All About Tall People
To the Kttitor of Woman's rapt:
Dear Madam You have helped an many
others that I bring my troublaa io jou,
PJeaae consider my questions aertoualy, how
ever ahaurd thev may seem. Do you know
of any way In uhh.li u tall person may per
manently decrease hla height? When la a
man mnatdered tali? When la u woman
tall? What la the Ideal height forji woman?
Will sou sive me tha nomea of aome tall
movns-Plrlure actreasra and their height?
Itow ahould a tall wojnsn draaa so as to de
crease her height?.
A CinATKs'in, READER.
There Is no method for a tall peraon
to decrease his height permanently or
temporarily. A man la considered tall If
he la Ave feet eleven or more. A woman
Is considered tall If ahe la five feet seven
or above that, There la a great difference
of opinion about the Ideal height for a
woman, Annette Kellermanu, who Is con
sidered a perfect woman, la only about
Ave feet five, and Mary Plckford, an
other favorite, Is even shorter than that,
On the other hand, Mrs. Vernon Caatle
la considered Ihe acme of grace, and she
Is nearly five feet eight or nine Inches,
and Jane CowLflavho la quite aa tall. Is
also much admired. It fa Impossible to
tell the exact height of moving-picture
actresses without writing to them, but
some of the taller onea are Mrs. Castle,
Olga Petroya, Kdltli Storey and Theda
Bara. A tall woman ahould wear wide
brimmed, low-crowned hata rather than
tall, narrow-brimmed ones, and loose
fitting, full-skirted dresses rather than
tight-fitting, narrow-aklrted onea. Stripes
are forb'dden to thn tall woman, aa they
accentuate the height, and lng. atralght
llnea ahould be aoldtd for the earn
reason. '

DOCTOR'S PRESCRIPTION
By Annie A. Curtis
Di
L'UAL S , a youth of twenty
earn, prefer cd the gray loads
and hills of the country to the prred
sidewalks and bright lights of the oltv.
To meet his heart's desire, Dougal hail
gone to llo with his old aunt on her
forty-acre farm In the town of Oreene.
His aunt was a very set lady, but as
Dr.ugal acknowledged her ways were
always best, she had grown to cherish
the boy and called him very smart.
One morning early in April a girl of
slender build nnd pallid color walked
Into the town of Greene, wishing to ob
tain a pr.wlllon as "farmerette." A week
before the doctoo had said, "If you'll
take mv adWee und go to the country
vou will pull through." Consequently,
Carylon fs gae up her position as
stenographer, where she had been earn
ing 125 a week. She called nt several
nf (he large farms, but they "didn't
just think ehe wou'd lie competent
enough.; When Carylon called at Dou
gal s H door sho gave her name ns
Jessie j . sho told hltn her wants
nnd he called his nunf to talk the mut
ter over with her. "Well, perhaps you'll
make good If vou do lust ns we sav."
replied Aunt Xanry, adjusting her spec
tacles. That afternoon Jessie donned
her bloomers nnd blouse nnd accompa
nied nougal to tho clikken houses to
help him cover Iho onenln, with cloth.
As time passed onward the poultry
grew and the beriles rinenerl fine
afternoon as Dougal and Jessie were

was surprised to note how swiftly Jessie

self, thinking how much company she
was for him. "Say, Doug, why don't
you get un strawberry festlvnls?" nM
Jessie, looking up from her work. "Ad
vertise anu im sure you could get large
crowds from the city. The old-fashioned
dining room would he grand and I think
Aunt Nnncy would bo willing. I know
lots of people who would grasp the op
portunity to eat strawberries and cream
In such a dlninir room.' Dniiaal thnua-ht
Jessie's plan very favorable nnd that

of Uall Leslie, who. In a smaller sense,
of course, sacrificed a big career ; of
Helen Brander, who gne up Jim after
a few days of complete happiness as his

She had never until the present been

Her real sacrifice had begun on the
day when Doctor Bradley had told her

SQUIRREL AND VELVET

This luxurious mil is in black vel

A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
FOR many years we hae looked upon
squirrel fur as the appropriate peltry
for trimming coats for unall children
and for making fur sets fur little girls.
But this year the grown-up women have
Ihe first selection of squirrel, and if
there Is anything left for the little folk
ull well and good. However, according
to present Indications, the share of the
latter wlil be exceedingly small.
That squirrel should have been In Ihe
discard for so long seems rather
strange, where there are so pinny points
In Its favor. Not the least of its good
qualities is Its beautiful cclor a brown
ish gray that Is almost universally be
coming to all women. And this alone
should, It would seem, keep It continu
ally In fashion.
At any rate we have It as extremely
fashionable fur for this season, It Is
used for coats long and short, for scarfs
and muffs, for trimming of coats, suits
and dreases.
Squirrel Is particularly beautiful when
used with elvet. And It Is this com
bination that Is Illustrated today, Black

suit. The coat flta snugly across the

SUPPRESS
ach - o -Lantern Devices and Many
In a moment to make the moa attractive
paper costumes for a Halloween party,
and If you are cleer at all for sixty
cents you have ft witch drew of any
sort you choose.
There Is crepe paper, -yellow with
black witches nnd cats and broomsticks,
candle shades cut like big cats' heads
that would be very effective for the
table, pully-ples, and even heavy paper
dishes with pumpkins painted on them,
to complete a very novel supper table.
One particularly clever little favor
would be easy for any one to make, and
yet It was ono of tho most attractive of
all. It Is a lollypop a plain, old
fashioned candy lollypop, tn Halloween
nrray. On Its paper-covered face Is
pasted eyes nnd nose nnd mouth ! on Its
head a cap of yellow crepo paper, a sun
bonnet, or a witch's cap or goblin's ellln
headgear, und Its dress Is of the most
exquisitely shaded lead brown paper,
rolled around tho edges so that It sticks
out crisply, nnd is derorated with crim
son leaes.
Tho ptlces on these things have not
advanced on account of tho war, or at
least not much, so that Halloween can be
celebrated In the old tplrlt.
Huth would probably remember all" her
life that moment after the doctor -had
gono when she crept Into her mother's
loom nnd stood gating at the white
face on the pillow. There were several
th'ng.s that Huth noticed particularly
as she stood und looked down nt her
mother, little things that had nothing
to do with tho momentousness of the oc
casion. The fact that Martha hnd Pot
pulled the outside lace spread down, the
piotualon of smoked pearl hairpins that
her mother had affected, strewn over the
mahogany dresser, and the untidiness of
her mother's clothes, which hnd been
tlirbwn carelessly on a chair. All of
this P.uth noticed before she crept close
to the bed nnd sat down In the big
chair that Doctor Bradley hud occupied
Just a few minutes ngo.
"Mother, dear," she whispered, her
hot tears wetting the pillow as she bent
over it. "Mother, dear, only get well,
and I'll do nn. thing."
A long time Huth sat there and;
waited, over an hour ehe cramped her'
muscles nnd forced herself to sit mo
tionless In the chair, when suddenly
her mother's ejea unclosed and she
looked up nt Ruth dazedly.
Instantly I'.utli slipped io her knees.
"You feel better, dear?"
Mrs. How-land nodded, then a per
turbed look came Into her eyes. "Oh,"
.ho wailed, like n child, "1 remember
now, you were going to sell your loely
trousseau, tho pretty things 1 bought
fcr ou. Oh, Huth:"
"But I'm not going to do It, mother.
1 promise jou I won't."
"You're not going to do if.'"
"No, dear, we'll keep everything; Just
get well, und forget this headache ai.
you'll see how happy I'll make you."
"And jou won't leave me, Huth,
ever?"
'"No, mother, dear, never."
Mrs. Rowland held her daughter's
warm young hand in her own rcassui
ingly. "Of course I don't mean that I
don't expect jou to marrj-," she went on.
"But I wad so afraid that you would In
sist upon going to France."
"Of course not, mother," ltuth re
turned, repressing a sigh. In vcrj- truth
she hud thought of doing that very
thing. She had thought that perhaps
tier mother would see things differently
after a tlmo and that It might not be
hard to persuade her, but she was quite
sure now that such a hope was. out of
the question.
"I'm so tired," her mother said, turn
ing on the pillow, and smiling up at
Huth weakly. "I think I'll go to Bleep
now."
"is j-our head better?"
Mrs. Kowland nodded, and as Huth
bent over her, her eyelids slowly closed
'and In u few minutes she was In a deep
sleep.
And .Vlps ltnulattrl wna tniicli better
when sho woke up, and continued to im
prove everj- da' under Ruth's cart,
I Huth gave up her work down town tem
i porarlly and then discovered that it
would be, Impossible to go back to- It at
all. rno nrst morning wnen sne nup
pened to make ment'on of It at the
breakfast table her mother put her off
with au excuse.
"Whj-, jou promised to go down town
witli me this morning to match that
wool."
"Let me get It for jou on the way
home, won't you?"
"Oh, no, 1 want to select It myself."
"Hut you really don't need me,
mother."
"I should- like your advice, don't you
want to go?" This 'last was asked
wistfully.
"Of course, dear."
"That's splendid then, and we can
stop for lunch at that new pastry
shop."
Hulh saw that her mother was going
to give her no time at all, and gave in
with noinore words on the subject.
The same tentative bandying back and
forth of words took place the pext day,
and nuth saw that her mother wan
going to take advantage or her In every
way. Either she would have to give
up entirely the work she had enjoyed
so much and that Just ae ahe had been
making splendid headwaj', or else ahe
would hae to go with her mother lo the
meetings of the tKfferent clubs anu
help in the conventional manner. She
simply could not believe that life would
demand such a sacrifice aa that fropi
her. Surelj', surely something would
happen eoon that would open her
mother's eyea und show the way out
of this difficulty.

Auditing the End of the "Dtn
A HAY ot light has penetrated the
gloom which settled down on Phila
delphia's amusement circles for a second
time yesterday when Acting State
Health Commissioner Itoyer decreed tha
Indefinite continuance of "dark dayi"
for the theatre. That bright gleam
again haa emanated from the City's
Board of Health, which alnce Thursday
haa sought to bring about tha lifting of
the ban which resulted from the Influ
ent; epidemic. By order of the board
tha churchea may open tomorrow And
the schools on Mondaj. And what la
more. If the difference between the
city and Ntate authorities as regards the
edlot against the theatres and other
public gatherings cannot be Ironed out
loday or tomorrow. It Is not unlikely that
Director Krusen and his colleagues may
take It upon themselves at their meeting
next Monday to permit tire reopening
of places of Amusement. The city health
board a power to take auch action exists,
In the opinion of City Solicitor Connelly,
tn the meantime the theatre managers,
hitherto so prevailingly optimistic, con
fess they have been converted to a aort
of fatalism which precludes any further
predictions aa to when their places will
reopen. They Inalat that they are as
much tn the dark now aa ever alnce the
Influenza chat a wet blanket over the
realm of amusements, and ao they have
settled back to another period of watch
ful watting..
There Is no malting light of the trou
bles of the Philadelphia managers. One
.of thotr number, a veteran whose judg
ment commands respect, estimates the
aggregate loss to all the Philadelphia
houses for a period of threa weeks In the
matter 'of rentals, salaries, profits nnd
disrupted organizations at $200,000. But
this estimate covers only the three
"dark" weeks just ended nnd does not
reach Ihtc a further continuance of tho
closing period.
I.N" SPITE of the uncertain outlook the
Philadelphia houses are prepared to
lore ho time In reopening once the
amusement ban Is lifted. The "Leave-It-to-Jane"
Compan.v, which lift") weath
ered the storm of the last three weeks,
can be reassembled on very short notice
and resume Its successful run at the
Opera House. Most of the players, after
their patriotic tabors In the fourth Lib
erty Ixian campaign, In which by their,
inaiviouaienorts tnej oDiainea in me
neighborhood of $2,000,000 worth ot sub
scriptions, have made their way back to
Broadwaj-, where they will spend tho
time while waiting for a telegraphic
summons. At the Oarrlck Mary Ryan
has. been prepared to open In "The Lit
tle Teacher," but now that the hoped-for
rcdpenlnn- of the theatres next Monday
no longer is assured, the plans of the
Garrlck management as regards this
play 'are still In the making. The limited
engagement of Klhel Barrymore In H. C.
Cartons comedj-, "The Oft Chance," and
tho 19s series of Ihe Xlegfeld "Follies,"
both of which were scheduled to Open
Monday respectively at the Broad and
the Forrest Theatres, may have to be
extended beyond the two-week period al
lotted to Philadelphia should not the re
opening "order come earlv noil uohl.-
When the Adelphl reopens Alma Tell will
ue been in "Tne Kyes of Touth." a dra
matic novelty dealins? w-lih the r,,i,i,,o
of a crystal ball. AUhnua-h "The km.
Burglar" had been scheduled for the
Lyric's reopening, the outlook now Is
for either the Comstock-Klllott imt.ti
comedj-, "Oh. Ladj-, Lady!" or Llonol
Barrvmora In Aiimiina Th.Ma-. a ..
of Civil Har patriotism with many present-day
applications. At tlfe Bhubert
the probable reopening attraction will be
Maj-thne," a musical comedy which for
two years has been playing in New
xork.
PEERING still further into the future
bookings at the Philadelphia thea-
..c. ii a announceti mat tho succeeding
attraction to "Leave It to Jahe nt the
Opera House will be tha Winter Har

of 1918." The cast aeen hero v-in h

tno mosi part. However, the future book
ings are very uncertain, and the chnncea
are that (his- condition will be accentu

set all the best-laid plans of the thea
tres. s
FOR music-lovers the week beginning
November 4 will be a busy one. 'That
afternoon the Mondaj- muslcales will
come to life again at the Bellevue with
a program that should prove appealing.
Luclen Muratore, one of the greatest of
the French tenors, brings with him
George True, pianist, and Alexander E.
Debrullle, violinist, both of them young
French musicians who have seen serv
ice at the front and, after having been
Invalided home, were grunted leave's of
absence by their Government. They
will appear here In uniform.
Monday evening the Boston Symphony
Orchestra will give Its first concert at
the Academy of Music under the direc
tion of Pierre Monteux,- of the Met
lopolitan Company. Monteux has di
rected opera in Philadelphia before,
but this time he comes In an entirely
new capacity while substituting for
Henri Habaud, the new permanent con
ductor of the orchestra, who will not
aBaume charge until the musicians re
turn from their first tour. The soloUt
will be Florence Eaaton, last heard
here last June with the Davis Grand
Opera Festival. The program com
prise Franck's Symphony In D minor,
Schumann's "Manfred'1 overture. -Vincent
d'Indy's "I star" and Debussy's
"Iborla."
For 'the flrat time Tueaday evening
of that week Phlladelphlana will have
an opportunity to hear Alfred Cortot,
tha French pianist, who makes hta flrat
appearance here with tha Paris Con
servatoire Orchestra. Quite naturally
the program contalna a preponderance' of
Frenoh works, but Beethoven's Fifth
Symphony Is Included, The. program
follows in its entirety; Overture,
"Patrle," Blset ; aymphonle ert ut mlneur,
Beethoven; prelude, a ''L'aprea d'un
Fauna." Debussy : auatrleme concerto.
Salnt-Saens ; morceau eymphonlque ex-
