A GREAT ATTRACTION.
The most notable attraction of the
season was presented at the Opera
House last night, the play being "The
Power Behind the Throne with Mil
dred Holland in the role of ' Aria.
The part of Aria, a young girl on the
one hand striving to be constant and
true to the man she loved and on the
other to be loyal to her aged parents is
a part not easy to i»ortray and the rom
antic play with its intense situations
and striking climaxes afforded Miss
Holland a fine opportunity to demon
strate her remarkable ability.
Miss Holland's acting is deficient in
nothing that goes to make up a success
ful star and she scored a hit last night
which will insure her a welcome when
ever she wishes to return to Danville.
She showed a most masterly interpreta
tion, while every action, every emotion
portrayed, was in perfect harmony with
the whole and was marked by that nat
tural grace and dignity that is always
present in acting when the mirror is
held faithfully up to nature.
Danville audiences are not over dem
onstrative, yet last night in several in
stances the house was carried away by
the fervor, the illusionary effect of Miss
Holland's acting and burst into storms
of applause.
The large company of some thirty
players was exceedingly well balanced,
made up of clever and talented people.
Wright M. Lorimer as the "President's
Son," and Camille Porter, as the "Duch
ess" were exceptionally strong in their
parts. The costumes were among the
most beautiful ever seen on the local
stage. The scenery was till new.
The audience, made up of an intelligent
and discriminating class of theatre
goers,was a very large one, comfortably
filling the entire building.
"The Power Behind the Throne ' is
an adaptation from Schiller's "Kabala
and Liebe" (Love& Intrigue) and is a
really strong drama. "Aria," the
daughter of Herr Winter and wife, is
the betrothed of Baron von >Hoheulohe,
the son of the president of an Austrian
principality. The president orders his
son to marry the Duchess von Wald
heim. a favorite of the prince govern
ing the principality. The love of the
Baron for Aria leads him to refuse com
pliance with his father's orders and the
father and mother of "Aria'' are thrown
into prison. "Aria' 1 is willing to give
up the Baron, but the latter refuses to
release her from thelengagemeut. The
president and the Duchess formulate a
plot to ruin Aria's goodlname and they
force her to write a compromising letter
to the Count von Oberfels and to after
wards flaunt her seeming shame in the
face of the Baron. To save her father's
life Aria attends a ball at the palace of
the Duchess and there she tells the Bar
on that she is the mistress of the Count.
After denouncing her. the Baron leaves
the room. Having fulfilled her forced
duty Aria turns and expresses some
forceful opinions of the Duchess spurn
ing the latter at her feet. The forth act
finds Aria at her home with her parents.
The Baron calls and by strategy forces
her to join him in drinking poison. Both
are found apparently dead, but the
Baron's valet had substituted a sleep
ing powder for the poison. The Duch
ess believes him dead and the curtain
falls after the president has agreed to
assist the Baron and Aria to leave the
country.
The telling of the mere ontline of the
story can give no adequate idea of the
play's strength nor can it show the in
tense heart interest that runs through
the entire piece.
"Some time ago my daughter caught
a severe cold. She complained of pains
in her chest and had a bad cough. I
gave her Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
according to directions and in two days
she was well and able togo to school.
I have used this remedy in my family
for the past seven years and have never
known it to fail," says James Prender
gast, merchant, Annato Bay, Jamaica,
West India Islands. The pains in the
chest indicated an approaching attack
of pneumonia, which in this instance
was undoubtedly warded of by Cham
berlain s Cough Remedy. It counteracts
any tendency of a cold toward pneumo
nia. Sold by Paules & Co.

The winter gowns are very dainty.
Tucks, featherstitchings, laces and
even fine embroideries figure largely
upon them. The rumor that we were
to return to simpler styles has not
been realized. Even in street and
mourning costumes this tendency to
elaborateness makes itself felt. Young
widows this season wear charming
dresses quite as fanciful as if they were
not mourning at all. The illustration
shows one of the latest designs of this
sort. The gown is made of soft eudora,
with a tucked pouched bodice and a
clinging skirt having a long train. The
waist has a front of crape embellished
in a crisscross effect of tiny bias folds
of the same crape. The panel which
forms the vest extends down the front
of the skirt, and a narrower band of
It heads the full bias rutlle of tucked
eudora which gives such a pretty flare
around the feet. A narrow turndown
collar and cuffs of hemstitched mull
are permitted to relieve the severity of
these thoroughly chic widow's weeds.
To leave a rather somber subject,
the most graceful little fur jackets are
now being shown in the shops. Many
of them barely reach to the waist line,
and the others have tiny close fitting
coattails or else postilion backs, the
upper half of the coat being pouched
Into a jeweled belt. Ermine and sable
Is a favorite combination in a jacket
of this description. The animal boa*
heretofore so popular are being ro-
FOB A XOVNO WIDOW,
placed by stole shaped scarfs similar
to those worn by our grandmothers.
The new muffs are absolutely without
stiffening and present a flat shape.
The more dressy are made with a nar
row top, widening out gradually. Long
boas of black and cinnamon bear are
both inexpensive and fashionable.
Sable fox is another fur which is
within the means of those who have
small purses. It is lustrous and very
handsome.
Never before have evening cloaks
been so elaborate. There is just at
present a fancy for all white or all
black garments lined with rich bro
cades, chiffons and laces. Gun metal
gray bengaline makes a very chic and
useful garment trimmed with incrus
tations of deep coffee lace and fasten
ing with beautiful jeweled buttons.
Perhaps the most practical coat is
made of black peau de sole. It can
be used for both day and evening wear.
I recently saw a garment of this sort
on a woman who was going into
Delmonico's. It was made with a
short empire waist and the triple cape
effect so stylish at present. Each cape
was edged with Persian embroidery.
A fluffy scarf of chiffon appliqued with
the embroidery fell from the fasten
ing of her collar almost to her feet.
A casual movement revealed the fact
that the coat was lined with a flow
ered Persian brocade, whose warm
tones harmonized with the embroidery
on the rest of the coat. The newest
sleeves for evening garments are either
cut flaring or else they are tucked from
the shoulder down to the elbow, where
they form a puff, which is held into a
snugly fitting cuff at the wrist.
The latest thing in separate blouses
Is the monogram waist. This is made
of tucked flannel, with a stitched stock
and belt, fastening with a medallion
of the goods embroidered with the
wearer's monogram in contrasting col
ors. This monogram also appears chev
ron fashion on the left sleeve.
The most up to date skirts for street
wear are finished with rows of wide
and narrow folds simulating tucks.
The prettiest evening gowns of the
season are made of black point d'es
prit or white net banded with wavy
lace insertions. If ruilles are used,
they are smart edged with narrow
ribbons—velvet ribbon for the black
dresses, satin for the white. Crushed
belts of black panne are finished in
the back with short bows and long
sash ends of black chantilly.
The latest hair ornament for evening
wear is a double wreath of tiny pink
roses. With this is worn a corsage
bouquet. also of the same tiny roses,
from which depend a score of tiny pink
velvet streamers, each knotted around
a rosebud. HENRIETTA ROUSSEAU.

Let as swing open the gates of the
New Year with joy, and welcome its
first morning light with gladness as we j
walk out into its untried trackless re
gion of beauty, hope and mystery. It
was given us that we might find its
treasured stores of wealth and make j
them ours to bless and cheer us every
day. We are all prospectors in its 1
broad fields where ores and precious
gems lie buried far from sight, and only
he who dares to dig and toil, will ever i
reach their hiding place.
We have entered a new circle of that
golden realm where we may enrich
others while blessing ourselves. Let us
give to those about us thoughts that ;
shall shine to brighten some dark and
lonely hour, and words that can never
die because their wings of kindness bear
them ever onto whisper love and tend
erness to sad neglected ones. Let us t
give deeds that shall help to their feet
those who have fallen and make them
strong and noble once again. If thus
we give to others, we also bless our
selves. A happy New Year to yon,dear
reader with a prayerful hope that as
yon walk through the unseen ways of
all its bright and cloudy days no dark
deep sorrow shall meet you in your
journey. 1 would have your life sub
merged in sunshine, with only clouds
enough to make a proper background 1
and a cool refreshing shade. 1 .would
have you cross over and pass far— O
very far l>eyond the threshold of the
"Three score years and ten' office,
prosperity and plenty and then 1 would
have your lamp of life gently darkened
only long enough to be relighted at the '
hearth of Heaven's happier home.

WHAT MEN ADMIRE.
rrminlnc ((niilitipN Which Attract
Heart* the Horld Ovi*r.
What do men admire in women?
In the very first place, I think, a
cheerful disposition. A man is afraid
to marry a woman who always sees
the sad side of things. He wants a
comforter, a brave spirit who will
stand by him through thick and thin
and laugh at the world's troubles. A
man who is a good reader of character
hesitates to tie himself to a woman
who lias 110 sense of humor. Then, a
man admires a girl who is popular
with her own sex, who has the right
sort of women friends and who shines
in her own circle. He admires a girl
with brains, but lie doesn't want tliem
always glittering before him so as to
dim his own. In other words, h«;
wants to be brilliant to.>. One of the
greatest qualities lie admires in a girl
is sympathy, that mysterious power
which brings out the best there is in
every person. A proud spirit also ap
peals to him, but one which knows oc
casionally how to unbend.
The modern man admires bravery,

A BRAVE SPIRIT. iter, even if only
outwardly put on, compels his worship.
The girl who never says an unkind
word about another woman is the one
who has many admirers; also she who
has high ideals and who clings to them.
In a few words, all notions to the
contrary, men really admire what if
noble, true, honest and strong, and the
woman who unites these qualities is
always sure of their deep regard.

DRESSING THE CHILD.
Have LLCKURIL FOP Its KeeHunn an*
Comfort.
The recent death of Kate Greeuaway
brings to my mind the subject of chil
dren's dress. No one but those who
lived in her day can appreciate the
benefit she conferred on tiny suffering
humanity. With her clever sketches of
small men and women inartistic aud
suitable costumes she entirely revolu
tionized children's dress. Before that
time little boys and girls of four aud
five were rigged out in ridiculous aud
painfully uncomfortable imitations of
their elders. The little boys wore long
trousers and top heavy hats. The little |
girls actually had their gowns made In
two pieces with tight bodices pinched
in at the waist and heavy gathered
skirts. It was thanks to Kate Green
away that one piece frocks and
guimpes came into fashion and that all
the weight of a child's loosely cut gar
ment was suspended from its shoul
ders, as it was proper that it should be.
No one but a foolish and unprogres
sive mother will dress tier children un
comfortably nowadays. The woniau
who makes her little son ridiculous by
tricking him out in curls, buckled
shoes and a generally "picturesque"
costume is way behind the times.
Neither does she succeed in her foolish
desire to make him look like an embryo
nobleman or a small multimillionaire.
The children of the rich are the very
ones who are most simply dressed.
The doctrine of health, of strong limbs
and of a bright, happy disposition
rules all. You may see these young j
heirs and heiresses to fortunes ruu- !
ning happily around in the park under
the care of their nurses. They are
MAKINO HIM RIDICULOUS,
dressed in warm, well tailored little
coats, in stout shoes and sensible hats
which " ill not blow off with every gust
of wind. In summer they wear low
socks with flat shoes, and their sturdy
little brown legs flash merrily over the
ground as they play good, old fashioned,
healthy games. The boys, fine, manly
little fellows, have their hair cropped
short, as a boy should. The girls wear
theirs in the plainest of manners. This
is happy, healthy childhood; childhood
as it is meant to be.

Witch Hairl In Attrloultore.
Agriculturally the witch hazel plant
has no value, as it hardly grows large
enough for fuel, but makes a bushy
clump full of branches. It is found
abundantly In bush pastures, and the
only good thing to be said about it is
that it acts as a nurse plant for better
forest growth, to which it gives way.
Medicinally It has a great reputation.
Extract of witch hazel is manufactur

wounds, bruises, etc. It is sold by the
bottle and the barrel and is in wide de
mand. Now conies In the agriculture.

It ! s not generally known that car
pets can be successfully dyed and thus
enter into new life. Almost any style
of weave can be so treated; but. of
course, ingrain must have no cotton
thread on the surface. It is beat always
to select for the new color something
quiet in both color and tone. A dead
leaf brown is excellent, while an olive
green or dull red is almost as good. Of
course the dyed carpet must be a solid
color, and this is why only the quietest
shades should be chosen.

HOW TO COOK BIRDS.
Expert Ofves Direction* For
HoasttuK and Broiling.
Now that the open season for game is
here the following suggestions from
the pen of Sallie Joy White of The
Woman's Home Companion will be
found pertinent and useful: The direc
tions for broiling are the same for all
small birds. Bear in mind, however,
that for the extremely small ones a
hot, bright fire Is needed, as the b'.rds
should be only browned; consequently
the time required for broiling them is
brief. Singe and wing the birds, then
split down the middle of tiie back, re
move the contents, pound the birds
lightly to flatten the breastbone and
wipe thoroughly with a damp, clean
towel, taking care that everything is
removed and the birds left perfectly
clean for cooking; season with salt and
pepper, rub thickly with soft butter i
and dredge with flour. For squabs or
quail about ten minutes are required I
for broiling. Smaller birds require less
time.
To roast birds draw and wash quick
ly, wipe dry, season with salt and pep
per and pin a thin slice of pork on the
breasts; put the birds in a shallow pan
in a hot oven and bake for fifteen or
twenty minutes. Partridges require
forty minutes. Serve 011 toast with
currant jelly and with bread sauce,
which is made in the following way:
One pint of milk, one-half cupful of
fine bread crumbs, two tablespoonfuls
of chopped onions, one tablespoonful
of butter, one-half tablespoonful of
salt, one-half saltspoonful of white j
pepper, two-thirds of a cupful of coarse j
bread crumbs and another tablespoon
ful of butter.
How to Make Scotch Scones.
To make Scotch scones cut one-quar

of flour with which two teaspoonfuls
o" baking powder has been sifted. Add
oue well beaten egg and milk enough
to make a paste that can be handled.
Turn the paste 011 to a floured board,
roll it out Into a sheet one-half inch
thick and cut into pieces about three
inches square. Fold each square cor
nerwise to make a three cornered piece.
Bake on a hot griddle until a light
brown. Send to the table in a napkin.

GOOD ROADS FACTOR
INFLUENCE OF TROLLEY LINES ON
HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT.
Their Extension Need Cause Good
Hoad Advocate* \o Alarm—Will I*-
crease the Volume of Travel—Prob-'
leins to lie Considered.
A new factor that must soon be tak
en into consideration in connection
with the good roads problem is the
rapid extension of the electric traction
systems into the rural districts. Not
content with the immense volume of
earnings of the intramural systems, the
street railway interests have invaded
the country with long interurban 1 lifts
that are already projected all the way
across large states, says 11. W. Perry
in Good Roads Magazine.
These street railways, or electric trac
tion roads, are not to be ignored by the
good roads workers. They must be
studied for the purpose of determining
the effect they will eventually have up-
HARD OK THE HORSE.
on highway travel, whether toward in
creasing or decreasing its volume or as
reducing the length of haul by horsea
and wagons and changing its direction.
Practically all of these railways par
allel important highways between the
principal cities and towns. Many of
| them have franchises from the state
j granting the right of construction and
j operation directly on the public high
ways, while others own part of them in
the shape of purchased rights of way.
The cars on these lines transport pas
sengers from town to town or between
the points on the road as comfortably,
more cheaply and almost as quickly aa
the steam cars between stations and
: far more quickly and agreeably than
| the trip, long or short, can be made by
horse and buggy or wagon. It seems
obvious, therefore, that the electric
roads will tend to reduce the light pas
senger travel along the wagon roads
I which they parallel.
! But the traction companies are not by
any means content with passenger busi
ness alone. They have already embark
j ed in the express and light freighting
traffic, despite the legal obstacles which
j are being thrown in their way by the
I steam railroad companies, whose con
tentions have been defeated In the su
preme court of Ohio. This freighting
] or express business promises in the
j near future to become more profitable
i to the roads than the transporting of
passengers and to grow more rapidly in
i volume. It cannot be doubted that this
| draws wagon traffic from the parallel
j highways.
As yet few if any of the electric roads
have attempted to embark in the heavy
freighting business in this country,
1 though it Irs been done in Europe.
We may safely predict, however, that
| in time the traction companies will at
! tempt to secure much of this business
' also, unless legal restrictions debar
them, for they can operate as cheaply
as the steam roads, and in many cases
they have advantages over the latter
in facilities for handling such freight.
However, if the interurban roads re
duce the travel between towns on the
highways which they parallel, they will
surely increase the travel on the cross
roads leading from the farms to the
railways and which act as feeders to
the steel ways. They will also undoubt
edly increase the volume of travel on
the roads reaching from villages off the
lines of the electric and steam roads to
those through which these lines extend.
Good road advocates have 110 reason
for becoming apprehensive that the ex
tension of the interurban electric rail
ways will cause any of the wagon
roads to be abandoned and to fall into
decay. While they seem likely to re
duce tratlic on some of the main thor
oughfares connecting towns, their ef
fect will be to increase the number of
short hauls in the aggregate on others.
It is at any rate a factor in highway
improvement.
The progress being made here and
abroad in the manufacture of practical
and economical steam and gasoline
trucks and "lorries," as well as passen
ger coaches, for the transportation of
freight and passengers on the public
highways offers the good roads enthusi
ast sufficient guarantee for a counter
acting influence tending to give the In
terurban wagon way a new importance.
It will probably then come to a strug
gle between the operator of the motor
stage and the electric traction com
panies to decide which of them can
reduce the cost of operation to the low
est point.
