In this brilliant scene two hundred dancers nppeur in all manner of cos tumes and glittering jewels. All are masked until the usual time, and then the unmasking takes placo. This is a time of danger for the little heroine, played by Miss Allison, but it all turns out for the .best anil the fun and gaiety is fully sustained through the evening. "A successful adventure" is a play particularly suited to the buuutiful &etro star and gives full scope for llor clever interpretation of the role ho plays.-' .lime Mathis wrote Miss Allison's new play and Harry Frank lin directed it. Hill Hart in "A Suunre Deal" rounds out the program. Could Not Live Without Birds. The value of birds to man Is based (Mvclpnlly on their feeding habits, 'ltwlr grentest help Is through their activity In eating harmful Insects, fltelr eggs nnd larvae. Without this constant aid, we would be powerless to protect our trees and crops from the riivnges of caterpillars, beetles, borers and such crentures. Tht Golden Tomorrow. It Is cusy to believe In that golden tomorrow. To young pnph particu larly, the future seems brlgli' wllh promise, no ninlter what the com plexion of the present.

Dark mixtures, plain cloths with soft finish and the attri bute of warmth In their nppeur nncc at least In browns, blues, greens and grays, appear popular In the showings In the same order as they nre mentioned here. Brown, In several warm and several dark shades has been chosen for street and for formal suits, with such persistence that It may displace navy blue which lias had a phenomenal vogue. Browns and mix tures In brown and gray seem some how to associate themselves In the mind with khaki and iu a few of the new models the styles are very dis tinctly of military origin.

Collars are not always of the same material ns the coat, for velvet and fur nre used In many ofthem. A nnictieul and nrettv suit for the college girl who must now be mtmted with a waruroiic ror tan, is snown in the picture.

Tho skirt Is plain, ankle length nnd wide enough for comfortable walking. Few Dinner Frocks Worn. The question of evening gowns or dinner frocks Is still before the public and extremely beautiful models are shown, but tho demand Is stendlly growing less.
