A long-drawn sigh of re lief is now due from tho bill-paying, check-drawing side of the family, for the passing of the long glove for general wear means a considerable cutting down of expenses In the glove supply f or the i feminine members of the household-.- Even ', the surviving long gloves for wear, with j lingerie waists and evening gowns, fall ehort of the extravagent lengths and cor- I responding expensiveness which prevailed last season. The curtailment of only an inch or two of the fine, .soft, especially treated leathers and skins of which the finer gloves are made counts for economy in a way not to be lightly sneied at, and the considerate bobbing off. by Dame i Fashion, of from one inch to fourteen inches from the expensive extensions of the glove proper, should bo hailed with Joy by the masculine mainstay of the family exchequer. The new gloves come in several varle . ties, but the leading glove of the season will be the soft, fine, chamois style In the durable cut. A particularly mannish effect is striven for in the extremely short gloves that will be worn with the long-sleeved street suits and tailored 'gowns. This type of glove is shown In picture. No. 3, which repre sents what is declared to be the "leader" in the Spring glove trade by the manager .of a local establishment. This glove is -of finest quality and comes In white and natural color. The principle featuro is to mannish cut and general mannish effect, which is emphasized by the heavily outlined scams. This same type of glove, a little less mannish in style and with the long ex tension, for wear with the elbow-sleeved semi-tailored shirt-waist, is shown in No. 4. It is in soft chamois, in the heavy cream tint. No. 5 shows the season's new glove for the lingerie waist. It also is of chamois, of the softest and finest, but Is of pure white, the three-button opening at the wrist, so' handily contrived for the ' girl wTist border, also has place in the spring with a tooth for bonbons and ice cream, wardrobe, for the more elaborate wear, survives from last season, and probably Such a glove Is shown in No. l,v which Is will for many seasons to come.

Thoughts of De Reszke Make Her Very Happy Mrs. jvV i Corey, Formerly Mabelle Gilman. Will Stndv With, the Great Singer in Paris and Fit Herself for Grand Opera. .FRANCES BAUER. . May 1. (Special Corre- () fevery steamer out of .takes artiste and actors fiUid many who leave here . have long Reasons to finish abroad. Pad- erewskl Is playing for benefit concerts now, and will continue to do so up to the time of his sailing, May 7. Harold Bauer endeared himself still more to the people of Boston this week by playing for tho benefit of the sufferers from the Oheleea fire. As his offer and one from the Boston Symphony Orchestra came at the same time, they decided to accept them together, and on Monday the last concert was given by Bauer and by the orchestra under Dr. Karl Muck, who will return to the royal opera in Berlin. His successor will be Max Feldler, who appeared In New York a few seasons ago when the "gueVt conductors" were in or der at the Philharmonic concerts. - Among the outgoing passengers on Thursday were Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Corey. Before sailing Mrs. Corey, who as Ma belle Gilman was one of the most fascin ating actresses the American stage could boast, consented to tell me her plans for the Summer. Mrs. Corey is extremely beautiful, and she is as refined and as un assuming as one could possibly conceive. While in Paris Mrs. Corey will study with Jean de Reszke, where she will fit herself for grand opera, but not with the view of returning to the stage very far from this. Ebe is glad to be out of the public eye, but she loves the study and the art it self. "I am happy In the thought of resuming my studies with Jean de Reszke," said X-tu. Corey. "I expect to be at work within a few days after our arrival. No time will be wasted on details, because 1 have been working very hard this Winter learning every word and every note not alone of several operas, but also of songs which I want to do with De Reszke. It is a very foolish thing for a person to go to him and then btigln to learn things with him. The proper way is to learn things perfectly and then there Is plenty to do while with him, let alone to take up his Valuable time learning details which should have been done before leaving America." It may be well to say at this point t that Mrs. Corey knows how to study and she leaves no side lnoomplete. In addition to the voice, she works at the piano, at languages, at fencing and at dancing. She alxo rides like an Amazon and she gives much time to the best of literature. After hearing Mrs. Co rey's plans for study, .there was every reason to suspect that she was con templating a return to the stage, but she settled this question Very quickly, saying: "Now that I have no longer to think of a public, I can enjoy my study to the fullest extent, as I love the work for the work itself and the art for itself, and I never want to go back to the stage and never miss It. But I must work. I could not live without that, and I feel confident that I have worked harder this season than any of the artists either before the public or within a few months of their debuc But it will not be lost, because .1 am to have an appearance probably as Amneris in "Alda". with de Reszke in his own theater, and later I shall do someuung- which I think has never been done before and which appeals to me very much." Mrs. Corey then disclosed plana to have a theater in her own home the season after next, as she has in her Chateau in Paris, where she will pro duce the works of talented Americans who have no opportunity to have their works heard or to hear them them selves, for that matter. For this she will engage the best artists available for each production and she will no doubt appear herself. She plans to give three performances of each opera the first a dress re hearsal for the inner circle of friends, 'the second for critics, managers and musicians and . the third to create a fund to develop the talent of those who do not have the means to pursue their studies properly. Speaking of her own study and con templated appearance with de Reszke, Mrs. Corey said: "I shall be very hap py to appear with de Reszke, because he Is a great inspiration. As far as my acting is concerned, he has always been most complimentary, and he has frequently asked me to pose or gesture for the class. He certainly does not take the individuality out of his pu pils, and for this I 'am very thankful, as it is a phase of the work which I love and . in which I take especial pleasure. ' ".When -first I went on the stage -I was very certain that Shakespeare Was my vocation in life, and when Augustin Daly cast me for the darkey in "Thi Runaway Girl" I experienced deep grief. I stood it as long as I could and then I rebelled and told Mr. Daly very clearly and emphatically that I wanted to do Shakespearean roles. "His answer seemed preposterous then, but I see the truth of it now. He said: 'When you will have gotten all out of this part that there is in it and when you can do everything in it the way it should be done, there will be nothing in Shakespeare to learn but the words.' So I kept the part." Henry Miller and his company, who play under the name of "The Henry Miller Associate Players," are .planning to give "Electra" next season, notwith standing the lack of success with which Mrs. Patrick Campbell met in this work. The version to be used, however, will not be the one played by Mrs. Campbell, but is one made by Gilbert Murray, an Eng lish writer. Edith Wynne Mathison. who is leading woman in the. present Miller company, read the play on Wednesday before the Packer Institute in Brooklyn with very great success. She played this version of "Electra" two years ago at the Court Theater in London and the possibility of its presentation was strengthened by the presence of Edyth Olive, who Wednesday arrived in New York to replace Margaret Anglin in "The Great Divide." Miss Olive has played the role of Clytemnestra to Miss Mathi son's Electra. - The public has been greatly divided on the play now still running at the Savoy, entitled "The Servant In the House." It is written by Charles Rann Kennedy, the husband of Miss Mathison, and one of the most intelligent of men on his own score. "The Servant in the House" is de scribed best in the few words of the sewer cleaner, who cornes'to say that the conditions of filth and stagnation have been, finally located and that they lie deep under the church and it will be next to impossible to remove them without tear ing out the church. It is almost sure death to attempt to reach the seat of trouble and in so doing he is taking his life in his hands. The minister of the church, who will not allow htm to go alone, takes his hand and decides to go with him. The play is. of course, pure juunboluun and. those who ilka il ara ex travagant in their admiration of It and, or course, there are many contrary minaea. - - William A. Brady has Just signed contract with Jules Goodman, of Port land, who has made -his home in New York of recent years. The play will be put oft not later than October 1 with Louis Mann in the lead. The play for Mr. Mann has not yet been named, but Mr. Goodman has sold two other' works for Fall production. These are called "The Test" and "The Hock Shop." It is also announced among friends that Mr. Good man will join the rank of benedicts this Fall. The young woman is said to be irom Montana. - , The 200th performance "The Witching nour was given on Wednesday night, wun jonn Mason, as usual, in his remark aDiy excellent role of Jack Brooklield. This play has done much for the ad vancement of interest in things dealing wun tne psychic, and whether or not people are converted to this line of thought they give it more serious con slderatlon and a more deferential atten tlon. The plot deals with will power and what its influence can do. and it must be said that Augustus Thomas has followed the scientific facts with great fidelity. Jack Brookfield has a gambling house under nrivate ausnlces and. while receiving the visit of his sister ana niece whom he worships, he tries to keep his hand hidden. He has also the visit of a woman whom he loved in early years and it is her son who wins the affection and the hand-, of Brook field's niece over one Flank Hard muth, then Assistant Distrfct Attorney with prospects of becomlnar Proseeut. ing Attorney! the year following:. Clay v nipple, tne betrothed of Viola Camp bell, Brookfield's niece, accidentally kills Tom Denning, who tantalizes him by rubbing his hand with a scarf pin which contains a catseye for which he has an inherited aversion. Meanwhile the owner of the gaming tables re ceives the visit at the hour of 2 A. M. from one Justice Prentice, who comes to see a noted Corot in the possession of Brookfield. The Justice is very receptive and expresses Brookfield's opinions and answers questions before they have been put. Brookfield, after some conversation with him concern ing the power of mind over mind, or rather telepathy, is informed by . the justice that he is very strong and would develop all sorts of psychical possibilities were he to devote any at tention to it. He recommends him books on the BUbject and leaves. This power he uses later when the trial of the young man Is in the hand of tho man who wanted to marry Viola, and, after discovering that ' Hardmuth was responsible for the re cent murder of the Governor of the state, he permits the news published, MA MM fflPEHIACT Corner Was nington and Tenth Streets Credit; if Desired The Silk Suits just received at the "Style Store" are the most beautiful shown in Portland this season something wholly dif ferent in design and materials, embracing all the most wanted colors and Summer shadings rajah, taffeta, mirage, and tussah are employed, in the handsome tailored ef fects for street and in empire and princesa for dressy occasions.

" Great consternation among the young girls of the Horace Mann school: An edict went forth this week demanding a complete revolution among the young girls in tUeir manner of dress, as the present exaggerations have pushed the heads of this noted and exclusive in stitution to action. Among the arti cles which will come under the ban are the large hats, puffs and pompa dours, the peek-a-boo waists, all jew elry except a few harmless and Inof fensive pins necessary, large belt buckles, metal shoe buckles, and all things which through their tendencies tend to make the girls think of their appearance instead of the more serious I things of life. As may be expected. , the edict is rather severe,' but there is I no possible doubt that It was sadly ! needed.

It is skillfully designed to fashionably mould and shape the form into graceful lines. The ADJUSTO bands, when tightened, lift the abdomen, hold it firmly, and support it comfort ably. Gradually the excess flesh of hips and back is reduced and distributed equally, giving the straight back and new flat-hip effect. For all women obliged to stand a great deal, the ADJUSTO is absolutely without an equal. A j wearer, who is of medium figure, said recently: ! - "My duties require my standing most of the time, and until I wore the ADJUSTO it was diffi cult to finish my day's work without becoming exhausted. I can now do more work with less exer tion, and feel much better. It supports my figure perfectly, and is the -strongest and most service able corset I have ever worn.':' Another remarked: "Since wearing the ADJUSTO my hips, abdomen and waist have become noticeably smaller, and my figure is greatly improved. In all other corsets I require size 27, but I wear a size 25 ADJUSTO with perfect ease." ' ' All genuine ADJUSTO Corsets have trade-mark "ADJUSTO" stamped on inside.
