THfj coming of the long sleeve In the
new mode for street suits and. tail
ored gowns, means the practical
passing of the long glove, except for
evening wear or "with short-sleeved, lin
gerie waists. 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,

Thoughts of De Reszke Make Her Very Happy

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

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.

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. There are no more children.

J?The ADJUSTO
I equally adapted to
medium or average
figures. 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.
This ADJUSTO trade-mark is your protection against imitation.
