Meanwhile, make a strong soap suds in a quart of warm water, using s soft brush to get the soap off the cake. Squeeze and press the flannel in the soapy water; if any soiled parts appear, stretch the part on a smooth surface and rub the strong suds into the cloth with the brush.

I Tie title ef the niay at the Lyric this week, "The Devtt" soma to be attrac tive, jadoHBg by tha aute of tba audiewca - : greeted the performance last which night. The title, however, is the most attractive part of the play, which with justloe, and in more sense than one, might be called a devil of a play. That the performance was not warm ly received speaks well for the taste and discrimination of Portland audi ences. There Is really no excuse and little room for such a play on an Amer ican stage. That kind of thing may ?:o well with a Parisian audience, but t is a little too broad for Americans, even though we have of late years learned to stomach a good deal that would have shocked us not so long ago. The author, Frans Molnar, probablv intended the play to be suggestive, but he haa left little for the imagination. The play is about as suggestive as the ordinary slap-stick, rough-and-tumble farce, and the man whose Imagination goes much farther than the play la not one with whom most people care to have any acquaintance.
