SOCIETY. AMATEURS IN COMEDY. Firt Theater Rehearsal of “The Schoolmistress.” The first theater rehearsal of “The Schoolmistress” took place last night, and passed oft with great success. The play has been studied under the man agement of Miss Olmstead, and the final rehearsals are being directed by Mr. L. W. Nelson, whose efficient coaching has contributed so much to the perfection of former productions of the Dramatic Club. Miss Josephine Egan is mistress of properties. The first act of the play shows the reception room at Volumnla College, near Portland Place, Miss Florence Olmstead taking the part of the prin cipal, Miss Dyott, and Miss Mary Wayne that of the under-governess, Peggy Hessleridge. The scene of the second act is laid in a classroom at Volumnia College. Miss Angie Cub bedge and Miss Frances Bradley ap pear as the pupils. In the third act the morning room at the house of Ad miral Rankling in Portland Place is shown. Judge McAlpin appears as Ad miral Rankling, Mrs. Roland Leigh as Mrs. Rankling, and Miss Mary Hous toun as Dinah, their daughter. Three of the leading male roles are AN EASILY MADE BLOUSE. Anyone with a knack for home dressmaking can very easily fashion as smart and attractive a garment as shown In the above illustration. The popular cape and stole effect is shown here to Its full advantage. These, in making a sheer blouse, may be trimmed with lace and ornamented with hand embroidery, thus transforming the designs into a lingerie blouse. The sleeves with the little tight cap above from which comes the full puff are the very newest things this season. The cuffs are also a good shape, being “turn back,” with a slight flare at the top. taken by Mr. Louis D. Morgan, as Mr. Reginald Fa.ulover; Mr. Clarence S. Connerat, as Lieut. John Mallory, of H. M. S. Pandora, and Mr. W. S. Rlun. as the Hon. Vere Queckett. Others in the cast are Mrs. Henry McAlpin, Mr. R. T. Waller, Jr„ Mr. Neyle Col quitt, and Mr. Robert Denham. The announcement yesterday that a matinee will be given Monday, in ad dition to the evening performance, has been a reason for much congratulation among those who are unable to at tend at night. While a matinee sel dom goes with the same swing as an evening performance, it appeals to a largo class of theater-goers, who would otherwise be debarred. That both productions will be excellent may be counted upon with certainty from the past successes of the Dramatic Club, which has gained an established repu tation for cleverness upon the amateur stage. A POST—I.KXTRSJ TEA, One of the attractive affairs of next week will be the tea and sale of fancy articles to be given on Friday after noon at the home of Miss Elisabeth Butler by her little circle of The King's Daughters. These young people have entertained in various ways on several other occa sions and their affairs have always been enjoyable. This, one will be rather more elaborate than those that have preceded it, and the fancy articles that have been prepared for the sale are really beautiful. The children have not depended upon their own fingers for the work, but have pressed their •Iders into service, with the result that everything is of most desirable kind. The circle does not confine its char ity to any particular object, but be stows It in various ways. Part of the proceeds of this tea will probably be given to the home for incurables, in any case to some worthy cause. ASIKOtSCEMESTS.

Pirikliam’s Vegetable Compound, and who can to-day thank you for tire fine health I enjoy. When I was thirty-five years old, I suffered severe backache and frequent bearing down pains; in fact, I had womb trouble. I was very anxious to get well, and reading of the cures your Compound had made, I decided to try it. I took only six bottles, but it built me up and cured me entirely of all my troubles. “My family and relatives were naturally as gratified as I was. My niece had heart trouble and nervous prostration, and was considered incurable. She took your Vegetable Compound and it cured her in a short time, and she became well and strong, and her home to her great joy and her husband's delight was blessed with a baby. I know of a number of others who have been cured of different kinds of female trouble, and am satisfied that your Compound is the best medicinefor sick women.”— Mrs. Elizabeth H. Thompson.
