a uniform, though they are not armed.
Their chief duty is to act as gate
keepers of the Inner, or Women's pal

stranger who enters the palace and re
main with him until he takes his de
parture. They see that there is no mis
chief done, and that no one makes love
to the royal wives and court ladies. The
palace has some difficulty in recruiting
these guards, as the work is hard and
the pay poor.
The bona fide maimed and lame beg
gars of Paris streets have formed an
association for the defense of their

ville season at the busy theater.
The Fadettes first came into promi
nent position in the vaudeville world at
’ B. F. Keith's theater in Boston, and
| after a tour of the circuit won the
honor of creating a number of attend
ance records. There are eighteen young
ladies in the musical organization, and

I teiest will be used during the engrge-
I ment. The act has appeared with great
success in best vaudeville theaters in
the land, and the engagement here will
be a special event.

the orchestra, is a skilled and careful
director of musical successes. She has
won the attention of some of the great
music masters, and will prove her abil-
It.v during thp engagement of the
Fadettes at the Forsyth.
Kellar Mack and Frank Orth, the well
known song w rlters. have scored a
great success this season In a coined?-
singing sketch that has been classed
with the headline features In every

ters who have won attention because
of their vocal talents. The young la

best headliners and have won attention |
and created interest.
A clever act will be the presentation
of Arthur Sullivan and Charles Bartling
in the sensational sketch. "The Fight
er and the Boss." This is a sketch
founded on a political game and is in
tense in sensational climax. Ben Smith,
a comedian of some prominence and
who is. declared to he one of the best
singers in vaudeville, is on the bill.
The Three Josett? Brothers, clever and
original acrobats, and Captain Poyvers,
the Irish ventriloquist, make up the
bill.

able these warm afternoons. The house
is equipped with a splendid cooling sys
tem and every audience has been de
lighted with the comforts.

and it may be predicted that the bill
will be up to th® Forsyth standard.

Anty Drudge on Vaccination.
Health Department Doctor—“ Give me your arm, Mrs.
Malone, I have been sent to vaccinate you.
Mrs. Malone— On me’arm? How will I be able to wash
wid me arm the soize of a horse’s leg?”
Anty Drudge ‘‘lf you’d use Fels-Naptha soap, you’d be
able to do all the washboard rubbing necessary with
one hand. ”
How much of Monday do you spend
at rhe wash-tub' Far too long if yon wash
clothes any way except the Fels-Naptha
way. One of the greatest blessings of
Fels-Naptha soap is its quick action. W hen
you use Fels-Naptha, a half hour's soaking
in cold or lukewarm water will thoroughly
loosen the dirt. While the clothes soak
you are free to do other work. Then rub
lightly, rinse and the clothes are ready for
the line.
Fels-Naptha soap robs Monday of it’s
drudgery. But it must be used the
Fels-Naptha way —no boiling, no hot water.

Corsets for 1912
Not every wnmaii realizes the impor
tance of the corset. On the corset depends
everything. If the corset is not right in
every detail, and if it does not fit per
fectly. the foundation of one’s gown .can
not he right, and. consequently, one’s ap
pearance can not be correct.
Therefore, it is necessary to choose
carefully the corset; and. if you would
have the smartest in corsetry, buy one of
the new modish models of American Lady
Corsets —the corsets acknowledged best in
style, most comfortable and most durable
—the corsets worn by best dressed women
everywhere.
The new spring and summer models
reflecting the latest fashion dictates con
form to the lines of the natural figure,
producing the graceful straight-hipped sil
houette.
Every correctly gowned woman
should look supple, and. as it were, un
corseted. This is difficult, generally
speaking, but easy with American Lady
Corsets.
Let our expert corsetieres fit just the
right model for your figure.
