Remember, If you are tasking a dress
or blouse for a growing girl, let the
aleeves.be amply long, so that the child
will not outgrow them before the dress
Is worn out. Three narrow tucks placed
between the elbow and shoulder serve as
a way to "let down" sleeves after the
arm has grown.
If you like lace frills on your frocks,
choose a pattern that has a good, strong
edge, so that It will not (ray out in the

COTTAGE CHEESE IS
UUTRITIOUS FOOD
Many of our country people eat new
cheese raw, not cheese made from sour
milk but cheese made from sweet milk;
this is sweet and palatable, but solid
and difficult to digest.
The cottage cheese being prepared
from- milk allowed to stand until a thick
bonny-clabber Is formed, then slightly
heated by the addition of hot water or
over a vessel of boiling water, the curd
strained out and mixed, with cream or
butter and seasonings Is a very nutrl
tlous and digestible food, very high In
protein, which gives It a flesh food value.
The ordinary sweet curd cheese is
made from sweet milk, the curd sepa
rated by the action of rennet, then
strained and pressed. This cheese is a
valuable and digestible food when prop
erly cooked; but If eaten raw should
only be taken in small quantities and
with bread, crackers, 4c
Cheese, because it Is nitrogenous (or
proteld) matter Is a muscle and tissue
building food, and is digested in the
stomach; because it Is also a condensed
food it requires the addition of a cer
tain amount of the starches found in po
tatoes, rice, macaroni and cereal prod
ucts to make It a well balanced ration.
THERE ABE MAHY WATS
TO CUBE SLEEPLESSNESS
If you are troubled with sleeplessness.
try one of the following simple reme
dies before going to a doctor with the
plea that he give you something to
make you sleep:
Brink a glass of warm water before
going to bed Instead of the usual glass
of cold water. Sip It slowly, and If pos
sible eat a small biscuit or cracker with
It
Avoid all mental exercise for at least
half an hour before retiring: allow the
brain to rest and become calm before
you attempt to sleep.
Stand before an open window and
breathe deeply, inhaling through the
mouth and exhaling through the nose;
then He down and continue doing this
until sleep overtakes you.
Keep the eyeballs looking down, or roll
them from one side to the other, count
lng each time they move.
This Is the principle by which we are
told to count sheep leaping over a log.
The sound of water dropping slowly Into
a pan or the ticking of a clock will oc
cupy and quiet the brain, and looking
steadily at one object or a point of light
will bring the blessing of sleep to weary,
wakeful eyes.
TOOTHPICKS ABE USEFUL
Uf THE KITCHEN
"I always keep a box of toothpicks
handy In the kitchen." observed the
model housewife.
"Horrors!" exclaimed her friend.
They are ever so much more satis
factory for testing a cake that is baking
than the old-fashioned broom straw.
They are always handy for skewering
a steak or cutlets that are Inclined to
be ragged-edged. la frying croquettes,
a toothpick run through each as it goes
into the hot fat will keep it from crum
bling to pieces and losing Its shape. In
making homemade candles a toothpick
answers the purpose of a dipping wire
when you want to cover creams with
chocolate. There are so many things I
find to use toothpicks for that I can't
remember them all."

Maid." which Bade its Waahlagton dejsut
wbere'lt seored a verl table .triumph.
This latest production of Werba
liuescber quite rivals Its twin sister. "The
Spring Maid,'' In wealth of comedy,
melodious music and spectacular presen
tation. 'The theme is from ,Bub Oder
Maedel. adapted by Harry B. Smith and
Raymond Feck, with music by Bruno
Oranlchstaedten, the youngest of the
Viennese waltz kings' who have set. the
world to whistling their tuneful melo
dies, and staged by George Marion..
As surprising as -the announcement
may sound In connection 'with musical
comedy, "The Rose Maid" tells a story
sufficiently human and coherent as to
elicit ( the genuine Interest of an audi
ence. The hero Is the young Duke of
Barchester, heir of a bachelor uncle.
The1 duke has succeeded in getting Into
the clutches of Dennis. Schmuke, and
Chumley, three loan brokers, .at whose
expense he Is giving' a little party all
bis own when his rich old uncle appears
unexpectedly on the scene. Sir John
Portman's Identity Is mistaken by the
loan sharks until they succeed In betray
ing his nephew's extravagances, where
upon the uncle prompter pretends to have
married and to have acquired an heir,
which furnishes excuse for his disinher
itance of the young duke, a misfortune
which costs Barchester the speedy loss
of his pleasure-loving friends and of his
Dances, the Princess Hilda, whose love
I la shocked out of existence by the picture
of possible poverty.
The bankers, hoping to reimburse them
selves of the money loaned the young
spendthrift, scheme to marry him to an
American heiress, in which plan the
Countess Bertrand assists them, since in
doing so. she sees an opportunity to set
tie a personal score with one of the
money lender.
The little "Rose Maid" is made the
foil of the schemers, who all hasten to
Ostend, where the second and final act is
devoted to working out the ultimate hap
piness of Daphne. "The Rose Maid."
who not only wins a reciprocal love from
the duke, but restores him to his uncle's
favor.
A delightful strain of sentiment is
mixed with the comedy of the piece,
particularly at the end of the first act.
when the debonair young duke, deserted
by his professed friends after a night of
revelry, which. It would appear, has cost
htm his Inheritance. Is left al&ne with
his faithful old bodyservant and Daphne,
whose father was a soldier in the regi
ment of Sir John Portmar-the little rose
girl, who secretly holds the duke's Image
in her heart.
The white-haired servant totters across
the room, and. with trembling hands,
wraps a cloak about his master, who
sings a farewell that Is full of pathos
and melody, to the wasted days that
have sped, while Daphne sinks heart
brokenly into a big chair in tho firelight
unable to control her sobs.
It Is to this rare combination of comedy
and pathos In "The Rose Maid" that we
owe the unusual musical transitions from
a most Cohanesque synclphated rag to
the hauntlngly beautiful strains of the
best there Is of the Vienna school. That
the mixture Is thoroughly delightful was
last night attested by the Joyous recep
tion which it was accorded by an ex
ceptionally large Monday night audience,
which applauded every feature of the
production from the delicious comedy of
Al Shean. who kept the house convulsed
with merriment In his Impersonation of
the German member of the money-lending
trio, to the "Rose Song," which was
delightfully rendered last night by Dor
othy Maynard.
Miss Maynard s song, "Roses Bloom
for Lovers." Introduces the "Rose Maid
Waltz.' which Is sufflcletnly entrancing
to set the nation a-waltzlng. If her ex
quisitely delicate voice were not suffi
ciently charming to prove to the audi
ence that "white roses last longer than
red ones, her magnetic personality
would assuredly have turned the trick.
Arthur Clough waa cast last night as
the Duke of Barchester, a role which
gave him excellent solo numbers which
won htm repeated encores. Mr. Clough
has a tenor voice of wonderful range
clear and sympathetic As the young
duke he proved himself a meritorious
actor, ss well as a singer of ability.
R. E. Graham, as the uncle, handled
the characterization capably, while Ju
liette Dika presented a clever and con
vincing Countess Bertram, under whose
chaperonage a group of beautiful Amer
ican heiress tour Europe, ostensibly to
see the world In reality to buy titles.
Karl Krusada, cast as the proprietor of
the hotel at Ostend. furnished a violin
dlvertlsement. which scored heavily, and
proved Mr. Krusada more capable of
making bis living by wielding the bow
than In the character of hotel-keeper.
Edith Decker as the Princess Hilda,
shared her enthusiastic applause with
Dorothy Follls, one of the American
heiresses, being chaperoned by the
Countess Bertrand) who balked on the
road to the title chase because of her
love for young Bertie Wampole. a cadet,
whom she met previously in Washington.
D. C Charles Compton Is the honor
able BetJIe Wampole, a small role,
which be handled creditably.
Ed. Gallagher and Arthur Laeely as
sisted Mr. Shean In the fun-making of
the evening, which was so spontaneous
and genuine as to force them to respond
to repeated encores.
One of the song hits of the evening
was the "Happy Family." during which
seven "Kute Kiddles" appeared with

"Tka Littlest Rebel." .
"The Littlest Rebel" returned' .to" the
National last night to .receive the' same
cordial greeting accorded her on her
Washington appearance last season, when
Edward Peple's sympathetic and appeal
ing four-act play delighted an who saw
it. With all the grim reality of war aa a
background. Mr. Peple's-story is one of
simple humanity the story of a little girl
whose love for her father, a Confederate
scout, wins his release at the hands of
Gen. Grant, and also the, restoration of
his command to the Union officer, who. In
order that she might pass safely through
the Union lines, finds, himself court-mar
tialed and a likely target for the firing
squad.
Little Vlrgle Cary. 'The Littlest Rebel.'
Is the daughter of Capt Herbert Cary,
wno is nadir wanted by a Union detach
ment commanded by Lieut. CoL Morri
son. Cary s tracked to a cabin, where
he has gone to see Vlrgle. but hides him'
self and tells the little girl that aha must
tell a He and say that he has been there.
but has gone. Morrison cornea, and then
occurs that tenderly appealing scene be
tween virgie and the "damn Tank." as
she calls blm.
Morrison himself has a little girl, about
Vlrgle's age, and when he has finally
trapped her Into disclosing her father's
hiding place,- and has made him come
down. Is loath to take Cary away from
her. He writes Vlrgle a oass throuxh
the Union lines for herself and escort
and tells Cary that he must be the es
cort. Virgie and Cary get away from the
cabin, and are making their way to
R:chmond when they are held up and
their pass taken from them by a cor
poral In the detachment commanded by
Morrison. This corporal has a grudge
against his commander, and with the
pass as evidence hopes to prove Morri
son a traitor. The Confederates have
been creeping In from all sides and Mor
rison arrives In time to participate In
a most realistic battle. The roar of
the cannon, the screech of the shell, the
short pop of the muskets, and the whiz
of the ralnnle balls Is faithfully re
produced.
The last act takes place In an old
Colonial mansion used by the Union army
aa headquarters. The corporal has made
good use of his evidence and Morrison
Is disgraced. Vlrgle Is called before the
general as a witness. Morrison is or
dered to take his command and Cary and
"The Littlest Rebel" are free to con
tinue their journey.
William Farnum Is Lieut. CoL Mor
rison this year, end gives a splendid Per
formance, scoring especially In his sec
ond and third act scenes with Virgie.
That unusual child actress. "Boots"
Woorster. who will " be remembered as
the child in "A Fool There Was." has
succeeded little Miss Juliet Selby as Vlr
gle. and earns fresh laurels aa 'The
Littlest Rebel." Her naturalness Is re
freshing. David Landau plays Capt.
Herbert Cary with sympathy and dis
cernment. The balance of the cast offer
capable support.
THE ACADEMY.
"A Fool Ikerr Was."
"A Fool There Was," Robert Hllllard's
world-famous drama, suggested, as sll
theatergoers know, by Rudyard Klpllng'a
poem, "The Vampire," drew a capacity
audience at the New Academy last
night This marvelous play by Porter
Emerson Browne, as presented last nfght
a j an absolute duplicate of the one used
by Robert Milliard for four years.
Of soul-stlrrlng theme. Intense situa
tions and gripping story, with thrills and
tears, from the most nerve-racking ten
sion to a flippant discourse on modern
conditions of everyday life. It was a pres
entation nrst class in every respect by
an -exceptional company, marking It as
one of the strongest plays seen at this
playhouse for years.
The prominence of the drama haa made
the story too well known to require rep
etition, so suffice it to say that It Is
the weird story which Kipling's poem
tells, the cynical wisdom of a better
man of the world, the cry of a lost soul,
and the attitude of the world as It look
ed at the picture.
Much may be said of the excellent por
trayal by this exceptionally adequate
company. The cast la headed by Will
iam L. Gibson, a vlril and magnetic ac
tor, pleasantly remembered for his por
trayal of the "Virginian," In the play of
the aame name, and his Interpretation of
the role of the husband Is throughout
with power and dramatic forcefulness.
Miss Elsie Jane Wlrion. a young Aus
tralian actress, who Is making ber de
but in America, has the principal fem
inine character of "The Vampire."
miss Wilson demonstrated her Intimate
understanding of this difficult role and
meets the requirements with a fine dis
cretion and telling effect Miss Agnes
Mapea, as the wife. Is the ideal of do
mesticity and wifely devotion, produc
ing a picture of pathos and sympathy,
nlth the result that in a very short time
she had established herself in the best
fevtor of the audience. Rupert Julian
made a vivid Impression as the friend,
bis dialogue' being masterfully handled
with a resultant measure of appreciation.
The child. Agatha Frederic, la a lovable
little figure, adding bright spots to re
lieve the seriousness and depth of the
drama. Others in the company Include

THE CASUrO.
Apparently Indifferent to the warmth
of the Washington climate at this time,
eight big white polar bears performed a
series of feata at the Casino Theater yes
terday afternoon and evening to enthusi
astic applause that seemed to give the
genuine stamp of approval to Albers'
great polar bear act as It Is billed. Un
gainly, but docile, the animals showed
remarkable sagacity and even cleverness
to a degree that makes their act unusu
ally Interesting. Because of the strain
upon them, the management announced,
they will appear but once' In the after
noons, between the 'two regular perform

"You're going to see a good show to
night" said the box office man at Poll's
Theater yesterday to the ticket pur
chasers whom he happened to know, and
although Sylvester Z. Poll's class of
vaudeville waa all untried in Washing

the box office man proved a prophetic
one.
For from the photo play, which opened
the programme, through the seven acts
of real vaudeville to the series of moving

THE MAJESTIC.
There came back to Washington yes
terday an old time favorite, John
Grieves, and at the Majestic .Theater his
company of forty singers, dancers and
comedians, with' a large chorus, made a
most creditable showing In the musical
comedy. "Jimmle Valentlne'a Pals." fol
lowed by an. Interesting olio, and con
cluded with what be Is pleased to call
a mirthful absurdity styled "Rose, the

There Is no question but what the
bunch of choristers will prove a big
drawing card. ' The solo numbers were
