MISS WINONA SHANNON.
From fainting In a witness box eight
times a week to managing a melon
farm seems a long jump, but this Is
exactly what Miss Winona -Shannon,
the "butterfly wife" of "A Butterfly on
the Wheel," which Is coming to the
Belasco Theater next week, does. In
the winter, while on the road, she Is the
central figure In the Intensely absorb
ing court-room scene, which has been
said to be even more dramatic and won
derful than the similar scene In "Mad
ame X." In the summer time she Is J
a farmeress, and her specialty is I
melons.
Probably If you have breakfasted at
some big New York hotel you have had
brought to you, resting upon a bed of
cracked Ice, a golden, juicy halt of
cantaloupe that grew upon Miss Shan
non's ' Long Island farm, for she has
contracts with several Gotham hotels to
furnish them with cantaloupes through
out the season, and, while the pecuniary
returns are not as large as those that
are to be found In the theatrical pro
fession. Miss Shannon says that her
cantaloupe farm pays In the rest.
recreation, and excellent health It brings
her.
Milt Shannon Glad
She Ii a Farmer.
"I am a farmer, and I don't care who
knows It," she declares In fact, she Is
rather proud that she can do something
besides wring tears from her audiences
by Impersonating the heroine of the
"Butterfly. I love my farm, too,"
she continues, "for there I can be my
self and as free as a bird, so to speak,
and exempt from all the temptations
as well as the tempers that toss Peggy,
the'herolne of the 'Butterfly-' "
Miss Shannon Is not a "lady' farmer
by any means. When she leaves the
theater at the end of a season and
takes up farm life, she does so In
earnest, not In a dlltettante fashion.
She wears the oldest and most dls
nputatle' shirtwaists she possesses, the
most'' awful skirts, and the broadest of
broad-brimmed hats.
She Hides her petite, pretty, and en
gaging face beneath this frightful piece
of headgear and marches about her
fields In stout heavy boots, giving or
ders constantly and quite frequently as
sisting In harvesting the melons her
self. She rises with the birds and
goes to sleep with the chickens. Once
In a while she permits herself the dis
sipation of motoring over to New York
and to have dinner at a Broadway cafe.

but "there Is no life like the farm,"
he enthusiastically declares.
Miss Shannon Is a sister of Effle
Shannon. Prior to her season In 'Tho
Butterfly," she -played Kit In "Seven
Days," and Mary In "A Servant In the
House." These two characters are
widely different from the present one,
which offers unusual emotional oppor

"torn out." Borne of these grapes are
very ripe, and It Is those that are used
for making the best grape butter.
There Is a constant demand for. real
olUe oil, but It Is as hard to get as
an thing I know. One Is just as apt
to pay a great deal, and then be dis
satisfied with the oil, as one Is to buy
It In the bulk, pay less, and get a bet
ter quality, Sometimes, however. If one
has tried a brand several times and
found It la adequate, one la apt to think
that It Is real olive oil. A drug store
at Fifteenth and F atreeta, sells qjl at
30 cents a pint, or 68 cents a quart. It
Is said to be the best grade Imported
Into this country from France, and Is
excellent for both external and Internal
use.
Parents have a habit of thinking that
It Is alwaysthe boys, from an econom
ical standpoint, who need heavy toots
and shoes. As a matter of fact from
tho standpoint of health. It Is much
more Important that girls be well shod,
and it Is too often the case that they
are sent out In thin shoes poorly pro
tected by rubbers. A shoe store at the
corner ot Seventh and K streets has a
heavy storm boot for girls which Is
warm and sensible without being too
heavy, made of gun-metal calf and
patent colt The price of these shoes
today Is $195. being the regular S2.U)
and S3 styles. , ,
Newest models ot women's stylish
tailored suits, valued at 119.75 and over,
are being sold at the Market Space
department store for 110. There are
many of these suits in both plain and
tailored models, made of the best of
cheviots, serges, diagonals, and mix
ture. In the colors black, navy, brown,
etc On account of the low price there
will be no alterations made, and it you
really wish to get .one, the cost of al
terations and a possible change to
make the suit individual should be con
sidered. There Is a certain brand of so-called
hole-proof stockings sold by this same
Market Space store, which Is really
what It claims to be. For ordinary
near, these stockings are good enough,
and In one style are only 2S cents,
the pair. They are to be had In black
or tan, and are guaranteed for months.
They are not heavy or thick looking.

Theater next week."
Although Miss Downing Is very
oung, beautiful, and unmarried, sho
has some very original Ideas concern
Ing the successful management of hus
bands ,
"Every man w ants a wife who Is nev

"The average husband, and wife settle
down Into a dull, colorless routine after
they have been married' a few yea'rs.
Frankly speaking, ihey lose Interest In
each other. A clever wife can, forestall
mis catastrophe by cleverly and judici
ously flirting with her husband.
"By this I do not mean that she shall
revive the kittenish airs of 'Sweet Six

sionally. Tell him what a good husband
he Is. Show htm plainly that you
cherish a sound and profound affection
for him. Make it even stronger than
In your courtship days. To love s so
much better than, to be In love the

little sapling planted In the earth.
"A man should flirt with his wife,
too," asserts this wise Uttle Individual,
who seems to have cornered all the
Information possible regarding the mat
rimonial question. "There are many
ways of doing this. For Instance, .he
might take his wife a box of chocolates

good toward restoring happiness than

BILLY PIG.AND THE
BILLY PIO'S mother had a hard
time getting blmiout of bed In
the morning, for, as jrou well
know, Billy Pig slept at any
time he had a chance, Bo mother pig
bought an alarm c'ock and set the
alarm for the hour she wanted Billy
Pig to get up. i
But she did not explain to Billy Pig
what would happen, she only told' him
that when It was time to get up the
clock would tell' him.
"I never heard of a dork, that could
talk," said Billy Pig; "and I guess she
cannot- fool me. I am too smart for
that"
So he went to bed to dream of the
nice breakfast ha was to have ot cakes
and syrup. The next morning when
the sun had been up some time Billy
Pig was still sleeping soundly, when
suddenly he was awakened by hearing
t dreadful "blz-z-z- buz-s-z bang bang."
Out of bed jumped Billy' Pig, and
without stopping to dress he ran tn his
pajamas down stairs and out Into the
ard without stopping.
His mother followed him to the door.
"What Is 'the matter with youT" she
asked, "what are you doing out there
in your night clothes?" "
Billy Pig stood trembling as he an
swered, "There Is a terrjble animal
In my room," he said, "and It rrowlsd
and would have eaten me, I am sure.
It I had stayed. I shouldn't wonder
If Black Wolf had come down from
the mountains to, carry up off. You
better come with me, mother, and
get out cf the way."
"I didn't see llack Wolf," replied
his mother, "and he would have had
to pass me to get to your room.
Come In here this minute, and we
will see what It Is." Billy Pig fol
lowed his mother upstairs, but he
was some distance behind her, until
he was satisfied that Black Wolf was
not in his room, then he .went In.
"It was the clock you heard," said
the mother. "It went off at o'clock.'
and It Is only a little past the hour.
I told you It would tell you when It
was time to ret up," she said, laugh-
iiik si umy ior Deing afraid of a
clock.
"Show me how you made It talk."
said Billy Pig. thinking of something;
wmen ne aia not tell to bis mother.
Billy Pig dressed and ate hla break
fast In silence, but every little whlld
ne wouia smile, and once he had to
cover his face, he was laughing so.
"I want you to finish weeding the
garden this morning," said his moth
er, "and don't you dare go asleep, the
way you did before, or you will go
tp bed without your upper."
uuiy rig promised he would work
faithfully, but first he went unstalrs.
and when he came down he carried
something' under his Jacket but hla
momer was busy washing dishes and
aia not notice him.
Away ran Billy Pig to the garden, and
wnen ne reached there he took the
alarm clock from under Ms jacket and
pui ii Denina a tree.
Billy worked with a will and cleared
nis garden of the weeds. Then he ran
across tne orchard and looked through
the stone wall.
He could see Billy Ooat In the middle
of the next lot "He will be going to
me uarn soon," saia uuiy rig to him
self, and then he laughed.
Billy Pig ran back to the garden and
put the clock under hla coat then he
put some nice big turnips In a basket
and went back to the wall where he
could see Billy Goat

"There," he said, as he put the last
turnip, on the heap, "If Billy Goat
comes back In half an hour ha will get
the fright of his life, and I will be even
with him for taking my meal out of
the bag and filling It with leaves and
sticks." And then he laughed.
Billy Pig had only just climbed over
the wall when Billy Ooat came back to
the field and walked slowly toward the
heap of turnips. He did not see them
at first and stopped a short distance
from tbem.
After a while he walked nearer and
soon he espied the vegetables' of which
he was so' fond.
He rah to them and began eating.
He had begun on the last turnip when,
"bui-z-z, buz-z-z, bux-z-r, bang, bangl"
went vt6e .clock. ,

maaing a noise, ana umy ooat ran as
faat as be could and stood at some dis
tance looking at the spot where the
noise came from,
Billy Pig, ot course, had been watch
ing, and he laughed and rolled over on
the grass, he was so pleased; but when
he had waited a minute he Jumped up
and looked through the wall, and he
stopped laughing.
Billy Goat was walking slowly toward
the heap of stones and grass. When he
reached It he stopped and looked at It
for a minute. Then ha put his head
down and butted It He Jumped back
and as nothing happened, he lowered his
head again and butted the h.eap once

he saw something shine, and he ran at
