The much-discussed Gaby is In town. Last night she appeared In the Belasco Theater with what Is left of the "Whirl of Society" Winter Gar den Show, before a sold-out house. People stood threo deep at the rear of the auditorium throughout the entire evening, and it Is natural to suppose that they did this for the privilege of seeing the "most-talked-of woman In tho world," as her advance agents have billed her. To stand up all through one even lngs entertainment to see a woman whose reputation has-been gained by notoriety It Is not my purpose to dis cuss, for I am not a censor of morals, merely a dramatic critic. To discuss the state of mind of the people who pay the price demanded by the man agement for the privilege of standing up la none of my affair, either. So we will let It go at the bare mention of these facts. People who expected that Gaby would be the whole show were disappointed last night. They caught threo generous glimpses of the blonde and pearl plas tered beauty as she appeared In threo songs and dances. The rest of the show was Fanny Brtce, and Ada Lewis, and Al. Jolton very much of the latter. Actress It Truly Handsome French Doll. Gaby Is all that her admirers have said she Is In the way of looks. You'd pick her out of a toyshop show case If you were looking for a handsome French doll with golden hair, wide-open blue eyes, and a plnk-and-whlte btsquo complexion, but I have sat In stage dressing rooms and seen Just such complexions put on hundreds of times, over skins as yellow and muddy as tho Missouri river In March. To the spectators In the seats Ave rows back It was apparent that her blue ees were very much beaded out and otherwise made up. Her hair well, hair Is never beyond suspicion, either behind or In front of the footlights. Qabv of the Lilies has two rows of even white teeth, a face that suggests that tho soul has not yet moved In, and a tall, graceful figure. Her smile Is peculiar. It extends far ther on one side of her face than It does on the other. She has all the little tricks of the Parlstenne, and one no tices in her stage costumes a certain chlo which seems missing In the clothes of most Americans She gets results from what few clothes she wears, does this little daughter of an Austrian blacksmith, and they are gorgeous and of a fashion that cannot be described, even by a woman who has spent 5 cars In describing clothes. They look as though the Parisian art ist who designed them had taken yards of the softest, most supple satin and wound It round and round Gaby, snip ping a slash here to display her dainty Seen in the Shops On ( street, between Eleventh and Twelfth, there Is a women's furnishing store where the best values In dress wutsts are to be had. Chiffon, char meuse, and new lingerie waists are less than IS 00 and aro made In the latest trtyles Charmeuse blouses, samples, made to sell for 7.00 and 13 00, are J.8, while some dainty lingerie waists are to be had at 11.00. This shop also han dles an excellent line of furs, which, while not as cheap as may be had else where, are of tho best materials, chosen with an eye for texture and color. A handsome red fox set Is JS5 00, and coats of Russian pony and Baltic seal are 1S 00, K5.O0, and HOP 00 Is your kitchen range equal to tho task of preparing an enormous Thanks giving dinner, not to mention the near approach of another holiday the cull nary demands of which arc even moro arduous? Between II and I streets on Seventh there is a housefurnlshlng store which has a most complete line of stoves, from huge ranges made with the latc.it Improvements to tiny oil heat ers for a bedroom. Some of the ranges are Indeed a delight to the ee. for, made of the best of materials and well finished, t requires very little trouble op the part of a maid to keep them clean and shining.

JACK A THANKSGIVING STORY. JACK was a little yellow dog. His little master, nobble Barnes, found him when he was a pupple In a lot where some bad boys were tormenting him. These bad bo)s had poor little Jack In a box too deep for him to Jump oJt of, and wcro throwing sticks and stones at the little fellow to make him bark. He was vory much frightened when J Robbie rescued him, and ho nestled closo Insldo Bobblo's coat and heard , him say to tne boys, "you tellers ought to bo ashamed of yourselves plaguing a little pupple, I wish ho was big enough to bite you." Now Robbie's mother was very poor, and his father was dead, so that when Jack was brought Into the family Rob bie's mother saw only one more to feed. "You will have to glvo him away," sho said, "we do not have enough for ourselves, and then you will have to pay the license, too; you cannot keep him." But Robbie overcame all obstacles, ho worked and paid tho license; and he asked the neighbors for all their scraps, und In tlmo ever) one was bo fond of Jack that he seemed like one of the One ila. not long before Thanksgiv ing, Robbie's mother Bold: "Wo will have to do without turkey this year; there has been so many ways for the money to go that wo shall be lucky to have a roof over our heads and a flro In the atove." Even the money Robblo earned had to go for shoes for himself and his little sister, so there was to be no Thanks giving dinner. Robblo did not care for himself, but when he saw the tears In his slater's ejes and In the still night heard his mother crying as she prayed that her tittle family should bo cared for, he felt euro It was going without the Thanks giving dinner that mode her cry. Robblo thought and thought, but there was no way he could think of what would get the dinner. Yes. there was one; It made him feel sick to think about It. In tho room at school with Robbie was a boy named Trank Reed. Frank's father was u wealthy man and Frank had everything that he wanted. All but one thing, nnd that was Jack. Jack could do ull sorts of tricks, and his devotion to Robbie and his willing ness to obev him made all the boys en vious. Of course. Frank could have had la dog worth much more than Jack, but ho wanted Jack because he could do tricks. "I'll give you Jj for him." Frank said one day after he had watched Jack per form his tricks Five dollars seemed a fortune to Rob. I ble. but he did not hesitate "No," ho said, "I won't sell him, no matter how much you offer." "I don't blame you." replied Frank, "but If ever ou do want to sell him let me have him " Ah Robbie lay there In the dark thinking of a way to get the Thanksgiv ing dinner he remembered Frank's of fer. He put It out of his mind, but It would come back, and by morning he had made up his mind to part with Jack All traces of tears which ho had shea wcro wlptd awav and he gave Jack a good breakfast and had him do all his tricks. Jack seemed to know some thing bothered his little master, and af ter each trick would Jump up and lick his face, and put his paws on Robbie's shoulder, as though to tell him how much he loved him. Robbie choked back tho tears and put on his cap. "Come on. Jack," he called. Frank was only too glad to glvo the 15, but Jack whined and cried when he found that he was not to go with Rob bie. "Keep him in for a day or two," he told Frank, 'he will run away If you don't " Poor Robbie, he ran as fast as he could to get out of reach of Jack's cries, and his ees were wet when he reached the market. "Where did ou get this turkey and vegetables?" asked his mother when she saw tho basket Robblo brought home 994d:9)3)93 Here's Good News for YOU, Mrs. Housewife! &ramEBUTTER,35clb.

"1 sold Jack to Krank Heed." said Robbie turning away; "he wanted him and he can glvo Jack n better home than we can, so I let him have him " "You sold Jack?" she asked. "You go and get him this minute and take this dinner back. "I can't do that," said Robbie, "the market man would not take It back, and then I wouldn't ask Frank to take back the money, cither. I sold Jack and that Is all thero is to It.' Thanksgiving Day. when the steam ing turkey and fixings were put on tho table, Robbie's sister and mother were the ones who seemed to enjoy it. Rob bie did not; every piece of turkey seemed to choke him; he could only think of Jack, and that he was the only one who really provided the dinner. "Some one la at the door," said Rob bie's mother, "I heard It rattle." Robbie opened It and In bounded Jack. He barked and Jumped up to Robbie as though to say. "I got here In time for Thanksgiving dinner, didn't I?" The dinner was forgotten, nnd Rob bie's sister nnd mother gathered around Jack, as pleased as he was to see them. When they sat down at the table again Jack was In his accustomed place beside Robbie's chair, and from time to time ho ate of the dinner which he unconsciously had provided. When the dinner was over Robbie took his cap and called to Jack, but Jack seemed to know what was to happen, and he crawled under the stove and refused to move. Poor Robbie could not keep the tears back this time, but he took Jack in his arms nnd started for Frank's. Robbie's tears fell fast on Jack's lit tle head as he walked along, for Jack kept his face close to his little mas ter's, as though to plead with him not to leave him. "Here's Jack," said Robbie as Frank opened the door In answer to his ring. "I thought ho would go to ou," said Frank. "He ran out this morning when the maid wasn't looking. But It Is no use. Rob; he won't do a thing for me, and he won't eat, cither. Tather says tin ..111 .lln l T l.nn V.I-.. ba T n. ...... . .. I nv nut utu I, ncvi ii.iii, w (,ucna JUU better take him back."

Not that I want ed It," he hastened to explain, "but mother seemed to feel so bad because she was not ublc to get It that I did It for her." Robbie's face was very red as ho fin ished his confession and he looked away from Frank. Dut Frank put his hand on Robblo's shoulder. "You're a brick, Rob " he said.
