An attack on the new part of the settlement is expected from the Italian strikers in the old town, and a bloody light may be looked for.

All tlio shops now are soiling tho very ilniulies of flannels for making blouses, from tho pale pastel shades to the gay Roman striped effects. As the majority of those flannels wash, it is woll not to make the blonse too elaborate and allow for shrinkage. The nbovo design is good to follow in making a flannel blouse. Both back ami front arc box-plentod, with the pleats all but meeting, and stitched on the outside about a quart er of an inch from the edge. The tops of the slovos are pleated in the same way.

The Theatres, Frank Daniels in “The Office Boy.” Tlio lem ark able success of tlio clever comic opcia comedian, Frank Daniels in Charles li. Dillingham's production of the musical comedy “The Ollier Boy” at the Victoria Theatre, New’ York, is a direct contradiction of the stories of hard times in the theatrical business that have been so persistently circulated this season. Jt also furnishes an object lesson to those purveyors of amusement who, while de voting thought and money to their pro ductious, overlook the most essential cle ment of success, a good play. “The Odko lioy” is first ami foremost a splendid entertainment. . Though now in the second month of its metropolitan run the business which it is doing is just as big as it was the Hist week, w hick was practically the capacity of the Victoria Theatre. This is due to the f act that the audiences are amused from the moment the curtain rises until ic falls at the end j the ] e forirauco. There is no slacking of the actiou ami no dull moments due to a desire to display certain costumes or exploit a scenic setting. Manager Dil lingham shows in a practical way that in a practical way that ill his opinion the play is the thing, and while the stage set rings arc adequate and artistic and tu 308tomes tasty and pleasing to the eye, [lie entertainment itself is the vital thing ind nothing is allowed to interfere with it. T here was not a discordant note in the volume of praise that was showered upon “Thi Office Boy” when it was first presented in New York. One of the great iailies said: “The music and coined} nave the snap ami freshness of early No vember -- the kind that sives life new ',est, makes tlie clucks glow and quickens die step, It is like a renewal of youth”. Frank Daniels himself has never scored more strongly than he has in “Ths Office l>oy”. llis amusing personality is placed i n id the happiest surroundings, his l uu s infectious, his songs hit the right spot iiid laughter follows his every speech and iction. Frank Daniels and ‘‘The Office IIoy* jvill remain in New York until after the aolidays.
