Now this means a good deal In these days of a revived Interest In men's apparel.

It Is to be supposed, too, that the matinee ''Idols also are dressed according to the decrees of the latest mode. For this reason alone It would seem that the study of the clothes worn by the men in the contemporary drama cannot fall to exert some influence on the shopiier.

The play was called Hearts of 8teel,' and the star was George Clarke, with whom I was afterward associated at Daly's theater. The hearts of steel In the play were a band of Irish patriots who devoted most of their waking hours to manufacturing 'mountain dew,' prowling around the glens of Connemara and holding midnight meetings denouncing the Saxon who had usuriied their lands and ground them under the heel of tyranny. The hearts of steel' went about all through the five acts of the play clad in splendid suits of steel mall, while their wlvea and children were supposed to be starving at home In abject poverty. "As luck would have It, I was cast for the villain of the piece, an English landowner and an oppressor of the poor. All through the play I was evict Ing the starving jieasantry and turning a deaf ear to the appeals for help from the widow and the orphan.' But in the last act I got my Just deserts. I was shot down from behind a hedge by an evicted tenant. Then on rushed a sergeant of the constabulary, who examined my body and found that the bullet directed at my heart had bees stopped by a pocket book I was sup posed to iarry In my breast pocket. 'Ah!' cries the sergeant, the bullet has entered here. This pocket book has saved his life. When the sergeant approached me on the opening night and felt for the locketbook he could not And It. Good heavens, Skinner, he whispered excitedly, you've forgotten the book.' '"No.' 1 whispered back. It Is In my tall picket. The sergeant rolled me over, and searching in that region, exclaimed: 'Ah, the bullet haa entered here. This pocket book has saved his life.' Not another word of the rest of the play could lie heard. I was so convulsed with laughter that I rolled in siwauts on the stage. But good humor never spoiled anything." . Eureka Furniture Co., NEW AND l: No Longer a Flower. . SECOND-HAND- STOVES, 135 W. .
