FEATURES. SEEN IN THE WAS BY ELENORE T one of the local theaters this week there is a quaint sketch, the scene of which is laid in New York ecity during the latter half of the last century. The two old-fashioned ladies who have the principal roles flutter on the stage dressed in amazing bouffant, beruffled creations of crisp taffeta, and the audience fairly gasps for breath, and then wonders, half-au- dibly, how they ever managed to get around in those days. -And yet only a few blocks away one of the smart- est shops in Washington displays a collection of sowns almost identical ) GOWN STA, WITH GANDIE COLLAR AND CUFFS.

Wide flounces of black crepe lengthen the sleeves to the wrists. and give an exceptionally attractive sleeve effect. Long narrow strips of henna silk. outlined with black and gold stitching, run along the seams of these flounces to add the finishing touches to the wrap. A stunning cape for summer wear is of black crepe de chine, with an 0dd collar of black and white monkey Long accordion-pleated panels jappear at each side of the wrap, starting at the shoulders and extend- ing a trifie below the hemline. A {girdle of linked black medallions [filigreed in silver is attached at either side of the unpleated panel in the back to hold the side-panels and jfront.of the wrap in graceful draped olds. | The chic chapeau pictured is of beige felt in a close-fitting helmet | shape. The narrow brim, which just !succeeds in shading the ey summer sunlight, is covered with crepe de chine In the same soft neu- tral color as the felt. Narrow moire ribbons, also in beige, radiate fanlike over one side of the crown, while ribbon loops drip in profusion over the edge of the brim. ashion3 orecdst ] THE EVE | LittleBonny’s The Park Ave. Weather.

SOURCE—A place name. This is a family name which repre- sents one of those curious Interna- tional combinations which have been brought about in surnames in just the same fashion and for just the same reasons that place names virtually al- ways have developed into family names only in other places. The place from which the name was taken and the place in ch it developed as surname were ost as, likely to be ot. 5 In th Burgoyne. < name, for it was in F t the form was developed. was developed from the name of Bur gundy, a place which is not in Eng- land at all Through the operation of the same ural tendencies there developed in Holland during the period of family- name formation a name based on tha: of the city of Doesen in the neighbor- ing country of Ilower Saxony. The an,” in the speech of the Dutch, was equivalent to the Norman and French “de.” the modern English “of” anl the German “von,” and the Dutch spelling of Doesen was “Dousen.” In the importation of the name into this country in more modern times. however, the spelling, for the most part. has been still further simplified by the elimination of the “o,” leaving the name as “Van Dusen COLOR CUT-OUT the me of ngland The “Poor Kiddie Aunt Ada came for Betty next morning. They walked many blocks across the city to a section Betty had never before seen. How small and dingy the houses seemed! How dirty the streets! “Aunt Ada,” inquired Betty, this where the ‘poor kiddies' live? “Yes, ex'plained Aunt Ada, ‘herc's where they live and here's where T work. You see, I'm a visiting nurse.” They went up some Tickety stairs and A big, sad eyes came “Good morning,” smiling. “How's little girl with to meet them. Aunt Ada_greeted, the baby brother?” “He's better,” the girl answered Aunt Ada introduced her to and the two girls talked, while there is only one lamp on the table, only one person can read comfortably on that couch. 7 Wherefore, two lamps! They should be exactly alike and stand at just the same distance from the ends of the table, so that two persons can each get the full benefit of the lamp nearest them. If possible, the lamp bases should either be alike or very milar in size and coloring. There jare all sorts of beautiful lamps to be kad today. in the shops. Choose sim- ple bases of pottery, brass or copper, and select shades of mellow Japanese vellum or siik-covered frames that you can make yourself. The vellum Seems rather better for two lamps that are to be alike in effect. Two large colored silk shades are a little overpowering. Don't be content with these two reading lamps, either. On a small stand or table at another side of the room place a lamp which may be en- tirely different from the other two, provided it harmonizes with the room. Or it may be a floor lamp, standing near a large, comfortable chalr, where a third member of the family party may read without disturbing the two occupants of the divan. It the room is very long and spacious, as many living rooms are nowadays, still a fourth lamp will not be too much. These oases of friendly light give such a room a welcoming look that nothing else affords. Menu for a Day. BREAKFAST.

Beulah Livingstone, who is the publicity representative for Norma and Constance Talmadge and their brother-in-law, Buster Keaton, took the film of “Within the Law,” which S s latest release, “up the " to show to the prisoners. Along with the film she also took some twenty newspaper men and women. Miss Cecil Arden, the opera singer; Lew Cody, who is also in “Within the Law.” and my humble self. After this, when I speak of fans, I shall always include in my mind those boys in Sing Simg. It was really an amazing experience in_more wWays than one. From the fan point of view and in the interest of the movies it showed me what a tremendous lot they can do, and do do, for our less fortunate brothers. Every night in the week there is a movie show in Sing Sing prison. 1 went to Every night in the week most of the gray-clad men within the steel-gray walls sit in silent ranks and watch the shadows they love live upon the screen. One of them told me that of course they love the movies, because they are their only actual contact with the world outside. 7 After I watched them watching “Within the Law,” after I heard them applaud again and again, gratefully, enthusiastically, the message Miss Talmadge had Sent to them to ac- company her picture, via Miss Living- stone, I didn’t need to be told that they love the screen. There wasn't one bit of humor in that picture that they missed. There wasn't one bit of drama or pathos that they didn't “get” and respond to by a silence so deep and complimentary that it would put an ordinary fan audience to shame. And when Mr. Cody came out to speak to them, stepping in the flesh from the film they had watched, as it were, their applause echoed and re-echoed against the grim, gray walls. f Before the picture was run our party had dinner in the prison din- ing room—coffes and sandwiches and cake—served us by the men them- selves, and as we ate we talked with some of them, and I asked one of them who his favorites were on the screen. “Bert Lytell is one of them,” he L WRITTEN AND 1ILLUSTRATED BY Should Mrs. Hal Woods go to the emporium and look for a job or brush up on her typewriting and try and find a place in an office?
