The idea being that & woman needed no special good breeding or taste to be able to wear a fine dress, an expensive hat or rare jewelry, but that if she lacked LISLE WITH LACY, OPENWORK DESIGN. taste and breeding she was apt to be careless about the small accessories. Only the other day an observing young friend of mine made a similar comment apropos of the present day. She said that the great difference be- MOVIES AND BY MOLLIE HOLLYWOOD, Calif., April 23.—The gold rush spirit which created Holly- ‘wood has fallen upon Gelatinland again, but with a difference. Before fabuloas fortunes mushroomed overnight in hands accustomed to count out pennies gentlemen ran nickelodeons and stood taking tickets at the door until aching arches warned them it was closing time. A few months later those same gen- ties had ideas of courtesy and efficiency for the doormen they hired, and a few years after that a queue of secretaries kept an army of ambitious people from getting into the sacred presence of the erstwhile ticket taker. Those were the gold-rush days of the wvillage. Fortunes are not moving quite so fast these days. The actor and actress who can talk successfully can amass an in- credible income in a year’s time if he or she is willing to work. As a consequence there is an army of players who go from one studio to an- other, playing in one picture in the afternoon and in another at night. carrying the combined emotionalism and psychology of two roles, snatching sleep when and where they can, often in their limousines as they hurry from one set to another, or on the set be- tween sequences. It is a new rush for gold—not so picturesque or so hearty as the first Taw days of the town’s making. Lawrence Leslie arrives from New York with a guild company booked at 2 Los Angeles theater. At the close of the third act there is a studio car wait- ing to rush him from the theater to the Jot where he begins his first talkie en- gagement. In this case the director shoots at night, as that is his turn -t the sound stages. No lot has as many of these stages|' as is wished. Shooting is scheduled for so many hours of the day and night.

Old-time movie players—the word “old-time” is used here not in regard to actual time but in point of technique— are still unaware of the calamity which threatens their ranks. ‘They go serenely on. Now and then one looking for an engagement hears of something like the above ‘story and ‘wonders. But egotism is victor. There is a delightful they-can’t-do-without-me feeling in his heart. It is the stimulant which bears him up. Prankishness is a thing of the past in the present gelatin routine. There is little time for the zort of tricks for which Lew Cody was famous in the days when he was the slickest bad man in movies.

And nowadays there are many acces- ‘women and in taste and sories to consider. Stockings must be chosen to harmonize perfectly and in- conspicuously with the dress: Shoes must. be precisely appropriate to the occasion and the ensemble. The hag must be smart but still subordinate to dress or wrap. The handkerchief must be of excellent quality—chosen with as great care as the other details of the en- semble and the gloves must be beyond reproach—chosen with a sure senss of fitness to harmoniz: with the neutral tones of the ensemble and not picked u): at random and worn regardless of the ensemble, Scarf and handkerchief ssts are chosen for evening wear by many wom- en of good taste. The handkerchiefs are very large squares of chiffon which are still considered smart when worn with corner slipped through a finger rin, or tied around the wrist. The scar: may be tied around the neck in a diag- onal folding, or it may be tied at one corner with the rest of the square float- ing freely. ‘This week's Help for the Home Dress- er consists of a simple diagram pat- terfsfor a little girl’s frock—suitable for any cotton material, crepe de chine or other wash silk.

Chop very fine one pound of freshly shelled shrimps, add half a chopped onion and a small piece of fresh ginger chopped very fine. Remove from the chopper into a large bowl, add the whites of three eggs, half a teaspoonful of salt and a pinch of pepper. Then beat the ingredients until stiff. Now spread the mixture upon thinly sliced white bread. Cut into strips about an inch wide and four inches long. Sprinkle browned bread crumbs lmon the shrimp strips.

April 23, 1861.—Slowly, as the in- tense excitement that has pervaded the public mind during the last few days is subsiding, it is becoming apparent that the Federal Government, for the pres- ent at least, has no other purpose in en- ergetically collecting troops in and around Washington than to employ them to guarantee the Pederal Capital to the Government of the United States by according it amr ple protection against the possibility of capture either by an extemporized * 4 of unauthorized parties or a.: assault under orders of those persons who represent the gov- ernment of the South. President Lincoln has frankly given Mayor Brown of Baltimore an explana- tion of the movement of troops through | that city to Washington. The protection of Washington, ex- plained the President, is the sole ob- Ject of concentrating troops here. The President protested that none of the troops brought through Maryland were intended for any purpose hostile to that State or aggressive action against the Southerri States. He made it clear that since it is impossible to Lring troops to Washington from the Northern States with impunity by water—up Chesa- peake Bay and the Potomac River— owing to Southern interference, the Government must cither bring them through Maryland or abandon the THE parts of the floor that your visitors see_first —in_hallways, around tables, in front of the radio or piano — are the places that get the hardest wear.

Doubles. ‘There are two kinds of doubles, in- formatory and business, as well as the information and business pass, which I will explain later. ‘The doubles, so-called business and informatory, are just what their names imply. The business double is made to obtain a double penalty. This dou- ble can seldom be used to an advan- tage iff the early stages of bidding, as it is made with the expectation of de- feating the adversary ard the business doubler desires his The informatory dout conventional and are maa. pose of conveying inform. martner. The partner is “Wi4 the sult named, strong that b~ e the v - Y Apec thereby < a large ) " alty. As informaiory and b iness doubles are made with entirely different expec- tations, it is very necessary for all play- ers to know what is meant by each double, and the way to distinguish be- tween the two doubles is, first, the size of the bid that has been doubled; second, whether suit bid or no trump, and, third, whether doubler'’s partner has bid or doubled. An easy way for the beginner to re- member about ths doubles is this: Any double of a one, two or three bid of & suit after your partner has bid or doubled is business. Any double of a one, two or three bid of a suit, if part- ner has not declared, is informatory. The partner, as you will see, is affected by every bid or double you make. The double of one no trump, if part- ner has bid or doubled, is business, and the double of a two no trump bid, regardless of whether partner has bid or not, is always considered business, as well as the double of a four or five bid of any suit. Don’t forget that a double to be considered informatory must be made at the first opportunity, and that while a bid or double by his partner makes any double business, if doubler has previously bid or doubled, he still may make an informatory double because of the fact that an informatory double_ is made with the expectation that partner will name his best suit in answer to it. The double of & one no trump when partner has not declared means that doubler holds a hand containing greater strength than required for an initial no trump bid, and this is what he tells his partner when he doubles one no trump informatorily. He asks his er to bid two no trump if his hand warrants it; if not, two of his best suit. The hope in the double of a one no trump is that doubler and his partner between | them may be able to make game with | some suit the trump. ‘The minimum strength which fusii- | fies a double of a one no trump is five high cards, and by high cards is meant aces, kings and queens distributed over | three suits. Don’t double a one no trump unless strong in both major suits, because doubler is asking. r< stated before, for a two no trump bid if, partner’s hand is very strong; if not. “» wants his partner to bid either| -ajor suit of which he holds four card-. | ‘The ability of your partrer has o be ' “onsidered when you double, and unless | "7 *u be relie on to answer yonr| orreetly auf vlay the two hands | propet., . double of x1ything with less | than the .~ ‘=2 requirement is inad- | visable.
