A pathered peplum iz featured on this handsome blouse of taffeta and chiffon cloth. It is an ideal model for the woman who is making over last secason’s clothes. An attractive way to make a sep- srate blouse is pictured here, and the most interesting thing about the model is the suggestion it offers for using make-overs. A bit of satin or taffeta that has seen former ser- vice, may be used to splendid ad- vantage with <ome crepe de chine or BGeorgette. Perhaps the two mate- rials may be a combination of gar- ments of other seasons. The waist has a gathered peplum which is at- tached to a sleeveless outer walst with deep armholes and large collar.

He is particularly welcome in his latest production, “The Heart of A Lion,” which commenced its three days' run at Fox's theater yesterday. It is a pleasure to see Rig Bill go after ‘em in his own inimitable way. When he pulls off his coat and rolls up the sleeves of his blue shirt, one can rest assured that there’s going to be action on the screen and plenty of it. That is what makes “The Heart of a Lion” one of the finest pieces of work Mr. Farnum has ever done Credit for good work in this per- formance should go, too, to Mary Mar- tin, Wanda Petit, Walter Law and William Courtleigh, Jr. Two women who combine beauty with acting ability in such rare fashion as Miss Martin and Miss Petit to find. vivacity would be hard One never tires of seeing the of the little blonde, or the majestic seriousness of Miss Martin. Mr. Farnum plays the role of Bar- ney Kemper, who discovers that his brother scoundrel only after ha has found his own sweetheart in Dick’s arms. He takes refuge from tion among the fore and does his best to forget everyone—his brother, his sweetheart, cven his God mong the lumbermen Dick, however, has been awakened to his true seif by his brothe anger. He makes up his mind to study for the ministry. And when he is ordained, his vouthful enthusiasm gains for him the place of clergyman in the same camp where Barney now lives Barney discovers Dick's presence, but keeps himself closely hidden.

Apartments Cut to Your Measure. Then again, so much greater facilities now: 3 for going to housekeeping on a tiny scale. There are apartments cut to fit the tiniest families, where in the old days there were only houses and most of them white elephants of unneeded rooms. Perhaps T am mixing cause and ef- fect. Perhaps that very unwilling. ness to pool their housekeeping with the older folks has been one of the seeds from which apartments in as- sorted sizes have sprung Nevertheless, T think the effect has turned about and become in its turn the cause for still more restlessness. When such cosy, appropriate little nests stand ready to be occupied, how much harder to be content with a corner of someone else's old-fashioned, perhaps a little bit shabby nest? “No Roof Big Enough for Two Families I suspect the independence and in- tense individuality qualities which Barney thought he had lost. There's no need to Farnum any farther than to tell of the picture. Anvone at all praise William story familiar with his magnificent screen | portrayals will be able to see in an instant how aptly and absorbingly he would act such a story. “The Heart of a Lion" is from Ralph Connor's novel, Doctor.” “The This week ushers into Keeney's one of the best arranged bills seen here in some time.

And very true it is. Such an arrangement is always a compromise, and a com- promise to which, to make it effec- tive, one must bring infinite tact and forbearance and willingness to live and let live. However, I do think there are times when the comprom- ise should be made for a time at least. But there is one point on which I stand firm (and I don't think it's because I'm a woman either. It's be- cause of the essential justice of it.) I think it should be her parents rather than his with whom the young people live. Women Are the Natural Shock Absorbers. | In such arrangements women folks have the harder position because somehow they are always the smooth- ers over—the shock absorbers. Besides, the man goes away to his business for the day. The woman's business is right there in the home. She has to carry it along in partner- ship with the other woman and it is far easier for her if that woman is her own mother. Of course there are cases when the wife must live with her mother-in- lJaw (or better the mother-in-law with the wife.)
