several costumes well worth copying.
One Of her prettiest models is an after
noon gown Of white crepe de chine, put
in rib tucks all over. broad bands and
medaIIions of heavy linen lace. The
blouse is covered with groups Of these
tucks. and a small piece of shirred white
tuIIe and elbow sleeves of lace. The
ruche and muf are of white chiffon and
white roses
A cloak which she wears in another
scene is a very good model. It has great
pieces of embroidery with star orna-
meuts in front and across the sleeves
and three tiny capes of velvet as a col
lar.
She has also introduced a new way
for the debutante to wear her hair. This
is by putting four high roses over tbs
top of it. The younger set of girls are
quite enthusiastic over il. as it is be-
coming TO almost every face.

Charles Frohman made the following
observations:
This season celebrates Mr.. Drew's
tenth year as d star under my manage

nouncement is that ten years ago Mr..
Drew was playing in Washington in the
late Augustiu Days company. It was
here Mr.. Drew and / talked over the
matter of his becoming a star under my
management. and it vas here he began
his career in that direction, which has
proven q most prosperous and artistic
venture,
This arrangement also brought for

of the vast multitudes, and that would
help the public and teach it to appre-

don't believe such a theater would be a

The people who pay the high prices

such a national subsidized theater, but

to find that she was. still standing
in the path looking after him. She
doubtless meant to remain there I'M
til she was sure that he was on his
way out of the park. With sigh
he went on his way, until a turn of
the path hid her from sight.
Then he stopped for moment to
consider. Should he not be able to
return by a circuitous way to the
place where he was to wait for Grace?
What would she think if she arrived
there and found that he was gone?
Was it not worth Drawing even the
anger of Mrs. Ellison to try and see
her again? While he was consider
ing the matter an agonizing cry in
a woman's voice rang through the
woods. Had something happened to
Grace? Without moments hesita-
ton, he dashed back over the road
he had just traversed. 1t was only
a short distance before he almost
stumbled over the figure of a woman
on the ground. It was very=dark at
that point where she lay. He
stopped and picked her up, carrying
her into the light It was Mrs. FL
lison. Her eyes were closed, a
strange pallor on her face. He laid
her gently on the bank at the side
of the road. Had she tainted? 1T
was strange that he should be the
~first<one to come to the assistance of
"a woman. who had been abusing him
but few moments before. Had the
excitement of that short interview
so; worked on her nerves, that %she
had tainted? What was to be done?
1t was an embarrassing position for
him to be in: ! There. was nothing
that he could do to~help her, and yet
help was needed. Should he call for
assistance? There seemed to be moth
ing else to do; he could not leave
the poor woman there, even if she
had insulted him.
Then, as he leaned over her, hoping
to see some signs of returning con-
seriousness, a shuddering feeling, of
terror crept over him. There was
strange stain on the white silk waist,
a stain that, as he watched, seemed
to be spreading slowly slowly
Filled with horror at the sight, and
the consciousness that he was in the
presence of the victim of a tragedy,
he looked around him with frightened
eyes. Then he turned instinctively
to his hands-they felt warm and
strangely moist. With feeling. Of
overcoming faintness, he stopped
hastily and. began to hurriedly clean
them on the grass. It. seemed as if
it seemed as if the stains would
never come out. -
He was. rising, eager to be on his
way to the house$and warn the peo-
pie. of what had taken place. Then
he felt a strong. hand fgrasping his
shoulder. He remembered trying to
wrench himself. free. Then the con

Weak

one hundred people who have heart trouble
can remember when it was simple indiges-
ton. 1t is a scientific fact that all cases Of
heart disease, not organic, are not, only
traceable to, but are the direct result of indi-
gestion. All food taken into the stomach
which fails of perfect digestion ferments and
swells the stomach, putting it up against the
heart. This interferes with the action of
the heart, and in the course of time that
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.
