Miss Madelin Frain Often Has Hard Time Keeping
Face Straight While Doing Turn" in
"The Merry-Go-Round."

Audiences at the National Theater this
week were more than ordinarily inter
ested in A girl with a very good voice,
who sang the refrain Of Il Wont Be
Home 10 Dinner from one Of the up
per boxes. The singer is Madelin Ruth
Frain. and her experiences in perform
ing the little bit which falls to her lot
are almost equal to those Of many more
prominent players.
Each night this week. Miss Frain has
made her way through the lower part
Of the house wearing a long cloak and
hat. A few minutes later, she has ap-
peared at the front of an upper box
and has taken up the refrain to the
catchy song.
The greatest difficulties Miss FTain has
had TO contend with since she began her
enga agement with ''The AIerry-Go-
Round" have been in warding off the
attentions Of the young men who are
sometimes occupants Of the box Usu-
ally, they are imbued with the spirit Of
fun, which their joint use Of the box
with Miss Frain enEenders and they

make most Of their opportunities. They
usually do everything they can 20
break her up" and devise all sorts
Of ways TO make her laugh while she
is singing.
Recently two young men VINO were IN
the box occupied by Miss Frain lost no
time in getting what fun they could
out Of the incident They planted them
selves on the floor at her feet, out OF
sight OF the audience, and gazed soul
fully Up into her face while she sang.
Neither Of the young men smiled, but
both OF their faces were looks pf adoTa-
ton assumed, apparently. for the pur-
pose, Of learning whether the singer had
a real sense OF humOr. She had. and
they managed 10 find IL quickly with the
result that Miss Faiu was unable 10
finish the song. Many other little tricks
are tried on Miss Fain. At a matinee
recently a mischievoUs girl, who was
one OF q party In the box, got down on
the floor and slowly united Miss Frain' S
shoes while she was singing.
Miss FTain IS preparing to write a
magazine story on these and other ex-
periences in which her unusual act has
resulted.

SHY ANEMONE
FOR NEW HATS
Paris Women Wear the Flow
erS Around Crown, With
Green Leaves Placed
Between.

The latest flower that blows for
hats is the shy anemone. It has been
accepted in Paris and put on some OF
the new hats. A wreath OF them is
arranged around the crown with a few
green leaves or frnls of lace placed
between.
The fashion Of putting lace instead
of net between flowers has grown in
favor At the top Of the crown band.
which is Of a faint color in satin rib
bon, Is wide ruching OF lace. which
stands straight up about two inches
above the top Of the crown.
We have had this with us an sum-
mer. but it is interesting 10 know that
II is retained on some Of the autumn
hats.
Stiu another .methou OF arranging
these flowers is 10 put three or five OF
them at the side of one OF the new
scoop hats. which promises 10 be the
rival Of the very wide sailor.
This has little other trimming on IL
except a folded crown band, which is
sometimes finished in a fiat bow at the
side opposite the flowers
Immense as the new hats are II must
be confessed that the Tytmrning is
extra simple and very artistic.

SILK PETTICOATS
CAN BE FRESHENED

SILK pettlCoats. though common. are
still luxury with most Of US. In order
TO preserve their freshness. sew hoops

your closet upside down Hanging
them in the opposite direction in which
they are worn freshens and makes them
stand out when worn, giving them. like
all things else subject 20 change, "a

This method may also be adopted with
reference to other sOlored pettiCoats
which have a tendency to look limp af-

then look through the holes in turn,
while those on the opposite side try 20

sounds tame. but the difficulty Of rec

Another game that may please the
