Work has been started on new the
alter in New York which is to be mon
ument to the art of Nine. Nazimova. 1t
is located on Thirty-ninth street, just
off Broadway, and will be known as
the Nazimova Art theater. 1t will be
under the direction of the Shuberts, max
ing the sixteenth theater in New York
under their management. Some objection
has been found to the selection of the
name given the new playhouse on ac
count of the difficulty people have in
pronouncing Nazimova. The famous
Russian actress, however, insists that
her name be used. Nine. Nazimova is
perhaps the most remarkable woman on
the American stage by reason of the
fact that she learned the English Ian
Guage il six months and at the end of
that time was able to give a perform
ance in English of 'Hedda Gabler." She
begins her season in October and will
open at the new playhouse in January.

Develop New Crop

STATE COLLEGE, Pullman, May 10.
Experiment station experts are en-
deavoring to develop crop that can be
grown on summer fallowed land, and
will realize a money profit the year it
is grown. Such crop will enable the
farmers of the wheat raising sections
to use their summerfalloWed land, in
place of permitting it to lie idle year,
as is the present practice. Corn is also
advocated by the station, but objec-
tions are being raised to it, due to the
fact that it cannot be harvested as
money crop" from summer alloW, as
is true in the corn states of the east
Many varieties of soy beans will be
tried out by the station this year in
order to ascertain their qualities for
a Summer-fallOW crop.

BY Madam Mann Payzant.

NEW YORK, May 13.-As long as
there are business women, the shirt
waist will remain a matter of import
ance It is the garment best suited to
her needs and, whether tailored or
fancy, fills place impossible for any
form of One-pieca gown to usurp.
This season the tailored waist has
come into its own after being rele-
gated to the background for some
time in favor of the lingerie blouse.
The plain vast always seems more
suitable for the work al day world, al
though it i rather trying to be forced
to wear severe styles when ones
heart longs for frilly, dainty clothes,
and it is generally women that have
never done a days work downtown in
dull offices who are first to criticise a
girl for wearing pretty garments to
business. The love of the beautiful can
never be stifled in wOmankind no mat
ter how much she may be tied down
to iron rules and regulations, and it
would indeed be a sorry dull old world
if it were not for the dainty feminine
quality.
The short sleeve is a boon to the
business woman, for it does not soil
easily, keeping the blouse fresh look
ing for a longer period than would a
full length sleeve. The three quarter
is the best model the elbowsleeve
that was pushed to the extreme by
girls in general being too short for
general wear
1t is rather difficult to find a new
model for the tailored waist, but one
may be developed in linen, madras or
percale. The buttons form an attrac-
tive note and may be of pearl or self
covered. The skirt may match the
blouse if linen is used, or form a con-
trast. The newest sleeves show more
fullness at the elbow or wrist, num-
Der being on the bishop order, popular
several seasons ago.
Though empire and directOire mod
els still prevail, some of the cotton
and thinner linen goods are made with
pleated skirts, quite high of course,
