WOMAN is AUTHOR, ACTRESS
AND LESSEE OF THEATER

Suppose that your youngest daughter,
barely 20 years old, and with the ap-
pearance of a girl of IS, should come
home tonight and tell you she had
leased a downtown theater for two
days to present play she had written.
Suppose she should add that she would
take care of all the expenses, assemble
the company, rehearse the play, hire an
orchestra, be her own stage manager,
property man and lady of the ward
robe, "angel" and treasurer. Could you
believe your own ears? And If. when
you looked at the person who was pro-
posing this, you saw a girl exactly fve
feet tall and weighing almost to the
ounce 100 pounds, wouldn't your first
impulse be to rush to telephone to call
a doctor?
But that was not what the parents OF
Lillian Mae Schneider in Kansas City
did when their daughter, answering to
the description just given, calmly an
nounced at the dinner table last month
that she had leased the National thea
ter that afternoon to produce her orig
inal four-act western drama of "Ez-
mer" They were a bit stunned, but
hardly surprised, says Alfred Henry
Lewis Human Life. For all of her life,
though girlish enough in many re-
spects, Lillian Mae invariably has as
sumed a superior air whenever any,
thing concerning a theater was mem
toned.
She made the money to take elocution
lessons by acting juvenile parts; then
by teaching elocution earned enough to
take more lessons and finally to rent
her own theater. In the field of dra-
matics she has a. self-confidence that
would jar the pose of Mansfield That
comes, perhaps, from having to be her
own advance man and press agent, as
well as promoter and manager, and all
the other occupations on her list. SO
when Miss Schreiber'S family heard
that Lillian Mae had leased the Ma
tional theater they were thankful it
was a small building-and that she
hadn't leased Kansas City's big conven-
tion hall. They sighed and wished her
success.
What happened?
Well, the first night of the play was
a success, both financially and from the
standpoint of the newspaper dramatic
critics. And the second performance,
for a wonder. was better than the first.
Miss Schneider promptly leased the the
ater for three more days-Thursday,
Friday and Saturday-and Saturday
night appeared herself before the
largest crowd of the week, as star in =
curtain raiser, "Rose OMAR" which
last year won first prize in skit writ
ing contest, held by the Orpheum
vaudeville circuit.
And the following month she did the
one thing that remained to do-leased
the theater again, and still filling in
all the places she did in producing"
''Ezmer,' was in addition the soubrette
and star of another original drama
called 1.-THE Right Way"
"Soubrette leads are as good to get
next to the people, Miss Schneider
avows, "as are the straight legitimate.
I'm small-but look atN Billie Burke and
Maude Adams"
All of which goes to prove that eour-
age counts more than stature, and abil-
ity more than either. If Miss Schneider
continues to demonstrate managerial
talent with dramatic ability her future
is assured.

this class of rug. the variety being es-
pecially peculiar in it's remarkable
symmetry and unity of design.

PINK SHADES GIVE
BECOMING LIGHT

The most becoming artificial light is
pink, next to that yellow, and pale
shade of green. In selecting the latter
the greatest care Is necessary, for IL
the shade is dark it will give seasick
effect to the complexion. The same Is
true of light blue, a pale shade being
excellent, but this must be just off
white, otherwise persons will look
CHASTITY.
Unshaded electric light is the most
trying both for the complexion and the
eyes. There is, in truth no excuse for
having it, as decorative and useful
shades may be bought or made, and
can be applied without trouble. Fash
ioning these at home is charming oc-
cupation, and girl can spend pleas
ant evening doing it, especially if she
invites couple of girl friends to help
her.
Quite as good effects are secured by
using tissue paper as from silk, and to
some persons the former has greater
virtue, because 1t can be thrown away
as soon as it is soiled, whereas the
cleansing of silk is difficult and eX-
pensVe. The fact that all pale shades
soil is an objection, but when the COW
ers may be thrown away without eX-
travagance this drawback is removed.
Making Lamp Shades
If a girl has fad for a special tone
that is too dark, according to the the
ory of lighting, she may still use IL
and relieve the situation by backing
it with white, in either tissue paper or
silk. BY backing is meant the first
cover to the shade.
Lamps are the ideal lighting, both for
becomingness and use. when the eyes
are to be protected. For showing off a
room they lack brilliancy, and it is
then that electricity must come into
play. The average home living room,
however, does not require brilliant
light
Many Kinds
To the variety of charming lamp
shades there seems no end. The new
est are those made from wood, un-
painted, only the skeleton being built.
The spaces between are filled with
silk, paper, cloth or what one chooses,
the ribs making a panel effect. The
wooden frame is painted in self tone to
correspond and in this way the lamp
and shade harmonic. Shades are still
made from black, lacquered frames.

NEW DEVICE FOR
SPRAYING SCALP

People who have used hair and scalp
tonics to any extent and experienced
the difficulty in saturating the hair
without saturating the clothing and
carpet as well will appreciate the scalp
sprayer designed by a New York man.
This device works on the principle of
an automizer 1t consists of a base to
which a ring is attached. In this ring
is set a compressible rubber bulb and
leading from the bulb is tube, the
end of which is adapted to fit the con-
tour of the head and which is equipped
with perforations. :.
BY placing this tube in the hair and
pressing the bulb, the tonic or perfume.
or whatever the contents may be, Is
sprayed through the hair and over the
scalp in such a way as to reach every
point. Nor is there the muss attached
to the old method of shaking an M
verted bottle over the head. hitting the
mark occasionally and decorating the
wallpaper at other times. Also, there
is saving in tonic and the job is more
complete.

THE YOUNG GIRL AND
HER DOVER CHEST

To own a dover chest has become
the ambition of the. modern young
woman, whether she is engaged or not
There rs a revival of the good old GUS
tom of getting girls linen and lin
gerie leisurely, and if the girl never
takes to herself husband she hnds
the well-stocked chest a source of COM
fort.
Many of these chests are nothing
more than store boxes provided with
hinges and a tray and covered with
burlap or cretonne. If possible, how
ever the girl secures more substan-
tial chest that will be an ornament to
the new home when its trousseau mis-
sion is past.
Often the dover chest is of mahog-
any or Flemish oak, hndsomely carved
and marked with the full name of the
BRIDE to- be on a silver or gold plate.
Sometimes the monogram is elaborate
ly carved on the lid of the chest, often
in a scroll or wreath of exquisite work
manShip.
While these chests can be bought
the average girl prefers to have hers
made to order-if she can afford it..
There lies the rub. A good looking
dover chest is so costly as to be prac-
tically prehibitive unless money is
easy.
The mother of one young woman
solved the cost problem in way that
may prove suggestive to others. Her
daughter looked longingly at various
boxes and chests in which to store
away her rapidly increasing trousseau,
but ownership seemed out of the queS-
tion.
In dismantling the old homestead the
girls mother came across the top Oh
an old cherry bookcase, one of the
high ones with closed wooden doors,
af oil
lower part had long disappeared.
Consulting a carpenter, the woman
found, as she suspected, that the cub
board was made of wood of unusually
fine grain, such as it would be hard to
get nowadays. The cabinet maker
turned out a dover chest from these
old materials that if the wood had been
bought would have cost three times It's
price.
The chest when finished measured
four feet long, two feet wide and two
feet high without the casters. Sunken
panels were set at each end and two in
front, while the connecting strip was
finished in a graceful design in hand
carving.
The corners were rounded, which
added to the appearance and prevents
bad bruises; the lid was beveled and a
moulding was used to finish the bot
tom. The entire chest was lined with
cedar to keep out moths.
For greatest convenience in packing,
tray was added. This was four
inches deep, with cedar frame and
canvas bottom. To prevent sticking
and make handling easy the tray was
two inches shorter than the chest. The
end pieces were provided with fiat
wooden handles which fitted into an
open space at each end formed by the
square blocks used to stay the rounded
corners of the chest.
The lid was fastened with a self
regulating hinge so that it could neith-
er fall forward on the packer nor back
ward to it's own hurt.
The well-seasoned wood, not being
kiln-dred as is the modern way, took
on dull finish tht was admirable.
In making such a chest the price de-
pends largely on the cost of labor and
whether the carpenter must supply ex-
ira wood. The cedar lining is extra,
and the cost may be increased by the
amount of hand-carving used.

Upon the sugar-ice,
With bib and pin beneath her chin
She finished off slice.

A GRUMPY smile she wore,
And that birthday, l grieve to say
She wept aloud for more.

In honor of the day

With crumbs and tears, for aye.

4poE THE NExTE THYNeEp

From an old English parsonage
Down by the sea,
There came in the twilight
This message for me;
Its quaint Saxon legend
Deeply engraven,
Hath, as 1t SENS to me,
Teaching from heaven;
And on through the hours
The quiet words ring
Like low inspiration,
doe the nexte thynge!
Many a questioning,
Many fear,
Many doubt,
Hath its guiding here.
Moment by moment
Let down from heaven,
Time, opportunity,
Guidance are given.
Fear not tomorrow,
Child of the King!
Trust it with Jesus

Do it Immediately,
Do it with prayer,
Do 1t reliantly,
Casting all care;
Do it with reverence,
Tracing His hand
Who hath placed 1t before thee
With earnest command.
Stayed on Omnipotence,
Safe meath His wing,
Leave all resultings-
"Doe the nexte thynge"
Looking to Jesus,
Ever serensr.
Working or suffering,
Be thy demeanor!
In the shade of His presence,
The rest of His calm.
The light of His countenance,
Live out thy Psalm,
Strong In His faithfulness,
Praise Him and sing;
Then as He beckons thee

SIT AND WALK CORRECTLY
AND THUS REMAIN SLENDER

VIZ OMEN who are troubled at the
w increasing size of their figures
w as they grow older need not lose
their youthful figures if attention to
the manner of holding themselves
properly,N exercising and some discre-
tion as to food are observed.
More than so per cent of women lose
their slenderness through sitting badly.
Unless the attitude in the chair is
such as to make the spine erect. to
hold the shoulders in place, STOPPING
cannot be avoided. But what is even
worse, If the spinal column is bent to-
ward the lower end all of the lower
organs are pushed out of place. caus-
ing protruding abdomens and big hips.
1t is carelessness in not sitting on the
tip of the spine that more than any
other reason causes large hips. A
woman may be convinced of this by
sliding down in her chair a couple of
inches, when she will realize that her
figure, instead of being balanced by
the spine, Is pushed out and an increase
in size is absolutely inevitable.
Sit Properly
One of the strictest edicts to be inn
posed upon woman who cares to
preserve her figure is, Learn to sit
properly" In getting into chair push
back on it until the back of the seat
and the lower part of the chair pacK
are touching the spine In other words,
this is the briefest way of putting 1t:
"Sit on the tip of the spine, not three
inches from the tip"
Next in Importance is holding the
shoulders back ard the chest up. If
this is done fat will not accumulate
beneath the shoulder blades, which
when present entirely destroys all
symmetry, for unless the muscles do
the work for, which they are intended
and the figure is held in position they
become paralyzed and unable to throw
off any gathering of superfuous fesn.
No woman may hope to keep her
figure IL she does not walk every day.
Nothing will more quickly make flesh
than always to ride when out of doors
and to loll when at home Moreover,
IL is not enough to walk in slow and
heavy fashion, There must be sufti-
cient briskness in the gait to keep the
muscles sturdy and to prevent the ac-
emulation of flesh. Half an hour a
day is better than none, for this exer-
else and a woman can get 1t by walk
ing at least part way downtown when
going shopping or going to pay visits
1t does not matter when, as long as
she walks and gets some exercise IN
the morning. and more in the afternoon
will do wonders in aiding her to appear
fresh and healthy.
Walk After Eating
1t is wise woman who does not
keep entirely quiet Immediately after
eating a heavy meal. For standing or
walking slowly about the room for MI
teen or twenty minutes does much> to
promote digestion, because when sit
ting the figure Is too often allowed to
slouch impeding digestion by cramp-
ing the vital organs at time when
it Is most necessary that they shall
be in a position to work.
