The business woman should remember
that during hot weather a light yet
nourishinS lunch IS more desirable than
the most elaborate menu.
a bowl Of some knocked, unprepared

plenty OF cream, is all that the average
person needs IN hot weather.

Although Pinero and Barrie are two
distinctly different types, they are great
friends. PinerO is play constructor. He
lays his foundation, then his framework
and eventually fills in his structure with
decorative dialogue and epigram. Barrie.
on the contrary, is and always will be
what he started out to be-a novelist and
dreamer. Charles Frohman once told
of contracting with Barrie for play and
that the Scotch author wrote the fifth
act first, then after some time did the Sec
ond and finally shifted about from act to
act until he had the thing completed.
Barrie and Pinero are seen much to-
gether about the Garrick Club in London
during the season Barrie also spends
many week-ends at Pinero's bungalow in
the country some thirty miles removed
from London.
Those who are more or less conversant
with the personal life of J. NJ. Barrie can
readily grasp the tenderness OF those
lines that Pnero has penned as complf-
ment to his contemporary.

Mr. Armstrong wrote alias Jimmy

was produced in month after it was

work, but Mr. Armstrong;. nfetlpd is
partly the explanation for the seeming
phenomenon. He thinks about and talks
about play for long time before he
ever touches pencil to paper-sOmetimes
for months. He has the smallest detail
worked out in his own, mind and he does
no composing of plot or incident after
he begins.
