WOMEN WOULD
CENSOR PLAYS
Drama League Of America will
be Organized by Chicago
Clubs

CHICAGO. April 27-Deiegates from
fifty Chicago clubs and hundreds Of
outside cities met at the Art Institute
to perfect the organization of tho
Drama League Of America. Accord
ing TO the plan outlined, tho weekly
Stage Censor. bulletin containg the
womens diagnosis of the stage. will be
sent 20 every clubwoman in the country
telling her what shows to shun as detri
mental to her moral welfare.
Mrs. A. Starr Best, vice-president of
the Drama Club of Evanston, who is
mentioned as a candidate for the presi-
dency of the new leagu3, said:
I'VE have tried the idea of demand
ing certain reforms Of managers and
are not pleased with the results. Now
We win educate the public TO appreci-
ate what is good and shun that which
is suggestive. Women have no more
right TO parade themselves in a
diaphanous costume on the stage than
they have on the street.
"It is not only fight against the
immoral show. but a criticism of the
weaker against tho legitimate shows
which we propose. When a drama
represents scenes OF the corrupt and
squalid without teaching a great moral
lesson we will put It on our blacklist" ."

FASHION AND FADS
BY Mrs. Maud E. cillsy'

While most OF the coatslceves are
long. one also sees elbow sleeves ana
no sleeves at all. the sleeves Of the
blouse supplying suniciency
Many rows Of Russian braid. tubular
braid. plain silk braid an eighth Of an
inch wide. embroidery and soutache
associated. trim the tailored models.
Although brocaded materials have
been exploited and are employed. there
is no question that the plain, self
colored fabrics are in the ascendency.
Coarse Russian braid, row upon row,
soutache in intricate patterns and
soutache in hanging knots. constitute
the trimming for outdoor garments.
Among the new designs I'm table linen
are napkins and square table cloths
with circular designs. The corners
are filed in with handsome separate
patterns.
skirts are drawn back tightly. the
fulness massed at each side or directly
in the back by a broad strap about a
hand wide or sometimes by a band
reaching to the sides.
For outing days there Is a stunning
model of a sailor hat with a slightly
rolled brim and trimmed with plated
cord and two quills placed quite fiat
at the side.
Not only are the woollen materials
utilized for the short tailored suit. but
crepon in wool and silk. supple satin.
foulard. voile and tussore. are making
a bid for favor.
Socks Of a solid color with plaid tops
will be worn this summer by the small
folks even more extensively than last
year. White socks with colored bands,
/ too. win be in favor.
"Salome" is a fabric I'm great favor
for that type OF gowns, and has Just
enough OF the uneven threads TO give
! distinction, and dustre dun enough to
be correct. It draped BEAUTIFULLY.
Many of the new coat sleeves are OF
masculine coat shape without any per-
ceptible fulness at the armhole, and
finished at the wrist with n soutache
or a cuff stitched or embroidered.
Young women are wearing suits OF
dark colors, frightened with a belt OF
scarlet. carnation pink, flag blue OF
enameIed green. the collar and cuffs OF
satin or stiff taheta corresponding in
color.
] Among new peitS are Nilo0e Oh huhs

buckles, others are of gold galloon, en-.
cr1isted with a pattern in tiny scrolls
and often worn with a chateiain bal
hanging at one side.
