fashionable mOdiste's shops; she
wore the most valued gems Of the
Rue de la PAX, and sno went back
TO From Main street to
Blossoms shop, from the river to
the giant Oak--that was once my

Producing Miss Suratt. She has
had her name in the papers so much
that almost every one knows about
her, She usually plays the kind OF
play they don't allow to be PLAYED
IN Boston She has an extraordi-
narily well shaped back and makes
the most Of it Just now she is
starring in the RED Rose" which
is a play that justifes its name
sake's color. Just now she is out in
the Middle West. Terre Haute Is
out there too. To Miss Suratt one
day came that same old idea about
showing the old town" She had
often had the idea before, but here

So in the dim dusk OF an early
Winter morning, into Terre Ha1te

came from the hotel. Ali what IS
there In them all? One whole trunk

lace and open-work stockings. with
gold embroidery, and (in a whisper) &.

Bazaar Association.
She's an actress. and If she was
my daughter she'd still be trimming
