The plot of "Milestones," the famous
play by Arnold Bennett and Edward
Knoblauch. that will be presented by
Elaw & Erlanger at the Columbia next
week, deals with the lives of the Rhead
and Sibley families through three gen.
erations. In 1850 we see John Rhead and
Sam Sibley break partnership because
Sam cannot share Johns belief in the
future of iron ships. Gertrude Rhead
bands back Sans engagement ring, but
Sans sister, Rose. will not give up
John. In the second act, in 1885. and in
the third act. in 1872, the romantic his
tory of the family repeats itself with
but a small variation of circumstances.
In the third act we see the young
folks OF the first act moving about with
the fecbleness of old age. 1t is fifty
Years since John and Rose began their
romance. Dress and manners, the very
room in which all this action has taken
place. have changed. It is a won
derful picture of the flight of time-a
picture that brings alternate tears and
laughter.

Architecture is the art of designing
building, which will not only be hand
some to-day. but will be handsome fifty
years hence, when the styles have
changed.
There are thousands of handsome
structures in America to-day. but that is
largely because we have gotten used to
them. There are also thousands of
middle-aged buildings which cause the
casual observer to sigh for a pair OF
binders. Most of these buildings were
handsome when they were designed, but
the people have recovered from the taste
which allowed them to admire their par
ticular varieties of warts. protuberances.
bulges. fret work, low-browed porches,
and jig-sawed jamborees.
Architecture is one of the noblest of
callings. because ii produces beauty which
makes glad the eye from century to CEN
fury. The patient architects who de-
signed the cathedrals of Europe 500 years
ago for two shiIlings per day have Ions
been dust, but people still travel thou
sands of miles TO view their work and
to grow and expand esthetically while
gazing into the soaring vaults Of pillared
naves.
II it wasn't for its architecture Europe
wouldn't be worth living in. 1t is a great
tribute to America to say that il Is worth
living in, in spite of its architecture.
America has many fine architects, who
produce beautiful buildings. in spite of
contractors. building committees. and
tables of estimated income. But It also
has many architects who consider that
they have done well when they have
tastefully arranged a few windows bor-
rowed from different schools of design
in a stone wall and have balanced a mis-
cellaneous assortment of towers, spires,
and domes on top of the same.
America is full of frame houses de-

Pepper

Rose Stahl in Maggie Pepper" sounds
new indeed, after reading her name in
connection with the Chorus Lady" for
seven years, but her substantial success
in this. Charles Klein's play. is sufficient
TO prove to the doubtful ones, that Miss
Stahl was much more 10 the stage than
a one-play star. The wise men who
credit themselves with keen knowledge
into things theatrical have laid claim
to the belief that Miss Stahl will be
seen as Maggie Pepper even for a
greater period of time than devoted to
her earlier triumph. With this point in
mind regarding Miss StahTs new vehicle,
there is ample foundation for the abun-
dant interest which has been attracted
20 her appearance here next week at the

best success in the construction OF this
