Basket Shower,

Did you ever happen to think how
many varieties of baskets there are?
! never did until my attention was
called to the fact by a novel basket
shower given for a bride-tobe.
The hostess asked each guest to
bring basket Of some description.
AS the "a guests were all intimate
friends they consulted among them
selves, 50 the selections made did not
include duplicates There was a stun.
ming brown wistaria waste basket;
one Of the same weave to hold fruit;
a market basket made by a Dutch
peasant; clothes basket; tiny GOV.
cred basket to hold a thimble. This
was in round work basket, that also
had scissors shield woven to match.
There was clothes hamper, and q
cunning covered basket with handle,
just large enough to hold a lunch for
two.
To go with these baskets there was
Q tea or coffee rest woven Of sweet
grass. to use when serving on the
porch, and quaint wall holders in
which tumbler could be inserted to
hold wild flowers. The honored guest
was perfectly delighted with this
shower, for it turned out that baskets
was one Of her hobbies.

A Game of "conseouences~

A copy Of very interesting little
game has been sent me, and it reminds
me Of what we called Consequences"
When-well, am not not going to say
when l was young" for am never
going to grow old. There are thirty.
five sheets or slips of paper in a set,
SO the pastime is arranged for large
number Of players, or the hostess
may distribute as many as her party
requires. and the rest are good for
another time. I give specimen copy
Of questions, with the answers. Each
person fills in the answer to one
question and then passes the slip on
to the nextdoor neighbor, who replies
to the next query. When the slip is
full all are to be returned to the hos
tess. who will read the answers aloud
giving the name of the one who
writes the last answer as the "au-
thor" You see the Possibilities may
be grave or serious and there is con-
siderable educational value attached
to it If the questions are taken in
earnest, and they could be used by a
teacher with her pupils to get an ex-
preston Of each ones preferences, by
having one person answer all the
questions and turn in the slips to her.
You see there is always some good
in Confessions and this scheme
may add to a closing school party.

BLACK HAT STILL SMARTEST
Dominant Color In Millinery, Either
Alone or In Combination With
Shades of a Softer Hue.

Even yet the black hat continues
to attract universal attention, and
when any color is introduced at all It
is always most tentative. Those ex-
ceedingly ugly, hard tulle aigrettes,
reminiscent of baby's rattle, are no
longer to be seen, and arisen In their
place are the most fascinating orna-
ments Of aigrette type, but effected
very lightly In plisse rain-proof tulle.
On a little black tulle shape, the
crown arranged for all the world like
a mob cap, and set within narrow
drawn brim that had quite little
mushroom tendency in front, but gent
ly rolled upwards at the back, a fan
like arrangement of black plisse tulle
was poised, backed by similar ar
rangement of white tulle. The affair
rose to an appreciate height, while
right In front there lay, as though 1t
had just been flung there, small bow
of dephinium blue velvet.-Queen.

Marriage and the STAGE.


Can art and matrimony dwell har-
moniously inAthe heart of the woman
of the stage?
This question has been revived by
the recent marriages of Nine. ALA
Nazimova and Blanche Bates, two of
the best known actresses In the Amer
lean stage. The question was put to
Nazimova at the Empire theatre, The
famous Russian actress, who mar
ried Charles e. Bryant, her leading
man, answered frankly, but neverthe-
less, enigmatically.
81 am unable to weigh the ques-
ton now. AS yet my perspective is
not properly adjusted. Perhaps later
/ can reply. But now-nothing."
ASK Belasco," was advised. "You
ed company because of her marriage
to william Louis Payne. And he and
Miss Blanche Bates have parted
company--for this season at least"
The producer unfortunately was in
accessible, but there was an inkling
Of his opinion in the announcement
he made to the effect that his contract
with Miss Blanche Bates had been
concealed ''by mutual consent"
Can the woman who is a genius be
welded to anything but art?
Mary Garden is firm OF the con
viction that a woman cannot marry
without sacrificing her art. In a re-
cent interview Miss Garden said:
II believe marriage Is simply a hui
man contract to maintain the family;
it's function is to produce it's own
should marry with that knowledge,
and should sacrifice other things to
that duty.
IAN arttst for that very reason
should not marry, for no woman can
be a great artist and a great mother.
What she puts into motherhood is
taken out of her art. What she puts
into art is taken away from mater
nifty. She should give up either her
career or domestic happiness-and
children.
The cease of Leslie Carter is al
ways held up as a horrible example
of what marriage will do to- wreck
an artistic career After breaking
the bonds OF matrimony n Q and de-
voting herself to art Mrs. Carter be-
came the most famous actress in the
country.
Six years ago in two automobiles q
select little company, together with
Mrs. Carter, her chum, Miss Norma
Munro, and her son, Dudley Carter,
took a trip through New England. Will
liam Louis Payne an actor of modest
capacities was assigned a. seat In MrS.
Carriers car. The upshot OF 1t was that
the two were secretly married in Ports
mouth, N. H.
Dudley Carter bluntly announced the
news. 1t reached her manager. Mr..
Belasco, in New York. MIR. Belasco had
a heart to heart talk with his star yer
the telephone, and 1t ended in dissolv-
ing their partnership. She has not ap-
peared under his management since.
But, Mrs. Carter said two years ago
(four years after the marriage):
II know I am still to do the greatest
work of my life."
