world, among whom may be mention
ed Mr.. Hackett's new leading lady,
Miss Beatrice Beckley, late of the

The story has to do with the father
of an artist who, tired of city life,
goes into the Ozarks for peace and

some years before, when he fell in love
with simple country girl He painted
her picture when he went back to the
city, deserting the girl He earned
fame because of the canvas. The girl,
deserted and broken-hearted, dies,
leaving behind her a half-witted son.

In the matter of the washing of

was practically sinecure. while II
seems within the bounds of possibility
that In those days she did not exist
at all There were, insOoth. few gar

and the dyer was driving a brisk trade
before the laundress was even thought
of. A little dye must indeed have Gov

and far between. The wealthy of the
middle ages got over the difficulty of
obtaining clean underclOthing with
primitive simplicity by not wearing
any. while the lower orders wore
coarse wOOlen garments that would
no doubt have "shrunk In the wash"
To prevent any casualty of the kind
they remained unwashed.
Velvets, taffetas and richly dyed
silks. such as those worn by the no
