-HE latest display of freakish FASH
ions in public occurred at the
annual horse show at Madison
Square Garden. A report direct
from New York tells of the CHASTITY
and narrowing details in language guar
anteed to carry a vivid picture, leaving
but few points to be supplied by the
ina agination.
'"rhe horses had nothing on the la
dies and the ladies had nothing on
themselves"-that is, hardly anything
at the annual horse show at Madison
Square Garden. What they had, how
ever, was rich, rare, and racy, as beiits
a horse show toilette. Velvet proved to
be the prime favorite both for the az
ternoon suit effects and the evening
gowns. 1t was there in the new sha1es
of Czarina green, hazel brown. fuchia.

always and al ways black was the
winner. Viewing the latest styles ON

A black velvet relieved by a bodice or

Droll Actor Perfectly
By JULIA MURDOCH.

TIME name. "a Little Water on the
side" does not. as its name
might lead one to suspect, apply
to anything stronger than the
limpid fluid that flows under bridges.
or. in this particular case, laved the
shore at Platt's Cove, the little Con-
necticut village where the scenes of this
weeks play at the National are laid.
William Collier wrote "A Little Water
on the Side" for himself. SO 1t stands
to reason that it suits this amusing
actor perfectly 1t embodies all those
qualities of drollery, quiet humor. and
unstudied acting that have become
synonymous with the name Of Collier.
The play is full of quaint types ana
delicious episodes. and gives evidence In
every line of having been built to suit
Cclliers peculiar but deligh: personality.
This it does perfectly. It ambIes along
pleasantly for three acts, giving the
actor all the opportunity IN the world
OF kidding himself. his fellow actors.
and the audience. and all concerned
seem to enjoy the experience.
While "A Little Water on the Side"
lacks some of the roliickins humore of
some Of Mir. Golfers plays that have
prececed 1t. the plot is more coherent.
and tells a story that holds interest un-
til the very last lins.
Hereditary Feud
Basis Of Plot.
An hereditary feuG forms the basis
CT the play. James Abbott, the hero.
comes back TO his old family home pen
niiess, to find his sister struggling to
keep up the family fortune by operating
a country grocery store. The task has
been a difficult one, and when Abbott
acrives he finds the store deserted, ex-
ccpt for charge" customers, and the
family exchequer not only empty, but
Lis sister several hundred dollars In
oeSt- The only aSset the brother and
sister possess, is a strip of land on the
water front, ten acres, which the John
d. Rockefeller OF the village, John
Fleming, must have to consumrnate
deal relating to a bridge across the cove.
With starvation staring him in the
face, Abbott refuses to sell to his and
his fathers worst enemy, and tells the
old man SO in no mild language. Then
the Deus ex Machina arrives in the
form of Madge Fleming. daughter OF
old Pop Fleming. She Is pretty, stylish,
iulperiOus, and eighteen, and runaway
automobile has obIigingly dumped her
at the door of the Abbott grocery, just
at the psychological moment.

Makes Good By
Sheer Tenacity.

Abbott makes good through sheer de-
termination. though much Of his bust
ness is carried on a .sshoestrirg.'' and
the love affair progresses, in spite OF
numerous obstacles. Old Fleming's ef-
forts to ruin Abbott financially are
frustrated by his daughter and Abbott
and the opening Of the third act finds
Abbott so far ahead of his creditors
that he has become the owner of
calls 1t, and his champagne for dinner
every day.
To the boat comes old Fleming TO
make last appeal for the strip OF
water front He has raised his price
from 800 to $4,000. and threatens Abb
cepts the terms offered. Abain Abbott
refuses in no unmistakable terms. and
this time he is aided and abetted by
the girl. In the end the old man capit-
ulates, and everyone is happy.
