ALONG SIMPLE LINES
ORNATE DROPPED FROM MODERN
DECORATIONS.
II Has Been Found That the Best Re-
suits Can Be Obtained by Sim
pIlcity-Furniture Set
as Example.

There is a certain decorator in New
York who employs children, preferably
under ten years Of age, to design and
apply the painted decorations on his
furniture, writes Ethel Davis Seal in
the Washington Star. Children older
than that, or adults, know too much, he
says, to obtain just the simple, crude,
but effective results which he desires.
There is also designer In Paris who
resorts to the public schools for the
same reason. The children here, he
finds, produce the simple but strong
designs, which he cannot procure from
the average professional worker.
One of these men Is the decorator Of
houses. The other Is designer OF
clothes. The decorator Is the product
of the era; the designer has seized
the spirit of the era, and embodies 1t in
his creations. We admire and adopt
his styles for our apparel, and we ad
mire the same modern influence in
house furnishings, which we find mani
tested on every side. But do we stop
to think about 1t and analyze why this
is SO, and how can we best make use
Of this modern feeling without abusing
it? For, not only is it possible to en-
tirely overdo 1t, It Is also quite likely
that timid ones will be afraid to at
tempt it at all.
Occasionally have spoken to you OF
the daring use of black and white; Of
the strong effect to be got from the use
of supposedly uninteresting checks,
stripes and dots; Of an effective note
of orange, or turkey-red bowl But
this is, when summed up, simply the
result Of the new movement. Some
call 1t Futurist, some Cubist, some
rank Impressionism, but | believe 1t
may be termed simply modernism"
Let who will deride the movement, and
point the finger Of scorn; but who can
say that we ridicule the simple art OF
the Egyptians, where effect was often
obtained In the simplest, crudest
way; or the more perfect art Of the
Greeks, where simple line decorations

said.
The frank-eyed boy gazed with nat
ural repugnance at the wretched
tramp before him.
"You didn't know that he was liv-
ing, my dear" she said to her son.
But"
81 knew all about him, mother" the
boy answered
Now I'll tell you why I've come
back Anna" said Curtin Foulkes. I'm
dying. I've got just two months to
live. It's something that can't be
cured. You needn't be afraid of me
any more. I've been bad lot, but
even a dog comes home to die, and
| want to die here, Anna"
She took him in and the next day
gave up her position to take care OF
him. There was money enough for
the boys first term at Grantwich, and
at the end of the two months she
hoped to be able to go back to the
office.
The sick man grew neither better
nor worse. The doctor confirmed his
statement but he extended the period
of suffering to three months. Before
the first month was ended there was
no more money in the bank. Anna
was confronted with the alternative
OF sacrificing her boys school career
or sacrificing her husband. She sac
rifced the boy.
At least, she meant to. But Curtin
Foulkes made move which was even
more dramatic than his temperance.

she was to write that letter to the
head master of Grantwich. Il want to
tell you something. They say the

ance policy for thousand dollars
took out when We were married? I've
kept It up-for you I've borrowed
to the limit on It. but there will still
be seven hundred for you and Charlie,
after-Im gone"
The butcher, the baker, the grocer,
the physician, and, last of all, the
undertaken looked forward, each and
all, to the death Of Curtin Foulkes,
that they might get their money. And
the future of Charlie Foulkes depend
ed upon his fathers death likewise.

WORDS OF INTELLIGENT MEN
According to o. w. Holmes Lecture
Should Be Something Interesting

One learns to make the most OF their

weak ones, to take out the really good

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
why He CAME BACK
BY II. M. EGBERT.

Anna Foulkes was thirty-nine, and
her boy, Charlie, the apple of her eye,
was twelve. Her worthless husband
had abandoned her seven years be-
fore. Annals friends and acqualnt-
ances had congratulated her when
six years Of married life ended In her
freedom. She would not get divorce,
but then she did not want to marry
again
Curtin. having run through all her
money, had departed At first Anna
dared only hope his decision not to
return was true; then she dared TO
believe; finally conviction became GER
tainty. She left the neighborhood and
took up her residence in different
city.
Anna's folks had been gentle. The
boy was to 60 to an expensive pre-
paratory school. For this she had
toiled and scraped in the office where
she was employed as a stenographer.
The hard-earned money had been gath
cred together. In three months Char'
lie was to enter Grantwich.
And then-Curtin came back.
Anna found him leaning against the
gate of her little cottage on the out
skirts of the town. He was IL rags,
but sober. He was thin and wasted
and deadly pale. Inetinctively the
woman shrank away from him as she
saw and recognized her husband
"Curtin!" she whispered. why
have you come back?"
I'll tell you, Anna," he answered
MAY come in?"
Eyes, it's your right" she answered.
But"
"Oh. you needn't be afraid that III
do any harm to the boy" he answered.
"You needn't say"
THAT Is his right, Curtin she an

THE ROSARY"

At the present day when SO many
plays are being presented which
deal with questionable subjects, it is
a relief to turn to a drama which
breathes purity and good fellowship
and leads the way to a brighter view
of life and humanity.
Such a play is The Rosary,
written by Edward +. Rose express
ly for Ed. w. R~owland,Jr., and pro-
duccd by him.
The theme of the play concerns a
man and woman happily married
and surrounded with every luxury
that money and culture can secure.
But the husband is an unbclievcr, an
atheist, without faith of any kind.
There is a EARRING note i'll the
household harmony, a personality at
war with the peace and love Of its
members. No one notices this until
a friend of the husband comes.
Father Kelly, a priest Of the modcrn
world with a deep insight into hui
man nature and a divine love for mis-
fellowmcn. And when stress and
trouble come, when the home is
wrecked and husband and wife are
brought down to the depths Of suf-

fering agony, it is the priest'5 calm
courage and faith that saves them,
drives away the clouds of suspicion,
doubt, distrust and brings them both
into the sunlight OF hope and love.
The play will be at the Grand
thcater next Friday night, with Mr..
Clarence A. Sterling in the role of
Father Brian Kelly, the priest.
