two better gowns than one young man
of the cast has had constructed. The
gown of which pale blue chiffon pan
talettes are to be striking feature is
of pale blue maline with very full
skirt There are many little ruff1es on
it-a really ruff1e record. 1t is trimmed
with darker blue, and it's bodice has
the correct high-raised waist line. A
bunch of grapes ornaments the bodice
and there will also be grapes on the
hat, which is of pale blue, new shape,
large and fiat.
A peach -colored taffeta is another. 1t
is Shirred on to cords, also has very
full skirt together with a brown velvet
waist and sleeves of peach chiffon.
With it goes a perky little brown straw
sailor hat.
Another lucky boy is to wear for the
first time a part of a trunk load of
lovely costumes which are to be worn
later by their real owner down at Palm
Beach next month. They are little
summer dresses" but very attractive
ones, and to make the two that the
amateur will wear suitable for late
afternoon--as the play calls it-elbow
sleeves of net will be added. With them
he will wear very curious and ro-
mantle looking scarf of solid silver on
linen (it weighs six pounds) that came
from Jerusalem.
Fresh from Chilean mountains, where
they had roses in December and bliz-
yards in July, Mr..
Honeymooning in +, and Mrs. Charles
p1:,,l X. Davis have re-
turned to the
home of Mrs. Davis parents in Balti-
more.
Mrs. Davis was formerly Miss Ber-
tina B. Buscher. daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Frederick Buscher, and her en-
gagement to Mr.. Davis excited much
interest in the eastern section about
two years and a half ago, when she
started off alone to Chile to be married
to HIM.
1t was a journey of nearly a month
eight days to the isthmus of Panama,
fourteen days and Il Chilean coaster to
Valparaiso and four more days on a
leg of the journey via Santiago and
Rancagua to Molina. The total jour-
ney was nearly 5000 miles.
Mr.. Davis was located at Molina, in
a mining camp, and met the steamer
at the wharf at Valparaiso. The mar
riage was performed-rather two were
performed, for there had to be civil
in addition to the religious ceremony.
Then the two journeyed off to Molina
and set up housekeeping.
This was in the middle of July, 1912,
and one of the novelties for the plucky
bride was honeymoon trip through
snowdrifts-from sea level to $4,000
and $4,000 foot attitudes; from ultra
civilization at Santiago to a veritable
wilderness at Molina, where the tow
ering mountain ridges shut off the
suns rays an hour or two earlier than
customary, and where the only life
was in the incessant millwork of the
copper outfit, scattered over several
miles of territory and half mile of
altitude.
Bread, potatoes and eatables were at
almost prohibitive prices for young
bride lust facing housekeeping prob
lens. Bread cost Is cents loaf; po-
! tatoes, Sc and 81 a bag, boost OF
some 800 or 400 per cent over Balu-
more figures, and coal was ~ ton; n
prices was in meat. This came wholly
from Argentina and averaged ~ cents

above states prices.
Mr.. Davis is a Baltimorean, and was
known among amateur athletes. he
went to Molina four years ago.

Genevieve Clark's guest here, was for
