Price of Success Must Be Paid
in, Attending to Every
Minute Detail to Produce
Proper Impression.
By FLORENCE E. YODER.

~ ONE people, especially young
people, have fond idea that
~ the attainment of greatness
brings a respite to all of the
more sordid tasks OF life.
The idea of becoming a wonderful
actress is usually thought to carry
with 1t the promise of unlimited
wealth in the amount OF clothing.
ard the prospect OF having all of
that clothing prepared for ones es-
Decial use by some faithful person
who gives everything in the way OF
talent, but who basks graciously in
the background, content to feed
from the borrowed glory OF the star
herself.
But coming down TO real hard
tacks. that mythical person of the
background who prepares the
clothes of the actress, is usually
merely a figment of the Imagination
of the theatrical fan, and as a mat
ter of fact does not exGt any moro
than does the perfect servant.
The person who takes the time
and the trouble to prepare the mar
velous creations is usually the star
herself!
This is the confession of Miss
Elsie Ferguson. who plays at the
National next week in The Out
cast. and who wears clothing
which would make the dressmakers
and designers despair and tear their
hair. II they had any. with envy
had Miss Ferguson happened TO be
a business woman instead OF a star
in the theatrical universe.

Alert Easter bunnies in all the
shop windows are getting everything
ready for their grand celebration
next week. You can get them in all
sizes, from the tiniest OF wee cotton
wool rabbits clutching bright carrots
to the huge animals that would need
ten pounds of candy at least to
satisfy them. All the candy shops
are showing special Easter packages,
ranging all the way from eggs to
hats.

The little boy or girl would love

Genius With EndOwments.

In the attainment OF all positions
for which there is a common de-
nand, the thing that wins out in the
end is genius, and genius 1t would
seem, is not only an especial endow-
ment in one line, but an especial
endowment in one line combined
with other endowmeuts.
Else how can one account for Miss
Ferguson. who is a successful star.
yet who is a designer and model of
more than ordinary capabilities?
1T is an very we'll and good" said
Miss Ferguson. ito talk about hav-
ing all of ones gowns designed for

person.

In their wild state long ago nearly
all Indians lived in a movable strue-
ture, commonly known as a wigwam
or tepee. A common form was to use
a dozen or twenty poles, fastened to-
gether at the top. The skins Of ami
mails, sewed together, were used to
form a cover for the outside. The
skins Of buffalo and deer were COM
monty used. In later times, canvass
cloth obtained from the white man

taken down and moved. At the pres

1t was too near Christmas to

to visit Not a parent was able
to meet US at Payne. Many
sent their regrets. They were
going to practice every night,
and were getting ready for
Christmas. The pupils had pre-
pared an interesting program,
however. And we had a fine
dinner at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Kemp.
At Hisey, a large crowd was
present. The pupils rendered
an interesting program. There
was a beautiful tree with pres
ents for teacher, pupils and
parents. Then Miss Moore had
candy enough to treat every
one.
In spite of the stormy weather
Miss Harrison with many of
her pupils and patrons met US
at night at Cedar Grove. There
was a good program of essays
and speeches by the pupils, and
a very interesting meeting. /
feel that shortly conditions at
Cedar Grove will be much more
suitable for the home of the
children of the good people in

Thursday afternoon we met
the largest crowd yet, 100 or
more at the Liberty school
house. And yet Mr.. James as
sured US that this was a small
crowd for Mud Dauber." The
program was excellent--the on
ly kind that Mrs. Nieman and
her family" know how to give.
The tree was large and covered
with gifts 1t was a beautiful
sight. There was also an in
teresting corn contest. Cal
Barnes got the blue ribbon on
the white corn with VIM.

Bell won on the yellow. 1t was
a good showing for 1914. Here
we met Mr.. French Strother,

years ago. Although he is near

ing praise for those who are
trying to better them.
