GIRL ARRESTED; CAMERA SNAPS.
Scene on Beach At Atlantic City
Thrills Large Crowd.

Atlantic City. July 25.-A South Caro-
lima avenue beach crowd held its breath
for a moment yesterday when a summer
girl was arrested by her father. a beach
guard, because the costume she wore
was too much abbreviated Too short
by two inches and a third" dramatically
exclaimed the policeman. you are I'M
der arrest" The girl burst into tears
Hundreds lining the Boardwalk railing
demanded to know what 1t was all about.
They found out soon enough when they
saw moving picture cameras clicking
merrily away. 1t was just another thrill
ler'' for the movies and the crowds
moved on.
The girl was Kathryn McDonough. of
this city. She tripped along right into
the raking front of the moving picture
machines at the foot OF South Carolina
avenue shortly after / o'clock A bright
yellow satin cape hung over her Shout
ders. Her skirt-what there was of it
vas Of black and white striped silk, the
stripes two inches wide. Below were
white silk stockings and the trimmest of
black patent leather pumps.
The Washington herald., 1915-07-26

Extremely quaint in its old-fash-
toned lines is a frock of white linen.
AS shown in the sketch, the side seams
of the circular skirt are cut in seal
lops and bound with a narrow strip of
the linen fabric. They are then tackled
together to produce an outstanding
line, which relieves the skirt from
plainness.
The most interesting part of the
blouse Is the wide sleeve. This really
is hung from an underbodice which
forms the lining for the waist. The
upper sleeve or cap is of the linen
with the scalloped edge. while the
very wide lower part Is of fine lawn.
The revers are arranged to suggest
the Eton blouse. The collar is Of
lawn, finely embroidered. White linen
composes the belt, which Is fastened
directly in front with small pearl but
tons.
Black velvet is employed for the hat.
1t has supplementary brim of black
maline and shows large yellow flowers
posed against the crown.

be q writer for 1t Is the seventy-frst
anniversary Of the birth Of Bertha
Buxton. ono of the successful English
women writer's of the last century. As
may be imagined from her first name.
Bertha, Mrs. Buxton was of German
parentage. her mother having been
Mime. Theresa Leopold. q famous sing
er OF her day. Bertha travelled about
with her mother on her singing tours
and from her earliest girlhood was
known in musical circles. Her moth
er's travels took her to Germany. HoI-
land and the United States.
Strange as 1t may seem Bertha did
not show any ambition to become a
musician. Rather she preferred to be-
come a writer and. at the age of
eleven. she was busy writing little
stories, the result of her own active
Imagination. But either Bertha's am
bition was not very great or she re-
ceived but scant encouragement for
nothing came Of this story writing
bent for several years. At sixteen she
was married very happily to Henry
Buxton and after her marriage she
wrote occasionally for her own
amusement.
Necessity 10 not only the mother of
invention but the mother of literary
accomplishment In nine cases out of
ten. There are very few writers who
would have turned their serious at
tention to writing were 1t not for
the reverses of fortunes that leads
them to do SO for self support. Such
was the case with Bertha Buxton who
when she was thirty-one found her
self right up against grim necessity.
She thereupon turned her attention.
to the one thing that she knew best
how to do-that is. to writing. And .
few months later her book. Jennie
and the Princes" went to the publish

well as a book of considerable liter
airy merit. In order to widen. her field

company Of actors as walking lady"
and turned out some very interesting
stories of stage life as result.

Gated to the little Princess of Wales,

success. Unfortunately Mrs. Buttons

HERE'S A CHANCE.

If you really want to start in bust
ness in field that is still in its in
fancy-if you want to be sure of do
ing something that will pay profits,
and at the same time fill a real need
start thoroughly up-to-date laundry
in Latin-America.
Word comes from the countries to
the south of US that there are no laun-
dries worthy of the name to be found
and that in every city or town of TO-
900 population or over there is room
for one or more. OF course there
are the so-called laundries-native
establishments where one is lucky to
have his clothes returned in ten days.
The reason for the delay is that as
side issue the laundry proprietors
carry on a clothes renting business
and also lend clothes sent to be
washed to their inpecunious friends.
When you remember that Latin
America is troubled with yellow
fever, smallpox, beri-beri, bubonic
plague, and several other maladies
that one dares hardly mention in this
country, so rigid are the quarantine
laws that keep them out, you will
see how important, sanitary, we'll
regulated, scientific laundries really
are. Of course these facts may not
Quicken your desire to undertake the
proposition of being laundry pio-
neer in those countries. But then

make money that wasn't accompanied
by some hazards?

Should the woman of today accept
alimony? This is a question that is
much discussed lately. If she de-
mands and gains economic indie
pendence; if she seeks equal oppor-
tunities in the business and profess
sional world: if modern methods free
her of the drudgery of housework
why. asks the logical one, should she
have alimony when she has been freed
from the ties of MARRIAGE? To be
perfectly consistent the woman who
prides herself on being advanced"
should spurn this relic of the man
made" order Of things. 1t is quite as
primitive, even il it is to the wom-
ans advantage, as the law that makes
a woman's earnings belong to her
husband. You can't have your cake
and eat it too, Mistress Feminist. If
you have the advantages of independ-
ence you must also have its disad-
