ISLAND OF SURPRISE
IS FEATURE At LION

Cyrus Townsend Brady. the author
OF The Island of Surprise" at the
Lion Theater today, has written
slXty-fiye books, all of which have
been successes, but none more pop
ular than this one, for the story is
so different, so interesting, that it
may be said to be his best. 1t is
story that adapts well to the screen
as it contains much action, including
a big train wreck, battleships at sea
and terrific fight with savages.
The Island of Surprise" deals with a
man cast on desert island with
two beautiful women, one blonde.
the other brunette and both claim
him as their husband This situation
alone is enough to arouse curiosity
and the fact that the screen version
Is presented with an all star cast in
GLIDING William Courtnay, Eleanor
Woodruff and Zena keefe adds
greatly to the attractiveness of the
picture. The Island of Surprise" is
shown at the Lion theater today and
tomorrow and is without question one
of the big feature pictures of the
week.

The generosity of player folk is
proverbial but seldom has it so been
demonstrated as in the gift by Clara
Kimball Young, the World Film star,
of perfectly good automobile to the
Red Cross Society for conversion in
to an ambulance for use in the Eu-
ropean war.
Miss Young recently won a car in
popularity contest in New York.
About the same time she received a
letter from an English cousin. Bay
ard Kimball, who had been wounded
at Lens and who wrote pathetically
of the difficulties faced by the med :
zeal corps owing to the lack of motor
ambulances.
The idea of giving her older car to
the Red Cross to be made over into
an ambulance came to her and she
acted on it Immediately.
Clara Kimball Young can be seen
today for the last time in The yell

PARTISAN DESIGN THAT is BEAU.
TIFuL IN EFFECT.
OF Ivory White Jersey Cloth, With
Embroderies Of Soft White silk
Goat VIII Be a Favorite for
the Winter.

My sketch shows one OF Redfern's
new models for seaside wear, writes
ldalia de villiers, Paris correspond
ent of the Boston Globe. In this case
u beautiful quality of ivory white jer-
sey cloth was used and the embroid-
cries were worked entirely in soft
white silks. The smart coat, which
nodded the figure, was finished off with
a large white. linen collar and cuffs to
match.
This was really exquisite suit. In
the best of taste, in acc ,rdance with
the traditions of the Maison Redfern
and very new In outline. These shaped
coats will be much worn all through
the winter. They are tight, without
being too tight, and the basque Is CIV
en- distinct flare at the hem. Red
fern is making coats of this order in
fine serge and In pale-hued linens, and
always with the greatest success.
Redfern, like all our other really
good tailors, Is making n number of
plated skirts-accordlon plalts, box
plaits, killed plaits. Indeed, the plait-
ed skirt is now an established favor
tie. 1t will certainly play u leading
role in the world of dress all through
the winter.
The Parisiennes are asking for
white costumes, and white costumes
only. Very brilliant colors are being
shown by all the leading dressmakers
and tailors, but these are for the for
eign markets. The really exclusive
Parisiennes wear only black, navy blue
white or gray.
And this is easily understood.
France is in mourning for her brave
sons. Someone is missing In almost
every home. How then can one ex-
pect the Parisiennes to appear in gay
| colors?
But even for the foreign markets an
immense number of white costumes
are being made this year. Among
these white jersey cloth, white linen
and ivory white crepe de chine take
the lead.

Required to Make a 80 by 40
Inch Oval.

The pretty oval braided Japanese
rugs seen everywhere now suggested
TO an ingenious girl the idea OF using
up the odds and ends of rags in the
house and crocheting them together
instead of braiding them. While 1t
may not appeal to one as summer
fancy work, still it's "A good time to get
one's strips together in balls and plan
for long winter evenings.
To make a rug 30 by 40 inches oval
requires "a yards of material 36 inches
wide. 1t is much prettier to choose
two different colors, white and another
solid color or II yards of white and
The rest divided among two or three
harmonizing shades. 1t must, how
ever, always be remembered that in
rug designing, like bouquet making or
quilt patching certain rules are infal-
ible. There must be distinct touch
Of dark, black or very dark blue or
brown. Yellow and green set off all
other colors and the prettiest rugs are
Iivided equally between white and an
other color or group of colors.
To make white and blue-striped
rug, for example, tear 17-yard strips
Of white cheesecloth and blue calico
INTO one-inch widths
Begin with chain eight inches
iong, crocheted with heavy wooden
crochet needle costing 10 cents or
one of amber wEich costs 10 cents
Turn and put in eight stitches mt the
end. Repeat at the other end after
crocheting back the eight inches of
chain. Add eight stitches at the ends
with every other row and this will
form the oval. When the first piece
Of II yards of white is consumed, be-
gin with the blue strip and alternate
the two colors until all the strips are
finished. This produces II graduated
stripe rug.
A girl who has three brothers and
great many brothers friends has
made a rug of neckties, cut into inch
strips and sewn together in harmonic
ng combinations. This rug is very
beautiful and, being of silk, is quite
valuable. The really loveliest and
most durable ones of all are made of
wOolen materials, but if one buys out

MOST ACCIDENTS IN HOMES
Majority Of Injuries Can Be Traced
to the Carelessness Of
individuals.

The safety first" movement is or
dinarlly understood to mean caution
In public, in crossing streets or board
ing cars, or carefulness In the factory
In handling tools or machinery, but, nc
cordlng to the report of the coroner
of Cook county, Illinois, there is more
need for safety first" methods in the
home than In the street or factory.
In II years of the Chicago cOroner's
incumbency the total number of deaths
by accident investigated by his Office
was 20,S64. OF these 1924 were "nc-
cidents at home" and 1923 outside
the home"
Most of the accidents at home are
traceable to carelessness. Burns and
scalds caused many deaths. Asphyxia-
ton, poisoning, suffocatlon, falls, ex-
posture and neglect, careless use of
matches, firearms, gas and oil stoves,
gasoline, liquid stove polish, defective
stovepipes and flues, SCOT, etc, cost
thousands of lives. In Cook county In
1915, 105 children under five years of
age were killed by scalds and burns.

PORT OF MISSING WHEELS
the, Eventual Fate Of
Bicycles.

Perhaps you have wondered what
has become of all the old bicycles. Not
so long ago everybody had one-fa.
Their, mother, children and aunts from
the country. And then, in the night,
motor cars got cheaper and all the
bicycles disappeared. Like the Palm
Beach suits they are all here in Flor
ida. There are bicycles everywhere,
on the fiat, hard beautiful roads, on
the curbstones, leaning against the
piaZzas, In the streets. If the mo-
tor car has swept them from the north
ern streets, II has not done that here.
Men, women and children on bicycles
whirl about the streets. tlngling their
little bells and the motor-car drivers
look out for them. Just beyond the
veranda ut Palm Beach were hundreds
Of bicycles waiting to be hired. Out
on the shaded roads were other hun
dreds bearing their gayly attired bur-
dens.
In the lobby, where was making my
way to the desk. were dozens Of wom-
en- dressed for wheeling.-Margaret

Preparedness Gloves.

The woman who is truly patriotic
and in the present fervor of prepared
ness talk 1t is quite the fashion so to
be-will pause with interest to look
at the new preparedness gloves. They
are made of the usual heavy white kid
of fine quality and instead of being
stitched on the back with white or
black stitchlng-as gloves usually are
these are decorated with the colors
of Old Glory.
To wear a pair OF these gloves one
would perhaps have to be little ven-
turesome, but then wearing the latest
fashion always requires n little temer-
ity, and. as matter of fact, these
gloves are exceedingly attractive.

ASIA MINOR HARD TO BOUND
Geographical Names There Have Free
quently Only the Vaouest Meanings
for the Student or the Traveller.

"Asia Minor" is a geographical term
OF vague extension. II would puzzle
anyone to say exactly where II leaves
OF.
The name dates only from the fifth
century, A. d.. when Orosius used It..
evidently as a novelty. The Roman
empire knew no Asia minor; indeed.
the Roman province of Asia" was
actually smaller than this Lesser Asia.

found favor with the Turks, is equally
indeterminate.

same thing as "Anatola"--reglon of

geographical scope. II includes Con-
stantinople and everything anywhere

Few geographical names have in
Cured more unfavorable association.
'Levantine" morals. particularly in
the matter Of honesty, are byword,
as might be expected from such a
tumble Of people. Our words 'levan-
ter" and ito levant." on the other hand,
testify to the fact that dishonesty Is
not unknown even in the West. They
originate from the disappearance of
men who could not pay their gambling
or other debts. and were reported to
have gone to the East.-American Car

Thinking and Acting.

We read our papers and find tales
of suffering, poverty, hardship. Pity,
indignation, desire to better condi-
tons, IA warm sense of our common
humanity, Is stirred within us. That
is thought pleading to be embodied
In action. If we permit IL to remain
unused, we have depleted our force.
We are letting the steam escape. The
next time, emotion will tend to seek
the same channel-and evaporate. This
is death to resolution, forceful charac-
ter. If we are to be strong, alert to
meet each emergency of life, we must
put into immediate action every high
emotional prompting. William James
says: 1T is not in the moment OF their
forming, but in the moment of their
producing motor effects, that resolves
and aspirations communicate the new
set to the BRAIN"

Saved an Empress.

With the filing of the will of Mrs.
Sarah Gray Crane in the Surrogate's
court n trust fund of $4,000 became
available for the trustees of Amherst
college. DIR. Edward A. Crane, her hus-
band, had left the bulk of his estate In
trust for the benefit of his widow.
After her death II was to go to Am
herst. How Doctor Crane saved the
life of Empress Eugene from a Paris
mob of September 4, 1870, was told In
the Will. He planned the secret flight
of the empress from Paris to Deau-

after the news of the Sedan surrender.
He arranged passage on Lord Bur
goyne's yacht and took her TO England.
The empress rewarded Doctor Crane

SUIT ALMOST ALL WOMEN
Large Hats Return to Favor VIII Be
Generally Welcomed, for Very
Good Reason.

Almost all women are heartily glad
that larger hats are the fashion.
There Is mysterious allure about the
big shady hat which shadows the face
that Is wonderfully softening and be-
coming. To young faces the new hats
which curve deeply down at each side
make really bewitching frames, espe-
cially when they are of some dark
color and lined underneath the brlm
with some soft and delicate tint such
as egg-shell blue, oyster pink or the
pale putty shade that has proved so
valuable for the purpose. Never has
there been such catholicity of choice
as now. For, according to your re-
quirements and what becomes you
best, you can have either the close-fit-
ting swathed toque, the tall, practical
ly brimless hat of Cossack frame, sur
mounted by cockade or a chou Of
ribbon; the dainty dropping Vatican
or Dolly Warden, the charming and less
exacting bell shape. or the great cart
