Anyway, Says DESMOND
in Advocating Romance
over Tragedy.

William Desmond. who supports
Bessie Barriscale. the star, in THE
Sorrows OF Love-" InCe's Triangle
Kay Bee feature. is fond Of roman
tic roles such as the one afforded
him in this production. He declares
that in his long stage experience he
always has found the public more
responsive to romance than to TRACE
dy and he. therefore. believes that
the lighter form of amusement should
rule the boards.
There is enough trouble In the
world without creating It in enter
tsinment," declares Desmond. while
It may be gratifying to an actor to
depict tense emotions that are neces-
sary in tragedy, believe that great
er happiness may be gained by the
player who makes his audience thrill
by romantic delineation and leave the
theater smiling with happy
thoughts"
Although l have played Hamlet

May, 1914. In June, 1914, her parents
took her to the seashOre for a three
months stay. She resumed swim
mink in the pool in September. A
month later she was able to swim
few strokes without the aid of water
wings ~
"Once she Overcame the natural
fear that nearly all swimmers are
subject to, she realized she could
stay aflOat without the wings" said
Noah G.. Monks, swimming instructor
at the Turngemeinde. Confidence
was the natural result, and in two
weeks she could swim the length of
the pool, using a good breast stroke.
q then taught her to dive At first
she refused to try. When l fixed her
in a position to dive she began to cry
and call for her mother. I coaxed
her to make the effort, but it was in
vain. Finally I thought I would push
her into the water, which I did, and I
was astOnished and delighted to see
her come up with a smile on her face.
From that moment on I never had
to coax Dorothy to dive.
''In November I taught her the side
stroke and she soon was able to swim
200 yards. In December I taught her
the Overarm stroke and within a
month she could negotiate a quarter
of a mile. She is indeed a little won
der"
In a recent official exhibition of
strokes Dorothy was awarded %
points out of a pssible 80. She is
able to execute the front, back, head
and roly-poly dives, and last June

WHAT BETTY BROWN SEES IN
SHOPS
Wolfe in front of me! Wolfe at the
left of me! Wolfe waving in stripes
and plaids above me-a volcano of
voile seemed to have upheaved along
my shopping route today.
Most of the new voiIes are coIored
like the rainbow. They are en-
broidered in Cubist colors and plaid
ed in Scotch clan colors. Some are
in Bingham plaids, some initiate Gre
tonne and some are striped with flag
stripes Of blue and green or black
and red.
Flag striped voile is a gaudy thing
used mainly for sports suits, and is
not red, white and blue, but bars of
color, the exact width of the Amer
lean flag stripes. It looks as much
like a porch awning as a flag.
You remember how fashion proph-
cts said we'd be wearing high boots
all summer? Just to the contrary,
summer brings pumps. They are
practically all you see in the shops.
The fiat pump bow is conspicuous,
but many Of the low shoes are trim
med with buckles. The colored
pump-gray. lemon or bronze is the
thing, though a combination of white
vamp and black side pieces is popu-
lar-and just as popular is the pump
of white and gray.
