After a tiresome trip up the
White river. Ralph Sanders push
ed the prov OF his canoe into the
bank and then began making
home in the edge OF the ozark
country. After getting a patch OF
mountain and valley into some SEM
blance Of a home, he was stricken
and died. Sanders was an unmar-
ried man, and the one whom he
named as heir to the little speck of
a mountain home was Grace Mil
ton. then in her early teens. It was
with no little degree of surprise
that young Miss Milton received the
announcement at her home in Vir-
ginia that she was the heir 20 a Ger
tain tract OF land in the 4 ark
mountain country.
She turned the business OF seeing
after the property over 10 a lawyer
cousin. and forgot ali about II. And
when this cousin moved 20 another
city a few years later. he handed
Grace Milton the papers pertaining
10 her property. she filed them
away and forgot them again.
The months stretched into years
during the time that the little place
had no tenant and the space thai
Ralph Sanders had cleared there in
the forest became a wild tumble of
Eoung pine. sasSafras and bamboo.
And before long the low house that
ne had built was completely hidden
from the river over the place the
razor-back hogs and lean cows
from the neighboring farms came 10
forage on the young growth. There,
TOO. the children OF the community
came to play at hide-and- seek
among the young pines that rose
like giant needles over the yard. IN
the rooms OF the house. still partly
furnished. they played keeping
house" with no one 20 take excep-
ton 10 the noise they made IN their
riotous frolicking.
Later still. these same children
came 20 roam through the growth
on their childhood playground. two

world where two is company and
three is a crowd.
Meanwhile Grace Milton was
Frowins up In the society OF her
surroundings. forgetful OF the little
wilderness that was passing from
her possession because OF unpaid
taxes. While she dreamed dreams.
the half-wild children that played
over her western property grew up
To reverence the memory OF the lit
tie deserted place that had been
their unrestricted playground, and
they came back 90 the spot years
later with half-formed thoughts OF
a home just like IT,
Spring had come again and Virgil

SO many successful plays by new
authors have appeared this season
that the Shuberts intend TO estab-
lish a special department where
young writer's who are struggling for
a place in the sun will receive val
liable instruction.
Charity does not enter into this
latest innovation OF the Messrs. Shu-
bert. Lee Shubert believes that
many good plays are lost TO the pub
lie owing 10 the authors lack of
prominence. Every season hundreds
of plays are submitted 10 producers.
only to be tossed aside when the
"by line" reveals an unheard-of au-
thor. Many producers will not con-
slider a play whose author is not
prominent in the play-writing world.
During the past season several re-
markable plays were submitted 10
the Shubert office by writer's whose
names have never appeared in pub
lie. A few OF the manuscripts have
really worthwhile plots, and with a
little attention from an experienced
play writer. Mr.. Shubert believes
they can be transformed into Broad
way successes.

The shops continue to display
blouses-tailored and otherwise made
for late summer wear. Tailored mod
els are of crepe de chine and other
wash silks, while georgette crepe holds
its own first place for dressy wear.
The lingerie blouses of fine white voile,
trimmed with narrow filet, cluny or lin
gerie lace, and further ornamented
with fine touches-used sparingly-
gains ground as midsummer nears.
This is favorite, worn with white
wash skirts and with other separate
skirts for the street and sports. 1t
launders to perfection, and the silk
blouses do almost as well, with careful
washing.
A blouse of white pussy willow taf-
feta is one of the few tailored mod
els which Is not uncompromisingly

the front wrought in small white and
blue beads. Except for this it is en-
tirely plain, relying for its style upon
wide sailor collar and deep pointed
cuffs turned back at the wrists.
In the blouse of georgette narrow
revers at the front widen into a collar
that is deep at the back and edged
with narrow filet lace. Fine tucks, in
:wo groups. extend from the shoulder
seams to the line of the bust and Il
dainty pattern in silk embroidery fin
ishes the decoration. The sleeves are
gathered into deep plain cuffs and all
seams are hemstitched.

The stout, matronly figure has a

FAvoRITEs FOR sLouses FOR MIDSUMMER

The stout woman must begin at the
beginning by having corset that fits
and shapes up her figure. Thei, If she
adopts scientifically designed clothes,
and has them perfectly executed, no
one Will ever couple "ungainly" with
her figure, for 1t will have good lines
aad style. But in the new designing
nothing is left to chance; every line
every button, every drapery-every-
thing is matter of study.
There are two good examples uf sue
cessful costuming of the stout figure,
shown in the picture. In one of them,
of plain satin and satin-striped crepe
georgette, the designer takes advan-
tage of the newly arrived boX-plaited
skirt to emphasize long, straight lines
in the costume. The plaits are narrow
and thoroughly pressed and the skirt
is set on to a bodice of satin with
long front and plaits at each side of
it. 1t fastens with a row of small
satln-covered buttons set close to-
gether. In the over drape of striped
crepe the satin stripe overlays the
crepe stripe. The belt of plain satin
slips through slashes in the straight
hanging drape and dips to lengthen the
waistline at the front. The upper
part of the sleeves, of the striped
crepe, falls over deep, close-fitting
cuff of satin. Length of skirt Is to be
determined by becomingness and not
sacrificed to styles that shorten the
figure.
This is noticeable in the suit shown
with plain skirt cut ankle length.
