"Master Of His Home"

Much has been said Of motion pic
tnre fights, faxed and otherwise, but
there are not enough superlatives III
the dictionary to describe the scrap
nut up by William Desmond and Rob
ert McKim in "Master of His Home, "
which will be today's attraction at the
Gem, Director Walter Edwards was
determined to make this fight differ
ent. and the result was clean-cut,
fast and furious fstic encounter in
which the first blow sent Mckim spin
ming across the room, and not semi
wrestling match where the partici-
nants roll about the floor through
several hundred feet of film. After
Desmond landed the first punch, he
picked McKim up and hurled hif1
against nearby desk with force
that will bring gasp from any audi
ence.
Of course, for the purpose of the
story, it was necessary that Desmond
land the telling punch, but after the
two players got into the spirit OF the
thing it looked as though the result
would be declared a draw. The scrap
is of brief duration, but is fast and
furious while it lasts, and Triangle
patrons are promised an exhibition
that will keep them on the edge OF
their seats with excitement.

telling her they will be married upon
her arrival. Despite the warnings of
friends and relatives, she accedes to
his request, but the unscrupulous
scoundrel fails to keep his promise,
although making it impossible for the
girl to leave him. Later she is in
strumental in saving the life of a
prospector who has STRUCK it rich in
the gold fields, and in return he prom
ises her that whenever she needs a
friend she has but to call on him.
Still later in her life, after she has
made happy marriage and when the
past arises and seems about to rob
her of her happiness, this prospector
fulfills his pledge and comes to her
aid in a most remarkable manner.

"Transgression."

The pressure that crooked politi-
clans sometimes bring to bear on the
district attornies in our big cities is
powerfully portrayed in "Transgres-
sion," which the Grand will present
next Friday. The prosecutor in ques-
ton is over night confronted with the
apparent alternative of dismissing his
case against the leader of a political
gang-the climax Of his work as dis
trict attorney-or seeing his lifelong
friend, the mayor, go to prison as ac-
cessory to murder, and the happiness
of his daughter, who is engaged to the
mayor, forever blasted
The district attorneys answer is
for the crook to do his worst while he
does his duty. What happens is told
in "Transgression," in which Earle
Williams and Corinne Griffith are
featured.

bulbs, grown in masses with snow
drops, grape and feathered hyacinths,
are charming in effect.
The Sternbergia lutia is a bulb which
gives up its blossoms In September,
often extending into the latter part
of November. A clump of them is
very striking, the flowers being pure,

The most satisfactory bulb of all Is
the fieur de lys, iris or flags, the mar

which they are planted should not be

GOWNS REFLECT j. s. UNIFORMS

New York.--It is the most natura
thing In the world that the buoyancy
optimism and remarkable rise in com
merce which have been brought abou
In Paris by the men who wear oul
khaki should be reflected in the cos
tumery which the French designers are
offering to the American buyers.
It is not overdone, so we hear. There
were enough American buyers In Paris
during the spring to forewarn the
French designers against making
clothes that incorporate military fea
lures with which the American WON
an is overfamiliar
What is surprise to the French Is
an old, old story to us. They know
nothing of the cowboy hat, the clay
colored flannel shirt rolling open In
front, the military jacket buttoned to
the chin and the West Point overcoat,
but we have known these from the be-
ginning, and we have not worn them
because they were part of the soil.
Paris, however will reflect in her
new costumes just enough of our mill
tary uniforms to make them interest
ing to us. Her only market today
comprises the two Americas and seq
ment of England, and 1t is said that she
has combined the Spanish and the
North American effect in her clothes,
with only dash of Russian.
There will be an und0ubted Spanish
influence this season. The reason for
this is not political, although Brazil
and Argentine have filed the French
dressmaking houses for decades with
their wealthiest customers. Their
sympathy today is very dear to Paris,
and whatever is dear to Paris comes
out in her clothes.
The Exhibition in Madrid.
The real reason, however, behind
the Spanish influence, is the warm wei
come that Madrid gave to an early ex-
hibition Of Paris clothes. Paul Poiret
was there directing and suggesting,
and all the other important dressmak-
ers exhibited In this important neutral
country. Poiret, Worth and Lanvin
have been urging Spanish costumery
for two years, and this exhibition In
Madrid clinched the situation.
In exactly what manner the Spanish
costumery Of several centuries will be
reflected In the new French clothes,
we're not yet quite sure, but the Inn
mense ruffs and elongated cuffs of
white organize and muslin which have
appeared on new bodlces indicate that
the portraits Of Philip the Fourth and
his contemporaries have already given
Inspiration.
A Touch OF Chinese.
Whenever we think Of the Chinese
silhouette we begin first with the tight
ened hips. then 80 on to the narrow
hem and the slim but loose line above
the waist.
Now, this rs the silhouette which
France has launched. A few of the
great designers sent word that the
new idea Of the silhouette Is taken
Mountain Home Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1915-1946, 1917-09-08

as ushers and where one act is sure
to be devoted to Chinese episode.
One of the best-known model
houses has its entire salon done In
faint blues and grays, and the visitors
are received by small girl in the bril-
liant Chinese costume that one sees on
piece of lacquer.
If one determines the silhouette for
the season, all other things come
more easily, and If one will just re-
member that France has set her seal
upon the narrow skirt with its tight
hem in regular line, the loose
bodice, the frightened effect at the hips
and the sleeves wide at the wrist, one
will get distinct impression of the
foundation stone of the new fashions.

Fabrics France Uses.
It seems clear from the cables that
have come across the water that
duvetyn will be revived In an especial
ly forceful manner. The weavers have
made it more durable and less liable to
outside impressions. This Is well, for
no woman can quite forgive even the
loveliest fabric for showing the mark
of every hard object she touches.
Gaberdine will remain In fashion.
Georgette crepe will have an unusual
degree Of success. Brocade, In the
metallic Powered design to which we
are quite accustomed will be used for
evening capes as a relief from velvet
and lavishly heaped with peltry. That
brilliant Egyptian blue SO well be-
loved by artists is shown in evening
wraps of brocade with flowers Of
silver.
Three dominating shades of dark
blue are used for street and afternoon
frocks. The house of Doeuillet makes
an especial point Of using one or all
of these shades in the majority of his
costumes.
Beige, which we have worn in an
uncounted number of gowns, is of
fered for the early autumn, although
1t is doubtful whether ii will remain
in fashion during the cold weather.
1t is introduced for evening, which Is
a novelty, when It is draped with
golden brown tulle and trimmed with
gold braid and embroidery.
The deep red shades will be as dom
inant as dark blue, to judge from the
first expression in clothes at the Paris
exhibitions. The American public has
always liked garnet, claret, magenta
and terra Gotta although the latter
cannot be included in the dark red list.
Its popularity, however, is assured All
the French dressmakers have put a
bit Of it into their costumes and there
are street suits of it touched with
black.
New Shade OF Red.
There is shade of red called In
dian, which France is Offering as some
thing unusual and lovely. Lanvin has
a gown in It,. The material is georgette
and the combined color is beige. There
is slip of the Indian red, and over
this medieval chemise without
sleeves, aecordian plated, and held In
by a loose belt covered with a design
which Is familiar to those who are
stopped at every station in the far
West by Indians offering their wares.
There is division among the en-
broiderers In France. Some cling to
the fioriated designs which have run
through French history like the
French language. Others take I'D the
primitive Indian designs and use
them boldly and effectively.

twelve years old they had lived in Mexico

peaceful, happy years she did not see her
step-father. He had come to Europe, but
never to England-she did not know why.
And after England she had been for a
short time in New York at convent.
Then the revolution had come in Mexico,

that might even, he had said, separate

He had said so. And she knew it-she
knew it!
She had dropped into low chair, and
now she raised her hands and pressed

wonder-hours of her life. She felt his

she had heard steps outside her door.
