1T does not appear. however that any

the simmer subdued by clouds of softly-veiling chiffon. In the third act, Miss Claire, masquerading as the mysterious and alluring siren with "a past" wears really thrilling gown ot flame colored chiffon velvet, pulled back tightly to show the contours of the figure and draped into a tul1e and velvet hustle of exaggerated dimen- sions. The corsage is topped-as far as it goes-with hesh colored tu1le and straps. In her new play, "The Wooing of Eve" Miss Laurette Taylor wears some very fetching gowns, one in par ticular of beetroot velvet with a gray squirrel wrap. In the first act she has a charming frock of reseda green with a black satin tunic embroidered in green chenille.
 Many Lace Gowns In This Seasons
 Plays.
 Everybody knows now-or almost everybody-thatl lace is particularly fashionable this winter and is going to be even more fashionable next sum- mer. The new costumes being made ready for Palm Beach show that, as well as the stage clothes.
 A brilliant gown worn by Julia Dean in "On With The Dance' will interest most women. One of the striking stage gowns of the season is this; nothing handsomer is likely to be seen before the footlights. Of

with her costumes. This gown has a chiffon velvet skirt on which is founce of chanilly lace. The loose bodice and sash are of brocaded chif- ion over satin meteor. The hat is a typical Jane Cowl hat in shape and manner. of trimming. In the Spread ing Dawn" the picture play written by Jane Cowl and Mrs. Murflin, Miss Cowl wears a quaint velvet costume with trailing skirt, short buttoned jacket and plumed hat which are as becoming to her slim grace as the modern frocks which fall to her lot in most of her stage impersonations.
 Stage NegHgees Of The Season.
 Miss Violet fleming is so altogether alluring in her short-sleeved peignoir of satin with it's little nosegays and it's Medici collar Of wired silver lace, that everybody is pronouncing this the prettiest stage negligee of the season. Perhaps the simplest negligee of the winter is the one worn by Eileen Huban in "Grasshopper." This almost classic robe of white velvet has flow ing sleeves that show an interesting circular cut In Polly With Past, " Miss Anne Meredith wears golden yellow velvet gown in which she looks exactly like a Fra Angelica madonna. It is not negligee-in the play but it gives some wonderful teagown suggestions, with it's lovely lines and it's fringed sash of self-material. Per- haps in Polly With a Past" are grouped the most interesting stage | clothes of the season. Miss Ina Claire wears in this Belasco production sev- eral stunning costumes, one of which is pictured today-an evening frock all sparkling sequins and metal lace,

rest she must be ready again for the evening performance. But anyone who has visited a Star in her dressing room knows what a joke that "brief rest" is! There are newspaper inter- viewers; there are letters to be looked over; there are callers (many of whom have to be turned away), and there are telephone messages by the score. A delightful room is the dressing room of Laurette Taylor; a room fur nished in rose chintz and more artis- tcally lighted than the usual theatre dressing room. The walls are hung with many signed photographs of well known folks in the literary and dramatic world and on table and dresser, in addition to lovely flowers, are many little knick-knacks-which speak of the affection and admiration of hosts of friends.
 When the evening performance is over Miss Taylor goes straight home and after bite of supper, reads in bed until the wee snla' hours; reads her tense, wrought-up nerves-high- keyed by the performance into which she has put all her physical energy and all her soul-into a quiet that admits the possibility of sleep. When asked what books she reads to make herself sleepy in these dead-of-night hours when most people who have been enthralled by her acting are snoozing peacefully on their pillows, she replied: "Oh, sometimes serious books, and sometimes novels-any- thing not too exciting"
 It .is in summer time that she does most of her serious reading-perhap when the weather does not permit of Naying out of doors. Character study absorbs her most. She is deeply in- terested in biographies and even in story books that bring out develop ment of character, and. of course, some delving into psychology accom- panies the analysis of character. It is in the delineation of character that Laurette Taylor's ambition lies, and to one who has marked the course of this young star through the past

for. And a lace gown is well within the means of the woman who must economize in dress. While a lace cos tune may be excessively expensive. it may also be quite cheap-and look very well indeed. There are quanti- ties of net top lace founcings which make charming frocks, and these com bined with the allover nets and a few medaI1ions of good quality often evolve really stunning effects. Miss Ina Claire in the second act of Polly With A Past" wears a black lace gown of this semi-fornal type, the bodice over an untransparent silk lin- ing from the deep lace yoke down to the black satin sash; the skirt made of two deep lace f1ouneings, over a white satin underslip. The sleeves are of black net, the lace yoke ex- tending down over them at the top and deep cuffs of the lace reaching up to the elbows. White face -f52-.,8 over blue satin frocks, or ecru lace tunics over gold colored satin frocks are effective for afternoon wear and such costumes are not beyond the achievement of any woman who can shop expert1y and direct her home dressmaker.

few seasons, her accomplishment along this line of her ambition is inn pressive. She admits that she is a woman of one idea-success in the thing she has undertaken to do; and declares that she has no time for small pursuits-for fads, in short. She has the sort of capability that can turn hand to anything, how ever. "She can cook-oh marvellous ly!-if she had time to bother with it" declares a member of her house. hold She knows how to knit? ''Oh, yes, but there is no time" 'She picks up bit of sewing now and then" vouchsafed a maid who was asked this question while Miss Taylor was answering one of the numerous phone calls that interrupted the chat, "Oh, yes, she knows how to sew anything but she never has time.''
 Laurette Taylor knows all about preparedness in the garden. She can make anything groW-from beans to Jack roses. She is versed in garden lore and can talk as one who knows about soil, fertilizers, planting seasons and so on; but she speaks lightly of her garden Knowledge most oth- CT things in her life, outside her earn est ideal of work and of success in that work, her plants and flowers are incidents to be taken casually, as side issues in life.
 Her personality impresses you rest fully. You feel sub-consciously tremendous reserve of energy, of vi- tality, of capability, all concentrated to one supreme end; her outward i'm pression on you is one of gentle cour- tesy, of exquisite boise, of a fine re- straint in manner and gesture that results obviously from an inward serenity and balance unharassed by nerves" or self-consciousness It is this natural restraint, contrasted with moments of great emotional feeling that make Laurette Taylor's acting so fascinating and so compelling. She admires particularly the Spanish school of acting; it's dignity, it's re- strafnt of gesture, with a perfect ex. pressiveness conveyed by more subtle art. "A1l my plays" she says, 'are working up to one big pfay-after awhile. Some day you will see what mean"

Color Scheme In Lieu of Smart Furniture

 M charming mahogany pieces in

 Sheraton style you yearn for you must get along with nondescript examples of late nineteenth century type, throw your furniture-so to speak-into the background by centering the chief in terest in your rooms in color scheme. If walls are modern and correct and hangings chosen with an artistic eye, the furniture will really matter very little; and attractive wall papers and hangings of chintz in agreeable color and pattern cost vastly less than Chip pendale and Hepplewhite mahogany.
 There are stains and paints too, which will accomplish wonders with old fashioned furniture; and uphoIs- tery of modern and artistic design can accomplish even greater wonders. Suppose, for instance, you have an oak dining room set which is an eye sore every time you look at it. Try staining the pieces dark mission color, remove the clumsy bracket and glass

costume through three acts? And women have been known to decide for a play in which they know stun ming clothes abound, and against one however high it stands in the esd- nation of the critics-which depicts a phase of life that calls for nothing particular in the way of costume.
 Stage Evening Gowns A Feast For
 The Eyes.
 There is so little brilliant gowning this winter-clothes are so quiet and dignified in character-that it is a positive delight to turn to the superb costumes behind the footlights. One is glad indeed of these beautiful stage clothes. Like the illustrations in a fascinating book, they brighten the spirit for little while and help one to forget foP a few hours at least that the world is plunged in horror and bloodshed. No one wants to for get the great trouble, which is her trouble or his trouble as much as anybody else's, but when the burden is heavy and the sky is dark, thrice grateful should one be to the men and women of the stage who offer intel , lectual and artistic enjoyment and that stimulus and inspiration that make for good spirits and for courage Ann Murdock And Her Sam Browne
 The military powers-that-be have decreed that no officer, not on active duty, may wear Sam Browne belt | Therefore officers here 1n America are denied this exceedingly natty finishing touch to a trig uniform which officers at the front may indulge in. The first photograph of General Pershing sent back from "Over There" showed

a Sam Browne buck1ed across his sol dierly figure and every youthful stu dent officer at Plattsburg sent for a Sam Browne instanter. But alas, the Sam Browne is reserved as stern in signia of active service at the front and may not be sported gaily like the walking stick, with any second lieu tenant uniform. One wonders how Miss Ann Murdock got permission to wear the Sam Browne, but here it is, 1auntIy crossing the jacket of her olive drab soldier costume. The mili- tary overcoat is quite in the picture and as for the hat-well, only Ann Murdock could wear it in quite this way! Rapidly is this enchanting little actress stepping into Billie Burke's shoes and becoming the idol of the matinee girl, now that dainty Billie Burke, though not day older in ap- pearance, has become a matron and a mother.
 Jane Cowl's Frocks Always Charm.
 An actress of distinctly different type yet equal fascination, is Jane Cowl, whose costumes are copied per AapS S1S H1uCu aS any SLdSe clothes. Women of Jane Cowl's type-and women not at all of her type and entirely lacking her grace and her classic lines-study her frocks and carry home ideas for their own use The notable features of Miss CowTs costumes seem to be simplicity and dignity and on no other. actress do | fabrics and furs seem to fall with more exquisite and a1luring grace The gown worn by Miss Cow1 in one of her recent plays, pictured today, is illustrative of the grace and sim | plicity just spoken of in connection

superstructure from the sideboard, and fasten fiat cushions of dull blue rep in the chairs with brass headed tacks driven through narrow black gimp. Paper the walls in dull blue as far down as plate rail depth. Be low, stretch stout canvas and on this arrange narrow wood moulding in squares and oblongs to initiate panel ing. The moulding must be mitred where the sections join and the panels must be arranged with perfect accur' acy. Then go over the whole-canvas and moulding with dark mission paint. If there is no plate rail, a strip of the moulding will make a neat finish at the top of the "paneling." Hang curtains of blue rep in the windows with inner curtains of white net or madras. For side table and dining table make linen pieces in grayish tan with dull blue embroidery in sim pie, conventional design. The floor, if not hardwood, may be stained and partly covered with an inexpensive blue rug. And behold a dining room that will delight your heart!

she is grown up and an actress of high repute while she breathes deep of sea air, runs about the tennis court, swims in deep water, sails all day long, storing up energy and magnetism for the winter of keen work ahead.
 Laurette Taylor is one of the for tunate beings who have two homes; one for work time and one for play time. The winter home is a charm ing apartment taking up almost whole floor, high up in New York apartment house; an apartment fur nished for utmost comfort and not for show, and with wide windows that command view of the city, spread out like a panorama far below. There are some wonderful Italian and Span ish furnishings in this apartment, things picked up during travels abroad. Miss Taylor admits an ad- miration for the dignifed and impres- sive Italian and Spanish pieces and has a specially fine collection of Italian wall panels, ancient carvings dark and rich in tone. She has some fine tapestries also, and some rare old okH14AoA Iu1SS1On IL udS dl- ways seemed to me such a pity,'' she declares, that the Italians did not use rugs. Their rugs would have been so beautiful-if there had been any!"
 In this winter home, Miss Taylor's life runs on schedule basis. For this is her work time, remember, and she takes work very seriously. She break lasts about ten, then comes syste- matic exercise, then lunch and after lunch, the matinee. On days when she is free from the matinee, there are appointments with photographer or dressmaker, interviews with her manager, and so on. Since these aft ernoons offer the only free" hours (excepting on Sundays), and since a good many of the hours must be given to business of one sort or another, 1t will be seen that a star has little opportunity for social diversions. Very often, on matinee day. Miss Fay lor's dinner is served in her dressing room at the theatre and after a brief

course, the richness is all in the ma terials used, nothing could be simpler than the lines of the gown, straight from shoulder to hip, with a broad sash to give contour to the silhouette. The bodice and tunic are of gold and silver tissue with dashes of color in stripe effect. Collar, cuffs and deep flounce on the tunic are of black car acul. The hat with it's barbaric ar engagement of Paradise feathers is chic beyond words. The cloth of gold and silver bodice opens to show a wide vest, which is made of layers of flesh colored tulle and chiffon, the materials forming a perfectly modest vest which is not even decollete, but which is invisible at little distance, giving a rather startling effect.
