EAST DOVER.
Warning to Light-Fingered Parties.

The East Dover people would be
ashamed to admit that we have sneak
thieves among u, but the mysterious
shrinking of woodpiles, and the disap-
pearance of marked sticks of wood,
and last Saturday night the fight of
two persons from q nearby woodshed on
the approach of the owner, evidently
unexpected, confirmed our suspicious
long since aroused. 1t has been sug-
gested that explosives concealed in
sticks of wood might lead to discoveries
but such Hun method probably will
not be employed. We hope this item
will come under the eye of the light fin,
gered parties and that they will take
warning.

lions which one can make.
There is something particularly
graceful about the dress with the
draped skirt, as | said before, and the
model Illustrated here has many inter
esting features. The draped collar re-
peats the effect of the skirt There
is just the right amount of fulness in
the waist, for the back comes forward
on the shoulder, forming yoke which
holds the soft pleats. The sleeves are
very novel; half loose, half tight, and
the skirt has the one sided draperv that
is so modish this season. The line of
the vest, too, is a becoming one, and
altogether the whole effect is pleasing.

OUR WEEKLY FASHION LETTER
New Fashions That Are Sponsored by Summer-Col-
larless Effects Are Very Popular

without trimming, for not even sash
is worn, though a girdle of soft ribbon
could be used if desired. The skirt is
pleated at the. high waistline, and is
draped on the side. Any of the soft
summer materials could be used for
developing this design. Wolfe is par
ticularly good, and soft silk, too, makes
up eharmingly.
This is no new style feature, and
yet it is one of the most effective of
the summer modes Some of the com
binations strike us as trifle queer at
first, but they are really interesting,
and as a rule there is very good rea-
son behind the seeming inconsistency
For instance there are many combina-
tons of Georgette crepe and linen.
Georgette crepe washes perfectly and
keeps its dainty appearance far longer
than either wolfe or organdie, the two
most natural materials to combine with
| linen. Then, too, silk and satin are
| often used to trim the pique or other
/ cotton frock Printed chiffons have
pique or organdie collars and vests,
! and the organdie sash with the ging-
ham silk is absolutely bewitching
There are stunning separate sports
skirts, too, with deep pockets of satin,

There are many little developments
of the summer fashions that are abso
lutely fascinating. What could be more
adorable than the wide sun hats made
of straw and taffeta interviewer, with
perhaps a knitting bag to match? Then,
too, the organdie hats with their high
crowns of taffeta or satin and wee
silken roses in pastel shades are abso-
lutely bewitching worn with the fluffy
frock of organdie or wolfe. One hat of
beige colored organdie had a knife
pleated ruf1le on the edge of the brim,

TO the wheel of Il sex complex is an in
teresting one and has dramatic possi-
bilities. These may be developed in
farce or in comedy or tragedy, but the
author must choose one out of the
three, and Malleson wants to use two.
The serious phases of his play, except
IN few instances. are clumsy. although
sincere, while the atmosphere of stage
life which surrounds the plot is de-
lightful and cleverly maintained. 1t
doesn't help the story to- any particular
eXtents because that might be developed d
IN a newspaper Office, or a stationary
engine foundry, or fried fish shop, as
we'll as in Il theatre. The author
should have thrown his play away and
kept his atmosphere.
Saxon King gave an excellent per-
formance as the playwright of the sup
pressed passions. He was by no means
agreeable, but the author had not given
him much chance for that. Marjorie
Nonnegut was simple and forceful as
the girl. and Edward Flammer gave a
highly amusing performance as the
producer. Arthur Hohl played a serious
part with dignity and feeling, and Ed
ward Balzert was amusing. Others in
the cast were Jay Strong, James Ter
bell and Helen Westley.

An appeal in verse for Americans to

of Patrolman John J.. Chapman, the
poet laureate" Of the police force. He
IS attached to the 277th Precinct and
first plunged into literary distinction
with 4 song on Liberty bonds.
The poem:

y outh," at the Comedy Theatre. A
play by Miles Malleson. Presented by
inc Washington Square players.
THE CAST
By FIevwood Broun

A strange play called "Youth' was
presented at the Comedy Theatre last
night by the Washington Square
Players. ii began in the mood of
"Charlie's Aunt and ended in the
spirit of "Thc Awakening of Spring"
After all, when an author has sent his
play considerable distance in one
direction he must keep on. If one
character pokes another in the ribs and
inquiries, "Who was that lady ] seen
you walking down the street with 2"
the audience has right tc expect that
the answer will be- "That was no lady;
that was my wife" The walker may
not answer, "That was no lady and
that was not my wife" But, after all,
why marry? What is marriage but a
survival Of property rights? How can
a man promise to do things the fulfil
ment Of which is entirely probemati~
cal? The element which sanctities the
marriage relation is not :; little mum
bling By man in a surplicc. Only love
can sanctify, and if there is love mar
riage is a profanation.'
Miles Malles0n does exactly that, al
though those arc not his words. His
play begins and continues for the en-
tire first act as Il satirical farce
comedy about the theatre. A scene is
set and the lights are rehcarsed and
20 wrong and the curtain sticks. and
Il hundred true little touches of the
theatre shown.
The play upon which the company is
working is evidently a talliy drama by
: ,,,u ,.-j,
bodies and "our passions" and does
much talking about them in and out
of his drama. All this is exceedingly
amusing, but suddenly we find in the
second act that we must accept the
talky young dramatist seriously. Ho
Is a ncurotlc young man suffering from
q seN complex and is just about at
the breaking point when he falls il,
love with the heroine in his play. She
loves him and they are about to marry
when he decides that he doesn't believe
IN matrlmony and wont 20 on. She
then says that she doesn't believe in
It either, but again q happy ending is
spolled, tor the young mans father, q
comic clergyman, appears and forbids
his son TO form a free love union

Aggrieved Party
Cannot See Fault

When you telieye that you are the
agerieved party Is is. to say the
least, disconcerting to have a Presi-
dential Commission conclude that
you are the one chiefly at fault.
This disconcertion in the present
case is augmented by the fact thai
it SO closely precedes the meeting OF
tfc joint conference Even SO, it
IS probable that the conference will
have less trouble in approximating
the recommendations in the abstract
that it will in applying them in
working practice.
Take, for example. the recon-
mendation that profiteering be elm
mated during the war "as pre-
requisite to the best morale in in
-dustry.' As a general proposition,
both sides would vote unanimously
for it, but wien YOU come to formu-
