reading public, although It Is doubtful
f 1t ever again will ascend to the
heights OF popularity on which II stood
some twenty years ago. Now the au-
thor of Donald McElroy, Scotch Irish
man believes in the destiny of the ro-
mantle. historical novel and very effec-
lively he has made use Of It as ve-
hicle to record the considerable part
played by the Scotch-Irish in this coun-
try's struggle for independence The
hero symbolizes all the sturdiness of that
clan, while the exploits Of Captain Nor
gan. the Indian fighter, and Of George
Rogers Clark in opening up the north
west are related in picturesque man
ner. The love story OF Donald, although
barren OF any surprises. is carried above
the ordinary by the moral struggle of
Ellen, gowing out of her unfulflled vow
10 take the vow. IT would have been
more fortunate IL she had been made
to change. her mind through the medium
OF some great crisis rather than to
nave at length submitted ,taniely to her
desires, all of which leads one to ask
II this conscienoe-struggle is worthy of
the emphasis accorded. It.

Five Plays by Moeller

Followers of the little theatre move
ment will be compensated for a reading
OF the one-act comedies which Philip
Moeller elects to call Five Somewhat
Historical Plays" They are scintillat-
ing little pieces. for the most part lit
erary burlesques, which were produced
first by the Washington Square players
noted among the little theatre organi-
cations, and since then played many
times in the little theatre communities.
Their author has achieved a literary
manner quite his own and his comedies
are distinguished by an overpowering
,rreverence for tradition. Likewise en-
gaging is their buoyancy of spirit.

n-r hair? She IL short and stout. has
thlck hair and black. | wanted some way
that would make her little thinner and
taller and Of course younger. l. r
In order TO look taller a woman should
wear her hair in long roll or psyche
directly on top OF her head The hair
should be parted a little at one side,
the front part drawn down slightly over
the forehead and the sides brushed softly
Then the back is drawn high and coiled
in the long knot which reaches from
the top TO the middle of the back of the
head This will add height give a
"drawn-out' appearance and is at the
same time a youthful but dignificd way
of wearing the hair.
