ADJUSTMENTS
Ruth Chatterton.

A charming actress whose PERSONAL
fty is so closely linked with pleasant
recollections in this city as that OF
Ruth Chatterton naturally creates
pr edisposition in favor of any play
in which she may appear. She is the
embodiment of unassuming grace, and
in her portraitures impresses pleasant
and wholesome ideals of thought and
conduct without taking on any of .ne
airs of preachment or propaganda.
The title of the play. The Merrie
Month of May" in which she appears
at the National Theater. is a joyous
beEir ming, and if some Of the
thou ghts which arise during the story
invite to serious reflection the invi-
tations are issued with so much neli-
cacy and tactfulness that response is
a pleasure and not a duty. Miss Chat
taiton has thc role of senator's
daughter, Mr.; Scarborough. the au-
thor of the play. skillfully modern.
ICES little incident in 2 very old
play. an incident that was old even
when the old play was written. and
makes it, suffice for the theme Of full
evenings performance.
This wise little Portia does not en-
ploy three cnskets to test the devo-
tion of her three suitors, as did the
heroine of The Merchant of Venice"
She eliminates the element of chance
and makes the test entirely one of
character and devotion. The story Of
sighted affection which has blighted
the life of her aunt she adopts as her
own biography without attempting to
check any inference which the mind
OF worldly suspicion would be in
clined to draw. The process of elimi-
nation goes on in a manner which af
fronts neither romance nor probabil-
ity. The man worth while does not
weaken under the influence of self
inflicted calumny and by starting on
the the warpath for the mythical mis-
clever counterplot involving her
father and his f1ancee utilizes the
same idea, the lady with past prov
ing in this case also an unreality. eX-
ceptfng as to her entirely agreeable
and eligible self. 1t illustrates
quaint trait by no means uncommon
in humanity which tempts people to
be falsely self-accusing rather than
remain utterly uninteresting in the
eyes Of the world.
The dangerous game is played out
with so much tact and skill and with
a little luck to prevent innocence from
losing the rather reckless wager of
LIES happiness that it makes for an
evening Of Maytime mood. Spirited
conversation assists the action as de-
livered by highly competent assem-
blage Of players. The young ranch
HdHdser is pidyeo Win ehceiienl ell

bridge is amusingly foppish in char

of brush. Peter could see the place
where Buster had crawled in. Un-
derneath Buster was a fine bed of
leaves. They looked very much as if
they must have been brought there.
Peter wondered If Buster had brought
them there. AS a matter of fact Bus
ter had, for Buster is one who be-
lieves in being comfortable. 1t was
quite warm and cozy underneath that
great pile of brush. Peter noticed
that right away.
Tor a long time he sat and stared
at Buster. Buster didn't move. Not
SO much as one of Busters toes
twitched He didn't move any more
than if he were dead. Peter began
to wonder IL it might be that Buster
watching the more it seemed as If
Buster must he dead. The thought
that he might be dead made Peter
grow bolder. He crept all around
Buster. Quite by accident he touched
one of Busters feet. Still Buster
the more as if Buster must be dead.
But by and by Peter discovered
something that made him scurry back
under the brush for safety. He dis
covered that Buster was breathing.
Buster was asleep. At this discovery
Peter was SO frightened that he start
ed to run away, but he didn't reach
the outside edge of the brush pile
before his dreadful curiosity got the
better of him. After while he even
crept back. and there sat and watched
for long time. Then quite without
knowing just why, it came over Peter

Peter Makes a Surprising
Discovery.

When Peter Rabbit got back to the
place where he had first discovered
Buster Bear he found that he could
see nothing except a great mas; of
fur. Peter stayed there just long
enough to peek and then in a sudden
panic of fear ran back the way he
had come. Then he sat still for a
long time listening. There was no
sound so once again Peter grew bold.
He began to creep around underneath
the brush to reach the other side,
hoping that he could get better view
of Buster Bear.
1t took Peter a. long time to get
around there, because, you know, after
each step he stopped to listen and to
work up his courage. In some places
it was easy going. but in others he
had to crawl under tree trunks and
broken limbs. But Peter can get
through very small places. and after
while he reached the place he had
started for.
Holding his breath, he peeped out
from under the trunk of a fallen tree.
There. just in front of him, lay Bus
ter Bear. Buster was in a kind of
a little cave made by the great pile
