MISS IVY MADISON
IS AMATEUR RIDER

Az meeting Of the directors OF the
Association OF American Horse Shows
on Tuesday the status Of Miss Ivy Mad
oison was decided to be that of an anna
teur. Miss Madison is just graduating
from the children's classes, in which she
mas sometimes been debarred by The rule
which says the children of professionals
cannot compete as amateurs. Her
father. w. II. Madison OF Greenwich
IS prominent dealer in hunters and
saddle horses. The daughter is one OF
the star riders OF the show ring. She
has never ridden for hire, and this year
Is riding her own horse. Myopia, the
converted hunter Golf Ball. with which
she mas thus far won thirteen blue rib
Dons In saddle classes
Tho severe amateur rule concerning
children is doing the horse shows no
good, according to the opinion OF many
persons AT Mineola. for example, II
prevented little Miss Margaret Preece,
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Godfrey
Preece, from entering her winning sad
die pony Town Topics in the amateur
children's class. And il caused Miss
Madison to put UP little Miss 'Corinne
q V'ii Oii wy OplH. After hyOpld won,
with Miss Constance Regan's The Bru-
nette second, Mrs. Thomas J. Regan,
wife OF the vice-president of the West
chester Racing Association, lodged a
protest against both Miss Poth and
Miss Beatrice Bailey as not being eligi-
Bile TO ride as amateurs under the rule.
Mrs Regain said in explanation of her
action that she does not approve of the
strict rule. but does believe 1t should
either be strictly enforced or repealed
AS the upshot of this incident and
another not unlike il which occurred at
the New York spring horse show this
season little Miss Poth. one of the best
child riders the shows have even seen.
Is going to sell all her Bounce ponies
and hereafter give her undivided atten-
ton to her school books, so her father.
William Poth. Gays. He Is a wealthy busi-
ness man, who likes horses as we'll as
his little daughter does. and his close
connection with Charles Butler gave rise
10 the report last spring that he was a
silent partner in Mr.. Buffers BUSINESS
But this was emphatically denied by
both horsemen, whose statement was ac-
cepted by the committee in charge OF
the spring show at Durland's.

~RICHTON, butler in Lord Loans
London household, is man OF I'M
~ agination, education and ability, but
the system has doomed him to life OF
service. While accepting his station and
maintaining a degree of pride in his WORK,
he occasionally dreams of things as they
might have been under different clrcum-
stances He is the idol of Tweeny, a
kitchen maid, who makes up for her lack
of ina ginaton and crudeness by her great
love.
Lady Mary Lasenby. eldest daughter of
Crichton's master, is affianced to Lord
Brockelhurst, a representative OF the
aristocratic strata of British society. Her
beauty, daintiness and aristocratic mien
delight the discriminating soul of erich
ton. While Lady Mary appreciates the
sterling qualities of Brockelhurst, she re-
bells against the super civilization which
he eXemplities
Lord Loan, Lady Mary and her sister,
Agatha, the Hon Ernest W olley, young
and distant kinsman of Lord Loan, Ire
herne, a curate, Crichton and Tweeny,-
the last two named in the roles of valet
and maid respectively, start on yacht
cruise. Just before the departure of the
party, Lady Eileen Dun Craigie, close
friend of Lady Mary, comes to the latter
and asks her advice on hypothetical
love affair between woman OF society
and her chauffeur. Lady Mary is scath-
ing IN her denunciation of the woman
who would stoop to love man of inferior
station. Lady Eileen has told her own
story and disregards the advice OF Lady
Mary to the extent of shocking all society
by her elopement with Mcclure, the Dun
Craigie chauffeur.
While cruising in the South Pacific,
Lord Loans yacht is wrecked and the
entire party cast ashore on an uninhabit-
eI island. Thanks to Crichton's foresight

Big Special MALE AND FEMALE" Shown Monday and Tuesday
One and
CenSE Performance

many crude substitutes for civilized COM
forts are devised. In the end, Crichton
becomes veritable king, ruling his little
island domain and his half dozen subjects
wisely and well.
Other and more vital changes occur in
the souls and minds of the individuals
For instance, under Crichton's tutelage,
Lady Mary learns the value of self reli-
ance She learns to hunt and fish, sew
and cook; in a word she becomes a wom-
anly woman.
Romance enters into the lives of these
two hitherto widely separated people.
Perhaps the happiest moment of Mary's
lite- is when Crichton declares his great
love. Just as Treherne is about to offici-
ate at his almost forgotten duties of
clergyman, a ship is sighted off the coast
of the island In spite of the consequences
to himself and his happiness, Crichton
signals the ship and the party is rescued
Back in London, Crichton is speedily
forgotten by all but Lady Mary. Her
love-like Tweeny's-refuses to admit of
circumstances. But Crichton, with the
unfortunate example of Lady Eileen and
Mcclure fresh in mind, permits Mary to
see his proposing to Tweeny, and thereby
drives her back to the man who can real
ly make her contented, Lord Brockel-
hurst.
To remain servant where he had been
leader is unthinkable to Crichton, SO
accompanied by the faithful Tweeny,
Crichton turns his face to America, the
land where birth and position count fol-
little, and achievement tells. And with
this resolution to start anew, comes a
realization that after all, faithful little
Tweeny is the woman designed for him,
despite the beauty of his unforgotten TO-
nance with Lady Mary.
