NEW MIDDLETON
BRIDE ENTERTAINED

One of the seasons most beautiful
entertainments was the miscellaneous
shower given by Mrs. A. T. Morris at
her home in New Middleton Thursday
afternoon to compliment Miss Willie
Stevens, whose wedding to Mr.. Robert
Downing of Manchester took place
January z. The home was beautifully
decorated in holly and mistletoe. The
presents from forty friends were pre-
scented to the bride by little Misses
Mary Meador Bridges and Margaret
Smith, who wore dainty frocks of
white organdy. Another interesting
feature of the afternoon was that of
writing good wishes on hand-painted
cards for Miss Stevens. Mrs. Morris
was assisted in entertaining by Misses
Gladys Terry, Lena Bradford and Mrs.
Jack Bradford. A delicious salad
course was served in the dining room.
Miss Stevens was very becomingly
gowned in Blue French serge, with
which she wore black picture hat.
Her corsage bouquet was of pink car

An Interesting Story-Most celeb

Pekingese. George NJ. Cohan collects
violins In fact, he has the largest
private collection in America.
Conan divides his collection into
two general divisions-rare instru-
ments of historical value, which he
has bought and paid for; and fiddles
have been given to him. Among the
latter he particularly treasures his first
gift violin and his last.
The first was a half-siZed instru-
ment, presented to him at the age of
eight by his father, the late Jere j.
Cohan. 1t was with this fiddle that
George NJ. Cohan, when ten years old.
made his stage debut at Boston
vaudeville theater. That day toy
maker from Cape Cod sat in the audi
ence. He was on his honeymoon,
and this was his first experience as
a playgoer. He never fotgot George
Cohan.
AS the years passed, the Cape Cod
der watched Cohans career, through
the newspapers, as song-writer, au-
thor, manager and Broadway pro-
ducer. But he never gave up his
dream of hearing the boy virtuoso
once again, in the honeymoon pro-
gram of thirty years ago.
And sometimes dreams come true.
And also it is small world.

Cape Cod author, wrote "Shavings."

own resources in the woods. To test
out these theories the professor goes

Hates to BE Called "Ingenue."-
Those who wish to be on friendly
terms with Grace Valentine must be
careful in referring to her stage work
never to designate her as an 'in-
genue."
The only thing "ingenuish" about
this young actress is her age and
trimness of figure. but at this point
comparisons cease. For it can truth
fully be said of her that her wide
range of experience in stock and with
repertoire companies is comparable
only to the adolescent experiences OF
women like Mrs. Fiske and Maude
Adams.
Starting with small mid-western
repertoire company, one of those
genial family organizations in which
each member leads a protean exist
ence, Miss Valentine served an ap-
premiership that was trying as well
as educating. Finally, getting to the
WI he nj
leading roles, she played out of Chi
cago in one of those companies which
carried theatrical light to the commu-
mites in the middle west and south
