for their gowns France. for instance
put prohibitive prices on things SO
small as oxford ties, and then ohere"
forated kid. as we'll as dozens of
blouses of colored kid. America
threw out thousands of leather coat
suits, topcoats and belted jackets
and often a leather coat was not much
more costly than pair of high boots
What was the reason" Can any one
, tell? There was a discrepancy some
where in the statements that leather
was high-priced and difficult to get
and that it was cheap and easy to find.
There you are. It's topSy-turFE
world, anyhow.
Now. here comes along the startling
surprise of linen gowns. The people
uho sell household linen have fed us
up on the continual statement that
cotton is the necessary thing to use.
The linen of the world has vanished,
say those who offer a pair OF linen
sheets at staggering price. ana theE
add that the Belgian workers are no
| more, that the River Lys. on which
the linen of half the world was
bleached. has become a long grave for
thousands. and no longer serves as a
bed to prepare the luxury of a rich
world.
So far. SO good. The best people
lieved they could not rest except IN
linen. Now the world has adjusted
itself to the use of muslin. Women
with bit of extra money left from
the high cost Of living grabbed what
ever sheets or pillowcases they could
afford last year in the hopes that they
could keep this luxury in their house
holds to the end of their lives.
Linen for All Garments.
Now. on top of this genuine or al
legged condition, there comes the intro
also quantities of frocks. hats. sepa-
rate skirts and tunic blouses. 1t is to
be a linen season.
From where did the linen come? 1t
is in green. pink, blue; it is white and
unbleached. 1t is made up with stitch
cry, organdy, leather, with oilcloth
and Irish crochet lace. Whatever the
disrupted is Irish Industry. the Amer
lean woman is to have. evidently. as
many linen frocks as she pleases.
The sketch shows a linen gown in
bright green. the color of the hour
which matches the spring, but was
actually suggested by the introduc-
ton of Egyptian apparel. 1t is made
distended and the he mlonger than the
white lawn slip over which it is
dropped. The lawn is tucked in
squares and extends to the chest in
order to form a sketchy blouse. There
are also lawn sleeves in the linen
bodice. if one may call these pieces
of material by the strong name of
sleeves.
The hat is of the eighteenth CEN
tury type, which has come back into
fashion, and it is made of white lawn
and green linen.

The First Rhubarb.

II is always a delight when rhubarb
first appears in the seasonable market,
for it adds zest and taste to the spring
diet as perhaps no other offering Of
the spring market does.
Remember when buying rhubarb to
get it tender. That is not difficult now.
1t is later on, when the stalks are
tough and the leaves are big. that
this is difficult thing to do.
One of the best ways to cook rhu-
barb is to soak it for an hour in cold
water. then to cut the stalks into inch
lengths and then to cook them. in a
double boiler, without water. Sweeten
when cooked.
When removing the skin from rhu-
barb be careful not to cut too deeply
into the stalk. as the pink that is just
under the thin skin adds an attractive
color to cooked rhubarb. marmalade.

In her living room the old-fashioned

decorative design in vines and cornu

fireplace opening. She had picked out
the design in orange. blue. yellow and

SCARCITY OF GOOD PRODUCTIONS IS
 DUE TO LACK OF GOOD ACTORS

Dorothy Philips declares in a state ment just issued that the scarcity of good productions is due wholly to a lack of good actors and actresses. This, no doubt, is quite blow to those who have contended that tha dearth of stories is responsible for the scarcity of high standard pho topIays, and Miss Phillips declara- ticn should prove of exceptional in- terest to the industry as g. whole.
 Miss Phillips says:
 t'It is not a dearth of stories adapt able for the screen that is causing the scarcity of really good pictures which, it is said, exhibitors are be- ginning to feel It is the scarcity of capable actors and actresses. There are no limitations to the cam era in depicting thoughts, ideas or actions thai have yet been discovered and I do not believe that any limi- tations ever will be discovered. A sufficiency of capable people to de- pict stories will relieve the. shortage of good pictures.
 There are more people available for casting now than ever before. Really capable actors and actresses are being discovered every day, but a year ago a star was thought capa- ble of turning out at least twelve features a year; it has been found

Poli Players
 Present New v. -e..., Farce Comedy

In Marry The Poor Girl" which opens at the Lyric theater this after noon for one week, the author has succeeded in combining all the attri- butes of a good, wholesome farce comedy without touching the things that make a play ribald Marry The Poor Girl'' is clean com cdy and will tickle the disabilities of performances daily with a special New Years matinee on Saturday.
 The story of the play is all about a young man who is engaged to one girl and by the purest accident finds himself in the room of another at a weekend party. The girl is also en- gagged to another man but mamma dear finds the young man in the room and calling papa to her assistance force the two to marry against their wishes Solicitious friends want to prevent this marriage and hustle z bout to supply makc-beliGVe wife. One brings q vamp into play and the ether finds another girl willing to play the part for a consideration, but none. of the friends know that the marriage has already been consum- mated.
 Although the happy couple felt that they could not live without the enc to whom they had been engaged, they fall in love with each other and ia the end are happier than they could ever have been if they had married t1eoir choice. The produc- tion was built only for laughing pur- poses.
