Miss Grace La Rue has often been
termed the best-dressed woman on
the American stage. but in Dear
Me" at the National she proved that
she could act as well as sing and
wear beautiful gowns During the
first part of this charming little play
with music Miss La Rue wore a ging-
ham dress and apron, in her part OF
'slavey" at a home for artistic fail
ures. but later. of course. she rose to
be a successful singer, and made up
for the early plainness of garb by
wearing a number of stunning crea-
tions.
An unusual wrap of gray Kittens
ear crepe is illustrated. 1t was made
with a yoke and kimono sleeves. with
the satin side OF the fabric upper
most, while the remainder of the gar
ment showed the crepe weave. krim-
mer fur formed the collar and cuffs
and Miss La Rue's chic toque was also
of the soft curly gray fur. A lining OF
French blue was visible at the front
opening of the coat. and harmonized
with the blue beading which appeared
on the gray Canton crepe dress worn
with it.

Views of Conference
Filmed In One Minute

THE filming of the disarmament
conference in session at Washing
ton. the most historical motion pic
lures ever made. were taken in exactly
one minute. That is all the time that
was allowed the cameramen and other
representatives who sought a celluloid
record of the famous event.
The lights were turned on sharply at
II o'clock. and just sixty seconds later
they were turned off again by the Wash
ington officials. Four Selznick News
camefamen. under the supervision of
Lawrence Darmour. had their apparatus
ready and in position hours ahead OF
time to insure against any mishap.
In spite of the very brief length of
time allowed them for such world
famous event. it is said, the camera
men were able to get views that were
not only clear but complete in every
way.
The news cameraman is called upon
to perform all sorts of trying and haz-
ardous stunts, often at the risk of life
and limb, in his untiring efforts to get
pictorial news for the work and always
1t must be done with speed and adroit-
ness. The filming of the disarmament
conference in one minute shows what
can be done under press of necessitZ.

rises there appeared a shrine and in it
a jeweled idol which a little oriental
maiden had come to worship. She wore
the costume pictured. which is of pale
green satin dotted with great sprawl
ing dragons. oddly mixed with delicate
lavender wiStaria blossoms. Yellow satin
bordered the huge sleeves. which. by
the way. are just the kind dictated by
Dame Fashion as the very last word
for milady's gown this season. More
bright canary satin finished the side
openings of the coat and the trouser

pearl tiara, from which fell shower
of yellow ribbons to mingle with the long
black queues at the. back. The dance

from the girdle of the idol, which leads
to a dramatic climax.

That Word ssXuLe. -

"VULE-TIDE". approaches, and we
shall hear a good deal of the
yule-log. In olden times they laid
stress on "yule-candle" and on "yule-
cake" In very olden times. 500, 700
years ago. they spoke of 'yule-
dough" or 'yule-baby," which was
dough cut out in the form of little
boy or little girl and baked and
which it was the custom of bakers
to present to their customers at
Christmas.
"Yule" is derived either from Scan
dinavian or Anglo-Saxon, and there
are four times as many explanations
or guesses at the original meaning
of the word as there are letters in
it. 1t has been said that "yule-log"
is a corruption of "ale-log," and it is
set down in old chronicles that it was
a custom in England, more especially
in the county of Norfolk and other
parts of the north, to allow tenants
and retainers of the lord of the
manor to drink the best or strong
est ale as long as the yule-log
servants were interested in cutting
the thickest and longest-burning log
that they could find in the lords
forest. 1t was cut as long as the
fireplace was wide and knotty oak
was usually chosen. To the ashes Of
the yule-log were ascribed certain
efficacious properties and they were
gathered from the fireplace with
care. For one thing, they were mixed
with cattle feed to preserve the ami
mails from disease and also to cure
them of any disease. Scattered on
the land the ashes of the yule-log
protected crops against blight.
There are authorities" who say
that the yule-log was the center. Of

naHi-.ns lighted in honor of their god

Thor at about the time of the win
ter solstice, and that Christmas, COM
ing at about the time of the winter
solstice, the yule-log burning was
continued by the Scandinavians after
their conversion to Christianity. An
other story is that the Christian mis-
sionaries after converting the north
down a large tree, hew from it's
trunk a heavy log and then burn
that log as a symbol that they re-
nounced their heather gods. This
formal renunciation of paganism and
induction into Christianity was often
tian celebration Of the birth of Christ.
tian celebration Of the birth of Christ
and it is said that in this way the
yule-log came to be a part Of the
celebration of Christmas.
Crosse. in his Provincial Glossary,
tells that in the north of England
the servants set aside large and
knotty log for their Christmas fire,
entitled to ale with their meals
The yule-log was burned by the
Gauls in France after they became
Christians, and it is written that they,
like the people to the north of them,
made bonfires in celebration of the
press their joy that days were get
ting longer and nights shorter-a
celebration in honor of the victory of
light over darkness. The early
Christians in France would light the
yule-log at Christmas eve and burn it
at certain times until Twelfth-night.
With these Christian Gauls the ashes
of the yule-log' not only had remedial
virtues but if kept in the house would
preserve it against fire and against
being struck by lightning.
'Yule" is spelled in SO many. ways
by the early writer's that it is con-
fusing and one cannot always make
out that ''yule" is meant. A clear
and frequent way of spelling it in
the middle ages was "ewle." Some
writer's have hit upon a theory that
there is a connection between the
words "yule" and "yowr' or howl" /"
and that it was the "yowling- -time''
or the time for making noise and
being festive-the time Of greatest
.revelry of the year.

A Wonderful Cake.

THE tabled pie which contained four
and twenty bIackbirds, which we
read of in Mother Goose, was put in
the shade by a mammoth cake which
was made for novelty scenes in
Thomas Meighan's latest picture. "A
Prince There Was"
After the excitement is all over and
the hero marries the heroine and
they move to their big country home
a ceremony is shown wherein a huge
wedding cake is opened. From this
cake, which was as large as a small
house, comes a Shetland pony upon
which is mounted a little child. Some
fifty children. dafntily dressed, then
proceed from the inside of the cake,
and then there is one grand party in
honor of the lovers and their little
adopted girl, who was formerly the
little drudge at the boarding house,
but the one who started the romance
by bringing the prince" and the bride
together.
