W W rsToRICAL facts are not like
W lemons that may be squeezed
n N dry OF meaning in moment;
Ia H. rather, they are like living
plants through which new
Juices are constantly flowing, for new
interpretations of known events are
possible after scores OF years or even
centuries. This fact is made evident
by Professor Van Tyne's book, wherein
is presented q new conception that has.
been growing up during the last twenty
yaers as to the causes of the American
Revolution.
Beginning with discussion Of the
American spirit, of early eighteenth
century conditions in the colonies, and
OF the policies of Great Britain, the
author deals with all the principal acts
and situations leading up to the revolu-
tlon, including questions so diverse
as the Boston tea party and the social
and intellectual conditions in various
parts of the British Empire !. This en-
pire, concludes the author, twas
doomed to be broken asunder, but 1t
was brought to that disaster by the
insistent demand of Englishmen liz
America for the full enjoyment of
those liberties which England had
fostered beyond any other country in
the world"
In other words, thn liberal spirit of
England was Indirectly responsible
for the downfall of the English power
in America that liberal spirit com
bined with it's denial by George III and
the corrupt Parliament that served
under him. Had that Parliament
needed the appeal of the greatest
statesmen of the day to grant greater
freedom to the colonies the American
Revolution might never have occurred;
the rebellion was due largely To the
fact that the majority of the people in
England opposed the convictions of the
keenest minds in the country.

"a is hardly to be desired, for
4 u his portrayal OF animals
lends understanding to art.
In this story, however, the dog, assist
ed by grave Persian cat, plays but a
minor role. The theme is mystery and
the action melodrama. Mystery shrouds
the memory Of Black Caesar, the pirate
of the Florida keys, and surrounds the
Miami fruit farm where Glare Standish
and her brother live. Melodrama fol-
lows the appearance of Gavin Brice,
whose quick wit and mastery of jiu-
iitsu swiftly advance the unknoyr,
cause for which he is working. He
finds no mean opponent in Rodney
Hade, the arch villain, whose resource
never leaves him without at least two
cards up his sleeve. The vengeful de-
scendants of Black Cesar, who haunt
the mangrove swamp, make the strug-
gle three-cornered affair.
The plot, well constructed, is replete
with thrills, and makes judicious use
Of such props as sunken treasure, Sc
cret tunnels, deadly snakes and well
placed accomplices. C.R.S.

they are made In snug-ftting basque
effects that have round or square
neck lines. short puffy sleeves and
short puffy skirts that are made

Soft creepy dresses continue to
hang straight from the shoulder. and
are self girdled by subtle draping of
the material and attain an uneven
hem line by means OF side panels.
Frequently these panels are faced
with contrasting color as are the
sleeves.

which shimmers through giving a
delightful color effect. The dress Is

unadorned save for straight double
panels at the sides and a self col
ored ribbon covered cord that places
itself as It ties about the waist.
Coat dresses Of cloth and silk are
both good and promise to be quite
a feature IN every wardrobe for
spring. OF the former one Of the
most striking is a chemise-like slip
of dark blue Polret twill on which
has been embroidered an all over

sleeves are set in but are the depth.

TUNES. Some Of them are in the
skirt and coat suits and others are
the dresses and capes. The dresses
are made to wear with blouses, or
without and the capes are made so
that the can be fastened 20 the back
OF the dress and worn wrapped
about the figure or falling loose.
Dhite flannel Is an interesting item
in the clothes for spring and Is made
into charming dresses trimmed with
braid or material in contrasting
color. Sport skirts too are made OF
white flannel to be worn with dark
coats or sweaters.
Blouses are made OF crepe de
chine and georgette IN all the high
colors with very brilliant designs IN
embroidery. or contrasts IN colored
material They are the peplum type
that hang over the skirt and the
length OF the sleeve varies from the
very short to wrist length.

simmer sports wear Is the eItp-over
sweater and the checked or striped
skirt. In some costumes the order
Is reversed and the upper part OF
the garment has all the color and
pattern and the skirt IS the plain
color that predominates in the slip
on. in color and design many OF
these have gotten Inspiration from
the orient as well as from some OF
the primitive American Indian de-
signs and are rich in color.
Knitted dresses which have been
trying FOR seasons TO make a place
for themselves In American ward
robes seem TO have at last forced
themselves IN and are to be worn a
lot this year. They are more at
tractive in color and design than
ever before and are much better
suited TO the chic lines Of the fig
ure.
Many OF them are shown with a
dressy and striking. Suits for street
wear are varied in design. Some Of
those made IN dark blues are very
close fitting TO the waist from which
they fare and fall in ripples and
points. many Of them trimmed with
braid tassels and even silk fringes.
OF course there are more simple
models. which hang in straight tail
ored simple lines, some OF them box
shaped others held close TO the fig
ure with a narrow belt Of leather
or material stitched Following this
style are many suits Of covert cloth.
The skirts OF all the suits are short
straight and for the most part un-
trimmed.
Another version Of the suit for
spring is fashioned on more in
formal lines and looks like a sports
suit. The skirt IS made Of flannel
in a check or plaid design and the
coat OF Jersey or flannel Is plain
color belted and pocketed with trim
mings and collar Of the material to
match the skirt

gracefully draped skirts, unique
sleeve effects and combines nicely
with plain colored materials in
either silk or wool.
For so many seasons the severe
neckline. boat shaped and un-
adorned has been found a very try
ing fashion for many. Those Will
rejoice IN the fact that many OF the
new dresses are shown with colors
and vestees OF real lace. embrCid-
cred batiste or organdy. Some OF
the dresses retain the boat shape
neck line but in the majority this is
modified. cut deeper at the front
while others break entirely from II
and are square In shape.
Sports clothes seem to be out do
ing themselves this spring. IN color
fabrics and design. Perhaps the
color combination that stands out Is
red and white. It appears IN suits
hats, and shoes. Dresses, made with
white blouses that stretch down into
red skirts. and red skirts that reach
up on white blouses are worn with
capes OF red. To go with such a
costume are white stockings clicked
in red and white oxfords that have
red heels and red kid appliqued in
perforated designs.
Yellow and white Is another pop
ular combination and probably
stands second in the seasons scale
OF color schemes for sports wear
orchid being third.
The dress and cape combination Is
the smartest version OF the sports
costume. The dresses made on sim
pie lines trimmed with embroidery
with white on color and color on
white. The cape Is OF the color used
and often carries out the same trim
ming design in bands of embroidery
Sports hats are simple. They may
be large or small but for trimming
they have a cabachon OF beads or a
band OF ribbon. A few are trimmed
with short quilts.

about the fashions for spring. For
several seasons women have gone

and FIN the most intense hues. II IS
the first thing one secs when look
ing over ths spring clothes.
Navy is perhaps the most popular
color for gowns and suits, though
paris has been quoted as saying
that navy is not 20 be on her color
card this year. Yet American wO-
men love their tailored navy suits
aud every American wardrobe must
hav- az least one smart navy dress
hung away for at least q filler for
the unusual occasion. That time
that comes occasionally into every
woman's life when her first thought
Is IT have not one thing 10 wear"
Then comes the second thought:
why there is that navy dresst'
and then that grand and glorious
feeling that she IL all fixed with just
the most appropriate gown she
could possibly desire
American designers know all
about this Some Of them have had
the experience themselves Others
have had the experience of several
years Of business. and still others
have studied the American women
and their national taste and the
answer - the navy blue dress.
The result Is that every display
room shows navy dresses. There
are taTstas and all the long list Of
creepy materials, from the heavy

Majestic Review

Those awaiting the formal gala cpening of Posfs Majestic theatre with the play ''The Man Who Came Back as presented by the well known Poli Stock Players were in- deed not disappointed with their or fering.

 The rest of the company, though new to us this season, did not fail to find place in the thoughts and hearts of the audience and one could see that they knew they were wei coned into the family group There cannot be any doubt as to the sue season with such players as these.
