Two Buster Keatons.

There is another Buster Keaton in
the world. You may know this or
you may not know it. You may
take it as you will. 1t is thought
another Buster keaton. And did
you know that the second Buster.
heir presumptive to the throne Of
Keaton and nephew plenipotentiary
Of Norma and Constance Talmadge
(not to mention the offhand fact
that he Is the son of Natalie Tai
madge), was born on a Friday even
ing. June 2, at seven minutes after Z,
Weighing seven pounds. Not a frac
ton off, one way or the other, on
the seven!
What's more. he didn't get his name
the way his father did-this second
Buster! And he won't be treated the
way his father was, professionally
this second Buster. Not if his aunts
know 1t, and his mother and his
grandmother. Buster the first was
named by the famous Houdini, who
saw the very youngling comedian roll
merrily down few flights of stairs
and come up none the worse for the
trip. Hes some buster!' said Hou-
dini. And Buster-instead- of Joseph
he has been called ever since.
On the whole, it is small wonder
that Buster never smiles on the
screen. He never had a chance to
smile on the stage. when. with his
mother and father. billed as the
Three Keatons, he toured this coun-
try and England and won the pity Of
the nations. Sarah Bernhardt inter
vened in his behalf. Harry Lauder
spoke word for him. Lily Langtry

his father to take his falls" and
the result was that he was kicked

paternal parent until outraged audi

Alpaca: Suit Comes as Revival
By ANNE RrrTENH0UsE.

Fifteen years ago seems az TAR back

years are not reckoned' One gauges time
by what has happened, 80 the fashions
Of fifteen years ago seem far of to US,
divided from us as they, are. by an over
turn of the world. .,..!,
Yet fifteen years ago smartly dressed
women paid large sums Of money. or
rather large for those days, for a plain
coat and skirt Of shining alpaca. The
ceat was a bat fitted into the waist line.
the sleeves were long and set into snug
little armholes and. much anxiety was
caused in the proper fitting Of the long
collar and revers. With such q suit and
half dozen white or figured blouses, a
woman had a heart for any fate.
Today. in this season Of revivals. the
alpaca suit is given to, the public. not
as a reminder of other days, but as an
admirable selection for the present. It

a summer cottage. or little city apart

fresh. cool looking dress material is
used with charming effect at windows,
on chair coverings. for bed coverlets
and especially in the kitchen.
Ever so many people are using all
the wash materials for hangings," the

Russian crepe is certainly the last
word" in summer fashions. in spite
Of the fact that it is a bit heavy
and warm. Milady wore sweater
on the most sultry spring days when
she engaged lin golf or tennis, and
now if she would be well dressed, she
must have either a cape suit or sport
jacket outfit in Russian or Moroccan
crepe. Materials stamped with bright
and colorful designs lend themselves
most happily to these types of cos
tunes and at the same time dispense
with the need for separate trimming
The shops are now showing these
popular crepes in practically all
shades, while the stamped designs
are bizarre and exotic and yet ar
tistically contrasted to the basic tone.
The cape suit illustrated is of cara
mel crepe combined with light beige
Canton. The darker material forms
a short, loose cape. which fastens at
the throat in an original manner.

Another feature worth thinking about
is the wide rolling collar with the long

no law these days. for they appear on a
