Fall Decorations Are Replete With
 Color

Miss Walsh, in a recent issue of the Chicago Daily News, writes in an interesting manner of the autumn Interior decorations, which are to be very colorful, very bright, with all of the colors of the rainbow. She warns us, however, and also time promises us, that in mixing many bright shades of color in a room, from one shade to another in order to get a brilliant and at the same time restful effect.
 She says No crude combinations of dominant hues are found, only those wherein different tones merge one into the other in a pleasing manner. Dominant colors are there, but so sealed as to make gradual transition rather than abrupt change.
 "Therein lies the secret of using brilliant colors in your home. Let there be color and enough of it could be the slogan of the modern decorator, but to the uninitiated it would not be understandable. Enough color to them would mean scheme in which one bright hue is placed in close proximity to another, and as many such used as possible to gather In one room.
 That is a wrong interpretation of the suggested slogan. Enough col or means. rather, that two brilliant hues be brought into relation with each other by the use of others which contain some of the compo- sites of both. For instance, the law ender is a step between. the rose and the blue, and is used in several diff ferent tones. AS the first step away from blue, a blue-laVender is shown and throughout the design are found two other tones of the same color; one in which the blue and red are evenly distributed and one with decided rose cast. Thus is harmony established between the rose and the blue.
 "The same principle can be applied to the general color scheme of room. Take, for instance, room with figured wall paper. The plain hangings of a green blue bring the light green walls and gray furni- ture closer and also strike relieV- ing note in what otherwise Wouio prove a monotonous combination.
 "A room with which the owner ex- perimented. Enough color was her motto. The walls were, painted gray green and gold colored silk curtains were next selected. (Why not? Wasn't there yellow in greenD And because there was also blue Tn green she decided to choose color "lth blue in it for the upholstery A shade of lavender with much blue in 1t was chosen. It is in pleasing con trast to the gold, but can claim re- lationship to the green, as can also the yellow gold.

 Authorities On
 Beauty

The motion picture screen has done more than any other thing to prove that with beautiful complexion you can overcome the handicaps of no ed ucation, few advantages. poor circum- stances and thin, unattractive form.
 If you could see and talk with a great many, of the girls and women of the screen you would find that their charm Is in their face, and that they rarely ever have that inherent aris- tocracy which their appearance on the screen impresses you with.
 This shows that you can make the same impression on the people who pass you as you walk along among the crowds, or those you come in con tact with every day, if you will just let the thousands of girls and women who use the Black and White Beauty Creations be your guide.
 If these women were not satisfied with Black and White Cleansing and Peroxide Cream, Face Powder, Soap and many other complexion necessi- ties now sold under the Black and White label, the tremendous sale of more than eight million packages a. year would not be possible. Anything can be sold once, but unless it really brings results that thing will not be bought a second time

contest for Indiana writer's. This
contest was successful and some in

believe that it is the all-important
duty Of the Little Theatre to develop
native talent. The Little Theatre
must create and in this way the de-
mand is being satisfied.
The Little Theater Society should
be looked upon as helpful institution
and not as a fad or a plaything for
just the view.
It seems to me that the Little Teha.
tire is becoming more and more the
useful institution that it should be.
It deserves to have the support of
people who are interested in this
line Of work
Miss Eldena Lauter makes the fol-
lowing announcement of the rules
governing the three-act play writing
competition:
1. Any resident or former resident
OF Indiana is eligible.
2. Authors may select their own
themes and method of treatment, that
is, comedy, drama, satires, ETC., al
though the board will give preference
to plays dealing with local life and
characters.
3. All plays must be typewritten
and sent to Miss Eldena Lauter, 612
e. Thirteenth St., Indianapolis, be-
fore Jan. 1, 1924. Authors name and

Of the play. Postage should be en-

OCTOR NYE of North Ostable

You will meet Doc Nye and the
rest of North Ostable folk in Joseph

Doctor Nye." 1 obtained copy for
review from the book department of
L. S. Ayres & Co., of this city. 1t
is published by D. Appleton Co.
The Main street of this story is not
placed in Indiana or Ohio but in the
Cape Cod Colony near the bay. Lin
coin in Fair Harbor" ''Shavings"
and other stories draws men and
women as they actually talk and live.
He takes his time telling a story be-
cause he relied upon the characters
to do the talking and they do a bunch
of it. In fact most of the action of
Doctor Nye' is told in the words of
the many characters.
The chief charm of Joseph G. Lin
coin is that he IS able to picture real
men and women. His situations are
not theatrical as you get the impress
sion that Doc Nye, A1thea Benis, the
village gossiper; Henry Ward Beecher
Payson, a non-patron of Volstead and
the owner of three legs, two of which
are cork; Cyrenus Stone and his son
Tom; Judge Copeland and his
daughter, Faith Captain Bearse and
his sister; Doctor Parker; Mrs. Powell
and all the other actually live In North
Ostable.

Lincoln Has Definite
Place In American Literature
Joseph c. Lincoln takes his time
in telling his story. and yet this

more than mere suggestions, but ao-
tual people who walk about, eat,
