Chapel Hill Cha&

When Lou ROuntree drove into
town the other day after many
years absence, and was show
ing him about the place, we went
out along the new Cameron ave
nue. extension. ! bade him stop
the car in order that | might
show him the Forest Theatre in
Battles Park. We walked
through the woods a few yards,
and there, 10 and behold! we've

"The Tanning of the Shrew." /
was proud that l could show my
guest the famous troupe, or part
of it, in action. The actors did
not know they had spectators,
and the spectators enjoyed it all
the more for that. Mr.. Koch
was laying down the law to the
other two, about intonation, ges-
ture, and so on, and we could see
their performance i'm prove
markedly under his instruction.
1t appears that a number cf
Chapel Hill youths of genera
ton ago have settled in Durham.
The other day saw there Wal
ter Pritchard and Will Partin
and two of the Mason brothers.
And two or three of the Kirk
lands are over there, too. One
of the happy consequences of
the new road is that these ma
tives of our town find it easy to
dome back often to their old
home
A letter that came to Mrs. R.
L. Gray recently from a friend
in New York told of the success
there of Miss Elizabeth Basker-
vile, daughter of the late
Charles Baskerville. Miss Bas-
keryille, who lives in New York
with her mother and brother,
is editor of the magazine, WOm-
ans Wear. The Baskeryilles
used to live in the house now oc-
cupied by the Kennettes. Mr..
Baskerville was famous as a foot
ball player in his undergraduate
days, became professor of chem
stry, and left North Carolina
about the year 1900 to enter the
faculty of the College of the City
of New York.
here is something luxurious and
princely about owning an island,
and giving house party on it
suggests a flavor, it seems to me,
that few entertainments possess.
But Tank" Hunter will be ask
ing why Vernon Howell, owning

so disloyal as to ride in a Stude-
baker.
The only thing l don't like
about the development of the
Tenney farm as a residential
area is that it will mean the de-
struction of the fig bushes from
which ! used to feed so happily
on my way to and from the

lection is that Mrs. Tenncy did
