ING EARNEST" as pre-
scented by the Rams Head Play
ers is certainly satisfying, picto-
rally, as well as intellectually. In
fact, their productions seem, like
the majority of DIR. Coue's pa
tients, to grow better every day
in every way.
Rarely has this most brilliant
of all Of Oscar Wilde's brilliant
comedies been done so well.
Played under the personal direc-
ton of Walter Beck, who last
week was responsible for Cabell's
Jewel Merchants. the RAMS
Head Players have, again demon
strated their artistry both indi-
vidually and collectively, the
greatest personal hit being regis
tered perhaps by Mason Wright
as Algernon Moncrieff, who does
not fail to discover "the impor-
lance Of being earnest" Walter
Beck is not far behind him as
the Rev. Canon Chasuble, and
Leona Roberts as Miss Prism is
a joy, every moment she is on the
stage.
James Reynolds settings are
most attractive and colorful, and,
as executed under the direction
of Lester Shafer proves excellent
background for the gowns Of the
women in the play. In the first
act, Maud Howell Smiths dull
black gown so becoming to the
Titan blond, is extremely smart
against the beautiful blue of
Jimmie Reynolds, walls.
The second setting, a garden
scene, with tall green hedge and
a summer house in tones Of won
derful reds, is made complete by
the charming appearance of Jo-
sephine Hutchinson, who as CeciIy

in her sports costume, of white
and almond green, with an ador-
able hat to match. And again

Gladys Hinckley
To Wed Partisan

THE real feature of the
Playhouse dancing class was
the announcement-or rather the
permeating- the news Of Gladys
Hinckley's engagement. 1t wasn't
formally announced until next
day, but suddenly everybody
seemed to know it-and some
were frankly astonished, while
others insisted that they had
known for some time she was
to announce an engagement soon
although they admitted that they
had not been able to place the
responsibility.
Which was not much to be
wondered at, since the man seems
to be unknown here and certainly
has not been here much. His
name is McCsneE Werlich and he
halls from Paris, Everybody was
offering congratulations and ask
ing questions that night, and
next day with due form Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Hinckley announced
the engagement of their daughter,
Gladys, to err. Percival McCeney
Werlich, of Paris, France" How
ever, Miss Hinckley privately
told her friends that her fiance-
hated the 'Percival" and had OBJ
tanned legal permission to drop it.

THE funniest thing about the
whole affair was William Bowie
Clarke's grief that Miss Hinck-
ley should have been mean enough
to scoop him on the announce
ment Of her engagement. why,
cAild, and I sat next to her at
dinner the other night, and she
never breathed of word Of it," he
mourned-"though to be sure I
had felt sure there was something
of the sort impending. Perhaps
she thought I'd be sure to tell"
Which seems not unlikeIy-for
the Washington proverb to the
effect that il you want to spread
news there are three sure ways
Telephone, telegraph, or tell-a-
Patten" might well be amended,
"or a William Bowie Clarke"
He's one of the most useful
bachelors in Washington-Bowie
Clarke. Few parties are complete
without him. But above all
things, he loves to spread the
glad-or sad-tidings.
To return, the announcement
is about as generally interesting
as any of that nature that could
be made in Washington. For
Gladys Hinckley is probably as
well known at least all up and
down the eastern tier of cities,
from Boston to Baltimore by way
of New York and Philadelphia, as
any girl in Washington. The
news is, Of course, Of special in
terest to Baltimore, which has
been the habitat of the Hinckleys
and the O'Donnells, her mothers

And now she is marrying Nc

Somehow, it isn't a plausible sort
of name-the combination Of Irish
and German, with Paris as its
habitat don't know a thing
about hin1-and there seems to be
no wedding plans, as yet-at
least none for publication. But
it is easy to predict that it will
not be a very long engagement
possibly an Easter wedding,
though my guess would place it
sooner.

CHAPTER ~

For some moments Sam remained
where he was staring after the girl as
she fitted down the passage. He felt
dizzy. Listening to Eustace Hignett's
story of his blighted romance, Sam
had formed an unfiattering opinion of
this Wilhelmina Bennett who had
broken off her engagement simply be-
cause on the day Of the marriage his
cousin had been short Of the necessary
wedding garment. He had, indeed,
thought little smugly how different
his goddess Of tine red hair was from
the object of Eustace Hignett's af-
fections. And now they had proved to
be one and the same. 1t was disturb
ing. 1t was like suddenly finding the
vampire Of five-reel feature film turn
into the heroine.
Some men, on making the discovery
Of this girls identity, might have felt
that providence had interviewed to save
them from disastrous ENHANCEMENT.
This point of view never occurred to
Samuel Marlowe. The way he looked
at it was that he had been all wrong
about Wilhelmina Bennett. Eustace,
he felt, had been to blame throughout.
If this girl had maltreated Eustace'S
finer feelings, then her reason for do
ing SO must have been excellent and
praiSewOrthy.
After all ;. poor old Eustace
III. quite good fellow, no doubt

down to brass tacks, what was there
about Eustace that gave him any IL
cense to monopolize the affections of
wonderful girl? Where. in word,
did Eustace Hignett get off? He made
tremendous grievance of the fact
ment, but what tight had he to so
about the place expecting her to be
engaged to him? Eustace Hignett, no
Doubt looked upon the poor girl as
utterly heartless. Marlowe regarded
her behavior as thoroughly sensible.
She had made mistake, and. realiz-
ing this at the eleventh hour, she had
had the force of character to correct
1t. He was sorry for poor old Eustace.
but he really could net permit the sug-
gestion that Wilhelmina Bennett-her
friends called her Billie-had not be-
haved in a perfectly splendid way
throughout. It was women like Will
helmina Dennett-Billie to her init
mates-who made the world worth
living in.
Her friends called her Billie. He
did not blame them. 1t was delight
