FITTING WOMEN

en- Days of Bustles,
Hoops and Things.
TRIED HARDEST THEN

Gone are the days when a clerk who
could not fold up a hoop skirt or ad-
just hustle ceased to find her name
on the payroll.
Gone, too, are the red fannels, the
balmoral skirts, bustles, wooden hoods,
and "fascinators" so dear to the
hearts of the first customers who used
to throngl about the counter of the
Barden Store company in the olden
days years ago.

Merchants would have regarded

Changes Came Slowly.
"Styles didn't change over night,

Recognized AS One of the Largest Stores In
This Section of Wisconsin - It's Rep
utatiOn Well Earned.
BEGAN WITH HUMBLE START
The First Barden Store Was Jointly Owned by H. E.
Barden and M. HI. McArdIe On Main
Street In 1890.

Standing out as one of the largest
business houses in the down town
section of the city is the Barden
Store company building, which is pre-
pairing to celebrate the formal open
ing of it's addition to its present facil-
tiles this week. At the foundation of
the remarkable development of this
business there is most interesting
story--a story which reads like that
of the rise to fame of one of the old
time dime novel heroes. And behind
this story there stands the founder
and present head of the Barden Store
company, Hugh E. Barden.
1t was way back in $3.50. Hugh
Barden, then mere stripping, just
out of the PEatteyille Normal school
at Platteville, Wis, came to the city
of Racine where he was determined
to begin making his mark in the.
world. He entered, the employ of
John Clark, at that time Racine's'
leading merchant, and here started on
the road which was, to lead him to the.
highway of experience with the lad
der of success at the end of that road.
Went Into Business Himself.
Hugh Barden applied himself dill
gently so that he could make nothing
but the most favorable impression mp
on his employer, and with the people
with whom he had business relations.
That impression was SO, favorable with
his employer, that Hugh was sent to
Kenosha from Racine as manager of
the John Clark store that was organ
lied on the site, where the Main Cigar
store is now located, at Main and
Park streets. Forea year he continued
to make the store one of the most
popular establishments of it's kind in
the city. He prospered and John
Clark prospered. a.
Then one day Hugh Barden and M.
H. McCardle, his brother-in~law, got
together and the suggestion was
passed that the two pool their capital

the new elevators. Realizing the rap
idity of the change in style, Mrs. Jack
son has a constant supply of the new
err things in advance of each season.
There are also smart, youthful hats
for juniors as we'll as adults.
Draperies ard rugs are perhaps the
most famous of the Barden merchan-
disc. X. E. Frisbee, in charge of the
draperies department has provided, in
addition to his extensive lines of cur
tain nets, drapery fabrics, materials
for shades, etc., tables and couch COW
ers, as well as lamps for every occa-
sion. The marked success of this de-
partment is due to (1) the complete
assortment of goods, and (2) the
prompt service. / was attracted by
ope of the popular little French doll
lamp shades which had been made at
the store. The clerk told me that they
are selling loads of them. This de-
partment has a right to claim success
in bids for many large institutions
such as the new courthouse, the Elks'
ballroom, and the Terrace Court apart
ments.
The rug department adjoins, the
draperies, carrying rugs, carpets and
linoleums. James Barden is manager,
and he has compiled stock hardly
surpassed by any in the state. Scien-
tifc service is given here, especially
in the method used for laying floor

So it is not difficult to sur
mise that someone is going to get
a good smacking in "The Tale
of the Wolf" When produced
in Baltimore the piece had Leo
Ditrichstein, Malcolm Williams
and Laura Hope Crews. Here
we1l have Wallace Eddinger,
Roland Young and Phyllis Povah,
which shows we're being done
right by SO far as the casting
goes.
The Washington times., 1925-09-19

The family name Is we'll known
in London. Miss Povah's grand
father was for fortytwo years
rector of st. Olaf's, in the slums
of London to which charge he was
assigned shortly after finishing
ar the theological seminary. He
became so devoted to his people
tha: he declined all offers to go
to larger and more fashionable
parishes. st. O1af's is not with

"The Tale of the Wolf" which
the Charles Frohman interests
will sponsor next week at the
National Theater is the same
which David Belasco produced in
Baltimore in 1913 as 'The
Phantom Rival,' adapted from
Molnar's tale, "The Man Who
Cried Wolf" Thus the record
at the last minute supplies a
cue as to what the proceedings
generally, will be about. We all
remember the childhood tale
about the mischievous boy who
used to harass the honest wood
choppers by yelling "Wolf" just
when they were in the midst of
telling trees in all directions.

He lacked most or the advantages

complained and there was talk
at the time of naming a Joint

Finally, a memorandum was
issued to every accredited lum-

not recalled, but the sense of
the memo was essentially as
follows:

that the one thing she most want
ed to do was to become an ac-
tress. Her favorite pastime was
to be taken to the theater, and
when there was no play to see she
read one. At an an age when
most girls dote on romantic novels
shS was reading Shakespeare,
Meiliere, Shaw and Hauptman.
She is familiar with many parts,
which she will probably never
play, but she considers them a
valuable part of her education.
Miss Povah made her first
Broadway success with the Thea
ter Guild in "Mr. PIN Passes By
Since then she has played in

which won the Pulitzer prize

which enjoyed a long run at the
