Reports from the more than
interesting ramparts of the Ma
tional Theater stage this morn
ing were that Miss Rhea
Dive1y had entirely recovered
from. the whip-fever she suf-
fered Monday night. 1t will be
recalled she was struck about
the eyes two weeks ago In
this same scene and last Mon
day night was her first con-
fronting of the pretty Leneta
Simon Legree Lane in whose
hands swirled the whip-ele-
plants trunk model. Miss
Dively braced herself for the
onslaught but discretion proved
not only the better part of
valor, but also, of histrionism
and she started Paavo Nurmi
before Leneta got within strik-
ing distance.

ing Mr.. Gochran's money to au-
diences, l am against anyone

for. the sake of realism. The

assertions Of Ziegfeld, Brady
and others, is some levels. above

1t is q desire that most of us have
brought with us from childhood to
gather flowers i'll Spring and carry
them home with us. Children pick
pretty flowers just for the sake of
picking 1t seems to be almost in
stinctive. With us there is also the
desire to take the flowers home with
us. so as to have some of the signs Uf
Spring about us even when we must
be indoors So we go to the woods or
fields and come home with our arms
full of blooms.
But it is not always the easiest
thing to keep the flowers in good CON
dition after we get them home. To
make them last as long as possible
you should keep the stems as moist
as possible on your way home and
then put them in a dish of water
which has had the chill taken from 1t.
Do not crowd them and do not let the
stems touch the bottom of the dish.
Remember that flowers need fresh air.
Keep them away from fires and radl-
ators and do not put them up high
where the hot, stale air will reach
them. Give them fresh water every
day while they last.
