BARNARD, Vt. Na. !2.--,n ancient Vermont hill farm in Ber- hard has been chosen by Sinclair Lewis. novelist, and his bride, Dorothy Thompson, as their perma- nent spring g-summer-and- autumn home.
 Coming here from taeir honey moon in England for brief stay, before winter drove them to their New York apartment, they have been delighted with the eamiort- able 132-year-old farmhouse and pleased with the lack Of flutter shown by the countryside over their ss~~ival.
 Some might .l..,,,:: ,,,,.a farm a oit lonely, but it is just what the au- thcr wanted. Barnard has only 650 residents, and they are scat tered over township Of 45 square miles. The village is eight and 10 miles, respectively, from the railroad lines on the north and south. To reach the Lewis place one must climb narrow, winding road out of the village, still higher in the hills, a distance of about two miles.
 The house obscured from the highway. is low and white, with a wide verandah across it's front. Surrounded by a bit of lawn and garden land amid a cluster of trees, it nestles on a slope which forms one side of a narrow valley few hundred feet below brook rambles along the valley bottom.
 The old place has it's historic as- sociations. The hill road that swings past his driveway is still remembered locally a5 that ueed by Marquis de Lafayette on his final triumphal tour cf America in 1925.
 The novelist called attention to the doorstep of his home. The o.J cblong piece of rock bore this in- scription.
 eFrom this stone the doorstep of Akins Tavern, Marquis de Lafay- ette addressed the people of Bar nard, Vermont, June 2S, 1S25.'
 The tavern, Mr Lewis said, still stands short distance down the highway and is now used as a farmhouse.
 Tn this setting, made more color ful by the Indian summer foliage, the novelist fourd seslusion for work on novel he is finishing. And with his bride, who has q reputation of her own as a writer, he has planned the future of their farm home.

#titions are down for trial. We are afraid that the effect of the recent legislation has been greatly to increase the evil. In former days, when these cases were tried in public, sensitive persons. shrunk from the ordeal of a public revela- tion of their matrimonial lives. Now that this cheek has been re- moved by the restriction>of public ity, the popularity of divorce is greatly increased Society has al- ready adopted itself to the new order"
 A further complication in the divorce situation is seen in the an- ncuncement that shortly there will be launched an agitation for the right to divorce on such grounds as separation owing to penal servi- tude, chronic alcoholism, and tenn peramental difference. The only grounds upon which divorce can now be obtained in England is adultery.
 Some strange and unusual mat rimonial tangles will worry the judges this session The secrecy law has encouraged so much col fusion in getting divorces that It has been announced the judges will give "hotel bill evidence" search ing examination and that they will not accept as absolute corroborat- ing testimony such as confession of husband, or the evidence of hotel servants.

 Mary Astor is his leading lady in this story of the amusing eX- periences of two soldiers, rich private and a hard-boiled sergeant. who, through using an Arab dis guise to escape from a German prison camp, find themselves ir Arabia. Louis Wolheim. whe played the original part Of Cap tain Flagg in What Price Glory?p takes the role of the sergeant.
 Boyd, who. after only moderate opportunities. received his biz chance in "The Volga Beatman. did so well in his part that he has been in constant demand hy producers everywhere. The De Mile star felt that he would like to repeat his dramatic success in "a comedy Of feature size and so he took the role in '"rwo Arabian Knights In that film, the pri- yate and the sergeant are ene- mics, as all such were during the days of cold, rain and mud in France. They try to stay enc mics throughout the picture, but it is difficult to do. so since each helps the other when they are con- fronted by a common foe.

 THE CATS. PAJAMAS" IS NOW AT COLISEUM

Brilliant in effects and charm ing ill story. That's '"The Cats Pajamas," which had it's premiere showing at the Coliseum last night. Betty Bronson, co-starred with Ricardo Cortez. is as sweet and lovable as she's ever been.
 Betty appears as tiny work ing-girl," a mere chit of a child, whose love for her invalid father, Theodore Roberts, s,-returned to the screen after protracted siege of convalescence-is a thing Of beauty. She is her true self, half- child, half woman. Roberts, all ways magnificent actor, proves that despite a long illness, his old power remains undiminished. He plays Miss Bronson's parent with sympathetic understanding rarely excelled on stage or screen.
 Ricardo Cortez, the eccentric opera tenor, Don Cesare Gracco, gives che of the best performances of his career. Cortez carries off the love scenes with charm, strength and a versatility which confirms the lavish praise heaped on him in "The Pony Express" I Enacting the part of a dancer, we find Arlette Marchal, the beau tiful Parisienne, first seen on our screen with Gloria Swanson in Madame Sans Gene"

The World and All
IN CHINA

~ 1hfA'N
Many girls have been shot in Chins for bobbin.
their hair. But among the revolutionaries and hair
bobbing goes on Just the same. The short hair is
merIey the chief outward sign Of the new government
among Chinese women.
In the big cities. Chinese women no longer bind the
feet of their girl children. Formerly the feet of girls
we're bound tightly to cripple them sufficiently 70 keep
them from walking cut Of their husbands houses. Or
getting too adventurous.
Women were less than nobodies in the old China. If
the revolution prevails throughout the vast empire,
there will be a very different new China for our chill
tren to learn about in their Biographies and histories.
in the new order over there is about the most signifi-
cant phase of the whole overturning of tradition.
sss
These thoughts come to me as ! think over "Chins's
Millions" BY Anna Louise Strong. which | have just
read. II is the latest book on China as she is, and is
published by Coward Mccain.
Miss Strong writes well. and with knowledge. She
is no returned tourist. setting down impressions. She
lived among the women of the revolutionary army in
China and heard their woes and aspirations from their
own mouths.
Really. / hadn't any idea that conditions we're 80
bad for women. anywhere on earth, as they have been
in China. and still are in the backward portions ~
that country. Girls working in factories for five cents
a day. and being beaten by foremen for mistakes in
their work. on being locked all night IN narrow WOODEN
cells. unable 10 lie down, for some error in factory
work. Can such things be? Well, they are, in China.
They arc passing. however thanks TO the new enlight-
cnre emit which is spreading.
Now. when people arc oppressed in such shameful
fashion. there's plenty of cause for revolution. China
is in ferment because tho Chinese have been so long
oppressed, Just As the Russian revolution burst forth
out n centuries Of cruel oppression. When We hear r.
the terrible things that drive these peoples to face
death for liberty. NC are thankful that the good fight
vas fought for Us a century and a half ago. before con
ditions in a new land had time TO solidify into unbear-
able tyranny.
