When beautiful Cleo Mayfield

Her reputation for being the most

words authority. Miss Mayfield,
with Cecil Lean, Is co-guest star

of "The Blushing Bride" with
the full strength OF his Savoy
Musicomedians at the Belasco
Theater, beginning Sunday night

wear at least $1,000 worth of
gorgeous gowns, wraps and hats.
"The modern woman, despite

field, shares with her sisters in
past generations the desire to
focus the entire attention of the
man OF her choice upon her. In

Besides, popular approval is es.
sential to the happiness Of every
woman, whether she be stage star,
professional worker or just a

Although Miss Mayfield believes
in the importance of clothes, she
is opposed to the organized fash

which undertake to make a certain

season, work against the individu-

asset.
"Yes." Miss Mayfield admitted,

If they will only give thought and

BUDDY PAGE,
NEW M. c.

Buddy Page, the newly imported
master of ceremonies at the FOX
Theater. is truly a youngster, ad-
nnitting 1905 as the year OF his
birth and, what is more, he ad-
mits that event took place on a
farm and that also he was once
a Gus Edwards protege, who has
developed more of the now present
, stars of the stage than possibly
anyone else connected with the
theater.
Through the migration of his
family young BUDDY went TO
school in Plainfield, N. j., with
most of the educating process
confined to music-he loved 1t
and everything else, such as geog'
raphy, spellin' and arithmetic
was just so much time wasted,
thought Buddy.
At 16 Buddy had his own or
chestra, and became overnight
a player in big time as an &C.
companist for well-known sing
ing star. 1t was while on this
engagement he was selected to
lead one of the picture theater
orchestras in Chicago.
A scout of the Balaban and
Katz interests, large theater
owners of the Windy City,
caught" Buddy and another mas
ter Of ceremonies was born. From
Chicago he migrated to Phila-
delphia where he remained six
months and then to the Fox
Theater here in Washington.
He plays a dozen-odd instru-
ments; is a dancer par excellence
and an acrobat, too. He claims
not to be of the storytelling type
of master of ceremonies but a
musician who knows his music.
His local engagement is the first
time he has appeared without an
orchestra behind him on the stage
and the newspaper reviewers, in
spite of this fact, have placed
their COX" on the youngster.
He likes Washington and hopes
to stay here indefinitely.

In selecting sites there are several
things to be considered. Important
among these is the location Of the

time is highly perishable commodity.
The acquisition of land for future ex-

THE SWING By ALICE HUDSON PEALE

by ALLIE JUDcON FEALE
 Nearly every back yard in the country has swing. In prosperous homes 1t is likely to be q handsome. complicated affair-the sort you sit in and propel in a lady-like. effort lexs fashion.
 Yet the very best kind of swing is still that humble contrivance which always has hung from the old apple tree.
 For the child Of three or more the best possible swing consists of board and rope. In play with it he learns first of all to sit and push himself with his feet. then to bal ance himself standing, and to pump" alone or with . partner.
 He learns how to twist and spin. and how 10 push another child and get out of the way Of the returning swing before he is hit by it. All these things which seem so simple 10 us represent to the child genu- inc achievements in skill, poise and self confidence.
 For the baby from two to three years of age a variation of this swing may be made A boart about l2 inches wide should be used There should be two holes in eacl, end. Through these the ropes should be passed. the two at each end be- ing bound together about o4 inhces above the seat.
 At first the swing should be huns only few inches above the ground Later. as the child gains increasing skill. we may raise it 2 little 70 aa to give him chance for freer mo. tion. This type of swing is quite steady and safe for the baby's early experiments and it will serve him well until he is ready to gradua into the use of the type first dis. cussed.
 Another swing which is enjoyed by the very young child is the old automobile tire hung close to the ground. The old tire may seem neither exciting nor esthetic tot our eyes. but to the child it ie a highly satisfactory piece of apparatus.
