! To TRY SHAW

Washington is to sponsor a
New York dramatic production
II the plans of the Columbia

ming one,act play, when the
Ship Goes Down." in the Belasco
Cup contest go through. The
performance of The Great Cath

Central High School auditorium
Is part of the program for
raising funds for the New York
venture.
The Shaw comedy, built around
the bizarre character of Cath
crime the Great, which will be
played by Aurora Poston, was
chosen because of the few op-
portunities that local audiences
have had to see Shaw in recent
years, especially this very anus
ing but seldom produced comedy.
A feature of the production
will be authentic period furni-
ture, especially loaned for the
occasion, which is valued at $780,
900 and which typifies the bar
barrie splendor that contrasted
with the strange cudities Of the
court which Shaw uses as the
background for his satire.
The principal players in "The
Great Catherine" are Aurora Pos

Sleeves Add to the Usefulness
 and Beauty of Seasons Frocks

Little sleeves play big part in tha winter mode.
 If you have a party-fied little frock with short sleeves of some kind, that little frock will do twice the service for you that one with no sleeves is capable of doing.
 Not only does chic hang by the addition of a wee sleeve, but a dress that boasts one is good from lunch time through dinner, and even on into the evening, if it is not a strictly formal occasion.
 Little sleeves can do a lot for woman besides style. If you are not blessed with the most beaut- ful arms in the world. the addi- ton of a little cap or flounced sleeve is tricky way of covering up. Even for the most formal evening wear. if you are slender and your neck is none too well filled out, you can create the illu- sion of a drop shoulder gown ny having little frills out over the shoulders and straps on the shoul- dcrs.
 Has Gypsy Influence
 Two frocks that make much of their sleeve fashion are utterly different in character, material and color.
 Quite vagabondish is the cos tune, shown at the left of the pie ture. with gypsy touch in it's com bination of black and white, and a bit of gay red. The upper part Of the frock is white satin and the little sleeves with their dain- tily pointed edge are white satin. The black satin joins the material in a flatterng line above the waistline. A brigand sash of the black satin taxes vivid red lining and, when tied, lets the smart world see red.
 The skirt Of this frock has a full godet on one lde that tends to greater length than the rest of the frock Its lower skirt edge points to chic in the same way the sleeves do.
 \ Demure Model
 If it is a quaintly demure froCk you want, something fine for Sat urday and Sunday nights, the wine red veveteen, shown at right, with organ pleating for it's skirt flounce, is a fine idea.
 This dress has the full sleeves that decline to puff up much, but are the cutter for all that. They arc finished in q little ruch of the same organ pleating that the skirt makes so much of.
 Against the rich beauty of this frock, pinky tan flower adds its decorative touch. Of course you could wear fresh flowers. but this one is made of such lovely chiffon organdie that it has the freshness Of real ones and the advantage Of never Nilting.
