TANNES, France, Aug. IS
~ Bubu, monkey, was in GUS
tody today after grand spree in
one of this resort city's most ex-
elusive tennis clubs. where he re-
versed the popular idea that
whisky precedes fun, and had his
fun before his liquor.
Bubu belongs to q gypsy at a
camp near Cannes. He escaped
late Sunday. Nobody saw him
again until he popped up at the
tennis club.
Peggy Joyce was there. SO was
Maurice Chevalier, Fanny Brice,
Maurice Dekobra, Rosie Dolly, Irv-
ing Netcher, the Princess Sher-
batoff and host of other celeb
rites.
Bubu, large monkey, came in
like a small cyclone. His first
move was to assert himself. Dash
ing to the middle Of the tennis
courts, he thumped his chest half
a dozen times, let out four or five
piercing screams, and grabbed a
racquet.
Two women tainted. An uni
Identified man wearing Knockers
went over brick wall in a leap
that some said would have won
Olympic honors.
DUBU swung the racquet around
ID a bit and succeeded, finally,
in whacking himself on the head.
This irritated him. He whooped
and headed for a table at the side
of the courts.
Two more women tainted. Peggy
Joyce decided to go to her room.
Chevalier, hiding behind con-
crete pillar, remarked:
I'm leaving r-r-right now!"
Bubu grabbed a box containing
two dozen tennis balls. He threw
out curves, spitters, drops and fits.
Two more women tainted.
Tennis balls we're bouncing off
walls sailing through the air, 60
ing places through windows and
striking strangers with abandon
One man ventured out with a
club He approached Bubu, took
one look at his ferocious scowl and
left the club and the grounds.
DUBU, having thrown away all
ID the tennis balls, went to work
on the racquets. He beat five rae
kets against a brick wall until
they were in shreds. Then he
ducked into a door.
They captured Bubu ten min
uteS later, sitting on a high stool
at the bar, calmly slipping
whisky and soda.
Chevalier, who helped take him
in custody, expressed sincere hope
that he will be given a Tarzan
role when he returns to Holly
wood.
Peggy Joyce refused to issue a
statement, saying she had a head
ache.

seeing that many of the Smartest
chapeaux this season are straw with
either q velvet bow or velvet
crown or at least a touch of velvet
somewhere in their makeup.
Again, in the tweed suit illustrated
to the right we see the vogue for
blue emphasized, and in a very new
way, in that the lOose-woven and

fashions it interworks black with
bright blue, adding a scarf of pow
der blue a black leather belt com
pleting the color alliance. The hat
is a black rough straw with velvet
twist and bow over the right eye
thus again is the Importance of vel,
vet on spring straws stressed.
There's a revelation of new
ideas in the suit shown to the left
in the group. In the first place il
is tailored of corn1ower blue cor.
duroy, a material which is staging
a triumphant comeback, in that lead
ing designers are sponsoring it for
coats, for the little separate jack
cts, for pajamf costumes as we'll as
for sleeveless two-piece tennis
frocks. Then, too, the fact that
this suit is a tailleur a la militaire
is significant. The military infiu
ence is going strong in fashions
realm at the present moment. Braid
trimmings, wide shoulders, epaulets,
and metal buttons galore together
with red, white and blue color
schemes are sounding the patriotic
note throughout all fashiondom.
Fashion has gone that patriotic
that even the stars and stripes are
used in a trimming way. A new
silk jacket suit in the junior depart
ment has a striped scarf and four
star-shaped buttons. Young girls
are wearing red and white printed
blouses with their blue suits accent
ing the military theme with the ad-
dition of a red, white and blue
scarf.

THE MARQUESA DE
MONTMAYOR

IN THE Seventeenth century Ma
L dame de Sevigne, writing from
Paris long, gOssipy letters to her be
loved daughter in Provence. earned
for herself a dramatic place in
the literary world as its foremost
woman writer. Out of the story
behind these letters. the passionate,
bitter story Of a mother who loved
unwisely and too well a daughter
who did not return that affection,
Thornton Wilder in 1923 conceived
the character of the Marquesa de
Montmayor, one of the victims of
that catastrophe, the fall of The
Bridge of San Luis Rey."
Marie du Rabutin-C -Chantal was a
charming, vivacious woman with an
outright manner of speech unusual
in the Seventeenth century when af-
fection was a social necessity. Her
marriage to the Marquis de Sevigne
was an unhappy one, and she con-
centrated her affection upon her two
children, and especially upon her
daughter. When that daughter
married the Comte de Grignan, lieu
tenant general of Provence, and
went there to make her home, her
lonely mother commenced her fa-
nous correspondence with her, con-
sisting of over 1000 letters written
over a period of % years. The es-
tablishment Of a postal system via
stagecoach in 1927 had given i'm
petus to the writing of letters,
which contained not merely personal
matter for the recipient alone, but
news in general for a group of
friends, acting as a newspaper in
the days before journalism. Thus
the letters of Mauame de Sevigne
are not only charming as letters.
but they contain much valuable in
sight into current life in fashionable
Paris.

WHO WAS
WHO?
By Louise ". ComStock
THE GIRL ON THE SILVER
DOLLAR

THE classic profile which is fa-
l. mIliar to all of us as that of the
goddess of liberty on our silver dol
lar, belonged in real life to Ann w.
Williams. a school teacher. who died
just a few years ago in Philadel-
phia.
In 1876 George Morgan, expert de-
signer and engraver, was entrusted
with the task of preparing a new
design for a silver dollar that was
to be minted at Philadelphia. At
that time Miss Williams was princi-
pal of the girls school at the House
of Refuge in Philadelphia and boast
ed blue eyes, golden hair and pro
file of Grecian beauty. Thomas FAX
ins, an artist. was acquainted with
both Mr.. Morgan and Miss Williams
family, and had contact with the
girl herself while she was an art
student. He brought them togeth-
er, but it was only after consider
tlDlC pei anu VII II IiiC llOAAi
ise that her identity remain a secret
that Miss Williams consented to
pose.
The sittings took place in Mr..
Eakins' home during November of
1876. The first sketches showed the
models hair, abundant and light in
texture, caught in a soft coil at the
back of her neck. Some time later
it was decided that the familiar cap
and sheath was a more fitting orna-
ment for the goddess of liberty's
head. Despite persistent rumors
that the engraver put so much heart
and soul into his work that he
ended up by falling madly in love
with Miss Williams. the fact re-
mains that she continued her work
as teacher and always referred to
it as the greatest joy of her life

Old and New Faith
Blended In Japan

When you understand Japan,
"heathendom" will never have quite
the old significance again. The flu
ture of Christianity there lies not
above other faiths, but beside them,
intricately entwined.
When Japan takes on the new, she
never utterly neglects the old; and
just as Christianity made her own
the ineradicable superstitions of
ancient countries, so Buddhism and
Christianity alike incorporate Gus
toms and beliefs held too tenaciously
to be rooted out.
a friend has told me, out of long
and intimate experience with the Jap
anese, the story of a young man of
noble blood who very early became
a Christian. He married the daugh-
ter of a samurai and she embraced
her husbands faith.
Years followed of happiness, then
of deep anxiety and death. Their
eldest child, a beautiful girl not
seven years old, died after devastat-
ing illness. My friend, bound to the
young couple by bonds of old and
close affection, went to the house of
death. The stricken father met him
at the door, the smile of welcome as
ever on his lips, while in silence he
drew back the shofi of the inner
room.
There was the mother, kneeling
and beside her the dead child, white
as the pear blossoms without. In the
child's right hand the mother had
placed her Bible, and across her
breast lay her fathers sword, naked
and shining.
The Word of God was there to
guide her to a better world. But
while her spirit groped through NOR
tai confines the rustless blade of the
samurai made everything of evil keep
its terrified distance.-Ellery Sedg-
wick, in the Atlantic Monthly.

Epaulettes New Effect
in Silhouette Gowns

The slim, soldierly silhouette is
certainly the darling of the French
dressmakers this season. Epau-
lettes in some form or another and
trim, strict lines convey the wooden
soldier effect.
These are sometimes designed
simply on top of the shoulder seam
to tip the point, but more frequent
ly lap hter into short tabs. Reminis-
cent of Elizabethan shoulders in one
instance, the motif changes to a
twisted roll of the material.
A tiny jacket closing in sharply
at the waist resembles a caraco, the
brief jacket worn by the French
peasant woman. 1t comes in vel
veteen and is worn over a fine wool
frock. Short cap sleeves over long
ones give width at the shoulders.
