tale impressively.

stage lighting and who are men,
bers of the staff of the National

GONVICK-Attracted to farm house by the
fact that no smoke had been seen issuing from the
chimney for several days, neighbors found Ole vi
gen, an aged farmer, lying fully dressed bed.
1t seems the farmer, slightly rs, had tried to
gather some fuel shortly before storm. Be-
coming i'll he had to return home. All the fuel he
had in the stove and when it burned out he was
without heat. He remained in the house for several
days before neighbors to his assistance. Taken
to hospital it was considered unlikely he would sur
vive the cold and lack of food suffered while in
voluntary prisoner in his home because his
feeble condition would not permit his going to neigh

Congressman William Irving Srovich, of New

theater by destructive criticism" Critics reply that
Congressman Sirovich wrote an inferior play, the
critics said so. and this annoyed him.
Mr.. Sirovich's play may have been bad; none
the less much modern criticism written pri-
narily to prove what smart little boy the dramatic
critic is and not written to help the theatre by Of
fering constructive suggestions to managers, play
wrights and actors
Modern criticism may be described unfortunately,
"smartaleck" criticism.
Criticism worth while encourages the actor or
playwright generously points out his defects kindly,
avoids wounding his feelings. Modern critics might
study Boileau's way of criticzing and encouraging
the young poet Racine. When the latter wrote to
Boeau. II ought to tell you that write with great
facility" the reply was ST hope to teach to write
with great difficulty"

 Used by Paris

Associated Press Fashion Editor) PARIS. Dec. lo.-String, bone, and blocks of wood appear as trimming bits on the newest clothes designed by Vera Borea. Blouses of knitted string for sports suits, little white bone stir rup' fasteners, and clips closing with wooden bars are all used as unusual trims in the slim sample silhouette which she sponsors.
 Two or three colors generally are combined in the trig wool ensem- bles shown for daytime wear. A slim coat of olive green wool col- Jared in leopard is worn with a plain green skirt and soft yell low blouse topped with tanger- inc scarf.
 A tangerine wool frock has a pull-through angora scarf of gray banded in chocolate brown.
 Fur and leather waistcoat jack cts are another new trick. A belted brown wool coat collared in baby seal appears with a brown wool skirt and a vest made of the baby seal, while hedge wool ensemble has a similar waistcoat of brown leather.
 Coque fabrics (the new quilted materials with uneven surface giv- l ing "blistered' effect) are widely ! used for both formal and every day wear, wools and silk crepes appearing in this weave. Colors shown in the new collection stress scarlet, brick, olive green, black .white, cobalt blue and raw corr to pale yellow
 Even dinner frocks are bull on the simplest of lines, thei chief trim being new dull sequin which lack the glitter of the clas. sic variety. A dinner frock O cobalt blue crepe has for its only trim pointed belt of dull blue sequins.
