Pretty Knees a Must

Are you going to bare your

shorts and knee-high sox?
Yes? Then see that your
knees look prettier for this
unveiling than your scrim-

The difference in looks be-
tween scrubby knees and love-

stone, a creamy lotion and in
a girls willingness to use
these beautifying aids.

Irish designers are compare

fashion scene. But Irish tweeds.
linens and laces have capti-
waited the women OF the world
for q great many centuries.
The jewel tones and misty
effects Irish tweeds possess
have often been used by the
worlds finest designers out
side Of Ireland to fashion mag
nificently tailored clothes.
washington women will have
an opportunity to see the de-
signs Of Sybil Connolly, Irene
Gilbert and Nelli Mulcahy
of Dublin, Ireland at the first
Irish fashion collection to be
shown on Tuesday. October 5
at the Arts Club. The ia
shions are part Of q touring
show being staged under the
sponsorship of Lady Valerie
Goulding for the benefit of
the Central Remedial Clinic
in Dublin.
Mrs. John Joseph Hearne.
wife Of the Ambassador of
Ireland, just back from her
first visit to Ireland in nine
years, says that right now
there is a greater conscious
ness Of fashion in Ireland than
ever before. Much more space
Is being devoted to fashion
news in the press, and the
upsurge of new Irish fashions
and their talented young de-
signers is very thrilling to
the Irish people.
She brought back with her a
mohair coat with q large
wrapped collar Of sheared
beaver and a gray worsted
dress. While Horse Show Week
was going on in August. Mrs.
Hearne noticed that the
women at the race meetings
were all dressed in beautifully
cut-tailored clothes.
"Our weather doesn't permit
us too much leeway," says Mrs.
Hearne, explaining further
that daywear in Dublin. for
example, is always in tweedy
vein.
Government Helping Out
The Irish Government is
very interested in the way
Irish designers have captured
the public's fancy in the fash
ion arena. They are helping
their cottage weavers with the

been established to help them

and other colorful Irish folk

Most Irish fashions with the
exception of the evening gowns

Dancing With Deborah

Dance with you, my dear? What
could say?
But there's a newscast, here a
tenor'S song.
No dance tune-but we'u love it
anyway.
Swinging, floating, bobbing down
the hall,
Clinging tightly, lightly; looking
long
And laughing in the mirror on the
wall.
That you'll have other partners,
allow;
And other arms May they be
kind and strong
That hold you as your daddy holds
you now.

WRAP YOUR HOUSE plant in
polyethylene plastic before vacation
ing and you can leave it for as long
as three weeks without watering it.
These plastic sheets eliminate sauc-
ers and there's no leakage to mar
the furniture. Rootings wrapped in
this material will also thrive for
weeks without water and you can
isolate cuttings or plants in separate
sheets of plastic.
Be sure to scrub the plastic thor
oughly with thick soapsuds each
time you use it. Rinse well and

ship, so the most famous and skilled
designers were consulted. Mrs. A. E.
Gilman went to Chicago and there
secured the excellent assistance of
Mr.. Oscar Cobb. He had designed
many famous theaters both in Eu-
rope and America, so he brought to
Great Falls the pearls of his rare ex-
perience.
1t was located at Third street
north off Central avenue and the
brick and stone work was let to the
Roberts Contracting Co., operating
locally, but the stucco work was done
by Bartholmy of Chicago. From Chi
cago also the services of the stage de-

Herman Ludke, also of Chicago. The
Kane Company of that city supplied
the seats and furnishings.

committee strove always to obtain
finer and finer furnishings for the
Grand.
Now let us look at the lower floor
.. and we see from the design that
it seated some 500 people There were
boxes, the parquet boxes, gallery
boxes and the balcony which seated
some 300 persons. The stage was a
very large one for the times Listed
were several hundr pieces of
scenery, traps to disappear into what
was called "The Hamlet" ''The Mac
BETH" 'The STAR" ''The Vampire"
''The Center" and many mechanical
devices known at the time.
There were sound effects-thund-
er, rain and lightning and many
others ready to use should the situa-
ton in a production require them.
Dressing rooms totaled 16, and
stars dressing room. This was the
most elegant of all, for the star was
given every consideration. 1t was

ing the prima ballerina, Anna
Pavlova.
Finest Accommodations
The theater designer, Oscar Cobb,
planned well, for every known COM
fort was devised for the audience.
It is stated in accounts of the time
that this stage could accommodate
any company of players who came
from Minneapolis and Chicago. These
troupes would usually go on tc
theaters in Spokane and San Fran
cisco.
Much beautiful scenery was sup
piled and, indeed, upon occasions al
resemblance to a theater could be
removed by the special sacred set:
which could be put in place anc
church services held for large con
gregation. Some of these sets were
for the Easter theme, and one which
recall was for Christmas. It de
picted the Three Wise Men and th'
Nativity scenes.

Cakes

THE ART OF CAKE baking is
often learned, as it is by the little
miss in the picture-from her mother
in her own kitchen. Anyone who will
follow the rules may be a good cake
baker. Important in the achievement
are the ingredients, the measure
ments, the oven, the frosting.

selves and the managers. The box
office in every city in the land suf-
fered backset.
In 1898 all the bands played ''Re-
member the Maine" and the country
celebrated the fact that the war with
Spain had been won. The amusement
world laughed again for the Boer
war was still a year off and Queen
Victoria was on the British throne.
1t was a period of lavish and ex-
pensive living. Much laughter and
music went on behind the footlights.
Sold in 1902
In 1902 things seemed to have
again changed and the Grand theater
was offered for sale at a fourth of
what it cost. 1t was purchased by
sentimental family whose life story
is volume all by itself. This now
was the time for great new improve
ments and the Grand was put into
shape again to receive the truly great
names of the theater. The Sutton
family and their "Uncle Dick" are
legend now.

I Met Pavlova
Patronesses' receptions were held
after these performances, but on the
night of January Is, 1921, when
Anna Pavlova and her Ballet Russo
were presented, the entire audience
fingered so long that we were unable
to handle the large crowd. 1t is this
lucky turn of events which gave me
my wonderful opportunity of seeing
the great ballerina alone in h
dressing room and to present hel
with the gold cigaret case. So many
have asked me in these later year:
just what she did really look like a
close hand, and what did we say K
each other?
The cigaret case was gift from ;
local club who loved and admired
her for she was one of their country
men, the old Imperial Russia. Ma
dame appeared quite small and ex
