"THE PLAY'S THE THING
??
By Emmott Campbell Hall

A marked fcaturo of tho present
Bt-ason Is tho novelties which arc ap-
pearing In tho realm of fashion. Con-
spicuous among theso novoltles may
bo mentioned tho Japaneso outllno of
ttho bodice which Is permitted to
stamp its popularity upon tho blouso
notably upon tho laco blouso which
looks very woll Indeed under such
conditions. I would quote a capital
example made in a combination of
thick white gulpuro strlpod with lines
of black velvet ribbon over a flno laco
front and destined to bo worn with a
flno laco skirt bordered with coarso
laco a very good dress altogether.
Hosldos this I would observo tho
addition to tho laco blouso of mora
ordinary detail of braces of ribbon
short wide alcoves of ribbon and a
belt with sash ends of ribbon. Such
ribbon could bo chlno with a satin
border. This needs a slim figure for
its best success and thoso who aro
nt all stout should trust themselves to
tho simpler bolts of ribbon kid or
leather or striped galon. This last is
comparatively now and Is to bo met
with tho bucklo covered to match.
Tho clastic bolt continues to rocolvo
it supporters and shines beneath tho
tnfluenco of gold and silver. It may
also b'o found faced with volvet and
only under ono condition could I bo
Induced to recognlzo its plauslblo
charms.
But to proceed with my list of
trlllcs. I comment with Joy on tho
continued favor shown to tho lawn
nnd linen collar recognizing that tho
formor dally assumes a finer nspect
nnd is traced with finer stitching no
mlnuto details of design seeming to
bo too Intricate to do It service For
tho prodigal summer blouses aro
mado cnttroly of such luxuries as this
finely embroidered lawn costing no
MTESTM SHIRT MISTS
It is tho rocognlzcd fact In Europo
that American women aro tho most
cxtonslvo woarer3 and tho keenest
critics of tho shirt-waist nnd for this
roason thoy nro constantly on tho
alert for now designs in that partic-
ular articlo of apparel. Tho tailor-
made ahlrt-walst Is llko all made-to-measuro
garmonts distinguishable
for its smartness of cut and fit and
moro and moro aro women appreciat-
ing this fact. Tho two strong points
in favor of tho shirt-waist aro tho mul-
titude of Bhadcs and designs and
cloths in which it may bo obtained
and tho comparative cheapness of this
indispensable article of druss. Freshly
Inundrlod what looks froshor or moro
nttractivq than a woll-mnde well-fitting
Bhlrt-wnlst. Tho shirt-waist worn by
tho lady to tho right In our (lustration
above is mado in tho gauzo cashmero
which btlng puro wool is absolutely
unshrinkoblo. Other good qualities of
tho goods and which should bo Bought
for in a garment of this kind aro tho
smooth clean surfaces which aro re-
t&innrt even after much wear and many

less than eight guineas; and perhaps
their charm is only discernible to tho
expert and nlno women out of ten
would bo ns content with tho linen ba-
tiste blouse bearing hcm-stltchcd
tucks intcrscctod with small satin-
stitched spots and to theso latter I
confess I am much addicted finding
they look equally woll with glnco
coats or cioth or serge.
Thoro aro soino pretty new models
In glaco coats some taking tho
straight Japaneso outllno and being
covered with sllkon braid othors be-
ing in tho paletot Bhapo with a belt at
tho waist and an embroidered lawn
collar round tho neck and a few black
tnssols on tho front and tho slcovcs
striking a decorative note. Tho most
extravagant form of tho glaco coat
howovcr is embroidered all ovor with
floss silk and bears a thickly netted
silken frlngo all round It.
Tho three-quarter coats fitting al-
most tightly and bearing no fullness
In tho basque aro suggcsllvo of tho
Dlrcctolro period with their largo but-
tons and the sleeves full on tho top
but tho absence of fulness on tho
skirt contradicts this Impression to
somo extent.
All tho best of tho now skirts nro
cut on tho cross with a scam down
tho center nnd fitted tightly round tho
hips whllo their decoration Is cither
braid or flatly-stitched bands upon
tho hem and nbova It. Desldos this
tho trimming of tho hour is ombrold
cry and our tasto for It grows apace.
I havo just scon an ndvanca sample
of summer millinery entirely mado of
embroidered batiste this bolng work-
ed into tho crown and n mushroom-
shaped brim and simply trimmed
with a scarf of colored crcpo do chlno.
I can look forward to meeting it again
with much pleasuro
washings and tho happy knack o!
neither creasing nor crushing. This
quality of cashmero comes in small
chocks and othor neat effects which
look so well with plain coat and Bklrt
costumes nnd which llko so many of
tho Bhlrt-wnlstH is mndo with or-
dinary collnr band although this may
bo changed to suit tho individual
tasto.
In tho central figure of tho illustra-
tion Is displayed a waist mado of cot-
ton material which Is exceedingly
smart In its offoct. It is of whlto body
ground patterned with bluo stripe.
Japlcen Is a now but vary popular
material for shirt-waists in fact it Is
so durablo and so desirablo from ev-
ery standpoint of tho shirt-waist re-
quirement that it Is being moro and
moro used. Japleen is a material
mado of Egyptian cotton and silk and
has a pretty silky appearanoe which It
retains to the last. Ono of theso Jap-
leen waists is skotched in our illustra-
tion and is tho ono to tho extreme
loft. Tho shado Is a dellcata mauvo
with a littlo star-shaped spot in tho
3amo color.

"Tho public" John Kennedy of the
Indcpondont Thentrlcnl Company
Limited announced pompously to the
newspaper men '"is growing tired of
poor ehows by peoplo who lmvo noth-
ing but n reputation gotten utmost
nny old way. What thoy want It a
good show n good piny with good ac-
tors and tho name of the actor or
actress doesn't have tho valuo of n
last year's door-check."
It was in following out this plan
therefore thnt Kennedy picked out
Marshall Madden ns his lending man
for "Tho Cottage and the Studio" a
simple littlo tale of struggle and
heartache of strength and the per-
formance of hard duty.
"Hut sny I don't know a thing
nbout this artistic ntmosphoro of
Paris and nil that you know" Mad-
den objected whon his selection was
announced to him. Ills strong point
was "ntmosphoro" nnd "local color"
nnd ho had beon playing for yeRra in
dramas of tho wost. "I have been
fooling with guns and spurs so long."
ho continued "thnt I am pretty near
a real cow-punchor. Hot art student
I'll make."
"That's all right" Kennedy cald
soothingly. "You'll mako good all
right. As to tho atmosphere I'm go-
ing to havo you run over to Paris and
acquire it. You'll start at onco nnd
when you get there you fix up n
studio nnd Join somo class Just llvo
tho thing you know."
"All right" Madden agreed. "How
about tho leading lady? She Is sup-
posed to bo an art studont also you
know."
"Haven't decided on ono Just yet
though I havo ouo in mind" Kennedy
ropllcd.
Tho result of nil of which was that
Bomo four weeks Inter Marshall Mad-
den was established humbly ns be-
fitted his purso and tho part ho was
to play In tho noxt winter's produc-
tion as a full-fledged art studont In
Paris under tho name of Weldon
Hampton.
It was Just a month after his nr-
rival' In Paris that Mnddon met Elslo
Proctor nt a littlo students' gathering
and from that Instant tho days to
Madden wero golden.
In tho frank easy nlr of tho studios
they soon beenmo fnr moro intimate
in a short timo than would havo
been tho enso under nny other cir-
cumstances but nt all times thero
was nbout tho girl n certain shy re-
sorvo that checked too rapid an ad-
vance To Madden sho appeared as
tho ono girl of his llfo and sho was
evidently not indifferent to tho big
handsomo chap though sho could not
resist tho tomptntlon to tease.
That was ono of her most charming
traits although nt times it drovo htm
to the brink of despair.
"Why won't you bo direct with mo
girl?" ho pleaded. "You inurt seo
how much I care don't play with
me" but tho girl would only smllo
Inscrutably.
"You nro very lnrgo for a play-
thing nro you not?" sho would say
laughingly and ho would go away
rnglng inwardly and occasionally
boiling ovor to tho hurt of his studio
furniture.
By and by sho grow moro gentle
and confided to him somo of tho do-
tails of her life how as a child In
her poor cramped nnd bare Now
England homo sho had longed for
somo of tho beautiful things of llfo;
how in that hard soil her artistic tal-
ent had struggled toward blossom
and how at last sho had succeeded in
obtnlntng n position In New York
which enabled her by tho closest
economy to finally como to Paris nnd
take tho courso for which sho had
longed. It would havo to bo short
howovor sho told him; sho would
havo to go homo early In tho coming
fall to again secure her position. A
widowed mother nnd two smallor
children required her support.
"Why that might havo boon Jes-
sie's story!" ho exclaimed nloud.
"Thon sho hns my sympathy
though I do not know her" Elslo said.
"Who is Bho?"
Ho flushed o littlo thinking how
near ho had como to giving away his
secret.
"Oh just a character in a play" ho
said.
"And 'tho play's tho thing' Isn't
It?" sho murmured her oyc3 fixed
upon n distant point.
Madden was startlod. Had Bho
penetrated his mako-heliovo? Almost
at onco howovor sho changed tho
subject and ho gradually grow reas-
sured. As tho tlmo for his return to Now
York drow nearer Maddon pressed
his suit with moro nnd moro ardour
only to bo kopt gently at a safo dis-
tance. At last tho night boforo tho day on
which ho was to leavo arrived. Ho
had called to seo hor and found hor
with suspiciously bright oyes. Her
handkorchlef was crumpled Into n
littlo 'damp ball in her hand and hor
slonder form drooped wearily.
Madden seated himself upon tho
couch besldo her and took hor hands
in his.
"I am going to-morrow dear" ho
whispered. "Will you not say you
caro a littlo for mo that you might
somo day?"
"I I do caro. Weldon" tho girl
said slowly; "caro moro than I have
Story Pub. Co )
let you see. Hut you it it real to
you?"
It was hi cue In the last act nt
"The Cottage nnd the Studio" that
ho had unknowingly spoken hut In
the stress or his emotion he did not
notice It. Unconsciously however
he took It up.
"Is It ical? How can ymt ask that
sweetheart?" he cried ami pressed
the hand be held to his lip. "Can't
you see feel how great la my lovo
for you how great my need? Oh
sweetheart 1 love you love you! Will
you not marry mo. darling?"
His arras weie about her and he
dr?w her gently toward him.
"If I could but know only know"
she whispered and they were the
lines that "Jessie" should speak.
"Prove me as you will my darling"
ho urged and tried to draw her closer
but tho girl wrenched herself free and
spraug to hor feet.
Thoio Is no need to prove you fur-
ther; you nro a good nctor" sho said
bitterly.
For a momont he gazed nt hor tin-
comprohendlngly then the truth
burst upon him that ho had been go-
ing through tho scene word for word
of tho parting in "Tho Cottage nnd
tho Studio."
"Hut how how did you " ho be-
gan bowlldcrcd but tho girl walked
to tho othor end of tho room.
"Plcaso go nway" sho said coldly
and ho rose unsteadily to his feet. "I
liopo your rehorsal has been of bene-
fit" she added mockingly ns with
downcast eyes ho stumbled from her
prenonce
What could It mean? Ho asked
himself the question a thousand times
and nrrlvod at no answer. Only ono
thing stood out clearly and that was
that ho had lost hor tho only girl ho
had ovor loved thatsho regarded
him ns ono who would take ndvnn
tnge of a pretended lovo to uso a girl
us a lay-flguro on which to hang tho
tlnsol rags of tho stage
Upon his arrival In Now York ho
found a call for a meeting of the new
company to tnko placo In a wck Ho
throw tho sheet from him with n
groan.
"I can't do it!" ho cried but the In-
stinct of tho actor was strong In Mad-
den nnd promptly nt tho hour namod
In tho call he entered tho theater.
Kennedy contless hot and beam
ing seized upon him.
"Hello old man!" ho exclaimed
Joyously. "Como on and meot the
bunch. Say I'vo got tho greatest
ever nnd no papor-houso In thnt
either. If wo don't mako 'cm sit up
como on hero's our leading lady."
Maddon turned nnd looked into tho
eyes of Elsio Proctor.
"Miss Dates this Is Mr. Marshall
Madden oxcuso mo ploa3oI" ho said
and rushed away.
Tho girl held out hor hand anu
smiled.
"How aro you Mr. Hampton" sho
said and laughed tin uncertain littlo
laugh.
"You you know nil tho tlmo?" ho
gasped. "Kennedy sont you to Pnrls
tou why Oh why didn't you toll mo
girl?" Sho could not but see tho pain
in his oyes nnd hor own softonod.
"It did It matter much?" sho
asked.
"No not to you. Hut to mo It has
taken all tho gladnoss out of llfo for
mo. Of courso I will roslgn my part
In this company I know what your
feelings must bo nt the bare sight of
mo but I desplso myself much moro
'than you can possibly' ho said slow-
ly nnd turned uwny.
Sho came nearer to him and laid a
hand gently upon his arm.
"Please don't" Bho said softly.
"You you want me to stay?" ho
stammered m whllo a light of Joy
flamed In his oyes.
"Yes" sho nnsworod so softly that
ho could hardly cntch tho words. "I
think wo could act that parting bo
woll on tho stago deareBt."
And Inasmuch as they happonod to
bo standing behind nn opportune piece
of sccnory nnd tho othor members of
tho company wero gathorod about
Kennedy at tho other sido of tho
stage no ono saw what happened
thou except tho old janitor and ho
will novor toll.
