There are six fortunate llttlo girls in Loa Angeles, six happy little girls, from 11 to 13 years of age, who" crowned the year's school work a short time ago by appearing in a programme, of Shakespeare In costume, in In understanding and Spirit Now all little girls like to "speak" pieces," but to entertain a few hundred intelligent grown-ups by speaking the "pieces" of WiU 11am Shakespeare, when so manv delightful movies are moving, tha weather warm and the grown-'uDs very busy, is something to take note; of.

Even Bill Nye says Shakespeare "Wrote good Dlecns." nnd whil have always agreed with the statement. we nasion to indorse It "out loud."

All this will find a larger place in life too as time goes on, lor the writing large upon the wall that the grum-" bling wish of the public for better drama will develop into an emphatlo demand for a type of play whose foundation is education and a knowl- edge and appreciation of the beautiful. If the professional theater does not supply this, the amateur companies can and win, and these companies be- ing recruited from homes of culture, -It behooves these six little girls to be- come famous in their home town" who knows? In the fall Mrs. Dobinson plans to give a play from the pen of the Bard by this Juvenile club, assisted, of-course, by lesser lights, and If you are wise, you will be pj-sent if you can. The little club has so far appeared only in scenes from favorite plays, as Hamlet," "Merchant of Venice." "As Tou Like It," "Twelfth Night."

Kin George of England was 60 years old June i. He enters his fifty-' first year in robust health, but with' greater anxieties than have weighed upon any British monarch In modern times. Count Okuma, though he Is the au. thor of books and pamphlets and Innumerable magar.lne and newspaper articles, dictates all his work to a secretary and so far as Is known has never even written his own signature. The truth of the matter Is that he forms the beautiful Chlneae ters like a school boy, and, since the autographs of the great are hlghly prlxcd In Japan, many expedients have been unsuccessfully tried to gor a acrap of his writing.

Everyone said It could not possibly nessing the service. Rev. A. F. Road-house, of the First Christian Church, pronounced the marriage service.

Season When They Most Need Their Strength to Withstand the Heat Hot weather has a decidedly weakening effect on most women. They become too languid to exercise, and as a result have appetite only for light, tasty foods, like salads and other cold concoctions, which do not digest readily and increase the natural tendency to constipation. At this season women should maintain the highest possible standard of health, to counteract the enervating effect of the weather. Good digestion and regularity of the bowels are essential.

With this house from the earliest day, Mr. Metcalf has learned as no outside architect could possibly learn, the needs of the house. It is due to the fact that he has actually worked In the various departments of the place that no convenience has been forgotten, no time- saving device which means money- saving as well omitted. It is not an accident that cash registers exist where they can do the most good and where sales-slips are not needed: or that the overhead system prevails in those departments where direct communication with main desks Is necessary. To the casual observer the Intri cacies of an establishment like the Broadway are sealed, but to him who has rrown up with it.

not so. And to have grown up with the Broadway Department Store la to have grown rapidly. It is less tnan nine teen years since this store occupied a space of 25x50 feet and employed not more than ten salespeople. Today the store haa a floor space or more man eleven acres. Quite a ranch, that! And the employees number about 1600.

No. department has been neglected 1n the arrangements of the new store. Every stock heretofore offered has been enlarged and its quarters per fected. Several new features are pre sented in the New Broadway. For example, there is an evening room for the display of table damask.

In this brilliantly lighted room you may see Just how the new napery will look when your table is ready to serve tne dinner to vour friends. There is not only a well-appointed, not to say luxurious, French evening room, where the tint oi tne reception gown or the ball-room frock may be decided upon In relation to one com plexion, but there la also an evening room where rabrics may be cnosen, Silks and velvets have a way of elud ing the shimmer of day-time light, but In the revelation or electrlo light tnoy will appear as you wish them to look when worn. A big dumb-waiter, con nectlng the stock receiving rooms in the basements with those above stairs, Is a new feature. A huge stock "lift" also leaves free the passenger elevators for the ex clusive use or natrons and employees. A battery of eleven elevators, in addition to the brace of elevators already In use lne the first unit of the store, Insures practically unlimited service to those who freauent tne nouse.

The Dublin will be greatly gratinea ttnon Inspection of the rest rooms of the new store. Upon a most spacious and lavish scale, these comforts are dealmed tn make the place a real downtown home for women. A wide raat room, having broad aivans up holstered In leather, invites tne urea shopper to alt or to recline, while every modern device for comfort and cleanliness haa oeen proviaea. On the first floor, a bargain center, such aa haa heretofore been the objective point of shoppers, has been made the focussing point around which are disposed the usual depart ments, all upon an enlarged and am nliried scale. The front of the store, now that the scaffoldings are removed, discloses an imDosIng and harmonious structure.

Of white tile, with handsome embel lishment, dignity and masslveness strike one as the main features of the edifice. Stability, sanitation and com fort for employees, features Insisted upon by Arthur Letts, have been amnlv nut into effect by the builders. The Imposing windows are finished In muhonnr with inlay or rare wooas, the same finish prevailing throughout the linuae). The formal opening will be held later on. Mystifying.

STORE DOUBLED IN FEW HOURS. EXPANSION1 OP TOD BROADWAY SEEMS FEAT OP MAGIC Business Going on Serenely Friday in Ilalf of Structure Completed Some Time Since Will Open Tomorrow in Entire Building, with Everything In Place. Outdoing in magical expansion Jack's fabled bean-stalk, the Broadway Denartment Store grew in almost a single night from an institution of goodly size to one of double capacity, and that without Interruption of busi ness. Friday the first unit ef the new Broadway, some time since completed and occupied, was transacting bust ness, undisturbed to all appearance by any thought of moving. Tomorrow morning that Institution will pursue the even tenor of Its way upon a scale multiplied by two.

All this will have occurred without a ripple, and the magical move, aecomplinhed practically over night, will have taken piece without an hour's work today. Friday It did not seem poeslble the entire building could be in readiness for Monday morning's business. Woodwork was receiving Its supplementary polishing, counters were standing undecidedly around and, In fact, to the uninitiated eye, chaos reigned. Workmen hastened In all directions and the master mind in charge of all was nowhere vlHlblo. Yet tha genius of this achievement la F.
