By KATHARINE DARST. NEVER have we been able to master the art of understanding sport pages. Bit every now and then we do try. What we succeed in extricating from them on such memorable occasions is complete bewilderment that there actually should be a football star named Shakespeare, or four other known as The Four Horsemen. It's all so erudite.

That's what stumps on our latest excursion into the field of Mr. Shevlin we uncovered the novel bit of information that Ivan Rasputin is coming here to wrestle Bad Boy Brown. Now really, they don't mean the Rasputin we mean. They undoubtedly mean some man who looks like a mad monk. Perhaps he picked up the Rasputin on theway over from the old Country, and we don't mean Ireland.

Or it may have been donated by some clever sport writer. But we feel certain that Ivan wasn't born a Rasputin, and there should be some way to indicate that fact to us credulous readers. In the Woman's Section there's a system --ec it Lkt e'4 4. for truth in advertising. When a fur: coat 'I is labeled "Hudson seal' an asterisk follows 1 the description, on, and down below, in very small type is the designated "dyed muskrat." That's the way we women are used to finding out things.

Now if we're going to read Mr. 1 Maurice Shevlin's sport pages for. self 1 provement, he's going to have to give us the 4 1 low-down on these trick-names. When he prints a picture of his Rasputin, we'd like to have it done this way, Ivan Rasputin. Not dyed muskrat.

She bought a variety of materials and studs, producing the garments for summer resort wear. in fall cloths, in dark colors, and in pastels.

Grace Ashley will tell you that she cannot sew a straight seam, but she can so cleverly describe to her workers the result to be attained, that the blouses nev L.J HERE in St. Louis, we have our minds fo- cused on Christmas shopping, our smoke problem, the coming presidential campaign, and next summer's vacation, all things of the ib. woe' future. But out in the state, people are still thinking of the civil war. This is brought home to us every once in a while, for instance, a few weeks ago we admitted some confusion as to why the flag of the Confederacy should fly over a tea room outstate, and Colin K.

Lee of Bowling Green answers: "Because the house, eighty-odd years old, was the home of a locally famous Confederate officer during the war. "Because these old counties along the Mississippi are populated largely by people whose families fought and died for the scarlet battle "Because the proprietress is proud of her ancestors who fought for the South; and feels, properly enough, that the English-speaking race never established more creditable record than did the South, as skill of the general, the courage of the soldier, and the fortitude of the people. "Because, now when Southerners and Democrats are supporting a Yankee President in his effort to rule everything from Washington, it is interesting to recall that Southerners, and Democrats, were once willing to fight a four-years war for the right to local self-government, free from federal interference.

Here are some good recipes using the same foods but in a different way and it isn't a much more difficult way, either. Try them and see if you don't agree. By BELEN CLANTON. Success being the elusive element that it is, those people who attain a measure of it usually have long tales about hard work and intelligent planning they have paid for it.

Grace Ashley, St. Louis designer, has a refreshing story because she is as much surprised as everyone else that her peculiar ability should be recognized. Grace Ashley had been designing custom-made wardrobes for a small clientele for about two years at 4904 McPherson when she hit upon the idea of trimming a simply tailored blouse with men'a studs. That was just last spring. Now she has a factory downtown where she employs 60 people to turn out in the hundreds duplicates of that blouse to be sent all over the United Staes.

The "stud" blouse end dress have become a fashion "classic," which means that they are so simple and useful that they'll be good style for a long, long time. Jeweled Studs.

The dress has the same Sort of blouse with a straight skirt attached.

It's as simple as that. But the tailoring is beautifully done and the garments well-fitted. Surprised and delighted that her friends seemed so pleased with the first stud blouses last spring, Grace Ashley packed two in a box as a gift for friends in Chicago. Once there, she 'decided to try her luck with the buyer of a big department store. "I walked around the block three times before I had the courage to go in," laughed Mrs.

Ashley, "and when I finally saw the buyer, she thought I was a customer with a complaint." But the garments "clicked," and Grace Ashley walked out of the store with her first order 35 blouses.
