Its Dress; Smartness, Motto ociety Retains Simple Modes The Tuxedo Junior Horse Show brought out a large number of So- cial Registeritcs who showed where they stood on the question of simple versus elaborate clothes. Mrs. George Harris had a very al- tractive coat of white silk embroid- ered in black and bonded with black fur over her white sport frock. Mrs. Edwin Main Post was noted in a figured silk frock and a. tiny black hat with a velvet crown and felt brim with a small pearl pin for an ornament. She had a lovely sil- ver fox fur. such as you see these days on every woman who has the cash or the credit necessary to get one.' Mrs. Malcolm Stevenson was there in a most intricately printed track of black and white. with a marvelous silver fox and a large black picture hat with a’vclvet bow somewhere near the back on the brim. At Meadowhrook at the pole match I saw Mrs. Martin Littlcton in a black crepe frock that had white crepe revel-es and a sash of the crepe‘tllut tied directly in the front. Mrs. Littleton rarely appears in color, black and white being her standby. She too carried a olver fox carelessly over one arm, the day being extremely warm. B.yand P.

RICHARD MANSFIELD AS SHE APPEARS TOfiAY AND (RIGHT) AS SHE LOOKED WHEN PLAYING OPPOSITE HER HI'BBAND The shadow of Richard Mansfield again falls over. the trcc~hidden Mansfield estate in New London. Mansfield Grange it is called, and its walls buzz once more with the- atrical activities after :i silence dat- ing from the death of the master actor of his day. 7 From time to time ills widow, Beatrice. Cameron Mansfield, has rested quietly at the Grange frOln her war relief work in Europe and there have been intermittent salons of. artists and writers. But now the picturesque mansion has sprung to life, summoned illto new activity by the call of old stage tradiatlons. For Mrs. Mansfield. who was leading lildy as well as wife to the great Richard, has determined to revive the tradiatiolls he established. And where. silo asks, would one find a better place than that which seems almost haunted by the spirit of Mansfield? , "I' have noticed it ever so many times—l menu the somewhat p8)”- cllic inllllt‘llfm these rooms have upon visitors." she related. sitting in the gloom of tile vast music room which is crowded with tapestries, armor- plate and rare antiques from many parts of the world. From the Willis of this room :l life-sized. malevolent Shylock patches cruftily. with an- other painting of Mansfield undis- guised. “Recently a young lady who stu- died for the stage came to visit and. walking into the room. seemed for a moment to be almost. dazed. ‘Why. you can almost feel Mr. Mansfield‘s presence? she remarked. I had oft- cn thought the sigma thing. but was inclined to credit it to the intimacy of assouintion. “But when person after person commented on this psychological ef. fect it began to take on a somewhat mystical significance. and I began to wonder if it might not affect stu- dents of the drama who studied in its ainlosphcre‘if perhaps. after all. an llltluenee from beyond llll! grave might not be felt." And so it. came about that there was sent out from this little com- munity recently a rather business- like nnnoonccmellt that “the Rich— ard Mansfield Players of New Lon- don had been incorporated and a school for the drama opencd,by Mrs. Mansfield at the Orange!“ “In the old days it was \vpll known in the show world (hut-Mr. Mans- field inculcatod in all the young act- ors about him the fine old iludiiions for which he stood," Mrs. Mansfield continued. “To act Shakespeare, for instance. was to have studied all one could find about the period, the cus- toms. the furnishings. the surround. ings of the time and place in which a. play was laid. it was a mutter of getting into the role through ac- quaintance and psychological ullderg . ” now no :t queen.

Sothern. Mr. lianlpden, Mr. Artists and a few others. The younger gecnration may not feel it. . "‘I'erlnlpe here I may gather a handful more to carry on. I! there are but a few who can see and un- derstand and are scntitive in appre- ciation~~l think it will be worth while. And the old Grange here will do its part. for the actors will live hem-nib this roof and be con- stantly surrounded by that atmos- phere which the personality of Mr. Mansfield has put into it and. who lknmvs, \H: may start a great artist." 1 She led the way through the high- cv'lllngt‘fl rooms, as she talked—- lilll‘oflgll the hallway with its prints inf red-coated hunters. th‘rough the library with its wealth of research lbooks, up the stairway and into the lbcdroonl of the deed artist. l‘li‘l‘t' was a hinge obviously set by the master hand and untouched since his death.
