Last spring at the Bonn Avon school
was given a play by a very young girl
that brought not only commendation,
but predictions of future success as a
playwright. The plot was developed in
a witty, rapid laughter-bringing man
ner and the authoress, Miss Gertrude
Smith of Brazoria, Tex., was warmly
congratulated. That these predictions
were well founded is evidenced in the
success that has already come to Miss
Smith. Her play will be published this
fall and, no doubt, from the praise
accorded it in manuscript form by the
professional readers, will soon be plac
ed on the boards.
Miss Smith’s bright and original
writings have made her a popular vis
itor to San Antonio among a large
circle of friends. She has written sev
eral plays, some of which have been
produced by the literary department of
Bonn Avon school of which Miss
Smith was a student in 1908 and 1909.
Miss Smith is only eighteen years old
and now has the unusual distinction
of being the first Texas girl so young
in years to have had a play accepted
by Samuel French, the publisher. This
play, which could gain no greater suc
cess, from the standpoint of apprecia
tion, than it met last March when it
was given at V-onn Avon school, is en
titled “The Four Innocents.’’ Miss
Annie Lee Kerr had the leading part
and Miss Smith, herself, was in the
cast. The plot is unique, witty and the
fun is evdf-bubbling. It relates the
fate of four English “innocents” who
have been cast away from the sight
of mankind by an eccentric father.
The four are rescued by a merry crowd
of Americans, who rush them madly in
to American ideas and ways with many

Ella—There is a German paste that
may be secured at any drug store that
may be used to darken the eyebrows and
eyelashes. If care is taken to touch
only the hair and not the skin the
brows and lashes can be made much
darker. Of course, it washes off, but
the application can be repeated as of
ten as necessary- I will mail you re
cipe for a bust developer which works
rapidly.
Cleon—For darkening artificially the
eyebrows there are numerous cosmetics
in the shape of pencils and pastes. Un
less they are skillfully applied, how
ever, they defeat their purpose and
make one’look artificial and rediculous.
Rubbing the brows every night with
vaseline, rubbing toward the outer ex
tremities, will make the brows darker
as well as promote the growth.

MAJOR DOUGLAS CLINGS TO
RUNAWAYS ANDSTOPSTHEM
Pluck and Daring of English
Army Officer Rewarded Af
ter Desperate Chase.
Pluck and daring was displayed by
Major George St. Clair Douglas; former
ly of the English army, in stopping two,
frantic horses attached to a hack in an
exciting runaway shortly after 10
o’clock Saturday night on Alamo plaza.
Grabbing one of the horses by the bit
the major held on with the tenacity of
a bull dog, despite the fact that he was
dragged along the pavement at times,
but succeeded in bringing the panting
animals to a stop after they had pass
ed down Crockett street for two blocks.
The team belonged to Levi Stevens,
a negro hackdriver. It was while tjhe
horses were standing in front of the
International & Great Northern passen-' 1
ger depot that they became frightened,
during the absence of the driver, and
ran away. Down Houston street the
team shot swiftly, passing and narrow
ly averting colliding with the hundreds
of vehicles that crowded the thorough
fare. Several attempts were made to
stop the horses, but without success.
Just before entering the plaza, the
team hit a street ear, but did little
damage. This caused the horses to
swing into Alamo plaza towards the
south in the direction of the Alamo
building. Seeing the runaway. Major
Douglas ran from the sidewalk to the
middle of the plaza. He grabbed the bit
of the nearest horse, attempting to stop
him but the pace was too fast. Major
Douglas fell to his knees and was drag
ged a short distance. Regaining his feet
he again made effort to bring the team
to a stop but it was useless. The horses
dashed into Crockett street with Major
Douglas, still clinging to the bit, running,
half falling, but never releasing his
hold. His heroism was rewarded in the
end for after the next two blocks had
been covered, he succeeded in checking
the speed of the horses and finally man
aged to bring them to a stop.

eration or more ago, is again seen.
