Large rats, rolls and puffs are
surely things of the past, but small
rats are still necessary to the
woman with little hair who wishes
to look well. Even in such in

entirely from the top of the head.

CUBAN PARROTS AND POLITICS

For centuries the voluble parrot has
incurred the ill will of a portion of
humankind, by whom bitter curses
have been showered on its unconscious
head. We do not know, however. that
until now it has ever become political
issue, nor that on account of the parrot
a government has heretofore been be-
rated. This appears to be taking place
in Cuba today, if we may trust the
Havana Post, which says:
"Even a parrot on the Isle of Pines
might remark that on occasions Cuban
officialdom does display some prompti-
tude and efficiency.

But 1t seems that the play, The Lit.

before by star company, with Maude
Adams in the leading role, and Of
course the company and the play
made big hit. Armstrong did not
like the prospect Of such an apparent
handicap. and he asked that he be al
lowed to give one of his other picture
plays. But the committee insisted
that he give 1.-The Little Minister"
And with much missiving he did pre-

that had been played by an all-star
aggregation the night before. And It

True and False Happiness,

True happiness Is of a retired ma
ture, and an enemy to pomp and
noise; it arises, in the first place,
from the enjoyment of ones self;
and in the next, from the friendship
and conversation Of few select COM
panions. False happiness loves to be
in a crowd, and to draw the eyes of
the world upon her. She does not
receive any satisfaction from the ap.
plause which she gives herself, but
from the admiration which she raises
in others-Addison.
