CT. LOUIS.-Very few Of the many

attend the moving picture shows and
see the words, Licensed by the Ma
tional Board Of Censorship" flashed
on the screen at the end of a film
know what the sentence means. They
have a vague idea that the film has
undergone some sort of scrutiny. They
do not know whether the work mas
been well or indifferently done. except
as they judge from the film
The line flashed on the screen is in
reality a seal of respectability, for the
films that receive the appreciation of
the board are supposed to have had all
Objectionable features removed, If
there were any that needed removal.
The Peoples institute Of New York
started the censorship. The national
board grew out of that. Now It is
censoring 80 per cent. Of the films that
are put on the circuits, most of the
manufacturers voluntarily Offering
their films to be passed on because
they appreciate the value Of the seal
of responsibility which the approval
OF the censors gives.

SYNOPSIS.

Archibald Terhune, a popular and IN
dolent young bachelor of London, re-
ceives news that he has been made heir
to the estate of his Aunt Georgiana, with
an income of 5000 a year, on condition
that he becomes engaged to be married
within ten days. Failing to do so the
legacy will go to a third cousin in Amer
lea. The story opens at Castle Wyckoff,
where Lord Vincent and his wife, friends
of Terhune, are discussing plans to find
him a wife within the prescribed time. It
seems that Lady Vincent is one Of seven
persons named Agatha, all close glrlhood
chums. She decides to invite two Of them
to the castle and have Archie there as
one of the guests. Agatha Sixth strikes
Archie as a handpainted beauty. Agatha
First is a breezy American girl. Lady
Vincent tells her husband that Agatha
Sixth already cares for Archie. He gains
from Agatha Sixth the admission that
she cares for him, but will require a
months time fully to make up her mind.
Agatha First, neglected by Terhune, re-
ceives attentions from Leslie Freer. -Four
days of the precious time have passed
when Terhune is called to London on
business. Agatha First on the plea of
sickness, excuses herself from a motor
trip planned by the Vincents. Later they
see Agatha First picking flowers with a
strange man. The Vincents discuss
Agatha's seeming duplicity.

Censorship for the Moving Pictures

Twice a week, on Mondays and Fri
days, the censorship committee meets
to pass on the films. Before a film is
shown printed cards are passed around
to the censors. On them may be reg
istered either absolute approval OF
disapproval or any features that might
be considered doubtful or objection.

II there are all approvals, the film
is, Of course, passed without further
ado. II there are all reflections, It is,
with as little ado, thrown out. But II
only certain parts come in for either

portions as they object to must either
be stricken out entirely or modified
according to their suggestions.
In practise the manufacturers fnc

just as If they we're to have speaking

Now the careful manufacturer sends
his scenarios to the censors for an.

HAVE REGULAR MENDING DAY
Wise Housewife viii Set Aside Pc
rlod for the Repair Of All Her
Clothing.

There is nothing on earth like sys-
tenn; and nowhere do you realize this
more than In matters of dress. The
tiny hole in your stocking, that you
might have mended in two minutes,
grows into an undarnable run; the
rip under the arm IN your new blouse
extends alarmingly; nothing that must
be mended stays where It is put"
The remedy for all this is a regu-
lar mending day-or a regular mend
ing evening, II you are a business
woman. AS soon as a garment needs
mending-if It be only button or a
hook that must be replaced-put 1t
you must attend to the trouble at
once; and when mending day rolls
around do the required sewing. You
will be surprised to find how much
lighter your work becomes when you
can thus catch rents and tears at their
start instead of at their disastrous
finish.
The other point to remember Is al
ways to have your sewing implements
where you can get them and in per
feet order. DO not wait until the
very moment for mending to find that
you are out of white thread or that
your needles are rusty. When a thing
needs repairing, repair it; when It
needs replacing, replace it. It might
even be a good thing to have a regu-
lar "nranaratiOD daV'' tO autpdata tha
mending one.

d ARIS.-The very latest is to carry

The idea originated in the cracked
brain of that same King Of Fashion

left at home in charge of the nurse.
Dolls are not such a nuisance as ba-
bies and dogs.
These dolls that have ended the day
Of the pet dog are wondrous affairs.
They have a very decorative effect
and are the most expensive toys that
the woman of fashion has had to play
with. The dolls themselves are worth
only few dollars. They have bisuue
features. human hair and reversible
joints, and are about thirty inches
high. But they are gowned complete
by the most celebrated modists in
Paris. Here the cheapest sell for $50.
From there they run up to 5000 each.
Add the $50 duties and transportation
to New York and they will sell there
at from $3.50 to $3.50. Their originator
argues that they win give an incentive

Some little girls are much more sen

center parting and the hair is to be
tied up out of the way plaits are made
and bound with ribbon at the ends, or
the hair is looped up and the bows ap-
pear above the ears. Some little girls
look very quaint and charming with
their ''pigtails" wound spirally over the
ears, a method that is useful when the
hair is to be protected as much as pos
sible from sand showers on the sea
shore
The simpler the mode OF arrange
ment when little girls hair is dressed
for polite occasions, the better for her
appearance and the well-being Of her
pretty tresses. The side parting, the
center parting and the straightly cut
fringe all have their exponents. Hair
"es lank as a yard of pump water" is
not so often seen, and immoderately
crisply curled or ondule locks are Ia
boo. The happy mean is the best
choice of all, and the ways in which
It is secured should be compatible with
the child's comfort and the well-being
of the hair.

Evening Wraps.

Many Of the new evening wraps,
particularly the broadcloth ones, are
almost in Louis XIV style with a
rather tight belt around the waist and
long slashed sleeves with lace ruff
fies. Empire wraps are also seen,
mostly in chiffon and linen and match
ing the frock, or else in black. Mauve
is another general favorite for these.
Gilded evening coats of corded silk
are a pretty novelty, and so is pink
crepe, lined with black chiffon or soft
silk. These last named capes are usu-
ally draped in one of the charming
fashions which have the advantage to
the home dressmaker of being sim
