$4,000 YEAR SAIARY-"DOT" REFUSED
1T BECAUSE SHE WOULDN'T LEAVE HUBBY

Los ANGELES, Cal, Feb. 22.-
Doorthy Bernard was recently Of
fered a three-year contract at a
salary of $4,000 year, to work
exclusively for a certain moving
picture concern, posing for but
one film a week.
She refused the contract.
She has a number of reasons,
One of them is her husband. A.
II. Van Buren,, from whom she re-
fuses to be separated. Another
reason is young Van Buren,, not
many months old, who, of course,
cant leave his mother, and from
whom father refuses to part for
very many hours at a time.
She first tried the picture bust
ness for fun. Later, she went at
Iit seriously. when she found that
the managers of canned drama
wanted her. and wanted her at a
high figure.
Her acting in canned drama"
shows an intensity of expression
especially In serious roles-which
equals the pantomine of the great
French picture players, who are
credited with the most wonderful
visual histrionism ever thrown
upon a screen.

On a sultry afternoon a Japan
ese junk came down the bay, bear
ing a party of Japanese. They
were admitted to Perry's flagship
and received by the junior officers
Perry refused to treat with them
He was an envoy of great nation
and he refused to receive a less 81
person than an envoy of equa
rank coming directly from the
japanese emperor.
The Japanese gentlemen fiddled
around, and thought they would be
insulted. Then they looked at the
big black guns of the American
ships, and thought they wouldn't
Finally they gathered up the
skirts of their flowing robes and
gracefully retired, while the Am.
orleans watched them sail away in
their picturesque craft. A little
later proper envoy came to re-
ceive the message of the president
of the United States.
Perry retired in his ships tic
give the little brown men time tc
think it over. He cruised the
following winter in Chinese wat
ers, and when he returned to Yed-
do bay March 80, 1854, he found
the people ready to welcome him
with open arms. Thousands OF
little Japanese lanterns twinkled
In his honor on shore, reflectinp
their lights in the waters of the
bay. There was no thought of re-
Isistance now. The emperor and
his councillors of state were re-
Iceived on board the Mississippi;
there were fetes and the treaty
was signed.
| Perry wrought a bleodless revo-
Tuition In Japan, and will stand in
history as an immortal hero OF
peace. He sailed home in triumph
and the doors of Japan were
thrown open to the nations. Fac.

islands, and they adopted the ways

Dear Miss Grey: | am a girl
16 years old. Last, Sunday q
girl friend and myself went over
to Seattle with two boy friends
whom we have known for some
time. We came back on the IL
O'Clock boat and went to a down
town cafe to supper before going
home. Now find that a few peo-
pie made remarks. Was it i'm
proper for us to do this?
DOUBTFUL.
At was not improper for
you to go to Seattle with the right
sort of boys, but it was improper
for you to come home so late and
to dine afterwards with a chap
erone. Young people too often
forget the question of chaperon-
age.
Dear Miss Grey: l am o boy 3
feet, 3 inches tall. Do you think
that | am too short to go with a
girl four inches taller than my
self? l know that a great many
people think that such a proper
toned couple look ridiculous, but
we care a great deal for each 9th
er, Do you think that it makes
any difference? SHORTY.
A.-No of course 1t does not
make any difference. If you real

Goes Around to the New York
Shops to Write About the
Latest Paris Spasm for the
Women of Tacona-They-

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-Oh, you
girls of Tacoma. Get ready! The
divided skirt, after 10! these many
years of strenuous striving to be

of that artist and high priced Paris
modiste, Paul Poiret. The repre-
sentatives of the New York mo-
6istes saw it on their New Year
trip to the French capital and
quickly rushed models by fast
steamers to this side.
Well, the Paris divided skirt
isn't exactly the skirt that the
American modistes are going e
ask us girls to wear. It's modi-
fled thing; and confidentially, II
say to you that the American divid-
ed skirt isn't a divided skirt at all

term.

fashions

Chenille cloth resembles wooden
crepe, of soft texture and light
in weight, will be used for spring
dresses. Large patches of flat en-
broidery will be used on frocks of
this material
Knitted scarfs are now broad
and are fitted at the shoulder
seams. On many there are stand
ing collars that can be turned down
| If the wearer prefer.
Jackets are lined with contrast
| ing colors. The Innings usually
match the collars and cuffs of vel
vet, and on many new suits these
are of bright hues.
Linens are shown IN many new
weaves and a host OF new color
ings.
All evening gowns are longer.
Round length models touch the
ground.
Plaids, checks and striped ging-
| hams, plain and fancy percaleS,
chambrays, linens, dotted mulis
and printed organizes are among
the popular wash fabrics for chill
dren this season.
Wide braids are used in perpen-
dicular bands and panels and In
circular rows on skirts and in
fancy sections here and there on
Doth coats and skirts and for cuffs
and collars on coats.
Fancy white bonnets for infants
are to be had in many dainty eff
fects, the most elaborate show
ing a great deal of hand embroid-
cry.
Borders are one of the chief
characteristics of many of the new
cotton materials, and are charm
fngly exploited on the striped and
dotted French swisses, cotton
voiles, and marquisettes, French
tulles, mousselines, and pongettes.
- The fashions of the last month
have established beyond a doubt
the fact that the empire tenden-
cfes will prevail for some time to
come. The waist line in both
dresses and coats has been height
ened, and when the cut of the gar
ment is not pronouncedly empire
then the trimming is so applied
as to simulate the short wasted
effect.
Evening gowns are delightfully."-
simple, relying on color for the
gorgeous effect that they give.
Variations OF violet seem
to be in demand, and are hined
with every other color-yes, even
red.
Neck bows of narrow black vel
vet ribbon with tiny silk rosebuds
as pendants are very attractive.

cord; stitch in the shirrs, then
bend back the wire an inch and
wind with thread; push through
the shirrs and draw it to requir-
ed length and shape it to your
fancy.
