picture drama, for which battleships of
the United States Navy and a cast of
genuine officers of the United States
Navy furnish features in scene and cast,

mally inaugurating the regular season at

with a host of admirers whose per-
ennial enthusiasm is characteristic and

Mr.. Wilson. like his plays, which are
all constructed to display his characteris-

songs are perhaps the brightest feature.
has built up an apparently indestructible
popularity that never even seems to tire.
From time to time the name Of the play
changes, but the same spirit Is In evil
dence, and that is all that is necessary to
make 1t q genuine Wilson success.
"A Rolling Stone enables the star to
dispense with the blond wig that has
adorned his head 10 these many years

His voice has all Of its old tricks and his

melodic sweetness. while his dialect,
which years ago opened the vista OF
success to him in a field In which he had
his own doubts, is still sufficiently the
Wilson brand of broken German that has
delighted American ears perhaps q mil
lion times.
His supporting company is ample in all
respects to furnish the settings Of his
play and unravel its plot. Laura

To put the veil on the hat first put
around the neck and fasten the clasp,
then take the two ends and draw up
on the hat, drawing the veil into place
as heretofore. 1t will be very neat,
and there will be no raw edges, which
are so ugly with the collarless necks
This new idea increases the wear of
the veil and keeps it fresh looking as
long as it lasts.
The very latest word in wells is a
pale lavender in color to match the
new powder, with strange black fig
ures that seem only to be the surface

Gary is always having something

story about the young couple, a
Greek bridegroom and a Hungarian
bride. neither of whom could speak
the others language, getting spliced

sisted by an interpreter with a
knowledge of Greek, Hungarian and
English.
How in the world did this young
fellow ever propose to the girl?
And he only knew her a week,
Here is an instance where Cupid
got in rapid action, surrounding ter
rible difficulties Yet some couples,
with every facility and advantage In
their favor, will take year or two
before each will make known to the
other the thing that they both want
to hear.
No doubt our male readers will be
tickled because the bride in this in
stance can't very we'll ask for a new
dress or an Easter hat, and probably
our feminine contingent will think
how nice it will be because hubby

She now has all the earmarks OF

would think her a sportive lady OF
