FRENCH FAMILY DINNERS.
People Who Eat Sensibly and Make
the Most of Their Food.

A typical French dinner-not an ex-
cepdOnal one, mark you. but such a
dinner as a small bridesmaids family
would have-is incomparably superior
to the plain roast dinner.
There would be, first of all, a few
relishes, according to the season of the
year. Radishes. ice cold; sardines.
olives, caviare. Just little of each with
which to awaken the appetite, then
the soup to excite gently the liquids of
the throat and stomach. then a little
entree-usually bit of fish with its
appropriate vegetable, or a handful Of
vegetables favored with meat sauce.
Then, and not till then, does the chief
course appear.
1t may be a roast, or game. or chick
en-. or chops, but in no case will ii be
anything which is not in harmony
with the previous courses and it will
be eaten in moderation. for the edge
of the diners appetite will have been
dulled by the lighter foods which have
preceded it With it comes the salad
varied throughout the year by all
the possible changes of the season, and
never, never by any possibility will II
be such a dreadful hybrid as the 70
maine, strawberry and green pepper
thing. After the salad there will be
fruit or mellow cheese. and then cot
fee.
Ii will take two hours to eat such 6
dinner, but 1t viii take only half whai
the typical American dinner costs t.
pay for it and there will be no indi
gestion afterward no matter Of VIDA
the dinner is composed. Has

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl
of 10 years. l have brown eyes and
brown hair and am sort of good look
ing, but / don't seem to take among
my boy friends. All are sociable with
me and treat me very nicely when
meet them out, but that is as far as
it goes. Not one Of them ever asks
to call on me. I'm good friends with
them all and treat everyone of them
alike, but maybe l don't make enough
of fuss over them. But l can't do
that, only to a certain extent, and
III admit there is one of them I'd
like TO have as a beau. l know he
likes me, too.
Now please tell me, Mrs. Thompson,
what to do. I'm willing to take your
advice.
I'm discouraged. Wouldn't you
be, too. ANXIOUS GIRL.
Why not invite the particular friend
to Sunday evening tea? Then make
yourself so entertaining and altogeth.
er nice that he'll want to come again.
You might invite several OF the boys
and girls to your home for an infor-
NAL little party; dancing or games or
music; make it a monthly affair, and
so get the boys used to coming to
your house. Take pains to be inter,
esting to the boys. Find out the
things they are interested in and get
them to talking about those things
and about themselves. A boy likes
to think he is the whole thing" you
| know.
Don't act as if you were crazy for
/ their friendship. but let them see
that you are interested in their opin
| ions and their work.

HERO HURT WHILE
APPEARING BEFORE CAMERA

When the wonderful representation
of the stirring scenes about which Sir
Walter Scott wrote in "Ivanhoe" are
seen in this country, through the enter.
prise and ingenuity of the Imp Film
Company, the public will be able to
grasp for the first time the infinite
skill, knowledge of historical associa-
tions and Yankee assurance necessary
to produce with modern accessories and
actors the stirringf scenes of Merrie
England in the days of Robin Hood and
Richard. For this is just what has
been done and thoroughly, too, accord
ing to the advices which have reached
the Universal from all sources
Herbert Brenon, the manager of the
company, has earned the admiration of
all who have heard of or witnessed his
exploit. And, strange as it may seem,
he is a veritable hero in the little town
of Chepstow, where the scenes were en-.
acted, this though he interrupted the
work of the town and its inhabitants
for a fortnight and used the men Of the
foundries and other industries to de-
fend and attack the castle and to pro.
vide local color in such capacities as
being thrown from the castle wall and
being drowned in the moat. 1t all add.
ed to the fame Of the community and
that pleased Chepstow, for nothing like
the Ivanhoe" film has ever been
made in England, and those who parti.
cipated in it will have something to re-
member all their lives.
But the wonderful picture was not
taken without actual peril and exhibi.
tions of pluck and bravery on the part
of the actors. One instance of sacrifice
to the interest of the film will serve to
show the devotion of the actor to his
calling

for the qualities which have placed him
at the head of the Imp company, He is
a remarkable actor, and, as the crisis
proved, he had the stamina when the
necessity arose.
In the IvanhOe pictures Mr.. Brenon
used about one thousand men as soldiers
and extras. They look like ten times
that many. A great castle was borrow
ed for the occasion and the British mu-
seums were ransacked for historically
correct arms, armor and other proper
ties.
The film will stand the company in
a good sized fortune before the picture
is ever thrown on the screen, and IT is
a remarkable attestation of the enter
prise of the Universal Film Manufac-
turing company.

The Manicure Lady
By william F. Kirk.

l was listening to a fat gent com.
ing down in the Sar this morning, -
said the Manicure Lady. "He was
talking about how he had worked for
years and years, and now he was rich
and happy. He was telling how he had
his fine country home and his city home
and his cars and all the rest of the
things that wealth brings, and how hap
py he was, and what a good world this
is"
=" He had right to feel that way
when everything was so easy for him, -
said the Head Barber.
"That amt the way I figure it at
all, George" declared the Manicure
Lady. 81 may be wrong, but it seems
to me that if | was rich and fat that
would be just the time I would feel the
saddest for all the millions of people
that amt rich and tat, and shem that
is fat and poor. l don t see how that
man could be altogether happy when he
knows that in the city of New York
alone there is over hundred thousand
hungry folks every day, folks that ain Y
able to buy nothing good to ratify or
deplease their hunger.
"If l had a million dollars I would
try to limit myself to just enough for a
nice, comfortable living the rest of my
life and scatter the rest of it where it
would do the most good. I could care
for all the needy l could, and every
time heard of poor little shop girl

ing all them good deeds"
l think you are a mighty good girl
to have them Dreams" said the Head
Barber, "but of course, dreaming don 7
do no good. You have to have the mil.
lions first before you can help the poor.
There is so many of the poor, too many.
Things ain t the way they ought to be
in this world, kiddo. The trouble with
you and me is that, like a lot of other
good-hearted folks, we never have
enough at one time to help the really
poor. All had this morning was car
fare and lunch money, and the guy
that just went out paid me $40 that 1
never expected to get in this world"
"Ain't that queerH" exclaimed the
Manicure Lady. "Brother Wilfred
paid me back $40 this morning that ]
had kissed bood.bye to long ago. I felt
so good about that I went and bought
me a new summer lid, which makes
