blonde curls. big wistful blue eyes, and
budding girlish figure. just as one sees
her In the motion pictures.
Although she is almost twenty, Miss
Pickford still believes in fairies. and
especially in the good fairy who has

Former Film Actress, New Star,
Would Have Reels Taken of
Children in Home.

a YEAR or more ago, when the
~ young California couple had de-
n cided that a motion picture OF
their wedding would be a novel
record which they could hand down &c
their posterity. something which would
last forever. the newspapers all over
over the country had much to say abou,
the matter. This incident, however,
was but the forerunner, a prophecy, as
1t were, of the wonderful possibilities
OF motion pictures other than in the
theaters and like places of amusement.
Later. the country heard Of birthday
parties, golden wedding anniversaries,
garden parties. and other social events,
which were recorded by the motion pic
ture camera, to be kept as souvenirs of
pleasant gatherings. Now comes the
latest suggestion regarding motion pic
lures as means Of recording intimate
family events.
The suggestion is made by Mary Pick
ford, perhaps the best known motion
picture actress in the country. the pret-
ty curly haired girl who graduated from
moving pictures to the legitimate when
David Belasco chose her for the part Of
the heroine in "The Good Little Devil"

THIEVES NEVER QUIT

knows the old trick with a hunk OF
chewing gum. The first thief sticks a
ring under the ledge OF the counter
with the gum. Then the other comes
along and runs his hand under the
counter edge and gets the ring and
vamooses. Open umbrellas are often
used as receptacles.
The neatest trick turned lately was
in the west, when a good looking, well
dressed man sauntered into a jewelry
store with an apple in his hand. He
looked at tray allied with valuable
rings.
"Wah!" he suddenly sputtered.
This apple is wormy"
Whereupon he threw the apple into

The lines Of the regulation Russian

It Is heavy or thin. The excessive
looseness and drag of the material is
emphasized in lace even more than in
cloth because all the garments above

fashion, although there is an effort to
bring back the round. tight bodice Of
Victorian days.

The work is in charge Of the leading
business men in each community, a

is therefore safe to say that on June
