A MOVING PICTURE TOY.

A boy may have his own moving
pictures at home by making the sim
pie little machine shown in Fig. |.
This toy consists of cardboard cylin-
der with slots cut in its sides, which
is mounted upon a wooden base fast
ened to the end of a stick, while the
pictures are made on strips of card
board and represent q man. horse,
dog, or whatever the subject may be,
in action, drawn in just the positions
IN which it would appear in a series
OF Photographs taken in rapid sue

placed, one at a time, inside of the
cylinder close to the sides and facing
in, then the cylinder is whirled around
by means of the stick upon which it
is plvoted, and by looking through
the slots in the sides you see a num-

Husband and wife smiled at each
other, and he said:
You were a beautiful girl, Julia"
ri tell you what" Mrs. Gilbert
went on, conscious of the compliment
but not DESTROYS of herself making a
comparison. Gloria is a beautiful girl,
and what is more, | can see that she
has a beautiful character. I'm so sorry
she has been away so long"
What could | do, ma'am?" asked
Kerr. 81 couldn't take care of her at
Locust Lawn"
Locust Lawn had been in Gilbert s
mind all the time, and he had waited
only to sound mis- wife before speak
ing. Her enthusiasm was SUCH as evi-
denced in what she had just said, that
he thought now was the proper time to
breach the subject.
There's only one thing to do, Mr.
Kerr" he said. Gloria must come in
and stay with US. Locust Lawn is all
right as a home for you, but as it
stands It is no place for young lady
in society; especially, since you want
me to be plain spoken, no place for a
young lady who has had such advan-
tages as your daughter"
Exactly, exactly asserted Kerr.
He had seen that, ana it had been one
OF the tnorns in mis- flesh all day.
Mrs. Gilbert was quick to see that
1t was the only thing to be done Che
had become as much interested in
Gloria as had her husband, and now
she added her own invitation to his.
"The judge has expressed my own
ideas exactly" she said MIR. Kerr,
you must let her come to US. We have
fallen in love with her already"
"Have you, ma'am?" Kerr asked.
Then I'm awfully glad"
Make the invitation for a month,
Gilbert directed, land then we can ask
her to stay on"
I'll do nothing Of the kind" said
his wife airily, as she started on what
was to her pleasant errand; 'I'H ask
her for the rest of her natural life,
and if she wants to stay that long

Gloria Kerr at the Belmont club by
Judge and Mrs. Gilbert was a memoir

morning the Belmont Banner had a

bert and also by curiosity to see what
kind of girl Gloria Kerr was. If the
president Of the Piper Coal company
had stopped the poker game at the
Belmont club the night before to tell
his experience there would have been
several young ladies among those at
the ball who did not lend the charm
of their presence to that occasion.
When Gloria danced with Wright
she searched the line to find Bel
mont man to compare with him, and
to her thinking there was not one in
the same class. AS for Wright, his
search was over the night they had
met again in Belmont.
In their first dance, holding her
close as if to shield her from all the
world, he called to mind the day at
Versailles when together they had
wandered through the gardens. Then
he had repeated some verses from the
book he had given her on her birth
day. Now as they danced he whis
