the burglar may have been frightened

"Well, ah-no," confessed the lawyer
with some hesitation. 'T was merely
canvassing that idea. There seems to

You Begin With a Slight Draw
ing Up of the Mouth and a
Suspicion of a DimpIe.

Can Atlanta girls smile? Miss
Blanche Ring wants to know. Those
few of the Gate City's pretty maids
who can not smile accurately and
pleasantly" can follow Miss Rings rec
ipe which she gives Just for Atlanta
girls"
1T is wonderful what a smile will
tonight. "There is so much trouble
and sadness in this world that sunshine
is needed. A smile is sunshine to the
soul. 1t gets into the dark corners and
wipes out all the cobwebs. People who
go through the world with a crouch are
not only miserable themselves, but they
make those around them miserable.
"Those who smile, on the other hand
bring brightness into the lives of 9th
ers. 1t is easy to smile when things
are coming your way, but to smile
when they are breaking against you
that is the test"
Miss Rings smile is famous the coun-
try over. She smiles when she sings
and she smiles when she doesn't sing
She smiles on the stage and she smiles
off the stage, and as a result has
friends everywhere.
Her smile begins with just the slight
est drawing up of the corners of her
mouth. Then there is the suspicion OF
a dimple and as the smile broadens her
eyes sparkle, her teeth show, her dim
pies grow deeper. and her face lights
up with radiance which simply COM
pels a smile in return.
In THE Wall Street Girl in which
Miss Ring comes to the Atlanta the
alter. she is given plenty of opportunity
to smile, for the authors have written
into il some clever comedy.

one of the inmates, a Mary Banta, for
bottles of beer. Harper, declared Potts
attorneys, would cover up his coin so
that he won nearly all the drinks. At
last Pots objected. saying: BE a sport,
Harper and pay for the drinks" This
incensed Harper, it was stated, so that
he attempted to cut Potts with a pock-

chair.
The lawyers declared that Potts and
Harper struggled through several rooms
of the house and finally wound up in
a hand to-hand duel, Potts defending
his life with his opened penknife. Har-
per, said the lawyers, managed to cut
Potts across the neck inflicting a deep
wound and at the same instant belieV-

Potts lunged with his knife, driving
the point into Harper's heart.
