She is also an actress of universally recognized charm and talent It might be added that she once gained fame Cher enemies call it notoriety) as a Pink Pajama Girl" in the United States.
 Polly's worry arises from the fact that Barrie is in love with Lady Scott, widow of England's Antartic hero. sculpress, woman of stern idealism. He wants to marry Lady Scott. But Lady Scott will wed him on only one condition-so it is said-and that is that Polly step down and out of the family for good and all
 Polly isn't willing to efface herself, even to please Barrie and Lady Scott She would like to please them very much, but-wel, at present she is the only heir Barrie has, and his fortune is now estimated at S2,5OO,OOO.
 The first Mrs Barrie, from whom the playwright obtained a divorce five years ago, was not altogether pleased with Polly Chase as an adopted daugh- ter. The sentimental Barrie discov- cred that Polly was the ideal child of his dreams from the first time he set

! TAKE YOUR
SHOPPING SERIOUSLY.

It takes judgment to make the
family purse do its full measure Of
service in these days of high
prices.
Tile wise woman takes her
shopping seriously and spends her
money carefully.
She seeks the best advice. she can
get, and nine times out of ten she
finds 1t in the advertising columns
OF live newspapers like the West
Virginian.
She reads the advertising daily
and keeps posted on what the
stores are showing. If some for
tunatc turn in the market pre-
sents an unusual opportunity she
is ready to take advantage of it.
She markets as carefully and
with as much knowledge Of the
situation as her husband would
show if he were buying a piece of
real estate.
Advertising is a business edu-
cation to the modern woman. 1T
is her read; reference book. y
She yerifies the statements,
made in print from time to time
and she soon becomes an expert
on What's What and Who's Who.
