finished, the sandalwood trees are
planted-in fact everything is ready
for the erection of homes. Those who
have bought and will start building in
the very near future are C. N. Perry,

Says Paris Faster Than Reno

New York, Feb. 23.-"Either John
R. Stanchfield, counsel for Mrs. Clar-
ence H. Mackay or Frederic E. Cou-
dert, counsel for C. H. Mackay, has
discovered that Paris is a much more
desirable mecca for couples who seek
a divorce than Reno" said distin-
guished lawyer today.
"All that is necessary is for the
wife to announce that she intends
to become a resident of Paris and live
there, say ninety days. The husband
appears in the court, the polite judge
vainly tries to reconcile them, they
are given a mutual divorce, legal all
over the world.
"Why, such a divorce can be OBJ
tanned quietly during continental
journey, even during honeymoon
tour"

With possibly one exception, no
other motion-picture studio can claim
sisters as leading women, yet among
the Lubin constellation there are no
brighter lights, nor more adored girls
than Louise Huff. who for year has
been the sprightly little heroine Of
those photoplays produced by Edgar
Jones, and her sister, Justina, who has
played alternate leads in Colonel JOS
eph Smiley's productions. They have
often been mistaken for twins. but
should they APPEAR on the ecreen to-
gether the slight difference in height
and features would quickly distinguish
each as distinct representative Of
the same type.
