THIS GIRL too

Los Angeles, Cal, July 7.-Reatha
Watson, declared by the court to be
too beautiful to remain in Los Ang-

say:
When a girl takes up her life bur-
den people watch her rather than
watch over her.
If beautiful, her path is more dan
gerous, but certainly not more diff
cult.
"The beautiful girl on life's high
way must keep a cool head.
"Windmills she must overcome are
promise givers. q
THE cave man is harmless to those
who know him, but dangerous to those
who want to know him.
ut really depends on the girl, after
all, whether she wins or loses"
Reatha Watson, the "too beautiful"
who will appear as an unwilling wit
ness against Lawrence F. Converse,
her husband, and who is now on trial
for bigamy, declared recently that
many pitfalls beset the path of the
beautiful girl on the highway of life,
but that the beautiful girl has Just as
much chance and perhaps little more
than her less lovely sister

A moving picture drama of a great
Italian poet, staged by an American
playwright, in the rose garden of the
White House, for the entertainment Of
the presidential household and a few
intimate friends, is the latest express
sion in movies. The unique enter
tainment, when the President and
Mrs. Wilson were given private view
of D'Annunzio's Cabiria, with a piano
accompaniment, brought together the
official families of the President in an
altogether delightful way that will
serve as a close to their social season.
The guests sharing the pictures with
the President and Mrs. Wilson were
the Vice President and Mrs. Marshall
and the cabinet families, many of
whom will leave town in the present
week not to return until autumn.
