privately, and the synopsis of sew
eral other reels, it would appear
that much has been learned from
the "kaIhlyn" experience. In
'hathlyn" there was one big
screen star surrounded by a COM
pany of players who were practic-
ally unknown. Kathlyn williams
was a very popular figure to build
a romance on, and Thomas Santschi
very quickly became a favorite.
But he was subordinated to Miss
Williams-and very properly so.

every actor in the cast save one is
a recognized screen star. and the
one exception is Alfred Norton. a
well-known actor from the legiti-
mate stage.
In Florence La Badie, Marguerite
Snow, Lila Chester, James CruZe,
and Frank Harrington a quintet of
people of equal prominence are pre-
serted. and the story must needs
give action TO all of them in order to
Justify their having been given
places in the cast as well as to MAIN
tain the public interest And then.
besides, the story deals with things
of our own world an1 our own Gus
tens rather than with animals and
the customs of a far off nation. 1t
is true that Russian tinge is given
TO the play. but this only adds in
terest because The Russian plot is
worked out in America today. There
is a romance in the story. too. which
is indicated in the very first reel.
And this will undoubtedly keep the
interest heightened.

from Grandmother Tabby and set
out in the little cart, Just as you see
in the picture.
Ever since Roly had given Miss
Flax a spanking. she did not play
with the kitty and doggie children
Fannie Hicks had not seen her
spanking. and was still friendly with
her.
When they passed by the home of
the Tabbys. Miss Flax turned UP
her nose and did not speak. Don't
notice them.' she cautioned Fannie
Hicks. and poor Fannie obeyed-
What Fannie did not know and
what they were both to learn was
this: You must never be rude, for
you never know from whom you will
have to ask a favor.
So they were proud and silly, and
whipped up Dave and drove past
without so much as how do you
do"
Tom IaDDy laughed. Inat spank
ing must have hurt Miss Flag pretty
bad. II / am not mistaken they will
not go far with old Dave. He won't
stand for Miss Flax and her bossy
ways" BE careful what you say,
Tommy" put in Mrs. Tabby. III
they really did have an accident
you would be very sorry"
Down the road trotted Dave, and
every time Miss Flax wanted to stop
she would say so. She was not as
unkind as she had been, but she still
wanted her own way. But Fannie
Hicks was not as easy as she seemed
and stood up for her rights.
When We get to the creek said
Fannie. 81 am going to get out and
wade" Miss Flax looked very
thoughtful, and then said: And
while you wade I will pick berries"
She wanted to object, but was
afraid. She thought of the spanking
she had been given, and kept her
mouth shut. They climbed out, and
while Fannie tucked up her dress
Miss Flax talked.
Perhaps We should have spoken
to the Tabbys," she began. but I
cannot stand those children. That
Tom always makes me nervous"
Fannie Hicks did not reply. She
was already sorry that she had not
spoken. for the Tabbys were very
kind to her. I'll never, never go
near them again" cdded Miss Flax

When the Features Are Regular

or severe a style. Although it Is ad-
visable to dress the hair close to the
face, II ia not meant that the hair
should be closely drawn back. The
back hair should be arranged With
rather a full. soft effect.
The Round Face.-The round face
needs the hair arranged away from
the face rather than close to the
face: and the appearance will usual
ly be much enhanced by the adop-
ton of the ponipadour style, ar

dumdum bullet Is. broadly speak

The regular hunting cartridge used
for big game is a dumdum because il
has soft lead nose sticking out OF
jacket, When such a bullet strikes
flesh. 1t mushrooms" l. e.. the soft
lead nose spreads out like the top of
a mushroom and the result Is big

animal struck. Cartridges !o- use in

pointed bullets frequently act errati-
cally and instead of going straight
through, they tip and tumble end over
end and tear n hole Just like one made
by dumdum. This peculiar phenom-
enon occurs mostly at the shorter
ranges and is perhaps the cause OF the
