STRAND

When the wonderful photoplay OF
Annette Kellermann in "Neptune's
Daughter" was presented at the
Strand a few weeks ago the manage
ment had so many requests to presen,
it again that a return engagement
was booked for next Monday Tues
day and Wednesday.
There are many who want to see
this great feature a second time, and
there are many who were unable to
see it when presented at the Strand
before, on account OF the tremendous
crowds.
The success of Miss Kellermann az
a photoplay artist, has been even
greater than as vaudevi lie star. The
play is an original and diverting fan
tasy of the sea, showing Miss Keller
mann as a real mermaid. The brill
liant scenes and splendid effects that
follow each other are dazzling to the
eye. "Neptune's Daughter" was pro-
duce<l at a cost of $50 600 and was
three months In preparation.
The feature photoplay for the last
three days will be the Shubert pro-
duction of the beautiful drama. 1.-THE

Blouse Smartness

1t is almost impossible to make the
nodish blouse fit trinity about the
waistline itself. However loose and
"bagy" the rest of the blouse may
look in order to be smart, this part
must have a close look about the cir
die: not a tight fit, but trim
smoothness, says an exchange. The
best way to accomplish this is to
fasten the garment at the waistline
TO a stiff piece of betting about fouI
inches wide.
This should be dart-fitted in front
and over the hips in such a way that
it forms a girdle foundation extend
ing from one inch below the waist
line to three inches above.
To this stiffened foundation the
most blousing waists may be fast
ened; it will give a trim waistline
and keep the garment in its proper
place. permitting an even distribution
of the fullness The girdle is Ideal as
a foundation for building the up-to
date lace blouse. 1t can be easily
made by buying betting, or may b'
purchased ready made.
