The international story, "The
Leak in the Foreign Office" that
created stir while being run in
the Blue Book as a serial and
which was dramatized-for the mo-
tion picture camera. Is now being
exhibited at the Melbourne thea
ter. 1t is a two-reel feature with
a strong plot that shows the In
ner workings of one of the Euro
pean powers. The plans Of for
tification are stolen and their loss
means that the other world pow
ers, seeking hold, will become
acquainted with the secret which
will give them great advantage.
The way the plans are regained
makes a story we'll worth reading
or seeing.

And then Prof. Sloan offered a

The dancing masters OF the
Northwest had at first intended
to ignore the tango. They had
seen the new dance only on the
vaudeville stage, and they decid-

Dear Miss Grey: In re-
gard to III. G. O.'s (the wife
beater) letter, the women of
our little village are thinking
that a man as brave as he
should be awarded a medal.
We think he shows good
Judgment in beating his wife
after each meal, for 1t would
be a shame for such a good
man to go hungry. He speaks
of entertaining his lady
friends, and we wonder il he
entertains them as nicely as
he does his wife. Perhaps
she is glad that he does stay
out till 3 a. M, and we do
not wonder that she does not
attend dances, or 1t would
certainly be embarrassing to
meet old friends with her
eyes BACKED. We can't see
how she could think of
clothes and money while lv-
ing with such a model man.
The law should give her a
free divorce, and the $1,000

evening, Miss Grey, and hope
to see this among them.
