The Silent World

There Is too much noise in the world
People talk too much and utter too many
words. Our vital force is wasted in vocali-
zation. We shall not develop to our
highest possibility until We learn to be
silent, and to express our thoughts and
emotions without loquacity. Indeed, tho
time will come when people will converse
by the expression of their faces and ges-
lures A silent world will be Il better,

Jewels Tell Character

Paris, who will appear In THE Whirl OF
the World" the Winter Garden specta-
Gle. which will open at the Lyric Octo-
Der c6. In Paris, says Mile. Chaplin, the
wearing of jewels has became an art.
The cultured Parisian woman meas
ures the breeding of a stranger by her
manner and accessories of dress. The
woman who overburdens herself with
gems. except for state occasions, does
not know the art of wearing them. II
a woman would be fashionable in the
matter OF Jewels today. she must wear
only those which suit her. individuality

keynote of French styles
The green garnet of Siberia is one OF
the latest settings for rings. But unless
your hands possess that peculiar pallor
which causes the gloom OF this stone to
shine In It's plain gold setting 1t should
not be worn. Jewels should harmonize
with the complexion of the hands. Then,
too, the size and shape OF the ring must
be considered. The day is past when
everyone wore a dinner ring, an opera
ring, a signet ring-or any one shape OF
ring Just because It was fashionable.

Women like what they lack That Is
the reason some of them are attracted
even by brutal przef1ghters or by tho
ugly hero OF some hard fought football

timid and dread to measure their
strength against that of tho world. They
are the rabbits of humanity. That is
the reason they like mon who, to use
their own phrase, have done things or

Women know that men are vain, yet
they detest In them that quality. If they

that he Is vain and despise him. Women
know that the handsome man is a fy-

But ] doubt if we shall see the highest
development of the moving picture in our

ure is in the throes of childbirth. 1t is

the moving picture of today has little
value save in its promise. But think of
