atoms often force a tear of which one
need not be ashamed. Mary PiclSford
as "Tess,'' the ragged little squatter
girl, dirty but beautiful, rude, wilful
saucy, but noble girl and self-sacri-
ficing, renders a portrayal of mex
haustible fascination. Against the cleo
trically lit sky of this storm country,
standing by the mysterious, treacher-
Gus waters of Lake Cayuga, Tess is
sketched as q thing of beauty and
superb coloring-a kind OF beauty that
carried to its extreme power, may dis
rupt a kingdom.
And Tess loves, not rude. uncouth
fisherman, but a university student OF
aristocratic traditions, suave speech
and courteous manners; man far
above Tess socially.
How love acts upon such tempera-
ment, a temperament that makes OF
a woman an angel or an outcast, ac-
cording to the character of the man
she loves, is the theme of the story
Tess Is a character that will live

You caught the fever In the spring
And knew the Turing charm;
You felt fortune could be made
Upon a chicken farm.
You spent your cash for eggs and fowls
And coops and grub and fence,
Then sat to watch your dollars grow
Into a pile immense.
The hens. of course, refused to lay,
When price of eggs was high;
They stayed up nights to get the roup
And simply loved to die.
