We had a cute little kitchen exact
ly fitted as they are in Japan, and
had several lessoss before / could
master the many odd little kettles
and bowls. Those are the details
that make moving picture acting SO
difficult.
The camera, too, serves to delight
in showing up the crows feet and
the lines around your mouth. A
wrinkle may be cold-creamed and
powdered out of sight for the stage
folk, but it shows up pitilessly on the
screen. A freekle, if it is not we'll
covered with grease paint, looks
large as ginger snap when the film
registers it. Tha is why I headed
this article "The Merciless Camera" !"
1t really makes one look older and
less attractive than in real life. It
sees only your features and cares not
a whit if your eyes are violet and
y our hair red gold. Your complex
ion may be like rose leaf, with a
sprinkling of tiny little freckles across
the bridge of your nose. On the
screen. as all red photographs black,
your rosy checks become hollows and
the freckles give you the appearance
OF a turkeys egg. Also, if you ever
had any vanity the camera will steal
It away from you.

Answers to Correspondents.

Virginia D., Portland, Greg, wishes
TO know what / think about women
driving automobiles.
| see no reason why a woman
shouldn't drive her own car l drive
mine, and / drive it through the
crowded streets of New York You
know the men say that women
shouldn't drive cars because they
can't keep their heads in time of acci-
dent. l don't believe that. If a
woman has poise and is not nervous
she is ready for any emergency.
Alice B. writes from Grand juno
ton, Colo, to ask if | plan my
clothes for the characters l take in
film work
Mother and / together plan them,
and the right sort aof a costume for
a poor girl of the slums is harder to
get than the attire of the wealthy.
One can always get the latter at the
stores, but we find that to secure
better effects it is best to buy the
materials and have our dresses made
But it is sometimes difficult to find a
dress, hat and coat to suit the
character, say, of a founding, par
ticularly when the founding was sup
posed to have lived fifteen or twenty
years ago.

VIC honestly believe that for its spc-

in action and so certain in results as
The Williams Treatment.
There are many different kinds of
medicines for Uric Acid, but there is
only one Williams Treatment. Its sales
increase each year because those who
use it tell their friends of its quick and
satisfactory action.
Word-of-mouth praise won by actual
has increased The Williams Treatment
sales year after year.
The Williams Treatment is not pat

of successful, practicing physician who
for 90 years has given special attention
to the treatment of excessive Uric Acid
and resultant weakness and suffering.
The Williams Treatment has been
used by more than half million people.
What many OF them have written-not
what VIC saw. but what others have
written---is convincing. positive and I'M
questionable
Thousands of sufferers from Rhcu-

New York. Dec. l2.-There Is no deny
ing that our much-abused subway and
elevated guards have leather lungs, but
generally they are weak on pronuncia-
ton. There is one on the Ninth avenue
l., however. who meets both require
ments.
A rural looking old lady came into a
Ninth avenue train, and before taking a
scat. requested the conductor to tell her
when they stopped at Seventy second
street. As the train drew into Thirty
fourth street, he announced the station
in a loud voice. She looked up and
smiled at him. as IL to thank him for
telling her Just where they were.
As he called out ''Forty-second street.
she looked rather surprised. At Fiftieth
street a panied expression crossed her
face: and as the clear cnunciation OF
"Fifty-ninth street. rang out. she rose,
in all her dignity. and exclaimed: well.

POPULARITY IN WORK.


There is reason to believe that the
democratic movement of our time
has in many ways been unfavorable
TO the development of strong individu-
alty in the fields of science, literature
and the arts, The collective spirit is
now dominant. especially in America.
and even IN academic life many are
unduly influenced by the desire of
producing work which will make a
direct appeal to the community at
large, rather than work which is new
and mertori0us in itself irrespective
of whether II is popular or not This
spirit Is inconsistent with dsintefest-
edness. and hence tends to repress or
iginality. II Is hard to escape its in Z
fluence: it constitutes am atmosphere
7~that element which is at once the
most Intangible and the most essential
to life. We can, however resist Ii
II we only wish; and a spirit of inde-
pendence or self-respeet, that refuses
to have its standards determined BY
anything short of firmly grounded
personal conviction Is the best safe
guard There is a sense in which too
easy submission to the prejudices Of
a majority is like too easN submission
TO the dictates OF king or emperor
Iii either case the result is weaken
ing to individuality, and hence to all
work. like the work Of scholarship,
which demands Independence and in
dividnaity.
