According to a report, the st Bartho-
lomew's Roman Catholic church, Of
Waukegan, opened their annual church
fair last Sunday night with dance.

if it opened on Saturday night, the

They also claim that Methodists dance
until two o'clock Sunday morning and
think nothing of it.

Union avenue, wins the SIS cash
prize offered by The Times Movie
department for the best sequel to
THE Diamond From the Sky"
Her sequel, neatly typewriter on
five sheets of paper, is long
enough to provide a complete
new chapter for the big drama
in which Miss Lottie Pickford
has been appearing at the Mel

interesting enough to make q
splendid finale for the picture.
There were numbers of sequels
submitted. Many were good, and
1t was difficult to select a win
ner. But the Lottie Crazy sequel,
both because of the clever man
ner in which this young woman
solved the mystery of the story,
and the clear way In which sne
arranged her scenario, stood out
above the others when everything
was considered.
Among those who's scenarios

were: Mrs. Thomas G. Evetts,

father died of grief and want of
food. His wife, always frail,
soon became a hopeless invalid.
Their daughter, Emelienne, Of

Almost a child herself she alone

and taught courage to scores of
desperately frightened children.
The vacation school of the viii

Twice each day the girl teacher
passed to her work through
throngs of idle soldiery. Her
quiet, self-possession, her cour-

A young girl came up as the

Fortune is not always handi-

times a shining example of deter
mfnation and energy throws off
the smothering cloak of luxury
and ease, and makes good, any

Born in Sweden, she aspired to
stage honors az a child and APP
peared before the king-the oul-
mination of the desires Of a Euro
pean artist.
Then Miss Hndblom decided to
come to America and win distinc-
ton. Her aim was to prove to
herself that she had been en-
dowed with sufficient mentality
and perseverance, to place her
near the top Of the tree without
recourse to the influence of
money or station.
