Takes Her Part

The girl who sat TO Percy Hollands
right in the front row at the College
Theatre last night was as pretty as the
prettiest who helped to tell Beatrice
Fairfax's own thrilling story on the
screen. Even in the subdued light
Percy could see and appreciate that.
No less absorbed than Percy, she fol-
lowed the picture through reel after
reel. Every smile that frightened the
facle features of Beatrice she reflected.
Every tense moment found her gripping
the arms Of her seat. With Beatrice
she raised her eyebrows, pouted, wept,
languished, squared her little jaw, reg
istered dsdain, looked just plain beauti-
full.

gowns from her declaration, which, II the
government Is correct, Is second vio-

The three gowns, which win play such
an important part in this case, are
meagerly described In the indictment as
"one black and metal thread evening
costume trimmed with lace; one fame

valued at $1,000, and which filed 1--WE

quantity OF gowns. suits, costumes,

bargains.
According to the government, however,
Mrs. Warren's Information regarding
war-bargains obtainable in Partisan
costumes and millinery is Numerically
opposite to the experience OF other
private and commercial purchasers
abroad. Professional buyers and private
patrons of the great French modistes and
mnlineTs have uniformly complained that
ever since the war prices have been
steadily climbing.
However, that may be. the government
is at loss to understand how a woman
OF Mrs. Warren's experience could be
honestly mistaken when she stated that
the thre gowns had been previously inn
ported.

omission OF these three gowns from her
