Electrical Gifts

The many devices seen on the well
appointed table are now operated by
electricity rather than by alcohol.
With the cheapening of the current or
a special rate for household use it is
more economical to operate chatting
dishes, etc, with current than in any
other way. One of the attractive sets
seen in the stores is a three piece af-
fair, consisting of stove, chatting dish
and toaster. The pieces are all similar
in design, and the stove is large enough
to accommodate q small teakettle, a
saucepan or skillet. The toaster has
an improved rack above the toaSter
proper on which toast may be kept hot
without burning. The set comes in
nickel finish. or in copper, complete
with cords and plugs. This set is in
fact a complete kitchen equipment"
only it may be used at the table.
Therefore for the woman who does her
own work or serves her own meals it
would make most attractive present.
Another novelty is hair drying comb
which may appeal to any woman. The
comb is quite like the usual large hair
dressers' comb and is fitted with cur
rent so that as the comb is passed

Just Before
Christmas Day

Last night when we were at tea the
little fellow said:
"Paw, what are all those packages
hid beneath your bed!"
I almost choked upon my food and
mother simply smiled
As though to say we're bringing up
very knowing child.
He's waiting for me at the door
when I get home at night.
I try to sneak into the house and
not turn on the light
And get upstairs before I doff my
overcoat and hat,
But he is Johnny on the spot, with
''Paw, oh, what is that?"
He's cycling me suspiciously. Ireal-
ly think he tries
With all his youthful artfulness to
take me by surprise.
He hasn't intimated yet that he has
found us out,
But eyes and ears are open wide
whenever we're about.
I spelled a phrase to mother once,
and then he promptly said:
II guess it's time now, nav, for me
to so upstairs to bed,
An I suppose that you an paw will
talk out when I'm gone"
I'd make an affidavit that the little
rascal's on.

BY MABEL NORMAND,
EannnIIe Movie Actress


Personally, I am not in sympathy
with the fashions of today. The
present age is one of too many styles,
with this condition on the increase
rather than on the wane. There was
time when women were content
with summer and winter frocks. To-
day the average woman insists on
being a walking wardrObe-an ami
mated novelty dress shop. There are
styles not only for the four seasons
Of the year, but for early, mid and
late seasons, and milady desires them
all. Added to this she has accus-
toned herself to no end of evening
gowns, various types of house dress
es and bOUdoir toys. In the MILL
merry line the women of today de-
mand different hat for practically
every change of dress, when two or
three a year formerly sUficed.
Back Of this deplOrably extrava-
CANT condition, which strikes at the
fundamentals of economics, can be
seen the sinister hand of the fabric
manufacturers. They have studied
feminine psychology and played to it,
and through the modistes have de-
veloped the demand for ever chang
ing styles to promote larger markets
for their wares.
Styles vary so widely that no dress
will last more than a couple of
months at the most. We have a tight
skirt, then a full one; a short one and
a long one, and the same may be said
of coats and clOaks.
Apparently we women are consid-
cred easy. The weavers of fabrics
figure on getting us going and COM
ing, pardon the slang. AS long as
we are susceptible this condition viii
exist.
Women are considered well dressed
in proportion to the extent their
clothes favorably compare with the
clothes Of other women. If the stan
dard was set at a more sensible and
less extensive mark all women VyOTl1d

look as proportionately well dressed
as they do today, and perhaps more
so. It is time that a new standard of
styles came into vOgue-a standard
that would be compatible with
sound economics. 1t may appear IN
usual coming from an actress, but
frankly am a staunch advocate Of
simple dresses and fewer accom-
panying articles of adOrnment.
There is not one woman in ten, in
my opinion, who wouldn't look just
as well, if not better, in plain, mex
pensiVe frocks, than she does in the
conglOmeration of clothes demand
ed by the styles of today.

"KING OF EGGS" MAY BE CALLED
TO EXPLAIN PRICE RAISE

James E. Wetz, speculator in food
prices, who smugly admits he de-
serves the title of king of eggs" is
expected to be called before the fed
eral grand jury now probing the high
cost of living: The New York mer-
camille exchange is responsible for
the statement that Wetz helds IT,
100000 eggs, at least.
When shown this statement Wetz
grinned and asked: ''Weh, what are
they going to do about it," His prof
its from eggs this season is said to
have reached the $1,0O0,OOO mark.
His is said to be interested in the
Monarch RefTigerating Co.
Later Wetz said: This is the brok-
ers' year. AS for me, I'm going to sit
tight and watch the prices climb up.
The public must pay. All the inves-
tigation, legislative or otherwise,
won't bring down the price of eggs
this year."
Dist Atty Clyne has been conduct
ing an investigation of charges that
the Chicago and Elgin boards were
cornering butter and eggs and boost

Audrey" is distinctly different
from any character which Miss Fred
erick has ever played on the screen
before and it is interesting to note
that the star herself has declared it
to be the one which she has most en-
ioyed playing. Unlike Zaza, Bella
Donna and Donna Roma in The Eter-
nal City, Audrey is simple. unso-
phisticated girl of the woods who has
been rescued from the Indians when
child, made the household drudge
Of a hypocritical minister and his
wife, and is finally nearly drowned
by an angry mob that believes her
to be in the power of a witch.
Though she IS as innocent as a
mountain breeze, the constant atten-
lions of young Lord Harvard, her
guardian, lead to the belief that their
relations are more intimate than is
the case AS a result she is publicly
denounced from the pulpit. Hawara
is forced to fight duel in defense Of
her name, and she Is elected from the
house in which she has so long Ia
bored as a common slavey.
Audrey is one of the most popular
books Mary Johnston ever wrote, and
everyone who has read the book will
remember that It Is full of action of
ir1measureable interest which makes
it admirably suitable for adaptation
in motion pictures.

NEW YORK, May 1s.-Rain and
cold weather have been the big win
ners in both the National and Ameri-
can leagues since Sunday. OF the
games scheduled in that time nine
have been postponed. The American
league was the worst sufferer, losing
six.
But the rain, the cold and Wild, Wild
winds were not enough to stop the
onrushing Giants. They pinched their
game yesterday and by the winning,
with Pittsburgh idle. climbed out Of
last place. It was the seventh
straight win for the McGrawites and
now the newspaper head "Giants win
again." is becoming as familiar as the
early season standby, Giants lose
again"
By losing yesterday while the Bos.
ton Braves were trouncing Cincinnati,
Brooklyn lost her undisputed hold on
the top rung and now is tied with
the Beantown boys for the position.
There were no other changes in the
standings.
In the Americans, Cleveland holds
first place in spite of her luck with
the weather. The Indians played
and won from the Yanks Monday, but
since that time have been idle.
Washington by winning both of

half game of the leaders.

The Yanks were the victims Of cost

started back after a long fly ball,
slipped on the water soaked field and
broke collar bone. He will be out
OF the game for about six weeks. And
Fritz had just found his batting eye.
