"The Absentee" At
 Thorne s Tonight

One of the most unique pictures ever thrown on the local screen is the Mutual masterpiece The hh sentee," produced by the Majestic Motion Picture company and shown at ThOrne's ;ast evening to the usu- al crowded house. For it is a plea sure to the regular movie fans to have the eye greeted with some. thing in the way of a novelty occa- siOnally, and The Absentee is a novelty, a. far as motion pictures are concerned, in every sense Of the word
 The Absentee' is symbolic photoplay showing in striking scenes the difficulties. disappontments aut trials that beset man in his search for happiness and snccess The prologue in this vivid drama shows man as "Power' garbed in classic costume. standing at the parting os life's highway. One road leads to Success the other to Failure" !" Here he is confronted by figure emblematie of "Pleasure.' Who pin out to him the easiest way tH,0 Ignorance" leads him to the end of the road where "Destruction" stands. The classic figures disap- pear and the prologue fades into the play proper. This is the story
 "Power-the Absentee played by Robert Ede5on leaves his factory in charge oi his manager Might ," who wrecks the property in order that his wife. "EXtravaEqnce" and his daughter, "Vanlty" may devote themselves to lives of selfish plea sure. It is only when "Justjce,' the office stenographer, forces "PoWer' to right the harm done his cm- ployees that he sees his error ln believing that Might" is right. Then comes the realization that Justice" should ever go hand in hand with Power" and so they are wed.
 A strong company of motion pie ture stars gives fine support to MT Edeson in the production of this symbolic drama There are many big dramatic moments in the play and they are superbly han dled by such favorite players as Olga Gray, Mildred Harris, A. D. Sears, Alfred Paget, Wahnetta Han son and others.

 T noticed that people smiled at him, but, naturally, I thought they smiled because he looked so nice, and it wasn't until a friend or mine stopped and stared that I thought something might be wrong.
 "I turned back the hood of the carriage and took a look at my child. There the little rascal sat, trying his best to get one foot in his mouth, and that black shoe dressing had run down the front of his dress and 1t was all over his hands and daubed all over his face.'

FEW WOMEN REALIZE
 THE VALUE OF "REST."
$ . q Q . o q . q . . q q q q

Rest Is a sealed mystery to many women. To be sure, with the inf nite number of duties that they must attend to through the day there is little chance to devote much time to it's development, Yet the very fact that intervals of do ing nothing are short and few is the more reason that woman should know how to get the most from them.
 Rest Is not merely doing nothing with the hands and keeping the feet still. Almost the greater part of it is in relaxing the nerves and mind. When one can do this, good looks and life will be prolonged, and the temper will be vastly improved for nervous exhaustion is the cause of many quick word better left unspoken.
 To achieve the desired end, re- taxation, quiet and dull light are absolutely essential It is perfect ly useless for woman to lie down in a brightly lighted room. for. though she may feel physically at ease, the nerves of the eyes have strain, or rather lack soothing conditions. and they, in turn. af'

 Regarding white it is the prevail ing belief that it is always becom. ing Decidedly, it is not, and more over, it should be remembered that there are almost as many different tones of white as of colors, and the same discrimination should b. observed in the matter of selection.

BEST KIND OF FOOD
 IN REAL HOT WEATHER.
, . . 2 . . . . . . .

The food eaten in summer should be of the kind which requires the least energy to digest for energy makes heat in the body, as else where
 If you would be as cool and com fortable as possible, even in the hottest weather eat lightly of sim pie food Never eat when tired and hot. If possible, make your heaviest meal at night when the days toll is over and there is com parative coolness. Eat plenty of juicy fruits, which have refrig- erating effect on the blood. Par ticularly good during hot weather are grapes. oranges and lemons GE lemonade). cantaloupe, watermelon, peaches, cherries, berries. apples, pineappies and pears, But be care full that the fruit Is neither unripe nol overripe.
 Leafy or fibrous vegetables, such dS loillduoCo, NtlClyp SpiioSi, oopet' q gus, rhubarb. lettuce, beets and oni- ons, all have the same cooling ef- feet. For the same purpose nothing is better than the green salads endive, chicory romaine, watercress and all the rest.
 Other foods that should be on toh yyho tho iS high include thin soups, or better cold bouillon; fresh fish or fowl roasted or broiled beef. mutton or lamb Gin moderation); eggs, soft tJiied. scrambled or 'i-shtly fried simple desserts of gelatine, custard sherbets and ice cream.
 Things which should be avoided are thick soups, canned meats

TO WASH A PARASOL.

Have ready tub of warm soft water a piece of g0Ol soap, and q nail brush. Rub the soap thickly on the brush moisten it we'll with the water, and then brush the op- ened sunshade on the outside, pay ing special attention to the soiled marks that always run up the mid- : dle of each division. Also brush thoroughly, but lightly, round the top. When the outside has been adequately cleaned, place the para sol firmly on the table and brush each division in the inside. The soap should then be well removed by pouring over the sunshade plenty of cold soft water. Lastly, pour over the silk a solution of gum water, which gives slight stiffen- ing and tends to make the fabric look like new.
 Leave the parasol open in a warm room until dry, and if there is any lace on it, this must be dampened and ironed on the wrong side. The gum-water may be prepared by dis solving four ounces of gum arabic in one quart oe boiling water. For the parasol use a tablespoonful of this solution in half pint of water.

TCOAY'S TRlMBLES ONCE THUMB
 BELLS

It is recorded that the first thim- ble ever seen in England was made 200 years ago by a metal worker named John Loftin The useful ness of the article commended it at once, and the inventor acquired large fortune. The implement was then called the thumb bell, it be ing worn on the thumb when in use, and its shape suggesting the rest of the name.
 This clumsy mode of utilizing it soon changed, however, and the name gradually softened into "thim- ble," which it retains to this day

"Oh, dear cried a distracted mother to one who, as the saying is, seemed as cool as a cucumber how on earth do you manage to have your h.ldren so well behaved {! Mine are simply savages' They shame me at every turn
 Perhaps you are savage with them" replied the visitor. with q smile that barely escaped sarcasm. ''I treat my children as persons who own their souls. know that to receive courtesy l must give it, and by daily attention to the little breaks I keep them well drilled in the greater decencies."
 An me, if all mothers were as wise as this, what good manners the world would see, There would be no such thing as savage child, no such thing as mother "shamed at every turn" Instruc- tions in the polite forms of be- havior bear little weight if the in structor is rude and violent.
 It is no use to say, Jack, do so and so today if you forget to chide gently when the same thing is done tomorrow Dirty manners, like dirty faces, must have regular attention, but it must all be done serenely As this aStute mother says, Jack must first be allowed to feel that his soul Is his own" that all the reward the world has to give de- pends upon himself.
 A kind heart being at the root of all gracious behavior, fine man ners are a piteous frOsting if the child's character is neglected.
 So let the worried mother begin by calculating the homely precept of the golden rule. 'To do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is to be kind, mercifui considerate. Drill this into the chlld's heart with tender stories or rewards that come to he kind heart ed, and punishments that came to the harsh and coarse

SMOOTH AWAY WRINKLES.

Increase of flesh increases the deposit of fat tissues about the eyes. The eye itself reposes upon cushion of fat, and that puffs the socket of the eye, so the eye. although of the same size, will ac- tually look much smaller, so if yon would have large eyes and lovely surroundings of the eyes, you must not get too fat.
 Some people make their eyes lock much smaller by squinting, droop- ing, and half closing the lids. 9th CTS screw up the muscles about the eyes when they laugh, so that the eyes peer out through a small slit. Such mannerisms should be avoided. Too much of grimace when smiling causes the wrinkles and crowsfeet to appear at tho outer angles of the eyes.
 When you laugh, relax the mus clcs of the face more. smiling less with the eyes and more with the mouth. Then when you wash your face apply the finger of each hand to the corresponding side of the face-the pulpy tip of the middle finger is best adapted to the pur- pose-and work the flesh up and down circularwise, and smooth the skin so the pressure comes at right angles to the wrinkles. Use a little cold cream at the same time. If you persist, in short time the wrinkles will be smoothed out and disappear.
