HER SIIDE--ANID HIS
WOMAN'S OPTIMISM
By zen BECKLEY

As for your second wall, Mir. Tenn pie, in which you make invidious com parisons between yourself and your college classmates, if you will take averages instead of isolated expe- riences, I think you will find you have kept up very well indeed Some of your old associates have been excep- tionally successful. Others haven't. A few have been through the divorce court. Some are living far beyond their means, as you well know, like the men who first interested you in the Colony Park project. One or two, poor fellows have not lived to show what they could do.
 You are only 90, David. You have had but one real business venture. and that would have been crowned with glory but for an accident. You are too young to predict failure for yourself. It is shortsighted and silly. In 10 years you will look back on 1t as a mere episode. It isn't as if you had not designed good houses, or worked hard enough, or taken advan- tage of opportunities. It is simply that you got in with the wrong man. That happens to anybody.
 "Tm not making light of the thing. David. for it was a bad crash and nasty fall But that is all. We can pick ourselves up and make repairs. We're still young. There's plenty of chance yet for growth"
 Never once had Cora reminded David that she had cautioned him of the dangers of too rapid growth, had begged him not to plunge so swiftly into the Colony Park scheme. David thought of this now. He looked at his wife. You little brick, you" was all he said.

MARIE DORO

peeping out like stars in the night; at that time she didn't seem to think she had anything to do but just look pretty; but sakes alive how she has lived and learned! As Oliver Twist, she has for gotten completely that she has that deli cately tinted, piquantly etched, wide eyed beauty of hers; she's given her per sonality chance; she's done a piece of character work that is big; as Oliver Twist, she Is clever; she exonerates the optimists; there was hope and she found 1t; she has renewed our ancient faith in Santa Claus; yes, little Marie Doro with the fragile form and the Dresden China face, has tumbled up her hair and donned the ragged clothes of Dickens beloved urchin of the slums, and played part which places her in the front row of ar lists of the screen.
 I don't know whether you love Dickens as much as l do or not; I don't care; 1 don't know whether you treasure your copy of "A Tale of Two Cities" and ''Olver Twist" and Bleak House." and David Copperfield.'' like I do; don't care: but do care for you to see little Marie Doro as "Oliver Twist" and see the finished art of this girl. who plays the role with pathos, and charm that grips your heart and finds a response so instantaneous that you feel like thanking high heaven that anything as clever az the movies" saw the light of day in your time so that you might see your favorite characters in fiction like little Oliver face to face, and live over his sordid, grim, pathetic little life, which, in spite of hardships, and vice and crime became a beautiful life because of his innate good ness and gentleness of heart this wstful little creature, one of the most wonder ful and lovable products of Dickens brain.
 And to see Bill Sikes (played marvel ously by Hobart Bosworth) and Nancy (Jane Wilson, and the crafty Fagin CTully MarshalD the Artful Dodger (Ray- mend Hatton) and MT. Rumble, and Mrs. Maylie. and sweet Rose Maylie; yes, they are all there in their quaint cos tunes and quainter surroundings
 It's wonderful trip to Dickens-land, with little Marie Doro as guide on the personally conducted tour.' and the round trip is just cycle of memories of little Oliver-the good little boy in spite of his pathetic surroundings-the good lit tie boy, who just couldn't be bad!

A Reliable Remedy for
 Kidneys and Bladder
Foley Kidney Pills Also Do Remarkable Work Where There Are Urinary
 Irregularities

Irregular, painful bladder action is another convincing evidence Of kidney trouble. The urine becomes concentrated, causing great irrita- bility of the bladder. There is de sire to pass water frequently with a painful burning sensation. This ir- regularity becomes serious nuisance at night, causing loss of rest ana sleep to one already weakened by kidney trouble. There Is also the added danger of chilling the body, condition to be very carefully avoided at such a time.
 Foley Kidney Pills control this situation promptly and effectively. They cause a normal, healthy flow relieving the concentrated condition that produced the irritability and burning sensation. The bladder ac- tion is regulated to avoid the too freauent calls, and easy restfui nights, without pain or backache, without loss of sleep or bad dreams, is a quick result

Davenport of Chattanooga, Tenn, which occurred on Saturday after noon at the home of the bride, and was witnessed by only few friends and rela- tives. The ceremony was performed be- fore an altar built of palms, ferns and lovely white chrysanthemums and was lighted by many candles. A lovely mu- sical programme was rendered by MT.

She car ried bouquet of lilies of the valley and valley and orchids. MT. and Mrs. Cough Ian held an informal reception following the ceremony, and were assisted in re- ceiving by the bridal party and MT. and Mrs George Davenport, parents of the groom. MT.

 Several years ago "Oliver Twist" was dramatized as we all remember; Marie Doro created the role of Oliver, and Nat Goodwin played the role of Fagin; it was an instant success; people who loved their Dickens went wild over the play; those who didn't love their Dickens loved him after seeing it; you can't see Oliver Twist and not love 1t, and if you felt as I did about it yesterday you wanted to go staight home and get your wornout, thumbed- printed, dog-eared old copy of this wonderful book, all marked and re- marked-its yellow pages bringing to memory the happy thoughts of child hood when you first read about the poor little waif. and you just wanted to cuddle him up close to your heart and mother" him as though he were your very own.
 Marie Doro has been a revelation on the screen; at first, almost despaired of
 her; she was so pretty and spritelike, with her slender Httle face, framed by wealth of wavy hair, and her big eyes

O1PEAKING of censors (and nobody M was by the way) we would find
 them so much more unobjection- able if they only confined their censor ship in the movies to the matters of morals; but when they assume to um- pire what is, and what is not, pleasant, and what is, and what is not, pretty, and what is, and what is not, refined, why-well-but whoever heard of any thing any way ever being aesthetic by force of law?
 This thought ran through my head yesterday as sat before the screen in the Strand theatre and saw one of my favorites-a book that I've always loved and which I've read and reread time and again-pictureized
 If all the plays that are filmed were like "Oliver Twist" then there'd be no need of censors or censorship; mean censorship in the broadest sense; not fool, local rulings, the absurdities of which are myriad if anybody paid and attention to them. If all the plays presented were big, wholesome, clean, classic and worthy from an educa- LlOnal point or VleW, rom a literary point of view. from a moral point of view, like some of the Paramount pie lures I've seen at the Strand-"The Mill on the Floss" "Puddin' Head Will son." Peer Gynt," "To Have and to Hold,' "Silas Manner" and many others. the world would be much better for pictures-much happier for having had the pleasure of seeing the books of their childhood shown in beautiful scenes, much broader for having come face to face with characters they have loved and cherished through all the long, long years.
 Little Marie Doro with her big, wist- ful, pathetic looking eyes, does a mar velously clever piece of work as "Oli- yer Twist" Dickens immortal hero the boy who in spite of fate and cir

unanimous agreement with the main
 points in the speech All emphasized
 the importance of the Russian order
 of 1912, according to which the chan cellor said mobilization meant a dec
 laration of war against Germany. The speaker stated that the chancellor's descriptions of the origin of the war ought to take in the whole world. They also endorsed the chancellor's views concerning an international league for the preservation of perma- nent peace. expressed their agreement with such views and specified their
 own ideas in regard to it.
 The morning papers treat the speech of Chancellor von Bethmann Hollweg in the Reichstas yesterday as docu- ment of the utmost importance in l throwing light on the responsibility for i the war, the character of peace and i the subsequent political status of the 1 world and of Belgium in particular. 1 What the imperial chancellor said con- | corning the Russian imperial order an nouncing mobilization as equivalent to
 war against Germany and the chan cellor's own communications to Aus 1 tro- Hungary are regarded as convinc- | ing proofs of the justice of Germanys course in the critical week preceding
 the breach, but the newspapers gen l erally express regret that these mat
 ters were not published earlier.
 l All the morning newspapers com
 menting on the imperial chancellor $ 1 speech in the reichstag agree that he 1 clearly establishes the truth concern | ing the beginning of the war, says the | Overseas News Agency which gives q 1 symposium of the editorial comment. 1 Most of the papers point out that ! from 1912 is Was an order by the Rus ] sian government that mobilization by i itself meant declaration of war against Germany. All the papers state 1 that the Russian mobilization would ] nave been avoided if Great Britain < had used her influence in Petrograd, | and that therefore the tlame is to be laid on the leading British statesmen. E The Lokay AnZeiger says:
 "To the whole world the name of K Edward Grey is known as the chiei
 instrument of the present war. WhO-
 ever reads between the lines of I Grey's banquet speech and his other
 utterances will perceive that he &C., i cuses others in order to eXculpate
 himself and that all these attempts
 merely spring from an evil conscience
 charged with guilt.
 E The Tageszeitung says that under
 no circumstances can it consider the
 question of the causes of the war as
 bearing on tEe end of the war, since
 the end will be decided by the mill l. tary situation. It also expresses re- E gret that the chancellor's word con-
 corning Belgium may admit of the
 idea that the chancellor suggests peace on the basis of the status quo on the west front.
 The conservative kreuZ Zeitung re- ports that Chancellor von Bethmann Gollweg apparently uttered a definite remuneration on Belgium although that
 country was the starting point of mil itary operations against Germany. Monsignor Edmund Dalbor, arch bishop of Gnesen POsen, has sent | telegram to the German emperor or behalf of himself and his dioceseans in which he says:
