FORGED TO MARRY
 GIRL OF ROY IALT1
Well Known Americans Resemblance to Long Lost Prince Causes
 Complications.

You're caught in a blind alley.
 You have your back to a gigantic massive door.
 Upon you rushes a squad of soldiers shouting in a foreign tongue of which you do not understand a word.
 One thing you do know; that if they reach you they will kill you like rat
 What would you do?
 Run or fight?
 Jack Barrymore had this very thing happen to him and he fought. More over, he put up one of the greatest battles that has ever been recorded.
 It all happened in Nearly a King" the Paramount picture released Feb ruary 10th, produced by the Famous Players, in which the celebrated com edian is starred.
 But the fight, which is one of the most realistic and thrilling that has ever been seen on the screen, is only an incident in this whirlwind of fun and romance in which Jack Barry more is at his very best. The trouble all originates from his resemblance to the gay young Prince of Bulwana, who has decided to marry an actress rather than espouse the Princess Helene of Okam, whom he has never seen.
 White or black?" is Jacks query.
 "Who do you mean?"
 Why. this girl whom l am to be forced to marry"
 It sounds like a perfectly sane and reasonable thing for a man to ask |concerning his bride-to-be, but the men who are thrusting Barrymore head into the matrimonial moose are bent on killing him if he does not pro- ceed with the marriage ceremony without further delay.
 It is a super Barrymore role, which the great comedian plays, for it com pines thrills and romance with the ridiculous situations in the depicting of which John Barrymore has no equal. It is Barrymore plus-if the term may be applied to so versatile an actor.

ON CONFISCATION,

One of the arguments against pro- hibition is that it confiscates property. It has been we'll pointed out that this argument overlooks the fact that pro- hibition does not take from the brew CTS, distillers and saloon keepers a foot of ground that they own or a single brick out of any of their build- ings. They have their property just. as they had it before, but they cannot use 1t for the same purpose. However, there are other purposes for which 1t can be used. When the saloon is driven out the building can be used for the sale of things that are helpful. and the buildings now used for distil- leries and breweries can be utilized for other business enterprises, as they have been in states that have adopted prohibition, with distinct profit to the property owners.

BANDB0x MUST BE CORRECT
Old Idea That Anything Will Do as
Holder for the Hat Does Not
Hold Today.

Her accessories betray her a gen.
tlewoman. And what, pray, is the new
est in accessories? Why, the "dif.
ferent" sort Of bandbox; one that is
not only practical, but a 10y forever
as we'll. It is a CONNECTION in hand
painted satin. It is rich black with
stiff "woodeny" looking garden vari-
cites daubed all over it's shiny surface
1t is lined with pale pink satin, and
that is all.
If you would have another, lend 1t
to the sports hat. Make it in rose
handkerchief linen. Streak it in the
center and along the edge Of the lid in
generous stitches of wool embroidery
in old blue. Do not omit the handy
strap across the top; make it of self
material, stitch it here and there with
the wool, and you have another 10y"
And now for your "best" hat.
Its box must be veritable dream
in ivory satin and silver cloth. On a
background of satin arrange "cut-
outs" Of silver cloth in convention
allied designs Of the lotus and the
tulip. Outlined In black chenille, the
effect Is striking. Line it with the
satin; stitch tiny silk cord where
the side and bottom join. It is too
adorable to stick away In dark closet.
1t is intended for a decorative ncces-
sorry to a charming boudoir.

These Jobs Are Healthy.

Breweries and tanneries and print
ing-ink factories confer an exemption
from tuberculosis, and employees in
turpentine factories never have rheu-
matism. Copper mining excludes the
possibility of typhoid among the work
ers. Shepherds enjoy remarkable
health. Men and women working in
lavender, whether gathering or distil]-
Ing 1t, are said never to suffer from
neuralgia or nervous headache.
Lavender, moreover, is as good as a
sea voyage for giving tone to the sys-
TEN. Persons suffering from nervous
breakdown frequently give their serv-
ices gratis to lavender planters in Or

tty. Salt miners can wear summer
clothes in blizzard weather without
fear Of catching cold, for colds are
unknown among these workers.

New YOrk.-At least, there Is this to
be said in regard to the fashionable
pose: it is the simplest that the mil
liners have demanded in several sea-
sons. That rakish tilt or the success
sion Of them that have governed mil
linery during the last few years were
difficult beyond measure to achieve.
We have gone backward farther than
usual this season for an inspiration for
new fashions, and the artistry and va
riety Of the centuries that reached up

overhauled to make an American cos

Turning to Feh Predicted.
1t Is highly probable that we will
wear more felt as the season advances
than we thought was advisable at the
beginning of the season. OF course,
velvet stands as the first choice, but
there are thousands who are wearied
already Of this fabric which sweeps
over the continent with the thickness
and pertinacity Of a plague Of To-
Gusts as soon as August reaches Its
maximum heat. At any rate, these
sweeping felt hats of the musketeers
are relief from the ordinary velvet
hats.
This hat Is quite exclusive. It is like
a tilted saucer. The top surface is in
one piece, rising a bit in the middle.
The brim leaves the head entirely after
it passes the crown. The color is pea
cock blue, the fabric is thick satin, the
ornamentatlon consists of peacock eyes
laid fiat on the satin. But there is the
really odd touch, very oriental: Be-
meath the uptilted brim at the back
there extends a piece of satin folded
like a turban that reaches almost to
the ears and disappears there. Holding
1t in place and reaching across the en-
tire back Of the head is conspicuous
barette Of white and ruby crystals.
Here is the Persian touch, for true,

until you see it on the right woman.
It makes another hat in the afternoon

There are also high embroidered vel
