Il thought the police were too laz
in the hunt for Marjorie" said Shu-
grue today, and knew that I could
do better myself.
For the first several weeks I rack.

way to locate the girl.
Ten days ago / hit upon the plan
OF advertising through. the moving
pictures. l knew that II her picture
were thrown upon the screen. she
would sooner or later be recognized.
Movie Firm Approves.
'T took up my idea with the Pathe
Company here and they thought well
Of II.
THE only picture that I had OF
Marjorie was a small one, so 1 had
1t enlarged and turned It over to
the Pathe company.
THE Pathe company began to run
the picture with a statement that the
girl was missing from her home.
Il was confident all the time that
II Marjorie was to be found II would

that she was found, and am glad for

That's all there Is to II. I'll stay here
and die first"
Marjorie told OF almost endless Wis
its to the various theatrical agencies
and movie" studios In and about
New York and in Jersey. She got no
encouragement from any Of them, but
she was supremely confident tina; II
she could stick to IL long enough, she
would win.
The reburrs she received had not
the slightest effect. apparently. on
her enthusiasm. She seemed to re
gard II all as a lark.
The whole business is perfectly
fascinating TO me-" she said. 81 just

alone, / will make her and my friends
proud OF me. Any girl can get along
IL she has any looks at all. a little
ability, and tries hard enough.
Il didn't mind being turned down:

LIFE AND CHARACTER
READING.
MARCH 1G.
MARCH 1G.


The characteristics of this. birthdate
as impaired by Jupiter and Neptune
are persistence, self-reliance and fidel-
ity to trusts.
The weakness of this nature is its
inability to make a quick decision and
its unwillingness to press forward or
take a chance.
People born on this date are fond
of music and mathematics and have a
good ear and memory.
Many composers are born today as
well as famous yiolinists and musical
directors.
Jupiter, the governing planet repre-
sents in her four moons the law and
order OF the heavens and the people of
this birthdate all reflect this love of
order and arc unhappy when forced
to live in discordant conditions.
