If you were told to make character
both frightfully conceited and irresist-
Iibly charming on the screen, do you
think that you could do it9 Probably
not. In fact that is task which could
only be successfully undertaken by so
clever and delightful a little star as
Marguerite Clark. Miss Clark plays
just such character in the Famous
Players Paramount picture "The For
tunes of Fiji, " which is the attraction
at Ye Liberty Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday.
Fiji is a little French actress whose
iself esteem is in inverse ratio TO her
diminutive stature. Despite the fact
that the first company which she joins
lis dismal failure, she still believes
in her heart that she is great actress
and she determines to come to Paris to
set the world on fire by her marvellous
ability Molly Elliot Seawell, the au'
thor of the story, never reached the
point in the tale where Fiji realizes
this particular ambition, but there are
other things which become very dear
to the little girl before she has been
in Paris very long and we find her
happily in possession Of these before
the end of the story.

PARIS NOTES..
What the Parisians Are
Turning Out For Spring.

What is lost in the width of the new
skirts for spring is added TO the length
in the proportion o. Il yard to an inch.
Skirts are now inches longer and GER
tainly yards narrower. Where they
were ten and twelve inches from the
ground. they are now six or seven. AS
If this were not change enough. there
is a new silhouette introduced. and
that is one that closely resembles a
barrel as far as the skirt is concern
ed. This is probably inspired by the
Turkish skirt that was shown by sew
eral of the couturiers last spring. At
any rate, there are "A number of the
largest creators in Paris who show
skirts of this description.
Paquin uses it in an afternoon gown
with a Russian blouse effect In the
%fastenings of the buttons down one
side. Otherwise the frock has straight
l~ines-that is, the waist is not fitted
snugly as it is in many of the new
spring creations.
Jenny fashions a coat with this "ton-
neau'' or barrel skirt of light gray
broadcloth, made with the trimming
of many rows of stitching in a darker
shade of gray. The barrel effect is in
troduced between straight panels In
the front, sides and back of the coat.
Even coat suits are showing the bar
rel skirt, and one sponsored by an
expert is of checks of blue and white,
trimmed with Roumanian embroidery.
The Jacket of this suit is hip length,
as are many of the suits for spring for
this house.
Premet uses this type of skirt in an
afternoon frock of two materials.
They are Joined just below the hips.
and at this point the skirt is much
wider than at the bottom where 1t Is
drawn in considerably.
From these various %couturiers 1t will
be seen that there is every chance that
skirts of this description will be very
much the mode for the early spring
frock. They are not u~nattractiye, es-
pecially IL they are not exaggerated
in line. Most of the frocks with such
a skirt are sure to have the waist fit a
bit more snugly, for the outline then is
wider at the shoulders than at the
waist, when the line goes in, and it un-
dulates from that point to greater
width at the knees and narrows con-
siderably at the bottom.

ard seemingly intuitive knowledge
when danger threatened and the angel
of good luck assisted me to escape
many a close call. Several times l
had bullets through my buckskins.
twice through my saddle. and On one
occasion my sturdy mount received a
bad flesh wound. On two occasions
my good craftsmanship saved me at
the expense of the roster Of the Sioux
braves by sending two at different
times to their happy hunting grounds
On several occasions l had to resume
he route of slaughtered couriers, nota-
bly, on one occasion which stands as
possibly a record In the story of this
dangerous duty.
While riding between the Red
Buttes Of the Platte and the Three
Crossings of the Sweetwater l had
what was considered a most difficult
and lonely route. On reaching Three
Crossings 1 found the rider of the
next division had been killed the night
before, which necessitated my cover
ing his roule, and on arrival there the
rider who :hould have been on hand
had not turned up, having been killed,
as was afterward ascertained, so 1
was compelled to ride the two routes
without stop, except for meals and
! change of horses, successfully making
the journey Tor round trip without
sleep, only stopping to change horses
! and snatch a hasty meal. This ride
created a sensation, so l will quote
from an authority best able to place
it on record as a historical fact-name-
ly, Alexander Majors himself in his
book of Seventy Years on the From
tier"
Among the most noted and daring
riders of the pony express was Hon.
William f. Cody, better known as
Buffalo Bill whose reputation is now
established the world over. While en-
gagged in the express service his route
lay between Red Buttes and Three
Crossings. 1t was a most dangerous,
long and lonely trail, including peril
GUS crossings of swollen and turbulent
streams. An average of fifteen miles
an hour had to be made, including
| change Of horses, detours for safety
and time for meals. Once upon reach
ing Three Crossings he found that he
rider on the mex division had been
killed during the night before, and he
was called ON to make the extra trip
until another rider could be procured.
This was a request the compliance
with which would involve the most
taxing labors and an endurance few
persons are capable of. Nevertheless
young Cody was promptly on hand for
the additional journey and reached
Rocky Ridge, the limit of the second
route, on time. This round trip of
321 miles was made without a stop,
except for meals and to change horses,
and every station on the route was
entered on time. This is one of he
longest and best ridden pony express
journeys ever made, the entire dis
lance, 321 miles, being covered in Il
hours and 30 minutes"

Most of the new sweaters, whether
Of Angora or of the various yarn
weaves, are made to slip over the head.
They are ample below the waist and
have apron string belts and %cravats,
the former tying the rather loose gar
ment in about the waist. The more
Frenchy kinds have yokes and button
