moving pictures are our greatest in
dustry, and that we believe in local tai
ent and home consumption: that we
pay so cents a seat where New Yor,
pays 81: that we come here for our
health and do not like to go out at
night-there is no end to the things

I still feel that there must have been

I was told last week of the birth of
daughter to Mrs. John Gilliat, who

sey. says a London correspondent in
the Pittsburgh Gazette. She is one of
the few women who. having attained
title by a first marriage, discarded it
when they married a commoner. Mrs.
Gilliat cannot. however. have many
happy memories of her marriage to the
late Marquis of Ang1esey. She was
only about eighteen when as Violet

domestic relationship was kept up
which hoodwinked nobody Many re-

that his lordship should himself take
part in the performance. He would
sing and dance and wear the most Won

1t does not seem extraordinary that
the beautiful young woman who be-
came the widow of this decadent peer
should discard the great title that was
the symbol of SO much sorrow in her
young life. AS Mrs. Gilliat she is now
the beautiful and happy mother of two
fine boys and recent baby girl. The

Keen enthusiasm has greeted the
announcement that Mr.. and Mrs. Au-

this week. remaining for
W. "osI. month or longer in the
city where they formerly made their
home says the San Francisco Chronicle.
A cordial greeting awaits them, both
being great favorites in smart circles
there and on the peninsula, and their
stay will be the occasion for innumer-
able enjoyable social happenings.
They will leave New York either
tomorrow or Tuesday, and arriving in
San Francisco the latter part of the
week will probably take up their resi-
