Those who have watched this Sc

is quite different than that which
one nav have anticipated. This
enisode seems to contain more
thrills than all put together.

Kennedy will be seen in The Dan

mixture Of comedy and mock melo-
drama which fairly ripples with
mfrth and at the same time is not
devoid Of the interest attaching to
thrill screen attractions owing to
the complicated situations in which
the heroine becomes involved.
There is a delicious absurdity about
the entire plot which fasCinates
while II amuses. Always present
is the fear that something really
dangerous may occur to threaten
the life OF the ingenious girl
whose literary ambitions lead her
into strange, unknown ways. While
the comic element is ever in evil

evil shadows Of the underworld,

one of the greatest attractions OF
the season will be. seen when Mary
Garden will be shown in The
Splendid Sinner" In the role OF
Dolores. Mary Garden scores a pic
torial triumph which outvies her
original screen success. Her fine
figure is displayed in all its hand
some outlines by series OF elabo-
rate gowns. Miss Gardens acting
IS Just what might be expected
from such a talented source. She
PLAYS the part OF Dolores with in
finite feeling. The death scene is
particularly effective the heroine's
proud refusal Of a reprieve from
her former lover. the scorn and
courage with which she faces the
firing squad and the instant and
, dramatic fall OF the white-robed
figure when the guns blaze forth
are incidents destined TO be long
remembered by those who witnese
them.

AS believe the housing Of poultry

I am sending the picture of the poul-

writes Mrs. j. M. Freeman of Sawyer,
Mich, in Farm Progress.
This house was designed some
years ago by DR.. p. Il. Woods, a

not had sick chicken on the
place. The front is boarded up IS
inches from the ground and down
nine inches from the top. The open

inch mesh wire, over which we put
a burlap curtain in stormy weather
to keep out wind and snow. At other
times 1t is always open.

SUITABLE HOUSE FOR DUCKS
Fowls Forced to Sit on Damp Ground
Are Liable to Take Cramps and
other Diseases.

Ducks, both old and young, should
have dry, comfortable place to stay
In at night. II forced to sit on the
damp ground they are liable to take
cramps and cold in the head. The
latter is almost certain to turn to
roup.
Provide suitable houses IL you wish
be very expensive, but they should be
substantial, so that they may be used
for the same purpose several years in
succession.
There Is usually some shed or
building that can be converted into
duckhouse at small expense. Where
only small flock is kept this plan
is advisable.
If the roof is good the rest is easy.
IF the Notwithstanding is not suffi-
GENTLY close to keep out drafts In cold
weather, cover the outside with tarred
paper or strip, with lath.
A board floor is better than an
earth floor because the ducks will often
stir up the ground in very disagree
able manner where there is the least
sign Of moisture.
In cold weather ducks should be kept
in the house because their feet are so
tender that when they come in contact
with the cold ground they suffer great
ly and hobble' along as though their
backs were broken. However, they
should not be kept housed more than
is really necessary.

NEW HANGER FOR SWEATERS
Special Holder, Made From Embroid.
cry Ring, Will Preserve Shape
Of Garments.

Have you ever hung your pet sweat
er away on coat hanger for a cou-
pie Of days? If you have, you have
probably found 1t stretched most dis
tressingly when you took 1t down
again. So then, have you hung II.
ever so carefully, up on a hook?
Yes? Then, Of course, you have
found most annoying little bump in
the wool where it hung.
So then, perhaps, you have decided
to keep your sweaters in a bureau
drawer-and you have caught them on
the edge Of the drawer and pulled o
thread.
Well, here Is a suggestion to make
the keeping Of your sweaters truly
easy. Have special sweater holder.
This special holder is no more than
huge embroidery ring, Of the sort
that is used for the handles and tops
Of knitting bags. Attach ribbon or
tape to the ring ut each end, and by
means Of this ribbon hang il on hook.
Then pull the sweater through the
ring. Several may be placed on the
same ring without any trouble.
The ring, to be best fitted for It's
work, should be wound with satin rib
bon. The quality need not be ex-
pensive, but the shiny surface Of the
satin ribbon makes Il easier to pull
the sweaters through the ring and
there is no possibility Of tearing by
splinters from the surface Of the wood
when 1t IL covered In this way.

A handsome brocade silk with the

effective bag and one that calls for no

rather long narrow drawstring shape
with bead tassels across the bottom to
match the beading of the brocade Is
goOd-looking for this type Of bag.
Beads are used to relieve fur, too,

this combination. One model in seal
