johnson centers the celebrated story
OF "VirtuouS Wives" which, in motion
picture form, will be shown at the
Dixie today for the last time, with
Miss Anita Stewart as the star, de-
clares that virtue is essentially state
of mind. Webster4 dictionary agrees
with this definitely, but Andrew For
roster, her husband, exp1odes society's
pper crust IN proving his own theory.
The theme of the story and screen
production, in which Miss Stewart re-
turns to the ranks OF stardom after an
absence of several months, is Of the
modern problems OF married life, the
division Of responsibilities, time and
activities between husband and wife,
the allegiance wife nominally owes
to her husband, and the extent Of the
trust he can place in her.
With the Foresters, Amy and An.
drew, leaders in their social set, the
atmosphere OF the production is con-
fined to scenes and locations long ia

l wish the rain would fall at night,
Instead of in the day;
For then you see we'd never lose
A single moments play.
The Teenie Vicente poet sang
this little verse as he looked out at
huge rain drop which hung
trembling to one of tiny windows
in the shoe house. 1t had rained
five days and most of the time it
had rained SO hard that the Teenie
Weenies dared not go out in it.
The rain dripped off the rose bush
and dropped with a thud on the
shoe house. 1t slipped down the
roof into the tiny caves trough and
was carried away to the Teenie
Weenies' cistern. The cistern was
a big one, holding cups of water,
but at the end of the second day it
was filled to the top.
well, I've seen some pretty big
rains in my time," said Grandpa, as
he drew his chair little nearer to
the fireplace, "but I'll say right
here by the thimbleful, but this
takes the prize for long rain"
"Jimminie f-f-fish hooks!" sput-
tered the Ounce, who had been
loking out of the window, here c.
c-comes the c-c-c-Chinaman,"
81 n few seconds the Chinaman
stamped up the steps, shook off a
few rain drops, and stepped
through the door which the Ounce
had opened for him.
What brings you out such a wet
day."
"Oime havie lottie trouble. me

man"
Whats the trouble?" asked the
old soldier.

II never thought of that" said
the General. "Of course you can't
dry your clothes when it's raining
like this. The old teapot makes a
fine place to have laundry, but
there is hardly enough room to dry
a weeks wash"
Couldn't you hang them up to
dry in the hospital" asked the
Turk.
well, l should say not" cried
the Doctor. do you want to get
the place all damp? No, sir, you
can't hang your washing up in my
hospital"
How about the tool house?" sug-
gested the Lady Of Fashion.
"Too muchie dirt in tool house."

Can you tell me why my brother
will not write with his right hand
S. c. S.
Dear S. C. S.:
Probably because he thinks it is
the right thing not to write with
his right hand, but that it is the
right thing to write with his left
hand. (This is supposed to be
said real fast and faster than that
if you CAM
Maybe his right hand has told
him that it was tired and didn't
want to work and said, Let George
do it" meaning his left hand when
he said George.
And then again it may be that
he thinks il looks much more grace
full and attractive some way to
write with his left hand.
At least it is different from the
way most people write. Did you
ever know anyone that could write
with both hands? ! do. Why not?
Really we ought to be able to use
our left hand just as well as our
right, and we could If we prac-
ticed doing it for a while. Try it!
