! George Barr McCutcheon has the
reputation of having never written a
dry story His imagination is vivid
and he puts a great deal of original
ity into his books, coupled with a
whimsical and fantastic humor, and
a genuius for invention that renders
them entirely different from the aver
age best seller.
Green Fancy was a striking story,
but it is said to have been improved
by it's transference to the screen.
The change in title gives a better idea
Of what it is about, for Miss Clay

very charming one. There is lot

the heroine is at first seen as an am
bulance driver in tne battle zone,
while the hero played by Henry
Woodward, is an American army
captain, invalided home because of
a smokers heart. There is adven-

They say that the busiest people
have the most time to give In service
to others, can turn clear attention to
a new subject at an lnstants notice.
This is simple because the busiest

what has to be done. They can give
you at any moment undivided atten-
tion because their minds are clear and

In Death Not Divided.

1t is true that in several parts of
China it is still considered an act of
virtue for woman TO commit suicide
publicly after the death of her hus-
band. According to the law, the pro-

inces, and such is the state of public
opinion that in districts where it is
officially prohibited the authorities
rarely interfere.

Evening Chat

The ouija board "craze" and 1t is
fifty named craze" has struck Fair
mont and already the mysterious art
II 1t may be called "art" has found
scores upon scores Of devotees among
the fair sex and stores and shops are
being besieged with demands for the
boards while numerous gatherings are
being arranged in which the mysteri-
Gus lore supposed to belong to ouija
is being divulged to the devotees anxi-
Gus to have unrayelled the secrets OF
the misty past and the dim future.
ouija is supposed to possess the
power to communicate with the other
world and at the request of her de-
voices calls up friends of these peo-
pie in the other world and allows
them to converse together. Problems
which are usually taken to the for
tune teller to be unravelled are now
taken to the ouija board who, with
out the necessary coin to cross hel
palm, unravels these secrets to her
eager watchers.
Devotees OF the mysterious power
supposed to be possessed by the Ouija
board are to be found among all class
es and ages, fair society girls, bust
ness young women, women of mature
years and even the children are delv-
ing anxiously into the mysteries Of
the board and according to many of
them, secrets heretofore unfathoma-
BILE are by the assistance Of ouija
made clear and understandable.
Persons addicted to the ouija board
habit go so far as to actually believe
they have had intelligent CONVERSE
lions with friends in the other world
and state that these friends have told
them things they knew and things
they did not know. ouija has been
asked to locate soldiers overseas who
have not been heard from for some
time and in some cases has told the
friends Just when and how they would
hear from these soldiers and the con-
dition of their health at the time.
