FOX'S THEATE.R.

This evening offers g, last opportun- ity to witness the dainty and charm ing princess of the silver sheet, Anita Stewart, in her latest and most as- founding production, Mary Began. The story of Mary Began is a very entertaining and lively ono, having run serially in the Cosmopolitan mag azine for several months where it's charm and reality of plot attracted wide attention. Born to the heritage of crime Mary Began surmounts the ignOminy of her birth and station. How the very beautiful Mary does this finally to find happiness and peace in true love is shown very realistically in this great picture. A brand new Sun shine comedy, the second chapter of '"The Great Gamble" Mutt and Jeff, cartoon and the Pathe News will also be shown. The vaudeville program, headed by that side-splitting farce, '"The Ice Man, and three other big acts will make up the variety end of the bill.
 Two great favorites will be offered Sunday evening to Fox patrons. Will liam Farnum, who is undoubtedly the most versatile and finished of all screen stars, will be seen in a pie turization of Zane Grays great west ern novel, "The Riders of the Purple Sage
 Hale Hamilton will star in the sec ond feature, Tn His Brothers Place." As both these stars are actors of eX- ceptional caliber and drawing power, these two pictures should prove to be the finest ever offered at FoX's for a Sunday program. Christie comedies have long since proven of worth and the very latest will be offered as well as new release of 'The Gaumont News A special orchestra recital has been arranged to add another pleasing feature to the already splen- did program.

Household Notes

To clean screen doors, wet a wool thoroughly.
 Always shut off the water supply, house overnight.
 A good idea is to have egg spoons made of black horn; the silver ones discolor so badly.
 The amount of clothing a baby wears should be lessened as the mer- cury rises higher.
 Have an oilcloth bag for overshoes
 A soft paint brush is an excellent duster.
 Very young squashes are delicious steamed.
 Beautiful baskets are made from corn shucks.
 If hair is soft and fine, don't give 1t much brushing.
 A cool salad Is an excellent appe- tiger on hot days.
 Use cup cake tins when baking lemon pie for lunch-boxes.
 A length of white oilcloth spread on the bed can be used instead of a cutting table.

Belgrade, Serbia, August 23.-The professional bad boy of a local or phanage, lad of twelve years, saw the automobile of Prince Regent Alexander standing in front of the Serbian Military hospital the other day. When the prince appeared the boy told him:
 "Im an orphan, but I don't want to stay at the orphanage. I don't get enough to eat, and besides I don't want to be a shoemaker"
 The prince asked the boy to come to the palace. The next morning just after breakfast the boy stole away from the class in shoe-making and went to the royal offices. He demand ed and was given an audience.

Silyersand Lake, the 18th.

 Dearie Joan:
 Tom Benedict's praises of this placa were underdone if anything. It's a dream. Big log-andc hotel on the very rim of the clearest, coolest, woodsiest lake YOU ever saw. Tennis courts laid out back of the inn. Golf just over the hills. Trout in the lively stream that feeds the lake. Sylvan walks everywhere. Is it any wonder men come here? Out of the tail of my eye I have counted nine already, not including Tom.
 He introduced me this morning to a girl-a pretty creature, very slender and dark, with that smooth, shining black hair that makes you want to touch it. Nobody'd dare though. She's @ temperam en;tal, feverish sort of person, ready witted, sharp toward women and frankly a "vamp" toward men. She is a trfle uneasy about me. If she only knew that I have exactly one hundred and eighty seven dollars Indigent Females!
 Like the place?" she asked with the tips of her lips when Tom had gone to JOll SOIlS I1lSll lOOhlIlS dI u string of fish.
 Love it." I answered briefly, not eager for a conversation with a type of girl I always dread.
 "Old acquaintance of MT. Bene- diets, I believe? Used to be 8 deac friend of his mothers when he lived in-What was the town?"
 '"Bentsville,' I smiled, wanting to claw her. But I knew the young Mrs. Benedict rather better than I did Toms mother-naturally."
 "Ah, yes, of course. Horrid woman, I hear"
 His mother?'
 No, the wife"
 Isn't Nina Benedict here?" I could not conceal my surprise and curiosity
 Here! Well, rawther not" smiled Miss Corley, f1inging me the glance of the well-inform toward the ig norant
 "Why not? Where is she?"
 Miss Corley stifed a polite yawn.
 "Kansas City, I believe. At least, that's where they were living the last I heard of them. I'm not interested" !"
 "Them?" Something was beginning to dawn on me at last. why. I don't underst-'
 "Oh, what does it matter? When you've lived in New York as long as have, Miss Varick, you will never ask any specific questions about any specific husbands and WiveS-they change about so. The Benedicts have been separated so long now it's an old story Mrs. E. has remarried. 1 supposed you knew of it or you woudn't-"
 She rose slowly, yawned prettily again behind her hand and with a how late it was-she must go. I knew she intentionally left the other sen- tence unfinished.
 You mean" I said steadily, deter mined she. shouldn't do with me as she chose, you supposed I knew the Benedicts were separated or l wouldn't be here. Just what would that have to do with it?"
 "Oh-divorced men are always interesting
 'Tom Benedict has interested me ever since we went to scTool together in Bentsville. I'm-Tm terribly sorry he's had so much to worry him, dear old Tom"
 "Oh-ho- -ho--" she laughed, needn't dear old Tom HIM! He ought to have done it years ago! Now he's gone and let HER do it. But don't waste any pity on Tom Benedict. You really needn't, you know" And she walked off, glancing back at me amuSedly.
 What do you think of it all, Joan darling? am knocked silly. Nina Benedict getting divorce from Tom Benedict! Did you ever hear of any
