Olive Thomas favorite moving pic ture actress of many people in New Britain, is dead in Paris where she succum bed to the effects of mercurial poisoning. She was the wife of Jack Pickford, another New Britain faN- orite, and the couple had been abroad but a month.
 The death of the actress brings to mind the fact that the past year has seen filmdom robbed of several of its finest personag ges, all actors and ac tress of the greatest ability. Robert Harron. a Griffith star. died in New York recently from a bullet wound, it being reported that he accidental ly shot himself when he dropped a loaded revolver. Last April. Clarine Seymour. another Griffith star, died suddenly in New York. Pneumonia caused her death. Lately the death of Lieutenant Omar Lock1ear. the daredevil aviator, appalled, the movie lovers of the country.

New York, Sept. 11.-One of the best combinations for this or any fall is blue and black, and here is a "Lightnin' girl posed in this blue and black brocade with a jaunty hat atop it. The frock is quite simply made, the skirt opening in front over a petticoat of plain indestructible voile and a narrow band of the voile edging the sleeves.
 The plaids themselves are most at tractive and altogether different from the ones we used to have. Few of them show combina tions of color, but rather different shades of a single color and depend, after that, upon different types of bars and cross stripes for effectiveness.

 For a time corn whiskey got so plentiful the little boys would occas- sionally imbile so freely they got "top heavy" and would make a display of their wild and >wooly" blood, much to the annoyance of the public But alas! boys, the "old corn" is passing over the hills into the hollows, there to remain silent to the world.
