IN THE PICTURES

Philosophers have argued at length
against the proberb that clothes
make the man, but il is an undeni-
able fact that very few South Sea
Islanders acquire the dignity Ia
match their devoutness when they
accept the Christian religion. Their
personal appearance make lu-
dricious contrast with ministerial
clothing no matter how serious they
may be.
ID. w. Griffith has incorporated
one Of these characters in his latest
production, "The Idol Dancer" which
will be the attraction at the Strand
Theatre. Thursday and Friday. It is
love story such as could not have
happened anywhere else in the world
than on the South Sea, q place OF
adventure and romance made famous
by some Of the best writer's in his
tory
Are you = VIII Rogers fan? Most
people are, and il is certain that still
more will be after they see him In
his latest picture, Honest Hutch, =
which will be shown at the Strand
Sunday and Monday.
"Old Hutch was so dog goned lasy
that folks used TO say he wouldn't
have eumption enough to say "here'
when Gabriel blew his horn! He
was shiftless, sodden, grimy and un-
loved-until a sudden twitch in
Fate's looming Of his life made him
upright, active and respectable.

FLOWERS IN DECEMBER

Mrs. George Wolfe, residing on
Mechanic street can lay claim to
raising panies out Of doors in De-
cember, say her neighbors, who Sun
day picked several Of these flowers
from. a garden on her property. II
is certainly a very exceptional win
ter when flowers bloom out doors on
December IL. Apparently there is
no good reason for going to Cali
fornia, when such conditions are
found.

Why Madge Took Katie Into Her
Confidence.


How l ever managed to prepare
for the arrival of Jack and Rather
inc without any member of the fam
lily circle save Harriet Braithwaite
being the wiser do not know. Har-
riet fulfilled her promise and kept
her mother out of the way as much
as possible, but l should never have
been able to deceive my niother-in-
laws eagle eyes during the short in
tervals she was in the domestic har-
ness had it not been for Katie.
l decided to take my little maid
into my confidence, of course only
as to the fact of the coming arrival
of the visitors. Accordingly, early
Thursday morning ! went to the
kitchen, finding Katie busy stirring
up the mullins which DR.. Braith-
waite especially fancies. Katie's
volatile heart has been completely
captured by the big, genial ply
sician who extravagantly appreciates
all her culinary achievements, and
she caters shamelessly to his whims
of appetite, regardless of whether or
not the rest of US are suited.
From long experience knew the
best way to rouse Katie's enthusias-
tic cooperation, and also to insure
her silence as to the days plan.
Therefore, upon entering the kitchen
/ shut the doors, and smiled at my
little maid, holding up cautioning
forehnger.
Katie" / asked impressively, can
you keep a secret?"
She dropped her spoon into the
muffin mixture and looked at me
with delighted eyes.
"Sure, Mikew she carolled cheer
fully. "Vot you want?"
"You remember my cousin, Mr..
Beckett, don't you, Katie?"
Katie laughed gleefully
dot beeg, sober-faced gink dot

Indeed, Katie Knew.
I caught my breath in dismay.
Katie's memory was entirely too
good, and her powers of observation
entirely too we'll developed. I had
not dreamed until this minute that
she had known anything about that
long ago episode.
Don't talk nonsense, Katie" l
said impatiently, and then, ignoring
the cloud which overspread her
IfacefI went on quickly.

She giggled appreciatively at her

You'll have vun fine time asking

ironically. and if / had not had the

have echoed her doubt with interest.

tails of preparation with her.
1t is always an embarrassing thing
