his pet theme:
"Why do Americans eat candy?
Because the nation doesn't know
how to cook! The French don't
stun themselves with candy. There
isn't, in Paris, a candy shop to the

stomachs, being properly fed with

detestable bread"
''Oh. you always say that" re-
marked Stephanie. "Some day I'll

Meanwhile, I shall consume candy

Whatever undermines the home or
discourages marriage, automatically
destroys society. which is the
mechanism OF the state, without
which there can be no order and no
liberty.
A house is not a home, nor does
its complete equipment guarantee
the essential blessings OF pleasure
and comfort. The basic principle OF
homc-making is mutual confidence
and understsnding-a unity OF
thought and aspiration. No home
can exist with two masters at one
and the same time; no house Is so
constructed as to conveniently ac-
commodate the mental and mate

this greatest of human problems.

perfect union, to insure domestic

this is not the case. The Eskimo

A Ban on Gossipping.

In 1909 an edict was issued at st.

to my alert nerves that Lane held

their hearty greeting with little
apology:

Charles Ray In Comedy Drama.

On the inimitable Improvisation OF
Charles Ray and on the thorough
workmanship in every department OF
production the unquestionable neri:
OF Red Hot Dollars" depends. The
story offers opportunity. for some
strong and effective Characterization
and the whole cast responds with q
vim and zip that characterizes the
products of Thomas H. Ines. Thus a
highly satisfactory product is evolved
from rather scant material. The story
is briefly that of quarrel bACween the
heads of two business houses, one n
failure the other a succe1s. These
heads are reconciled in the end
through the love of their children, the
adopted son OF one, the only daughtet
OF the other.
Charles Ray impersonates the adopt.
ed son with manly spirit, injecting
OF comedy material into his courtship
especially into dancing saene, a
comedy situation in itself. Hiss Gladys
George responds with vivaclty and
winning charm. William Carton as
the successful man Is ideal, but hon
