 This is a Paramount-Artcraft pie turization of the famous stage success of few years ago. and it has set new mark in lavishness through the beauty and brilllancv of it's setting. And the cast appearing in this great play Of womanhood is remarkable.
 Few plays produced in America have had such a widespread appeal as "Everywomsn" which delighted thea tregoers several years ago. And now this great drama of life has been made

roLsToI SOUGHT ANSWER

''He never was a halfway man. but sought the answer in the established church attending upon it's services and conforming to it's rites. And all the time he was talking about religion in his home. to his guests and to every one he met on the outside, But he failed to find the satisfying manner in Greek Orthodox church.
 ''He then turned to the religions of the ancients. trying in Confucius, Buddha, Mahomet and Zoroaster to find the soace he had failed to obtain in the religion of his country. He then went deep into Platonism and the Roman philosophers and came on down to those of Germany like Schopenhauer and Kant and Des- carte in France without getting any light.
 ''Then he said I will see if the God of the peasants will not help me- and so he studied the lives of the saints. devoured traditions, filled his mind with homely proverbs, delighted in fairy stories and myths and was carried away with hymns It was the fact that God was a reality to them which gave him the gleam which lighted the way to truth.
 ''IIe then took up the Bible, and in the gospel story he found what he was look ing for He believed the story of Jesus as does a child. He quit theology, he put aside ceremony. He became realist in that he was follower of the lowly Naza-
 
 and that's how he gave up his place in the aristocracy and went down with the peasants and worked in the fields in sum mer and made shoes in the winter and lived the simple life.
 THE GOSPEL OF JESUS
 His was no new gospel. but the old gospel of Jesus It was to him the way and the life, and he walked humbly in it. He got to hate war. to the extent that he felt there was no excuse for it. His hope of the worlds redemption was in the precepts of the Master, to be taken not ss beautiful doctrines to be assented to intellectually. but to be put into daily practice.
 This is why if he were alive today he would pin his faith in Russias ability to come back through his faith in the peas- ants and his belief in their God. He founded his later life on love. It was his ruling passion, and he dreamed of the time when men would be brothers on earth because they had the same father in heaven"
 Count Tolstoi regretted exceedingly that he had been prevented from being pres- ent at the Kiwanis luncheon. but stated that there was no way to get here in time from Marion. where he had lectured. He leaves for Selma on the early train this morning. He says his manager cer- tainly is an artist when 1t comes to mapping out an impossible route. and humorously suggested that unless he cut out few engagements he would have to charter an airship.
 The lecture at the First Baptist Church last night was given under the auspices of Howard College.

We fsel that our report would be incomplete without a word of appre- citation to the officials of the City Court with whom we frequently come in contact in our juvenile work. They have been uniformly kind and cour- teous toward our workers. In this connection, MT. William B. Burton, advocate of the Department of Pub lie Charities, is deserving of special mention.
 In closing our report, we wish to thank also, our staff of volunteer workers With over a thousand cases in our files, it would be impossible for US, with our limited staff, to do everything that we would like to do in the way of reconstruction and pro- batfon work. These noble women have made it possible for us to reach and to maintain a standard that compares very favorably with the standards set by the best social welfare agencies of the country. May we express the hope that these good women will continue to take an active interest and to interest others in this noble work of making the world bet ter for their living in it?

the phlegmatic deliberatenes3 of long

Roman general, who patiently waited
for months before riskinG a battle with
Hannibal. although scores OF apparently
favorable opportunities oTertd them

alive could have borne the loud accu-
sations of cowardice which some of the
generals Of his own staff were making
against Fabius. He plodded along, bid

to interfere with his plans. And when

Kisses Not Valued In Coin

Dear Cynthia-Through you, may
address DE Jure"? have read nearly
all of your rawlings and I have read
some of the answers to them, and I
want to say that the answers were en-
tirely too soft.
DE Jure," 1 would like to ask you
IL you are really in your right mind
when you get these raving spells on. for
I don't think you are.
The reason. am led to believe, IS
that you are so crazy over the girls and
SO jealous that you cannot get one for
yourself, 30 you take this kind Of re-
venge.
II you would only get little sense in
that feverish head y yours and go out
and make yourself agreeable you would
find that your figures on the value of a
kiss are entirely wrong.
A kiss. I would say.Shas no money
value II has more worthy and nobler
value than you can realize.
The very fact that you have the nerve
to bring a kiss to this standard proves
my statements in the forepart Of my
letter right.
DE Jure," fall in line and get rid of
that old puddle jumper" and pay atten-
tion to some nice girl and find out what
the actual value of a kiss really Is.

TT WAS the afternoon Of Katharine's
i little informal tea and the girls were
all sitting on the porch discussing
everything they could think Of.
Some of them were working girls"
who had hurried off from the Office as
early as possible to come to the tea.
Some Of them were girls who had
never worked and had always had
plenty of clothes and the wherewithal to
buy them. ... .
And some of them were girls who
had never worked and had never had
very many clothes or very much with
which 70 buy them. a.
But they were all good friends; and
the ones who had understood all about
the ones who hadn't. so there was never
any feeling of that disagreeable kind
among them.
MOST of the interest that day
1Hl centered in Rita. the latest bride,
who had been married. only about three
or four months.
Before her marriage Rita had been
one Of those who hadn't; she had never
done any work, that Is, the kind that
is paid for. -
She had done plenty of that other
wearing kind which is paid for only In
the satisfaction of accomplishment and
Of seeing ends meet.

She had always suffered noticeably
when the change Of seasons came around
and it became necessary to have new,
or Mt least new looking, clothes.
Other girls, in the same boat, re-cut,
dyed and generally made over last years
things, managed to make good ap
pearance. and announced triumphantly
that IL had been hard work.
But Rita's work was always harder,
