Mabel Normand as she looks in
MOLLY o."

Would you ever believe that the
~courtly looking grande dame in
the white wig and ball gown was
our own funny Mabel Normand?
There is no question about the poor
little waif in the insert. Everybody
would recognize Mabel herself
there, but the white wig and grand
clothes are something very foreign
to most of Mabel's parts. In Molly
o." Sennett's first attempt at a
long comedy drama, Miss Normand
plays the lead. She is her own
whimsical self in it even when at
the fancy dress ball wearing her
Gainesborough outfit with such su-
perb grace.
Clothes may not make the man,
but they certainly al change some
of our favorite leading women so
we scarcely know them.

japanese Women Bar Smoking.
A unique feature of the general
rise of women's influence in japan
until their position nov is slowly
approximating that of American
and British women is that they are
giving up smoking just at the time
when great comment has arisen
over the increase of smoking
among their sisters in America and
England. according TO DR.. T. H.
Haden, dean of the theological de-
partment of kwansei Gakuin, a
mission college in Japan, who at
tended sessions here of the Pan
Pacific education conference as one
of the empires representatives.
Formerly all classes of women
in Japan smoked in public as well
as in their homes" DR.. Haden
said. THE influence of the west
has almost stopped this custom. al
though it is to the interest OF the
government to foster it, as tobacco
is a government monopoly"
DR.. Haden said that a new word
for home@"katei"-has been coined
in Japan to express the meaning
and idea of home life in western
civilization as it is being learned
by the japanese.
