 Mary Garden went a step further than did Mary Pickford and took the shoe, or oxford, into discussion.
 "A beautiful shoe and a shapely an k1e are half a woman's batt1e,'' she said "A woman should take as much pains and even spend more money on her footwear than any other gar ments. That's what is noticed these days. Ever since received but $1O0 a month for salary in Paris I have seen to it that more care was taken with my shoes and stockings than all the rest of my wardrobe"
 The Sleeveless Dress. Another point where the two Marys differ is on evening dress.
 Mary Pickford said evening dress should have sleeves of some kind in it

 That the present day styles destroy illusion was another assertion by Mary Pickford that met stone wall opposition by Mary Garden.
 Returning to the subject of the dress of the so-ca1led young girr' as she appears in street attire, Miss Gar den, rising to a standing position, her hands on her hips, with a smile and a wink said
 'tshow me a young man or even a midde-aged one who does not pause and admire a pretty girl clad in a natty coat suit, short skirts, pretty silk hose, a nice fitting shoe, and a bit of fur about her neck, when he passes her on the street, The use of rouge was the only point the two agreed upon Mary Pickford sounded the one harmonious chord when she said that if girls who apply cosmetics like kalsonine would get more wholesome recreation they would have rosy cheeks and would have no Use for beaudfying mater ia1s.

 Bill Hart's Heart.
 The two Marys even failed to agree on who was the greatest man in. the movies.
 Mary Pickford made her selection when she married Douglas Fairbanks. On Miss Gardens dressing table were number of autographed pho tos of William ("Bilr') Hart. And when questioned as to her admiration for the movie star Miss Garden an swered the question when she raised her eyes heavenward and, holding an other picture of Hart, which showed her in his embrace, close to her heart gave a deep sigh and admitted she had captured Bill Hart's heart, or rather, that he had captured hers.

San Francisco, May 5-The two stellar Marys of America--MaIy Pick ford, the most popular woman star in flmdo1n, and Mary Garden, Ameri- cas- foremost prima donna-dfffer, with but one exception, as much as the distance between the north and south poles when it comes to the question of styles for women
 In a recent interview here Mary Pickford scored Dame Fashion for her latest decree of short skirts, low necked dresses and cobweb hosiery, Little Mary declared that the down town shopping parade was a disgrace because of the radical dress of the women.
 Taking issue with Mary Pickford in most of her objections to the present styles of women, Mary Garden assert ed that the short skirt, low-cut waist and thin stockings with extraordin- ary advancements for the health of women.
 ''The skin of our entire body needs fresh air just as our lungs do,' said Miss Garden. What are our sun parIors for? Its tE> same principle exactly The averSge woman who wears a lot of clothes and goes bun d1ed up all the time, as a rule, is not clothing and allows her body-shln to open it's pores to real air"
 Anti-Art Exhibitions.
 Referring to the short skirts and thin stockings tabooed by Mary Pick ford, Mary Garden said:
 There certainly is nothing so beau SifuI as a pretty woman's limb in a black silk stocking. The thinner the Istocking-the prettfer.
 '.The short skirts are magnificent, and for heaHh's sake I hope they will never go out of style" "Should all girls wear short skirts regardless of the shapeliness of their Iifnbs?" the interviewer blushingly in quired of the prima donna
