0Sles esther Ritter In an 1917
model.
How times do change! Behold.
the anti-chorus which 1921 has
brought US.
No more do the Christie film fol-
lies beauties regale themselves in
knee-length skirts while tripping
their toes In cabaret scenes.
No more do the studio arc lights
scintillate on powdered arms and
necks, for the film follies girlies
have been fully dressed in the
skirts that were once worn - IN
1870.
AL Christie, who has been known
as a beauty picker for screen plays
and comedies, calls the bellies o.
the new era the anti-girls because
they should suit the tastes Of the
ants. the blueshivists, the what.
nots who have clamored against
showing ankles on the screen.
Look closely and perhaps You
can see the toe-no more-of ID.
Their Ritter, one of Christie's 1871
film follies girls. Isn't that shock
ing?
They now refer to their bathing
suit days - s'the good old daya
lA C"@before clothes.

Your wife cannot take the children
away from you all the time unless
there is something in the case
which you have not mentioned. You
may be able to keep the two chill

are that your wife will be allowed
to have them part of the time and
you part.
think you are quite right in
insisting in staying where you
have work.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: have been
going with a country girl. We went
together for a long time and loved
each other very much, at least she
said she loved me, and we became
engaged.
Some time ago she wrote me and
said she had decided not to keep
company any longer. What do
you think was her idea? No one
else had anything to do with our
affairs. 1t seems as II can't live
without her.
Would it be proper to ask her to
go to a circus with me, as she never
went to one?
HEART-BROKEN MAC.
Probably the girl decided that
she did not love you enough to mar
~. 1t seems to me that you would
be happier if you accepted the fact
