JOHN Ames

I sat for a long time looking out
of Mrs. Ames' bedroom window in
silence.
I could see in her a reflection of
myself and what had once been my
theory: marriage, with no very deh-
mite aim, no particular idea of the
bigness of it and what it could mean
and-very little love.
1 was then glad that I had not
married Tom in the beginning when
l was engaged to him. but now that
he seemed to be slipping away L
felt an intense fear; it was some
thing physical, which fairly gripped
me and held me trembling.
There is only one way for a
woman, Helga, and that is the
square way" Mrs. Ames continued.
''She can't cheat the world, or her
friends, or her husband - the only
person a woman ever cheats is her-
self. And I've been doing that.
There are so many things that
might be different now! might
have had something that would mean
permanent happiness, instead of the

zhings now" I murmured, hardly
daring to speak, because the thought
of What l might miss ana the Voiu
in my own life was too big.
/ had learned that we can only
sympathize, understand and feel for
others as we can apply their ex-
p%eriences to our own lives-and so l
was constantly applying Lila Ames'
situation to myself and l could
understand.
There is this one thing that 1
am glad for, though" Mrs. Ames
said suddenly, II can truthfully say
that I never really loved Phil. l
don't know what it was that held me
to him for so long-but it wasn't
love.
And Helga," her voice was low,
II think he never loved me I should
be glad of that and in q way 1 am,

Editorials For
Women Folks
Strange how Elizabeth's turning

Strange how Elizabeth's turning
out!
No one would believe she's your
daughter. She isn't a bit like your
crisp, alert, ambitious self. You
wanted to go on and on to school
Tom almost had to drag you away
when he married you and then you
half considered going back.
You couldn't get enough of books
and studying.
But Elizabeth! In school she uses
her Latin grammar as a shield be-
hind which she makes queer.
bunchy little dolls out of her hand
kerchief for the amusement of the
folk in back of her.
At home instead of drawing the
required maps, she uses her paints
and drawing paper to make bright
ly colored paper babies for the
neighbors' children.
Her books look as if they belong
to her younger brother, instead Of a
girl in her teens. From cove to
cover are scribbled lines and when
you stopped to decipher a few of
them you found that they were
| candy recipes, salad recipes n
| there was even a paragraph about
bread!
Saturdays you scarcely see her.
Instead OF seeking the library as
YOU used to do and settling down
with a book, she climbs the ook
stairs to the attic and rummages
there until she finds something
whole enough and large nough TO
nave making over possibilities.
Occasionally she comes out OF the
| struggles with the trunks and x
with some old artificial overs,
which before the afternoon was
over blossom below stairs on a
homemade hat.
OF course the thing to do is to per
suade her to go through high school
ar least. Back your argument up
with something pretty stern, II you
must.
But don't worry too much about
her aversion to figures. Because be-
fore you know it your Elizabeth VIII
be the central figure of the incest
little home ever!
And when you visit her you'll be
rather glad that you didn't try to
change her too much.

The most obvious Of all the morals

Frequently a film star must stay

perhaps for several days. while her

By FLORENCE CALHOUN
Mother of Alice Calhoun, Vitagraph
Star. the Youngest in the Movies

OF morals and the movies much
has been said: How do film plays
Influence the morals of the audience?
How far does public taste determine
the ethics of shadow-land?
In the fan mail of every successful
star ONE many queries about the
fitness of movie-land as a place for
a girl to make her career.
As the mother of Alice Calhoun I
have been fated to read an enormous
number of such letters. I think that
a single brief answer covers them all:
Human beings are the same. on a
set or off; human nature can't be
changed by a makeup; nor the heart
of man or maid by a costume: nor
conduct by the ability to act a part.
Alice Calhoun and I are still very
new to the magical mysterious world
Aehind the silver sheet. So new that
E.seens only yesterday since I. the
Tother. lowered close to the broad
chalk line, studied the actors moving
briskly through a scene, and asked
anxiously:
"Where's my daughter? Where's
Alice?"
Since that day I have learned a
good deal more than how to pick out
my own child under a Kleig light. 1
have learned that movie actresses
and actors bring out of the movie
environment just about what they
take into it.
Character means resistance TO
evil and laziness. and sloth, and
some other things, and the girl who
cannot survive the temptations of
the movies probably would not sur
vive the temptations of an office. or
a shop or factory or society.
Character les the impossibility
of being displaced, I learned years
ago when it still was fashionable to
read Emerson.
Today there's a new word for the
kme old spirit. We no longer talk
szs&out building character. we discuss

Astrologers read this as rather an
unfavorable day, for while Uranus
is in mildly benefic aspect, Mars
and Saturn are strongly adverse.
1t is a day that is likely to In
| crease any tendency toward lrrltl-
bility; it is threatening to domestic
harmony.
Mars is in an aspect. believed to
indicate that there will be strong
influence toward war that will be
felt in this country.
Mars and Saturn are in an aspect
| that is read as inclining mankind
toward old habits and TRADITIONS
that permit them to Kill IN the
name of patriotism.
While there will be a constantly
growing sentiment in favor of dis
armament, the meeting in WASH
ington will begin with many con-
trery signs powerful to prevent IN
ternational agreements.
Mars is in malefic aspect on No
vember II. Saturn and the Sun are
adverse. Jupiter, however, is the
| ally of humanity on that day and
so gives great strength to the direc-
ton of the President. furthering
his aspirations and stimulating sym
pathy with his policies.
The seers predict that the dis
armament sessions will be long
drawn out and that they will de-
! velop sensational incidents.
The rising position of Neptune at
| the time of the New Moon in NO
vember is read as presaging an I'M
| settled state of mind among the
| people, who will nourish many con-
Trajectory and uncertain views EN-
~barrassing to those at the head of
government affairs.
Persons whose birthdate it is

| bly, will be artistic and talented but
not likely to take an interest in
