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
waia in the insert. Everybody
would recognize Mabel herself
there, but the white wig and grand
clothes are something very foreign
to most of MaDels parts. In ''MOI-
ly o." Sennett's first attempt at a
long comedy drama, Miss Nornand
plays the lead. She is her own
whimsical self in it even when at
the fancy dress ball wearing her
Gainesborough outfit with such
superb grace.
Clothes may not make the man,
but they certainly can change
some OF our favorite leading wo-
men SO we scarcely know them.

Few of us stop to consider that we have

Many q Hard Head
Sports a Soft Hat

Numerous newspaper men share Mr.. Ar
mour's fondness for the cloth hat They also
like the cap. This is because such headgear
is always adaptable in the varied situations in
which these men find themselves. They can
sit on them, stuff them in the pocket or throw
them around the city room with an easy con-
science as to the effect of such abandon.
Other famous men have preference for the
soft hat. Quite few are deeply attoched to
soft old brown felt fedoras. A great New
York interviewer, whose name is familiar to
the readers of the largest monthly magazine
in the country, has such hat. He has heard
the intimate secrets Of more successful men
than any other one person in the country, per-
haps. Every one Of his mental reactions is
recorded in the ups and downs of his hat brim.

HOUSE SHORTAGE HITS THE BIRDS

wv ENEFICIAL feathered friends are
* gradually becoming better appreci-
.D ated by the American public, but
many of us still have the idea that we
have done nobly to furnish these birds with
food when the winter SHOWS cover their usual
source of supply.
Bird houses and food shelters are of great
benefit at any time Of the year, but the best
season for installing them is in the spring.
The mated birds are then seeking suitable
quarters for the nesting period, so they are
quick to take advantage of attractive homes
in which to aedge their prospective broods
We are prone to forget the food shelters and
receptacles, yet the violent showers of spring,
especially in April, often do greater damage
to the bird food supply than the SHOWS of win
ter. Everything eatable is then washed away
into city sewers and country streams, while
several days until Mother Nature renews the
supply, or kind-hearted bird lovers come to the
rescue with suitable food to tide them over this
lean period.
Mrs. J. Christopher Marks, founder of the
Junior Art Society and Theater Assembly, of
New York City, organizations having respec-

of birds. AS result she has interested the

movement toward protecting our native state

from those seen in Chatham Square. The pro-
fessorial brim is more dignifed and less natty
than that of the super-business man.

legitimate drama, are much the same. A cur
