When A Girl
 MOrries
(COntinued)
By ANN LESLIE.

(Continued)
 Then we went out to greet our callers. MT. Haldane is a real gen. tleman of the old school, in frock coat, gray striped trousers, gray spats, ! and he wore white carnation in his ! buttonhole casually as he wore his air of old-fashioned courtesy Iron gray and keen of hair and eyes, he had more than ever the air of gen tleness and impending break I had felt toward the end of my employ ment in his office. He stopped over my hand gravely from his slender panion with his well-remembered air of making a site of each least thing that came along for him to do.
 Mrs. Harrison, let me present my niece. Irma 5 Warren: You You have met me : tenant Harrison Dear me, dear mel I'm fancying myself back on the war basis, where we met and I made : rison.''
 Jim and our masculine guest shook hands on that and asked permission Z to light cigars, so I was left free to renew acquaintance with Irma War ren- I saw a. plump girl of about i five feet three, with twinl<ling blue eyes which might appear large if her face weren't too roly-poly and apple hair and a nose that is clear cut and beautifully chiseI1ed redeem her from the look of blowziness and common ness her wide mouth, high color and over developed figure might other wise give her. Her hands are bit common, too. Boyish and capable I found when she gripped my fingers in hearty squeeze But they are counterba laneed, as I discovered later by slim, high-arched feet. And her wide mouth parted in a. generous smile which shows the 1oveliest of white teeth.
 She wore a plain little blue voile dress and a flat black hat trimmed with a ribbon bow. I got a sensa- ton of being back home again, and seeing one of my high-school com panions in her first long dress. The city hadn't set it's mark on Irma Warren. Even to a casual glance she is "small-town stuff" I wondered what the Harrisons would make Of her.
 'Tm so pleased to meet you again." she was saying, even as I sized her up in a pleased and thor ough1y comfortable glance 'I don't know many people in the city except the editors Uncle brings home. And I've nothing to say that they'd want to hear-so I listen mostly. You'll understand if I talk too much now. won't you?" she concluded, grinning as she poked a little fun at herself
 And just then Tom Mason walked in. I'd heard the bell vaguely on the edges of consciousness while she was talking, and had felt sorry that our visit must be cut short, and still Sorrier over the embarrassment and the disappointment I was sure my visitors would feel. Now I funbled for words as Jim went forward to greet and present Tom. But before anyone could speak, Tom burst out heartily:
 "Good for you, Donna AnnaI Here we are-aH ready to start. I knew when I commissioned you to bring along a girl to cheer the old bach elor, I could count on you And Mr. Haldane tool You see, sir, don't need to be told who you are But hope Jim Harrison has found a good word to say for me-

You Can't Fool The Public!

They were searching for crown such as is worn by a ruler of Bal kan principality for a picture in the Paramount eastern studio on Long Island. The director of the produc- tion entertained nebulous idea of the design of this royal bauble-that is, he knew it should be gold. or gild- ed, and should contain jewels.
 But pictures are not made after that fashion any longer. A captious public long ago forbade anachronism. True, nine hundred odd of a, thousand movie theatre patrons would never know a Balkan princes official head gear from that of the ex-czar, but the other two or three, or only one Of that thousand may have happened across an illustration, or even have visited the far away Balkans as a Red Cross relief agent or photograph salesman or something. And the vail of the knowing minority would have spread-at least, such always has been the case-until the entire audi ence was contaminated with the dis uacting knowledge.
 Only One Crown!
 Cutting back to the director and ahead and 'tshoot'' his picture with any old crown the property room could find. Nothing of the kind. The director went to the studio Research been supplied with a colored plate of the crown of the King of Bulgaria, and the following day was in posses sion of splendid imitation of that sacred (to Bulgarians) trinket.
 The Research department of the Paramount eastern studios does that sort of thing every day. Dr. George Burbank Shattuck resigned from the faculty of Fassar College to enter mo- ton picture work. and now heads the Research department of the Para mount eastern studios, where he is as sisted by Miss Gertrude E. Koch
 By education and profession Dr. Shattuck is equipped to supply with out the slightest hesitation such in terestlng facts as what a troglodyte Of the pre-glacial age ate for lunch cen; a description of a bridal costume of a woman of Central Africa or the favorite literature of an American coed.

Here's your chance, girls!
 Direct from Culver City comes the momentous news that Richard Dix, Goldwyn's newest leading man, is looking for a wife. He doesn't re- quire that she be tall and blond, or small and brunette-no, nothing so specific as that. He has no particular type in mind-but there's one thing yhe must have, and that is person. ality. Of course if personality is combined with beauty and cleverness. so much the better-but personality is essential.
 As to Richards own qualifications, his age is 25, his height six feet, his eyes and hair are dark, his features regular; in fact, he is generally con sidered handsome. Further, he has a brand new two-year contract with Goldrwyn, and a brilliant future is predicted for him by the critics who saw his first picture in Los Angeles recently.
 All of which is recorded merely as 8 matter of news, and not as official announcement that Richard is ready to receive applications from all over the country, with photograph enclos- ed. ''It simply happens" he says that I haven't met the right girl yet but I hope to-"

ADVICE TO THE
 LOVELORN
Not Sure of His Love
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
 I am eighteen, and in love with a man of twenty-one, but it seems he doesn't care for me. Recently he has been very sick and I went up to his house a few times to see him without an invitation. Do you think I did right? GRACE
 Kindness to those who are i'll or in trouble is just the warm humanness we all ought to show. Don't question whether he loves you or not but give your friendship when it is needed This may bring you the sincere re gard you crave. If it doesn't, at least YOU have made an effort to treat an other human being well. Don't force your courtesy. You will know wheth- CT or not it is welcome
