ADVICE TO THE
 LOVELORN
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

Not q Real Love. Dear Miss Fairfax:
 am twenty-One and have been going about with a young man for a year I was to be married early this Spring, but fell i'll, and now the doctor says I must go to a different climate. I have an opportunity to go to- California or across the ocean l prefer to go across the ocean, as have relatives there. Is my friend doing right by objecting, say ing he couldn't see me go away 1oT such a length of time? would like to be in perfect health before WORRIED.
 It is a selfish and short-sighted love which tries to deny you your chance to win back perfect health. Possibly the young man doesn't un- derstand the need of your seeking change of climate How would It be to let him have an interview with the doctor so that he may under stand the facts Then, if he per sists in his selfish attitude of want ing you more than he wants you to have your full chance to be a strong happy woman, do you think his is the sort of love to cherish and pro tect?
 Should Cousins Marry? Dear Miss Fairfax:
 am thirty-eight and in love with my first cousin, who is thirty-four. I would gladly take her hand in marriage, but she will not consent on account of us being cousins claiming it is a sin. according to the Bible and nothing but hard luck fol- lows in it's wake This does not frighten me, but it seems to scare her all right. What is your opinion?
 R. z. Suppose you go to the Eugenics Record Office, Cold Spring Harbor, L. L. for scientific data on the sub ject of marriage between cousins
 
 reader who objected to my old-fash- toned prejudice against marriage where there was too close a relation ship. Modern thought seems to fla yor the marriage of those who have much in common, be it viewpoint, training or even a blood relationship. Don't let superstition and ignorance stand in your way Go and inform yourself and then on the evidence you'u be in a position to make your own decision

long at a time. I think it is because love gaiety, and life, and love, and music, and laughter, and jokes, and peace, and goodwill that prefer to play comedies. Serious pictures have never appealed to me very much, al- though I recognize the highly emO- tional photodrama as a greater art. But if l only like comedies. 1 am very particular about the definite kind of comedies I want. They have to be comedies of modern social life and customs with a dash of subtlety---nOt the old slapstick variety.
 One thing I surely do think about myself is that I am very lucky in be- ing Norma's sister. She was the little trail breaker for the whole family. Back in the old Vitagraph days, after Norma took the initiative and broke in and then went ahead, and kept graduating to better and better parts, she used to take me along, SOme etimeS, to hook up her dresses, or be generally useful I always say the first role I ever played was that of a maid!
 We'll, in time, she managed to work me in as an extra, and so the way was paved for me, whereas she had had all the initial hard work.
 In later years it was again Norma who interest ed the president of her company Joseph M. Schenck, to also become president of my company. so it is no wonder that I always regard her as my guiding star. That sounds like l pun, doesn't it?
 Even today we always see each oth- er's pictures run off in the projection room and criticiSe one anOthers' work unmercifully, or, that is. Norma crit icize6 minei I seldom have occasion to find any fault with hers because, in spite of her being my sister, I cant help thinking she is the most success ful emotional actress on the screen today

King Solomon
 Minus " ',iskers
 Raises Question
\ DAILY FEATURE

The beardless Fritz Leiber. playing King solomon in the William Fox the Lyric theatre, New York city, has given rise to much discussion on the question whether solomon wore a beard or not. J. Gordon Edwards, director of the picture. has received a great many letters questioning the historical accuracy of Leiber-S cIean- shaven cOunteuance.
 'I have always pictured Solomon with beard wrote one man II don't know why. but it strikes me that he would have worn one"
 To him Mir. Edwards replied:
 NDore's famous painting. The Judgment of Solomon shows Solo mon beardless. and indeed very much like Fritz L%iber in features We discussed this matter of a beard for Solomon long before we began to make the picture and we found just a1 many authorities against a beard as for it And as the modern ideal of hero-!oVer demands that he be clean7shaven we decided that the solomon of our picture, who is rep resented as a king with eye for q beautiful woman. as he undoubtedly was should not be bearde ed
 At certain times in history the beard has been held in high honor but there is no record that it was so in the time of Solomon. Solo mons father, David, took great stock in boards, and when a heather king cut OH the WnlSkerS Of D3Vld S bassadors, David declared war on the spot, considering it Q great insult He mercifully gave the ambassadors per mission to stay away from the court until their boards were grown, so that they might hide their shame
 But it is well known that Solomon was not such a stickler for conven- tions his father had been. His commerce with other nations contrib ut'ed to. his wisdom and broadened his mind. beside making his Kingdom rich There is good reason to believe that his intercourse with the other nations may have given him the idea of the clean-shaven warrior.
 The Greek and Roman soldiers wore no boards for the reason that hair on the face would have given an enemy a purchase hold in close fighting: and a beard1ess state was considered not incompatible with manly dignity. but on the contrary most proper for a. man of action.

COMING
The New Merry Widow Hat

What will the new Merry Widow hat be like?
 Henry w. Savage. who is now pre- pairing a revival of the most success full of all operettas. confesses to knowing something about the new scenery, the cast and even the cos tunes that will decorate his produc- tiOn of The Merry Wid oIv'' this fall. But as to the Merry Widow hat nobody knows" ayers Mir. Savage, subjunctively, unless it be Miss Peggy Hoy1-"
 Now. since the milliners of three countries, France, England and America, conhd dently expect the new Merry Widow hat to have the same effect on hat fashions as it's proto- type, the old Merry Widow sailor of fourteen seasons ago-WhiCh led mil hnery styles for seven years-a vast deal of feminine interest attaches to Miss Peggy Hoyt- As creator. de- Signer and executor of the new Merry Widow hat, Miss Hoyt is the envy of the entire millinery world. From great Parisian establishments to humble little home milliners who submitted their ideas. Miss Hoyt was chosen by MT. Savage in one of the keenest competitions of stage his tory.
 Naturally the producer wants new Merry Widow hat that will com sailor of the original production. What more forceful publicity could play attract than a millinery furore? To make a Merry Widow hat that will be a. sensation is nows therefore, up to- Miss Peggy Hoyt-
 Of recent years, in exclusive Amer ican society circles, Miss Hoyt'S hats have supplanted French creations. In fact, certain fashionable Parisiennes send to New York to get their hats from Peggy Hoyt- This young woman's advent in the world of busi- ness came about, quite accidentally, seven years ago. She was then a de- butante, a young society bud with decided family tree but an undecided fortune Brown-eyed, bedimpled and bobbed haired. Miss Peggy had never done a useful thing in her life except make her own hats. In revolt from the marriage market she began. during her first society season, to make hats for her friends. Then she set up shop in her own tiny workroom. and made hats for her friends friends. Today her salon, east of Fifth Avenue, in the fashiona- ble Fifies, is one of the largest and certainly one of the most unusual and artistic millinery a-oIishments in the world

GOSSIPS of fashion in Paris las >A winter and early in the spring were all busy chatting about the re- turn of draperies. The simple froctl was to disappear and odd outlines were being slletched by the French. design, CTS of styles destined for AmericL apparel.
 However, with the exception of very small clique who will try any thing so long as 1t is the latest freak of fashion, the reception of these ec- centric models with their voluminious draper1es was very frosty, and as 1t Is the verdict of the Average Woman which passes sentence on the admit tance or punishment of Paris styles into this country, this danger to the slim silhouette was modified in later designs.
 Draperies there are in many vari- cities, but they are so c1everly and art fully managed that the illusion of slenderness of outline is maintained. The sketch shows a charming evening dress which has been imported by Deutz and Ortenberg in which this sdlltui manipulation IS happily demon strated.
 It is a fascinating little frock, chris tened by its designer aptfy, the dress of four vei1s." Fashioned of double crepe Elizabeth, which is a very heavy quality of Georgette, 1t takes its name literally from four squares of black crepe which form the skirt. Each square forms point at the waist and Is edged with strands of black silk separately sewn on, giving a 1ightness of effect not obtainable in the regular fringe No hooks, buttons or snaps fasten this frock The shoulder straps continue down into the sash which crosses at the back and ties m front.

After a long day at the office or factory what could be better than a nice bath and a cool plunge in one of the best and most up-to-date Turkish bath hotels in the country.
