his last previous release, In every
essential respect, "The Hick" affords
its star ample opportunity to be
absurdly ridiculous, hair-raising and

as a natural sequence that
women must do most of the
buying. They have the time
and they have the informa-
ton as to household and fam
lily needs. They have buying
intelligence.
The average man is not
capable of buying anything
outside of his own apparel.
Even this is quite often
bought by wives who are
constrained to save them
selves the modification of
seeing their husbands in i'll
fitting, inappropriate cloth
ing. 1t is very rare, indeed,
to find a man who can buy a
necktie that is not a sartorial
monstrosity. After a few
attempts he wisely concludes
to do no further violation to
the decency and refinements
of well-ordered society and so
he lets his wife buy all his
necktieS.
1t will also be generally
admitted that women do most
of the reading. They read
the newspapers, the maga-
zines and the books. They
are the repositories of literary
information. While the men
are playing golf and follow
ing other necessary recre-
ational diversions the women
are busy absorbing the news.
There was a time when the
reading of newspapers was a
mans habit. Today the
newspaper is devoured through
all its pages and its depart
ments by women. The news
paper is home institution.

newspaper from the home is
certain to start a row. If he
wants a newspaper to read on
the street car or in his office
he must buy an extra COPY
and what reading he does
is of "a very cursory and
superficial character. He is a
reader of headlines-and
everyone knows that head
lines do not contain the
''news' and are quite often
misleading. g.
With this brief survey of
woman's purchasing power it
is easy to see that the news
paper, because of its intimate
relation to the woman's
sphere of action, must stand
first as an advertising medium
for nearly all commodities
that are sold in the average
store. The newspaper is not
only the best medium because
of its direct relation to the
housewife in the home, but
because it reaches the men,
,-bers of the family at the best
hour of the day when their
minds are most receptive.
This is true of the morn
ing paper and the evening
paper. Other literature that
comes into the home is read
at leisure moments. The
newspaper is quickly and
promptly read because its life
is only twenty-four hours and
tomorrow its news will be
stale and uninteresting. 1t is,
therefore. the medium for
orick and decisive results
for making an immediate and
defrite impression upon the
mind of the reader.

Women Do
The Buying

In considering the value of
newspaper advertising and its
vital relation to merchandiS-
ing there are two things to
consider; (i) women do
eighty-five per cent of the
buying; (2) women do ninety
per cent of the reading.
These statements will be
challenged in many quarters,
but as Advertising is not an
exact science there is no data
available to either disprove
them or substantiate them.
It is best, therefore, to waste
no time in argument, but to
assume that the statements
are approximately correct.
The question of percentages
NAV be left to those who like
to split hairs in a discussion
of, something that does not
admit of mathematical dem
onStration.
Nearly every observing,
intelligent person knows that
most of the buying is done
BY women. Dry goods stores
and all sorts of shops are
maintained for women. The
most successful ones are those
that cater to women's tastes
and desires. Three-fourthS
of all the customers seen in
any store Except a mans
clothing STOREY at any time OF
the day are women. With

fair hair and a charmingly amiable
temper. The courtship was brief and
rather stin and formal, and the mar
riage took place at the chapel of the
royal castle at Berlin on February 27,
1881.
From the very beginning OF her
married life Princess Augusta Vic
toria devoted herself to the most per-
feet fulfillment of her duties as wife
and mother. Her first child, Prince
Friedrich Wilhelm, was born on May
o. 1882. and by the time he had
reached his tenth year, he had Ave
brothers and a baby sister. who was
born In 1892. The fact that six years
after her marriage her husband sue
ceeded to the throne and she became
German empress did not in the least
change her attitude. She remained
the same simple housewife that she
had been from the beginning. devoted
to her domestic duties and the com
fort and welfare OF her husband and
her children.
Empress Augusta Victoria never
had the least ambition to be a leader
in the social or political world. She
had few intimate friends outside OF
her family circle and never became
the center of any clique at court. Yet
she could not be called a recluse. Al
though she always preferred the quiet
family life to public functions, she
never shirked her duties as hostess
and imperial consort, and bore her
with quiet dignity, displaying seriou.

she had won after marriage by her
rare womanly qualities, she was ever

LOEW'S PALACE
"The Love Speclal.o

Wallace Reid, the Adonis of the
screen, Is ever an attraction OF the
first magnitude at Loew's Palace
Theater. but when he appears in an
adaptation of one OF Frank II. Spear
mans immortal railroad romances of
action and thrills. and is supported
by q cast that includes Agnes Ayres
and Theodor, Roberts, some idea can
be gained OF the commanding enyer-
tainment Importance OF The Love
Special" in which Mr.. Reid began a
weeks engagement at the Palace yes
terday.
Wallace Reid has made the biggest
hit of his career in a series OF auto
mobile racing stories and in The
Love Special" the adaptation of
Spearman's "rhe Daughter of Mag
nate" the same racing acton, adven-
ture and romance has been trans
ferred to a railroad setting with the
happiest possible results.
Miss Ayres. who has already star
red in stories like THE Furnace" and
others and Is regarded as one of the
most beautiful women on the screen
She is easily one of the most capti-
waiting Of leading ladies when cast
opposite this popular star.
In The Love Special" Wallace is

provements and in a perilous. high
speed race through a blizzard. she
and the young engineer not only
completely circumvent the plans OF
the villain, but learn definitely that
life will never be the same without
each other.
That, OF course, merely outlines the
high lights Of one OF the most tas-
cinating stories Wallace Reid has
ever brought to the screen and the
supplemental features of the program
make 1t all the more fascinating.
There is a new Sunshine comedy

disguise the lovesick maiden whose
heart yearns for the affection of one
DIR. Drew.
The adventures which thus enter
the life OF Mayme Ladd. the stocking
saleslady. through the fake disclos-
uIes OF an Egyptian seeress comprise
the highlights of picture that
abounds in humor, possesses more
than little OF the elements Of sus-
pcnse and surprise and eventually
reaches a climax of true dramatic
FIBER.
Miss Normand in her congenial stel-
lar role has ample outlet for those
picturesque ebulliences that have
placed her apart from all other screen
condolences. Opportunities of al
most equal value are afforded other
members Of the cast, notably Hugh
Thompson, Doris Pawn, Tully Marsh
all and Eugene Besserer. The pro-
duction is one Of Goldwyn's best and
the photography excellent.
As the principal subsidiary feature
of the bill for yesterday. today and

'MOORE'S GARDEN
1The 0nfSide WQmsn.o

An entertaining and laughable
comedy OF two apartments on adjoin-
ing floors; a fire escape extremely
busy with the comings and goings OF
characters seeking to avoid compro-
missing appearances and an ugly Aztec
idol which causes all the trouble
such is "The Outside Woman" an
adaptation of the stage farce OF the
same name by Philip Bartholmao and
the latest Wanda Hawley Realart pic
ture which opened a weeks engage
ment at Moore's Gtfden Theater yes
terday.
As many will doubtless remember.
THE Outside Woman" 10 one Of those
clever domestic farces in which q
frivolous wife Is taught q sound les
son through q series OF complications
which threaten fora time to wreck
her reputation and happiness on the
reef OF Misunderstanding. The story
concerns q young married couple. the
feminine half of which Is inoculated
with the virus or SWAP" Her ex-
changing of . seemingly worthless
idol for q pair of Armenian shawls
causes unexpected complication when
said idol proves to be worth many
thousands OF dollars.
A painter with a penchant for fig
ures in the nude. his Jealous Spanish
wife. and a pair of "nosy' servants,
all add to the rapid-fire humor of the
production. In this connection the
fire escape really ought to have spe-
cial mention, as IL Is q great aid In
the desperate plight Of the various
characters
Wanda Hawley Is as easy to look at
as usual, and enacts the star role
with all that dimpled mischievous-
ness which has brought her such a big
share of popularity. Big, good-look-
ing Clyde Fillmore is convincing az
the doctor husband, while Sidney
Bracey makes properly amusing
third angle of a most unexpected tri-
angle. A newcomer, Rosita Marstini
a famous Belgian beauty, adds spice
as Bracey's wife. Good comedy also
being furnished by the presence OF
Misao Seki and Thena Jasper, re-
spectively japanese and colored, as
valet and maid and both being leaders
OF their races in the field Of light
comedy.
