CONFESSIONS
OF A MOVIE
STAR
CHAPTER LVI.
MRS. MINISTERS AND THE
RED DRESS.

THIS episode of my confessions
might be set down as the affair
Of the red dress.
Mrs. eBatty, seamstress, worked
for Mrs. McMasters when her ser
vices were not required by the COM
pany. Her last visit at the shore
farm had been exciting, she told the
girls in the dormitory.
Mrs. McMasters had been expect
ing an elegant dinner dress from
Sisson's and Mrs. Beatty was to
make some adjustments. In fact,
she was fitting Mrs. McMasters to a
simple orchid organdy when the box
from Sisson's was delivered.
1t was sent at once to the sewing
room. It was supposed to contain a
creation of gray net and silver thread
lace a birthday gift from her hus-
band. Mrs. McMasters was very
anxious to wear it at her birthday
dinner that night.
But when the box was opened, it
revealed a flimsy splendor of rose
, red net! A mere wisp of a dress with
single strap holding up what there
was of a bodice. The short skirt
consisted of few layers of scalloped
net-rose petals, in fact. There was
corset to match, and some scant
transparent lingerie, hosiery, pumps
-blabla!
1t was it was not the dress intend
ed for Mrs. McMasters. But the
envelope which came with it was adj
dressed in McMaster's own hand
writing Mrs. Beatty knew it well.
When Mrs. McMasters read the
card in the envelope, she was SO
startled that her hand trembled and
she dropped it. 1t fell just where
Mrs. Beatty could read it:
"To my sweet red rose"
A white lily-that would describe

BRAIN TRAMPS

HUNDREDS of thousands of Job
less men have cut loose from
their moorings, They are drifting
about the country, seeking work on
the ether side of the HILL"
A census taken now would show
great changes in population during
the last year.
For rent" signs are becoming in
creasingly numerous in cities. That
shows one of the human currents
away from the cities, back to farms
and small towns.
Business depression is re-distrib-
uting the population.
In normal times of prosperity,
wanderers are few, compared with
the rest of the population.
And yet, we are all Migrants at
heart.
The average person is a mental
tramp-an intellectual rover. Most of
the time, his mind is elsewhere. He
is day-dreamer, mentally exploring
other lines of work.
That is the reason for most fail
ures-neglecting the present job, the
spirit wandering in far countries,
imagining itself in the movies, South
Seas or position of great power.
A certain amount of this brain
roaming is necessary to keep am
bition alive. But real success rarely
comes until the brain tramp sends out
roots and concentrates in one place,
on one job, 80
The lure of the distant weakens the
grasp on the present
Mental hoboism is common trait
during prosperity. During hare
times, it becomes intensified.
Confronted by a problem, the HUI
man, tendency is to imagine that the
way to solve the problem is to evadt
it and take up something else.
Thus we have a manufacturer see
ing only black clouds and convinced
that almost any other line of worl
would be better. We have the sales
man, discouraged by dead markets
devoting his powers of concentration
largely on the search of an easier wa!
of making money. Likewise, the far
mer, who thinks things have gon'
to pot, and wonders if he mightn'
do better in Canada.
| All this brain tramping is going t.
work greater changes in our eco
nomic system than the army of wan
dering unemloyed.

Mrs. McMasters. Or one might call
her a pansy, but never "a red rose. "
Her character wasn't like that of a
red rose, either. She was decidedly
ethereal and spirituelle.
Now it appeared that Mrs. Nc
Masters had heard a little gossip
about a certain dancer, Rosalie
Bruce. For her, the dress would be
most appreciative, while she would
deride the gray and silver net which
doubtless she had received.
Mrs. McMasters did not know the
dancers address, but she rightly
guessed that Mrs. Beatty, sewing
woman for theatrical ladies, would
know it. That was how Mrs. Beatty
happened to get the story.
To conclude it in half the time Mrs
Beatty took to tell it:
Mrs. McMasters took one of hel
own calling cards, enclosed it in the
envelope with her husbands, sum

TO ENCOURAGE THRIFT.

7 Asst Thursday there went on sale
at the various postoffices an en-
tirely new series of treasury savings
certificates, having values at maturi-
ty of $25, 500 and $1,000. The GER
tificates are now offered at flat
prices of $40, $50 and $500. They
will attain their maturity value in
five years. The interest is equiva-
lent to IL per cent compounded
semi-annually.
Savings facilities of the postal sys-
tenn, now available at 1000 postof-
fees, are being rapidly extended. De-
posits in the postal savings banks may
be exchanged for treasury certifi-
Gates without loss of interest. At the
same time, treasury savings stamps,
in one dollar denominations, will re-
main on sale, as a convenience to
those who wish to accumulate the
purchase price through stamps.
The plan is designed to stimulate
the accumulation of savings by ac-
ceptirg deposits in amount of 81 or
more through the postal savings
banks which are being conducted in
the postoffices, and to encourage in
vestment by offering treasury savings
certificates on more attractive terms,
in convenient denominations, both for
direct sale, and on conversion of pos
tai savings deposits
The new certificates will be re-
deemable before maturity, and if re-
deemed thus will bear 1-2 per cent.
They are registered to avoid loss,
and each certificate will bear the
name of its owner. The small war
time saving securities will be discon-
tinucd. Thrift stamps outstanding
may be redeemed or exchanged for
the new issue. These new treasury
savings certificates in denominations
of $25 and 500 are now on sale at
the Americas postoffice Also the |
S1.0O treasury saving stamps.
Uncle Sam is doing a splendid work |
In thus making it easy and attractive
for people to save. America has al
ways been a nation of spendthrifts,
which is not a matter of high recon-
mendation. When the people as
whole become habituated to putting
a little of their income constantly in
a savings bank Of some sort, govern
nent or private, there will be greater
interest in the affairs of the nation.
