 Jim studied me for a. moment with question in his eyes. When he spoke his voice was tired and there was a strange noste in it-as if he, too, were searching for something.
 Anne, can't you let me run this2'' he asked, stumblingly. Why can't you have a. little more confidence in me? Pm an old-fashioned man and I believe we'd both be happier if you could resign yourselffto to letting me be the head of the household.

REAL GREENWICH VILLAGE
 IN THE MOVIES.

The arch of Washington square. glowing ghostly white through the night-mists of old New York, has been described as the boundary be- tween aUtopia of dreams, a harbor of derelict hopes, and the mighty city that reaches out between the whirl- ing mill-stoneS of commerce
 Greenwich village, into which one passes through the stately arch, has been used as a locale by writers, art ists and dramatists for years-but only the Greenwich village of the tourists has been depicted
 Now comes a shadow drama Tn which the real Greenwich village will be shown. just as it is seen nightly bv those denizens of the quarter who leave the trade lanes and foregather in the dingy glow of one of the ob- scure cafes
 The picture is to be called ''The Dangerous Moment and is being produced at Universal City with Car mel Myers in the leading role. The story is by Douglas Doty. formerly editor of the Cosmopolitan magazine and one of the few outsiders who found welcome in 'The Black Beetle Cafe" in the days of it's fame.

From that day to this it has been handed down from father to- son, until at last it came within reach of a man who tore it's secret out of it. and lost his life in the ven ture.'

A DELICATE PERFUME

A great many of my younger read
 CTS seem to think that the question
 of perfume is 8 very important one,
 and I suspect that they are right
 For certainly there is nothing worse
 than to be constantly in the company
 of somebody who uses strong perfum-
 to remember is that no perfume is al-
 ways all right. Too much perfume is
 always all wrong. If you must econo-
 mize, the first place to begin is in
 the matter of perfumery.
 And I might say also that If you
 are going to be extravagant the first place to begin is in the matter of
 .perfumery, because any perfume Or sachet that is purchased should be of the very best quality. There is never any excuse for cheap per fumes.
 It is exceedingly difficult to make perfumes at home. I have any num- Der of formulas, but, find from the to fill them, and that some of them are very expensive indeed. Most people who live in the country make themselves rose jars, because of their delightful odor, and some women use the petals of other flowers in the same way.
 As a general thing I think that the incest way for a girl to give all her personal belongings the delicate scent that she prefers, would be by the use of Sachet bags. Good sachet powder is not necessarily expensive ana a little of it, folded into soft puff or absorbent cotton and made into a sachet bag is a convenient way of us ing the powder. These little bags can be slipped among her lingerie, into her travelling bags or even carried Tn the nockets of her coat. The fra grance from them will be noticeable, vet not sufficiently noticeable to be too obvious. After all, the worst crime in the use of perfumery is that the odor becomes too obvious. c. H. G.:-f you have a soft and tender voice, you should be rather pleased with it, but if it is weak and without character (which is an en- tirelv different matter) then you should take exercises to strengthen it. Deep breathing exercises will be very good; particularly deep breathlnS exercises while you are walking swift lv through the open air, or while you

Growing Up!

"Edgar's'' success are even deeper than that fact.
 The screen is a medium all it's own and needs treatment specific to its qualities. The translation of novels and plays was a necessary part of the development of the medium, but as J. G. Hawks, himself the author of some 200 screen stories, pointed out recently, the exploitation of fiction and drama for film purposes has all most bankrupted those markets. so far as the screen is concerned, and more and more. the original screen story and author will forge to the front The success of Edgar" be- comes important because it shows that authors of reputation and skill. adapting their flair to the screen. can achieve genuine and popular results.
 The Serial Effect.
 Edgar" has become real because he has been built-up as a character precisely as a character is built-up in a novel-through the projection of the passions, foibles, and triumphs and failures All of the episodes are two reelers, and each one has continued the development and revelation of -'Edgar's" boyhood desires and ele- ments. MT. Tarkington has had the avantage of this serial effect-the continual success of revealing Ed gar.' The author of an ordinary five-reel picture has not, of course, this aid.
 EQSar, InereIOfe, IS growing up with the screen, as many of us have and are. He is displaying all the boyish qualities which MT. Parking ton knows and reveals in hi sinin1ft- able fashion just as in the past the screen has revealed it's own juvenile and boyish qualities. But those days, the days of extreme youth, are pas; ing, and in a few years, when 'tku- gar,'' alas, is grown up, we shall see some additional facts of interest in the grown up screen, as we'll as in the grOWn-IlD "Etd gar.''

 Many a housewife prefers to elim- mate as many ornaments as possible during the slipping season, which will be approaching by the time these slips are made and on the chairs Those ornaments which are retained should fill a definite part in a decor tive scheme. One should plan to simplify the windows, also; perhaps by using simple glass curtains and Venetian blinds, and Tn many cases using the same material for win dow curtains and for slip covers, making the room very attractive.

ELIMINATES ORNAMENTS.

Slips are virtually made on the furniture. A piece of material is pinned on the part Of the chair one has decided to start with, and after it is carefully fitted it is cut the shape, leaving plenty of allowance for seams. In this way one should carefully do the whole chair, sewing the various pieces together as one cuts them out, and trying on many times in order to insure a perfect fit. Sometimes it is found easier to do all the basting before any part is renoved; again working from a preliminary paper pattern may seem easier.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
Of impure matter daily, when un-
healthy some part Of this impure mat
ter is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms
which vary widely but may include
pam in the back, headache. nervous.
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatic pains,
goat, gravel, disorders of eyesight
and hearing, dizziness. irregular
heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy, de-
