 Do you see any difference in Eng land since you were here before?''
 "It is ten years since I was here," Mrs. Austin replied. 'I see a, vast improvement in the dress of the working classes. I do not see any more dingy hand-me-downs on the women and the men are better groomed.
 ''Then notice, too, a changed at- titude in the way the English people treat Americans-they are more cor dial. I think the working classes have improved in every way enor- mously.
 I'm rather disturbed to see so many American films in London. I've walked miles to find a British film. I am particularly interested in films, as I write scenarios myself.
 ttBut what worries me is that the films do not represent American life, and therefore give false ideas of our social and working life.

CAUSE OF FAIRFAX DIVORCE ABOUNDS
 IN MYSTERY

New York, Aug. 17-After reams of publicity, following Mrs. Geraldine F'arrar-Tellegen's election of her hus- bands clothes from their apartment, and denial of home privileges to Lou Tellegen, actor, a cloud of silence has settled over the family troubles of the famous and temperamental oper- atic star, and no one profeses to know what is at the bottom of the 'squab- ble.
 There are indications that neither Tellegen nor Geraldine is over much pleased with the way things are go- ing, as regards publicity. In that respect they are not alone, for James A. StilIman, multi-mi1lionaire eX- banker, who is reported to have had some disagreement with his wife, also found newspaper notoriety rath- CT displeasing, if not to say, dis tasteful.
 Anyhow, Geraldine has found it as one thing to lock ones husband out of the house even when he has been paying his portion of the bills, and quite another to have it all written up by the papers.
 Both Are Mum.
 Neither Lou nor Geraldine will gratify the ardent longing of some millions of readers to tell just what their fracas is all about
 The Stillmans were not so reticent-
 Geraldine is now up in the Adiron- dacks.
 Not a word is being said by either the operatic singer of her actor-Span. ish hIF'rench- ch-Dutch-Amerlcan huspdno about divorce
 Basil Lawrence, business manager for the play, ''Don Juan in which Tellesen is to star, denied that Jeal- ousy on the part of Geraldine, be- cause Lou was returning to the love act role and embracing stage-sweet- hearts again, was the cause of the family squabble. ,,
 .sMr. Tellegen has been busy all Summer rehearsing his part in 'Don Juan which is a heavy one," salo Lawrence. His part in the play is very heavy one, you know-he makes ardent love to twelve women.
 Makes Love to Dozen
 "Mr Tellegen has asked me to make a. statement to the newspapers
 "Mr. Tellegen in May signed the contract to appear as the star in Don nc other man on the stage able to clav the part = that of making love to twelve women at once. It is silly to say that Miss Farrar objected to this-his making love to so many women on the stage
 aAs a. matter of fact, Miss Farrar read the play, and MT. Hel1egen told us that she wanted to buy a share in it. She even went so far in the matter as to tell MT. Tellegen that she would arrange the incidental music for the production.
 sMr TeIlegen feels very hurt at the statement that he had not paid his share of home expenses Or con tributed anything toward the support of the house."

A Story From airfieId
 Beach

A well dressed young lady came into my office the other day and asked for me. When I came out this lady said
 Doctor, I want to tell you a little story by way of introduc- ton and to explain why Pm up here."
 Well I couldn't imagine what she was driving at but I smiled and sIce went on
 ''This story starts out on the sands of Fairfield Beach. A party of us sat there enjoying the breeze that was coming in from friend. mentioned that she had put in a miserable night as the result of aching teeth
 "At this, one of the men spoke up:
 'I haven't much sympathy for you, young lady," said this fellow-Mr. M L., a welI-known the- atrical producer and manager in New York city, I've lost all my sympathy for anybody at Fairfield Beach that lets their teeth keep them awake since an experience I had last fall.
 "I happened to be in Bridge port on business he went on. q remember it was a wet disagree able night-and I was suffering tor- lures from a raging toothache. ." Finally I couldn't stand it any longer and | walked into a store where bought my clothes and asked the manager of that depart ment if he could recommend a good dentist who could fix me up. The man told me that he'd always pfnced a lot of confidence in Dr. Weidlich-
 WeIi-any old port in a storm, you knOW-SO \ hustled over there with every expectation of being hurt
 Believe me or not, friends, \ had that tooth fixed up in good shape that day without its ever hurting me the least bit! I was so surprised and satisfied that I went over to Bridgeport on the two next days to have them fix up ALL of my teetff-they sure were in bad shape when I went up on the first trip: a
 "'I've never had the slightest trouble from my teeth since that time and I've been doing some mighty active work since-spreading the gospel of good teeth and good health. Believe me, if I ever have to have any more dental work done, I'll go to Bridgeport even if I'm To- cated at the other end of the world!
