LEATRICE JOY GOES

Hollywood, Calf.

| Hollywood, CALI.
yITHOM do you think @. b. de Mile
VVhas chosen for his new leading
women, Leatrice Joy, who used to do
many Goldwyn pictures, and Edith
Roberts, a Universal star. I wasn't
able to find out II they were to appear
\ together IN his next picture, but /
would imagine go, inasmuch as he has
signed them both up at once.

time yesterday. She Is doing a South

Walter Long, the old darling, doing

one of the creations she bought on her
recent European trip. Walter spies her,
sboos the natives out and then sings
A mean eve at her. Just then some-
body offered me an ice cream cone, so /
fed.
Miss Minter said, looking me over
kindly, "You are avery small person
to be representing such lawge paper

Right next door to the Minter's set
was T. Roy Barnes indulging in his
own particular brand Of comedy. Be-
fore every scene he would dash over

In talking to Miss MacAvoy the other
day, I said something about marriage

Why indeed?

1t was the lot Of Mr.. Lewis, as in
the former film, to act as expert ad-
wiser to the author, which, he admitted,
was not a hard task, seeing that Mr..
Kipling occupied a beautiful Tudor
manor, Burwash, in Surrey, where he
founded his famous PUCK stories.

Kipling will remember tho tense dra =

R HERE'S one good point about ~ Moses, he never runs away" said A Peter Harris, as he frightened the
 - saddle girth around the big, raw boned mule.
 '.But he stumbles so," complained his sister Grace. "Its his front feet that stumble, going up hill and his hind feet coming down.
 "Cheer up, little sister," replied Peter. "Alex may yet let us have Prince"
 He put Grace up first and swung himself into the saddle, asking: Have you the eggs?''
 "Yes, Brother, I have them, but how long I shall keep them is for Moses to say"
 Off they went at a slow pace down the road sweet with spring flowers and new leaves. It was good to be alive, but Grace hoped they would not meet any of their friends for she felt that she and her brother cut a sorry figure on the back of the disreputable ble old mule. The trouble was that owing to the Revolutionary War their family had become too run down to affori more than one good horse and he was being used by Alex, their older broth CT, so the younger brother and sister had to content themselves with Moses since it was long, long before the day of hivvers.
 When they reached the big colonial house where they were to leave the eggs, Grace offered to stay on the road with Moses while her brother went in.
 She slid off the mules back, letting the reins trail on the ground. He could be trusted not to run away. Then she pumped herself down on the soft new grass sprinkled with violets and dandelions The warm drowsy air stirred her brown curls and before she knew it she was half asleep.
 Suddenly she was aroused by the sound of galloping hoofs and starting up she saw a horse coming full tilt in her direction.
 "A runaway" she thought, and be- fore she realized what she was doing she ran out in the road, directly in the animals path. On 1t came but Grace never wavered. Her will must have conquered, for the horse shied and stopped when 1t reached her,
 But Moses had been showing great excitement as the horse came thunder ing nearer and nearer and when it came close and shied, it crowded against the old mule. This was too much for Moses. Something about the panting, quivering animal fright ened him. With a shril1 cry he wheeled about and tore off at full gal lop in the direction of home.
 Grace held the new horse by the mane and breathed into its nostrfIs as she had seen their Sam do. Just as she had succeeded in calming 1t her brother came from the house.
 "Gramercy!" he exclaimed "what have you there? Is 1t Moses traasfig-

 There sat Grace in the middle of the road. her hat gone and her hair tGm- bling about her face, while above her stood old Moses looking surprised and anxious.
 'Ah, my good Moses!" cried Grace. 'I needed this lesson. Old friends are best!"
 Peter got up and finding no bones broken helped his sister to mount and soon they were off again for home. Around the bend they plodded when suddenly Moses stopped in his tracks and let out a shrill neigh.
 There in the road stood the strange horse cropping grass. Peter had a coiled lariat on his pommel for he had been practicing lassoing in the manner of the American Indians and as they neared the horse he took the rope in his hand

 or some other water plant, just as birds build their nests in bushes and trees. The mother stickleback swims in the hole and lays her eggs. which drop down and lodge among the grass of the nest, and lie there until they hatch. She does not go off and leave the eggs, even if they are hidden in a nest, but she stays right with them, her head sticking out of the front door and her tail out of the back one, and watches over them. The father stickleback hangs around in calling distance, and if his mate has to leave the nest to snatch a bite to eat, he takes her place and guards the eggs untl she comes back. If the parents are so small, you can imagine the size of the babies when they come out of the egg. They are not much more than a pair of tiny black eyes, in jelly-like substance as clear as glass. While they are little and helpless. the

What's the matter?" cried Jenny hurrying up to her. 'Oh Jenny, my new hat Go after it please. Never mind me, though I have hurt my foot. Only go after the hat"

 "A nice months rest for you, young lady" he said.
 Now tell me how it all happened" said Mother. as Ethel lay comfortably on the sofa, her foot bound up.
 Ethel's nickname had been Own up Ethel" so she started her story bravely. And now I have lost my lovely new hat" she finished sadly.
 Well" said Mother. You certainly deserved to lose it. but you have been more fortunate than you expect, for your hat was picked up on the road near the school by some autOm Obilists, who carried it to Miss Clarke 10 see if it belonged to any of her children. and of course Jenny claimed 1t for you"

| AETHEL always declared it was the | E~ winds fault, but Mother said "a there was no one to blame but 1 ~e.A herself. However, I will leave you to decide for yourselves, and go ahead with my tale. Ethel was certainly very proud of her new hat, with its long streamers
 of blue ribbon, and thought 1t very hard when Mother said she must not wear 1t to school. Now what in the world was the use of having a brand new hat. unless one could wear 1t and show it off to the other girls partic-

 But this morning Julia had ap- peared at school in a new white shady hat. a pretty white daisy wreath around it, with her head higher than ever. This was too much for Ethel and in spite of the fact that Mother was not at home to be coaxed into consent. she decided to take matters in her own hands and wear the new hat that afternoon to school.
 So taking it from the box she put it on, and stood in front of the mirror admiring it. She felt a sudden tweak at the ribbons, and saw reflected in the mirror the mocking face of her young brother Jack.

Now most kinds of fish are not very good mothers, they just lay their eggs, and go on about their business, and never think of them again. If the eggs are gobbled up by other fish, all well and good, they have done their duty, and that's the end of it. Now fish lay a great many more eggs than birds would know what to do with, the codfish for instance, that ts so good when made up into balls, is said to lay about ten million eggs. Now that Is probably more than all the birds in a State lay in a year, but the mother cod knows that thou sands and thousands of the eggs are going to be eaten befor> they have chance to hatch, and that other thou sands of the young fish will be de- voured while they are babies, and that comparatively few will live to be
 grown, so she allows for all this when she lays eggs by the million Now the mother1y little stickleback doesn't just lay her eggs anywhere, and leave them to their fate, but she and her little mate, who by the way. is a very good father too, pull up the grass and weeds that grow in the water, and work them into a kind of ball with a hole through

A Fish That Makes a Good Mother

EVERYBODY knows that birds
 build wonderful nests for their M eggs and babies, but everybody
 A doesn't know that there is a cer- tain little fish that does the very same thing. They are little bits of fellows, hardly ever more than two or three inches long. They are called sickle backs, because they have a row of stickers on their backs as sharp as needles, and these are the weapons they fight with; and a fish that has felt them once, is going to be mighty careful to keep out of their way the second time.
 As little sas sticklebacks are, they are chuck full of fight, and are afraid of nothing that swims. No matter if a fish is fifty or a hundred times as big as they are, they don't hesitate to sail in and drive 1t away. They dart under a big fish, jab it with it's needles and are gone before the fish can turn ASound.
 So the big fish that would like the best in the world to eat them for breakfast seldom try, as they have learned from experience, that there are some things 1t doesn't pay to eat, and that stickleback is one of them
