Yet most Of us LET our lives be the
sport of chance. We are utterly pur-
poseless We are helpless victims OF
any accident that befalls US.
We do not take the trouble TO find
out what occupation nature intended

because the man with forge near us
needed a helper, or we become a
preacher because Uncle Ebenezer il

We marry. just as casually. some
body we happened TO he thrown with,
without ascertaining whether we are
soul mates or not. so we muddle along

fed. putting up the best we can with
what we have got. when we might
have had what We wanted If we had
only had enough intelligence and de-
termination to really find out what we
desired. and go get il.
The chief victims OF the pIanIess life
are women. The great reason why
women so seldom attain anything

way station at which they are invited

When you find n woman who has
set her heart on being at the head of
her own business, or a highly paid
private secretary, or a buyer. or TO
have her name in electric lights over
a theatre door, you may as well be
thinking up appropriate words of con-
graduation. She'll get there, for the
woman with a plan carries il out.
II may be said that the practically
universal feminine plan is to get mar
ried. True. And most women achieve
this end. but they even do this in "a
hit-or-miss kind of a way, as is proven
by the kind Of men they marry. They
haven't even worked their matrimoni-
al plans out definitely enough to make
a success of marriage by selecting the
type of man with whom they will be
happy.
Worse still. although they plan to
marry, they do not plan TO be good

silk Husbands and Calico
Wives" Equity Pictures special
production starring House Peters,
which is TO be shown at the Rialto
theatre Sunday, will be highly in
teresting to local moving picture
devotees for number Of reasons.
The picture is based on Monte NJ.
katterjohn's popular novel OF
American life. thoroughly and in
tensely modern story dealing with
both country and city. No finer or
truer to life picture has ever ap-
peared on the screen-it is intensely
absorbing and timely with a beauti-
full love story running through it.
The story depicts wildly the strug-
giles Of two young people making
their start in life fresh from the
country. They are full of the enthu-
siasm Of youth and are thrilled in
their call of the great city, when
the offer comes to go to New York.
What the tumult of the metropolis
makes of them, this strong man and
woman who. in the midst of all their
struggles to establish themselves,
have found romance and a great
love is the big. human theme OF

ture which comes to the Majestic
Sunday.
William Russell is said to have
scored a triumph in this, his latest
picture. On the comedy side of a
clever story are his ludicrous at
tempts to ape his new acquaint-
ances abroad. who have done little
else than loll in the lap Of luxury.
His canopied bed is merely new
tangled bunk, according to the
rough and ready miner, and the
necessity of dozen or more
knives, forks and spoons at each
plate at the table is merely an
other form of another Kind of
bunk"
There is ample room in the story
for laughs, signs and thrills after
the Western miner makes his pile
and goes out to see the world. His
attempt to burn up" Broadway
and his experiences while trying to
hobnob with nobility are certainly
amusing incidents. But Russell
also has a chance to bring the
catch" to the throat when he mar
ries into nobility and eventually
learns that his money was the real
attraction.
AS the story proceeds Colorado
Jim is again found in his mining
cabin with fortune depleted, bu1
with unbroken spirit despite the
presence of Disguised wife. The
rugged miner knows no defeat
and the closing scenes between hin
and the wife who eventually learns
to love him lead to a beautiful
climax.
