to do my best for him and the chill cren. A DESERTED WIFE.
 Yes, indeed, l would advise you to get a divorce and custody of the chil- dren- The amount of money your husband gives you is ridicuIously small, and I believe if you take the matter to court he will be forced to provide more for the support of the children. You need not fear that you will lose the child he wants. I quite agree with you that he would not make a fit guardian.
 Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am young girl IS years old I married a boy the same age and I loved him. Since I married him have had to work for him and. he does not work at all I never had to work before and my father told me when I married him I need not come back any more if married that boy. I let such nice chances go by. It doesn't make any dierence how much you love any body, you can get out of heart with him if he does the way my husband has been acting.
 don't mind working if my hus- band would work and help, but he will not stay at home at night and I am worried with his coming in late I am tired working and paying my board when I did not have to pay board at home. What will become Of me later on? Please give me your advice2 SwEETTE
 Write to your father and ask him to forgive you and take you home If he will not I would advise you to keep on working, but to leave your husband. It will be easier to support just yourself than to earn money for both of you. Your husband is un- worthy Or he would be ashamed to let you work when he does not. Now is the time to take your stand. Un- less you leave him he will always be a burden to you. But perhaps if he thinks he has lost you he will make good so that you will return to him.

THE MUSIC LESSON

IIona went-off to her music les son with her thoughts in a chaotic state Her parents had engaged the very best teacher in the town for her, and truth to tell this was the one phase of her new life that 1lona took to eagerly.
 The piano seemed to her like some very close friend. She was not learn ing to play it merely to be able to show off nor as an accomplishment, rather as a most necessary some thing, as a balm for her soul and a relaxation in her hours of ease. She was eager to learn to master this in strument, outwardly so cold, inwardly so truly warm and beautiful.
 Madame Wilbur found her new pu- pill strangely distrait for the 11rst time that day. The mind of Ilona was still whirling away to those far off cities where anxious relatives awaited her in huge mansions and to regions where millions of dances and functions 1oomed high and wide.
 'So. with the little finged made moiselIe,' Madame admonished You are not very attentive today, mann -selle Ilona. You are maybe far different from the rest. She would thinking of other things?" Here Madame Wilbur raised a playful eye brow. This new pupil of hers was far different from the rest. She would prove difficult the good lady had already pointed out to her mother. Difficult but interesting She has ze soul, and the air mystere of all true artists

Sign the pledge.
 Send it in.
 Get weighed
 Begin.
 l didn't know that was going to rhyme. I see l have some talent as a poet. That's nice. Maybe you are a lover of rare poetry and I can help brighten your hard life as we go on
 While ycu are reducing I want you to get weighed in the same weight clothing, on the same scales if possi- ble since scales sometimes vary, and at the same time every day in relation to eating and elimination. Once or twice a week is often enough to weigh unless you are the fortunate possessor of a bathroom scale.
 Have you joined? All right. First Order! Shrink Your Stomach
 Shrink your stomach. Good heav- ems, you have heard of shrinking fan nels, shrinking vioIets. shrinking personalities, but you never heard of shrinking stomachsi Neither did I un- til it popped into my heaa one Gay as a good descriptive term. So when shrinking stomach goes swinging around the world and everyone is wondering where it originated, re- member it was I, your fat director who started it.
 Begin by going a, liquid diet for three days. I will direct you daily
 You may have any liquid you like providing the total amount for the day does not go over 800 or 500 cal ories.
 If you like skim or buttermilk take a glass of that every three hours. One glass (S oz.) equals so calories. Six glasses would amount to 4SO calories If you use whole milk, you can take only half the amount you would or the skim or buttermill1 for it has twice the fuel value. If you don't like milk. take fruit juice-a scant glass, 100 calories. If you want tea or coffee with crea m or sugar or both remember that one small teaspoonfuI of sugar is 25 caIories and average cream fs 100 calories for 1 1-3 oz Cbout three tablespoons. Coffee and tea themselves are practically cal priceless.
 Don't total more than 500 or GOO calories during the day. Drink all the water you like. It is not fatten- ing.

A WoMANs VANITY.

As the human race emerged from savagery and became more sensitive to things that were beautiful the hair was regarded as something more than a covering to protect the scalp from the weather.
 It was a disgrace to be bald in Bib Heal times. The ancients of the East ern nations wore their hair long, both the men and the women, and had most eXtravagan fashions in curling and dressing it, and in using sweet smelling pomades. When Caesar en- tered GauI he found both sexes wear ing long hair, and when he conquer ed them he compelled them to shear their locks in token of submission. Being bald himself he probably ap- preciated the punishment:
 The ancient Birtons were proud of their long. blonde hair. To make it brighter they used a mixture of lime, tallow and vegetable asht' The greatest disgrace for woman was to have her hair cut off, the penalty of an unfaithful wife.
 But long curled hair carried to an extreme seems to mark a period or decadence. There Is a story of a Norman bishop who, in 11O4, preach ed at the Court of Henry I. against the folly and vanity of long curled perfumed locks. He was so eloquent that the king and his court had their hair cut off by this jealous old bishop himself.
 History is full of such amusing stories of cur1ed hair. The Greeks shaved their hair and left their mourningg locks upon the grave of

DINNER STORIES

A Fullerton man says he gets two eggs a day from e single hen. His plan is ingenious and might be worth trying on a larger scale, so we print it for the benefit of some of our su- burban readers.
 He has arranged mirror opposite Biddy's nest, so that when she hops off and cackIes she sees in the glass what she supposes is another hen cackling. This arouses her jealousy and not to be outdone by a supposed rival she jumps back on the nest and lays another egg.

their beloved. Curled hair has al ways been considered beautiful, and only when carried to extremes has it been thought a useful vanity. It is curious to notice that in history it has been the men and not the women who have set the fashion for curled hair.
 Nj. H.:-A girl of Is years usually has another five years in which to at tain her full development.
 F. L. S.:-If the hair becomes too oily before 1t is time for the regular shampoo, dust some powdered orris root through the hair and let it re- main for five minutes to absorb some of the surplus oil. Remove by shak- ing the hair out in the wind or fan it out after removing the most of it through shaking.

MOVI I E

It is obvious why Nazimova is called the incompatible" This bril- liant actress performance in Ca mille," to be shown at the Empress Theater tonight, evinces such mas tery of technique and emotional quail ity as makes her deserve the epithet to perfection Here she is at her best, and fl Is no exaggeration to say that in this picture she shows herself one nf the greatest actresses of the screen.
 In Camille" Nazimova has done for the silver screen what Bernhardt, Eleanora Duse, Clara Morris, Olga Nethersole and Ethel Barrymore did for the stage. These artists won fame for their interpretation of the role of Camille" Nazimova, no less than they, has endowed the part with charm and power.
 Local picturegoers will not miss this picture. It is rarely that such a masterpiece is seen, seldom that great drama and great actress are. united And after seeing the picture, one, easily understands the statement that it is one of the fin est of the finest love stories of all times, and that the play still thrills and delights, seventy years after being produced in Paris.
 Nazimova has the role of Camille, the woman of the underworld whom the love of law student lifts to heights of devotion and sacrifice, and who returns to her showy, pitiful life upon learning that her sweetheart has abandoned his career for her sake. It is a poignant tragedy that will not fail to hold interest until the very end.
