 T wonder if that doesn't depend on-what her business with you is" Connie murmured little poutingly.

a girl can't have everything.
 Since Marie Corelli is one of the generations most widely read writers it is hardly necessary to tell the story of "The Young Diana" The film has been produced on a most elaborate scale.
 The laboratory scene in which the midde-aged spinster is restored to youth and beauty through the appli- cation of condensed light energy is the best executed of its kind to be shown on the screen. It almost con- vinces the spectator that the energy of light is the elixir of youth and that it can be applied to the human body with better results than those obtained by gland operations.
 The most artistic settings for pho- tcplays now being made are those by Joseph Urban, who has executed the scenes for all Of the late vehicles of Marion Davies. The ice carnival scene in "The Young Diana" reaches su- perlative beauty in composition and in choreography of the ballet

New York. Sept 5.-Hired pursey- ors of praises of Marion Davies have referred to her so frequently as "the beautiful cosmopolitan star" that she has generally been accepted in that light, little consideration being given her ability to act.
 Indeed. until the present her abil- ity to act has deserved little consid- eration. She has been more or less a puppet, caparisoned in gilt and fringe, posing before the camera for close-ups as seriously and as ineX- pressively as a wax doll, obeying the director in opening or closing her eyes as faithfully as a doll obeys it's little mother when she reclines it to make it ''go to sleep"
 However, in all fairness to Miss Davies, 1t must be recorded that she does act in "The Young Diana She invests her screen character with a realism that is due solely to her per ception of the emotions expected of the characetr.
 Perhaps the best indication that Miss Davies has acting ability is that dpoH SeNeldl OCCdSiouo III Iiie mn she forgot she was beautiful. She pouted and twisted her features into expressions of anger. She was really attractive then.
 In one scene of The Young Diana" Miss Davies turns her back upon the camera. That back hadn't a thread upon it, This may have been done with the idea that Miss Davies hack as well as her face, is beauti- ful. It may have been done with the idea that she is only human, after all. Few girls with perfect features have perfect backs Probably be- cause they pay so much attention to their features they forget their car riage. But good gracious, Annabelle,

T don't mean that" Jimmy Rab bit told her.
 Then what have you in mind 9 she asked.
 It's simple enough" he replied When I'm disturbed by any noise, stuff my ears with cotton"
 "A fine ideal" cried Henrietta Hen For the first time during their talk she seemed cheerful And thanking Jimmy Rabbit for his help, she hur- ried off to tell the Rooster what she intended to do.
 He listened to her for half an hour while she talked steadily. And when she had finished he yawned.
 That's fine idea he remarked. There's only one trouble with it. Where are you going to get your cot ton?"
 Why, I hadn't thought of that, /" Henrietta faltered. Where do you suppose Jimmy Rabbit got his?"
 of his tail, of course" the Rooster grunted. He's Cotton-tail, you know"
 "I'll ask him for bit of cotton, !" Henrietta Hen exclaimed. "No doubt he'll be glad to give me some" And she hurried back to the garden.
 But when she asked him, Jimmy Rabbit said he was sorry. He said he He said if it was any smaller, the neighbors would make fun of him.
 Well, Henrietta Hen was glummer than ever after that. She went about the farm telling her troubles to every body that would listen to her.
 AS for the Rooster he took pai.- to keep out of her sight He had al- ready heard far too much of Her diff faculties He dodged Henrietta all the rest Of that day And he was dreading the time when evening should come and he would have to go inside the henhouse to roost, where he couldn't escape her con- plaints until she fell asleep.

 Whats the matter with her now ?" Turkey Proudfoot inquired.
 The Rooster told him: Henrietta had no cotton with which to stuff her ears"
 Huh" cried Turkey Proudfoot. If she had any cotton. how could she stuff her ears with it?" Where are Henrietta Hens ears? Ask her that I've never seen 'em."
 With whoop the Rooster rushed 70 the other side of the farmyard. where Henrietta Hen was boring some of her friends with her sad, sad story.
 Henrietta, Henrietta" the RooaNr iqualled. Where are your ears?" i
 Henrietta Hen spun around and abbed him with her bill

 Now, the Rooster hadn't expected 'uch a warm greeting. He turned all and ran around the barn, with Henrietta scurring after him.
 She has caught him." said the leighbors presently, as piercing 'creech from the Rooster broke the jilence.
 After while Henrietta returned llone.

Herman Heinze, was an artist miserably
futile at commerce.
1t is fair enough to say that whatever
else Heinze's flying machine lacked. 1t was
guiltless of lack of originality. Nothing
quite like 1t has been seen. never saw 1t
fly, inasmuch as my acquaintance with 1t
was limited to the plans and its picture,
drawn Of course, by its inventor.
AS far as was able to discern It performed
on the principle Of all helicopters--a Tying
machine sustained and propelled by one or
more air screws on vertical axes. Her
mans had four screws. The pilot sat on
high seat manipulating two levers. There
was nothing of the machine over his head.
There was nothing Immediately in front of
him, nor in back of him, nor on either side
of him. 1t was as though he was sitting
on top of f1agpole viewing grandeur. All
the driving and sustaining apparatus was
beneath him.
The picture suggested a blithe. bewhis-
kered citizen riding through space on col

Do not misunderstood me. Herman was
no nut He had little too much imagina-
tfon, perhaps, and it is likely his fancies
governed him. But there was no crack in
his brain that shouldn't have been there.
He was as sane as bookkeeper.
However, his flying mchine failed Of sue
cess like his opera and his aluminium port
able bridge. He failed to interest moneyed
folk and therefore lacked the money to
build the machine shop and hangers neces-
sary to the building and experimenting.
AS you will see in a moment, Herman
lacked nothing but money.
Later on he told us that had his opera
not been a decade or so ahead of its time
it would have made much money for him
and he would have been highly respected
composer, excused for personal and minor
infractions of the law on the grounds Of
temperament In other words, had he
gained the appreciation due him all would
have been well and Sing Sing would never
have known him. The same reasoning he
applied to his bridge.
