rather fattish neighbor' of mine for year and a half She dresses ex- quisitely, and while I know that she is fattish I am never unpleas- antly conscious of the fact. She goes out every day with a little person I suppose is her daughter and she wears dark brown or sometimes a lighter shade of the same tone. Her dresses and suits are all cut much on the same line. Undoubtedly she is a clever woman and has discovered that this particular tone suits her complexion and this particular cut her figure. How sensible she is never to try and vary either. She will never show her size for she has studied herself and knows what style and color is for her.
 It takes self-control, know, not to be tempted to buy something that we admire without considering how we will look in it. But I am sure we are repaid in the end.
 The Safeness of Black.
 In my opinion one is never badly dressed when in black. A black dress seems to adapt itself to every occa- sion and to every mood of the wearer. Color. brilliant pure color. can be very beautiful, but it must be chosen with great care and con sideration of ones complexion. To my mind it never looks well on the street and is only permissible in the evening. Also, unless one has large wardrobe. it seems a mistake. The black dress seems to understand ones very mood and never gets on our own or other peoples nerves. But take orange, for instance, or crimson; it not only is so noticeable that the wearer as well as the ob- server tires of it when worn too fre- quently, but a color as bright as either of these can only be worn when our mood coincides.
 Of course, colors are not only per missible but charming in the country. either in sport clothes or in dresses.

the same thing and will result in the act which was conceived in your mind. It is well, therefore, to be careful what you think lest you think the wrong thoughts and you yourself end in oblivion. There are many cases where the doctors are mysti- fled when a patient dies. The chances are death came as a result of wrong thinking, commonly called worry.

But even then the more pastel shades are, I think, prettier and certainly cooler in appearance. I think it Is safe to say, however that the stout woman should invariably confine herself to black or pale shades; and what lovely choice she has among grays. tans and mauves. 1 have come to admire more and more the French appreciation of black. Black is the color for the thin woman as well as the most flattering one for the fat woman.

member since she was thirteen
years old. Six of her girl friends were
her pallbearers. The floral tributes

SAFETY LAST AT THE PLAZA
Crowd Thrilled When Lloyd Perform
ed Climb

Wherever Safety Last" Harold
Lloyd's latest feature comedy for
Pathe is shown, it unquestionably will
win the applause of the entire audi
ence. But even the most enthusiastic
applause can't compare with the
cheering of the crowd that witnessed
the filming of the climb in Safety
Last" Somehow the news got about
that the famous comedian was to use
the Bank of Italy building az the cor
ner of First and Spring streets in Los
Angeles to film a scene for one of his
forthcoming productions. Three hours
before the comedian arrived, the
streets around the tall building were
crowded with admirers of the star.
When Harold appeared on the scene,
he was noisily welcomed, and as the
directors and cameramen made their
preparations, the crowd settled down,
expecting to see the filming of COM
ic street scene.
They saw, instead, one of the most
daring stunts ever performed for the
camera. AS Harold cOntiued his
climb, the huge audience showed its
appreciation by breathless interest,
applauding now and then at some es-
pecially reckless performance by the
star, but, on the whole, watching the
comedian in tense admiration. When
the climb was finally completed the
crowd relaxed into a veritable ova-
tion, and the gratifying demonstration
when Harold Lloyd stepped into his
car to leave, surely must have been
some compensation for the long hours
of tedious training necessary to per-
form the clever feats in safety Last. "

human story of the rounds of New

the arms of a veteran old salt from
the deck of sinking liner. Unable
to find her parents the old man
adopts her and cares for her until his
death when she is left penniless to
fight her own battles. "Rose O. the

name by Countess Barcynska. Fred
Niblo directed and cast includes, in
addition to the star, Rudolph Cameron,
Thomas Holding, Margaret Lands,
Kate Lester, Hallom Cooley, John P.
