Edwin August, noted screen direc-
tor, who is touring the country
searching for recruits for the ranks
of the movie world, continues to draw
headline honors at Loew's BiJou thea
tire. Although Mr.. August appeared
at the Bijou the first half of the
week, the second half of the week
finds him attracting even more at
tention and drawing greater applause.
Real moving pictures are taken of
those who care to have test pic
lures" made and these will be shown
at the Bijou all next week. Over
1900 feet of film have already been
taken of prospective Birmingham
stars.

The Pickfords open the bill with an.
acrobatic act that is considerably
above the average. Besides doing
many ground tumbling stunts of great
difficulty they prove to be jugglers

BEDTIME STORIES
By Thornton
W. Burgess.

From where he was Danny couldn't
tell whether or not this old log was
hollow. He was tired. He wanted "a
safe place IN which to curl up and
take a nap. If that log was hollow
1T would be just the place. The only
thing he didn't like about it was
the fact that 1t lay right out in the
open.
SO Danny sat right where he was.
hidden under some broad leaves. and
tried to get up courage enough to
run over and have good look at
that old log. But he didn't know
what sharp eyes might be watching
him. And so he couldn't quite make
up his mind to take a chance.
1t was a queer-looking log. 1t was
very big in the middle and near the
larger end had what looked like two
stubs Of branches, one on each side.
Further back were two more. and
then that log became smaller ami
smaller until it ended in what locke ed
like sharp point. 1t was brown,
and seemed to be covered with n
rough bark. The longer he looked at it
the more Danny wanted to see it closer.
Presently Danny noticed two other
old logs floating in the water. Now.
where did those come from?" NUT
tered Danny to himself. "I don't re-
member seeing them when ] first
arrived. OF course, they must have
been there. ] guess ] didn't really
look at the water or ! would have
seen them. How peaceful It is!
arrived to be suspicious Of I'm
sleepy and if there is a hollow in

lustrous pearl appearing here and

OF course, there are many adorable
garlandS of leaves and flowers offered
by the shops for those who prefer
them, while wide bands of jeweled
metal cloth and tiaras of brilliants
form a fashion stepping stone from
the girlish pastel wreaths to the
elaborate evening hats. Combs are
also shown in an amazing variety OF
colors and shapes. from those of pale
carved ivory through range of many

An unusual fan, which would be an

minutive figures in the design are
painted on a second piece of net. cut
out and then appliqued on the fan
background. while the remainder Of
the design is lightly brushed in
around them.
The evening wrap illustrated has
the merit of being both beautiful and
different from the average. To be-
gin its description at the top. it is
collared in soft fox fur, dyed an
inky black. Below this is long
blouselike drapery of silver-threaded
fabric. which shades from delicate
lavender at the shoulders to deep
violet at the lower edge. The skirt
part of the wrap is of rich purple
chiffon velvet, lightly shirred just
below the line where it joins the
blouse.
Another effective evening cloak is
Of sapphire blue velvet. with an in
tricate pattern embroidered on the
beads. At first glance it seems that
the entire wrap is woven of scintfl
lating brilliants, for they are con-
spicuous on the rich velvet surface
at each side. Wide Japanese sleeves,
half velvet, half silver cloth and a
holster collar add the finishing
touches.
The dance frock sketched is of
light orchid chiffon embroidered with
silver flowers. The bloused bodice
has diminutive rufties of silver lace
that give a suggestion of sleeves. and
rounded neck edged with cording.
The skirt is gathered with ruff1ed
heading to a wide Egyptian girdle
of silver ribbon and 1T wells
straight foundation bordered in sill
yer lace. A round clasp of pearls
and rhinestones holds the girdle in
place at the center front, accenting

This is small or medium sized
tree of southern Europe and of
southern and eastern Asia, called
Christ's thorn, though this name is
more properly applied to another
species of the same genus which Is
supposed by some to have furnished
the crown Of thorns that was placed
on the head of Christ before his
crucifixion. a small prickly tree of
north Africa and western Asia, Zizy-
phus Spina-Christi. But this is
little more that q surmise. There
is another small prickly tree native
to the same country which is COM

10 De married. There is no other boy
whom / care for, and If you don't
think it foolish to waste all my time
on this very nice young man, ] should
be content to wait. SHIRLEY.
Answer: A long engagement is
generally losing investment OF time
and affection for the woman, Shirley.
and this is especially true when she
engages herself to a boy. This lad
to whom you are engaged will be a
very different person eight years
hence. BY that time he Will have
developed from a boy into man.
He will have had all the broadening
experiences of college and new
associations.
Perhaps II will have changed him
so much that he will no longer love
you. Perhaps 1t will make him into
the kind of man who will not appeal
to you. So 1T seems to me a very
foolish thing for you two to bind
yourselves to do something that you
may not want to do eight years from
now.
SO why not just be good friends
without either one mortgaging his
or her future? If your affection
take each other for better or worse
