as cneck girl in a downtown establish
heht. and she Is run over by a motor
car driven by a wealthy woman. who
llVes with her brother in one of the
cIiys finest residences. The woman
takes the victim home with her and
surrounds her with luxury. And SO
we nave the beginning of a romance.
But as is the way with all stories. the
course of true love does not run smooth
ly, and Bessie MacGregor learns that
man may tell a woman he loves her
anu then with excuse that he has a
BUSINESS engagement with a man, go
OUT ana spend an evening making love
20 another woman. 1t is a shock that
shatters her faith. wrecks her happi-
ness ana. finally. her health. Her dis
appearance brings realization to J. War
burton Ashe that he loves her So he
take up travel as an antidote for his
own crushed heart, and while on a hunt
ing trip abroad finds an ancient and
much tarnished chalice. which later de-
Holy Grail.
Introduction of this element affords
opportunity for an interlude outlining
Iennyson's beautiful story of the
search for the cup used by the Christ
at the Last supper This part of the
picture is done in color photography
with striking effect Twice the cup is
stolen by the notorious Tony Pantelli
Dut the theft each time was for a mo-
tive higher than Tony himself could
realize, for somehow Bessie Mac
Gregor, who has come to be a sort
OF proteee of Tony's, had touched his
heartStrings and 1t was to help her
that this particular crime was COM
mitted. How the chalice creates a
sensation after its first theft and
restoration to the owner and how its
second theft leads to the discovery
or Bessie MacGregor and the reunion
or the lovers makes an interesting
story with a happy endine-save for
Tony. One wishes he might have been
given richer reward for his devo-
tion to Bessie.
Mermaid comedy, Pest of the

ANIMAL REST

DESCRIBED

Editor, The Warrington Times:
Y WAS forcibly reminded on my
visit Sunday to the BE Kind
n to Animals Rest Farm" In
Montgomery county, where the
Humane Education Society was
entertaining their friends who
had come to talk to and pet the
animal waits OF our city, that
the little word LOVE, which is
being analysed in one OF our
newspapers, was paramount.
Many OF the dogs have been
found straying through the streets
and they are now enjoying a COM
Portable home and sufficient food.
But how they welcomed the many
visitors, hoping, no doubt, to find
some old friend.
One came to me, put his little
head through the wire and with
an effort looked up in my face
with such a human expression
and sadness-when finding no
recognition. Then the felines
were very polite and happy in the
caresses received.

The Animal Rest Farm was a
study Of the human heart. Sounds
strange? Well, we're all allied.
Even the resplendent colorings
of our noble trees, like sentinels
surrounding the many acres, in

paraded It above all else as the
standard Of the Humane Educa-
ton Society for the preservation
of life.
Many sick horses have regained
health there and are grateful for
the attention received. All ami

If we gave more study to our

LUCY LOWELL DEFENDS GIRLS
HIKING TOGS

They Make for Health and Permit Keener Enjoyment

" HEY stood at the roadside
with the tall grasses, scared
- a bit by frost, about their
feet and the turning leaves that
frightened the rolling country
side at their backs-the group Of
girls-awaiting the coming OF the
great lady.
Sparkling eyes, the charm Of
good humor, freshness OF youth
and well-being were their only
claims to feminine charm as they
waited-rigged out, as they were,
in the wooden hose and Knockers
and unornamental shirts Of camp
life.
Not that they cared-or even
knew! A sincere, Warm.hearted
lot, willing to offer good will
and to receive 1t.
There was a pl1rring OF motors
and the great lady with her party
came along. An unassuming
great lady, but one to whom age
had brought experience-though
not tolerance, as It afterward de-
veloped--and who supposedly had
enjoyed the broadening advan-
tages Of great wealth.
The girls crowded r0uno, greet
ing her with cheer, begging her
autograph.
But the great lady drew her
skirts together and looked upon
them with disdain. Hen auto
graph? Certainly not! And right
there, before the members of her
party and others who had gath
cred to see and hear, she advised
them to move away as fast as
they could and not be seen again
until they had put on dresses.
She implied that their camping
trousers were disgraceful. She
indicated that she would have no
truck with women so shameless
as to admit having legs!
You may picture the smiles
fading from the faces Of the girls,

" WO centuries ago the women
Of the people were as ambi-
tious as they are today.
Prayed ends of events long past
tell of the longing for achieve
ment that burned in the hearts OF
those women whose names never
survived the years.
Yet their sphere of activity was
SO circumscribed that almost never
was one OF their number able to
rise above the others excepting
through pure accident of fate
that of becoming the mother of a
spectacular son.
Thus it is only because of her
motherhood that the name Of Le-
titia Ramolino, the marvelously
beautiful daughter of a neither
wealthy nor noble family of Ajac-
clio, Corsica, is known and held in
the light Of romance today.
Letitia Ramolino became the
mother Of the great Napoleon
Bonaparte. and through his
achievements she later became the
famous Mime. Mere, of Paris, after
the French Empire was estnb-
lished.
1t was In the tiny town of her
birth, when she was a girl of fiji
teen, that Letitia met the son of
an influential family, Charles Marie
de Bonaparte. He was eighteen
and descendant of a family that
had every right to place the "de"

title OF nobility from the Genoese
Republic had been granted the
