my FRIEND THE DEVIL"
A William Fox Production with an
All Star Cast headed by CHARLES
RICHMAN. This is a screen version
OF George Ohnet's celebrated novel
DIR. Rameau," and is declared to be
a strong vital, dramatic story, story
that digs deep into the heart of mod
ern life and helps to lead us on, thru
its example, to the road of happiness
II is the story of great scientist who
is an unbeliever-a man who thinks
that science is greater than God; the
story of an unfaithful wife-with a
great climax in the discovery of the
unfaithfulness at the time his daughter
is to be married. Here we find the
house divided" wrecked, but from
the Wreckage comes a belief and a gen
tleness that is as soothing to the mind
of the viewer as the thrills of the pre-
vlous scenes were tense. 1t contains
every element necessary for real en-
tertalnnlent. Prices 10 and p cents

Ever since he was married. his mother has
carried lies to her son about his wife She
wanted his money again. for their family.
So the son left his wife and sued for divorce.
This little girl wife was pure and true. Do
you think they are going according TO the
Bible? II plainly says. IN Matthew. chapter
10; For THE cause shall a man leave
wife and the twain shall be one flesh.
What therefore Gcd hast Joined together let
no man put asunder" / wish you could
advise me how I could help this couple to
understand the Bible paore.

Go to the boy and try to show him
what he IS doing. I don't believe you
could do much with the mother You
might brighten her into leaving her
son and his wife alone. by threaten
ing to expose her to the members OF
her mission. Such methods are JUST
fable at times. 1t is even possible
that the woman might be made to
realize how hypocritical she is acting.
BUDDY: Sorry, but 1 cannot help
you. The responsibility would be too
great. Church would be the most
logical place for you to meet the kind
OF girl you desire to know.

on a picnic and this son asked me to marry
him. His mother seemed pleased. I told
him about this other boy and II hurt him
terribly. / know he loves me and / really
think he cares more than the other one.
Please tell me what TO do. I do not feel
as II I could give up the position. for I
think II would Sill me TO leave the baby.
BETTY RUTH.
AS you are not engaged, you could
accept attentions from both men. How
ever, II you feel sure the man you
now go with is the one you will al
ways love. It would be kinder TO the
other not to give him any encourage
ment. The family does not sound like
the sort that would make you give
up your position because you could

LETTER FROM MRS. JOSEPH
GRAVES HAMILTON TO
ALICE HAMILTON
M DEAR DAUGHTER;

MY DEAR DAUGHTER:
I am sending this letter by Karl
to you and he will be able to answer
all the questions about Leslie that
you will ask.
Leslie, my dear, has not written
you because she has not been able to
write to any one.
Five weeks ago she had a bad
automobile accident and since then
she has not been herself in mind or
body. I have been with her all the
time and your father has been here
almost every week. She seems to be
getting better physically, but her
mind is not normal. She just lies in
bed. the most patient and sweetest
girl you have ever known, but she
takes no interest in anything or in
anybody. She does exactly as we tell
her, but nothing on her own initia-
tive.
On account of the accident she lost
her baby, and this is what is prey
ing on her mind.
Poor Jack is almost beside himself
have never seen greater devotion
she does not seem to mind whether
he is with her or not, and it is break
ing his heart.
My dear child, you must not be
too ''slangy' among those English
folks. I do not blame that young
Engnshman for thinking you are a
Hopper" as he called it. You know
that you do not act that way at
home. OF course, can see with
your exuberant spirits what a temp
tation it would be to shock the staid
minds OF the English people you
meet, but I hope you will not be too
hoydnish, for remember that you
have a duty to your country to per-
form. You must not allow the Eng
fish men and women to think that
our American girls are one whit be-
hind their own in refinement and
breeding.
The other day Leslie had a little
flicker of interest. 1t was when I
told her that Karl was sailing this
week. She said she wished 1 would
get those pearl beads that you gave
her when she was married and send
them over to you by Karl. She re-
marked she would probably not wear
them for a long time and that they
would be so beautiful on you. I was
delighted that she had this interest
in something, and greatly dis
appointed when, the next day, she
seemed to have forgotten all about
her request.
However. when Karl comes I am
going to suggest that he take the
