It's natural for young woman to
regard her wedding day as the most
important of her life. and to wish to
observe it accordingly. But in all

selection of the trosseau or plans for
a church ceremony, she should re-
member that garish ostentation is ex-
tremely bad taste. Studied simplicity

trio dancing. a couple OF clever come

a locomotive to rescue the people OF
the village, and the whole village is
burned In subsequent scene. This
little town was built bv the vitagraph
company In secluded place SO that
there would De no danger of the
flames spreading. Warner Baxter
himself did not escape danger for he
actually drove a locomotive through
furnace of burning TIMBER, The
heat scorched his hair and at times
1t seemed as though he would be
burned before he could get out of the
seething, swirling mass of flames. But
all this adds to the intense realism
of the picture. a
On Sunday night Earl Williams in
1.-The Silver Car" semi-society
drama with an element of mystery,
