FILIAL iPIETY

BY virtue of the pledge he had
given, Don Diego de Espinosa en-
ioyed the freedom of the ship that
had been his, and the navigation
which he had undertaken was left
entirely in his hands. He took his
meals in the great cabin with
Blood and the three officers elect,
ed to support him: Hagthorpe.

That Don Diego was not playing
fair it was impossible to suspect.
Moreover, there, was no conceiva

to them their position, 1--WE should

his best suit OF clothes step into
the cabin. The suit paused to
close the door, then advanced
toward the couch on which Don
Diego was extended, and inside the
suit came tall slender gentle
man Of about Don Diego's own
height and shape. Seeing the wide,
startled eyes of the Spaniard upon
him, the gentleman heightened his
stride.
Awake, eh?" said he in Spanish.

Your son is safe; he and the

couch, his gllttering dark eyes

with the fortitude of fatalist. The
light blue eyes played over him
like points Of steel.

5rI THEATRES:
FRENCH WOMEN LESS
BEAUTIFUL THAN OURS

According to Alma Reubens,
featured with Lionel Barrymore in
Cosmopolitan's picturization OF
Vicente Blasco Ibanez's story, EN-
enies Of Women, the American
woman is for more beautiful of
face form and even feet than the
French woman.
But the French woman is more
beautiful from neck to hips than
her American rival.
Miss Rubens, during the stay of
the Co5mospolitan company N Par
is while filming scenes for this lat
est Ibanez film, gave constant study
to the feminine types about her.
She visited the famous cafes, tie
play places of note and met many
Of the fine French people Of Paris.
She observed them all with that
concentration and appraisal that
beautiful woman gives other wo-
men who are quoted as distinguish
ed in any way. And she drew con-
cIusions.
According to Miss Rubens, the
French women are gorgeously
smart and possessed of wonderful
bodies from the shoulders to the
hips. The body lines surpass the
same lines in our native femininity
and right here Miss Rubens cites the
reason. Our girls have a modest
little habit Of binding in their tor
SOS, fastening, pulling, pinning,-
until THAR figures attain that
straight up and down look Of boys.
1t is a fashion suited to The popular
sport clothes OF the flapper. It is
a figure that furnished flat, non
skid surface for the draping of tae
sprightly sport scarf. But-with
maturity, it is also responsible for
womanhood's too frequently lacking
the most beautiful curves of the
feminine figure. It is this partic-
ular difference between American
and French figures that is the rub
when an American steps into a
French frock, according to Miss
Rubens. 1t is like encasirg
