AT THE LIBERTY

Once again Rod La Rocque has given a characterization way above the average. Like "Braveheart" which we had not long ago, this is logical tale besides being a thriller It is the ideal movie, fast action, much feeling, beautiful sentiment, cowardice and bravery. Unusual, in that it has no fight scenes, and yet, has an extra gripping climax when the supposed coward proves himself hero.
 There are practically no love or passion exhibitions, and yet the finest type of 1ove-a girl for man -is vividly shown in a beautiful way.
 Everybody who saw it were charmed.
 And "Our Gang" Were at their best in the two reel comedy.

Mark Burton returns from abroad
because OF q letter received from
Mdude Maynard the aunt Of his
iUdrd. JessicG Bartlett. JeSsicd is
about TO inherit the principal of her
fathers estate and Mdude is afraid
that fortune hunter named RAN
mond TOlCnley is preying on her ar
fections. Although he is Interested
IN another 1comdn, Mark drops his
affairs to attend to Jessicd'S. He dis
coUerS that Ray Totcnley is thor
ough rotter, and after JeSSicd has
announced her engagement, tries to
reason 1Oitb her. They quarrel. Then
Aunt Mdude comes to the fore and
suggests that he carry Jessicd off.
At first Mark ridicMles the idea. but
finally accepts it, He makes plans to
take her to his hunting shack in the
ShdtCdngunb Mountains. An older
tconldn named Mrs. Morse is to act
as chdperOn and housekeeper. Jessica
tcdtEs into the trap by suggesting
that Mark shotC her his place He
drives her up there, and the truth

CHAPTER XXXH.
Mark Makes a Suggestion.

Breakfast consisted of very good
coffee made by Mrs. Morse, baking
powder biscuits, light and feathery,
and bacon. There was butter, but
Jessica tasted it and decided she
didn't like the flavor. 1t had come
out of a can. Her coffee she drank
black, as there was only condensed
milk to put in it, She sighed when
she thought of the thick cream she
had at home, but she did not COM
plain.
During the meal neither of them
said very much, although Mark was
quietly observing her. She looked SO
different this morning. Like a straight,
slim boy with her sleek little head still
damp from her bath. The simple out
fit was very becoming to her, too lie
wondered vaguely what was going on
in her mind and how she intended to
behave. He had an idea that she
might not make a bad companion un-
less she chose to be perverse.
After a second cup of coffee he
leaned back in his chair and lighted
his pipe. Jessica watched him smoke.
She was dying for a cigarette. but she
had none of her own and hated to ask
him for one. After while. however,
SIe cOuIun resist any longer.
Have you any cigarettes"
Instantly he sprang to his feet.
"Why, yes, of course. l bought a
couple of tins of them on the way up.
What kind do you usually smoke? I'm
afraid these are not very good"
He brought her the round tin box
and lighted her cigarette. Jessica, like
most youngsters of the present period.
deSpised good cigarettes. OF course,
she had her own brand of the cheaper
ones, but she could smoke with enjoy

the ground tone. The bodice may be
of plaid with plain skirt, though the
usual way is to follow the traditional
Scotch method and make the kilt of
the plaid with the bodice of a plain
tone.
Some. of the new plaid silks may be
used with excellent effect to provide
trimming to dark -colored frocks. Pip

silk. facings and strappings of plaid
give the desirable touch of color to
navy blue or black for Spring. At
Southern resorts there have been
seen, here and there, handbags of gay
plaid. providing the only touch of color
in an otherwise dark or neutral cos
tune.
To wear with the new dark -colored
suits or tailored frocks there are
scarfs of wide plaid ribbon, and these
are sometimes finished with fringe
made from the raveled ends of the
ribbon knotted at regular intervals.
When the ribbon is heavy the fringe
is quite effective.

WINTER
Cinerarias.

OF all the newcomers in the florists
windows, the most respondent Win
ter flower is the cineraria, which has
been popularity and most appropriate
ly dubbed South African daisy, for
from that opulent cape. that gave us
the gladiolus, came these marvellous
blue and white and pink pot plants
1t is the very deep blue varieties that
have caused thousands of people
every day to stop in at a florists shop
and ask the name of that marvellous
flower. Blue, a clear blue, free of red
and violet, is rather rare in the
flower world, and when 1t occurs it
is generally in the very pale sl1y-blue
shades of the Borage family-as in
forget-me- A clear blue of deep
tone is rarer still, but the cinerarias
have it.
The name cineraria means ashen
and refers to the beautiful neutral
background of the gray foliage. In
one of those seismic shake-ups which
occur in botany every so often, the.
name cineraria, as a generic term. was
discovered to apply only to a certain
limited group of plantS-Which did
not include the florists and our Gin
eraria at all, which turns out to be
technically a species of senecio, that
gigantic and Respondent genus, larg-
est of all the genera of the largest
and most gorgeous of all plant fam
lilies, the composite or daisy family
So it is no disgrace to this wonder
full pot plant to be transferred into the
regal company of the senecios: but
the name cineraria will probably
stick" both popularity and in the
trade.
Cinerarias often go to seed in the
house. And when they do. it seems
but natural to save the seed, espe-
cially as the potted plants are expen.
sive. But the experiment is seldom
fruitful, since the florists plants are
largely unstable hybrids which, in the
second and third generations, begin
to revert to the more weedy and blousy
types of the wild parents of the fine
greenhouse hybrids.
In any case it is severe struggle
to pull the seedlings through their fin
icky infancy, and all in all, cinerarias
are like automobiles; it is cheaper to
buy a new one than struggle with an
old one which is deteriorating.

Giving Him Try-out.
By MIMI.

We have spoken often Of the cruelty
which seems to form a part of many
/ girls makeup.
| Cruelty is an unpleasant word-it
| isn't pleasant to think that SO many
girls possess it, yet we are constantly
| running across it in new forms, mas
ouerading under various names.
Recently we have seen an example
of cruelty calling itself "judicious
thought"
The fair young thing who pra cticed
her. form of brutality assured me in
all seriousness that she was but CIV
ing certain matter 'judicious
| thought" and if, in the doing thereof.
she hurt some one terribly-well, that
was too bad, but it couldn't be helped.
Her name is Frances and she prides
herself on being most reasonable
and fair-minded young person.
She is so fair-minded she stops at
nothing in her endeavor to reach the
truth of things.
She wanted to know the truth about
her feelings for Donald. Frankly she
had often told me she didn't give a
rap about him-he bored her. left her
cold, utterly failed to interest her.
But Donald's logged devotion did
not lessen. Rather it increased. And
When ne nnally asked HSF 10 marry
him Frances hesitated.
Now she told me afterward she hest
tated because she wanted to be fair
and to give the mater judicious
thought.
She assured me that her intentions
were of the best. But / can hardly
credit that story.
am just enough of a cynic to be-
lieve that Frances was having rather
a dull season--that her invitations
were few and far between, her pro.
posals nonresident, and her general
social program very dull.
And l suppose she hated to see
Donald go forever. She hated to turn
him away with a final refusal
So she gave him what she calmly
called a 'try-out." She told him that
she would be engaged to hinl-and
added that if everything went we'll
during their engagement, wedding
bells would be in order.
Can you imagine Dorald's state of
mind? He was idiotically radiant, for,
of course, she told him nothing about
the try-out idea. .''''', .''
1t would have endangered the whole
plan, she assured me gravely, to have
let him know that he was only on
probation. She wanted to try him
out-see just how he acted as an
engaged mana happy engaged man
before she let him know just where
he stood.
And for six months that miserable
boy was happy--while Frances. know
ing full we'll all the time that she
could never love him, pretended to
be the sweet. adoring, young fancee.
At the end of that time his suffering
was too keen to be described. and
Frances bland complacence as she
gave him the air was too utterly con-
temptible to be dealt with in printable
language. There is no cruelty like
that of trying out some unfortunate
boy who loves you and who trusts you
when YOU say ''Yes"-vou will marry
him. There is no justification for such
cruelty, and there is nothing strong
enough to be said against it.
Mimi will be glad to answer any inquiries
directed to this paper. provided a stamped
addressed envelope is inclosed.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. f. +. j. writes: 81 happened
to see your articles about pyloric
stenosis and now / am sure that it
what was the matter with my small
baby who could hold no food upon
his STOMACH until he was past month
old and then was started on farina and
thrived well. He is now 4 years old
Could you tell me what causes this
trouble and if it Isl followed by con-
stipation? My boy is now taking
plain agar, which does not upset him.
Il have a lot of trouble getting him
to eat vegetables and his appetite gen.
orally is none too good. Can you sug
gest something? l have just started
to give him cod liver OIL"
Answer.--Pyloric stenosis is a con-
genital malformation of the pylorus
which makes it difficult for food to
pass easily from the stomach into the
small intestine, because the pylorus
is too small. Instead of going into
the intestine it churns around and
around and the constant irritation to
the stomach and the stomach muscles
finally ends in vomiting. which tends
to become explosive. The child actu-
ally starves to death though his abil-
ity to digest the food he eats may be
all right. Enlarging the pyIorus by
an operation or by forcing a larger
opening by the continued use of thick
foods, which are not so easily vom-
tied, also brings about a cure
IT is very possible that the pylorus
is still smaller than it should be-
though the child's poor appetite and
indigestion of insufficient food is more
than likely the cause of the constipa-
ton. / should stimulate the appetite
by fruit juices and cod liver oil and
try and force more food at each meal
than he is accustomed to taking. until
the condition is cured. In the mean
time, the agar offers bulk that is help

your 15-month-old baby would take a
nap during the day and / would man.
age some way to keep him quiet for
an hour or so even if he will not

the nap habit again. 1t is wise to give
all babies cod liver oil, especially in

not walking it would be ever more
necessary for him.
