MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLY MERRICK.

To be very frank, they tell it on
Marie Provost, who bowed to herself,
thinking she was Phyllis Haver. This
during the first day the white henna
took effect.
Interior decorators have a fine time
matching houses to suit heads. 1t

has her bedroom done in green and
white now that she is blond.
Green and orchid boudoirs seem to
be favoriteS with the movie stars. Mar

othy Dwan and Norma Talmadge az
feet this color combination.
Dorothy Mackaill has pale gray and
green in her bedroom. She is an ash
blond, very slim and very much tanned
this season. Such an effect should be
highly becoming.
Wouldn't you just know that Elinor
Glyn would have pale yellowish green
and apricot in her sleeping quarters!
Elinor believes in the efficacy of color
auras, in love at first sight-and second
and third, if her stories are to be be-
lieved.
She has given Clara Bow the tag Of
the 1T" girl, which has brought her
more letters than any other star in
picture history has ever received. She
has contributed more dizzy screen
names to dizzy stories than any fiction
list who ever came to Hollywood. Yet
in private life she is a rather old-fash-
Toned mother.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Sunday, September 16.

Benefic aspects dominate tomorrow,
according to astrology. which finds in
the horoscope much to cheer and en-
courage jewellers on the planet Earth
The rule is most favorable to the
clergy, and especially to those OF high
rank who have become leaders OF the
people.
Under this direction of the stars
there may be a deepening of feeling
that accents prejudice and increases
loyalty to sects or denominations.
There Is a sign supposed to Stlmu-
late faith into fanaticism, and for this
reason there is likely to be ultimately
much gain from the Autumn's religious
efforts along many diverse lines OF
thought.
Women come into their own at this
time, when they will render splendid
public service, while at the same time
they excel in all the feminine arts.
Astrologers predict that in the reac-
tionary movement already evident
women will gain in charm, and will en-
Joy much of the old-time reverence that
preceded modern progress.
Lovemaking will flourish under this
direction of the stars, under which even
plain girls will seem to be beautiful.
This is read as a lucky rule for en-
gagements, and even for weddings. 1t
is foretold that many marriages will be
celebrated on Sundays, since pomp and
ceremony will become less common than
formerly.
Music is subject to the best possible
planetary influences, and the coming
season of opera will awaken unprece-
denied interest, it is forecast.
According to ancient lore, tomorrow
should be lucky Gay for wearing new
clothing, and it is likely to be becoming.
Hospitality is well directed tomorrow,
when dinners and other social events
should be especially successful
Astrologers promise closer relation
ship with South America, which will be.
connected by airplane lines and long
distance telephones.
Peace movements Should flourish at
this time, when there will be the para
dox of growing horror of war and added
danger of conflict in other lands.
Persons whose birth date Is tomorrow
have the augury of much new interest
in life. There may be journeys that
bring money and new friends. These
subjects of Virgo usually know how to
make the most of life.
Children born tomorrow should be
successful through life.
They come into the world with high
aspirations, which they are generally
able to realize. They are naturally crit
ical and never satisfied with half way
achievements.

Cotton and Linen for Fall Wear

to be washed any sooner than silk
skirt would have to be sent to the
cleaners. With this was worn blouse
of fine cotton wolfe and over it hip
length Jacket of velveteen-which is, of
course. also cotton. If you have not seen
any of the new figured cotton foulards
you cannot guess how attractive they
are.
For a young girl who wishes to have
a number of attractive evening frocks
at small cost cannot urge too strongly
the use of some of the lovely light cot
ton fabrics which have been used so
successfully for evening frocks during
the Summer. Organdy in light pastel
tones makes frock that compares
favorably with the frock of tulle, and
there are some new dotted swisses with
metal threads that are as interesting as
any of the new silk materials.
The new lingerie from Paris is orna-
mented with little posies made from
pastel-colored ribbon. Nightgowns have
one at the front and one on each
shoulder. They are not hard to make
and need very little ribbon, so that the
cost is trif1ing. If you would like to
make some of these please send me a
stamped, self-addressed envelope, and 1
will send you directions and sketch at
once.

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

September Is, 1861.-There was a
continual exchange of shots today be-
tween Union and Confederate pickets
between Baileys Cross Roads and Mum
sons Hill, less than half dozen miles
outside of Alexandria, according to
word brought into this city. Two Of
the Confederate picketS apparently
we're killed, as they were seen to drop
to the ground and cease firing.
The plcketS edge up to each other
through the cornfieldS and along the
fence, and when they obtain the least
sign of each others presence they blaze
away. On each side, however, they
have learned to dodge the balls. Al
though this may seem incredible, it is
reported to be fact. They watch the
little puffs of smoke that arise at the
first discharge of the musketS of their
adversaries and jump aside quickly be-
fore the ball reaches them, or put them
selves behind some lmpenetrable OBJ
Struction.
The Michigan boys at this point COM
plain that they are not furnished with
efficient rifles while on advance picket
duty, declaring their best marksmen
are never sure of hitting twice in the
same place with the muskets they have,
more especially as the cartridges vary
so in the amount of powder, ETC.
Nevertheless, they say they have been
able to pick off some of the best Con-
federate sharpshooters.
With the exception of the fighting
between pickets, all is quiet around the
defense of Washington. The Confed-
crates do. not appear to be in any great
force at Munsons Hill and seem con-
tent to proceed with the fertilization
of the place. They have battery,
however, in the nursery by Munsons
house on the side of the hill.
There is no little chatting between
the opposing sentries when within ear
shot of each other. The following dia-
logue took place today:
Secesh: when are you coming up
to take the hill?"
Michigander: ooh, after you is man.
ners. When are you coming to take
the Capitol?"
Secesh: Reckon you don't like the

Answer am glad to welcome sug-
gestions from readers of this column. I
am wondering if your remedy should
be called effective" when you have
been obliged to repeat it at intervals
1or years. A real cure, such as an
operation, should rid you of the trouble
permanently. I think you are making
rather sweeping statement when YOU
say that such an operation sis never
satisfactory" Never" is long time!
The operation for severe bunions is a
panrul one, but is the only permanent
cure know of for bunions that have
passed beyond the stage when local
applications help. LOIS LEEDS.
