A slight error, a trivial n1iscalcula-
ton or momentary mental lapse has
changed the pages of history and the
contour of the map. Battles have been
won or lost because of some apparently
inconsequential factor not considered
in the war schemes. TrivialitieS have
indeed dethroned monarchs and
wrecked romances. A few days ago an
error on the part of hotel telephone
operator almost caused the breaking up
of a friendship and the failure of a man
to keep an important business engage
ment. And here's how
The Washingtonian, resident of a
local hotel, arose in the morning and
looked at his watch, which said IL

the timepiece was correct, he called the
hotel operator and inquired the time.
An agreeable voice replied, Ten,
seven" What time?" he repeated
Seven minutes after ten," said the
operator. The gentleman adjusted his
watch and heaved a sigh of relief that
he had an hour in which to attend to
some extra business. He had an en-
gagement at l o'clock to meet two
friends and drive them to country
club for luncheon at 1870.

Cubby Bear was a very puzzled Bear.
He was so. He had had new expert
ence in life. He had met stranger,
chased him up tree, shaken him out
of the tree and the stranger had ap-
parently been killed by the fall. Any
way, Cubby thought he had, for the
stranger had to every appearance been
dead.
Il don't understand it." Cubby kept
saying over and over to himself. Il
don't understand it. A fall like that
wouldn't hurt anybody. I don't under

said Bobby Coon. whom Cubby CHANGED

Cubby.

eyes still twinkling

turning around. you follow me and
I'll show him to you"
So Cubby led the way back. with
Bobby Coon following him. Bobby was
having hard work not to chuckle out
loud. Pretty soon they reached the
place where Cubby mad left the dead

was on Cubby's face when he discov-

fell right down here Somebody must
have come along and carried him off. /"
IF that's the case you should be
able to find their scent" said Bobby.
Cubby began to sniff around. but all
the scent he could find was the scent
Of the mysterious stranger. Curiously
enough. that scent led away from that
spot. He looked around at Bobby Coon.
Bobby was In broad grin. Sammy
Jay came along just then. What are
you grinning at?" demanded Sammy.
Bobby told him what Cubby had told
him and Sammy began to laugh. Then

or so ago when the telephone rang.

the long -distance operator.
In a moment a voice came on the
wire:
This is Alfred Williams, and want
job in pictures. Can I get one?"
"Sure," said the director. Come

"Righto!" said Alfred Williams.
And he hung up.
We checked on the call and found
that the gentleman had telephoned
from public station, and that 1t had

as her frock, is satin-smooth and haw-
less.
Her eyes are remarkably clear, and
the size and brilliancy of her teeth,
while these are not within the conven-
tional canons of beauty, are arresting
and individual. To add to that, Gloria
Swanson has personality.
Lois Wilson, while long included
among the beauties of the film colony,
and justly, has charm for her outstand-
ing quality. This truly feminine at
tribute is becoming increasingly rare,
thanks to the modern idea. She is also
the least professional Of the profession

This also is unusual in community
