ADVICE TO
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

hEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
~ I am a girl of eighteen and
am considered good-looking by
all my friends.
do not go out with beaux. I
go to a movie once q week with
a girl I know, Of my age. But I
always have to put up fight in
order to go skating once a week
even II take my younger sister
with me and agree to be back at
ten.
Once or twice I have had a
ring on the phone while I was
out, from some young man try
ing to kid me along. Ny parents
think this is a crime. Will you
please let me. know whether it is
all right for a girl to go out
twice a week when she is back
home at 10 o'clock.
DIsGUSTED ROSIE.
If your parents are willing, do
not see why you should not go
to a movie or skating twice a
week with a girl companion, pro-
vided you conduct yourself in
such way that your parents
would be pleased and proud of
you il they were along. Remem-
Der your parents love you and in
all they too are thinking of your
interest so be very patient and
sweet with them won't you,
Rosie?

what the mind is trying to hide.
Only as we grow in e .'erience can
we make our face a mask to belle
our emotions. This is because the
face is primarily under the control
OF the autonomic nerves; they act
of their own sweet viii and are by
nature honest. But by and by our
brain learns to get control of them;
we force our face to wear a smile
when our heart would bid our eyes
to weep.

muscle covers many animals like
a blanket.
We all have bits Of this skin
muscle-some OF us more, some
less; even on the chest and back.
Usually we cannot witch it; we
send a hand after the fly. We
have traces of it in our scalp; a
few have enough to, move the
whole scalp. Most of us can
wrinkle our forehead-and do,
when perplexed. Apes use this
muscle both in pleasure and to
frighten enemies. We all have
vestiges of the muscles dogs use
to pull. push and lift their ears;
some can even Wriggle them.
So, while the skin muscle of our
face and shoulders tends to disap-
pear, the deeper facial muscles
show progressive variation. They
are among our most recent acqui-
sitions. We retain the muscle by
which the dog shows its canine
tooth: we can all sparl. But the
muscle by which we smile is not so
regularly present; the man of

duction starring the comediennc
and popular player, Madgc Bellamy,
in the title role.
The story deals with the life of
a little shop girl tired of work and
hungry for beautiful CLOTHES and
amusement. Not an uncommon
failing, and for that reason an ideal
theme for photodrama. But in
stead of the usual tragic, sordid
picture this theme usually calls
forth, Arthur Rosson, the director,
has made it a happy romance Of
youth, starred with laughter.
In the opening sequences Miss
Bellamy is shown losing her posi-
ton as a salesgirl because she cX,
ercises her ready wit on her cho-
leric employer, something that has
led to disaster in real life more
than it has in pictures. Out of a
