WORLD FAMOUS STORIES
THE HAUNTED CHAMBER:
BY MRS. RADCLIFFE.

whore he kindled a wood fire, the bright

drew a small table and chair near the

Finishing eating, he put his SWORD

once he thought he heard a noise
and looked around the chamber, hold
ing up the lamp to let him see. But
not perceiving anything to confirm his
alarm, he went on with his story.
Suddenly he started. for he Thought
he heard a voice in the chamber. He
looked toward the bed, but saw only the
dark curtain and the pail. He lis

blast as it rushed past the windows. :.
Having finished his story, he laid
aside the book, for he felt drowsy and
after putting more wood on the ire ne
reposed himself in the archway by the
hearth. In his dream he thought he
saw a mans face looking over the high
back of the chair. He looked up and
expected to see other eyes fixed on his

around the chair before he was con-
WINGED that no one was there.
The night passed. The next morning
the count came to call Ludovico. But
no answer could be gained from the
chambers into which Ludovico had
gone the night before. All pounding
and calling was in vain. At last they
| felt obliged to force the door.
The rooms were empty. In the room
with the bed-which had not been
used-they found the ashes of Ludo-
vico's fire, the remains of his lunch,
his sword and his book. But the arm
chair was empty and no trace of Ludo-
vico himself could be found.
No one had seen Ludovico since the
night before. The door had still been
locked on the inside. No other en-
trance or exit was known.
However, the chateau had been in
habited before the count obtained it..
He was not aware that the outer walls
apparently contained a series Of pas
sageS and stairways, which led to un-
known vaults underground. He never
thought of looking for door in those
parts of the chamber he thought next

communication with the room. The
chateau was on the seashore; its vaults
had become a storehouse of pirates,
who did their best to keep up the super
natural decisions that hindered people
from searching the premises, and these
pirates had carried. Ludovico away.

Sumac is little late in coming into
leaf in Spring. When it blooms, in late
Summer, its furry, fuzzy, thick spike
of flowers is but pale green and passes
unnoticed except by those two curious
fellow flower lovers, the botanist and
the bee None of use appreciates sumac
at it's fullest until this season of the
year. But now, indeed, the fernlike
beauty of the sumac leaf stands out
plume of scarlet, of vermillion. of
clear gold, or old gold, or orange.
Scarcely a tree, and hence not rivaling
the oak or maple in coloration, 1t makes
up the greater part of the glory oil
roadside thickets, and the little clumps
in vacant lots and country meadows
that Fastening Automobiles see, but
that are known and loved OF school
children and country children.
You can do a sumac bush no harm
now if you break off its leaves and
carry them home for decoration. The
Wild Flower Preservation Society will
not assail you. nor land owners prose-
cute you. do not say that it is right
to cut off branches of sumac-quite
otherwise, indeed. But some OF the
fronds, or compound leaves, snapped off
at the base of the leafstalk can be
spared, for sumac is abundant and the
leaves will soon fall, anyway.
But you must take this precaution-
that the sumac leaves will have to go
at once into water, so that if you do
not have any near your house, carry
a milk bottle with water in your car.
Sumac leaves are as whiting as the
fern frondS they resemble and will die
in your hands before you can get them
home.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, October o.
Lady Cinema is beginning to pail on
her devotees. Some of the foremost
names in the business are beginning to
be bored by the cameras clicking eye.
Within the last few weeks Mary
Pickford has admitted she is weary Of
movies. Richard BafthelmeSS has said
directing has more lure for him than
acting. And Ramon Navarro has had
his contract SO drawn that he will
have three months year to himself.
These three months he plans to spend
abroad and, If conditions are favor
able, to use them for Continental sing
ing debut.
Navarro has signed no concert con-
tract yet, rumorS to the contrary not
withstanding. But he doesn't deny
that his plan includes a foreign debut
in a field which has long had. more
interest for him than the world of
pantomime.
Adolphe Menjou is another artist
who is growing restless. Sometimes
this ennui takes the form of desire to
make pictures abroad, with the greater
artistic latitude the foreign made film
permits.
If were to hazard a guess about
this growing discomfort, should lay it
at the door of the motion picture for
mula. Those outside of Hollywood have
not the faintest idea what this formula
is. But if a star becomes a rage in a
part of a certain type the story be-
comes formula for that star. And let
him try to get away from it! Every
part suggested for him or her is bent
to the exigencies of that role.

All of which limits an artists scope,

that tremendous WEAKNESS for Lady

Now, the lady was frankly a member
of the triple "F's"-the fair, fat and

had to give the Judgment in her favor.
Stories with foreign locales continue

Aside from sound effects-and of the

Caps Which Suggest Bonnets
BY MARY MARSHALL.

women who are interested in dress.
Ten years from now will skirts be
long or short, full or Scant, simple or
complicated? Is there chance that
the low, almost heelless slippers of the
directoire and empire period will be
revived? And do you think that women
will be wearing bonnets?
I am not at all certain about bon
nets myself-Still one guess is as good
as another-and certainly this would
be an interesting development of mil
linery fashions, and many things point
that way. Hats are becoming lighter in
weight, softer and continue to cling
closely to the contours of the head.
Here and there, even now on the head
of some fashionable woman or other,
one sees bit of headgear that might
much more fairly be called bonnet
than a hat. Not the little top-pleces
with strings that women called bonnets
when Queen Victoria was middle-aged-
but bonnets that might be compared
to the headgear of a court jester when
knighthood was in f1ower-or to baby
bonnets If you prefer a more recent

BEAUTY CHATS

Fashions in everything change, and
recently I have noticed a lot of talk
about the too-thin woman. Men have
given interviews about how they hated
to take a girl out to dine and watch
her eat Sardine an da cup of tea,
because she was afraid of losing her
figure (but think of the comforting
figures on the bill with such an eco
nomical companionD And women are
saying they are tired of being bean poles
and those neutrality-suspicious. of all this.
the dress designers, are saying that the
female figure should now look like a fe-
male figure and not like board.
So the reaction has set in, and most
of us will take it seriously and have
third helping of chocolate cake for tea!
Which is all right, for many women
have gone to extremes and dieted them
selves down into nervous wrecks
Doctors of course like buxom sort of
person; 1t means good health, generally!
But youth and slimnesS will always go.
or seem to go, together. so the woman
who is chubby or plump will have to
watch her calorieS as hard as ever.
She'll merely, by virtue of the new
styles, look little better than last year.
It's better to diet gradually, and two
ounces a day is a good rate of reduce
ton. This means that 1000 calories
of food will have to be deducted from
the ordinary days ration every single
day until you have come down to a
reasonable figure. This means more
than 1000 if you are steadily overeat-
ing. Put more simply, it means that
you ought to keep your daily food sup
ply to about 1900 calories, until you are
the weight you want to be. This is
generality; some people may take as
r1uch as 1900 to reduce, some may re-
nuire only 1,100 or 1000. But 1900
is safe.
So learn a list of calorie values and
reduce! It's not difficult.
