Now, Miss White, there is some
thing lacking somewhere. Perhaps

times. Rex is a clean fellow, never
looks at another girl, has high ideals
and clean morals and worships the

man and a slave to the one he loves.
He puts me before himself or anyone.
One day he got into fuss with my
brother and challenged him to a
fight. This occurred at our house and
my parents took a dislike to him.

Autumn Wedding Lovely
With Colorful Background

The usual number of requests for
suggestions for fall weddings are
raining in and with the downpour the
usual complaint of the brides-to-be
that it is so difficult to make the
autumn wedding attractive. We in
variable disagree.
Autumn is beautiful time of
year and there is no reason why the
autumn bride should not outshine the
June one. To begin with, autumn
is the festive season; the beginning
of new work and new interests. It
is the homecoming season with its in
eidental gatherings of friends; the
weather is unusually lovely - the
bride doesn't have to worry about
having a shiny nose nor the groom a
wilted collar. In the second place,
it is a season of richness. There is
certain gorgeousness about nature
that no other season can boast. If
the bride has her bridal gown and
background of autumn leaves, what
lovelier thing could she have to set
her off?
At a lovely autumn wedding the
setting was the glaSseu-ln porch OF
country house which had been
filled with autumn leaves. The bride
wore pale yellow chiffon gown and
hat of beige lace. She carried a
great sheaf of russell chrysanthe-

decoration, however. The church
wedding, especially, that uses au-
tumn leaves and russell ehrysanthe-
NUNS would be lovely. Their SPLEEN
dor and their size both lend them
selves to the decoration of churches.
The bride who thinks autumn leaves
too colorful and perhaps too profane
for church wedding could have the
usual palms and still have the chry-
santhemums. These beautiful flow
eFs are Of such varying size and col
or that they can be chosen to sui
almost any color scheme.

less popular for bridal gowns and
the autumn bride amid the gorgeous
ness of chrysanthemum or leaves
could depart from it with wisdom.
With the lavender chrysanthemums
she could wear gown of palest flesh
color, so pale that at distance it
would look white, but as she drew
nearer would take on the color of her
own skin. Such a gown could be
made either of crepe or of lustrous
satin, or better still, of transparent
velvet.
A good suggestion, also, is the
cream-eolored gown. This is almost
universally becoming.
A silver gown is always good for
the bride, but should be used only
for the more elaborate sort of we'd
ding and, of course, only in the eve
ming. A silver gown with the sun
shining on it would have rather a
Brunhildesque effect. No bride
wants to wear armor and suggest a
fray SO soon.
A nice accompaniment for the
bride who chooses the cream gown
would be to have shades Of yellow
or gold for her attendants. Let her
own gown be lace; the veil of course,
/ tulle. the matron of honor and the
bridesmaids, if they wear yellow,
should not mix the colors. They
should all have the same shade but
/ they should vary the materials. For
I instance, the matron could wear a
gown Of lustrous satin, very straight
and slim, and the maids wear semi
bouffanf gowns Of chiffon in the
same color.
They could all wear brown lace
hats The bouquets could be russell
chrysanthemums in either small or
large sizes. For the brides bouquet
we suggest lilies Of the valley with
one spray Of small yellow orchids to
set it off. With a background Of
autumn leaves such as procession
would be exquisite.
The table decorations at we'd
ding breakfast should carry out the
color scheme Of the bridal party and
these two suggested schemes would
be lovely for table colorings, too.
Let no autumn bride-to-be say that
the autumn wedding cannot be as
+ lovely as the June one; let her do
her best and her friends wiz tell her
otherwise,

Rex undoubtedly is a fine boy in

would welcome as a son-in-law.
Devoting yourselves so exclusively
to each other has not given you a
fair chance to know your own minds.
In those circumstances it is easy to

REMOVE MAKEUP AT NIGHT

BE sure to remove all makeup
application before retiring if there is
any facial blemish. Makeup applica-
tions, of course, should be removed
nightly, anyway. But don't fail to
remove makeup where there is any
blackhead or pimple trouble. Follow
the cream removal work, if you insist
on using a cream cleanser, with the
soap and water cleansing. You have
not any idea how important is this

formation, have handy a little bottle
of alcohol and fresh little wads of
cotton and wipe the face over several
times a day with this astringent and
an antseptic.
There is another form that acne
takes, usually in older persons. 1t is
recognized in flushed areas of the
nose, cheeks, chin and between the
eyes. Generally this condition is
present with the more recognizable
acne symptoms, blackheads and
pimples. 1t may be due to spongy
growth in the nose or to a bony con-
struction there or to a faulty diges-
tive apparatus. Constitutional treat
ment rather than cosmetic treatment
is the proper thing to seek here. Let
your physician dictate what course to
pursue.
MRS. ED K.-Superfluous hair on

on the legs a depilatory may be used.
After the use of a depilatory it is
! well to apply a soothing lotion or

Paris, Musical Play with Irene Bordonii Begins
 Tomorrow Evening

Under Montana Skies,' starring Kenneth Harlan, Is the attraction for tonight only at the Coliseum theatre.
 Harlan, in his character in the story, plays voluntary godfather to show troupe stranded in a Western town and endures all the trials, tribulations, laughs and ad- ventures of such a group. And he does some riding, too. He chases a ,stage-coach 50 per cent of the time. By his own confession, he has never had a role involving as much physical exercise.
 Included in the supporting cast are Dorothy Gulliver and Slim Summerville.
 At the Coliseum, beginning to- morrow night, Paris" a gay musi- cal play, characterized as a rainbow of melodies, will be shown.
 Paris" not only brings Irene Bordoni, the French favorite, to the Coliseum screen, but also marks the appearance of her lead ing man, Jack Buchanan.
 Musical Comedy Idol
 Buchanan is the idol of the Brit ish musical comedy stage. He has been twice starred in New York in Charlot's Revue. He was chosen to play opposite Miss Bor- doni because the role is that of an English musical favorite, and Buch- anan is the outstanding star in that field. He is, in fact, the perfect type for the role.
 When Paris was being cast, Buchanan was just finishing sixteen months run of a success ful musical comedy in London. He received the cable asking him to join the Bordoni cast, and left the next day. making the journey to Hollywood from England in less than three weeks
 From Stage to Screen
 Paris" is the screen version of Miss Bordonis latest and great est stage success. It is a First National and Vitaphone all-dia- logue picture with singing and dancing, and presents the French star in a typical Bordoni role-that of French stage star
 The very fine supporting cast in- cludes, in addition to Buchanan. Louis Closer Hale, who also play ed in the stage version of Paris; Jason Robards, stage and screen favorite who was a member of the original "Lightpin' cast; Zasu Pitts, the screen character actress, and Margaret Fielding.

 ANNA CHRISTIE
Buck Jones Tonight and Greta Garbo Sunday
 Evening at Capitol

With "The Lone Rider" starring Buck Jones, showing for the last times tonight at the Capitol The ater, Annie Christie" having Gre ta Garbo in the title role, will be the feature attraction tomorrow night at the popular playhouse. In "The Lone Rider" Buck Jones with his horse Silver, provides lots of thrills.
 The action centers about Jim Lanning, a bandit, who quits his levil ways when he meets pretty Mary Stevens. Jim has set out to rob the very stage coach in which Mary was travelling West. Because of a split with his old gang he sets out to do it alone. The gang beat him to it-and in the fnix-up that followed Jim rescues the girl. Impressed by Mary's confidence in him, Jim took her to her father, Judge Stevens, in Gold City. AS a reward for his chivalry, the Judge made him a member of the Vigilantes, com- mittee formed to abolish outlaw ry. Jims battles with his former gang, who plan big robbery in Gold City, supply the rest of the action for this thrilling yarn.
 Garb0 In Christie"
 In Anna Christie" tomorrow night, Greta Garbo will be sup ported by Charles Bickford, George IF. Marion, Marie Dressler, James T. Mack and Lee Phelps.
 The story of Anna Christie" re- wolves about the regeneration of a Swedish girl who, brought up without care or guidance, chose a shameful career to escape the ty- ranny of life on a Minnesota farm. Several months spent with her father on an old sea barge and the love of an Irish sailor inspire her to a fresh start in life.
 The production has been filmed with close attention to authentic Hity of settings, the various scenes Including reproductions of New 'York's waterfront, cobbled streets, horse drawn vehicles, old saloons and a picturesque representation of Coney Island with it's Eden Musee, side shows, concessions and other details.
 Greta's Finest Effort
 Garbo's performance as Anna is the finest thing she has ever done, the tragic sincerity of the role being of the type to which the distin- guished actress is particularly well suited.
 As a play, Anna Christie" ran for TIT performances on Broadway and continued for two solid seasons in the United States and England. It is regarded as one of the best of O'Neill's works.
