 "Thanks, Handsome. You wouldn't kid me, would you? When'd you get in town? Oh--and how you've been missed, darling! The place hasn't been the same. What are you doing to-night?"
 "Why-nothing much." Mark turned toward Norma. Want you to know Nat Price, Norma" he said. "One of my best friends. Nat this is Mrs Travers.''
 Quick, flashing looks of apprais- al on the part of both girls. AL most in one voice they chorused, How'd you do." Norma's greet ing was low pitched, a little un- steady. Natalie's was an indifferent drawl.
 "You two will be great friends, !" Mark prophesied with a mans blind confidence. Any observer of their own sex would have said the young women all but bristled an- tagonism. There was such yelled aloofness in the droop of Natalie Prices mascaraed eyelids. Such resentment in Norna's politely ar- tificial smile.
 | ESQ nice to meet you, Mrs Travers." Natalie's words were ap- parently harmless as the Angora' s claws. Covered by silky fur, how those claws can slash and tear in action!
 "I'm glad to know my husbands friends" The faintest trace of proprietary emphasis on that word husband" as Norma said it. s

SlOihest; Easiest Way fo End Bilious Spell

When you neglect those first symptoms of constipation-bad breath, coated tongue. listlessness, the whole system soon suffers. Ap- petite lags. Digestion slows up. You become headachy, dizzy, bilious.
 It's easy to correct sluggish bowel action! Take a candy Cas- caret tonight. See how quickly and pleasantly-the bowels are activated. All the souring waste Is gently propelled from the system. Regular and complete bowel ac- ton is restored.
 Cascarets are made from pure cascara, substance which uoc- tors agree actually strensInsns bowel muscles. All drug stores have cascarets. 10cs

Nancy worked out recipe which she used every year. Here 1t is.
 Choose a dozen sound red apples. Wash, wipe and insert wooden skewer (procured from the butch er) in blossom end. Boil two cups sugar, one half cup light corn syrup, three-quarters cup water to hard crack test. This is equal to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Set pan in larger pan of boiling water, add few drops red coloring and few drops oil, not extract nor essence, of peppermint or cloves. Plunge each apple in hot syrup, twirl until covered, lift out and set upright in vase or rack so apple does not touch anything as drying. Use by next day, at latest. Cook syrup in deep, narrow container so there is plenty of depth of syrup into which to dip and twirl apple.
 Planning for Halloween parties is easier if you have Nancy's leafiet on the subject. Send 8 stamped self-addressed envelope with your request to Nancy Page, care of this paper.

Drama Reaching the Screen.

THE movie has always been AFRAID
Of tragedy. More good plays have
been fairly butchered for q "happy end
ing" that turned them into weak, silly
twaddle than the producers might care
to admit at the present time. And
there Is, even now, no certainty that
the "Pollyanna habit" is entirely cured.
But there Is hope that it is on its way.
What with the murderous weapons
Of the gangster and the doingS OF the
underworld that have been so freely
exploited, II not magnified by the pic
ture industry, human life Is not so
precious as It was, and the movie pro-
Queer Is beginning to believe that q
good killing has dramatic value not
to be sneezed at. So look out!

change being the order of the day,
old rules of dramatic construction
and old techniques, stage and
movie, might be discarded, so that
everything in the way OF drama
may be entirely different, new,
unique. Who knows, it might even
be possible to dispense with the old
critics and the art of criticism,
supplanting them with bright,
Snappy, original things conceived
by virgin minds of the purest
fiber of gray matter. Then, in
deed, would our old world take on
a new lease of life, and the ex-
penSe of sending out press agents
to bring back the precious Road
to the Theater might be called
off to cut down the overhead.
THIS is a time for profound
thought. Even the widest
movie fan should be led to think,
not about persons, but about
things. Somebody is going to
make over this old wornout rest
less World, cure it of its craving
for something, it does not know
what, and start a new civilization
that will be independent of the
ShubertS, the Zukors, the Laskys
and the other celebrities that
have, it might be confessed for
the sake of argument, made our
old World what it is-not to men
ton Drama, Religion, Ethics, and
even Psychiatry. Meanwhile those
who must be discarded, even as
the mystic corner stone which was
rejected by the builder, should
quietly sit to watch, look and
listen, for great things will be
doing in the sweet by-and-by.
HOWEVER, be that as it may,
as a faint crumb of comfort
to those who lack initiative, to
whom the inspiration unique is
never vouchSafed, but who must
continue to live out life as the
ancients outlined, there Is still a
faint hope in the vagrant mind
of the idler that when cleaners
have gathered their rich harvest
in the Fall, when vacation time
comes for the hoe and the plow-
share, when the old drum stove
in the country general store is
repoliShed and made ready for
the warm fires of Winter, around
which the rural mind will un-
burden itself, there is a bare pos
sibility that George White and
Earl Carroll may be discovered in
the veil-like haze and that some
of the dramatic monStrosities that
have helped along a tedious past
may be heard, albeit, rumbling
along on the creaky truck, haul
ing Drama as the ancientS
learned to love it, and taking the
Theater back to the Road.
