Women who Like to beautify
their homes are delighted with
the new wonder package Of over
800 novel designs. A new easy

use the patterns easily and Sue

bowl of a tablespoon over the
moistened surface of the pat
tern design. Presto! You have
transferred the pattern onto
your wood, cloth, paper or any
other surface you may wish to
decorate, and each pattern can
be used IL times.

a N INSIGNIFICANT little street
car transfer turned Mary Pick
ford's career from the stage to world
wide fame on the screen.
On her way to theatrical booking
agency In the Times square district,
Mary, at her mothers behest, stopped
In the old Biograph studio on Four
teenth street, New York, before using
the transfer.
Thus In a nutshell, you have the
story of the rise of Mary Pickford.
Her theatrical career began in the
Valentine Stock company in the city
Of Toronto, Canada, where she was
born. Her first appearance on the
speaking stage was made at the age
of five, when she took the part Of
boy In a play called 1.-The Silver
King"
At the age of eight, Americas
Sweetheart" went on the road with
"The Little Red Schoolhouse," and at
the age of nine Mary was starred in
"The Fatal Wedding" in the part of
Jessie the little mother. When but
eleven she was appearing with Chaun-
cey Olcott in Edmund Burke"
To Miss Pickford belongs the honor
of originating the part of Betty War

SPORTS OUTFIT FOR

Sport clothes for first country week
ends begin to be an important ward
robe item right now. To allow for
vagaries in the weather they must be
good and warm. Materials should be
dark so you can leave town by train
or car in the main outfit of the week

A particularly satisfactory sort of
costume comprises skirt, cape and
sweater, or cape and suit. A lovely

The sweater was mustard colored and
high necked. With this SLOUGH felt

white raincoat for all they are worth.
They are usually made of zephyr
weight poplin or crepe de chine and
are as dainty as the summary dresses
they top. This model Is sleeveless
and can be comfortably slipped over
another coat. Wide shoulders and
voluminous sleeves underneath mean
nothing to this raincoat. The white

Another model which we cannot re-

David Belasco production which was
her first play on Broadway.
From Belasco's management, she
went into motion pictures, but let her
tell the story in her own words at
this point.
"You see" she said, 81 did not think
much of the movies at that time. In
fact, people on the legitimate stage
considered it a disgrace to work in
pictures. But my mother had asked
me to go to the Biograph studio on
Fourteenth street and try to see Mr..
Griffith. Although I demurred, she
insisted, and of course, l could not
disobey. But l took the precaution
to route my trip so that could make
five cents do the work of 10. Those
were times when five cents was al
ways doing the work of ten.
Instead of taking a street car from
where we lived to Fourteenth street,
I walked the ten blocks, took the car
on Fourteenth and asked for a trans
fer. The old Biograph studio was on
Fourteenth street between Broadway
and Fifth avenue. Thus, when l had
satisfied mother by dropping in at the
studio, could walk back to Broad
way and use my transfer to ride to
the Times square and the theatrical
district where the booking offices were
located.
81 felt certain that in the end it
would be necessary to visit the booking
Offices to obtain another theatrical en-
gagement, which at that moment need
ed very badly. Imagine my surprise
then when / was ushered into the au-
gust presence of Mr.. Griffith who, after
short talk, gave me my first motion
picture engagement"
From such simple beginning, a
new figure in world history was born.
Even today few people realize how
far into the distant corners of the
earth our Mary's popularity has
reached. Her mail brings letters in
nearly every language. Furthermore,
Miss Pickford is the only woman In
motion pictures who is socially hon.
ored by the real royalties of Europe.
When she travels people at every sta
ton crowd the platform for a glimpse
of her. And with all this she is a
charming, wistful young woman, hap
by In the love of devoted husband.
Still there are many simple pleasures
(which she has had to do without, pleas
ures which her less famous neighbors
accept as a matter of course.
You may wonder from this IL she
Is happy with her lot. The answer is
yes. But even the reason for her be-
ing happy in spite of missing things
which other people enjoy. is In itself
a simple thing. Her work makes others
happy. Therein lies her compensation.
She has learned that service to 9TH
ers is the one coin that pays the debts
we owe our hearts.

Fluttery and Impressive

1t has been something of a surprise
to those who thought that the winged
silhouette, the wide shoulder, had
blown itself out to the moment of col.
lapse, to discover that certain Paris
couturiers have increased the infiu-
ence to such an extended degree that
1t suggests an airplane silhouette.
That Schiaparelli should do some
thing extreme In this direction is not
surprising. Her development of this
width at top into fashion which juts
out over the arms to a degree that
gives reason to its indication as "shoul-

character of this fashion.

JOY FOR WAIF
In RANCH HOME
Lucky Youngster to Have His
Chance in Life.

OF unusual appeal Is this simple
human interest story Of waif res
cued from the harshness of the
world, written by John Steven Me-
Groarty, in the Los Angeles Times:
From certain institution which
cares for orphaned children and
takes In little human waits. we have
had good news. lately.
""he good news Is that the insti-
tuition has found homes for the waits
that have come to it's doors. Ii is a
salvage house which goes out and
gathers In children who have been,
from one cause and another. cast up
on the mercy of the world. Darling
little ones, so much like those whom
the Wanderer Of Galilee gathered
about his knees, saying, Suffer little
children to come unto Me, for of such
Is the Kingdom of Heaven
swell, what this children's home
that we are talking about does is that
it calls in childless men and women
and says to them, Wouldn't you like
to have one of these adorable tykes
in your home that now knows no
no child's prattle and laughter?' And
so the hearts of the childless men
and women long for the babies and
take them away with them to their
homes. 1t is all very wonderful.
'But, what we started TO tell you
all In the Synagogue this blessed Sab
bath morning is that when we looked
over the pictures of the waits who
had been adopted into good homes.
we came across a picture of one
sturdy little fellow who had been
adopted by rancher. God knows
who the little chaps father or moth
er is. But what difference did il
make?
"The picture showed the boy on
the ranch, sitting on a farm wagon
holding the reins of the horses, and
the old rancher sitting beside the boy
and smiling proudly down on him.
1t was a picture so happy that it
would almost make you cry just TO
look at it.
''No doubt other children adopted
into good city homes are to be reck-
oned fortunate. But, this boy who
was taken into a ranch home is more
fortunate still. He will grow up TO
be real man. The strength of the
good earth will grow into the fiber
of his soul and body. He will live
with nature. He will know the de-
light of green things growing. Seed
time and harvest will be his. He
will know what Lincoln knew when
a boy and what Washington learned
from sun and rain and forest trees.
1T is wonderful just TO be boy
anywhere. but to be a boy with ma
ture to companion and teach him is
the most wonderful thing of all.
God keep all boys, and ali girls.
too. But, you. little fellow out there
on that ranch, God is very near you
now, and he will have you In the
shadow of his wing"

BLACK SATIN VOGUE
EXTENDS TO HATS

Black satin's vogue for fall wear is
extended to hats in the newest dis
plays of fall millinery. Latest models
in the smarter shops show wide va
riety. The very wide-brimmed hats
for dressier occasions are most often
found with fiat crown, some of the
new models measuring only an inch
or two in depth. Their round, wide
brims are an irresistible temptation
to any brisk breeze.
High-crowned hats are plentiful
also. some of them with fairly good
sized brims, but most of these are dec
