 "Flattering man, that Stromberg," Miss Russell laughed.
 But it wasn't flattery. To play the part of Q graceless girl who blossoms into beauty under the stimulus of interest in a man, an actress has to be lovely to begin with and to disguise the fact until 1t is time to display her attractive ness.
 It makes no difference that such . girl is mortified by the character of the man, her need for love was not to be denied. And love, however misdirected, Is beautifying influ. erce. It Is a difficult as well as an interesting part that Rosalind Rus- sell has in Might Must Fall"

 This and That
tCopyright, 1es6, by) GRIDLEY ADAMS

When riding in the subway or aboard the trolley, did you ever spend the few minutes to pick out some man or some woman sitting opposite, and conjecture what his or her life has been,-what 1t is now,--what are the circumstances that control their daily activities,-their toys,-- their sorrow,- their hopeS,-- their disappointment? Try that some day.
 The other Sunday morning while riding on 42nd street ferry, there sat opposite me @ man about 70 years old. He was no tramp, but, his clothes plainly showed to him that life was not the easiest, not the happiest, nor as rosy as once 1t had been, because there was about him that indefinable something" which told you he had seen much better days. Upon his patched coat there were remnants of food, and yet he scratched hard in trying to eliminate those marks of untidiness. As l eyed him, and tried to devine along what paths his 70 years had lead him, since perhaps he was some young mothers first, curly-headed baby nestling 'gainst her breast, I saw him lean over and pick up the butt of a cigarette. He didn't do 1t as have seen many street derelicts brag a discarded cigar butt. In. stead, he sat and eyed that inch of cigarette in his fingers as if mus. ing on the days when he had bought them by the package he sat beneath the lamp in a well.furnish- ed home. and let the smoke as 1t floated away in rings above his head, picture the castles he one day would proudly possess. So pathetic was his revery that 1t moved me to go across to him. offer him cigarette from my case, then strike 8 match with which to light 1t. Finishing his first draught. he looked up at me and, with slight huskiness in his voice. said: Thank you. Sir!" while from his eyes into mine there came 8 sustained look that told me I was not far wrong,--one of those looks that seem to say: Have you guessed my story?" Then there came into his eyes a glistening tear, and he looked away--away far of into SOMEWHERE. How I wish could have discerned the same some where" that my little act of friend- Illness had brought so poignantly back to him?
 George Eliot once wrote, Blessed is the man who having nothing to say, abstains from giving wordy evi- dence of the fact"
 Half of greatness is spirit. The only thing under the sun that is impossible is something that cannot be imagined.
 Once Is a while, not often. a man is born who isn't afraid. Then things begin to move.
