STRAND

Opening this afternoon at the Warner Bros. Strand theater for a two day showing of today and to- morrow only is the hilarious comedy "You Cant Cheat An Honest Man" with three great clowns of the screen, w. c. Fields, Charlie Me- Carthy and Edgar Bergen in the leading roles.
 The film is hailed as the film feud of the century and is said to be SO funny that you will positively split your sides during it's presenta- ton.
 For a comedy combination you just can't beat the trio of Fields Mccarthy and Bergen for they are tops and in the opinion of critics they set new high in riotous screen fare.
 Fields has been a star in his own right for nearly 4 years and Mccarthy and Bergen are among today's foremost radios entertain CTS. Mortimer Snerd, Constance Moore, Princess Baba and Blaca- man, the animal hypnotist are featured in important roles. The remainder of the cast is comprised 0f seasoned veterans of the stage and screen. who will undoubtedly make you laugh loud and long at their funny antics.

 You have finally decided that the lines around your eyes are getting deeper from squinting-not laugh ing.
 You are tired of saying, "No, l haven't read that book yet"
 You realize that you just cannot go on reading only the headlines in your daily paper.
 In other words, you have made up your mind to see an eye spec ialist and get some glasses. Ma turally enough, you don't think much of the idea. The mere men, ton of the word "spectacles" con- lures up dandy little visions of thick, dark horn rims, of never again looking pretty or smart in a hat, of appearing prim and older than you are or maybe even frighteningly scholarly.
 Well, don't brood too long. Your spirits will lift when you discover that modern eye glasses are de- signed to suit every face. You'll be allowed to try on different types of frames and bows until you find some which are right for the size and shape of your face, eyes, cheek bones and so on. Complexion lenses which do not catch and reflect the light ar inconspicuous in themselves. And you'll find rims and bows in tones to match your own skin. Don't get an idea that you will find in- visible eye glasses, but don't think for moment that you'll be forced to choose very conspicuous ones.
 Once you have the glasses, see good hairdresses. Chances are ten to one that your present coiffure won't do. If you have been brush ing your hair straight upward all the way around and piling it on top of your head or if you have been wearing a fluffy bob that cov- CTS the sides of your cheeks, a certainly is in order. Go in with your glasses on and keep them on while consulting with the coiffure expert. If possible, don't let him see you without them.
 Your next visit should be to IiU oNNdUsoC ~ loll lAE>Oly tlioe your old hats will be any more suitable now that you have glasses than your hairdo was.
 Generally speaking, hats with forward movement will be more f1attering than of-the-face types. Try on brims that slant forward, and, for dressier occasions, little toques to be worn far forward over one eye. So far as you're concerned face-concealing veils are out. You can have yelling trimming, but it must not float down over your glasses.
 Avoid severe, untrimmed felts, too. Try pretty hats or dashing hats instead.
 You may be able to wear small button earrings, but long, dangling ones are absolutely out. Glasses plus

RAISING A FAMILY ---- At Y, Girls Main Goals Are a Man, And Fame

is supposed to have that certain something that attracts. Without it she cannot travel the Glory road. For girls, as well as boys of this age, build their air castles of con- quest.
 What these air castles are is not mere guess, for there are two things that express the ambition of the girls of today. One is to capture eventually the heart of a strong man and marry him at the right time; the other to become famous. Perhaps both.
 So the seventeener has her dream life that parallels her studies and sports. She either has it, tries for it or fails. At the same time, she must keep her self-respect and avoid the appearance of contriving.
 There's Competition, Too
 She has other girls to reckon with, too, many of them ruthless and cruel. Competition is open all year for this place in the sun. The fair and square ones get trampled under so often, yet they must keep smiling. A moody boy is tolerated. A moody girl-never.
 Mother and father have their own ideas of suitable company. They should have anyway. But with out troubling to investigate, they may condemn the chap entirely worthy of their respect and liking. More trouble, then, for the daugh- ter of the house. She should have several friends of both sexes, but when one John always takes one Mary to the class dances, as hap pens now, what can she do?
 She is expected to prepare for business or profession. Perhaps she does not want to or need to. Ahead is that dreary interlude which may run into the years. More problems. I think she is right grand soldier. Copyright, 1899, NEA Service, Incl

--WE, THE WOMEN--- American Women Won't Feel Too Cordial Toward Homing
 ''Dime Store Countess"


 Well, if they didn't like any of those events in the life of the beau- tiful American girl whose decisions have often hinted that she has more money than sentiment, they aren't in any mood to join well coming committee to greet Dan- ish Countess and her child who ap- pear to be scurrying back to Am erica for safe-keeping.
 Her critics will say: "An Ameri- can man wasn't good enough for her to marry (either time)-but when war threatens, she runs back for the protection of American men,"
 She wanted her Soh to have a nice European title, but though he is a Danish nobleman by birth, she isn't willing to let him take his chances in his own country.
 She didn't like giving the Amer ican government a nice big hunk of her fortune, but when the dicta- tors threaten, she would seem to be running to the American govern ment for the protection its wealth affords.
 No, Barbara Hutton isn't due for very popular reception in Ameri- ca.
 Too many people feel she ought to be greeted with the suggestion, How do you do, Countess Revent- low? It was nice of you to drop in, but was is likely to break out any day now. And in that case, don't you think your duty is to go back to your adopted country? Good day, Countess"

 It is necessary, then, on analyz- ing the seventeen-year girl, to mention her common problems Her inner life is her own. She will cling to this right fiercely, so let us respect it.
 Desires Attractiveness
 First of all, she wants to be pretty and popular. This is not silly. Attractiveness is the means to that attention upon which her success in future mating has always depended. Fortunately, today we have sub stituted "smartness" for beauty, and she can create a beauty of her own.
