Once more they live happily togeth- er—but he has forgotten the relent- less law.* In the midst of their hap- piness the police come for him. The girl has always thought him the noblest, most honorable man in the world. So, he lies to her. When arraigned, he finds an old act of friendship saves him and gives him another chance. So he returns to Babette. And she never knew. At the Rex tonight. The Barker Tomorrow. An entire circus, “big top,” saw- dust ring, clbowns, pink lemonade and band wagon drawn by six pranc- ing horses, were transported in a night to the lot near the Selig stu- dios, Chicago.

For some time the boys in khak have been recruiting from the hurrl cane deck of a half dozen Fifth avenuq buses, which take up positions along the curb of the white light section, says a New York exchange. They have been doing good work and have gained quite a few recruits, but at times theh tactics border on the rough-neck way of doing things. For instance, th¢ other night the recruiting buses were stationed at points where the crowds pass, and to the young men who wen{ by. they shouted, “Aren’t you ashamed of yourself not to be in uniform?” “Thai . girl isn't decent if she walks with 8 slacker like you;” “There’s anothet who is robbing his country,”‘and othe) similar remarks. The intent is te shame the man into enlisting at once That this is doing harm is evidenced by the attitude of the lookers-on, sev: eral comments of whom left little doub{ that those who were insulted would b¢ kept away from recruiting. Just Dream of Love. Turkish girls seem to prepare them telves for marringe in the absence of lovers. They are wooed by dreams and sweet thoughts; their faces be come tender and their volces eooing during the period when their parentt are making inquirfes for a suitable husband for them. But it does seem & pity that these pretty and charming girls should never experience in any degree that most delightful process oi courtship. Perhaps when they emerge into the freer life that seemed prepar ing for them until the war arresteq progress, that will be one of thelr galns—Exchange. A e — Distant Friends. A person well skilled in geography asked a loan of a friend, stating thaf he had been in all quarters of the globe, and had friends in each. He was asked their names and dealings. “ON.” said he, “I have often dealings with Tim Bucto, in Africa, for ivory with my old friend Ben Gal, for rice; Bil Boa sends me fruit from Spain, and there is Pat Agonia and Sam O'Thracia and Frank Onio, and—" “Hold,” replied the other; “you can" be on good terms with friends wha keep themselves at such a very greal distance.” What Camoufiage Is. Camouflage is simply the art of dis. guising military objects by any means whatever—painting, shrubbery, smoke 8creen or any other device. Perhaps the word has been minted from camou- flet. a whiff of smoke. A Peace Appetite. Mrs. Jones—As a patriotic duty we shquld eat the perishable things.
