Oklahoma placed its star in the American flag on November 16, 1907, and as short time as 1889 it thrown open to homeseekers. That ‘was. thrown open homeseekers. That progpective . settlers collected along the. border, of the new land, and at twelve o’clock, at a given signal, the race began for land claims. . _John Breckenridge Ellis, in writ- ing ‘‘Lahoma,” chose these early his- tory-making days for his locale. It is a story of ‘‘boomers,” homeseekers,, Indians, outlaws and cowboys. It is crammed to the brim with daring ad- ; venture and dangerous deeds, a pret- et ty little romance weaving the whole together. - To little Peaches Jackson and Lou- ise Burnham fall the role of ‘‘Laho- ma,” who grows from babyhood to . beautiful young-girlhood in the story.

It was In 1665 that the manufacture of lace; now known as Valenciennes, was begun at Ypres, and with other citles and towns and hamlets in Flan- ders the clack of the bobbins and the chatter of the lacemakers may ‘once more be heard. Many a little village I8 re-establishing its industry and is finding as ready a market as it did before the war. Flemish laces have always been favorites in England from the time when Henry VII in. 1546 made a present of “kerchiefs fringed with Flemish work” to “his verrie deaje wife,” Catherine Parr. Lace making was part of the education of women in the Low Countries in the latter part of the fifteenth gentury. and Charles V ordered: it to be taught | o the schoots, but In 1660 it was.ngt ngly as the heroine in “Kath- leen Mavourneen,” the big William | Fox special production which will be ¥ shown on Tuesday at the Rex the- atre. < L Charles J. Brabin, director of “Kathleen Mavourneen” and also its author thru the inspiration of the famous poem of the same name by Julia Crawford, the - Irish. poetess, was rather dubious when the proper- iy man told his a caw had been secured for some of the peasant life scenes, - “If we have a cow, Miss Bara real 1y ought to milk the animal,” Barbin wail slowly, “and I doubt if she can do it.” * “Faith, and you're wrong me lad- dy,” said Miss Bara, gaily getting in- to the spirii of the thing: In a few minutes the demonstrated that she had not forgotten the accomplish- ment of her childhood, and in a jiffy the sound of the milk striking the tin pail was lost in the noise of the cameraman setting up his tripad. THRILLING STELLAR ROLE Tt is seldom that a five-reel picture ,.offers a more exciting role for a star than does “Away Goes Prudence,” Billie Burke’s new Paramount Art- 3 craft picture which is to again 'be the attraction at the Elko tonight, also Tuesday matinee and evening. Part of the picture finds her flying over the Curtiss Flying-Field in At- lantic City. Other excitement in the picture is caused by the kidnapping of the heroine and the fact that she is held by a band of crooks and made to break into houses along with them. Walnut Stump Worth $250.

Choose your own to fit the role you bave assigned yourself, nnd you are only exercising your professional priv- flege. For the present, the custom— outside the dumains of -the theater and literature—is miore general amoung women than men. But the fashion once diffused, there Is no telling where it will end. Says a writer In. the Dally Mall of London: Time was when we were content to abide slavishly by the names bestowed upon us at our chris- . - tening, but today there are signs of revolt agaiust a handNap such as Is ’ jmplied by an unsuitable Cheistian name.

Human pature pos- sesses a curious aptitude for approxi- mating to the view formed of and for it, so the re-christening craze achieves a wonderful mental metamorphosis in guite a number of instances. The rose by any other name might smell as sweet, yet our feelings in re- £ S gard to it might modify, were it known as stitchwort or mangelwurzel. Similarly it would be risky to be B ¥nown as Martha when we long to be % Penelope, and silly to suffer as Susar when we feel like Sophonisba. The world seems a different splace when we feel ourselves rightly named for it. “There have been fashions in names that absolutely date their owners. Dor- otby and Phyllis proclaim thelr age - to .the world at large just as do the unfortunate creatures named by mis- guided parents after battles, jubilees and Russian dancers. For such the business of re-christening becomes sobner or later a positive duty. The re-christening habit once ac- quired, there is no reason why It .ahould not be repeated at intervals, “as we age and develop.
