Well, well! What a charming family party!” said Harry Underwood. ! ‘““How are you, Senor Matadorilla? Haven'’t seen you in a coon's age.” He stood beside the cafe compart- ment in which Lillian Underwood, Katherine Sonnot and I dressed as Latin-American women, were seated with Mr. Cabineros, a genuine Latin, who had accompanied us at Lillian’s behest, and the bluff, hearty tones in which he voiced his greeting would have deceived any one who did not know him well. But I caught, as I knew did Lillian, the underlying note of mocking devilment in his tones as well as in the pseudonym he bestowed on Mr. Cabineros, whom I was certain he had never seen before in his life, although he was holding out his hana to the elder man as if they were bosom friends. Mr. Cabineros, however, was equal to the occasion. With ggave courtesy he took the hand Harry Underwood gave him and responded in carefully couched words: “Thank you. You're very kind.” “And the charming senorita, Mar- garet, too,” the light tones, with an <undernote of mockery went on, and he extended his hapd to me. There was nothing else for me to do but to place mine within his.

Personally I have dark suspicions that there are none so blind as those who won't see. It ¥s Fun Tracking Down Resemblances. I seldom go anywhere that I do not seo someone, who resemblgs someone else. A skeptic hausemate assures me I could get over this if I tried. Get over it, indeed! On the contrary, it is & habit of mine which I encourage. It is so interesting to collect resem- blances and to see in just what they consist. . Sometimes it is a question of the shape of the face or features; agaln it is an elusive expression. Often peaple who are very unlike on the whole will resemble each other in some small way—a smile, the sweep of an eyebrow, the height of the cheek bones.

Dick Rosson, that dare-devil Triangle per- former, is to be seen in the latest and most exciting picture that he has made, the title of which is “‘Cassidy.” It is a play of unusual plot, full of dramatic thrills, and packed to the edge with rapid-fire action, and it has & peculiar twist as a finish that puts it over with a bang. ' The other feat- ure is “The Habit of Happiness,” in which Douglas Fairbanks, the only and origina] gloom-dispeller, who was last seen here in “Hisg Picture In The Papers,” will be seen.
