T° get rid of a man don’t spurn his love; just tell him that you can't live without him. When a man tells a woman that he loves her because she is “so good and noble” it thrills her almost as much #s though be had told her that he loved her because she had a good digestion or a healthy appetite. A man is never quite so good as he thinks he is, nor quite so wicked as he tries to make a woman think he is, Nothing hurts a man more than coming home with a grievance and finding company there so that he 't enjoy airing it. A woman sometimes keeps a man running after her not because she has any doubt of her own mind but just in order to give him something amusing to do until she gets ready to marry him, When a woman refuses to kiss a man he regards her as either a prude or a mode! of propriety—because it never occurs to him that she could ever possibly have thought of kissing anybody else. A woman can forgive her husband for calling her names on purpose in private if he will only call her “darling” by accident in public once in a while. “Love's Old Sweet Song” would be so much more thrilling {f every man didn’t use the same words and music.

With the Panama Fair going full blast, these are the days to go over the landscape with @ pretty powerful field glass if you are out for pickings. Of course, our company's using the fair for every foot of film they can get out of it. That necessitates my being on the spot every minute of the time—and y'know there's get- ting to be as much glamour about a movie star as there used to be about those champagne-couted, diamond- studded sirens of the legitimate. Everything's possible as long as you've got your health and your powder rag—and I'm no quitter!

They were @ rough looking lot with their shaggy beards and unkempt hair and with their dirt-encrusted bodies swathed in gold em: At the table’s head stood a thick-set young man whose ill-fitting European clothes sat oddly on his giant body.

He further informed the assemblage that the reform ‘was going to begin then and there. Modern folk, Re told them, did not wear enormous shaggy beards and European dress must henceforth be worn by the Russians, and beards must go. To show he was in earnest Peter went slowly around the table and with his own hand cut off.the beard of every man there. To a seventeenth century Russian the beard was as sacred as is a pigtail to a Chinaman; and nothing but Peter's iron authority, backed by his army's loyalty, prevented a wholesale revolution. Until Peter's time it had been the custom to wear the coatsleeves at least a foot longer than the arms; these sleeves he ordered cut off to conform with European fashions. As it was the clothes and beard reform stirred up a dozen hot little rebellions, Nor did Peter rest until he had He was a strange man, formerly despised country a world power. this Czar who undertook to awaken a sleeping nation to life and activity.
