INVITED TO JOUST WITH WINDMILLS. Some of the letters were most in- teresting. Hore are a few samples: “Dear Mr, Chaplin: You are a leader in your line and I am a lead- er in min». Your specialty 1s mov- ing pictures and custard pies. My specialty is windmills. “I know more about windmills than any man in the world. I have studied the winds all over the world and am row in a position to invent a windmil! that will be the stand- ard mill of the world, as it will be made so it can be adapted to the winds of the tropics and the winds of the Arctic regions, “I am going to let you in on this in an advantageous way. You have only to furnish the money. I have the brains and In a few years T left a perfectly good mother back | apy vam QTE: NEA will make you rich and famous.

I am ‘sure that I can find him as he and i drink in the same places. Your shipimate.” CHANCE TO MEET DRUSILLA. “Dear Mr. Chaplin: My daughter has been helping me about my boarding house now for several years ani I may say that she un- derstands the art of catering to the public as wishes to stay in quar- ters. But she has such high-toned idéas, like as putting up curtains in the bathroom and such, that at times I think she is too good for the boarding house business and should be having her own hotel to run. “It you could see your way to buy a hotel in London or New York for Drusilla, 1 am sure that before long your name and Drusilla's would be linked together all over the world because of what Drusilla would do to the hotel business. And she Mould save money because she can make all tho beds and cook her- | ing pawn checks for self and at nights could invent the touches like what I have men- tioned. Drusilla is waiting for you to call hes. ABOUT GRANDMA'S FALSE TEETH. “Dear Mr. Chaplin: I am Inclos- grandma's false teeth and our silver water pitcher, also a rent bill showing that our rent was duo yesterday. Of course, we would rather have you pay cur rent first, but if you could spare it, grandma's teeth would be acceptable, and we can't hold our heads up among the neigh- bors since father hocked our silver pitcher to get some beer,” (Continued To- Morrow.) oh Caparidty 1921, by, the, McClure, Newspaoer yo FRENCH LINE PICTURES NORTH AFRICAN TOURS Picturesque North Africa Shown in Films at Aeolian Hall. A panorama of age-old civilization untouched by that of the modern na- tions ‘which goes on #0 near it, was shown last night by the Compagnie Generale Transatlantique which, at Acollan Hull in West 42d Street, dis- played motion pictures of the North African ‘tours which have been ar- ranged by this steamship line. The films followed the course df the traveller on the various tours in the Barbary States, Morocco, Algeria and tho Desert of Sahara with all the move- ment and quaintness which character- tzea life {n that far-away part of the world. Until recently the interior of Morocco and Algeria was closed to the traveller, but now, under French control, travel: lers are admitted everywhere.
