THE DREAM THAT MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND
BY MABEL HERBERT URNER. "Through?" Helen nodded, and he beckoned to the waiter for the check. Usually Helen enjoyed the change day she had been in the throes of had been almost too tired to eat. All day she had been in the trroes of parking. They were to move Wednesday. This was Monday, and they had gone out to dinner because most or the kitchen things were packed and the whole apartment upset. Warren took his hat from the boy at the door and passed out, calmly unconscious of that youth's resentful start. "Never tip 'em unless they've got pockets," was his creed. He punned Helen through th revolving door, and for a moment they stood outside, gazing down Broadway with its myriad of flashing signs. "Which way? Want to go over and take a bu9 home?" "Let s walk up here a few blocks first," proposed Helen. "We don't have to go back yet, do we?" "No. we don't," assented Warren, heartilly. for he too, had visions of the disheveled apartment. "But I have talked about enough for one day. Let's go somewhwere where we can sit down. How about this? Want to go in here for a few minutes?" He paused before a place gay with 'highJy colored lithographs. "Admission 10 cents'' read the sign over the ticket window. A hugh bill-board stood out in front. "Today! The Out
law's Revenge!" A girl with a pink j
evening dress with flowing hair was bound to the track, while around a curve an express train came sweeping down on her. "Why Warren, this is a moving picture place." "Well, what if it is? Not too good to go to a picture show, are you? Some of them have mightl god pictures." Helen had, of course, seen moving pictures in vaudeville, but she had never been to the regular ten-cent, "movies." As Warren thrust his hand into his pocket and approached the elaborately coiffured and blondined lady at the 'ticUft window, Helen hastily drew him back. "Oh, dear, let's not go in here at. least tonight," apologetically. "Why not?" curtly. "Oh, I have read that they are so crowded. I am afraid it would be so close in there it is so warm and sultry, anyway." "Weil, what about an open-air place? Lots of them uptown." In a few minutes they were on the elevated speeding Harlem ward. Kven though Warren had only a general idea of where to go, they had little trouble in finding an out-door show. Helen was amazed at the size of the place. The whole of a vacant lot had been used. There were row afteT row of rough benches. At the end was a platform with the hugh white-sheeted screen, and a young man struming popular airs on a long-suffering piano. Evidently they entered just at the end of a wild-west sketch, for a group of cowboys were throwing a rope over a limb, while beneath stood a young man of the hero type) with his hands bound behind him. They were pulling the noose over his head, when through a cloud of dust in the distance two men and a girl came dashing along the mountainside. Jumping off their horses, the girl waved a paper, they ran up just in time. The hero's hands were unbound, the girl fell in his arms, and the picture flashed off the screen. "This way out! This way out! shouted the usher suggestively, hoping to make room for morenew-comers before the next pictures. Helen glanced around the audience with much interest. .Mostly women, few of them wearing hats. There were many children. Several baby carriages stood back against the fence.
Plainly people of the neighborhood-- ; choosing ibis way to spend a sultry; summer evening. The name and trade mark of the company and the notice, "This picture passed by the board of censors," was ! now flashed across the screen. The j title of the next sketch was "The: Banker's Son."

Health and Beauty Hints By Mrs. Mae Martyn
A. D. C: That itching and profuae dandruff plainly Indicate an unhealthy acalp, and when this condition 1 overcome your hair will take on its former richnesa and beauty. Shampooing occasionally with a teaspoonful of canthrpx dissolved in a cup hot water cleanses and invigorates the scalp and results in healthy, beautiful hair. This shampoo is very inexpensive and you will not only enjoy each shampoo, but the results will be very gratifying. Janet : You and your husband both can easily get rid of the surplus fat if you follow these simple directions: Get 4 ounces parnotis from your druggist and dissolve in 1 pints hot water; when it cools take a tablespoonful before each meal. This reduction method la gradual and positive in its action and does not depend on diet or exercise for results. The skin will be left firm and free from wrinkles.
Inquisitive: Your pimples and sallow complexion are caused by impurities in your system. Try this oldtime blood purifier and tonic and I am sure you will obtain excellent results: To 4 pint alcohol add 1 ounce kardene (from drug store then . cupful sugar and hot water to make a full quart. Take a tablespoonful before each meal and your skin will grow clear and the color of health will come back to your cheeks. This tonic is fine for aches and ills prevalent in cold weather and tends to cleanse body of poisons causing rheumatism and kidney and liver troubles.
complexion if you care enough to give it a little attention each day. I advise discarding powder and using a plain lotton made by ' dissolving 4 ounces spurmax (get from druggist) in V pint witch hazel or hot water, to which should be added 2 teaspoonfuls glycerine. This is easily applied, dries quickly and Imparts a delightful tone to the complexion. Especially good for oily, sallow skins and cannot be detected when on. Pearl: Your wrinkles might be caused in many different ways, but without regard to the cause. I am giving you a certain relief which my friends and I have proven. This Is inexpensive and is made as follows: Into Vt pint water, stir an ounce almozoin (from any druggist) and add 2 teaspoonfuls glycerine. Apply the jelly cream plentifully on retiring and massage well into the skin, then in the morning wash off and apply a little more. A few such treatments will soon clear the skin of wrinkles, reduce the large pores and give to you a velvety complexion.
Herma: I think all eyes are beautiful if clear and sparkling, and all eyes may be that if cared for properly. I put 2 o" 3 drops of my simple home-made tonic into each eye daily. When they are tired or the lids show any tendency to Inflammation. I use oftener or bathe entire eye and lids. To make the tonic I get an ounce of crystos at the drug store and dissolve it in a pint of clear, cold water. Annabell: To be sure, you can have a clear, velvety, pink-and-white
Clara M.: You can help nature beautify your hair by keeping your scalp perfectly healthy and free from dandruff or itchiness. Make your own tonic and massage a little Into the scalp and hair roots once or twice a week. I use l pint of alcohol, to which I add 1 ounce quinzein and 2 pint water. This quinzoin tonic soon pnts the scalp in a healthy, pliant condition, overcomes dandruff and oiliness and gives to the hair roots the strength necessary to produce a luxuriant growth of long, brilliant hair. Cora: Objectionable fuzzy or hairy growths are easily banished if yon mix enough powdered delatone with water to form a hick paste and apply to hairy surface for 2 or 3 minutes, then rub off, wash the skin and every trace of hair is gone. Excepting in very aggravated cases, one application of delatone is enongb. No harm will result, but be certain you get delatone. Read Mrs. Martyn'a book. "Beauty." $5. Advertisement.
LOS ANGELES, March 17. Little bits of girls in the sand below my windows here by the sea squat on their scuffed little heels, their hair swinging in Dutch-cut tassels 'round their fat cheeks (and they are so hard you can't make a pinch in them) and they build houses. Always houses. All day houses! With bits of shell and glass and seapolished pebbles.

could hardly walk
across the floor without holding; on to something. I had nervous spells and my fingers would cramp and my face would draw, and I could not speak, nor sleep to do any good, had no appetite, and everyone thought I would not live.
Some one advised me to take Lydia E. Tinkham's Vegetable Compound. I had taken so much medicine and my doctor said he could do me no good so I told my husband he might get me a bottle and I would try it. By the time I had taken it I felt better. I continued its use, and now I am well and strong. "I have always recommended vour
medicine ever since I waa so wonderfully oenefitted by it and I hope this letter will be the means of saving some other poor woman from suffering." Mrs. Martha Seavey, Box 1144, Unionville, Missouri. The makers of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound have thousands of such letters as that above they tell the truth, else they could not have been obtained for love or money. Thia medicine is no stranger it has stood the test for years. If there are any complications yon do not understand write to Lydia E. Finkbam Medicine Co. (confidential) Lyon, Mass.

Then the girl seeks detectives and implores aid. Detectives follow clerk. Finds him betting on the races. Clerk arrested confesses. Banker's son liberated. Touching scene father repentant, consents to wedding. "But, dear," whispered Helen. "Why don't they have some realistic stories? The pictures are so good. They are so steady and so wonderfully taken! But it is all so unreal." "Don't want realism in a place like this. Romance and meJodram is what they are after. Most of these people get enough realism at home. But I DO object to a hundred dollar butler in a thirty-seven dollar flat," as a
new picture now showed the interior of what was evidently a cheap Harlem apartment. A young woman seated self-consciously at the piano, while a solemn-
faced butler, who had graced a Fifth avenue mansion brought in the mail ami with a haughty dignity laid it on the cheap-looking table. "That's great," laughed Warreu. "Butlers go well with golden-oak installment house furniture! I will wasr this is supposed to be a millionaire's home -they are always a scream ! " And even Helen could not help laughing at The absurdity of a butler anions such furnishings. The next story was another Western story. More cowboys and pistols and galloping ponies, and the inevitable Western girl in her slouch hat, short riding skirt, and leggins. "Huh," grunts Warren, "if the automobile drives out horses, they will always breed 'em for moving pictures." And all the time the girl at the piano was grinding out pathetic airs or lively airs to suit the character of the scenes. Helen wondered how sh could keep it up, how long she had played that day, and how much longer she would have to play. Plainly the
management thought the music gave an atmosphere to the picture, and so it waa continuous. "Had about enough?" asked Warren. But just then there flashed on som scenes from India. "Washing the Sacred Elephants in the Ganges." "Oh, dear, I do want to see these. This is really wonderful.' So steady and clear were ihe pictures that one could see the sides of the hugh beasts rie and fall with each breath, as they lay patiently submissive while the half-clad natives crawled over them vigorously scrubbing their thick, creased hides. As they passed out Helen was enthusiastic in her praise of the last picture.

" 'Cause htey're not popular. These people want their emotions stirred."
"But in all these cheap melodramas the situations are so impossible! Why don't they have something real?" Helen persisted.- "Something that actually could happen?" "You had better write out a few senarics," sarcastically. "They bring big money fl ty dollars apiece." "Well, I think I COUT.D write something that would be more real than these hair-breath escapes," insisted Helen stoutly. "Just a simple story of everyday life I am sure it could be made more interesting, at least to women." "That is all very well in theory," scoffed Warren. "But these things have to be told by action. The action must, be darned obvious, too subtleties and psycology don't go. And there has to be something doing every minute. Guess if you had to write them for a living, you would be mighty
