Requests for the. address of Mary pickford have come to the office. Address letters to 270 Riverside Drive, New York. I have great sympathy with the (housekeeper who complains that there jar days when even the frying pan and the broom are out of sorts and possessed with a desire to hamper her- In her work. . We of the screen know Just how she feels, for If a spirit of contrariness ever controls inanimate objects it is rlartir hatr In that studio. It looks some days as if the property arranged for one reel aeiiDerateiy creeps ori ana rsfe m1anlaMf whm wa.nted for a SHond appearance, and as if It were not enough to worry and namper tne airector and the stage hands, this same Mttla Inn nt Mmtr&rtnAea Intrudes in ha dvwaatnsr room, causes the brush to snarl up the hair it is supposed to straignten, niaes tne maae-up areaaea and IndneM the 1ar Of cold cream to fall to the floor with a smash. I think It begins with the weather. The director has given orders that we who are his human tools be prepared to go out on a location, which means a day spent in taking pictures out of doors. We are up earlier, feeling happier because of the order, and find jelouds and rain. A Veritable Bedlam, i This sudden change In plans doesn't jnake any one glad he is alive, and we retire to our dressing rooms, waiting (for a call to go on in a great big, noisy Studio, typewriters clicking In all the Ittle rooms bordering the big room In the center; carpenters tearing down the Italian villa of yesterday and using 'the pieces to make a backwoodsman's cabin to be used tomorrow; men shorting at their helpers and scolding at the boys; a hammering and sawing and scolding and shouting and a clicking of typewriters that combine to make a maddening roar, and there, with all that noise ingulfing us, to make love In a ray that causes young hearts to anticipate an1 old hearts to grow reminiscent; to do in a fashion that will bring tears, er to do something that will brin;; a laugh when we couldn't hear ourselves laugh although we had the.chest .power of Niagara. It Is very trying to concentrate under these maddening conditions, and we could not do as well as we do if It were not for a sense of humor. I think this trick of finding something funny la every situation Is one of the first lessons stage folks learn. There are discouragements to begin with; they must learn to laugh at them or they can never get on, and this laugh habit A 1.1- At .1. A iJiayB wuu mem iu iue ucu. 1 sullar ta the Profesaion. t X am quite sure that no other profession or occupation develops this sense .of humor as surely as the theatrical. One thing that convinces me is tho sight of the waiting room every mornling through which I pass on my way to t-mv ft ran sine- rnnin Thore are ' seats Jong the wall, and sitting in them are Mil men and old women who have seen kelr best days and who now must act iot to win fame, but to eat! The tragedy of their circumstances appalls me, ut I do not believe tney taite tne situation as seriously as I, for they sit nrV In their chairs and laugh heartilv It one another's jokes as if they reIgaraea me wait tor a cnance 10 earn (the day's bread as the rarest of witti'cisms. They are optimistic to a dangerous extreme. The touch of hunger today never destroys their faith in a ibanquet tomorrow. They are like eatger little children, and one would think to see their bright, interested eyes, that the call they are hoping for Is to understudy some star Instead of an obscure part given them largely from a sense of compassion. They learned well their lesson in laughing at difficulties, and I thank heaven they did. It is a fine thing to meet troubles and reverses bravely, end it is a finer thing also to laugh. The new philosophy that makes a sense of humor the crowning human trait is the kind that appeals to me. It seems to me parents should go farther than say "Don't cry" to their children. They should say instead, "L..ugh." . The child taught to laugh Is happier, healthier and brighter. Particularly Is good humor a matter of health if pressnt at one's meals. My mother never permitted any scolding, cross words, bad news or wrangling at the diningroom table. We did not always have the luxuries that we craved, but we were taught to eat what was served us with a merry contented spirit. An over-done steak or an under-done potato harms no one if a laugh goes with It. A laugh always went with ours. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. . To L. M.

them away for a month, then re-write and send out again. Columbia University, New York City, now ranks as the largest school In the world. I am making the statement to settle a controversy between two young men who write me from Glasgow, Scotland. - Naturaly. the news is not pleasing to their loyalty, but the figures of the enrollment at the opening of the school year in September prove it. "Heartbroken," a young girl in Cincinnati, makes me long to scold her. Hearts do not, break because a sixweeks' lover (she says he has been devoted six weeks) is paying attention to some other girl. ' Hearts of the kind this tired old world needs are braver and stronger than that. If "Heartbroken" will wipe away her tears and look around her, she will see that these are no longer the days when girls pine. They cheer up and learn to look on their disappointment as only another broadening experience.
(I HER HUSBAND'S WIDOW CHAPTER LI 1 1. He became suddenly conscious of the cruel irony of his tone. He flushed more deeply than before. 'I beg your pardon,"-he said. "If you are her father I don't wish to insult you. But if my suspicions are true as I'm sure they are good Heavens, man!" he burst out, regarding the other with a horrified amazement, "I wonder you don't shoot yourself!" "I may do that yet. my young friend" oberved the baronet grimly, resuming his walk. "Meantime you will give me credit, I hope for a certain amount of natural feeling. Whether Leslie is proud of me or not" he smiled ruefully "and I'm well aware eiie isn't, i don't want to do her an;- more harm than I have already done. "You and I, therefore, are talking to each ot'ier Just as friends of hers in her interest. "A great danger tnreatena her and her boy. That man Erdsley whom you collared at Maxim's found out that you and she were married. After the scene i at Wilton place I sent him to Egypt to j find out it there was any truth in your ' story. I did not believe that you had been previously married to Mrs. Melas, and, of course, at that time it was to my interet' to prove that you were lying. Well, Erdsley has come back. I have not yet seen him, but he has seen Leslie, and telis her that my suspicions i were correct that you were not mar ried in Egypt, at all events to Mrs. Melas or to any other woman." He looked at Victor. "Is that correct?" Leslies Fate Hangs on a Terrible "If." "I prefer not to answer just yet," replied the soldier. The baronet snrugged his shoulders. "So much the better. Now the position is this: Erdsley wanted Leslie to bribe him to keep silence tried to blackmail her, in fact. Unfortunately she not only rejected his proposal with contempt, but overwhelmed him with Insult pitched him in the water, and so forth." Both men smiled dryly. "I know Erdsley ," continued the baronet. "He is the most vindicative man alive, and whatever line I choose to take he will publish the fact of your marriage with my daughter far and wide. Leslie and her child must live all their lives in the shadow of this scandal unless" He stopped and considered Steele attentively. "Unless what?" demanded the soldier, hoarse with eagerness. "Unless you are prepared, in spite of Erdsley, to stick to the story you told at Wilton place. You must brazen It out and proclaim yourself that woman's husband. That is the only solution I can see." Victor bit his lips and atared blanklv before him. The frown grew deeper on his brow as he thought. . Sir Ralph walked up and down, smoking continuously, and every now and again shot a keen glance at him from beneath his heavy lids. Victor drew a deep breath. "You mean, I suppose, that I shall have to live with Mrs. Melas behave as her husband in all outward things let her call herself by my name?" - "Nothing less than that would disarm suspicion." "I see," Victor reflected. "And if I agree to that, do I understand you to mean that you- will leave Leslie and her boy in undisputed possession of the estates?",, "I thought I had1 .made that clear to youy Captain Steele.-1: am not a scrupulous man, but .there are things I bar, and one of them is fighting against my own daughter." '. And perhaps for the' first time in his life the baronet's dignified -manner implied a genuine dignity of soul. .Victor gritted his teeth. .."It'a a terrible thing you ask me," he coropalined "To you the scruple may sound strange but .. . . well, the woman t is not my wifo and I can't marry her in Leslie's lifetime. -v "Of cottrse,r he! admitted 1 dop't know that there's ' any moral law against going about with her and letting her call herself my" wife. Still . . ." he broke off, considered for a moment, then burst out passion
ately, "dont yem realise that rm la love with Leslie, that now Varney is dead I Cat my arms reaching oat to claim her? 'Hang ,tt all, man. do yon think ltcbMtwaiitogo.dwaV.y my grave knowing that ehe thinks Vm a scoundrel T" ? He raised himself and gripped the arm of hla chair. "Man, T shaU never forget those glances she gave ma that night at Wilton place. I tell you I could have cried out. I. stood toeing her I stood aside willingly that she might be happy but to forfeit her good opinion forever U a bit thick, I can tell yon. And; what about Jenny? Is it fair to her? c She loves me in her queer way. What a position for a man!" . "Bah!" said Gaveston contemptuously. "You have been In nasty positions before this.- Not worse' than clanking the Dervlshers chains for a couple of years, I should think. You are a soldier. , It Is roar business to. do disagreeable things, to hurt yourself and other people. That's what you exist for. I don't imagine tne Death-or-Glo-ry boys much liked their position at Balaclava."- The baronet thrust-' his hands into his pockets and faced Steele. "It's your duty to do this. If you had not made her . suppose you
were dead this would never have oc curred. You trapped her Into this mar rlage with Oswald. You must save her and her child, cost you what it may. Victor stood upright, his face averted, his Hps close 'pressed. "What about me?" asked Gaveeton derisively. "A poor old broken-down devil like me? It's not peasant for me to give up the certainty , of an estate worth $125,000 a year for the sake of a daughter who kicked me out of the house the other day' and calls me a murderer and a cheat. Why, If this comes easy to me, who never bothered about honor and duty, it ought to be child's play - to you. who've made a business of both ever since you put on your uniform." Steele stood rigid for a moment. He made a gesture of renunciation. "Very well," he said simply. "I will do my best. I will see what arrangement can be come to with Mrs. Melas." "She will consent, I suppose?" Inquired Sir Ralph anxiously. "That I cannot promise," said the soldier. : He reached for his . hat and walked toward the door. He stopped, his hand on the latch, and looked at the older man. "I wish I could believe you hadn't anything to do with that pistol business," he said, half regretfully., half wistfully. Sir Ralph looked at him blankly for a moment, then rushed. toward him and seized his hand. "I .' hadn't anything to do with It, man," he cried, then .meeting the other's steady gate his eyes lowered. "That is I thought the. pistol was discharged" He looked intently, eagerly into .Steele's, face. "You must not believeIi did It," he whispered. "Remember I'm her father! You are a young man,1 I'm. getting to be an old one. The time may come when she she may ask you about this. Man, I tell you I love that girl I Don't let her think I killed him. It was an accident. Hang It all, how could I know it. would kill him when it went off? A silly- thing to. do If you like, but you'll tell her, won't you, I didn't do it?" Victor would. "All right," he said. "If I ever get the chance; If I think it will make her happier 111 tell her that It was an accident. Good-night, ycu may rely on me to stick to that story, cost me what it may." j He went heavily down the rickety I stairs.

I heard yon were on your way back." said Sir Ralph, taking the armchair Victor had just vacated. "I heard, It from Mrs. Varney. ' Erdsley changed color. "The deooe you did! What lies has she been tell ing you?" "Oh. she dldnt teU me any lie. Only that yon tried to blackmail her rand succeeded In putting you on her guard against us." "Oh. that be hanged for a tale! I wanted to get what I could out of her and should have helped you to get hold of the estate all the same. -Any how, it's all right. She was Steele's wife, not Varney's. There never was a marriage between Steele and Mrs. Melas, as she calls herself." The baronet put up a warning finger, "I know better," be said.
