Requests for tbe address of Mary Plckford have come to the office. Address letters to 270 Riverside Drive, New York.
: Mr. Griffith took his company to
California one winter. In this companywere Mable Normand, Blanche Sweet, Mae Marsh, Mack Sennett, Jemos
Klrkwood, Gertrude Robinson, Owen Moore and myself.
We were a very gay party, baring a private car to ourselves. When New
Year s came, Mr. Griffith saw no re a
son why we ahouftl not celebrate as .merrily as If we were in a brilliant
cafe, made gaudy by holiday decora
tions and hilarous by songs, accompanied by all sorts and conditions or tin horns. .He hired the dining car after the I other travelers were finished, and we were Invited to - a wonderful spread. I Never have I sat down to a gayer or ia more .luxurious banquet i nor have I 'ever had a happier New .Year's Bve. A Clever Comedienne. After the dinner was over, we stagled, a movlng-plcture comedy, and it ,was then we realised, almost for the first - time, what a wonderful comedienne Mabel Normand was. She had : been playing ultra-seriously In dramas. ! Became she was dark and the representative type of villalness. she was
made to play the flashing-eyed crea
ture of temperament whose very looks were jstilletoes In your heart ' and whose morements. undulated like a oake crawling through' the brush. The Oousanda who have laughed with her on the screen in her last few years of comedy perhaps have forgotten her as a heavy woman. Reverse conditions occur In, many instances where the careers of makers of comedy have been cut short to transform them into- double-dyed tragedians). We danced and sang, and at last we decided that we would share our merrymaking with the rest of the train. So we filed through the coaches, wishing every one a happy, new year and
singing In uncertain quartets all the
old song which, are the symbol ox the departing year and the advent of a
new one. A Discordant Note. Every one In the train seemed to ) Join In with our festive spirits except 1 two old spinsters, who looked at . us I askance over the tops of their spectacles. .They said, In a shrill, audible whisper: "Them actor folks are glttln' gayer 'n gayer! It's morex apple cider they're been drinkln'." Of course this amused us all and mdrrldnally we passed to wish them a happy new year. They did not realise that happiness
The Sandman Story 'V;-;r;;Tbnight::;
is Just as Intoxicating as the bubbles
in wine, and that when one has youth
and success seems such a little way
off it Is all the stimulus one needs.
When the train stopped at a small station, we all scrambled out and sent New Year's Eve telegrams home to
our families. Mother, Lottie and Jack were in New York at that time and loneliness surged over me as I signed "Mary" to a telegram brimming with, love and good wishes. Blanche Sweet and I talked long Into the night about our plana for the future. She was as ambitious as I and as she Is so pretty, there was not
& doubt but . that she would una tne
pot af gold that lies at the end of the rainbow. She Is so fair her hair la al
most silver blond, and her hands are as beautiful as those of Mona Lisa.
These trips across the country are
always enjoyable when we have a hap
py company, and, as a rule, we are like one large family. The last few of these, . mother haB always traveled with me, and her wing Is broad and
protecting enough to spread over all the motherless girls who are trawl
ing with us. :7 Where there is a harmonious com
pany, the results will always be the beet of pictures, for there are then no potty Jealousies to make a jarring
note.
Once noon a-Alme Were lived a Httle
boy named Hans. - His father was dead
and he Uvea alone with .bis mother,
who was very poor -r ;;
One day a rich farmer stopped at
the. door of 'their house .while ' Hans
was .away, on- an en-andV .The farmer
asked Hans' mother - for ; , a . drink of
water, and, seeing a pan of doughnuts
standing' on the table, riot rrom the kettle, he. asked for one of these, also;
Can .you cook everything as well!
as yon -can doughnuts?' asked the far
mer, woo . ate until he bad finished all in the pan.
"Alas, -I can cook, bat of what use is that If I have no -more flour- and no money with which to buy it. I am very poor." "Come with me," said the farmer, "and if you can make pies and bread as well as you can doughnuts, I will marry you, and you 'shall live inoomfort 'all your life. But If you had a son, no matter how well you could cook and bake, I would not marry you, for I do not like children, and boys are of
no account; I would not have one in
my-house.
Hans' mother was aoout. to repiy
that he could go his way;, that she
would rather have her son than have
him for a husband. But she thought of the long cold winter that was before
them and was silent.
8o she rode away with the farmer
leaving a note for Hans, telling him to
be a good boy and that she would be
home In a day or two.
' The next day she spent In proving to the farmer that she could cook, and he was so pleased that he married her
"While you are eating what is in the basket." Hans told him, T "wfll tell your wife how to make the cakes and cookies you' like best." : '."-:.,.
Hans went into the pantry with his mother, who hugged htm for joy and then began to cook such cakes and
tarts and. cookies that the farmer said they were even better than those made
for the king and that he would never
say again that boys were of no use.

Miss Nellie 8., Glenville, 111.: One of the cleverest little amateur performances I have ever seen, . which provoked much mirth, was a satire on the
moving-picture" drama. It was all done In pantomime, of course, which gives a great opportunity for active acting. If it is done quickly. It can be made very humorous. Of course, the old melodrama Is the funniest hi pantomime. The only difficulty in getting comedies is that they are generally copyrighted and it Is) pretty expensive to buy the rights to produce them. I understand that if .you write to Messrs. Dick sV Fit sgerald, 18 Ann street, New Work city, you can get a list of comedies and dramas for amateur performances. '.. :',;'.::'

PECULIAR ESCAPES FROM DEATH TOLD DY WAR VETERANS VIENNA, Jan. 1. Prof. Dr. I. Hofer, chief, surgeon of one of the Austrian army corps, at the last meeting of the Vienna, Medical society reported a number of remarkable escapes of officers and soldiers struck by bullets or fragments of shells. Major General Felix, while directing battle on the eastern front, was stunned by a violent blow against his chest. The general dropped to - the ground for a moment, and when he regained his senses he found that a rifle ball bad smashed the iron l cross on his breast. . His life was
i saved by the iron cross and a lar.re ' silver coin which he carried in his breast pocket. Baron Madalaky, a captain of one of the Austrian reserve cavalry regiments, was saved by a large roll of bank notes. He did not even know that ho had hern hit until, several hours after the battle, he found a flattened bullet embedded in his torn roll of money. While I.ieutennnt Traeger of the Ninety-ninth Austrian infantry regiment was observing one of the Russian positions in Gallcia a bullet tore his spyglass from -his hands and his eyeglasses from his nose, but he was unhurt. Joseph Swcroneck, a corporal of the same raiment, was struck by fourteen bullets from a Russian machine gun, but in the hospital tbe surgeons found that one of his - wounds was dangerous. He' recovered ' completely in less than three weeks. .' On the Isonzo front, Franz Hagerer, a' Tyrolean soldier, was shot in the chest ami within four weeks returned : to the firing line. That he escaped i alive be owes to the lucky fact that the mus-cleB of his heart , were-In a state of contraction - when the ; bullet 3truck him. A,: fraction of a second later, at the expansion of the heart. He would have been killed instantly. BRITISH TROOPS LAND. 77
TRY TOLSTOI MEN ON TREASON CHARGE
BERLIN, Jan. 1 (By Sayville Wireless) The Milan ( Italy) Secclo reports that British trocps have landed in Greete tsear Kavala," according to the Over-res News -Agency. A Kavala is ninety miles es.st of Salonika by the land route and twenty milesfrcm the Bulgarian frontier.
MOSCOW, Jan. 1. A curious and interesting case has Just been concluded in the Moscow law courts. It had to do with the investigation of a cer
tain group of followers of the late
Count Tolstoi, the party. being charged
with the issuing of a manifesto against Russians joining the army or taking any part in the great war. Those per
sons contend that were the great To!
stoi alive he would have opposed tooth
and nail the prosecution of such a war
on humanitarian grounds and would
have anathematized all who took part
in it. .
Some prominent men are among the accused. They indude'Dr. Makowlch, the late author's medical adviser; M. Bulgakoff, Tol6toi's late secretary and Leshenko, who was' once arraigned in court for presuming to carry off some
of Tolstoi s most cherished private pa
pers with a view of disposing of them
in foreign countries.
COFFINS FOR BEDS
VIENNA, Jan. 1. Near Csartorysk,
where the Russians have been trying
for months to break through the ring
of iron drawn around them by the Germans and Austrians a company of
the "Kaiserjaegor" a famous Austrian regiment, recently found itself flooded
in th etrenches. Scouts reported that
the nearest. Russian trenches' were perfectly dry. and its was decided to take thorn. Within fifteen minutes the Russians were thrown out of their po
sitions and put to flight. . ? .
When the Austrians -started . to es
tablish themselves in the conquered
trenches they found about thirty coffins filled with. 'shavings. The coffins
cad been taken -from a nearby town by- the Russian ' soldiers and were used
as b '2s ' in .thes Frenches. - The ' Austrians promptly put . them .to the same use and. found sleep in them far more
comfortable- than : on - the i bare, cold

Krellin -measured the younger man with a mental eye of cool , dislike. "Yes! Have you any other?" The boy came forward, brandishing the tell-tale bag. He felt suddenly shut put of Hildegarde's life, and infuriated by the thought that her friends in the model tenement were bound to her by a community of interest he
could : not share. "I want to know where my wife is; and I want to know why you're telephoning mv friends!" KRELLIN BRUSHES THE YOUNG MAN ASIDE. "Because I won't- let your friends treat my Emmy the way you let them treat your wife!" "Don't you interfere between Hildegarde and me! Because if you do. I'll" began Lwrence with an air which be took for brave dignity, but which Krellin brushed aside as one of mere bravado with a quiet reply. "I don't mix in with you. I have my own score to settle with Mr. Knolys and his wife." 1 "Krellin, I advise you to leave Mr-
Knolys out of it," returned Lawrence seriously. "Ah, you are afraid, eh?" Lawrence hesitated a moment. He had, during the long hours of the afternoon gone through a period of shamed reaction. When a man kisses a woman because she has kindled in him a sudden fierce desire, his feeling burns out ' in a brief flare that leaves the deadest of ashes of it turns to a wild
conflagration burning on toward the goal of other kisses. And Lawrence
knew only dust and ashes
He was capable of nothing so ele
mental as a love that did not reckon.
8nd all the anger into which Caroline Knolys was driving him swung him in a balance that had never more
strongly veered toward his wife.

"But I have a plan that t think will Caroline and even for hltaelfv since
reconcile him to having a boy in tne
house," she. told Hans.. .
Take this basket and come to the
farmer's house, ask for a night's lodging, and say that In payment you will give the farmer some of the dainties from the basket which you are to
take to the King."
Brieht and early the next morning
Hans started for the farmer's ,hou$e.
and as the eun was setting he knocked at the door and asked to be allowed to spend the night. '
"No," said tne iarmer, wno ains-w-er-
tri tne knock. "I will not have a boy in1
my house, even over night. Boys are of
no use." ' . "But I will be , very quiet," replied Hans, "and will make no trouble, and In payment I will give you some of the good things I have in my basket for the King." .... ..".
Let me have a look," saia tue iar
mer, '.lit ling tne cover, ana, ww iic saw the crisp looking tarts and the frosted cakes and cookies and cream-
puffs and little seed cakes he longea
to taste them. " ' .
"Tome in " he told 'Hans, "it you
will sit in the corner and not bother me you may stay."
Then Hans gave him one -or.: eacn
kind of the cakes and cookies, and the farmer liked them so much that he asked his wife to try to make some
like .them. ' ' ' But try as she would she could not make any to taste as those Hans had in hit! haRket.
- The farmer: wanted more than ever

Hans if he would find out tne seven
he Mould arive him a nome.
Hans went back to bls nome ana ate all the good things himself, wondering all the time what he should tell the hrmr when he returned, for he bad
not the slightest idea of how the dake and cookies were made. The next morning his mother appeared with more dainties of different kinds. "Bring these with you." she told Hans, "and tell the farmer you have brought these as-a present and that you also have the receipt for making all." Again Hans started for the .farmers house, and this time the farmer was waiting-at the'dortr for him.; When he saw the basket on Hans' arm he began to smile and rub his 'hands together In anticipation of what was in store for him.
it was . he who had' brought her Into their once peaceful and happy little circle. ' And now he stumbled around In the morass of his feelings trying to
pick out a few words mat would convey ' enough and not too ' much to Michael Krellin. "Oh. I am not afraid for myself it
isn't that. I mind you talking to Mr.
Knolys but what good win it dorr Krellin started toward him with a sudden bitter ; violence. "So! You too! That woman has' made you believe that Emmy I don't wonder Mrs. Knolys thinks all women are like she is!' r'' i . .
A sudden - gust of laughter , shook him. ' A sense of humor was his fetish and yet he had almost reen sufficient
ly earnest over Mrs. Knolys to forget that she was merely an object for his scornful mirth and not for his serious
consideration. So In the face of Larry's impotent rage he went on very quietly, "All the more am I determined now." ' Young Sanbury was quite at.- his wit's end. To cope with situations was
utterly beyond him. "There'll be an awful mix-up. I don't know what to do!" he cried. - And of a sudden it came . to him that Hlldegarde would have known what to do that always he had counted on the fact that Hildegarde's judg
ment was sane and that he could
guide his life according tp it always. until Caroline Knolys had given him
a strange beacon by which to steer,
Krellin . never could understana a
man like Lawrence sanoury a man must always retain a boyish quality
to make a good woman want to moth
er him and bad women desire to Bee
what manner of man this boy may
grow to be. ' Krellin was the type oi man on whose strength a tired woman might ' lean. And the abjectness of
Lawrence s pose woxe . mm to siow
scorn.
"Don't think that I don't know why vou're afraid of Mr. Knolys. It isn't
business It isn't Emmy it's YOU.
I'm ashamed of you. You'd let his lie rest on Emmy's shoulders rather than have the truth revealed about yourself. I understand you; of course you don't want the truth to come out. But you
see I'm different. I don't fear the
truth. And if your conduct with Mrs. Knolys cannot stand her husband's or your wife's invest! gation I am sorry. " That is all." Michael, unafraid of the truth which he tcok to be a lie, and Larry, bitterly afraid of lie which others might be
lieve to be true, faced esch other. Neither of them guessed what a difficult road they must travel that night. Each one thought he must adjust himself to dangers that had been encountered on a path already traversed. "Get that idea out of your head. Michael: I don't fear the truth. It ts Hlldegarde I'm thinking of, and only Hlldegarde," cried Lawrence. Scorn met him. "You thought so much of her theft last four months!" Lawrence looked up to meet the cold accusation in the other man's , eyes and there were haggard lines on

on and Hildegarde stood by me. Thats
why. you can't. go on and spoil things now by dragging Mr. Knolys In." 7 ., 7 Is that so!" Interrupted Krellin,
and-his voice fairly thundered, for he had suddenly become primitive . man to whom nothing In all the world ia so
dear as "the honor of his women...
He walked to tbe door and delivered
his ultimatum' with, unanswerable
finality that left Lawrence snore de

ever, -hp matter waat n com you or anybody else, well - make Mrs. Knolys eat those lying words she said about my Emmy.. So." - Lawrence stood still In utter per plexlty futile were anything he sjoulel do. and yet he mast have some means

words which never could be spoken It their effect could be measured by via
