, Are. you one. of those nice "homey sort of wives, who can; cook and keep Tioase to perfection, hut who is" not "so - keen on fashions or the ' beauty r parlor? OfV are you' one who can iook like a million dollars and dance r all the latest jazz steps, but whose ' idea of a hard day's work is to open a can of sardines? ... n. Well, if you are either of these, and " darling hubby wishes you were different, take him to see "So Long, 'Letty.- the- Robertson-Cole super-spe-cial picture which will be shown at "the Washington Theatre starting Thursday. Both of you will get a few pointers from this merry and amus- ' ing tale of two newly married couples. s Tommy was a strong healthy man who needed nourishment; but Letty was more concerned with the "dan- " sants" and the latest in gowns, than the was in domestic duties. As a resuit Tommy tried to exist on sardines, - crackers and tea-dust. . To make . Tommy more miserable, ' there lived right next door, dear little " Grade, whose long suit was cooking, '. and Tommy nearly perished every -tima the aroma of fried, chicken and gravy floated from Grade's window. But Grade's better half cared more for style "and class at least he 7 thought he did than the delicious f meals Grade humbly prepared for him. ' Each man sighed for the other man's wif e. Then a brilliant (?) idea came.

T ?T have, used, JCerv-Worth and can testify to its merits, said Mrs. Snyder. "For more than a year I have been in bad shape. My nerves troubled me very much.

I read statements in the paper from people who had taken NervWorth and been benefited, so I decided to give it a trial. I have just finished my second bottle, and I have improved wonderfully. I sleep good and eat heartily." You will find that Nerv-Worth will tone up your system, whet your, appetite, and do it quickly. Sold by, all druggists. Advertisement.

Mr. George to be his finest production, is -described by the reviewers as a photodrama of unusual strength and magnificent natural scenic effects, dealing primarily with the life of those rugged beings who inhabit the lumber-

lands of the North. - Throughout the entire run of the story there has been injected many intense, interest compelling dramatic moments, notable among them being two of the most realistic fights ever staged before a camera. ( In one of these two husky lumbermen, . one a vigorous upright FrenchCan id ian, meets in the open with only a big moon overhead and a carpet of beautiful snow beneath to witness the struggle. It is a battle to a finish in which the Canadian is victorious after having grappled fiercely for an hour. In the other fight a magnificent collie dog, "Jean," gives batUe to a villainous intrude? who would have attacked pretty Marion Hilgrade, played by Arline Pretty. Other prominent members of the cast are Thurston Hall, Anna Lehr, Jack Costello, Robert Agnew, John Adrizoni and T. M. Murphy. MURRETTE. One of the novelties of "The Sins of the Children" which is to be the special attraction at the Murrette, Friday and Saturday, is the sensational dance entitled "The Passions of the Four Seasons" performed by the famous Farisian danseuse, Mile. Holabar. This young Frenchwoman was secured by Harry Rapf, the producer of this picture, and brought to America a few months ago to take part in "The Sins of the Children." She is the

Are Women Naturally

Despondent? A prominent writer so claims. Women are constituted with a .delicate organism and in nine cases out of ten mental depression may be attributed to an abnormal condition of the system, which expresses itself in nervousness, sleeplessness, backaches, headaches, causing constant misery and as a result despondency. Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, a simple remedy made from roots and herbs, is the only great remedy for this condition. It goes to the root of the trouble and overcomes despondency.

daughter of a distinguished family of dancers, who since the days of Napoleon have been foremost among the great exponents of the terpsichorean art in France. Her mother, it wijl be

remembered, was the center of an almost tragic romance of a generation ago. . She was the daughter of a rich French nobleman in Lorraine. During the Franco-Prussian war she met a dashing young French officer who was wounded in a. skirmish with the Germans and was brought to her. fathers

castle. It was a case of love at first sight. - The young girl nursed the soldier back to life, and . when the soldier asked for the girl's band in marriage the father demanded to know who he was. "I am Francois Holabar, the dancer." All France knew the name, for Francois Holabar was as famous in his day as Caruso is now. The father refused, but the young girl secretly married the dancer, and went to Paris. Her brother challenged Halabar to a duel. The dancer proved to be best swordsman, and had the life of the young nobleman in his hands. Holabar gallantly gave the sword back to his opponent, and the two became fast friends. A reconciliation followed and when Lorraine was annexed to Germany in 1872 the father of the girl came to Paris and spent the last years with his daughter under the roof of the famous dancer Francois Holabar.
