Teudv. — Great guns! Has it coniu t*i this? \'ou want to know how I wash tiiy face. I'll tell you a secret, if you wont tell. I never wash it. I let my heard grow on it, and that hides everything. There is no way of telling; you must be tried out before the camera. McNuLTY.^AIl right.
LuziE D. — That was a sad case. Nothing makes ladies who have been "attractive" more ridiculous than to forget that they are no longer so. They are coquettes Iiy profession. If the}' only knew that they arc just as attractive in their forties and fifties without trying to apl»ear youthful !
Tkixik. — Stuart Holmes has been playing in "But Yet a Woman" with Doraldina in the lead, taken from Carey Wilson's storj "The Passion Fruit."

NaT;\lik. — Lou Tellegen is in New York City now. No indeed. Eugene O'Brien likes the ladies. "Suds" ended with Mary Pickford sitting on the laundry steps. Very well, thanks.
BoiiBiE. — Your letter was very interesting, but .\ou will find your answers elsewhere.
Mks. K. H. M, F-.\kgo. — I will have to open a Woman's Ueparlmeiit. I cannot tell you why it is that a woman likes to he called a duck or a ducky, but not a goose. And a chick or chickie. hut not a hen. A bird vision, but not a ghost ; a lamb, hut not a sheep. Funny creatures — yes. Eileen Percy in "Beware of the Bride."
Irish Stew; Melikem ; Frances:' — Your letters were very interesting. Do write to me again.
Blanche R. — I wish I could tell you the life history of Gloria Swanson and Thomas Meighan, but why clutter up this department with biographies? Yes, "Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes" should become very popular now.

ToTo Mae. — Dont be a fool! Fashion is a lickle anri misleading jade. She is the willu'-thc-wisp that leads us, step Ijy step, to the quicksands of financial ruin. It is nice to be well dressed, but folly to he overdressed. Why dont you learn to save. Charles Meredith is in New Y'ork City. Sorry I cant help you. So you didn't care for Carol Dempster in "Scarlet Days." Why?
Marie H. — Xo. I rlidn't .scratch the hair off of my head by answering questions. Money may be the root of all evil, but I have always said, give us plent}' of the root.

Chakitv. — .So you dont believe in handshaking, but it brings two people closer together. Kissing is shaking hands with the lips, and brings people still closer together. ^^'ell. Emerson says nothing is old but the mind, and believe me. mine entertains some pretty young ideas.
Dot-Dash. — Very glad to hear from you.
RubY T. — Thanks for the fee. Henry G. Sell was Tom in "The Lightning Raider." If you see Hope Hampton in her new picture
(One hundred and three)

G. G. N. — Get your pictures direct from the players, but be sure you pay for them.

Vera D. — Well, I have often mar\eled tn see what pains women take to catch men and how very little they take to hold on to theuL Perhaps it is because our ladies devote more attention to external decorations than to internal impro\'ements. Nothing personal. Vera. Edward Earle is playing with Dor.aldina in "The Passion Fruit."

ARTHUR B. REEVE
.^e American Cof lan Doyle ..-,: ^j
He is the detective genius of our age. Ue has taken science — science that stands for this age — and allied it to the mystery and romance of deteLiive fiction. Even to the smallest detail, every bit of the plot is worked out scientifically. For nearly ten years America has been watching this Craig Kennedy — marvelling at the strange new startling things that detective-hero would unfold.
Such plots — such suspense — with real, vivid people moving through the maelstrom of life!
