THANHOU8ER-MUTUAL GLADYS HULETTE LOOKS OUT TO SEE IF THE WEATHER IS FINE. Six o'clock in the early dawning, and Gladys Hulette is looking to see if the day is fair. It takes her fifteen minutes to get into her crimson sweater and a fetching little crimson cap and a short brown tweed skirt, and out she trips for her morning walk on the smooth roads outside of New Rochelle, N. Y. Miss Hulette doesn't believe much in nerves or temperament. Her pretty little head is crammed with plain common sense — the variety that calls for long walks, much living in the open air, simple foods, unostentatious gowns and plenty of earnest work. "That's what puts color in your cheeks and punch in your work, " she says. "Temperament is all right for press notices, I suppose; but it is a dreadfully unpleasant article to live with — so I bar it." Miss Hulette is a Thanhouser girl. Besides that, she is a pretty girl. Shadows on the Screen By LOIS ZELLNER Think of a baldheaded row to-day, Sitting in front of a sheet, With daring side glances Applauding the dances, With comment on ankles and feet. The beauties divine that appear on the scene, Alas ! are but shadows thrown out on a screen. Think of grand op'ra with never a note, With never a voice to be heard, With Carmen coquetting And false loves begetting, And nobody saying a word. The great prima donna in Spain's lovely scene Is only a shadow thrown out on a screen. Think of the stars we used to see, Red-blooded heroes of might, Now celluloid strips Held in place with tin tips That respond to the flicker of light. Alas ! all these stars from Olympus once seen Are now only shadows thrown out on a screen. l'envoi No shouting, clapping, loud acclaim, While tense he feels his heartstrings grip; Approval now for stars is tame — ' ' Passed by the board of censorship. ' ' New Use for Pies Little Ethel ran breathlessly into the house and asked her mother for thirty cents. "What do you want with thirty cents?" asked her mother. ' ' ' Cause Tommy's got thirty cents, and he knows where we can get pies for ten cents apiece. So you see, mamma, if I get thirty cents, and he's got thirty cents, we can get six pies." "Six pies!" the mother exclaimed. "Why, you children would be sick for a month if you were to eat six pies!" ' ' We don't want to eat 'em, " Ethel explained. ' ' We want to play Keystone comedy." m Change in the Measure Cobb — When that actor was courting his wife, he used to give her a bushel of kisses in front of the camera. Webb — Yes ; now she receives a small measure.
