The Child Fatty Toss Her I'npa Kittij Howe The Man She Admired Hank Mann Papa's Friend Peggy Pearce The Grouch Vin Moore Little Gwendolyn was just sixteen years old, but she resembled a young pachyderm more than a human being. Her disposition also resembled a young calf's and she loved to romp with father, who unfortunately was inclined towards anemin and only weighed ninety pounds. Father couldn't stand these gambolings and went out in the park to look for a mother for his child. Not being particularly attractive, he attempted to win by wits what he couldn't by beauty, and wrote a note to a lady sitting on a bench. This note contained belittling remarks about Hank, her escort. Hank unluckily got the note, but threw it away. It lit on the next bench where a prize fighter was talking with his lady friend. The prize tighter naturally thought the disparaging remarks were intended for him and went over to remonstrate with Hank. Meantime, little Gwendolyn's huge heart got to fluttering like a trip hammer and she went out in the park to look for a mate. Hank was the first speciman she encountered and she then and there decided he was her ideal. Hank tried to shake her but she wouldn't shake. Also her new found love made her frisky and she wanted to gambol about with Hank. Meantime, her papa had nearly landed a wife, when daughter breezed in with her 300 pounds, and ruined the match. Hank now decided this mastodon must be painlessly although surely murdered. In making the attempt everything went wrong. The cops were involved, papa was also revolved, and Hank got dissolved. After the unpleasantness had subsided, papa found he had no wife, Gwendolyn had no mamma or no Hank, and Hank had no girl. In fact no one accomplished auythins they had started out to d... HALF-MINUTE INTERVTEWS WITH QUEENS OF BEAUTY. While at Universal City and San Diego the sixty-one American Beauties were approached by the Moving Picture Weekly correspondent and asked to make brief statements for this publication. Many of them had nothing to offer other than that they were "having a wonderful trip." This is what the others had to say : Peggy Dolan of Newark. N. J., said she had had the time of her life and was loud in her praises of the management of the trip. "It couldn't have been improved upon, and the girls certainly have had a lovely time. Am I going into the movies? No: back to Newark for me. No place like home, you know." ^largaret Hague of New York could easily ha\e been numbered among the June brides, as proposals of marriage were received by her at Chicago, Denver and Los Angeles. "But I'm in no hurry to get married." she said, "and I couldn't think of breaking up i>ur happy party." Fay Kimmel of Leavenworth. Kans., kept the party in good humor all the time. The trip was one grand lark for this hapiiy Kansas beauty and the glooms kept out of sight whenever she was near. Dr. Edna Carver, who was the physician for the girls, said that Miss Kimmel was the life of the party, and it added to the joy of living to have her along. Mabel Nelson, of Salt Lake, said the most exciting part of the trip for her was when she was permitted to ride on the engine of the Beauty Special when it pulled into San Bernardino. Aunii Schrader, of Brooklyn, N. Y., cai)tured the hearts of half a dozen young men at various points along the line, and is carrying along with her a proposal of marriage from each one of the sextette.
