They had been expecting their Mary, but did not recognize her. Finally Miss Pickford singled out a diminutive cherub intimately known as Mousie, an especial favorite of hers, and picked the baby up in her arms. "Dat id /ooMawy Pitford," Mousie declared emphatically. You couldn't fool her with any kind of makeup. For more than half a century this institution has been caring for orphans, for thirty years the present building has towered above the city upon one of its highest hills, for si.x years the present Mother Superior, Sister Cecilia, has been watching with deepest love the welfare of the flock, and the live last years, since Mary Pickford has taken a personal interest in the children, have been the golden ones in the history of the home. What has she done? Ask rather what she has not done. She has had a hand in all matters that have contributed to the happiness of nearly three hundred children, ranging from toddlers to girls who have been taught some trade or profession and ready to go out into the world and be selfsupporting. Not only has Miss Pickford herself contributed to these things but she has interested other members of the California moving picture colony. It is -a little thing, perhaps, that the childern in this institution are not garbed uniformly. Little, but how big to the tiniest girl, the bow in whose hair is a little different in shape or size or color from that of her playmate. Nor are gay colors barred nor laughter nor any of the merry din of childhood. It is a little thing, perhaps, that the children are not all herded into one huge dining room for their meals, big, . little and medium at long tables like rabbits in a hutch, which is the customary way one imagines the eating arrangements at such places. The littlest ones have a little room of their own, with little tables, ?rom one right close to the floor for the babies, graduated upwards. .\nd in other rooms are served the larger girls and the girls who are neither little nor big but just in between. Moreover, illustrating the thought which is expended to make the children feel that they are not just peas in a pod, these small tables are not arranged in long rows in mathematical regularity, but there is a carefully studied disarrangement, breaking the long monotonous lines. And there are books from which the good Sisters read to little rapt audiences, and hours of play in the sunlight, and wash basins set close to the floor where the tiny ones can paddle to their heart's content and make toilet time a merry occasion, and the little hospital room, happily seldom occupied by anything more serious than a ■'tummy ache" or case of mild sniffles. Into all these corners of this hospitable home for homeless babes the presence of Mary Pickford has crept, and the love that ihe has given has been poured back upon her a thousand fold. ■'She never forgets anything,'' said Sister Cecilia. 'One day when she came to call on us she noticed that I was looking a little glum, and asked me what was the matter. I told her I had just received notice of an assessment for street improvement, $3,700 we were required to pay. I did not know where the money was to come from. T'll take care of it,' she said. A few days passed and I thought perhaps she had forgotten, because she is so very ! busy. But soon I heard from her about I it. She was organizing a benefit perfor Every advertisement In PHOTOPLAY MAGAZINE is guaranteed.
