Philadelphia society has been stirred
by the fact that Miss Morris, a grand

and descendant of some of Philadelphia's
oldest families, has returned from the

thrift Not Always Ugly
Women's dress is becoming more and
moTe discussed In connection with thrift
and economy. The growing popularity
of uniforms and the question of practica
bility of standardized dress for women
In business bring forward the question
whether clothing In wartime should be
cheerful or austere.
"Woman's dress may be the expres
slrn of an Instinct for dlsnlav and va
riety, but man in his attire Is the slave
of a standardized past," said Dr. Jes
sica elxotto, executive chairman of the
aepartment 01 cnna welfare of the
woman's committee. Council of National
Defense. "Certainly women's dress
should be cheerful I see no reaton why
thrift should sound the doom of the dec
oratlve. It has been said that la the
midst of the most severe torments
woman should keep her smile and that
continuous work. Whether you feel like
It or not, you have to be there ready
for your part. I have stood from 9
o'clock In the morning till 4 o'clock In
the afternoon with my make-up on wait
ing to take my part In one neenc. It
was a trivial part, too, but I had to be
there and I never knew what minute
the director might call me.
"In Denver, where I had my only ex
perience, I lived in a room for which I
paid $9 a month, and often I washed
my own clothes. Perhaps you can
Imagine what a iark' that would be !
"But, of course. It Is Interesting, and
I am going Into It with my whole heart
and soul because I'm determined to
make good. Motion pictures are wonder
ful things, more wonderful In many
naa, 1 tmnit, tnan tne legitimate stage,
technique is necessary. I believe the
best teacher Is practical experience.
You can't Imagine all the tiny details
the movie actress must learn. Move
ments Instead Of words must tell the
story to the audience, and these move
ments must be natural. But you have
to study this naturalness, because most
of the movements are different from your
normal ones.
"For Instance, If jou are going to
hand a letter to some one you must do
It with tho hand furthest from the
camera, even though that Is the left
hand, nnd It seems unnatural to jou to
use It. That Is to retain tho proper
perspective beforo tho camera. Without
showing It and without looking even for
an instant in tho face of the camera
you must constantly keep it In mind, be
cause the ramera portraj-s everything.
"If jou were enacting a tragic scene
and something funny happened the glint
of laughter In jfour ejes would be caught
by the camera and the picture spoiled.
On tho legitimate stage the audience
probably never would know that jour
eyes laughed for the fraction of a second
before you could again control them.
"A vampire? Well, no. I don't believe
I should ever want to plaj that role. I
truly believe that you mutt know life
beforo jou can portray It, and thit
particular role doesn't appeal to me."
The girl paused a moment to consider.
"I guess I'd really rather play tho out
cast. There Is a chance for versatility
tlure. You can bo tho bowery girl la
one bcenc and the gracefuilj' poised so
cletj- woman In another.
"I don't want to become hardened.
I hope Z shal nlwajs be human,
sympathetic and understanding, for, as
Stephenson has said, 'fame dies ana
honors perish, but loving kindness Is Im
mortal.' ,
"I'm not starting In to revolutionize
the movies, laughed the society girl.
"I don't expect to be a powerful force
for their uplift or to change them rad
Icallj". I do believe In clean, straight
pictures that give people refreshing
memories or help them to solve some of
their problems "
Miss Morris is resting for a few weeks
with the expectation of entering upon
her career in all earnestness this fall.
"I shall take the knocks and the dis
appointments along vvitn the encourag
ing tilings." she said. "I know this Is a
battle I must fight alone, but I know
"While a certain knowledge of stage that some day I shall make good."

10." You ouitht not to have to bay It
though, my dear, for no girls should

Sometimes under extraordinary clrcum

is the accepted time for him to leave.

I would not adv Ise you personally to
interfere In the matter, but your brother
should go to the young'-man and tell
him that he must explain what he meant
by the slurring remarks and Insults.
Are you sure there was 110 exaggera
tion? Sometimes remarks grow uncon
sciously, if the young man refuses to
explain himself and still saj's slurring

things about his fiancee, your brother
should make It his business to go to
your friend's father or brother and tell
htm what has been said about her by
the'man to whom she Is engaged. After
that do nothing further. Simply sea
that some member of her family who
has a right to hear It Is told, then keep
out of It altogether
MAIUON H. My dear, I am glad
jou wrote to me and I hope you have
not consented to do as tho boy suggests.
It would be decidedly wrong under the
circumstances. Tho fact that you ara
fr ends and see a good deal of each
other should tell j-ou by' very Instinct
that It would be wrong.
Such poses should only be copied in
an art class by a boy as young as he, If
It has been found that he has such
talent, never alone and secretly. The
relation of model nnd artist must be
Impersonal when It comes to posing as
you suggest, and It Is an unthinkable
idea for cither of j-ou.Ask j-our mother
about It. Sho will explain why It would
not do, dear. And be a little wary of
that boy's friendship. He should have
known better than to ask you.
