10 Life's Problems Are Discussed BY MRS. WILSON WOODROW There are ways and ways of mak ing a living. I heard the other day of a man who does it by transform ing "flivvers" into the semblance of high-power racing cars, lie is liable to .do this because he possesses con siderable ingenuity and a rather high order of mechanical skill: and since he makes a specialty of it, devoting all his time and thought to the prac tice. he turns out an article which on ordinary inspection would de ceive any one but an expert. Kirst he obtains his "flivver." it matters not how old and decrepit end second-handed a specimen so long as the engine will turn over and the price is under a hundred dollars; then by a bit of clever manipulation he lowers the chassis and attaches a rim to the wheels which calls for a heavy tire. test is merely an assembling of suitable junk. He builds up fore and aft. runs an exhaust pipe out at the side, puts a couple of bucket seats in the center, adds a heavy steering post—the one he used in a recent creation was a piece of dis carded brass railing from a ship— T>aints the whole thing a battleship gray, and 10, he has a machine which looks as if it might serve' Barney Oldfleld to break a record. His total investment, labor includ ed, is probably less than two hun dred dollars and he has no difficulty in selling all the cars of the sort he can turn out to the human "fliv vers" who compose his clientele. The only difficulty, he mourns, is that his customers don't match the cars. The cars present a nearly com plete illusion of being the real thing: his customers can't disgilise their "flivver" qualities. • . Nature Is a Master Hand at "Camouflage"' And that, by the way, is one of the great distinctions between man and the rest of creation. Nature is a master hand at "camouflage." She employs a thousand clever illusions and deceptions to aid and protect the brute and vegetable kingdoms. The tiger's black and yellow stripes can hardly be distinguished from the dry reeds among which lie crouches. The lion's tawny coat blends with the .sun-baked veldt,* and the polar bear's whiteness with Arc tic snows, thus tending toward a "low visibility": while the chameleon changes to match every new envl ronment.

As for the plants, they were de ceivers ever. Their "camouflage" is brilliant color and enticing perfume, and they cajole the bees and the birds and the butterflies into serving them; -fc-hile the devices they employ for self-protection and for supplying themselves with food are legion. The most edible mushrooms so strongly resemble the deadliest of the toadstools that it takes an expert to tell tlieni apart. The traps that certain varieties of the pitcher plant lay to catch insects are as cunning as anything that the most diabolical imagination could invent. Tlic Ostrich Has Human Prototypes. The fox is an adept at trickery, i The opossum will sham death per ! feetly until he gets a chance to bite you. Nature is an artist: her "cam ouflage" is always effective with one exception, the ostrich. Its idea of creating the illusion of invisibility is to bury its silly head in tho sand, and leave its great, feathered body stand ing out against the horizon. It has many human prototypes. Camouflage: Camouflage! This word, which is on everybody's tongue, supplies a long-felt want. It does npt signify crude deception, nor 1 brazen bluff, but. the creation of a delicate and artistic illusion to mask certain stark and disagreeable facts. I met a pretty actress on the street but yeserday. She looked like the radiant and care-free heiress of mil lions, so simple and yet so exquisite ly gowned. Hat, frock, shoes, gloves, furs, all perfect. "My word!" I exclaimed. "Uncle in Australia must have died and left you a hundred thousand pounds." "It's my camouflage," she said. "I'm 'at liberty.' my dear, and mak ing the round of the managers. I've got to show that I know good clothes and how to wear them." I admired a very beautiful and un usual screen which adorns a corner in the workshop of a friend. "Camouflage," she laughed, and, moving it aside, showed me an im provised kitchenette and shelves of dishes. Camouflage Xcoded in Love and War In both love and war camouflage i is indispensable. It is as necessary to the one as to the other. Its im- j portance in the present war is shown j by the fact that the government is j enlisting: a company of clever artists , and stage directors, whose sole dutyj will be to deceive the enemy byj painting cannon to represent fallen; logs, and by masking a hidden bat-, tery or the passage of troops with | canvas scenery cunningly devised to j present the continuation of a street j or road. All pose is in a way a camouflage. And each profession or calling has! its settled, accepted pose. It is an ! amusing game to sit in an assembly of people and guess at the occupa tions of those around you from their I appearance and manner. The man | ner of the doctor is either suave and i sympathetic or brusque and rather | severe. The banker is frigid and somewhat repellant. And the clergy man Is either unctuous and benign or austere and ascetic. The amenities of life are just *as necessary as Its stark sincerities. And life would be a graceless thing ' indeed if it were not for its camou ! flage. Its charming illusions cannot Ibe sufficiently extolled: but they i should never be confused with crude j and stupid deception. We Cannot Improve on Nature I The people who use camouflage ; recklessly are the ones who imagine j they can fool all of the people all, the time. The pigmy who manages i to gain possession of the giant's robe and fancies he can deceive the world into taking him for the giant, the donkey masquerading in the lion's skin and dreaming that his bray will not betray liim, are excellent exam ples. They belong with the small boy | who, having been forbidden to go ! swimming, comes home with a tell- I tale wet head and a story of having | been thrust under the pump by cer j tain evil companions. In the matter of camouflage we j cannot improve upon nature. She is past mistress of It. Having in j vented our necessary but unlovely i skeletons, she immediately distract |ed attention from them with the I camouflpge of flesh. Is there a blank I wall, an unsightly ruin—she wreathes j them with vines. Is there a wilder ness —she makes it to blossom like the rose. Kven the desert she in | vests with the glamour of atmosphere i and wonderful color. ! Camouflage is the caper sauce on i the custard pie, the sugar coating on the pill, the handwich boards of illu j slon on the ugly facts of life. Getting Too Fat ?

All's Well That M Ends Well BY JANE MTjEAN There were five of them—wisps of Georgette crepe and lace, all dainty, all fragile and expensive looking and all carefully hung on sacheted hangers made of soft satin. Edna Marshall loved them beyond anything in the world. She really did not realize, herself, how high! a value she placed upon them; but : she sacrificed more than money, she ' sacrified time and peace of mind, in'' order to possess them. . I Since it was the fashion to .wear j crepe waists with suit skirts to the! little bridge parties and luncheons' in tho neighborhood, it was abso lutely necessary for a woman in' Edna's circumstances to possess one > or two fiice ones. But Edna wanteti | more than two. She coveted them, and spent every cent she could rake together on new waists. They had lately become the vogue f in the little town where Edna !ind I her husband lived. Before then it' had been thought proper to wear I gowns, and of course gowns werej still popular. Shirt waists had never been looked upon as dressy; enough td wear for any occasion at j all fashionable. And then had come the vogue oft the Georgette waist, filmy and se-. ductive, and some one from the city j had appeared at a function in a skirt and waist. That had seitle.l i it for every woman in the neighbor- 1 hood, and the Emporiifm, the larg- j est dry goods store in the place, had | been forced to place an order with a house in Cincinnati, for all the wo- j men wanted them. Started With One. Edna Marshall began with one, - and she wore this so often that it! quickly became too mussy looking.! So she saved out of her housekeep-i ing money enough to buy another, j She very suddenly began to discard! and to look with disfavor upon her. other waists, and unless she was| garbed in lace and Georgette crepe; she did not feel comfortable. She knew that she had no busi ness to buy so many, but when thej second order arrived from the cityi the first two waists that she hadj purchased seemed somehow lacking; in freshness, and shee bought, two ! more. She had intended to buy only! one, but there had been a canarv colored one in the collection, and, j so far as she knew, no one else pos- i sessed one in that shade. Then she; really needed the white, and so she: bought both. "I really oughtn't to," she had' demurred to the anxious saleslady. I "Why don't you open a charge ac count?'' suggested that wily person. | And Edna had succumbed to temp- j tation, only to buy still another | waist before the month was out. i Fashions of To-Day - By May Manton t Real comfort is bespoken by this simple garment. It means warmth no matter how much the little wearer may thrash about and it means freedom, too. In the picture, it is made of domet flannel and it is de signed for real cold nights, but you could use the pattern for any material that is liked for children's sleeping garments, also you can cut off the feet and use straight legs if you prefer, but most mothers will like the stocking finish because it means cozy toes even on a Winter night. Outing flannel makes good night drawers of the sort and there is also an unshrinkable wool flannel that is desirable, but, as a matter of course, somewhat more expen sive. For the milder weather cambric and muslin and of such sort are desirable. For the 4-year size will be needed, 3% yards of material 27 inches wide, yards 36. The pattern No. 9576 is cut in sizes from 2to 6 years. It will be mailed to any address by the 176 Child's Night Drawers, 2to 6 Fashion Department of this years.

That brought her bill up to over fifteen dollars for finery, and she dreaded to have Joe see it, even while she knew there was no way out. Besides, she argued to herself, . oc was making plenty of money; why shouldn't she have them? •Toe Bisapprovcs. Joe looked boyishly tired that night when he came home to dinner, and Edna had a particularly nice dinner for him, with several of the things that he liked. She wanted to make a good impression, and :he bill from the Emporium lay con spicuously beside his plate. He saw it almost immediately. Joe almost never, had bills. He did not approve of them, and paid for all his own things in cash. "What's this?" he said quickly. "Oh. it must be .the bill from'the Emporium." Edna said innocently. "They coaxed me to open an ac count there, and I needed some things, so I did. I didn't think you'd mind, Joe." Joe was opening the envelope, but he looked up to say decidedly. ' 1 do mind ( I don't want you to charge anything after this. If you need the money come to me and I'll give it to you, but never charge any thing again." Edna pouted. "Oh Joe, they all do it in the city. It has become the thing to do it here. All the nice people do it at the Emporium and at Slater's." Joe did not answer. He was look, ing aghast at the paper before him. Sixteen seventy-five for waists! He couldn't believe his eyes. "Edna," he said, finally, trying to control his voice, "I don't think vou realize that we can't afford to buy things like this. I'm sorry if you need them, but I haven't the money for them just now. Business hasn't been so good, and I just can't af ford it." He looked up at her with actual fear in his brown eyes, and Edna felt a sudden thrill of understanding run through her. Two of the lovely filmy things still hung perfectly fresh and new on their hangers. She could take them back the first thing in the morning, and suddenly that seemed the only thing in the world to do. - "I'll take them back." she said suddenly rushing over to throw her arms about his neck, "and I won't charge ever again, if you don't want me to, dear. I've been a little fool about those waists." And Edna did take the waists hack, and was told by the salesladv Ibat Mrs. Edward Mil liken had been In just that morning looking for a waist like that cream-colored one. and that she would surely takf it right off their hands. Edna stifiled n sigh of regret and then laughed happily to herself. After all, the waists had been more of a worry than a pleasure to her. That old bill had weighed on her conscience all month, and she would never have to face Joe again and feel that she was the most selfish wife in the world. FRANCIS STERLING CLARKE AS JUDY IN "DADDY LONG LEGS," AT ORPHEUM WEDNESDAY P _ ■ ■■■■"' ~ ; , . j'i " ' ... v ' : : •< , . * " ' V Interest in the "Daddy Bonglegs" cast centers in the leading playes and Miss Frances Stirling Clarke, who is "Judy" in the production Henry Miller is sending here for its tlrst ap pearance in this city, and Edwin Brandt, the bachelor hero. "I'endle ton," have justified Mr. Miller's selec tion of tlieni for these important roles. Miss Clarke is a pretty Atlanta, Ga„ girl, whose stage experience with Mrs. Fiske, Henry W. Savage's com panies and the Coburn players, fit her admirably for the role of the saucy orphan heroine of the Jean Webster comedy. Mr. Brandt is well known for his work in Klaw and Erlanger and Leibler Co. productions.

Mr. OBrien is now making his sixth an nual tour at the head of his own company, and promises again this sea son a show completely new from first part to finale. Mr. O.'Brien himself has a brand new sketch called "In the Secret Service," in which he is said to be seen in at his very best. There is a new song and dance number call ed "Mandv's Reception," conceived and staged by Nell O'Brien, with en semble dancing directed by Pete Det zel. Then there is to be a new finale, which is described as a most elabo rate and sensational scenic produc tion which enlists the entire strength of the company.

A street pa rade and band concert will be given at noon on the day of performance, aind is said to be well worth waiting for. There is enough talent in the five Keith acts appearing at the Majestic the last half of the week to At the please the most exacting Majestic vaudeville devotee. Good singing and lots of bright, snappy comedy are big features of the bill. The acts include "Storyland," seven clever Juveniles in a series of entertaining song and dance special ties: Harry Bulger, well-known com edian of musical comedy fame: Mat tie t'hoate and Company, presenting a pleasing comedy playlet, entitled "Outclassed:" Cahill and Romaine, two men in a pleasing singing offering, and •Robert DP Mont Trio, novelty comedy acrobats. The headliner for the first half of next week will be "The Stampede Riders" in "Sports of the Far West." It is.elaimed to be a good, lively num ber, land the act carries five "horses and a mule. Other acts on the hill are: Charles R. Sweet, the popular monolgist, who needs no introduction to local vaudeville devotees; J. C. Nugent, another favorite, surrounded by a capable companv, in a laughable sketch entitled "The Mealhound;" Bernard and Eloyd, clever comedy en tertainers. and Nestor and Vincent, comedy juggling artists. There arc few women who hold a higher place, in the esteem of the American public "Kluhtlni; Odd*" than Maxlne El nt the Colonial llott, the noted beauty, who makes her screen debut in the big Goldwyn production, "Fighting Odds," appear ing for the last time to-night at the Colonial Theater. The picture deals with big business as It is encountered in the rapidly growing automobile in dustry. It Is a powerful story of in trigue nnd trickery on the part of powerful men. and of the loyalty and perseverance of a beautiful woman to outwit the conspirators and bring them to Justice. Tt provides for Miss Elliott many highly emotional scenes, in which she appears to outdo any thing she ever attempted on the stage. NOVEMBER 10, 1917 An able cast supports the star in this production. The attraction for Monday and Tuesday of the coming week will be Emmy Welilen in "The Outsider." This is a Metro picture in which the star is given unlimited opportunity to display her versatility as an actress. In "The Antics of Ann." Ann Pen nington. the celebrated little dancer of "Ziegfeld Fol- Ann rennington lies" fame, will be and Mack seen to-day for the Sennett Comedy last time at the He gent. In addition to the feature, a screamingly funny Mack Sennett comedy, entitled "A Bedroom Blunder,i" will be shown. AH the fascination of a pretty girl's winning fight for a chance in'life is set forth in "Daddy "Daddy Dong- Next Wednesday legs," which Henry Miller will present at the Orpheum on Wednes day. matinee and night. This story of a modern Cinderella, written by Jean Webster and first published in a wo man's magazine, has since, in book form, charmed over 6,000.000 readers. Henry Miller came across the book one day and decided that here was material right to his hand for a play. Miss Webster set about dramatizing it. and the story of how it ran for a season in Chicago, another in New York and a year in Dondon, is now stage history. Critics' say "Daddy Eonglegs" has youth, charm and quaint humor. • Face Paint Tabooed Remove Skin Instead "A few years ago only one class of women painted their faces," says Dolly Madison. "It. was a sign of social ostracism and was tabooed in refined circles. The custom has be come so universal we must admit it is to be deplored and to be shelved as soon as possible." How foolish to seek artificial "beauty" of this sort, obnoxious from artistic and moral standpoints, when it is so easy to obtain a truly natural complexion by the use of ordinary mereolized wax. which may be had at any drugstore in original one-ounce package. This mereolized wax is so effective and so harmless, no one need think of using anything else for the purpose- Applied like cold cream at night, and washed oft in the morn ing. it at gnce begins to show its re markable rejuvenating effects. It gently absorbs the lifeless surface skin in tiny particles, gradually showing the fresher, livelier, beauti ful underskin. Naturally it takes with it all surface defects, like freckles, pimples, chaps, moth patches and liver spots.—Advertisement.
