Mrs. Rosis Forbes writes to the Daily Express

I was invited to a luncheon party in a merchant's harsın. "Allah bring you safely to us that our joy may be complete from the morning to the evening prayers" ray the invitation

BOBBED HAIR AND BRAINS. DRAMATIST'S VIEW OF CINEMA- ACTRESSES.

The majority of film stories were written by half-educated people for Iralf-witted people was the opinion expressed by Mr. St John Errine, supporting the proposi- tion that the film play defents the imagina- tion in a debate at the Stall Picture Theatre Club.

The average film actress, he went on, had bobbed hair, bobbed brains, and that look of innocence that was only seen on the face thoroughly abandoned woman.

(Laughter.)

The film destroyed the imaginative faculty, and the picture theatre was now the resort of tired business men, demented servant girls, and pour messenger boys.

Mr. Charles Lapworth (of Goldwyn's, in reply, contended that

The motion was defeated by a large- majority.

EX-KAISER AND HIS WIFE. SECOND MARRIAGE' WITH PRINCESS HERMINĘ A FAILURE

The ex-Kaiser's second marriage has ended in failure, and husband and wife are now living apart, says a special correspondent of the Yorkshire Brening News at Doorn, Holland.

kept.

Much surprise is expressed in circles where she is well known, for so great is her personal charm that she was the object of almost universal regard. It is known that his stepchildren avoided him, and that most of his own children are no longer on terms of affection, or even intimacy,

#Iam told that his life is very colitary, and his establishment a very simple ons, for although his private means are still ample they are not: under his control”

The ex-Kaiser was married at Doorn on November 5th last to Princess Elermina of Reurs, a widow of 34, who has five children. The ex-Kaiser is 20 years older.

Skin Would Itch and Burn. Facel Disfigured. Cuticura Healed.

"For months I suffered with a rash which broke out all over my skin. If I got the least bit warm my. skin would itch and burn, and st night I could not rest. My face was distigured. After trying well known remedies a friend told me to get Ct- tiera Soap and Ointment.
