a wail of anguish, and rushed to the rescue. My shoes," she cried tragically, My new shoes, leak!" I looked. They were made of black satin edged with silver, and were covered, literally, with about half an inch of green and yellow fungus. We get away nt last, but Daphne's evening was spoilt, for her shoes even after the most loving brushing, had lost their good looks.

Then the next day I happened to be in Lane, Crawford's "We have just got a wonderful cleaner for black satin shoes," I was told." "Is it good?" "It's almost too good,' was the reply with a rather rueful smile, for it makes old shoes look quite new again." I didn't believe it, who ever does quite believe in any marvel of that sort, but I bought a pot for Daphne-and its true! Her shoes looked as good as new when she had used the cleaner, and, more wonderful still, an old pair of mine, which were quite hopelessly grey though still comfortable, have been taken into commission again be cause they once more have a glossy blackness.

Here are a few hints for the woman who loves white hands, bints that may help her to keep them so, in spite of an influx of domestic duties.

As a rule, when a woman washes. her hands, she does not use enough soap; but this I mean that she does not use the soap to advantage.

FINE ACTING BY SHAYLE GARDNER.

The Thrac Passions of the film, and of Mr. Cosmo Hamilton's novel, from which it was made, are money- making, religion and love. Rex Ingram is yet another producer who tends to lose his way when he wanders down the bypaths of allegory, and the film might have been improved if Cosmo Hamilton's story had been presented less am- biguously, simply as

of Shayle Gardner. His "Lord Bellamont," is a real man, with haman virtues and failings, not a caricature or an allegory, and, even though I am writing this on "De- coration Day" I cannot refrain from adding that above all he looks like an Englishman, not like American.

That brings me to my second good point, that most of the outdoor scenes were photographed in Eng- land, and include some excellent views of Oxford. The mansion of Lord Bellamont and the restau rant frequented before his conver- sion by Philip are typical film sets, and although cleverly designed have no relation to England.
