When wre got there the long table was full of folks and we got nervous lest there should not be enough chicken for us. But ' when we sat there and ate and ate j as long as we could with good grace, j and still they smilingly brought more piles of chicken with the exhorta tion to “eat” we decided the supply was inexhaustible and quit. The ladies must have have netted a neat sum. CARD OF THANKS.

A WOMAN’S PAST In this marvelous WTilliam Fox photoplay, Nance O'Neil is cast as Jane awley, a struggling authoress. In the course of her efforts to dispose of her manuscripts, she encounters the editor of ,a famuso magazine, Sterling by name, who gives her em ployment. Jane falls in love with Sterling, a thoroughberd rascal, and the inevitable happens. Despite Jane's pleadings, her scoundrelly em ployer refuses to marry her. She leaves him and soon afterward Wil son Stanley, a former friend of Ster ling's falls in love with and marries her. Three years later, Stanley is called to the Phillippines on govern ment service. Jane and her little son live with her father-in-law waiting for the return of Stanley. One day she meets her betrayer on the street. He follows her home. Wilson’s father discovers the couple in the garden in a very compromising attitude and turns Jane into the street. She re turns to Sterling. Many years pass. Stanley, who has returned home tries in vain to find his erring wife. One day, after he has given up hope he sees her upon the street and follows her to the squalid attic where she lives in poverty writh Sterling. At sight of the man who has ruined his home, Stanley goes temporarily in sane and in the terrific fight which fol lows. stabs his rival to the heart. He escapes, and Jane is arrested for the crime. The evidence is overwhelm ingly against her. The jury has pro nounced its verdict, “guilty,” and the doomed woman rises to receive her sentence, when Providence steps in and saves her from an unmerited fate. Never before upon the screen has such an intense and thrilling climax been depicted.

I ] A Good Introduction j Goes a Long Way— GOOD CLOTHES are good introductions any where—in business and at social functions. A man’s clothes form the measure of his - personality among strangers. He is known by his clothes as by the company he keeps. An ill-fitting suit handicaps him as much as an introduction by a disreputable acquaintance. COLLEGIAN CLOTHES ’ give you the same sort of introduction among strangers that < an esteemed friend might. They inspire confidence, lend an ease of manner, and compel respect. They are cut on gentle manly lines for gentelmen’s wear. You can’t go rong with— COLLEGIAN. L. G. LOFHOLM ■ mi. ——————_
