Work on Photoplay of Country Club Set Starts in Two Weeks Mrs. Lawrence Brinker and Mrs. Jack Webster have been chosen by J. T. Stewart II, as feminine leads for his photoplay, which he will produce and which Country club will present. Opposite these attractive young matrons will play Messrs. Jack Sum mers, Robert Garrett and Henry Bohllng. One artist is still to be selected, but it Is understood that no blondes need apply, for the delicate coloring of both Mrs. Brinker and Mrs. Webster requires the darker charms of 2 brown eyes and raven tresses as a foil. * The vehicle for this "galaxy of stars” is still in its infancy, so the parts have not been assigned. The play, however, is expected to reach It’s ma turity In two weeks under the careful hands of its author, Mr. Stewart, and his collaborator, Louis Bostwlck. It is said that competition is keen among the handsome gentlemen selected, for the part of heavy villain, for which they claim, they nil have an acting proclivity. The Garrett’s German police dog is to he one of several prominent canines. Another will be Miss Louise Dietz’s "pound-and-a-half hound," ac cording to Mr. Stewart. There will be several lavish Interior settings made In Omaha's most beau’ tiful new homes, and several cut-ins of Omahans at the polo matches, with \ glimpse of a polo game of the now well-known Otnnha brand. Work on the picture will begin the last week In July.

I am In love with a girl one year younger than myself, but many tell me that she had the reputation of getting everything she can out of you. She claims to care for me. Would it be right to believe the things told about her? GEORGE. It never pays to listen to idle gos sip. Why not watch carefully when you are with this girl and decide a few things about her yourself. If she doesn’t work you for everything she sees perhaps that is proof that she cares for you. Sometimes girls change their tactics when they care for a certain man. I wouldn't judge too harshly until there Is good rea son to do so. Dear Martha Allen: I am anxious to know If some certain boys care for me. They go with other girls, but always ask me to their picnics and parties. Is there any way to make them care enough for me to go with me a good part of the time? RUTH. It Is very evident, Ruth, that these boys consider you worth knowing or elso they wouldn't Invite you to their afTairs. But it doesn’t pay to push any attentions upon them. If you are too anxious they are sure to drop you. Continue the good friend ship and leave the more serious atten tions entirely to them. friends In Los Angeles for two weeks.

With a heroic effort I controlled my twitching lips at Mrs. Marks' naive Interest in Harry Underwood, and answered her question in casual, im personal fashion. “Oh, yes, I saw the gentleman who called. He's talking to Mrs. Under wood now. Thank you for letting him in.” iSne giggled consciously. “Don't thank me.” she burbled. "I'd stand on one foot at that door for a week on the chance of eeein’ anything as nifty ae that gent. Gee, but he’s got ’em all left at the post an’ is trotting down the course all by himself! I'd leave my happy home for him any day. And I'll bet you’re goin' out somewhere with him— you're all dressed up to kill. Well, some folks have all the luck. I don't blame you, though. I'd have a lark once in a while by myself if I were you.” I wondered if her stressing of the pronouns was unconscious, or if she meant me to know that she thought 1 was entitled to an occasional din ner or dance with a handsome man because of Dicky’s too-patent admira tion of Mollie Fawcett. For the in stant the thought outweighed the crudity of her comment. Then be fore my indignation had a chance to betray itself in either my face or my voice, I put it down with a firm hand. Mrs. Marks had no more Idea of the enormity of her impudence than a Hottentot would have of his lack of meal time manners, were he sud denly set down to a Fifth Avenue dinner-table. Besides, I did not know in just what relation she stood to Lillian in the investigation my friend was carrying on concerning the mysterious furs. It behooved me to walk warily, lest, as Lillian herself would term it, I “upset fhe lentils.” With a non-committal little smile I changed the subject. “I hope yoil have been well since I saw you,” I said. “I can't complain.” She used the time-honored formula as if it were the most original sentence ever ut tered. “My body's all right,” she went on with a lugubrious sigh, “but I've been awful upset In my mind. If It hadn’t been for your friend, Mis’ Fnderwood, I think I’d have been good picking for a squir rel by this time.” I frantically wished that Lillian would summon me, or that anything would happen to interrppt us. In ignorance of the real situation, I was so afraid of mixing batters up that I dared make only the most commonplace of comments. I blushed for my own banality as I murmured, “Is that so? I am so sorry,” and hoped that my conts nance did not betray my joy at Lil lian's entrance. “Oh, are you here?" There was an edge In her voice ae she ad dressed Mrs. Marks, which I think even that thick-skinned lady per ceived. At any rate she reddened, and con fusedly mumbling about “something In her oven,” she withdrew precipi tately. “Have You a Trunk?” Lillian wrasted no comment upon her exit. “I'll stay here for a little,” she said. “You're all ready, but your coat and scarf, aren't you? Good! Harry has a taxi eating its head off downstairs.” I moved toward the door at her hint, but barely had reached the hall before she was at my side. “I certainly am getting forgetful in my old age,” she said. “I meant to ask you before—have you a trunk In the basement storeroom?” I tried not to stare at her as I gave an affirmative answer. “Have you many things in it?” “Very few. It is almost empty. “Good. Have you any objection to lending it to me for a few days, and may I empty it, and put the contents up here in the apartment somewhere?” I smiled affectionately at her. “You know if you wished to rig up a trapeze out of the trunk and We Have Enlarged Our Department lor HAIR BOBBING Expert Barber Attendants.

How convenient a memory has your Janitor? He and his wife seem de voted to you." "You would like them to forget the incident of bringing the trunk up to you?" "Correct, oh, clairvoyant creature! Also to close his eyes that I am go ing to take tho trunk away with me on a taxi. Can It be managed?” "I am sure it can," I said slowly, and I saw Lillian dart a quick glance at me. "You won't need to ask him," she said. "Just take me downstairs, and vouch for me. He is very pleasant to me, but his manner plainly shows that he considers there is no head to the table when the Douglas Is away. Come on down now before you go out." She turned back to the kitchen door, opened It, extracted the key and with a reassuring promise to Mamie that she would be back within five minutes, she locked the door from the outside and put the key into her purse.
