NOTED CLARA KIMBALL YOUNG One of the most absorbing stories ever nroiected uDon the screen is "The Price She Paid," in which the DODular Selznick-Pictures star, Clara Kimball Touner. will be seen at the Victoria Theatre today and tomorrow. This story, by David Graham Phillips deals with the problems of a young woman who has always lived in lux ury, and who finds herself practically penniless. It is not merely a few iso lated dramatic incidents, but goes in to the details of the life of the hero .ine; Mildred Gower, and her-efforts to achieve independence and save her own relf-respect. She marries for money and finds herself little more than a slave. With the aid of a former suitor she studies for an operatic ca reer and again meets with many dis appointments. At length she leans that there is jio royal road to success and giving up all her habits of ease and luxury, plunges into a Spartan routine, and by sheer determination finally wins. It is discovered that she : has not been legally married, as the husband she left had a wife still liv ing, and so she is free to make her life what she chooses. Miss Young has not, m a long time, had a role which affords such opportunity for beautiful costuming, and her charm of personality is revealed as it seldom has been in any of her work for the screen. The director of "The Price She Paid" is Charles Giblyn, a new member of the Selznick forces, who has many successes to his credit. chase a complete wardrobe. We never find lingerie dresses for afternoon wear hard to select. Dainty dance frocks and evening dresses are so attractive that our chief worry lies in which to choose. But the sum mer clothes which I intend to wear to our business every day always cause me much preplexity. Of course this does not need to worry me as mucn as it aoes otner girls, for they keep their business clothes on all day, while I only find it necessary to wear them to and from my work. The hours spent in the studios sometimes find me swathed in furs when those outside are sip ping lemonade and lounging in the shade. Nevertheless I find my business wardrobe for the warmer months the hardest to select. I have given it much thought and finally decided that it is reckless extravagence io purchase the dainty light shades They may look cooler, but in reality I don't believe they are. A medium lark green of a light weight is a color which does not unduly absorb the Huns and Paris and thus saved the world from barbarism. Much talk as to how to pronounce the name of Joffre and Kelly averred that it was correct to leave off the "re" and rumble as in vers libre. To an inn for a morning snack of lamb chops, buttered toast and Turkish cof fee and I excused myself in time tor the serving man to give the bad news to Kelly. Home by tram and find a letter from W. Sibley, my favorite editor, who tells me that he and Mistress Sibley are coming to Gotham to bid farewell to their son, Ellis, a fine lad, whn is to ioin the ambulance men somewhere in France.

Men about town wearing their dinner jackets with slashed pockets watched head waiters, urbane and sleekly sartorial, bow out guests at the stroke of one o clocK on tne mgm oi may j.. xue crowds boiled up suddenly out of the cabaret places as if from some subter ranean cavern. There is to be no more night life un- j tn the war is over. "Foggy," the blind flower seller, who night in and night out for many years has furbled his way around the tables at Jack's stood in one corner in a dazed manner. Old regulars of the night resorts men and women to whom the day does not begin until long after night, 3tood on the corners idly discussing the thing, and all agreed that the town would not seem the same. So the war came to the Street of a Million Laughs. A gentleman from Florida brought a pet alligator with him and stopped at the Biltmore. During the night the alligator got out of its box and crawl ed up the bed coverings. Ten minutes later the guest gave a yell that would have awakened the soundest sleepers in Albany; then he jumped over the footboard of the bed by what might be known as a standing-sitting jump, and as he landed shouted: "Goodness gra cious!" He -is one man who should Ket out of the wicked New York. He'll be chewing gum and eating nut sun daes after 9 o'clock and engaging in other deviltry if he remains in the bad city. A girl in a Broadway theatre rides to her nightly duties in an automo bile. She used to be in the chorus where she made $25 a week. Her health failed and she became an usher. Her tips for programmes amounts to about $75 a week and she gets a sal ary of $12 a week. It is needless to say she is good looking. GRAND TOMORROW. Metro Pictures Present.

Then I always wear black pumps and stockings, for they seem to me the only possible thing, al though I love the slippers of the pretty light shades. My hat is, nine times out of ten, a dark gresn or black. Many of my friends insist up on wearing white hats, but to wear one of these does not make me any more comfortable. I have my dress es made in a coat effect so that I'll not have to wear both a shirtwaist and suit coat, for I never feel com fortable in a shirtwaist without a coat. . Green is not the only color which may be used in a medium shade. A dull brown and blue also lend them selves well to ordinary wear, and for this summer I have purchased darker clothes for wear to business. I'll wear the light,' pretty things in the evenings, anjd Sundays. Nobody loves the dainty summer frocks more than I do, but business is business, you know, and they're really not prac ticable for business hours-. ; ATLANTIC COAST LINE RAILROAD COMPANY. -V'Y, REGULAR PINNER TWENTY-FIVE CENTS NEW YORK CAFE Office of the Treasurer Wilmington, N.
