, hanging on the arm of the man
idows, talking over the things she
or see a show and stroll out with
go shopping when she feelg like it,
ains; she wants to drop ini on her
in to see her; she wants, in fact,
atter of course to most women.
Mary Pickford wants them poigne
of life positively starving for the
iccept as a matter of course. It is
the streets of her own Hollywood
crowds; she cannot go to a theatre
'k and hiding herself in a box; she
i
ir do anything outside the gates of
in a sense that few people realize.
As she grew up and success
owned her, there still was no chance
r her to play as others of her age
ere able to do. Just as in her ear;r
years she had sacrificed child>od
to necessity, ehe now was beginng
to sacrifice her natural desire
r a simple, normal round Of life.
And so we come to the Mary Pickrd
of today. Few people realize
>w far into the tiny corners of the
orld this girl's popularity reaches,
er mail is laden with letters in every
gnuage. She is the only woman in
e pictures who is socially honored
r the real royalties of Europe. When
ie is traveling, people at every staan
crowd the platforms for a chance
impse of her. And with all of this,
ie is just a charming wistful young
oman happy in the love of! a devoted
tsband but still missing the things
jr less famous neighbors; accept as
matter of course.
You may wonder from this if she
happy with her lot. The answer is

ig happy in spite of missing the
lings she craves is i nitself a simple
ling: Her work makes others hapy.
Therein lies her compensation,
he has learned that service to others
the one coin that pays all the debts

Madri-Gras Carnival at'
Parish House Tuesday,
February 16th j
On Tuesday evening, February 1<
Shrove Tuesday, a Futurist Mard
Gras Carnival will be held at th
Parish House, under the auspices o
the Episcopal Guild, for the benefi
of the Guild chanties. For this las
event before thej coming of Lent
every effort is being made to achiev
something unusual. The decoration
will take their keynote from the de
signs of the Modernist painters whi
were responsible for the gorgeous ei
position last summer in Paris.
One group of revelers are comini
dressed in costumes adorned wltl
the jagged triangles and vivid color
of the kaleideBCope, or in the no lesi
strikingly colored swirls of the Fu
turists. This type of costume has ap
pealed to many because of the slm
plicity of preparation. No specla
costume is necessary. Long, narrov
triangles of bright colored cloth o
any description may be applied ii
clustered groups to coat and trouseri
or dark colored dress with just ai
satisfactory reMKs as a special!;
made costums. Color combination!
should contain all three of the pri
mary colors, red, blue and yellow, ii
some form. One particularly effect
ive outfit is of red,g reen, purpl?
and orange, applied to a dress coat.
Many other types of costume wil
also be represented. The only re
strictlon is that no one will be al
lowed to dance who is not masked

will enter the spirit of Mardi-Grat
and come in costume. Masks have
been ordered, and as soon as they ar
rive they will be put on sale at the
Mountain Industries at 10 cente
apiece, all, the profits to go to the
Guild treasury.
Reserved seats will be,available for
those who wish only to watch the fun,
and a number of special attractions
have been planned for their benefit.
It is to be hoped that the audience
will be large. The opening feature
will be at 8 o'clock.
The price of admissionj wGl be
{1.00 per person. Masks, carnival
souvenirs and refreshments will be
on sale throughout the evening.
