she turned down a fortune offered
her to appear in pictures during her
spare time from stage work.
It was in the silent picture days,
when Miss Chatterton was soaring to
the heights as a young Broadway
stage star.
A film corporation, now out of
existence, drew up an unusual con-
tract under the terms of which Miss
Chatterton would have received thous-
ands of do’lnrs a week for an entire
year. It was proposed to follow the
success “The Goose Hangs

drama of parents who have dedicated

Mrs. Webber Beall entertained the
Junior Kroweldeen Club on Friday in
the home of her mother, Mrs. Hoff-
mann. The spacious living room was
graciously decorated with deep bowls
of lovely violets. The president, Mrs.
Thomas Caldwell, conducted a brief
business session before the program.
In keeping with the Valentine season,
the program held this spirit through-
-out. Miss Ruth Dansby told of the
customs of courtship and marriage in
Mexico, or the ways of Dan Cupid
in that country. Mrs. Turnbow’s sub-
ject was the senoritas of South Am-
erican countries, contrasting between
the classes. Mrs. Caldwell related a
legend, “Gold from Afar,” that dealt
with the g'old searches of Coronado;
in Mexico and the Southwest and the
seven cities of Cibolo. These Mexi- !
can legends blend history With legend j
in a fascinating manner. At the
conclusion of the program the hos- j
tess served a lovely salad course, i
Corsages of violets were given as fav-
ors.—Reporter.

When the
easiest way is the
best way...
There are no two ways about it! Certainly the
easiest way to get the most for every dollar you spend
is to buy products that you know about through the
advertisements in your daily paper. You don’t have
to go out and look for buying opportunities. The ad-
vertisements bring them to you. And all you need do
is consider the facts, compare values and decide on the
soap or the seda nthat best fits your judgment and
your pocketbook.
Certainly the best wa yof making your money go
farthest is to buy merchandise of proved quality. Ad-
vertised merchandise. Merchandise that is bought
and used by many people. Merchandise that must be
superlatively good enough for its maker to keep call-
ing it to the attention of people day after day and year
after year.
This is the service—of convenience and profit—
that the advertisement offer you every day. It will
pay you to read them regularly and take advantage of
everything they can do for you.
