This picture is destined to set a record, in attendance, for few pictures have been more thoroughly complimented. Can you imagine a murderer be lieving lie hears the heart of his dead victim beating? ;' ; ,, And would you believe it possible that the-spectator of a motion pic ture would also imagine he could hear those heart beats? Yet that is only one of the extra ordinary photographic feats perform ed by D. W. Griffith in his Becond wonder picture, "Avenging Consci ence," which will be at the. Arcade theater Wednesday and Thursday. So striking is this great feature that Mr.! Griffith pronounces it a greater picture than his "Birth of a Nation." In fact, he says it is his "supreme1 achievement.' - However, this may be, none will deny that it is more than two years ahead of motion picture , photography of today, ac tually marking a new era in the art. "Avenging Heart," which ran at the Heilig i Theater, Portland, recently, capacity . audiences for. a week, is a mystery story, 'but not in the ordin ary sense -of the word, .

Just as the tinkling of sleighbells delighted the hearts of the children and grown-ups of yesterday, so are we of today en raptured with the thought of winter, when tiny coasters may once more be brought into, use, and the snow king, zealously . guards his domain moun tains and streams in glittering Bnow clad lovelinesj. v - '' For these days of sleighing and skating, not forgetting the gorgoous wintry mornings, when a brisk' walk over frozen paths brings . glow to our checks and brightness to our eyes clothes must play as important a part as for 'any other occasions. , ., ' - ' Attractive Fur Seta i: : - Fashion deceived at the beginning of the sor-jon that fur wtas to be pop ular, and old ' Father Winter : has ap proved the notion 'by sending us a brisk, crisp winter that makes the touch' of fur, no matter how small or how targe, quite consistent. : ; ' In muffs and neckpieces there is wide choice both as to models and materials.

" The Popular Tam-o-Shanter With the awakening of the out-of-door spirit there has come a demand for comfortable headgear; not the freakish hats-and caps which were introduced when the motoring fad came in, so hideous and unbecoming, but chic little caps and tarns made up in sweater cloth, lamb's wool, the material of the coat or suit,, or knitted to match sweatertr scarf. These caps are extremely youthful and chic easi ly made, and the height .of comfort. j Sets of cap, scarf and sports' coat, or sweater, are used for skating, I cross-country walking, and motoring One especially pretty, cap with scarf or muffler attached, is being made up in chiffon for summer motoring use; the idea is wonderfully practical, as the full, gathered scarf-end may be brought over the head and face, veil fashion, protecting the ' complexion and eyes very efficiently, i Leather is being used for these sets quite expensively too; a fur-trimmed set of dull red Russian leather, trim med with sable and combined with. a short, tab-ended scarf,' also trimmed with sable, is unusually smart and be coming. 1 These leather . sets may- be made at home of suede, or a soft kid. They are practical for many, pur poses as they are not injured by dus;, rain, or snow.

Although somewhat ex jtreme these sticks are nevertheless quite practical, especially for moun tain climbs and hilly roads. ;. O. A.
