While Martha is on her way to place the baby with her former nurse she stays at a small hotel, where she is seen by a scalawag named Sell Hawkins. Later Hawkins remembers this when his wifd's "baby farm" is raided by the police at Martha's insti gation. By her adoption of one of the waifs Hawkins and his wife are aided in a scheme for revenge.

Moving pictures ns a form of amusement and education were recently warmly defended by Judge Graham when an attorney in his court sought to cast a slur upon them. The incident nrose when Mrs. F.line Stuhr applied for letters of guardianship over the five children of her sister, who is ill in hospital. Her l attorney set forth that the children were roaming about the streets and visiting "dissolute nickelodeons. At this juncture the judge took a hand in tation of, tdgar toolwyn's great com edy drama "Rolling Stones." the proceedings. "I don't see how any body can call the motion pictures dis solute, since they are one of the great est educational agencies devised by man," he said, "and I certainly will not grant the application on that ground. I think the children should have a guardian, but it isn't my inten tion to order the guardian to keep the children away from tne nickelodeons. Metro-Yorke Players Have Narrow Escape on Mount Tallac.

The players escaped death by a matter of minutes. w Roberts Cummins will play Friar Laurence in the Bushman and 'Bayne film production of "Romeo and Juliet." Mr. Cummings probably has the ere ation of more original roles to his credit than almost any other actor on the stage, That finished actor, Wiilliam H. Tooker. who plays Judge Hare in Wil liam Fox's film revival of "East Lynne," is prominent in Christian Science circles. He is chief usher in the fashionable Second Church of Christ Scientist, at Sixty-eighth street and Central Park west, New York City.

BY MARGARET MASON Read and heed If you care What you'll wear One and all In the Fall. 0 New York, Aue. 25. It isn't the stuff that dreams are made of that interests us just now even if we have been runninir to Shakesneare for the last few months. It's the stuff that our Fall and Win ter frocks and suits are to be fash ioned from that has us all agog. One thing is sure: we are come- to be even more fear-somely fursome tnan ever, usquimos will look posi tively bareskinned compared to us if wo wear all the furry fashions that the fur designors have prepared for us. Fur coats are to be fuller and more ripply than last season and in orcLr to rob Peter to pay Paul or, in other woras, save on our other fur garments t n m,f mA inf a . er arc to be positively skimnv. as 'twere.

Ihe craze for moles that, hns evinced itself in our summer fur col lars promises to lap over in the win ter season and, in consequence, these little underground habitants have sky high prices. Basking in the dazzling light of popular fancy is enough to account for the blindness of the lOlfi mole. Mink will return this winter to fashionable favor and kolinskv and skunk still hold their own. Obviously, with such a craze for furs impending, near furs or materials made to imitate the real thing will be much in evidence. "Edcrell.-i" is one which simulates breadtait. It comes in narrow strips for bandings and also in yard width lengths. In the same widths also comes "ursine" which has a thick, soft, furlike nap. For frocks we will ane the monks with two materials loosely woven like sackcloth or the coarse fabric of which mars robes are made. Like a twilled ratine is "sere mnnf. flonne," and "drapclld" is a close im itation or breadcloth. Scree and etrbadine still enntinnn in favor and there is a lovely thick soft diagonally twilled material, quite new, called "double trykho." As for colors we are to go quite subdued and almost sombre, demurely draped in brown, blue or violet. Brown in particular is to be much worn and many a smart Fall suit will be done brown. There Is a new shade of it called "Snegalais." At least, it3 name is new and that is about all as it would be turd to differentiate be tween it and our eld brown friend "tcte de negre." Skirts are to be longer to match the days and they do say that fickle Dome Fashion will cast her hoops out of her heart and her wardrobe and return to slimpsy, soft, straight lines Coming events cast their shadows before it is true, but just because the shadow happens to look a bit hoopless now don't get reckless and hurriedly cast off your hoops on the strength of a mere forecast. Bear in mind that G. B. Shaw says "You never can tell." The southern states contain the only remaining important 'hardwood supply of the temperate zone, not on ly of the United States but of the en tire world.
