"The War Bride's Secret"
Virginia Pearson is the beautiful
star of the new photoplay which Wil
liam Fox presents, "The iWar Bride's
Secret," and which will open today
for a twodays run at the Sherry
theatre.
Supporting Miss Pearson is an ex
cellent cast of ' Fox nlayers. Walter
Law and Glen White have leading
jroleB, and Miss Pearson herseif has
the only girl's part in the film. The
photoplay was made under the direc
tion of Kenean Buel. This is the
story:
Jean McDougal is a Scotch peasant
girl, whom two men love. She marries
one secretly, just as he is about to
leave for the front. Then, when she
hcara that he has been killed, her
father's insistence compels her to
marry the other, Robin Gray. Robin
thinks that the child, who is born
Jater, is his own.

turesque individuals. Somehow one
always looks to them to be, above all
else, big-hearted and truly charitable,
and old David Holden is not disap
pointing in this or any other respect.
Margery Wilson heads the support
ing cast. She is the girl whose lover
is called to war and because of this
her child is born out of wedlock,
which is something in which the vil
lagers find sufficient grounds for ac
cording her no sympathy whatever,
even without hearing any of the cir
cumstances she has had to contend
with.
Jane's marriage to young Benson
is prohibited by his parents, who are
her guardians. Robert does not learn
that she will become a mother until
the day set for his regiment to leave
for the front, and then it is too Jate
in Ha mnrrifwl. Thn child is horn in a
London charity hospital, and as Jane j J
is untune to support ncrseu anu me
baby, too, sho returns to ask the
lighthouse keeper to care for it. lie
insists upon her remaining with him.
This angers the villagers and they pe
tition the government to remove Dave
from his position as keeper of the
East Light, and this is a severe blow
to the kindly Dave, but the end finds
him happy, for Jane's lover returns;
he was wounded, not killed, as the re
port had it.
The piece was given a splendid pro
duction by Walter Edwards. The
street scenes in the village and those
showing action occurring at night are
impressive.

A SOCK FULL OF
CHRISTMAS FUN
A Suggestion For the Hostess
Who Gives the Usual Dinner
and Something Original and
Clever Besides For Her Guests.
a S enterprising housewives are
n casting about for something
fJ new and novel for their Cbrlst
" mas merrymaking they may
find of practical ubo an Interesting din
ner arrangement.
Of the menu nothing need be said
other than that the guests were bounti
fully supplied with all that makes up
a sumptuous cnnsiinas uinner. iu
table was artistically and tastefully ar
ranged with candlesticks and vases or
red carnations at each end and a large
wreath of holly In the center. From
the chandelier over the center of the
table depended a stocking. It was
crocheted of holly red yarn, finished
at the top with the usual border and
hung by red ribbons, the toe reaching
almost to the center of the holly
wreath. At various places on the stock
ing sprigs of holly were adjusted grace
fully, but not secured tightly.
The stocking was made In the follow
ing manner: After the top had been
made the plain crocheting was done
In sections. At the beginning a short
end was left Inside the stocking, and
after live rows (more or less, as need
ed) had been made the yam wus bro
ken off, leaving a very long end hang
ing outside the stocking. Then the
crocheting was recommenced at this
point, agnln leaving a short end at tbo
beginning and Inside the stocking.
Five rows more were made, the yarn
was again broken and a long end left.
So the sections were continued until
the stocking was complete, the last
long tlirend being left at the toe.
In making the stocking be sure that
you have ns many ends as you have
guests and plan to have each end at
different parts of the stockiug Instead
of one under the other. Understand,
the ends et each beginning are Inside
the stocking and will not ravel, so that
to each of them can be attached a
trifling gift.
These are not to be the bona fide
presents for the party, but Just sou
venirs or Jokes anything to make fun
or stimulate conversation. The outside
ends are intended to be unraveled, and
one Is to pass to the plate of each
guest, where It Is fastened to the place
card. ,
The place cards are to' be stockings
also nnd may be easily made nt home
of white cardboard. Cover one side
with red paper and paste lengthwise
the Initials of Hie guests. These let
ters can be found at furnishing goods
stores, as they are used inside men's
hats, or they may be painted In gilt If
the family boasts an artist. Fasten a
sprig of holly at the top with a narrow
red ribbon. On the white sloe is
painted in gilt or red the year across
the top and the word "uunstmas-
lengthwise on the stockings.
