Lenoro Peacock was running through the exchanges to improve her mind and Incidentally In the hope that some ob servant photoplay editor had slipped In a tribute to her budding genius. Presently her eye lighted upon a sug gestion by the Columbia (Pa.) "State" for a real Interstate romance In one reel as follows: Friendship, N. T. Love, Va. Klssimmee, Fla. Ring, Ark. Parson, Ky. When the whistle blew for luncheon Miss Peacock instead of heading for the studio dining-rooms with her customary celerity, buried herself In the library in conference with a bulky volume bearing the Postmaster-General's name as author. When she emerged she announced that as far as It went, the Interstate romance in one reel was all right. "But," said Miss Peacock, "the sub ject is a dramatic one. Why not a one reel drama ending with a punch? Here's one that you don't have to go chasing all over the country to make. You'll find it right In the State of Idaho: Grace. Rupert Reubens. Deary.

He was born in New Haven and. in youth, expected to be come the world's greatest dentist. After one' year at dental college, the crisis came and dentistry lost out John Dillon went on the stage for one of the Blaney stock companies in Brooklyn. From this he gradually worked up to more and more important parts. (h y$ : - .r ' - vVsSA ? 'A ' .

STUFFED OLIVES. Prepare the stuffing as follows: Mix one quart of red peppers with three pounds of pimento, one cubit of pep per, a Jigger of paprika, add salt to taste. If by this time you have not been overcome, roll the paste Into small globes and. placing them on a tray, pro ceed to the olive orchard. To do this you take any of the P. A O. boats to Italy. Upon arriving in the olive belt, pick out a young tree which has Just been born. Now. stroking the balls quietly to keep them. calm, put one or more on the tender young branches of the olive tree and depart silently. Tho following year ycu should return to harvest the fruit. You will be highly pleased, for you will find that the olives have grown around the stuffing and are ready to serve.

Miss Stewart is a versatile young wom an and plays comic and tragic parts with equal facility. Besides being ex tremely pretty, she has plenty of charm and intelligence.
