MALLORY MOVES UP ANOTHER STEP
PARIS, July 16.—Mrs. Molla Blursteet, playing for Norway in the Olympic tennis championships, advanced another step today in her ambition to meet Miss Helen Wills, California girl who wrested the American championship from her last week when she entered the fourth round by defeating Mrs. Bouman of Holland, 5-7, 6-0.

It is not always George Larkin who takes long chances in Rus-sell feature production films. His leading ladies are forced to gamble now and then, too.
Eva Novak is a case in point. Miss Novak was engaged to play opposite the athletic star in "Barriers of Folly" which will be shown at the United Theatre Thursday night. The ranch scenes were difficult but not beyond the power of the little leading lady—not even the runaway scene in which she was constantly in danger of being flung over the edge of a precipice around which her horses were racing.
Not since 1912 had the Washington club rested as high in the American League race as they found themselves the other day when they plunged into first place. So these are great days for Griff, shown above in various poses.

Century-old Shoes
A pair of white satin ball room shoes, hand-stitched and more than a century old, is being displayed by the Kafateria Shoe store in one of its windows.
According to an old lady resident here, the belles of the old days used to use up two or three pairs of these delicate creations in a single night on the ballroom floor. The shoes lace at the side and they are of size three or thereabouts, with square toes and extremely narrow. The width from toe to heel is practically uniform.
Outside of museums such shoes are rarely seen anywhere.
They were loaned to the store by Mrs. Lucy L. Whitney of Los Angeles.

Chief Paul Little Walker and squaw
Times do change. Chief Paul Little Walker once a notoriously troublesome Blackfoot Indian is today a judge among his own people, a leader and a Christian teacher. He and his wife have returned to the Blackfoot Reservation in Alberta after a visit of some weeks at Vancouver with Canon Stocken, who converted the Chief years ago. This was the first time these Indians had crossed the Canadian Rockies, and they were greatly thrilled by their first voyages on a steamship, the Canadian Pacific & B. Victoria to Vancouver.
