Farther and farther north they travel. The fairies begin to shiver as great fields of ice appear. FLORENCE is seen in heavy furs at the rail reading an immense sign : T. YOUNG Hides and Furs Leave Your Hides With Me They go on. And now come the thrills, for even a movie in fairyland would be tame without them. The little audience fairly rise from their seats in appre- hension as they now watch a great iceberg drifting closer and closer to the ship. Will it strike? No, it is drifting past. But now they cover their eyes, for just as the great ship seems to have cleared it, they see that the propeller is caught. An S. O. S. call is now sent. At last an aeroplane with M. McKINNEY as pilot comes to the rescue. A few flickers, and they see MARGARET taking off the last passenger — FLORENCE — to a small Island far to the South, warmed by the Gulf Stream. Here FLORENCE, the typical movie heroine, nothing daunted by her recent exhausting adventure, sets out to explore the apparently uninhab- ited island, accompanied and guarded by MARGARET, the erstwhile pilot, when, to their surprise, they come upon a small clearing, in the center of which stands a log cabin. Cooking over an open fire in front of the cabin, a man — the typical movie hermit — whom they recognize as ELMER KERSTEN, is seen. They have a long visit with him, learning that, discouraged by the final one of a long series of love affairs, he had sought solitude on this island, “far from the madding” — flappers. Meanwhile workmen from the mainland had been repairing the boat, and on their return from the retreat of the hermit, ELMER (who refuses to return to civilization), MARGARET, the heroic bird-woman, flies away, while FLOR- ence returns to the ship to resume her strange voyage. But unfortunately, here, in true movie fashion, something goes wrong, so that nothing registers on the screen but flickers and flashes — to the disappointment of the little movie fans. When the picture finally clears up, they find the ship approaching Victoria Island in the Arctic Ocean. FLORENCE lands here and PAYNE SAPH leader of a Fiji Island Artie Expedition, which is here studying the blonde Eskimos of the region, tells FLORENCE: ‘‘You will find ROWENA JOURE giving SKIING Lessons on that hill over there; and when you stop in Hong Kong don’t fail to visit HORIS MORSE’S Curio Shoppe.”

The gangplank is pushed out, and the first passenger to alight is a richly dressed woman whom she does not recognize until someone exclaims: “Ah! RUBY BEDFORD, ze famous Prima Donna! How exquisite! Tres chic! Tres celebre! Leaving RUBY, she buys a paper, returns to her boat, and settles down to read. Three items seem to be especially interesting to her. 1 he first is MARIAN BURROWS’ name at the top of the Society Column ; the second: FRED HOLMES Has Left For His Camp in the Adirondacks W here He Intends Com- piling a Dictionary. and the third, a card, she finds among the advertisements: Announcing The Grand Opening of NORENE BUSHAW’S Antique Shoppe .0008 Fifth Ave. 25

Four or five thousand miles being nothing in the movies, especially in Fairyland, the ship is now seen stopping at Honolulu. Immediately upon landing, FLORENCE is seen buying a ticket : CONCERT Hawaiian Orchestra MILDRED ARNOLD Conductor ette Admission 5c And now at last the ship once more lands at San Francisco, and a little later the heroine is seen hoarding the Sante Fe Limited, homeward bound. Two poultry ranchers returning from the California State Fair sitting in front of her are talking of the Fair, when one says : “My neighbor, EDNA WISSMAN, took lirst prize on her entries at the Poultry Show to-day-” At Cripple Creek, HELEN JOURE, now a sheriff, boards the train taking a prisoner. Jack Strawe — the famous airplane bandit, terror of the west for the past five years — to the penitentiary. She stands in the aisle — her prisoner hand- cuffed to her wrist — gossiping with FLORENCE: “Did you know that LAURA McRAE is our Representative in Congress? She was elected because her stentorian voice was the only one in this district capable of being heard in the new Hall of Congress at Washington. Oh, yes ! and ELEANOR SMITH is catering to the elite of New York City through her beauty parlor on the Avenue.” FLORENCE spends Sunday in Chicago, where she attends a fashionable church to hear the highest paid singer in the city — VIOLET SHAW . 27
