"MOVIE" GIRL UNDER FIRE

After several months of adventures in Franoe arranging films of battle and refugee scenes for the American Y.M.C.A., Miss Josephine Hernon, a New York girl of Irish extraction, who left her post with a "movie" firm to undertake Tier present work, has returned to London to superintend tho development 'of her picture records. She is second in command to Mr. Fred H. Lawton, director of the Motion Picture Bureau of the American Y.M.C.A., which hopes to provide some 10,000,000 feet of films for the entertainment of troops in Allied camps in Great Britain this year.

On one occasion, while out with Mr. Lawton and an operator, the party got between the troops in action and a stream of refugees from the invaded area. They were coolly arranging what looked like a promising battle scene in the .near distance when the Germans burst into the village, and tho three got mixed up in a local action between an enemy advanced <nmrd and an Allied rearguard. The three escaped by bolting down a side turning of the main street, and then ' : ,peross open country to another village in the rear, where they were able to get away in a motor-car. On another occasion Miss Hernon had her trencli helmet blown from her head. "Didn't know I'd lost that hdm'et until I saw it lying on the ground some yards away,", she says.

I know that you are going to say that you could never learn Dress-' making at home. But that is only because you do not know about the wonderfully simple Associated System of teaching high-class Dressmaking ,by correspondence. It is different "and far superior to all other methods. The lessons aro so simple and so fascinating that you need not know anything at all about sewing to be successful. Everything is so easy, and yet so practical, that you can start making your clothes at once. You can'quickly learn how to make your own dresses, blouses, costumes and underclothes—and charming, dainty little garments of every kind for the children. Yes, you can learn every phase of fashionable dressmaking, so that should you desire or should necessity require it, you can secure a good paying position or open an exclusive and profitable business of your own. And tho delightful part of it all is that you do not have to sacrifice a minuto , from your usual duties or pleasures, for by the Associated System, you; learn right in the comfort and quiet of your own home, the natural place to learn, and you apply your newly-acquired skill immediately to your everyday sowing needs. Thousands of women are now profiting by my wonderfully easy and practical homo-study method of teaching. They include city women and country women, home women, business women, girls at school and college, and girls employed at home and in shops and offices'. Every niail brings me voluntary, letters of gratitude, telling of their success, of the charming dresses they have made, of the money they have saved. Some have accepted good positions and others have gone into business for themselves.

I nsk' you to sit down. NOW and send me YOUR name and address. Be sure to mention "The Dominion" and state whether Mrs. or Miss. I will understand and will send you all particulars of the marvellous Associated System by return post.
