But They Are So Happy
That They Refuse to Eat,
Drink or Talk Business
By Harriette IJnderhill

in New York and not out on the Coast
New York seems different place with
them here, and you don't appreciate
Just what they do add to the metrono-
lis until they are gone. Now they are
back asnin for short time. and to
hear them rave over the joys of being
resident of Manhattan makes you
feel that you wouldn't trade your little
$4,000 or thereabout per annum and
your room on Broadway for their
$4,000 or thereabout per week and n
palace in Hollywood.
Pity the Starving
Screen Stars
"It's no use, Constance" said Norma
IN despair. ave can't sustain life and
eat as little as we've eaten since we
landed here. After this we'll order our
table down here and then have break
last sent up at IL O'Clock and eat it in
the apartment. Connie and | are so
efraid we'll miss some one who comes
in that We haven't eaten a thing since
we got here"
els it true that Mr.. Schenck has
bought East Is West for your we
asked.
Look" sasped Constance, seizing
our arm, and not the least interested
in East Is West" There's Marie
Doro, And, oh, there's Julia Sander
son and there's Lenore Uric! Isn't it
wonderful? They can't any of them
get in without our seeing them now.
I'm so glad we got this table right
by the door. All right; I'm hick; but
l guess you would be. too, if you hadn't
seen any one for months-only the peo
pie you're used to. Oh, Norma, isn't it
splendid!"
"1t is" answered Norma demurelv
I'm just as thrilled as you are. onlv
| haven't time to talk about it. There's
Irving Berlin"---
"ls it true?" we began again
And there's Louise Groody and
there's Nine. Petroval Anita Loos.
how can you sit there and eat so calm
~ with everything happening7"
well. III tell you why. I'm hungry
and see them every day. 1t makes
difference"
0ns Good Turn
Deserves Another
In the mean time the rest of the
people had not been idle. "What are
they staring at? Is anything wrong
with MY hat? 2"
Not a thing in the world. They
are staring at you and sister Norma. ."
But what for We're nothing to
see"
mo, of course not; but, YOU see
you're just as interesting to other peo-
pie as they are to you. You're the Tai
madge sisters. And now is il true
that
~ wish I had on my new broadtail
coat. 1t has a sable collar on it, and
when arrived in New York found out
that you were quite out of it unless
you had a chinchilla collar. so I took
O..
I'm other words you want to put the
chin in chnchilla: and that's our own.
right off the bat"
And not so good" said Constance.
why didn't you say something about
taking out the chilli"
Because no one in California needs
TO have the chill taken out Of anything.
It's never chilly there and it's always
sunkist"
"Oh. is that so?" said Norma, scorn
fully. well, it rains about all the
time and it isn't any warmer than
this"
Which proves that the Misses Tai
madge are not true Californans and
never will be. To the faithful the
climate is ever above suspicion.
ASK me about Hollywood" said
Constance. II want to tell everybody
how it really isn't any worse than New
York, and how you can be just as good
as screen actress as you can as a
private secretary, and how terrible it
is that all should be condemned for
the faults of one, and how all the
screen people I know lead blameless
lives"-
But you can't say that now. It's
too late. Dick Barthelmess said it
last week"
All Dressed Up
And Ready to Go
That doesn't make a bit of differ
ence. Why shouldn't I say it, too?
Every one else has said it,"
We've seen everything here" said
Norma. Let's go for walk up Fifth
Avenue and buy things"
as it true that Mr. Schenck has
bought we began again. but Con-
stance interrupted with "Oh, look at
that pearl necklace. Let's 20 in and
try it on"
"Not me-" said Norma with fnality.
II wouldn't buy it if they would give
it to me for 100000" The way
these picture stars do toy with figures
and with such nonchalsnce, too.
So we kept on walking up the ave-
nue.. and every one looked at the girls,
and no wonder. They surely are
beauties. Constance was wrapped in a
squirrel coat with a gray fox collar.
