der. She didn't need it-she was natural beauty. She has beautifully shaped large blue eyes and very white teeth. light hair and pretty figure, and was so simple and prac- tical in her conversation. yet so highly cultured and refined.
 Lois wears no makeup either.
 At this moment MT. Nagle, who had been working In the water. came up the beach and he and baby Ruth spied one another at the same time and he came on the run. He caught her in his arms and hugged her tight-when she suddenly leaned back and held up her hands. Daddy was so wet"
 He came by us and asked of his wife, Love, may l take her down and splash her feet in the water 7''
 Yes, Conrad" she answered, but don't get her body wet"
 All right" he promised.
 In few minutes We heard laugh ter and commGtion and turned to see that while Conrad was kneeling and talking to some one behind him, a small wave had rolled up and com pletely covered up the baby. She sputtered and gasped and every one expected her to cry. but instead. when the water was wiped from her eyes, she looked at the receding wave far out, and waving her hand, said, Bye bye"
 He brought her back, and was very contrite, but the girls covered her up with the sand and sine was SC on dry. And l heard her daddy all af- ternoon proudly telling every one over and over how courageous she was.
 Mrs. Nasle was Ruth Helms, beautiful and wealthy society girl of Chicago. She met her husband in a hospital for children. where they had both come to see the same little boy. The child introduced them, which was the beginning of their romance, She is a professional. She is also a musician, and Conrad Nagle's fam are literary. read a great deal and have their decided favorites.
 1 noticed Conrad Nagle's inbcrn courtesy on several occasions. Once he stopped to throw cloak around shivering extra who had just come up. Again, his nurse was standing behind Mrs Nagle's chair. He dived into a tent and brought out a camp chair saying, Here. Lo uise, sit down and rest"
 The sun was making long shadows and we took our leave as Lois want ed to drive us by some of the stu dios.
 stood ohattering with Gloria before leaving, and told her how dis appointed I was at not seeing baby Gloria Oh. yes, there's a baby Glor- Ia just one and half years old.
 She answered, Yes, l rented an apartment out here so baby could be with mo all the time, but there are so many people in this picture that when l brought her down on the beach they all talked to her and played with her so much it made her very nervous and she did not sleep well. Sc l don't bring her to this beach any more."
 Those practical words coming from the lips of the beautiful Gloria!
 Ar unusual situation exists in her married life. She was married to a wealthy architect of Pasadena. After time they decided to separate. There was no quarrel-just incom- patability. He had his work, and she hers, and they were not congenial in many ways, and sc they live apart and l suppose are divorced ere this. They are very good friends, how eyer and she oonsults him about many things, including business. and sNtAHs RfibS PlOt1a Ip Htt nm every day. In the spring when her company was ordered to France. baby Gloria, with her nurse, visited her father for si@seweeks till her mothers return from Paris.
 As l was leaving. I overheard a nversation between the Nagles and Lois. It ran like this:
 So and SO are going, and so and so are going" q could not catch the names) we will come by for ybu and Jim"
 Well. don't come too early, fer I'm going to church."
 So are we, but after church and elmer 2:30 seems late enough to start"
 I learned that all the crowd go to church as matter of course. I afterwards learned that they were going out to the beach Sunday afternoon, probably go in swimming and were going to have 8 picnic supper and cook steak and make coffee and return by moonlight. It reminded me of 8 certain set of young married friends in Birming- ham, who have just such suppers to- gether, except that they took their steak on Shades Mountain and re- turn by moonlight.
 F"o SOAtJ lOk LO nave met Thomas Meishan, who is one of Lois friends, and with whom she likes to play. He and Frances Ring have been married ten years and have charming home. And by the way, his name is prounced quickly Neon" and not "Mayhan" as so many call 1t.
 Business Section of Hollywood AS we drove home we passed through the business section" of Hollywood, the city proper. It has a main street much like any small town or suburb, which Is really the asphalt boulevard running through. It Is only about five blocks long, and the stores are only one and two stories high, and most of them built of yellow brick. There are drug stores, bank and a ffw shops. sev- eral restaurants, one of which Is called The Hole in the Wall" and several real estate offices, the latter very artistic and showy. Hollywood IS really the quietest place on earth. 1t is like country lane in July.
 Lois wanted to drive us to see Mother Kerrigan," of whom she is very fond and whom every one in Hollywood loves, but it was growing late and Lois was booked to appear in person that night at one of the theatres In Pasedena. Mother Kerr rigan lives with her son, J. Warren kerrigan, who has made so much money that he only plays when he chooses. There are some fine peach trees on the grounds which every one calls Mother Kerrigan's orchard. :" She is very proud of them and takes pleasure in sending baskets and bowls of perfect fruit to her friends.
 When we reached our destination. Lois kissed us goodbye and waved to us till we entered our hotel, car
