as she did. At first all three did
When Mother Bear stopped the
three little Bears stopped. When
Mother Bear sat up the three little
Bears sat up. When Mother Bear
tested the air with her nose. the
three little Bears tested the air with
their noses. Whatever Mother Bear
did the three little Bears did in ex-
actly the same way.
But Littlest Bear grew tired of do
ing just as Mother Bear did. She
didn't see any sense in it. 1t got so
that she was, always the last to stop
when Mother Bear stopped, the last
to sit up when Mother Bear sat up,
the last to test the air when Mother
Bear tested the air After while
i. got so that she didn't do these
things at all if she didsat feel like
it. If Brother and Sister failed 20
do as they were told they were al
most sure to have their ears boxed,
but Littlest Bear got off with no
more than a scolding.
If Brother or Sister Jagged behind
they werea likely to get a spanking.
But if Llttlest Bear Jagged behind
Mother Bear would wait for her to
catch up, or even go. back to look
for her, and never was punished.
1t di dn't take her long to find this
out and the result was that she
worried Mother Bear more than the
other two little Bears together. 1t
always is that way with spoiled chill
dren. If Iittlest Bear got into trou-
BILE, Mother Bear promptly got her
out of it, and merely warned her to
be more careful ~eXt time. But if
Brother or Sister got into trouble
they were sure to be punished.
Brother and Sister soon learned
that when Mother Bear sent them
up a tree and told them to stay there
until her return she meant just what
she said. They were disobedient just
once and the spanking they received
was a lesson they never forgot. Lit
tlest Bear had disobeyed with them

been a success and we have made 1t
a success by making it fifty-fifty
proposition-what is sauce for the
goose is sauce for the gander, and
vice versa, you know. I don't ask
any privileges for myself that 1
don't extend to her, and she doesn't
put any restrictions on me that she
isn't willing that 1 should demand
of her.
1--WE began by settling the finan-
ciai problem right off of the bat. 1t
always struck me as sardonically
humorous for a man to swear at
the altar to endow his wife with all
his worldly goods, and then to make
her come and beg him for enough
money to buy a pair of shoestrings.
L wanted my wife not only to feel
that she had a right to her share of
what I had, but that she also had
a responsibility about it, and the
plan has worked finely.
eff you want a woman to save
you must give her something to
save for. Your wife will be grumpy
and think you're a tightwad if you
just tell her arbitrarily that she
can't do over the parlor or buy a
new car. If you will explain to her
that the reason you can't afford any
extra extravaganza is because bust
ness is bad, or you want to make
some good investment, nine times
out of ten she will not only give in
gladly, but cut down expenses some
where else.
"You see, I go fifty-fifty on brains
with my wife, and assume that she
has got just as much sense as l
have, and is just as anxious for the
family prosperity. I also assume that
she has the same feeling about be-
ing financially independent that I
have, and that it is just as humiliat~
ing to her to have to ask me for
money as it would be for me to have
to ask her. So she has her allowance
paid monthly to her, and l. never
dream of insulting her by asking
her what she does with it.
my wife and I are not that
mushy conglomeration that the poet
described as two souls with but a
single thought Neither one of us
admire ourselves enough to want to
be united for lie to rubber stamp
of ourselves.

A BEDTIME STORY
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

but. Littlest Bear hadn't been spank
ed. She got off with nothing worse
than a scolding 1t was because she
was the littlest. SO it wasn't long
before she tried it again. Mother
Bear returned and found her play
ing on the ground. instead of UP in
the tree.
81 was so tired holding on up
there that just had to come down,
Whined Littlest Bear.
"Well, perhaps 1 did leave you up
there too long" SAID Mother Bear.
IF you were as big as your brother
and sister it would be different. But
you mustn't disobey again. Some
thing dreadful might happen to
you" 4
''Yes'm," replied Littlest Bear
meekly. But the very next time
Mother Bear sent them up tree
Littlest Bear was down just as soon
as Mother Bear was out of sight,
What was worse, she leased Brother
and Sister because they didn't dare
come down Littlest Bear was a
spoiled darling. There was no doubt
about it, she was a spoiled darling.

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

I'm fact, what attracted us to each
other and what keeps US perpetually
interested in each other is that we
are SO different and have such diff
ferent tastes. Most couples quarrel
over their differences and make
themselves perfectly miserable by
trying to make each other over acs
cording to their own pattern.
1--WE saved the situation by con-
ced.ng to each other the right to en-
joy our own pleasures in our own
way without comment or criticism
from the party Of the other part
Now I, for instance, am very
fond of boxing contests. Naturally,
my wife does not care for them. But
when I go to one I\do not have to
lie to her and sneak out of the house
to make a getaway, nor do / have to
stand for reproaches and tears and
q contemptuous demand to know how
can have such low taste as to en-
JOY seeing two brutes batter each
other up.
"On the contrary, my wife takes
it as a matter of course that l should
go where 1 please and come home
when I desire to, and I respond by
arranging that she shall go to the
theater or have some other amuse-
ment that she enjoys whenever
am out Of an evening.
There are too many men who feel
that they should have a monopoly
of all the fun in the family. They
forget that if there is a tired bust

version.
II go fifty-fifty with my wife in
trying to make a happy home. 1t is
generally considered that thatAis an
exclusively feminine duty. Women
are always being told that they must
meet their husbands with a glad,
sweet smile, and that they must look
attractive to their husbands and keep
their husbands interested.
Good. I am strong for wives in.
jecting all the pep they can into the
mush and milk of domestic life, but
why should women qualify exclusive

much up to a man to be a little ray
Of sunshine in the home as it is
for the woman to be?
1.-THE man establishes the home.
He is the official head of the house,
and it seems to me that he is more
responsible for it's well-being than
any one else.
And anyway, making a happy
nome is a two-handed job. Nobody
can do it alone. A woman might
smile her head off and she couldn't
create a CHEEKY atmosphere in a
house where there was a grouchy,
surly, growing husband. A man
might grin like a possum ana you
could still cut the gloom with a knife
if there was a peevish, fretful, whin-

Enjoyment Of Picture
Now Playing Marred
By Hardness.

During the presentation of 1.-THE
Woman With Four Faces at the
Rlalto theater today and Monday
those planning to attend are request
ed for their own sakes to be in their
seats before the picture starts. To
enter during the course of this Par
amount picture will be to miss half
the enjoyment and suspense. Being
a mystery drama. with thrills galore
and excitement radiating through
every reel, It must be seen in its en-
tirety to supply its definite quota of
entertainment.
Herbert Brenon. who produced tha
picture, is the master of drama. He
works with tense and suspenseful
style. His people are real. his Sc.
quences pile climax on climax.
This is the story OF a girl crook
who engages to help a district at
torney in his effort to root out a
n%efarious traffic. Betty Compson
who is featured with Richard Dix
in the production, appears in car
ious DISCUSSES, but in the end suc.
ceeds in her mission and wins the
love of the district attorney, por-
trayed by Mr.. Dix.

Success Proves Thrilling
And Dramatic Photoplay

Another stage play which lends it.
self to unusually fine adaptation as
n motion picture is Success"
which. under the same title, will be
seen for the first time today at the
Wyoming theatre. The film has n
dramatic story which is especially
well acted, and it has humor and
pathos combined in splendid meas
ure. In all, 1t has everything a
good picture should have. and It de-
serves to rank with the best films
this season.
To those who are interested in
the world of the theater. the photo
play affords a very intimate view of
back stage scenes. Since the whole
action centers about the life of an
actor. almost everybody in the film
and nearly all Of the characters are
of the stage. Scenes and types are
especially well chosen. and a great
deal OF the fascination which is ex-
erted by tho film can be explained
through this theatrical atmosphere.
