Gopher Is Proud of His Home
Honest pride is good 10 see,
As honest folk will all agree.

When Gopher the Tortoise told Dam
ny and Nanny Meadow Mouse that
that hole they had looked at going
way. way down into the ground was
his home they were quite as much
surprised as they had been when he
had told them that he was not Tur-
tie. but a Tortoise.
"It looks like a very fine home"
said Danny.
"It is" replied Gopher. Yes, sub,
IT is. Ah'm proud of that home.

dug it,"
Danny.
Ever since All dug It," replied Co
pher.
Danny looked at Nanny, and Nanny
looked at Danny. In the eyes of both
was unbelief "Do you mean TO say
that you expect us to believe that you
dug that hole?" demanded Danny.
"Yes, sub, All certainly do, suh."
Ah'm not in the habit of telling things
that are not so. suh." 1t was clear
that Gopher was somewhat offended.
But Turtles don't dig holes way
down in the ground like that" pro-
tested Danny.
"Ah toll you. sub. that All am not a
Turtle, but Tortoise, and that makes
all the difference in the world" re-
piled Gopher with a great deal of dig
nifty. "Ah dug that home mahself.
sub. and Ah'm proud of it,
TT is a fact" said d new voice.
"Why, bless my eyes, if this isn't

Danny and Nanny looked up to find
Mocker the Mockingbird looking down
at them with such surprise in his
eyes that they just had to laugh. At

Mocker had spent several summers up
in the Old Orchard and Danny and
Nanny had become very well ac-
Quainted with him.

Mocker, talking to himself.

You Really Can't Imagine Such
Thing,

Imagine a woman who would turn
from the cinema to cooking; who
would rather fry than film; who pre-
fers the cookstove to-well. to Cecil
De Mile. let us say.
Til admit it's a strain on ones
credulity. When you think OF the
women all over the world who would
turn from their kitchens to the kliegs
without a CULVER OF an eyelash. it
makes what Sylvia Ashton. better
known as Mother Ashton, has done
all the more amazing. This is a
world of delightful unexpectedness
any way you look at it.
Sylvia Ashton played in stock COM
panies for fifteen years prior to her
screen career, which has included
such pictures as "Old Wives for
New," "why Change Your Wife,
rs Matrimony a Failure?' Man
slaughter" and. most recently, "Souls
for Sale" and Greed" Eric Won
Stroheim's as yet unreleased new
production.
When. the other day. sitting with
her in the tearoom which she has
recently opened, asked her II she
would ever go back 10 tne SCREEN
she said, mo-" with so much positive
ness and emphasis that I pressed the
question no further.
Not" she said, that I have any
grudge against the screen or the
people on It. Far from it," And she
thereupon regaled me with such
glowing praise Of Rupert Hughes and
Eric Won Shroheim. the brothers De
Mile and Gloria Swanson that l was
again and again fully answered.
'I just wasn't in my right sphere.
she said. that is. not any longer.
The old beauty Is going, and the
work Is not what it once was. In

ed for over three months. was frozen
and roasted, fell of horses. was ex-
hausted. and. when the picture was
cut and released, all that remained
of my labors was one closeup. II

it's the way things go with people
who do my type of work: And SO.

Straig ght Hanging Wells for Hats
ny ANNE RITTENHOUsE.

Within recent seasons women nave
had to unlearn all they ever knew
about the gentle art of putting on
. veil. They have had to acquire an
entirely different technique in the
matter Once American women had
the reputation of knowing better
than any other women in the world
how to perform this difficult task.
fore again some women are hoping
that the old trick will be revived.
But theirs is a misguided hope.
Present hats no less than present
headdresses call for something quite
different in the way of Veil treat
ment.
Usually the veil is placed securely
on the hat and then left hanging
straight. 1t is never used on large
hat nowadays save as part OF its pre-
wear a yeil---or at least we should
MOTTO keep the hair in order, be-
cause the fashionable head of hair
has already been so subdued and well
disciplined that nothing short or
Kansas cyclone would induce it to
get out of place. The straight. loose,
hanging veil merely seems to ac-
centuate the severe sickness of the
hair beneath.
Wells are certainly not chosen as
a matter of necessity nowadays.
Hats never stayed on more securely
and hair was never less inclined to
waywardneSS. Yet wells are smart
and are selling in large quantities
II is perhaps because they are merely
an accessory of purely decorative
Significance that women are SO eager
TO buy them.
Almost any small. close fitting hat
may be given a new aspect by the ad
dition of little chenille dotted veil!

The Jumpy Child.

Is there a iumpy child in your

never pausing long enough to get the

Gathering way.
The teacher struggles with him
from day to day, but he cheerfully
answers her appealing request for
the product Of seven times nine with
an explosive "seventy-three." just rs
on the first day when his choice was
forty-one. In despair the teacher
sends home a deficiency blank, and in

The jumpy child profits little by
