Then her big brown eyes light up
and her brown hair swings with the
busy movements of her head, and her
careful little voice takes on color and
her hands express all the things that
her tumult of words neglects.

travelling. We went to the west
Indies, where I heard the ioveIiest
pirate stories. and later we went up
to Canada, which ID also very nice.

And suddenly as we looked at that
little figure, in her little simple dress
and coat, with her bright eyes show

Of the love and care that obviously
surround her, we saw the only thing
left for hopeless old wrecks Of
twenty. That's to become parents
and to tenderiy guard the talent of
such nice little girls as Betty Gulick.

After meeting Jackie Coogan one
week and Betty Gulick another you
feel like a wandering anachronism.
Betty Gulick is ten. She goes to pub
lie school No. 153 in Brooklyn and is
in 5B class. She plays with dolls and
loves to walk in the woods. That's
we think. But when you learn that
she is the writer of song which has
already earned her nearly five thou
sand dollars in royalties. that she
talks frequently over the radio for the
benef1t of some millions of our popu-
lation, that she records her own
stories for one of the larger phono-
graph stores, that her original writ
ings are syndicated through the
major papers of the country - well,
then you feel like a piece of period
