thid," is one of the deadliest enemies

One OF the surest ways for either
man or woman TO grow most dissat-
isfied with his own mate is for his
first love to be far away, and so to
remain, in his dreams, as she was
when he last saw her.
She Is clever and sweet. She
never looks tired and old In the
evenings. She never gets home late
from bridge parties, so that he must
wait for dinner. She always is well
dressed. but her clothes never cost
much.
The dream man. the first love, Of
the wife, loses neither his slim fig
ure nor his hair. He is as gentle
as dove. but as firm as the Rock

ness to the exclusion of everything

LETTER FROM BEATRICE SUM
MERS TO LESLIE PRESCOTT.

ME2S TO LESLIE PRESCOTT
Dear Leslie: am sorry-how
trite and cold those words seem
you know, however dear friend. that
the same words spoken by different
people take on entirely different
meanings
When | say ! am sorry it means
that I sorrow and sympathize with
YOU with all my heart You have
been in my thoughts ever since re
ceived Sally's letter
You have had much grief lately in
the deaths Of your father and sister,
Perhaps the greatest grief OF all is
the thought that one must go on liv-
ing the same old life, doing the same
old things. even thinking the same
old thoughts, when ones heart IS
desolate.
! found this out myself, dear
when I lost my father and mother in
that automobile accident many years
ago. I almost resented when a
thought outside my grief crept into
my brain and finally I realized that
the only way 10 live on was TO try
and eliminate grief as soon as posi-
BILE This may sound very hard. but
II is the only way.
Sally sent me some clippings from
the papers saying that you and your
mother We're going to Atlantic City
for little while and that after that
you might come out here That
would be glorious and I am sure it
would do you good. You would love
II out here In our sleepy little town
Of Hollywood.
expect that sentence Will make
even you smile.
II Is Il sleepy old town. dear. not
withstanding everybody outside II
Los Angeles seems to think it "a
noisy roaring gateway TO hell. The
trouble Is that the world and his
wife think they know well all the
picture people they see on the
screen. They are interested enough
In them not only to read but to gos-
sip about them and every little bit OF
scandal is caught up buthely and
flung from lip to lip. growing more
and more exaggerated each time it is
dexterously caught and flung out
again.
Most Of the motion picture actors
and actresses have just as much
privacy as Irwin Cobbs famous gold
fish I sometimes wonder II those
who roll the gossip OF their favorite
actors and actresses under their
tongues, would come out any better
if they We're all the while dlsportiug
themselves about in glass bowl
whore every one might see their an
tics.
Hollywood. my dear, is home OF
beauty. used to think that one had
to go to New York or Baltimore or
Washington to see the most beautl-
full exuberant youth on the globe
Right here on the Hollywood
Boulevard l have seen within three
squares more beautiful girls and
handsome young men than I have
ever seen in all the other three
places put together.
Beauty is one Of the things that
must be the stock-in-trade Of those
who want to be seen on the screen.
