"Who is there9D asked the bun.

that he wished he hadn't said a

Fox or the Wozzie Wolf!' thought
the bunny.
But when a voice answered and
said: 81 am Uncle Butter, the
goat" Uncle Wiggily felt happy.
"Comc right in, Uncle Butter! F."
he called, opening the door. "What
kind wind blew you here today
when l am all alone?''
No wind blew me--what do you

goat. 81 came by myself and l
brought these.o and in his hoof
he held out two large red apples.
"Those are fine apples" said
Uncle Wiggily. "What are you GO

"Well, I'm not going to play

striking success in some particular
field of theatrical endeavor, and that's
just exactly the curse CLANCY is try

The first recorded instance of
Chaney's remarkable knowledge OF
makeup was registered in his per-
formanoe in THE Miracle Man. and
from that time on every time direc-
tor picked up a manuscript with a
grotesQue character part he instinc-
lively remarked, What u part for

AS a matter of fact, he is one of
the finest pantomimists in screen
land. His father and mother were
both deaf mutes, and all the CLANCY
children learned the sign Language
as kids and acquired a code of panto :
mimic expression which proved an
excellent experience for his work as
a mimic.
Now he is determined to stand or

piece bathing SUITS" she says. I'VE
had been enthusiasts of aquatic
sports since childhood. This would

were trying for vulgar display. My
mother, now past sixty and still
adept in the art of high diving, be-
gan to teach us as children, and there
is not one in the, family of eleven
who cannot dive and swim as well as
the other.
''As we grew older and went in for
fancy diving we found. as all divers
discover, that the frills found on the
proper bathing suits were not only
in our way but dangerous The
rush Of wind often blew the friIls
to such an angle as to blind our
vision and result in a hazardous or
imperfect dive. The one-piece suit
was then q necessity. -
"Of course, there are the beach
sirens who must have the fri1ls and
dash of color. Their main object is
to attract attention, not to learn how
to swim. 1t is they who have made
