THINE was when we limited our.

Yet we complain that we wish
more time for work we would like
to do.
We spread our days over long,
tedious hours and our amusements
go far into the night. Few of us
have proper rest. Sleep is thing
snatched grudgingly; hardly a one
of us devotes an occasional hour
to calm, serene meditation-to
taking stock of ourselves, our
aims and our lives.
The sad part of the thing Is
that there is reason for our plant,
We don't have enough time!
The trouble isn't with the num-
Der Of hours in the day or the
number of days in the week. It's
in our mental attitude.
We do our work under a sense
of pressure. This causes confus.

Mere rushing up and down accom-

And we do one thing while
thinking of the dozen and one

They went on.
Purple.blue twilight came down
over the wide white street. and
yellow lights began to sparkle and

of the ocean into the street. and
the pepper trees in a lot filled
with used automobiles began to
sway gently.
Bobbie caught her breath
sharply at the sight of them-of

their wind shields. Somehow they
made her think Of Andy Jerrold.
His face came before her-his

thought about Stella Delroy. She
seemed so bitter. so disiIlusioned.
She was like a little girl with a

has run out.
''I hope Hollywood doesn't do to
me what it's done to her." she
told herself. She put up a hand
in the darkness and touched her
face and hair. How soft and

lazily what color it had been
before Mrs. Mangan got busy
with her paint brushes.
The next morning Bobbie went
to q photographer on Wilcox

She had 1t taken full face and side
view. She had it taken when she
wore hat and a fur boa, and
when she wore q chiffon evening
gown and had her hair fluffed
around her face like golden flax.
The pictures would not be ready
for two days. And those two days
were likely eternity to Bopbie.
She went to moving picture

At the Studio
One morning she went out to
Culver City, where some of the
greatest studios stand. She had
a wild idea that perhaps some d.
rector-some producer might see
her, and suddenly decide he
needed her in a picture. After
all she was a type, and miracles
did happen sometimes.

her mouth was q round scarlet

1t was then that Bobbie looked
at the man. and saw that he was
looking at her. He was a big
blond man with nice. friendly

ice-blue eyes that held Boobies

from him.
Out in the street she asked

She took Boobies arm and
steered her into a big open-air

they bought coffee and sugar and

Of scores was allowed to permit the

The excellence Of the trophies
