our own little parts, in the comedy of lfe Court customs of that day called for a king to employ a clown with cap and bells. Like the hard worked business man of today, the king required little diversion at times. All work and no fun makes of life dull thing. just as all fun and no work seldom fail in time to produce a jaded appetite for play.
 NO matter how much of taste one has for sweetmeats, if kept on an exclusive diet of them that taste in time would become satiated, And yet the taste could be retained if sharpened occasionally by the salt acid of a dill pickle, the most pie beian of appetizers.
 Tt Is the same with the greatest masterpieces of literature or music. They will pail on the mind if never favored with the leavening qualities of commonplace things. A jazz tune once in F while is to the musical taste what cocktail is to the physi cal; it lends zest to the appetite for richer foods.
 "A proper balance, that Is the thing-a happy medium. Grand fathers clock ran true for ninety years against the wall because its tick was regulated by properly bal anced pendulum. So it is in the so cial life of today-I hope l won't think I'm featuring, but I think there are certain things about life today that call for complaint and criticism. Not all of society, by any means-I don't mean society in the broad sense but the society Of the Sunday papers-either in this city or elsewhere, is made up Of vain and frivolous women and brainless men, like Freddie Lawrence, for instance. The people you saw last night con- stitute just the froth. the air-filled bubbles in the brew of society that rise to the top like the froth on beer. But you and I like our beer at times and we like to see the froth because it is q part of the whole, and yet we blow it away or drink through it when we drink our beer.'
 Prof nodded slowly. You're right And the girls-they must see life in it's various aspects in order to get a sense of proper values"
 Since then Freddie has been known as the talented young writer and director of amateur picture plays And as if that were not enough to wither his chances in life, some artless debutante has takeA it upon herself to switch the handicap of talented to 'handsome.'
 And right away Freddie went out and bought himself a new vanity set and started in to teach the pret- tiest ones how to register the Di- vine Thrill.' Really, girls, you must become better acquainted with Freddie Lawrence"
 'T don't think" Rusty whispered for they were standing not far away from the one under discussion T don't think I'm going to like him."
 Clayton laughed. "Oh, you mustn't say that. my dear. Nature doesn't very often turn out Freddie Law renee. He is rare" And he moved away.
 Following the dinner the guests and their host gathered in the draw ing room, and Betty, through some whim of persersity, mentioned to her uncle, in the hearing of Freddie Lawrence, that it had been her am bition at one time to become a movie star.
 Freddie yipped delightedly. "Oh, you don't mean it, Miss Marvin! l should love to give you a few point CTS and then see how you register for the camera."
 John Clayton grinned and bestow- cd on Betty an indulgent look. Why" he suggested, don't you take him up?"
 Freddie" piped up sweet young thing in red, 'is the one grand little instructor in registration, if that's the word! You can take it from one as knows." This last with a signifi- cant emphasis and a slow wink at the twins.
 Freddie withered her with chill ing look, and then turned to Betty.
 What do you say, Miss Marvin?" he asked eagerly, with a languishing look into her eyes. Wouldn't you like to find out if you have moving picture possibilities
 The sweet young thing In red shouted, Come here, everybody, Freddie's got new pupil." and clapped her hands
