Beauty of the Eyes.

standard treatment for this purpose is

Where Her Money Goes I?

Whenever you hear an extravagant
woman lament the passing of her
money, and express wonderment re-
garding its destination, you know fairly
well how it goes. Extravaganza may be
a particular rather than general
thing, but extravagances are common
In whole or part to many.
Among these extravagances are the
pairs of shoes we buy md cannot wear
because they are too short, or tight, or
uncomfortable. There are single stock
ings useless because their mates prove
TO be less hardy, and by error Of omission
we failed to buy two pairs of similar
shades.
Nor can one forget ones phantom
wardrobe of articles bought because one
was taking a trip TO some resort, or be-
cause the article was cheap, or because
1t caught ones fancy. There stand
these articles useless. worthless, but

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, September s.
Two things seem inevitable-that every
celebrated person should die some day
and that before they die they come to
Hollywood.
Within the last six months-Otto
Kahn and his party, Judge Ben Lind
Sey, Mayor Jimmie Walker. Carl Van
Vechten, the Prince of Sweden, Charles
Francis Coe-one could go on mdefl-
nitely.
Ali visitors to Hollywood want to do
one thing-See a picture being made.
They are taken into huge, barnlike
fusSing about with a phalanX OF lamps.
They trip in the dimneSs over endless
yards of rubber tubing and wire coiled
about, they dodge hanging scenery and
duck under weird crude beams.
They come out and stand upright in
q space just large enough to hold them
uncomfortably, and if they're lucky
they'll see a bit of action. More often
than not they stand for half an hour
Just viewing few weary extras pacing
up and down.
Questioning reveals that the staff is
working on lighting or camera angles.
They are always "just ready to shoot"
Just ready means anywhere from one
to three hours. And if highly emo
tional or important scene is to be done,
screens are drawn between the visitors
and the actors.
OF recent days there is less visiting
and more shooting. Pictures that often
took months are now done in 10 to 20
days. But a director must have such
troopers as Theodore Roberts or Lionel
Barrymore to do this really successfully.

Casual Talk.

In their casual moments people talk
about the things they think about
And most of their moments are casual.
| Therefore most talk is merely random
thoughts vocalized. AS often as not
these vocalizations are wishes.
The kind of thinking most Of the
| people do most of the time might just
as we'll be called day-dreaming. Day.
dreaming is a seeking for pleasure; so
is talking. Most people like to hear
! themselves talk, because they are en-
| joying a certain amount Of self-decep-
| ton. This comes quite close to being
rule.
The curious thing about this casual
| talk is that neither the speaker nor
the nearer fully understands it. The
| talker unconsciously misrepreSentS. He
| touches his fancieS and wishes in ethi-
cal terms and excavations that
amount to a real distortion Of his mo-
| tiveS and purposes. The listener Is
completely misled; SO is the speaker
to a growing extent.

What Johnnie is actually doing, N
describing the bad boys behavior, is
wishing he could do the same and get
away with it. Study him closely. and
you will find that he is trying to figure
out what would happen to him, If he
should behave as other boys behave.
Johnnie is interested in misbehavior
and it's consequences, or he wouldn't
be talking about It,
In the case of adults the motives
are of course harder to find. The
adult has had more experience in the
art of camoufaging. But it is there
just as surely, even to the point of
self-deception. You will not miss the
motives very far if you look with sus-
picion upon the person who confides
to you some whispered story about
another.

Haven't you often said. when you
were tired to the breaking point. that
you would be perfectly all right as soon
as you had q hot bath and a small nap?
And you found you were, too, refreshed,
back all rested, irritability gone, ready
to face the remainder of the day.
Children have less resistance than
adults, and less ability to conserve their
energies. They romp and race until
they are ready to drop, and still want
to play Who ever heard of child
who voluntarily sat down to rest?
The lessons we learn about our own
reactions ought to help us with the
children If we would only put them
into practice. When you find young
daughter unable to keep peace with the
neighbours children, yelling and scream
ing Historically, whining for something
to eat, or something more fun" to do,
realize that you are dealing with tired
child. This is no time to yell back that
if she isn't good you'll take her in the
house. Stop your work. Prepare a
warm bath for her and bring her in as
if to a delightful treat. Give her some
tub toys to play with and they'll be
even more satisfactory if they are kept
on a shelf and only used in such emer-
gencies. Let her stay in for 90 minutes
to half an hour. The forced inactivity
the warmth of the water, will let down
those frazzled nerves. The child will
be rested and calm when taken out
An ideal time for this warm bath is
just before lunch. Children who are
allowed to play right up to the moment
lunch is served are in no spirit to enjoy
it. They don't want to come in, they
don't want to leave their companions
they are worn out and irritable and
appetiteless The relaxation of the
warm bath puts them in proper mood
to enjoy their lunch and right after
wards they will be ready to go to bed
for their hour of rest or sleep.
The small girl or boy starting into
kindergarten and tired with new activ-
tiles and excitement will profit immeas-
urably by having his bath directly after
school even If lunch is put forward a
half hour because of it, Then he is
ready for rest period and an after
noon of play. OF course 1t takes time
If that must be consideration, mothers
have to drop what they are doing tc
attend to these things, but does it take
any longer than to try to calm a cry
ing child. or get your work done under
the constant provocation of whiny
child, who can't and won't be pacified?

THE SHOOTING MATCH.

and drove it into the target within an
inch of the head. j,
BE all ready to clinch it, boys" cried
out Pathfinder, stepping into his friend 5
tracks the instant they were vacant.
Never mind new nail; can see tfat,
though the paint is gone, and what l
can see I can hit at hundred yardS,
though it were only mosquitoes eye. BE
ready to clinch!"
The rifle cracked, the bullet sped its
way, and the head of the nail was
buried in the wood covered by the piece
of flattened lead.
The next trial was that of the potato.
A potato of large size was selected and
given to one who stood at the distance
of 20 yards from the stand. At the
word "Heave!' which was given by the
marksman, the vegetable was thrown
with a gentle toss into the air, and 1t
was the business of the shooter to pass
ball through it before it reached the
ground
The quartermaster missed. 1t re-
manned contest between Jasper and
Pathfinder-the one coming nearest the
center of the potato, if that could be
determined, to be the winner. If an
other trial were necessary, it would be
that of two potatoeS-to pass a bullet
taneously into the air.
But the prize was Silken calash, or
ladys hood, which Jasper earnestly de-
sired to present to Mabel. He told Path
| finder as much. His heart was set on
winning. Generous as Pathfinder was,
| he could agree only to miss by letting
Jasper come nearer the center OF the
| potato-and yet, so absorbed was he in
thoughts of Mabel, Jasper did not re-
aliZe that Pathfinder was not going to
shoot his best
The potato was thrown, Jasper fired,
and the shout that followed preceded
the announcement of the fact that he
had driven his bullet through its CEN
ter, or SO nearly SO as to merit the re-
ward.
Pathfinder was next. The potato was
| tossed, the rifle cracked-he seemed to
miss. But he said: THE skin--only the
| skim" Jasper had won the calash, which
he promptly and chivalrously presented
to the blushing Mabel.
Later, meeting Mabel alone near the
lake, Pathfinder was urged to speak to
her. Jasper earned that calash for

Press them firmly together. The butt

are tightly pressed together wrap them
in sheet of wax paper so that no air
can get into them and place IN the
refrigerator for four hours. Remove
from the refrigerator and slice down,
making each slice one-fourth inch
thick. Butter each slice again and
place them next to each other so that
a white square will come next to a
brown square and brown square next
