Buster Becomes Uneasy.
Uneasy feet are bound to roam
And tread the path away from home.
Old Mother Nature

Buster Bear was doing considerable
wandering about. He had to in order
to get food. The new home on the
ledgeS was very nice as a sleeping place,
but there was no food around there.
Now, in his wandering about, Buster
gradually worked over toward the farm
where lived the pigs in which he was
so much interested. He couldn't keep
his thoughts from those pigs. He wanted
another, but he had the feeling that to
get another he would have to run great
risks. It was question whether the pig
dinner would be worth the risks.
Twice during his wanderings Buster
saw hunters with terrible guns. He
didn't know that they we're looking for
him, but he suspected it. Each time
he very softly stole away and made
straight for his new home In the ledges
He wasn't followed, for in neither case
was he seen. But from then on Buster
was more uneasy than he had ever bean
in all his life. Never before had he been
hunted so. Being hunted gives one a
very uneasy feeling. Even when he was
in his new home up in the ledgeS he
was uneasy. He began to think seriously
of going back to the Green Forest on
the other side of the Great Mountain.
There he would not be hunted, for
Farmer Brown allows no hunting in
the Green Forest. But to go back would
be to give up all thought of a pig din
ner, and Buster wasn't quite ready to
do this just yet.
"If I can get Just one more pig"
thought Buster, "then I'll go back to
the Green Forest. Yes, sir, that's what
I'll do. One more pig will satisfy me. I
don't like this being hunted. I don't
see what those two-legged creatures
want to make such a fuss for over a
pig. Perhaps they want to eat those
pigs themselves" Buster never knew
how close to the truth he was when
he thought this.
After that he became more cautious
than ever; He no longer moved about
In the happy-go-lucky way In which he
used to. It was too dangerous. He had
the feeling that at any minute a bullet
from one of those dreadful guns might
strike him And, having felt one once,
he had no desire to feel another. Yet,
with It all, he couldn't make UP his

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MoLLIE MERRICK.


HOLLYWOOD, Calf, December Ii
Now and then a face emerges from the
limbo to which the passing of motion
picture years had reiegated 1t. Some
times, as with Warren Kerrigan, the re-
turn is only for one picture. But once
in a blue moon an old player stages
permanent comeback, and the most IN
teresting of these is Julia Swayne Cor
don.
II YOU were a movie-goer 20 years
ago. you saw the beautiful Julia Swayne
Gordon with the old Vitagraph COM
pany. She was the siren de luxe of the
f1ickering films. (And how they flick
cred in those daySD She was the beau
tiful actress with the world at her feet.
She was the gorgeous and damned who
lured the erstwhile perfect gentle from
the ways of grace for the time being.
Erstwhile- gentieS always came back to
the fold in the old days. Our movies
are becoming more and more natural
Then the craze for fresh young faces
swept the screen. Acting became a
problematic thing, for the world discov-
cred that there was such a thing as
cit" Jazz sprang into being, and with
it the playgirl. You couldn't make
playgirls out of those splendid beauties
who reigned in the days when Maurice
Costello, Leo Delaney, Arthur Johnson,
Florence Lawrence and John Bunny
kept the world of movies entertained.
So Julia Swayne Gordon, with her
perfect figure, regular features, pearl
earrings and mighty marcel-waved colt
fure, passed into oblivion with lot Of
other girls.
The fiapper came In and the statu-
esque beauty went out. Julia Swayne
Gordon went with her And the men
who had made love to these beauties
found their ways were too slow. their
manners too courtIy and gallant for the
new "red-hot" love scene as the modern
director wanted it.
Some Of these men were Delaney,
Maurice Costello, Johnson and Elliott

Putting q Value on It.

Putting q value on sit" when 1t Is
anything from fur coat to an Orien-
tai rug is not a matter of guesswork,
At least, it should not be. The trouble
with guesses is that they are. some
times wrong, and when property of
value is at stake it is worth while to
be thoroughly right.
Your fur coat has been taken out of
storage by now, but suppose 1t had been
lost or destroyed or damaged during the
Summer. Would the valuation you had
put on 1t be suficient to reimburse you?
Usually the storage charges are based
on the value of the coat. The few ex-
ira dollars 1t might cost to insure one
Of full protection are well spent.
When you have picture framed by
a store, a vale on the picture Is re-
queSted as matter of form. Granted
that majority of pictures have only a
moderate value, few of yours may
compose the valuable minority. Value
the. picture at least at its replacement
cost.
The storage of rugs entails about the
same problem as that of furs. Again
an accurate valuation is essential.
When making an inventory of valu-
ableS to be covered by insurance, 1t Is
advisable to be absolutely accurate.
First of all, false valuation or an in
accurate one will arouse the suspicious
of the insurance company and may re-
suit In a slow adjustment of ones
claims. An generalization may be the
cause Of one being denied any further
insurance, because Of the moral risk
such insurance would involve
There Is still another practical rea-
son for being accurate in an appraisal.
No matter what ones valuation may be,
before claim will be settled the IN
sured person must show proof Of value.
This would naturally mean showing a
bill Of sale, or other documentary proof.

Nut Brittle,

To make nut brittle, use walnuts,
pecans, peanuts or Brazil nuts cut in
pieces, shredded coconut or practically
any other kind of nut. Pulled breakfast
foods may also be used in place of nuts.
Cook two cupfuls of white corn Sirup
with two tablespoonfuls of vinegar and
half a teaspoonful of salt in a sauce
pan until little dipped in cold water
forms soft ball. Put two cupfuls OF
nut kernels into the sirup, pour into
an iron skillet and cook, stirring con-
stantly until the sirup becomes golden
brown. Remove from the fire and add
two teaspoonfuls of vanilla. Have
ready a shallow buttered pan, pour in
the candy and spread it out in a thin
sheet. After it is cool, remove from
the pan and crack into pieces.

| Tendencies i'm Skirt Lengths
BY MARY MARSHALL.

you would find it desirable to add this
extra inch or two for your new sports
clothes and tailored suits.
Certainly no one can complain OF
monotony in the present program of
fashion. Times have changed greatly
since frocks for morning, afternoon
and evening-for sports, dancing and
house wear-were all very much the
same straight one-piece sacks, differ
ing little save in material. Now there
are a dozen different Solhouettes with
which to vary your appearance.
The simple little tailored suit that
you will probably choose for street
wear next Springer for immediate
wear if you intend to pass the re-
mainder of the Winter in a mild
climates straight and Scant and
short. There are fairly short circular
skirts for sports wear, but the skirt of
the tailored suit is almost invariably
straight. Your afternoon frockS are, Of
course, longer, with q slightly uneven
hemline, and your evening frocks are
either very long or decidedly uneven,
with foundations coming Just below
the knees, while drapery here and
there extends to the ankles.
Don't make the mistake Of being too
sure that there is anything final in
the present tendency toward longer
skirts. There is. of course. the posi-
bility that fashion is really through
with the short skirt for the time being.
But there is also the possibility that
she isn't. There have already been
several ups and downs in the history of
the short skirt-and there is no proof
that the present down" may not be
followed by still another up"
