 Just exactly one-ONE-imported star is firmly established in the eel luloid factories, and that one is Greta Garbo.
 What has happened to Greta Nissen? To Lya de Putti? And to . score of others who were even less noted?
 Incidentally, what did really hap pen to Pola Negri? What has she done-if anything-since the time she appeared over here in Passion" and created something nneresthan a furore?
 Did Negri's vogue wane-or was she given too many sausage" pie lures?

 Among all the players mentioned above. Greta Garbo seems to have taken hold" the best. Miss Garbo came here unheralded. She enjoyed none of the publicity that preceded Negri and Jannings. Greta was just another foreign leading woman and took chance on being taken or left. Of course, Miss Garbo was
 fortunate in the important matter of
 casting. She invariably found her
 self in good stories and this right from the start. She was a new type
 and. besides being a type, she could |act. It seems that Greta just
 couldn't do anything that wasn't in- teresting and, according to our beJt authorities. it is better to be inter, esting than beautiful.

Rushing Prince Charming.


You can rush q man to death--hut
you can't rush him into marriage.
That's my story and intend 70 SUCK
to 1t.
Easiest thing In the world nowadays
TO give a man a rush. In our grand
mothers day the girl simply couldn't
invite q man to do anything but call
on her on a Sunday evening, and then
he had to ask first.
But today-4ah me, there are q mil
lion opportunities for the huntress.
She may ask Mr.. Man to her sorority
or club dance. She may call for him IN
her car. she may have her father buy
theater tickets which she begs Mr. Man
to use,
And the besieged male may accept all
her invitations, grateful for q few mex
pensive good times In this generation
Of gold diggers.
He may have q good time with the
lady who is so relentlessly pursuing him.
He may think of her as a good kid, and
In O friendly spirit return the courtesy
by inviting her to some sort OF feStivity.
Out of this series of invitations and
good times there may form very real
friendship. But what good Is friendship
to q girl who has fallen nadly in love
with q certain party? No good at all.
She might just as well have saved the
money and taken herself to the theater
and dance alone.
No matter how modern we all grow
we still have our little, old convention
alitieS, and one Of them Is deep rooted
in every mans mind-that he must do
the hunting.
This doesn't mean that no girl should
ever take matters into her own hands
when the object of her affections Is
shy and needs q gentle push.
Certainly, If the hero be backward and
shy the heroine should be bit ag-
gressive and bold-but only In such a
way that her quarry should not suspect
her dark plot.
There Is no earthly use in hurting
ones self ut mans head while he's
looking. Each lunge causes him TO re-
treat farther and farther away.
After all, what Is the mans reason
ing when q girl purSues him with
phone calls, invitations, touching little
notes, ETC.? He Is bewildered, fiattered,
and not O little bit pleased. After all,
It's not every man who receives a per-
feet avalanche of attention from q
charming young thing.
But as time goes on and he continues
to be the recipient of too much atten-
ton, his interest flags. After all, he
figures, she must be fairly hard up for
company to pursue o comparative
stranger 80 relentlessly.
That's exactly the wrong impression
for any girl to make on him whom she
loves.
The girl who rushes Prince Charm
ing Is successful very Seldom-uSually
when she is wealthy and Prince Charm
Ing is q confirmed fortune-hunter.
Otherwise, in her determined attack
on her mans affections she destroys the
very essence of any true affair-the
pleasant comedy of timid maiden cap
tured by big, strong herman.
A clever girl may often vamp q man
Just as surely and steadily as If she
were openly rushing him. But he never
knows about the whole thing. so
romance Is saved, and the ancient su-
perStition that maid must be wooed
and that man must be the wooer is
kept intact.

Every hostess should have q few good
recipes for salad dressings that are dif-
ferent enough in flavor to use to dress
up plain salads There are many times
when nothing but q plain green salad
win do, but some higher flavor than
that given by regular French dressing
Is needed.
one Of the best OF these Is what I
call q Spanish dressing and Is made
with French dressing as base. For
six people, mix one-half cup OF salad
one-han teaspoon OF salt, one-half tea
spoon OF Worcestershire sauce. one tea
spoon Of chopped olives or Of the sprouts
that grow In the top of old onions. and
two tablespoons of chilli sauce or tomato
catSup. Beat these all together with Q
silver fork until the mixture Is thick and
creamy. Serve with hearts Of lettuce,
coleSlaw or watercreSS salad.
A cream-of- tomato dressing is another
excellent one to use for the eyer-popular
hearts Of lettuce. This Is made BY
mixing three tablespoons Of tomato
catS1p and two tablespoons Of cream
with one-half cup Of thick mayonnaise.
Season with little extra salt and just
O dash Of onion juice OK onion salt.
This has q pretty pink color. but Is
quite different In flavor from the more
familiar Russian or Thousand Island
dressing.
A pale-green mayonnaise piquantly
favored Is good to serve with potato
salad. with tuna fish or white fish
salad. or with endtve To make 1t, add
one tablespoon Of very finely minced
parsley, tablespoon Of fine-chopped
sweet pickles and q tablespoon OF
minced chives TO one cupful Of well
seasoned mayonnaise. Color with Q
little green vegetable colorfng and. II
possible, let stand for about one-hali
hour before serving. It may even be
made in quantity and kept IN covered
jar until ready to serve.
For dandeIion salad or q mixed green
salad made Of shredded lettuce, water
creSs. dandelions or any combination
Of greens. q very popular dressing in
one OF the large hotels Is made BY mix
ing together one-half cup Of olive oil,
two tablespoons. Of vinegar, Q teaspoon
Of chopped chives, q teaspoon Of minced
parsley, two very fneiy-chopped hard
boiled eggs and q little green pepper.
