was,. if she would come
there.
"Now she's going to him

She helped Leota bring

TT seems incredible that
adults should evince
such cruelty as to de- :
liberately admit to one child
that a brother or sister is
the favorite in a family. But
it is being done, and l sup
pose has. been done ever since
families boasted more than
one offspring.
First of all / can't under
stand how a parent can care

"DEAUTIFUL smooth skin is the
~ great heart winner" George II.
Melford, famous movie director, thus
expresses the experience Of SO leading
Hollywood directors.
"The public certainly takes to its
heart the actress with a skin that
shows fawless-faultlessly smooth
under the terrific test of the closeup
lights" he continues. "Such a skin is
prime factor in making her a star"
The Washington times., 1929-09-09

One child may be more
easily understood by you
than another. This child
may react so much like
yourself to affection or dis
appointment or rebuke, that
you Immediately sense his
inmost feelings. A second
child may react in a manner
which makes you ponder
and wonder just why he did
so and so. But / can't see.
why this should make you
love one more than the
other.
Even though you protest
that you just can't help
being drawn to one of your
children more than the rest,
| see no excuse for your
hurting the favorite or the
others by verbally admit
ting this fact. or you really
do hurt the one you claim
to love most by favoring him
and pampering him, you
know. And you hurt the
other child by the cruel
knowledge that brother or
sister has first claim to your
heart.
Take for instance a family
/ know consisting of two
boys and a girl. One boy
is openly the favorite of the
mother. The other boy is
the apple of Fathers eye.
And the little girlf She
just doesn seem to mean
anything to any of them.
BUT she is the child who
gets up clubs, organizes
hikes and is most popular
with her in the eye, expect
ing no favors, grateful if she
gets an even break. Tough
on the child, yes, but she
will go so far ahead of the
darling boys that there will
be no comparison. 1t is
brutal to so early make
child self-sufficient, going to
no one for condolences, ask
ing no one for intimate ad-
vice, finding no friendly
shoulder on which to weep
out her childish griefs.
The parents would do any
thing for their pet boys, but
they are doing the most
cruel thing they could de-
wise by playing favorites
with them. The boys lack
the power to make decisions,
to stand up and take life s
punishments like men. They
are weaklings, and only the
bitterest knocks will ever
trounce them into real man.
hood.
So remember, when you
lean toward one child more
than another, that you are
hurting your favorite a
great deal more than you
are the child who doesn't
appeal to you. He'll get
along somehow, but it S hard
shedding when the favorites
are turned loose in the
world.

Probably, said Leota.
'But I've got to have some

Once more Ann Marie
turned to go out of, the
room.
IAN right. Wait a min
ute, she said again.
Mrs. Leezy was asleep on
her bed, snoring all up and
down the scale, when Ann
Marie opened the door of
her room and shook her.
She sat bolt upright and
stared wildly.
"Great heavensl What's
happenedi" she cried out.
"Don't ever wake me up
like that again, girl! You We
given me a shock III never

days! What is it you want,
for mercy's sake3'
"About $780," answered
Ann Marie. "And l want
it right away.
On the top of Mrs. Leezy's
dresser lay her old brown
suede handbag.
Ann Marie picked it up
and handed it to her.
"Please don't tell me you
haven't that much !" she
cried. eff you haven I
don't know what l WILL
dol"
Muttering and still con-
fused with sleep, Mrs.
Leezy's work-worn hands
went through the bag, toss
ing keys and handkerchief
and old letters out upon the
bed-spread.
At last she held out three
$40 bills. "There It's, =" she
said, shifting. you'll pay
it back to me, won't you?
| put it aside for my insur-
anee money"
Her anxious voice followed
Ann Marie down the stairs.
Leota had come OUT Of
the sewing-room and was
standing at the bottom of
the steps, looking at the
cheap little silver watch on
her wrist.
Ann Marie flung her the
money and flew into the
back parlor, where Mr.. Macy
was still doing on the
couch.
Slipping softly past him,
Ann Marie sat down at his
desk and wrote out a check
for fIeota. i" - It was a
check for $1O4.5O, and it
was for every penny that
Ann Marie had in the whole
world.
"Send me your address in
New York, Leota,' she said,
when she handed over the
slip of paper to Howdy's
ex-sweetheart. =" And III
send you the rest just as
soon as / can. T"
Leota looked doubtful.
"I'll give you my friends
address now" (" she decided.
"You can send it to him,
and he can give it to me.
He'll know where I am. -
She took from her hand
bag a large square white
envelope covered with fine,
dashing writing-the envel-
ope that Ann Marie had seen
on her desk that morning.

IN NEW YORK

New York, Jan 10.-Just a gentle
hint to the stage-struck girls and
boys-l7,OO0 actors are now pounding
the pavements Of Broadway looking
for work
Yes, it's great life-this stage
life!
Nothing to do but look for work,
and when you get 1t nothing to do
but pray that the show keeps running
for more than three weeks. Nothing
to do but work II hours day in re-
hearsal and then finally open only to
learn in the next mornings paper
that your show is headed for sure
failure. Then there's nothing to do
but trust that you can collect your
wages. pay off the landlady and eat
somehow or other while going around
looking for another job.
What with this reason and what
with that, there are 10000 legitimate
actors whose shoe leather is being
worn thin in walking from office to
office; there are 5000 vaudeville ac-
tors in the same fix and something
like 1000 "transients," which means
chorines and such.
Oh. yes, you'll hear that this is a
particularly bad season-and it Is.
But it is also true that the ranks
of the performing business have been
increasing from year to year It Is
also true that any one of the 1900
jobless might be you.
And what happens when $1,000
ladies and gentlemen of the enter
tainment business are Flooding
Broadway desperately trying to get
the price Of hash and beans?
Well. hundreds of them swallow
their thcspian pride and go to work
in the ribbon and dry goods de-
partmentS.
Hundreds more turn up the frayed
and dirty ends OF their cuffs, crush
their trousers into press or wash
their waists in the bathtub and face

you going to do about it" look in their
eye.
None is more patient than the

There's little world in the the

little worlds. It has hGd years of
experience in the other fellows prob
lens. and it is prepared to share the
good times with the bad times. All
the business folk know that an actor

 Newell Dwight Hills, pastor emeri-

 Mrs. Robert S. Kellogg, in the J Bronx. He was seventy-one years of age. The Associated Press has the following to say of his career: Assuming the pastorate of the
 Plymouth Congregational church.
 Brooklyn, before he was 40 years ! old, the Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight
 Hills devoted his life much the
 same as did his two predecessors, Dr. Henry Ward Beecher and Dr.
 Lyman Abbott, dividing his time
 between his church duties and lit
 erature. Henry Ward Beecher, one
 of the most widely known preachers
 of the country, became pastor of
 the church upon it's organization in 1847 and served it until his death in 1887. period of 40 years. During that time his sermons and writings attracted attention not only to himself but to his church, , which became one of the most fam ous in the country Dr. Abbott,
 the second pastor served from 1888
 to 1899. a period of II years, and
 he was succeeded by Dr. Hillis, the
 service of the three men in Ply

 than three-quarters of a century. Dr. Hillis took an active inter est in patriotic work especially af- ter America entered the world war Roosevelt was endeavoring to get permission to take division to France he selected Dr. Hills to go with him as divisional chaplain, 1 commission that Dr Hills greatly desired to accept. The clergyman l delivered many sermons and ad- 1 dresses in which he scathingly de-
 nounced the Germans for their all leged atrocities and brutality. Tn
 order to get first-hand information l he went to France in September
 1917 and made a trip over the
 ground that the German armies
 had evacuated. Upon his return to the United States he preached a series of sermons on German atroc- ities, the marks of many of which ! he had seen. He said the former | kaiser, and not the rest of the | world. had caused the word Hun
 to be applied to the Germans, Dr.
