Well, run the Rattletrap up to the garage then," said Phil cheerful ly. "Hamill will carry your things upstairs. If Ginger has taken you in hand you'll probably be doing portraits in Red Thrush the rest of your nfe."
 Do you mean you you still want me-you will let me stay a while?" he demanded boyishly. "of course" said Phil. as one surprised. We are a parsonage. We would never dream of retract- ing an invitation. They're really great" she added in a tone of friendly confidence. You'll like them when you get on to their little ways. Will you bring your car up?'
 He ran down the steps at once, laughing with pleasure. "But. Ginger" began MT Tolliyer in a puzzled voice, eff you did not know the boy. what did you want him to stay for?"
 "Oh, father" said Ginger. IT. was-so bored."

THE SEA WOLF
 At THE NE WGARDEN

Pioneering in sea going talkies. the Fox Movietone version of Jack London's famous novel, "The Sea Wolf" makes it's salty bow to local screen fans today at the New Gar den theater. Milton Sills, two listed and belligerent as ever, is Ideally cast as the domineering but intel lectual central figure, who quotes abstract philosophy and quells mu- tinous sailors with equal nonchal- ance. Jane Keith and Raymond Hackett take the juvenile honors while Mitchell Harris, Nat Pendle- ton and John Rogers give perfect support.
 Beginning with the fierce battle between the Wolf and his brother and deadliest enemy, Death Larsen. the picturesque scenes of Hakodate and the shanghaing of the young waster. "The Sea Wolf" gets away to a colorful and exciting start It's drama revolves about the unus- ual triangle of the brutal Wolf, the boy and the alluring girl of the port who mysteriously ships aboard the "Ghost."
 The companion feature is "Little Accident" A merry mixup of brides and babies in a madcap com edy of modern life which bubbles and sparkles with the champagne

Dear me, I'll never get through! Look at these toys, Eva May-al1 over the place again and I've just cleared them up!"
 Bert, when you went out you didn't put your muffler on. Now you'll be having croup tonight if l know anything"
 There's the bell. declare I rever put my hands into the flour that someone doesn't ring"
 No one can really blame busy mother for speaking her thoughts aloud-I suppose it eases the ten- sion to dump our annoyances into the air. But that Is all 1t does do, this verbal complaining. It doesn't help particle and it is depressing to everyone, especially the children.
 The children need to be told. but not every time they turn around. Of course Eva May will leave her toys scattered about, and Bert wouldn't be boy, if he didn't forget his muf- fer.
 Perhaps Eva May would be more orderly if she had been taught that order was Q help to everyone, when she was quite little, and that she was was over if she would gather her things up and put them in the big corner box.
 But she has, no doubt, heard this precise complaint several times a day for several years and 1t has never come to anything, for she has ceased to listen. She would be sur- prised if the complaint didn't matc- rialize.
 And Bert, too, never having had serious side of his croup impressed cn him, and his responsibility in try ing to keep himself well, lets the daily reminder go in one ear and out the other.
 The whole waking day is full of petty annoyances, such as the door, bell ringing the minute we get some place we can't answer 1t. But that is life, and so are the mussy toys and so are the mufflers, and the dog tracks on a clean porch, and the pie bubbling over, and the rain on half- dried clothes. and frozen water pipes, and the neighbours radio, and the grease spots on dads new suit and everything. Just everything.
 Our families don't listen and ben- eft by our muttering, but they do listen subconsciously and pick up 8 little of the acid themselves. It might be called resentment if 1t were analysed, or boredom, or mere- ly a perpetual mutual grouch and intolerance.
 Intolerance spreads. In a family where the mother voices new grievance every few minutes, the ether members soon learn to bite at each others heads for every little thing that happens.
 There is no home like the quiet happy one, where everyone from mother down learns to smile and sing a bit, and better still acquires that heaven bred accomplishment of keeping ones small troubles to one self. Make your words few is Q rule adopted by one of the newest systems of teaching. We might think that over.

The card which had accompanied sybil's roses was found in the waste paper basket.
 The writing on the card and the torn sheet of paper were compared, but Mir Merryshan shook his head. They aren't alike, Jack. I'm afraid we're off at tangent again."
 T know. One slants and one doesn't. And one uses round let- ters and the other makes them thin" Jacks eyes were still scrut- inizing the writing, though. "But whoever wrote the thin ones worked mighty hard to make them that way" Sue interrupted. Cant you see how studied that writing is? And look! The 't's' are crossed exactly alike."
 "But why would anyone try to disguise his or her writing on a slip of paper that was going to be thrown away almost at once?" Mrs Merryman asked. "It seems like a lot of work for nothing"
 T know it," Jack nodded and his gray eyes flashed her a sympa- thetic, understanding smile. "But sometimes people with crooked brains do queer things. May l have the card? You don't want to keep 1t among your souvenirs, do you, Mrs Merryman?'
 Are you going to have the writ ing compared by an expert?" Sue asked, and Jack nodded.
 "Pll send it right off and have the man wire his answer. There's an expert. one of the biggest au- thorities on the subject anywhere, who ought to examine it." He named the city where he lived, one about 50 miles away. She was formulating an idea
 "Jack, the trial opens tomorrow and the envelope might be lost in the mail. Couldn't I go over on the next train? Then I could call you as soon as I know"
 So in less than 30 minutes Sue was sitting in the chair car. watch ing the country slip by. She clos ed her eyes and hoped that nothing eventful would happen this time. She was beginning to feel tired when she was quiet.
 She noticed the 1uster of the fur coats which the few other women in the car were wearing, but she felt no envy. Somehow material things were growing less and less important every hour. But she was secretly glad that she had a new outfit for the trial
 "I have to have it." she told the flying trees. Everything was wearing out. And it is good lock- ing" Appraisingly she eyed the soft black wool dress which used dark green crepe de chine in the sleeves and neck. Her eyes ran down to the high -heeled green suede pumps that matched, then found the tweed coat, also green. whose col lar and narrow belt were in keep ing with the coming spring mode.

In the months preceding Christ mas most women are 50 busy plan- ming for the holidays that they do not have time to refurnish their homes. Then comes Christmas with its gay trappings of red and green and silver and gold. The house looks as dressed up as the Christi mas tree itself. Arrives the day when the decorations are taken down, and that Is the time when the house looks dingy. It was just at that time that 8 shop offered to give lessons in lamp shade making. Did the women flock down to the shops studios? Indeed they did. Here are some things they learned:
 Shades may be made of inexpen- sive papers like manila, wrapping, wall, shelf, drawing or detail papers. Frames, sturdily built, may be pur- chased or made to order at slight expense.

hopes of a sale or two. I brought 1ew With me. l suppose you wouldn't care about seeing them" he added suggestively.
 The artist in him ignoring all conventionalities of time and place, he eagerly pulled out a big square case, carefully wrapped in an old blanket which he quickly removed, laughing with ingenious pleasure.
 This first one--you're really safe In saying it's rather good" he said. Tt got honorable mention ever so many times :n Paris and Vienna, and has won me three cash prizes. It's a battlefield in E'rance-early morning -, all gray mist. Those pale blurs are the crosses on the graves - everything swimming in the gray mist--bits of old entangle- ment, charred tree stumps, old she'll holes, farm implements of recon- struction--and white crosses - all blurred together into the gray sea Of morning. Do you like it?" That's good" said Phil slowly more impressed than she was ready to acknowledge. ,.
 II think 1t ;s exquisite," and Ginger passionately.
 Bard flushed with pleasure. This Is the old woman I bought my pa- pers of in Paris"
 Phil laughed. "I know her. In the Quartier. She sat on a three- legged stood so, near the curb that we were always breathless except ing her to so over head first. That's very good, my boy"
 This Is Eugenie. She was the chambermaid in our pension. She would never stand still long enough Tor me to get a proper sketch of her-I had to steal it, line upon line percept upon precept, when she was dashing in and out on errands. She held the corner of her apron to her lips like that when she was trying to speak English. Oh. they're not much-I'n young yet" he added with great assumption of careless ness. And he made an indifferent motion to toss them back into the car.

HILARIOUS NEW LAUGH
 SHOW WE'LL RECEIVED

Those two gorgeously crazy clowns Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey, who have established themselves within the past year as the greatest screen comedy team, deliver their funniest performance to date in Half Shot at Sunrise" which opened yesterday at the Lyric theater and closes with to-nights performance.
 Furnished with an unusually amu- sing story in the form of wartime comedy, the team cuts loose in rol- licking entertainment and runs wild.
 Audiences were in constant up- roar. The picture emerges as one of the most genuinely hilarious en- tertainments the screen has ever known.

ribbon had cost a ridiculous sum, but she had decided that she would be in harmony. Her gloves and pocketbook were of black suede, but they, too, were new.
 T look prosperous" Sue reflect ed, crossing her silken legs. 'Its strange how new clothes can add joy to life. I feel !. successful"
 But almost at once the memory of her father, in the new blue suit, which he had bought for the trial. came to her mind. Oh, what did 1t matter that she was young and slim and lithesome, if he must suf- fer? she thought, and went to the home of the chirographer, still thinking of it. A telegram from Jack had preceded her and she was granted admittance at once.
 When she returned for the verdict an hour later her heart was beat ing rapidly.
 "What did you fnd?" she asked.
 NEXT: Sue calls Jack.

The paper which will later be fastened to the frame by means of wire shanks is cut the required size and is then given coat of oil of some kind which makes the shade translucent. The very best shades are white mineral oil but that takes at east week to dry thoroughly. Boiled linseed oil is frequently used. This is not so gummy as raw lin- seed oil. The oil may be tinted by adding little burnt umber oil paint. This, like other colors comes in tubes. A little of 1t is squeezed into the oil.
 Christmas cards without wroting or printing on the back may be pasted onto the paper shade. When this is done it is wise to choose cards of about the same weight, otherwise the shade will look spotty when lighted. A stamp collector would appreciate shade decorated with foreign cancelled stamps. Christmas card envelope Things are another inexpensive decorative ma terial.
