The men. I learned, talked alto

making movies and selling them. After
several hours of this, we all went

OF course, all Hollywood parties are
not like that. I saw q famous screen
actress arrive at one time, walking very
Stih1y. In a rash moment she waved
her hand to some one. This was almost
fatal. She staggered and wavered, but
with the help of friend got upright
and stately again. She's the wonder OF
Hollywood because she can do that sort
of thing till in the morning and turn
up in the studio at 8 for q hard days
work.
Most Of the boys and girls, when
they're making q picture, have to live
quiet life. When they're through they
like to lie in the sun like jelly fish.
They drink a lot. but no more than
any other well to do crowd in America
today. And lots Of them didn't drink al
all. For one thing, liquor is fattening.

Leaving college because abe Is short

disbursing those at her disposal is rather
sad affair for a girl It may mean
the losing of valuable friendships, as
sociations and other fine things. Where
necessary 1t Is an entirely different
thing. Our children must learn to

For instance, as far as good clean

Sweeping and cleaning can be shifted
to other than their stipulated days, so

few Of the tasks that could be mentioned
which can be changed to permit OF

Strange as 1t may seem to the mind
which is imprisoned with the notion Of
system as an all-important necessity to
efficiency, work can be shifted and be
done equally well at other than their
designated times, but pleasures have to
be taken as they come. They refuse to

should help decide whether or not fes-

for mother to fall In with such moods

Grease Spots and Mildew

Claire came in with dismay all over
her face. Mother" she walled, what

machine grease all over 1t. I must
have rubbed against it somehow" She
almost cried, she was so disturbed, for
this skirt was one Of her favorites. and
tomorrow she was slated for a weeks

out to the kitchen and get some lard
from the refrigerator. Rub the spot
well with that and let 1t stand for q
half hour. This softens the spot. Then
after that We'll wash the skirt well in

Claire did as she was told, but there
were still traces of the spot. Her
mother told her to repeat the process.
After two more trials the skirt wss as
spotless as when new, and Claire Rugged
her mother in relief and gratitude.
Mrs Lacey felt that this must be her

but few of the Antelope people left.
When you see one of those two-legged
creatures, run until you are sure that
you are safe. Don't be curious. my chill
dren. Don't be curious. There is no
safety in curiosity"
So it was that the twins learned
about their greatest enemy, man, and
their own greatest weakness, curiosity.
Many other things F1eetfoot taught
them. They learned how to follow an
other Antelope by the scent left in the
grass and to tell just what he had done,
even some time after he had passed.
They learned where to find the best
food and where TO and the best water.
They learned to use their noses and
their ears. as we'll as their eyes. and to
put more trust in what their noses told
them than in what their ears or eyes
told them.
So by the time late Fall came and
the band began to break up they were
quite prepared to take care of them
selves A great deal. q very great
deal, had those young Antelope learned
in Just a few months. But that Is the
way with the children of the furred
and feathered folk.

affair.
All the men gathered in one room
all the women in another. And they
did not mix all evening. They ate the
elaborate food and drank the drinks
but they sat apart like respectable
country people in the times of our
parents. Men in one room-women in
the other.
They wore the most extreme clothes,
cut low in the back and many of the
women were beautiful. But what do
you suppose they talked about? Babies.

scandal, but not much and not inter-

The twins followed F1eetfoot around

because they admired him so and
partly because he was always ready fol-
a race or a romp. At the same time
they learned many things from him. II

weakness.

The twins nodded. They had often
noticed it and wondered about it.
