HOLLYWOOD, January "a (N.A.NA).
"A bedraggled and at times historical
jury which had battled for some 48
hours in an endeavor to come to a
decision on the Clara Bow-Daisy De
Doe case brought in verdict of guilty
last night on one count of the IS
against the sit" girls secretary.
The guilty verdict concerned check
for 1925, written two days before Miss
De Doe was dismissed by her employer
The jury recommended mercy for the
defendant.
Neither Clara Bow nor Rex Bell
showed up in court for the verdict.
Clara, reported as Frustrated with a
cold and the accumulated nerve strain
of her court appearances, contented
herself with saying she hopes the
judge will be lenient. She is not
working at present, but will resume
again when rest, ordered by her doc
tor, has been effected.
Daisy greeted the verdict with a
frenzied outburst, but her conduct
throughout the case has been that of
the ideal fataiist. Only once before
did she give way to tears, when her
attorney pleaded for Justice tempered
with mercy"
Calm and unmoved, Daisy had read

Thursday, anticipating action of
some sort, she donned a very smart
beige ensemble, with tiny brown felt
hat which emphasized her blond slim
ness and undeniable chic.
The day broke in a dull drizzle of
rain. En- route to the courthouse, one
could see the long line of umbrella
topped s." athizers standing in the
pewter-colorod streets waiting to file
past Alma Rubens' coffin and take their
last look at one of the most beautiful
brunettes that ever frightened the sill

At her feet lay giant bouquet of
American Beauty roses which Ricardo

seemed most ideally suited to Alma

Household Methods
By BETSY CALLIsTER.

You really do need a few uninter-
rupted hours If you are going to make
a success of painting old furniture It's
the sort of job you had better not at
tempt to do between times on q busy
day. It needs uninterrupted attention
or the result is not satisfactory.
Then you need a good paint brush
and the right sort of paint and that is
about all, save sandpaper and possibly
turpentine and some old rags. You
don't need to know anything about
painting, as the job requires no more
skill than can be acquired through
patience and application.
You can very much improve the APP
pearance of any bed room in your
house where you have a miscellaneous
collection of, old furniture If you paint
it all to match. It may not match in
design or wood, but at least you can
give it the same tone. In your living
room you doubtless have better furni-
ture and this does not need to match.
But where the furniture has been COL
lected at random, resultant of necessity,
then uniformity of color and finish is
desirable.
For the nursery or childrens room
you might paint the things white,
cream, gray, soft blue, buff or green.
You should get enamel paint, as this
gives a more substantial finish
Be very careful to follow the directions
printed on the can of the paint you Sc
lect-if there are none, ask the dealer.
If the salesperSon doesn't know, then by
all means go to a paint store where the
salespeople do know. Before you begin
any painting your pieces of furniture
should be got ready. Preferably you
should remove all trace of former paint
or varnish, but if you are not willing to
go to this pains. then be sure that the
surface is perfectly clean and smooth
Wash the surface thoroughly with a
strong soap solution and hot water,
then rinse and let dry thoroughly. Use
pumice stone or fine sandpaper to work
down any roughness. All handles and
knobs should be removed from the fur
niture and painted separately If wooden
and washed and rubbed up If metal.
Do not put them back until the furni-
ture Is thoroughly dry.
An important thing to do after paint
ing is to make sure that the painted
surface catches no dust. For this rea-
son keep windows and doors closed in
the room when furniture is drying.

painted a gorgeous shade of blue. The
high basement window was curtained
with a piece of plaid oilcloth cut with
scalloped edges, and below that hung
straight curtains of bright red material.
While the carpenter was working on

table and a bench that stood firm and
fast on the floor The children did al
most everything on the table They
used it for painting, for building, for
train tracks Some times they roasted
potatoes in the furnace and then had
picnic meal set out on the table. From
the day the basement was finished there
was less scolding from Mrs. Lawrence,
which proved that the seedlings had
come about because the children had no
place of their own in which to play, and
not because they were willfully dis.

welcome, Disappointment"
BIZ FANNY 2. CORY.

without counsel purposes are dis
appointed. Prov, xv.22.
And with the best counsel we can get,
purposes are often disappointed. Burns
had this in mind when he wrote his
poem about "the best laid schemes OF
mice and men" going oft astray. It
never yet happened to any man, nor
ever will, to have all things according
to his wishes and plans, or to whom
fortune was never adverse. The lives
of many are like highway strewn with
the wreckage of frustrated plans and
hopes.
20 world, how many hopes thou dost
engulf!" And yet, no matter how many
our disappointments or how sorrowful.
never should We allow them to make
us bitter and cynical. Nor should We,
after a disappointment, give up and
cease from effort to accomplish our
purposes. The wise farmer plows on
are yet warm, the man of high resolve
plans to raise a new house upon the
ruins of a former. We would all do
well to heed Shakespeare's sensible adj
vice: do not, for one repulse, forego
the purpose that you resolv'd to effect"
One writes, Mean spirits under dis
appointment, like small beer in thun-
derstorm, always turn sour" But, as
another says, Disappointment to no
BILE soul is what cold water is to burn
ing metal; it strengthens, tempers, in
tensifies. but never destroys"
Oftentimes disappointment Is better
than success. AS the air often needs
for its cleansing a thunderstorm, so we
often need reverses for the cleansing
of our souls. Often we must be dis
appointed with the lesser things of life
before We come to comprehend the full
value of the greater. Indeed, 1t is mostly
on the ruins of our cherished schemes
that we mount to heaven.
And so it is. our disappointmentS
prove to be Gods appointments. I am
overtaken by adverse fortune, my plans
are halted. my ambition checked;
call it a cloudy day. But my disap-
pointment makes me think, and through
my thinking I attain a wiser discern
ment. And so. what thought was a
cloud turns out to be the shadow Of
the Almighty And with Longfellow,
say, welcome, Disappointment"

I invented a fishing game for the
children which has given them many
happy hours, especially on rainy days.
I cut out number of different sized
fishes from cardboard, colored them as
realistically as could. and pierced each
one with a photograph needle. These
put into a large fiat box, which the
children call the lake" l made fish
ing poles from small sticks with lines
on them, but instead of hooks I tied a
magnet to the end of each line. My
children get real thrill when they put
down their lines and pull out a fish.
