Hollywood.--A strange turn in affairs has thrown Douglas Fair banks, Jr. into a real life situation more weird than any story written for him by movie sccnarlsts.
 Young Fairbanks to-day nnus himself defendant in $60,0O0 alienation of affections suit and at the same time without q wifo to help him fightthose charges.
 Following closely the alienation of affections suits by Jorgen DlctZ while Fairbanks was on location at Laguna Beach, some 60 miles from here, came announcement from Joan Crawford that she ana her actor husband had separated.
 Their separation, which did not in the least surprise Hollywood, recalls the early days of their roc mance---a romance which burned as few others in the film capital ever have.
 Doug and Joan met nearly six years ago when he waB appearing in "a stage play at the Belasco theater here. That casual meeting marked the beginning of their TO. nance. Almost nightly throughout the remaining run of the play. Joan was in the audience. And after each performance she was with Dough- various night clubs or slipping off to quiet out-of-thc way places for midnight suppers.
 After the play closed, they con- tinued to be seen together 50 fre- at1entIy that they were kept busy denying reports that they were se- cretiy married.
 Prior to her meeting with young Fairbanks. Joan was quite q play girI-around- town, the most con- stnnt winner of cups and other dancing trophies Of any girl m Hollywood. And seldom was she seen with the same man more than a few times. Immensely popular, she enjoyed the variety offered py

 "But-I was so cruel and selfish and hard. It's terrible. My old self haunts me. Oh, I'm not an- gelic now. I'd like to prove to the people who shun me that I can take hurdle or two yet that they can't. But not in the way used to. It's all too strange"
 'T hope I'll see you often," the young doctor said.
 Even = knowing about me?" she asked.
 Especially knowing about you" he answered.
 T wish I had met you before any of this happened. Then wouldn't have shadows of my past coming back to haunt me-" she finished rather tragically.
 1T don't. If you were as selfish as you say you were-which I don't believe--I wouldn't have looked at you twice. You have improved"
 The rest of the shopping tour was merry. Something which had been holding Sally down was re- leased.
 Late in the afternoon she re- membered the party that she was to attend with another physician. She didn't want to go. The reac- tion surprised her. She had thought that she was in love with Joe Raynor.
 "He was being nice to me protective and chivalrous because I was alone" she explained to her self. "He won't care if I don't go. I'll call him."
 She excused herself and went into a pay-telephone booth. She heard his voice in minute. The old tremor of excitement at the low tones came back.

 "Why-yes," she answered.
 She saw Dr Norton through the glass door of the telephone booth and her heart grew merrier. "Of course I understand about tonight. You couldn't do anything else. It is perfectly all right. Goodbye and good luck"
 She hung up.
 "Am fckle," she asked herself, peering into a small vanity case mirror as she dusted her tilted nose with powder. "Or what is it?

NICKLES AND
BY DOROTHY PATE Written for NEA Service

Every girl wants a room of her own. The transformation of an unattractive room into one of charming beauty can be both easy and inexpensive. Here is how one room became a thing of beauty.
 Having the sunniest of expo sures, a ''tint" of blue green paint was chosen for the walls, while the same color shaded" was used for the woodwork, whose holdings accentuated by dark blue did away with that flat appearance painted walls generally have.
 The dressing table was a small shelf 15 inches wide that fitted in between the two windows (braces may be bought at any five and ten cents store) and lacquered in bright red. An unbleaehed muslin skirt, 27 inches deep, scalloped and bound in red turkey cloth, was gathered to the shelf by running a cord through the top hem. A six inch valance, scalloped and bound to match the skirt was firmly held in place with red thumb tacks. stuck to the edge of the shelf.
 Table Can Be Used
 Or you could use a small table or dresser as foundation for 8 dressing table, as the skirt meets in the center and the drawers may easily be used. A mirror of me- dium size, outlined in red, should be hung low enough to permit a person sitting down to use it in comfort.
 Scallops may be evenly spaced by folding the material in the size of the desired scallop, curved line drawn on the top fold and the scallops all cut at once.
 A chair that has lost its back was lacquered in red and 8 seat pad of dark blue calico quilted in red having a ruffle picoted in red made the gayest of dressing chairs.

A mother got up in meeting and asked. What do you do If a child says I won't?."
 And then she sat down again.
 "To you?" asked.
 She nodded. Really, I don't know" I replied. 'T don't believe ever heard that pronouncement at my house." I did not say it to be boastful. ] wanted the reaction of the other mothers. Instantly there was sur prise and almost disbelief in that audience.
 twill somebody offer sugges- ton, please? asked. "I need some help here."
 "I'll tell you what I do." said a business-like lady directly address ing the first questioner, T whip the child. I never let that pass A young woman near her said quietly, "Then you never have to whip him twice, do you?"
 "Yes, I do. Children forget. But I won't have impudence, and that's impudence."
 "DccIaration of War" '
 It seemed necessary to make peace and yet I had to offend somebody. At the expense of popu- larity, the rest of the afternoon consisted in my trying to impress on these mothers that affairs should never get to the stage where 8 child will deliberately stand up and say, 1T won't"
 | %,i1l nInar fI,of o,1N h a declaration exposed @ condition of direct warfare between parent and child. Instead of interests "al- lied" as the relationship should be- in such a household, interests were opposed. Defiance is a symptom of enmity. Many things must go together to convince the child that such words as "I won't! "You don't dare!" You can't make mel" are outside the pale of family life. A Delicate Balance First he must accept his parents as leaders. It doesn't matter who a leader is or what office he holds he will not have the right sort of discipline or obedience or respect unless those he rules have conf1- dence and faith in him.
 The biggest business that con- fronts a parent is the delicate bal ancing of love and command. There is way of quietly managing chil- dren from the cradle that plants this faith and respect in a child's s heart at the same time. Once he learns that he can step over the line, 1t is almost too late, because something is wanting that should have been attended to long | ago.
 Study Your Disciplining | There are times occasionally when 8 child even to his own sur prise may venture this far. because he feels outragedl It is only when his god falls that he loses restraint Too many rules, too much scolding everything criticised! Driven toe far he may at last turn and de. fend himself with, "I won't do it' Such emergency defense is easil, explained.
 'If one of my children said i to me out of a clear sky, II an nounced, would go into my room and do some thinking. I woult take to pieces my own fabric o authority and look it over. Ant then I should try to understand and be fairer and earn that re spect back that I had lost. Tn

 The girls voice was regretful. "Im sorry," she said, "but I'm afraid I can't. I'm going away"
 Jeff Grant stood still. "Going away he repeated. What do you mean?"
 Dusk had begun to descend over the street. In the gray light Janet looked up into Jeff Grants startled face. She was remorseful. II meant to tell you before," she said. 'only I've been so busy!"
 Where are you going?" Jeff asked.
 Janet smiled. Not very far," she told him. "Only out on the west side. You sec, I have new job and I'll have to live out there."
 "Then you're not leaving town 9"
 why, of course not!" The girl laughed. Did you think was !? Oh, no, I'm not leaving Lancaster but it's just about as much work awfully busy at the office, too. anything I've ever done-"
 She told him all about it. She was still talking when they reached the entrance to the rooming house. Janet halted, looking up at the sky.
 "I hate to go in," she said. "Its lovely evening. isn't it?" "Yes it is. We could take a drive somewhere if you weren't so busy"
 Janet fingered in the doorway. tive got an ideal" she exclaimed suddenly. "Have you had dinner yet?"
