GUS New York theater engagement,
put little George Breakstone into
small. but important role. and went
full steam ahead-saying: This or
nothing.
The result must have been much as
he expected. an elegant version OF a
story which, while 1t may be a trifle
outmoded these days. speaks for
itself in the best-known terms of
cinematurgy. And, If you look around
past the excellent actors, and the story
and the quietly effective musical score,
you will observe that Art Director
Richard Day, Goldwyn's boy wonder
of design, has put together as nice a
series of outdoor and indoor scenes
as there could be.
Goldwyn. in other words, has left
no stone unturned. But whatever be-

learn that Mrs. Dorsey 'bagged Nelson

It would also become clear that Mrs

'My makeup simply won't stay On," complains a reader. Tn splie of good cream rouge and carefu, application of the finest powder can buy, my face always looks shiny and badly groomed. Do you think I ought to use foupdation of some kind?"
 I certainly. do think everyone should ube foundation cream or lotion. Not only does it give the skin a smooth, satitiy finish. but actually makes cosmetics adhere infinitely longer.
 There are various types Of Foundations. of course. The thick lotions generally are best for dry and normal skins and the creams seem to suit oily complexions. one girl I know uses hand lotions as foundation and finds that 1t does the trick perfectly.
 Don't be afraid to pay a good price for foundation that suits you. Since only a few drops per day are needed, by comparison U will last much longer than your other preparations. A particular ie RdoI foundation lotion that IS made in many shades to match varioua skins comes in a diminu- tive bottle with a small opening. Only five drops are neded for each fresh makeup-one on chin, one on each cheek, another across the forehead and a fifth on the nose. Blend the drops across ex- cry inch fo your face, smoothing your throat with whatever re- mains on the fingers. If your neck Is particularly dry, put an extra drop there.

CLAIRE,s NEW SHOES

I was walking past our local shoe store the other afternoon when out danced Claire Johnson, fcuawed at a more sedate pace by ht mother Look, Doctor" cried Claire, pirouetting for my benefit, asSe my new shoes!" They were certainly handsofne shoes, of shiny brown calf skin, broad -toed, low -heeled and flexible, as a growing child's shoes should be, and they looked sturdy enough tp withstand even Claire's boundless energy.
 s.Claire!" exclaimed Mrs John son, please don't start wearing them out before you're well out of the shop. They've got to last a long time, you know" Claire glanced tip at. me with a saucy look in her eye, as much to say, 'aren't mothers a nuisahce?" but she quieted down and took her place between us, swinging q hand of each. Are you sure they're big enough. Claire?" I asked; ''they look very tiny to me" "Oh no! They're plenty IT she caught my eye and saw was teasing. ''They're almost as big as mothers" she added proudly; "Mother says I'll be taller than she Is when I grow up cause I've got such large feet. Like puppies, you know" I saw what she meant, though her way of putting 1t was a trifle ambiguous. j..
 q can wiggle my toes in them" !" she continued, hopping irrepres- sibly on one foot with our support, and evidently wisgling hard with the other foot. "Thats good 7 i told her, toes need exercise, and they can't get it if they're all cramped up in a tight shoe" "That's what the shoe clerk said;" replied Claire, and he made me make feet marks-like Man Fri .day-and then he put the shoes on top of the feet marks and drew a line around, to show there was plenty of room inside for me-" I nodded. "He evidently knew his business" said, looking at Mrs Johnson. "I'm sure he did;" she returned, goodness knows he ought to, considering the numbers of pairs I've bought from him. I never saw such children for grow ing out of their shoes"
 Just then Claire spied one of her little friends ahead of us, and

M. l.. D. simply turns the toes of both feet inward, fin the pigeon toed position, as far as possible, holds them like that fffor fifteen to thirty seconds, then goes to sleep.
 The interesting remedy a San Francisco physician has found helpful was reported in this col- umn Friday, Jan. 4, 1885. This Is a course of medication with calci- um lactate, chloride or gluconate. The victim of leg cramps may take say ten grains of any of these cal cium salts three times day, d. rectly after meals, dissolved in water and favored with syrup and fruit juice. and should contiue this for period of at least six or eight weeks. But even 8 few doses may bring relief for several nights.
 Now I'll tell one, if you old tim CTS don't mind. My preventative or remedy may strike you old fogles as too absurd. I've noticed that many of the best things in modern medicine strike old fogies like that, old fogies in the profession as we'll as dumb laity. But the beauty or my remedy Is that you don't have to take it. simply offer it. You may take it or leave it. Remem- Der, l get my pay whether you like my treatment or net. With me 1t is a matter of no pay no cure. But don't envy me, brothers--I served 19 years in the mines be- fore l ever got this way.
 My suggestion is that one sub. ject to either night cramps or day cramps as described should make it habit to roll himself or herself half a dozen omersaults on the floor each night and each morn ing.
 l don't want to hear any wise- cracks about this. have heard them so many times that they bore me. If you take the idea seriously but do not know just how to so about rolling them. I'll be glad to send you a moving picture which teaches you just how to do it-if you provide q stamped envelope bearing your address.
 How much in earnest I am about somersaults may be indicated by the fact that I roll enn myself, not just morning and night, but many times through the day. right here beside my deck, in fact I find a few somersaults, remarkably help full in straightening out jams or difficulties when ideas don't come right or when one hits a snag. Not that I am subject to leg cramps, yet, only that l think it Is good to get the blood out of the splanchnic pool back into circula- tion as often as one can.

 Sometimes unqualified obedi- ence is best. AGain qualified or modified is only fair. Almost every child has his intense interests and his sense of fitness. It may not match his parents at the moment, but it should be understood.

 It depends on so many things. Usually the child disciplined to regular household laws causes less trouble than the other. Some children never know what to ex- pect--each day bringing change in authority. Permission given and taken away without apparent reason.

Josie touched Gales arm. Don't take 1t so hard, honey" she said. "Steve's goin' to be all right"
 "Oh, Josie--if he shouldn't-!'
 "But he will! Steve's strong"
 Yes, Steve was strong. He al- ways had been. Strong enough to help others, to put them before himself. Gale thought of the night he had gone out to find Phil, and how, only the day before he had persuaded a lawyer to defend her broth. Oh, there were a thou sand ways Steve had been helpful, spending himself generously to help others. Little things he had done for her father. Favors for others at the mill. Loans he had made when he could not afford them. It was endless-the chain of Steve's good deeds.
 Gale whispered again, "Oh, Josie If he shouldn't get we'll"
 The door of the bedroom opened then and Doctor Carr came out. Doctor Carr, whose red face was usually 50 jolly, was not smiling. "Doctor-?"

 "But Doctor-'
 There's nothing more we can do," the physician said. T haven't given up hope, but Mrs Meyers should have someone with her the rest of the night"
 "I'll stay" Gale said quickly. Josie, will you stop and tell Mary where l am ?"
 "Of course"
 The doctor gave Gale instruc- tions. i've told Mrs Meyers all this" he said. Poor woman--do what you can for her."
 "Yes, doctor"
 T have another case to go to-" the doctor went on. "I'll look in again on my way back"
 You might want a man handy" Jasper Wilkins said to Gale. I'll wait in the kitchen.
 Thank you, Jasper"
 When the others had gone Gale opened the bedroom door gently. Steve,s mother was on her knees beside the bed, her head pressed against her sons arm. Steve's eyes were closed and he looked as though he were sleeping. There was a bandage across his forehead.
 Gale said, Mrs Meyers, I'm go- ing to stay with you tonight"
 The woman did not look up but her hand found the girls, clung to 1t. She sobbed, "Oh, Gale, they wouldn't take him from mel, He's all I have-Steve---iny baby!" ..
 Her shoulders rose and fell spas an odically. Gales fingers pressed the hand in hers. What was there to say?
 Presently, Mrs Meyers straight ened, dried her eyes.
 "The doctors coming back" Gale told her.
 "Yes, I know" Gale was never to forget that vigil-the house completely silent, the room with its sparse, neat furnishings, the single light shaded so that the glare would not fall on the bed. She was never to forget Steve, lying so still against the pill lows, his mother at the bedside, bent and weeping.
 There was Steve's desk with the books he had been reading. There was the puzzle he had been telling Gale about earlier in the evening" a silly bit of cardboard he had picked up somewhere. And there was a baseball and a worn pair of fboxing gloves, Steve's sweater on ] a chair. The dresser with the
