woods. as far away as possible from
the yacht and the palace and all that
reminded him of his failure. He had
lost everything; but he was still young,
still full of hope and energy and if
there were no more princesses left in
the Pacific for Psalmanazars to marry,
there were other ways of living.
He'd have liked just once more to
see her, the lily of the Wits, golden
Jennifer. But Jennifer. whom he had
once held in his arms, wouldn't for
give him ever, and anyhow she was
fifteen hundred miles away.
So he walked round the corner of
the road. into the dusk of the thickly
planted murmuring ironwoods, and al
most into the arms of Jennifer!
Jennifer spoke first. "You are
engaged tt the Queen, I believe,
MIR. Psalmanazar?" 1t gave her thrill
to call him Mr.. Psalmanazar; after all
that had been. she hoped that it

to join Broadway" in Chicago.
From the Illinois city he went to
Milwaukee. He invited his parents to
bring all his near and far relatives to
see the show - at his expense.
1t was a dangerous thing to do.
Dozens came from the hills and dales
of the Middle West. Street cars. taxis,
automobiles, patrol wagons - all were
loaded with O'Briens. They stormed
into the theater and demanded to see
the young member of their clan before
the show opened. A typical Irish
gathering. it was belligerently peaceful.
Soon O'Brien was called to New
York to play a bookmaker in The
Up and Up"
Into the theater. looking for an
actor to play the part of Hjldy John
son in The Front Page" wandered
the able director of 'All Quiet on the
Western Front" Lewis Milestone.
After the performance, he telephoned
Howard Hughes, the producer. in
California. that he had found the actor
he wanted.

Before Hughes could put O'Brien
under contract, the latter was signed
by Gilbert Miller to play one of the
leads in Tomorrow and Tomorrow.
His performance brought an ava
lanche of acclaim.
The salary offered him to play in the
film version of THE Front Page" was
three times the amount he was receiv-
ing. He went direct to Gilbert Miller.
That gentleman agreed to let him 60
- for a consideration. Ten thousand
dollars was given for O'Brien's con-
tract. At last he had found the pot of
gold at the end of his Irish rainbow

His debut in "The Front Page" as a.
fast talking reporter came near to
making of him that most dreaded of
possibilities, a type" in films. His
greatest struggle later was to survive
the role.

Neat Work
Should Be
Child Goal
Orderliness and Ac-
curacy Reflects an
Alert Mind.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

A PERSON is judged by his works,
and rightly so, for what one does
is the direct expression Of what one
is. The hidden traits come TO betray
you, for honor or dishonor.
When a child hands the teacher q
paper that is grease se-marked, dog
cared, blotted, he hands him a true
picture Of himself. 1t is a careless,
dirty, dog-eared Self, undsciplined
and without form.
A Self that is undisciplined and
without form is no power and does
nothing worthy, arrives no place worth
going to. No young person would
deliberately choose such a journeys
end. But many drift into it by sloppy
work.
He said. paper 9 by II. And red
linked margins three quarters of an
inch wide. Huh. haven't any paper
like that, This is good enough. II
he gets the work he should worry
about margins and what color the ink
is. and how far apart the problems are
on the paper. This is all he will get
from me. He has to mark me right
If I'm right. should worry"
That sort Of talk is in itself the
slogan Of the sloppy minded. Chill.
dren use it to cover lack Of energy,
ambition and power. The teacher
does mark the student right If he
is right, regardless of the paper, but
there is another mark recorded that
is equally important If not more so.
Sloppy worker"
Now even the brightest worker can
not do accurate work and be sloppy
in its execution. A mussy paper, q
blunt pencil, blot, lead to errors.
A confused arrangement of work
causes mental confusion and errors.
No high-grade student can hope to
remain high grade if he allows him.
self to do careless work. The two
ideas are in opposition and one gives
way to the other. Sloppy work means
a lazy mind and that is the end of it.
Why does the teacher ask for paper
of a certain kind, for a formal ar
rangement of the work, and the like?
Because good work is worthy of O
dignified presentation. Good work is
worthy of respect. Good work, well
presented, sets a high standard Of
workmanship. which in its turn estab-
fishes accuracy and the extended
effort that accuracy demands.
Accuracy is another word for truth.
An accurate picture, an accurate solu-
tion Of problem, are the true
presentations of the problems involved.
Truth is the ideal toward which all
school work, all human endeavor Is
set. There is nothing beyond the
truth, no higher summit for the soul
Of man to reach. No man has ever
attained that height But the vision
is what leads men on to achievement,
the spirit that inspires them to strug-
gle on and on.
There is no place for the sloppy
worker IN the search for life's highest
goal-the truth. School children are
in training for the battle ahead, and
work done to high standard is one
Of the best and surest ways Of insur-
ing their success.

THE hat situation, we have dis

"HE hat situation, we have dis

angles; certainly variety
L abounds in this corner of the
fashion world. We learn Of so many
influences that seem to be affecting
our head coverings that we are quite
bewildered. and it almost sounds as if
a league of nations had been working
on this frivolous feminine problem
We have Ming, Manchu and coolie
hats from China, broad brimmed tor
eador hats from Spain. chin cords and
all; other wide-brimmed suggestions
from Mexico, quaint, picturesque bon
nets in imitation of old Flemish por-
traits; sixteenth century coachman's
hat from England, as well as the Brit
ish homburg and berets flom Scotland,
and those borrowed from sailor lads
everywhere. For real American hat
minus any outside influences we be-
lieve we will have to choose that old
favorite of the gay 90s, the sailor, now
being injected with new life, and show

probably the first choice. You will also
find black taffeta, combinations of
straw and wool that are neither one
thing nor the other, and many black
felts with straw braid at the edge of
the brim that have a distinctly new
look. Color is going to be a big factor
in the new Spring hats little later
on, the darker colors of gray, navy
and brown being shown in the dressy
hats, with color simply running riot
in the more tailored casual felts.

Winter Play

Outdoor Exercise Is
Invigorating as Well
as Stimulating.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

rAs A CHILD, I remember hearing
"A a Jingle about some liking 1t cold,
some liking it hot, but humans always
wishing for what they have not. Any
way. a note from one who signed her
self Miss Miami" made me think OF
it, because said Southern belle decloeo
that change would do her no harm
so she bundled up and went of to
the North countree."
She Is now back in Miami and !
suspect glad to be; but did find her
short stay in colder clineS very in
vigorating.
Whether you live where there is snow,
or have the opportunity of visiting
places that offer Winter sports. do take
advantage of the exercise. the whole
some fun and the exhilarating feeling
which Winter sports induce.
Even the simplest of Winter sports
and the most youthifying SNOWFALL
battles-has a definite exercise valut.
Splendid arm and chest movement
there.
Ice skating is one of the finest sports
one can indulge in. 1t has become so
popular that many cities boast large,
artificial skating Kinks. Skating to mu-
sic is not only beneficial, but enjoy
able as well. The rhythmic movements
of arms, legs, hips-practically every
muscle is brought into play. 1t helps
to keep the figure slender, the spirit
gay, muscles timber.
And there's no thrill greater to
the sports loving than skiing. There's
more than mere exercise in it. You
take the Jump and come down In
perfect balance Cf you do). And you
feel that you have conquered space
and fear. And you develop muscles,
and poise and self-assurance. Your
spirit mounts, your blood races. your
cheeks burn, your eyes sparkle. A
pair of skis, steep, snow-covered
hill, a little courage land a lot of
warm clothing) and there you have
the formula for the most zestful OF
Winter sports.
No need to warn Winter sports
devotees to dress the part. Fashion
has long since made her DEGREES in
that direction. But even if you are
wrapped up in the snappiest of ski
suits, do have ample warm under
things beneath Fairly long woolies
and knee warmers, and woolen
anklets are quite the vogue this
Winter, and woolen or fur mittens,
and scarfs and knitted caps. All of
these help to guard against frostbite,
chapping and such.
The tip Of the nose and the eyes
are the only spots that have to be
exposed. Be sure to give them their
share Of protection by way of cream
and powder, for nose and skin around
the eyes, goggles for the eyes, because
snow is as hard as sun on them.
And if you have to get your exercise

Dorothy Dix Says
We Should Try to Concentrate on Other
Peoples Virtues Rather Than
on Their Faults.
on Their Faults.

IF YOU want to get any happiness
out Of your human relationships
you have to take people as they
L are and not as you would have
made them If you had been consulted
about their creation.
OF course. we admit that we are
not absolutely perfect ourselves. In
rare moments of humility we concede
that we have a few minor faults. But
we expect our families, our friends
and our acquaintance to overlook
these and concentrate their attention
upon our shining virtues. However.
the mercy we demand of others we
do not extend to them. We expect
them not only to be without flaw or
blemish, but also Just to our tastes;
and when they are not, 1t somehow
takes the edge of of the pleasure we
might have had in them.
This inability to accept people as
they are is the fly IN the oitment Of
marriage and friendship and has prob
ably caused more tears to be shed,
more divol ces and more heartaches
and loneliness than any other one
thing. The fiend is just as rare as
the saint. None Of us Is altogether
good or altogether bad. Our short
comings are mitigated by our good
qualities. There probably never were
a husband and wife who couldn't have
lived together in reasonable peace If
they had Just accepted each other
"as is" as the shipping manifests say.
Nor would there be many friendships
broken If people would only take the
best that others had to give them and
not expect the impossible of them.
y *x
IN EVERY unhappy marriage there
l is what we call the disillusion Of
wedlock. The wife does not turn out
to be the angel the young husband
thought she was. The husband
doesn't prove to be the romantic lover
that the wife dream ed she was getting.
So they are both disgruntled and mis-
erabIe, and either make marriage q
long. drawn-out purgatory to each
other or else fight their way to the
divorce court.
Apparently 1t never occurs to either
one Of them to take their mates as
they are and love what Is lovable in
them, enjoy what is enjoyable and get
whatever Of entertainment and amuse-
ment and profit there is in the situa-
ton. A man does not say to himself,
for instance, that Bella's looks are
nothing to rave over and that her
conversation is Just about as exciting
as bread pudding, but that she wor-
stips the very ground he walks on
and that she would no more think of
criticizing anything he does than she
would of blaspheming God.
