 Yes, I met Danielle Darrieux in Paris. I am not only delighted and thrilled but also proud to be one of the first Americans to make the ac- quaintance of Universals splendid new acquisition, while I was in France on my vacation.
 Husband Directs Film
 When I first hit Paris I was, to my great disappointment, informed that Danielle Darrieux had just fin- ished her last picture, directed by her husband Henri Docoin and had gone to the Riviera for a rest. When, a few weeks later, visited the French capital again, learned from Baroness von Koczian that Miss Darrieux was in town and should come over to the Hatel George V to meet her at cocktail hour. Cocktail hour unites many Americans at that American oasis in Paris and I met quite a number of them, but the one person was anxious to know, phoned and regretfully informed us that a dinner engagement pre- vented her from joining our group. --1 had been expected at Tours by some friends for the past four days and was desirous to leave, but when I was told that Miss Darrieux was making her screen test on the fol- lowing morning, I postponed my trip again and sent my friends in the Touraine a telegram to be patient some more. Seeing Danielle's allur- ing portrait on many magazines and papers on all the news stands throughout France had filled me with an ardent desire to know her. Hundreds of film theaters were showing her films and in the luXu- rlous Marignan on the Champs Elysees her latest picture alled Mademoiselle Ma Mere, directed by her husband eHnri Decoin was hav- ing its premiere. How could I leave France without having met her?
 Charming Person
 On Friday morning at o'clock a taxicab brought me to the studios Francois I CT, which Is located near the Champs Elysees in the fashion able quarter of Paris near where the Universal has taken new offices, After depositing my handbag - fol I was now on my way to beautiful Touraine - asked for admission and was told by at least half dozen people to wait, and patiently ] waited, for patience Is something you need, besides money, when you travel in France. At last I was ad- mitted into the sacred precincts of the studio, where cameras, klieg lights, a grand piano with flower vase were assembled in artistic con- fusion and electric wires all over tn carpeted floor; big white Bud' aha with small water basin was visible on one side and to the right of 1t I discovered my friend, Miss von Koczian. She introduced me immediately to the people of irn- portance, the composer, MT. van Parys and the director, none other than Henri Decoin, a tall, tanned athletic and stern looking man, also MT.

moths to anything within. As many
people have learned to their sorrow,
this is not the case. It is true that
moths dislike the odor of aromatic
red cedar; but it is also true that
the odor Of cedar disappears as its
oils evaporate. There is a strong
natural odor in a freshly built ce-
dar closet, but even then the effect
is not deadly to moths. It is only
repellent. The great advantage Of
a wen-built cedar closet or chest
lies in its being tight; in having no
holes or openings by which moths
could enter. This is important be-
cause moths seek dark places in
which to lay their eggs. Moth
worms will develop from eggs in
cedar closet just as they will any
where else. Safety requires that
everything stored in such a closet
should be completely free from
moth eggs and worms. For the
surest protection, clothes and any.
thing else to be stored away for any
length of time should first be dry
cleaned. This process destroys moth
eggs and worms, and the odor that
persists is repellent to moths in the
flying stage.

Mend the wringer, get the bloing.
We shall need lot of water,
Fix the FIRE, and get it hater.

To the cherry tree, or plome tree.

You can get the dinner stearted.

You can even wash the ditious.

Then one day it showed, lovely

Peter shook his head.

Cousin Jumper, your legs are so

"An right" replied Jumper, and
hid a smile. You see, he knew that
while it was true that Peter couldn't
keep up with him if he ran fast,
that wasn't the real reason. He
knew perfectly well that Peter was
afraid, but he was too polite to say
so to Peter. So off he started for

so still and lonesome. But Jumper
didn't mind this as Peter had. You

Woods where he had been born and
had lived before coming down to
the Green Forest. In fact, he rath-
er liked it. 1t made him think of
his old home. You know, very few
of us are afraid of the things we are
used to. It is strange things that
frighten US. And that is just the
way it was with Peter Rabbit.

do was to familiarize themselves
with all parts of the house; to come
to know it in every little detail. They
should learn the appearance Of each

plaster wall or a timber, the back

corrosion on a plumbing pipe, or
anything else, would be immediate.

Then they should get into the
habit Of making a detailed inspec-

once month, say. They might
begin with the attic, and work down
to the last far corner of the cellar.

In 1925 Gov. Edward Coles notified
the lieutenant governor that he
would leave the state the next month
and that Hubbard would be RESPONSE

his absence which would not exceed
three months. But Coles came back

Yankee Saint

I0NE hundred years ago they
~ looked upon John Humphrey
Noyes as a madraan, a crank, a
hereto and an inhoralist. But to-
day the historiansS speak Of him
as 70 Tankee SAINT" a true
genius" and zone S1 tie aoblest
pioneers America has ever pro
duced."
Born in Vermont, NOyes was edu-
Gated at Dartmouth and prepared
himself for a career in law. But
the religious fervor which swept the
country in the early 1905 seized
him and he entered Andover theo-
logical seminary to prepare himself
for the ministry. However, after OBJ
tanning his license to preach, Noyes
began to rebel against dogmatic and
professional religion. Becoming
known for his heresies, his license
was taken away from him. Then
he announced he was going to es-
tablish a kingdom of God on earth
and he founded the Putney COM
munity in Vermont.
There he put into practice his phil
osophy of Christian Communism
which included the most intimate
relationships Of living. Because of
these daring experiments, Noyes
was repeatedly prosecuted by
groups of reformers and more than
once he narrowly escaped imprison-
ment. Finally, he moved his colony
10 CSAida, N. Y. where it became
famous for the successful industries
it started.
In 1869 Noyes inaugurated anoth-
er experiment which brought down
upon him a fresh storm of protest
from the exponents of traditional
morality. He called it "stirpicul-
ture" which was nothing more than
a program of scientific breeding for
the human race long before the
word ''eugenics'' had been coined.
The results of these experiments
are said by actuarial experts to
be unparalleled in the records Of
modern vital statistics.
In 1881 his Oneida community was
changed to a corporation and by
the time of his death five years
later there was little left of the
original idea of the community but
its name. During the next half CEN
tury the name of John Humphrey
Noyes sank into obscurity. Then his
biography was written by a modern
scholar who has declared: How
ever obvious his defects remain.
John NoyeS possessed the attributes
of genius Such a life has
seemed far more worthy of COM
memoration than manyoft thosemore
celebrated, more honored by the
nation and the world, yet who never
dared, as Noyes did, to translate
ideals into the reality of living.
