A PRAYER.

Give me some seed to SOW on earth
 Where flowers grew before, A thought or two to help men love
 The roses by my door. Bring me a song to cheer the hearts
 Of other men in tears; Solemn and strange they walk alone
 And bow before their years. Across the sky dawn's garments flash,
 The dayspring greets each star; When will the mornings grandeur call
 The wanderers afar? O sheep upon an earthly earth,
 Your thoughts are dead mems fears: The far winds come and breathe on you Agisel and face the years. GEORGE L. LEE

 T knew he was just about to hire Jan--ah-a radio personality who could sing rings around me, and was scared. On the way to the addition, fell down and tore my dress. He was awfully sweet and got the job.
 T sang with the orchestra three years. Herb and I kind of went around together and it was fun. But I fell in love with him and he didn't seem to be in love with me. or at least he didn't say anything
 "So pretty soon I couldn't stand 1t any longer and quit and went to New York. Two weeks later he flew to New York and proposed, so we flew to Chicago where he was playing and were married"

A HATS A HAT
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

Once again we take stock While pondering this and that, And view with consternation
 What they call a ladys hat. As season after season passes, And monstrosities come and go, But it's always the current one That boasts the trickiest chapeau. How to describe the latest headgear2 We hardly feel equal to that, At best the worst is cockeyed, And heavens how terribly flat! Would you say they had imagination, Would you say they had eclat? We're inclined to long for the saucy little bird That used to adorn Nellie's hat.

 The fans like her; too. Their re- sponse to the single picture in which she has appeared indicates that she has that certain quality which locally is defined as "umph."
 Clad in a sarong and string of beads, Miss Lamour made her de- but in the latest Hollywood primi- tive, called '"The Jungle Princess. She also sang.

 But she goes right on talking about her husband, and how she sang with a dance band, and worked in a department store. Miss Lamour is 8 realist.
 Paid With Groceries
 She could use Q sugary southern drawl or a French accent, if she chose. But she doesn't choose. The actress was born in New Orleans 9 years ago and her family spoke only French at home.
 She is three-fourths French and a quarter Irish, and her name real- ly is Lamour. Ribbers around the studio call her '"Toujour IAmour, , but she doesn't get very angry about 1t. '....
 At three, Dorothy stood on bunt- ing-draped boxes, sang war songs, and sold thrift stamps. At five, she sneaked into 8 neighborhood theater, found 1t was amateur night, sang song, and collected 8 bas- ket of groceries. One of her bit terest memories is that a boy took the basket away from her before she got home. a,. .-
 She and her mother needed those groceries:5 they had a tough time of 1t after the mother and father were separated (FIe was killed seven years ago in an air. plane crash.) -l-
 Mrs. Lamour worked and Dorothy went to school. She was a close friend of the late Dorothy Dell, who was fatally injured in an au- tomobile accident in Hollywood in 1884. Both Dorothys entered a New Orleans beauty contest in 193O, and Miss Dell won.
