Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS,

Once more Lightfoot the Deer was
playing hide and seek in the Green
Forest. But it was a different game
from the one he had played just a
short time before. You remember
that then it had been for his life
that he had played-he was the
one who had done all the hiding.
Now he was 'it," and some one else
was doing the hiding. Instead of
the dreadful fear which had filled
him in that other game he was now
filled with longing, longing to make
friends with the beautiful stranger

when Buster grinned good naturedly
at him Lightfoot thought better Of
it and bounded away to continue
his search.
Then there were times when
Lightfoot would sulk and would de-
clare over and over to himself: II
don't care anything about that
stranger. I won't spend another
minute looking for her." And then
within five minutes he would be
watching, listening and seeking some
sign that she was still In the Green
Forest.

Mischievous Sammy Jay even
went so far as to warn the stranger
several times when Lightfoot was
approaching. OF course, Lightfoot
knew when Sammy did this and
each time he lost his temper. For
the time being he quite forgot all
that Sammy had done for him when
he was the one being hunted. Once
Lightfoot almost ran smack into
Buster Bear, and was so provoked
by his own carelessness that instead
of bounding away he actually
threatened to fight Buster. But

stranger was proving herself more
clever.
OF course, 1t wasn't long before
all the little people in the Green
Forest knew what was going on.
They knew all about that game OF
hide and seek, just as they had
known all about that other game
Of hide and seek with the hunters.
But now, instead of trying to help
Lightfoot as they did then, they
gave him no help at all. The fact
is they were enjoying that game.

And don't forget the dainty panties that ac- company the pattern. They're made with the wide waistband and center panels cut in one piece front and back. You might make the sides on the bias and add pretty lace edging.

0reta Garbo's long dream of playing in a sophisticated romantic comedy has become a reality with "Ninotchka," her first picture in two years, which opened yesterday at the Loew Poli theater, and the new Gay Garbo it presents indi- cates that her desire was well justi- fled. The Swedish star is seen as gay, ultra-modern girl in a romance with 6 French count. She dances to swing music, sings, wear glamor- ous gowns, figures in clever situa- tions and dialogue. Ernest Lubitsch, famous creator of "Lubitsch touch- es," handled the story with out standing effectiveness.
 Garbo plays @ Russian woman raised in the stern Soviet code who sent to Paris on a government mission, falls in love with a count (Melvyn Douglas), outwits her love rival Una Claire), and gets her man. Gay moments in Paris night clubs and swank hotels are among the many delightful sequences in the production.
 Garbo was never more fascinating

than as a modern charmer with a sense of humor, and Douglas plays his role with debonair urbanity. Miss Claire provides brilliant lines with a brilliant performance, and @ hilarious new comedy team is tn- troduced in Felix Bressart, Sig Ru- mann and Alexander 0ranach as three philandering officials.
 On the same program is another smash hit Main Street Lawyer" featuring popular character actor Edward Ellis and in the leading feminine role, Anita Louise.
 A real Thanksgiving treat is in store for all Loew-Poli patrons, for on Thanksgiving Day the manage ment will present Myrna Loy and William Powell in their brand new hit, Another Thin Man."

Glorbing Yourself

It's the tiny imperfection that may mean the difference between being well-groomed and haphazard- ly turned out. An over-stuffed, shapeleSs bag can mar the appear ance of the most expensive? neatly pressed suit. A limp, dusty shoe -lace can detract from the trimness of the most perfectly tailored dress.
 Pry into the grooming secrets of the woman who always has that crisp -as-lettuce look and you1l dis- cover that she is extremely access sory conscious. She may wear suit or a coat for several seasons, but she wouldn't think of wearing the same hat two seasons in succession not without having 1t made over or re-trimmed.
 Her gloves always are immaculate She abhors dingy, wrinkled scarfs. She has the lifts and laces on her shoes replaced oftener than is ab- solutely necessary. Her stockings (she puts on a fresh pair every morning, of course) harmonize with the rest of her costume.
 KEEPS UNDERWEAR
 NEAT AND TRIM
 Whenever possible, she tries on slips and other underwear before buying. She knows that no dress can be expected to look its best when worn over wrinkled slip or one with knots or safety pins in the shoulder straps. Her slips and their straps always are the right length.
 She has ct least two girdles. She years one for @ week, washes 1t, puts it aside, then wears the other girdle the next week. She knows that fre- quent laundering and a rest between wearings prolong the life of any foundation garment.
 She keeps clothes, nail and shoe brushes in the ofice as we'll as at home. She has bottle of nail lac- quer in a shade to match the lacquer the manicurist puts on her hands once a week. The moment she mo- tices @ chip in the polish on a nail she removes the entire coat and puts on fresh one.

me add to this. Many child who should be happy and contented is nervously tired from failure to di- gest, from some infection or organic trouble. Without real health, no one can look on life normally.
 Contentment means, too, that Mary or John have been able to ad- just themselves nicely to their daily lives. The parent often sets the ex- ample. Children usually accept pretty well what their parents say is right or can't be helped.
 The mother who complains too constantly about not having more hats or a better car and happens to envy her next door neighbor, likely to find her child doing the same thing. That causes bad judgment. If mother and dad are optimistic, or at least philosophic, there you are.
 The child won't want many pos- sessions, but he will want enough to hold his own with his playmates. It is always hard for the mother of modest means to explain to her child that Ethelburt on the corner, who has simply everything, is not the average. The mother of Ethelburt, in turn, might think of the rest Q lit- tie and not set up a toy store. THRILLS LEAD
 TO BOREDOM
 Surely every child needs thrills and excitement. He thrives on ex- tremes. They pep him up and make life fun. BUT-they have Q habit of wearing of. and new things con- stantly must be had to take their place If Tommy or Sue make thrills the center of their being. After a while their life will go dead, and be- fore they are grown, we have c bored family on our hands.
 Play? Oh, yes, that Is vastly im- portant. because. 1t comes under the head of contentment. Real play is not thrill, not in the sense of ex- citement. Rather 1t comes under in- terest. Through interest and doing something constructive, children get their finest slice of content.

N you intend to see Frank Capra's MT. Smith Goes To Washington" currently at Warmers State theater. you'll have to hurry as perform ances Tuesday evening mark your fn0l opportunity.
 Since the opening last Wednesday thousands have attended the popu- lar State and have viewed the great est of all Capra's hits. Everyone's talking about 1t, so why not make @ date to attend over the weekend.
 Jean Arthur and James Stewart share starring honors in this great picture. And supporting them is one of the greatest casts ever as- senbled for any picture.
 The story concerns one Jefferson Smith, small-town youth who is strongly imbued with American ideals, suddenly finds himself thrust into the seats of the mighty. Some- what of local hero, he is appointed to fill an unexpired term in the United States senate. Jeff takes his appointment with the greatest ser- iousness.
 Stewart, in the longest and most outstanding role in his career, is su- perb. Keeping pace with him is Miss Arthur as a cynical, Washing ton-wise young lady who at first scoffs at the young lady. Claude Rains, Thomas Mitchell Edward Arnold, Beulah Bondi, Eugene Pal- lette and Guy Kibbee also turn in performances of note.
 Adding to the enjoyment of the show is the hilarious comedy Be- ware Spooks" with Joe E. Brown in the leading role. Sharing the roc mantle interest is lovely Mary Car iisle.
 Plenty of shiny silver dollars, val- uable awards, and loads of fun are in the offlng for theatergoers att tending the State Monday night when Silver Dollar Jack Pot Quiz gets under way. Another selection of simple but tricky questions are in the possession of the "professor" who in his professional attire will have charge of the quiz.
