Dreamed Lobster

LOBSTER SOUPS are mostly
of the hearty variety, capable Of
providing the main course OF a
luncheon or supper. A cream of
lobster, for instance, is simply a
thick white sauce to which bits
of the fish are added.

II is a story Of a mans search

David's immortal psalm, out of
the depths have l cried unto
thee, 0 Lord hear my

Ever since he was a boy in
Slovenia, Uncle Polde had known
the depths of poverty and tyr
amy and OF a crushing sense of
personal humiliation.
He was a sufferer. He slut
tered not only with his lips but
with his soul. He could not find
the pattern TO a free life either
with his mouth or in his spirit.
He was one of the many, many
cringing human beings who bend
under the despotism of the old
savage ways Of life.

freedom which made men walk
straight and proudly instead of
cringing. -
He had overcome his stutter-
ing. Years before, the other
boys had tainted him because of
his infirmity. In his fury and
humiliation he learned to laugh
at them, became a clown.
And so he laid the foundation
for that mask which was TO
cover his real self for so many
years.
But underneath he was still
bitterly bewildered. hating his
mask, longing TO be free. And
so he set his face toward Amer

An insult cracked his mask,

must free himself, must respect

Tired? Then

XercISeS
BY IDA JEAN KAN

ONE OF the most outstand-
ingly beautiful of the movie stars
once told me the only time she
loses her figure is when she is
very tired.
There's an explanation for
that. You've seen what happens
TO your face when you are so
tired you could drop. All the
lines are down. The same thing
happens to your figure.
Fatigue causes your muscles
TO lose tone and your entire
muscuiature seems to droop.
When you measure after an
exceptionally firing day, you
may measure a full inch shorter
than you actually are. and your
waist may be an inch larger
when you started out so briskly
IN the morning. OF course, YOU
look dumpy even though you're
not!

in the same way, a touch of the
darker foundation down each side
of wide nose will make it appear
prettier.
All eyes need a bit of makeup for
the camera. ShadoW-uSe a lighter
shade of foundation if the eyes are
tiny or Sunken-will make the eyes

shade Of makeup base, blended
ever so smoothly, will make the eyes
seem deeper and larger.
After shadow has been applied to
lids, decide whether or not you
want TO powder. Because of the oil
content Of the base, it will catch
and hold the light, giving the skin
a radiantly youthful glow without
the use OF powder. But to give the
skin dull. finished look, choose the
shade Of powder that matches most
closely that of the foundation. Fill

her SeVen-year-old daughter sitting

It is unwise TO fill Child's mind
with dark or fearful stories. All
grown-ups, outsiders as well as
parents, / believe, have a definite
responsibility in this connection to-
ward any child who may be in their
company. They should consider
that morbid talk may have harm

age child is fascinated by such
stories at the time, don't be sur
prised If he cries out in his sleep or
has dreams.

and resistance is low, and especially
at the end of the day and after
being put to bed in the dark, these
dreadful things have a way of cut

dreams.

His FrankenStein
Would Really
Scare You
BY TALBOT LAKE

A NYONE who can make people
"A laugh these grim days is in de-
mand which explains why Billy De
Wolfe, the comedian, is a popular
entertainer. De Wolfe, who was
born very plain Bill Jones in BoS-
ton, is one of those rare beings, the
natural comedian.
He's a perSonable young man,
who steps upon the dance floor OF
the Rainbow Room in New York
with quiet poiSe. One wonders what
he is going to do, for he doesn't look
very funny in dinner jacket-and
then the fun really begins, for De
Wolfe changes his character COM
pletely and becomes the person he
is poking fun at.
Men who stick women's hats on
their heads are just plain blightS,
but when Billy does it he becomes
the priSSy Mrs. Murgatroyd, who is
celebrating her 18th wedding ami
versary in gruelling solitude by i'm
bibing her very first cocktail. He
turns his coat backwards, muses.
his hair and he really becomes
Frankenstein monster SO horribly
the clientele ducks under tables.
Without aping a female voice or
walk, De Wolfe creates perfectly
the illusion that he is a series of
chorus girls. woman hanger-on in
bars, and a series Of characters in
bogus Noel Coward play. Inciden-
tally, he writes all his own stuff.
His is the story Of lad who al
ways wanted to go on the stage. AS
a youngster of IA, he uShered in a
theater. From watching vaudeville.
he taught himself to dance. The
man named De Wolfe
(who gave him his stage name) Of
fered him $50 week to do an act.
Scared of what his Bostonian fam
lily might think, he refused, but was
persuaded to ask their permission.
They thought fifty dollars was
certainly fifty dollars and told me
