Miss Markcy left Hollywood
at her peak and thereby threw
a fortune out the window. She
had the stage bug in the worst
way. She didn't think the wild

willing to sacrifice all TO play
things like Portia and Juliet.

ENID MARKEY. who was
L. lured back to Hollywood
after 25 years TO play her
stage role in "Snafu" at Co
lumbia, Is certain nothing has
changed more since she was
a silent star than movieland's
ideas about glamour.
"When was william =.
Harris leading lady IR -l9I9,"
Miss Markey told this writer,
everything was au natural with
us giamor girls. All the public
saw Of US, including our eye
lashes. teeth and curves, was
our very own. Nowadays, II they
want 10. they can practically
reconstruct n girl To make her

But the soundless movies Of
that era were a pretty rugged

actress. The girls had no stand

finds emoting before a camera
about the same as IL is on the
stage. But her salary is many
times more than the $50 week
she made as a reigning star
during the silent era.
During the 25 years since she

repeats the darkest color in the
drapery material. This plain color
is used also for the tie backs.
Either wooden rods or old metal
rods that you have on hand may
be used for the glass curtains and
side draperies which should be
hung close to the window so that
the holders for the valance may
extend over them, as shown in the
sketch. All the dimensions for cut

given here in the diagram.

bunch grass, slough grass and wild
flowers. And grasshoppers. Plenty
Of them!
Fuel was a problem. But my
mother, as did the prairie women
of this section, solved it to a certain
extent by picking up buffalo chips.
Surely you know what they are. II
you don't, you simply have no pio-
neer tradition.
But they did have a sod stable.
Poles across the roof, matched with
slough grass, and slab doors.
The Croys and Sewells banded to-
gether again and sank a well. It's
still there and has the finest water
in the world. That's not just my
opinion, but everybody's who has
ever emptied a tin cup.
And so my father and mother,
with their well and their one-room
house and sod stable, started to
housekeep. And considered them
selves lucky. Almost envied.
Now and then Indians would skulk
past - the Nodaways - and some-
times would come to the door and
make food signs. But never any
real trouble.
My father put the first plow in that
virgin soil," as the fancy writer's
call it. But it wasn't easy, for
prairie grass grows deep and slough
