OUR CHILDRE BY ANGELO PATRI Living With Children. “Come, let us live with our children,” says Froebel. “Yes, pray let us,” we ery, for no- thing seems harder in this day and gen- eration than living with our children. Perhaps the chief reason lies in the fact that we say “live with out chil- dren,” and mean .somemlng else. What we really wish to do is to live in peace, peace meaning a calm and blissful state where children cease from troubling and parents are at rest. Life is never like that and living—quite the o] ite. Life implies constant motion, change, readjustment. Peace means stillness, rest. Growing things are living. Those that have reached maturity are at rest. Would you be at rest so soon? Then prepare yourself, gird up your raveled nerves and endure the nolse, the dis- order, the unrest of growth and live with children. Healthy children stir things up at home and abroad. Be prepared for that. Tell yourself that little children are crude, noisy and from an adult point of view, ill mannered. A:ce!n that and set your mind toward adjust; nhy&urul( and the children. Some teac! and\| MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE | BY MOLLIE HOLLYWOOD, Calif,, November 15 (N.AN.A)—Back of the engagement of Bessie Love and Willlam Hawks is the fascinating tale of & mother's girl ‘who became a belle. A proféssional romance and two broken engagements are indirectly linked with the story of Bessie Love's metamorphosis. It began with an in- difféfent success in silent films and a vaudévillé tour. Bessie's advisers then gave her that ancient Hollywood recipe for success: ‘hange your personality. Cultivate g When_Bessie Love returned to the village she became the life of the party where formerly she was a demure little blond who, Cinderella-like, made for home when midnight struck. She got a lead in a big talkie hit. A publicity romance was started with huge success, Every one was talking about the wealthy Chicagoan who phoned Bessie every evening. Just prior to this Sally Eilers broke her engagement to Matty Kemp to an- nounce one to Bill Hawks. The size of the diamond Bili Hawks gave the little Eilers made the village gasp. Then Bessie Love was seen at intense lunch- eons with Bill Hawks, those kind of tete-a-tetés where waiters get fat tips for lean service, and there was a defi- nite rumor abroad that Sally Eilers and Bill Hawks weren't so keen on each other as of yore. ‘Then Sally Eilers broke her engage- ment to Bill Hawks and became the villagé belle, and Bessie Love chose Bill Hawks from a flock of suitors who a few months before had considered her a prétty mother’s girl, a-swell dancer, but rather slow company. T put on my false whiskers and took my magnifying glass and stole off to unearth the secret of Rudy Vallee's un- dying charm via a preview of his first picture, “The Vagabond Lover.” This sleuthing to find the hidden mystery of what is known as “It” has become more of a mania than out-| seotching Scotland Yard was with| Sherlock Holmes. I had heard that this| was America’s newest idol—or at least the large portion of America reached by radio, And I had read the following description penned by Rudy's publicity agent upon his arrival here: “It is easy to describe the man. A tired-eyed dreamer, with a Byronesque | profile, regular features that indicate good Ancestry; & poet'’s hair; slim, vouthful, reserved; a bit superior in manner; intelligent, quick of thought.” ‘That i8 enough to embarrass Rudy and to givé you a rough idea that this P. A. was earning his weekly stipend, So T gumshoed out a preview to find the secret of such charm. It isn’t there in the talkie. One finds a young gentle as latge and sincere and sweet as a bale of alfalfa, and to- tally without a sense of humor. A young man who on the words "henrl."i and “part” and ‘“depart” breaks into the Irishisms of John McCormack. He | drew & sappy story and he needed a good orie. He moves like an eight-times- | slower motion picture, and the temno | of the thing needs quickening sadly. And Rudy has just one asset—a pleas- ing way of singing a sentimental bal-| lad, obviously patterned, as I sald be-| fore, on the method of the Celtic John. Now, if I bring down upon my head the enmity of many thousand “friends of the air” by these frank remarks about a popular idol, T do wish they'd back up their enthusiasm by pointing out to me just what charms they find that I missed. I'm keéping a perfectly open mind—a wide-open mind. But I still think Rudy should be heard and not seen in the talkies. Now that the dread word ‘“talkies” has come up, I want to tell some of the anti-talkie faction a few things which | may make this rapidly [rr)wmg form of entertainment more bearabie for them. And these hints £o to make talkies even better for the taikieite. If you want to see a talkle, go as soon as possible: that is, if you can manage to attend the first showing of th2 picture, so much the better. The first fun is clearer, smoother and with less of the annoying seratchings and brayings than it will have after it has been run some dozen times. A few record is always smoother on ur talking machine than an old one. L who make talkies tell me MERRICK. mueh better than my friends about the country who write in to me. Anoffier thing. Sit some 18 to 24 feet, from the screen and in the center, i le. The situation in the talki is difectly reve from that of the silent picture. en the last rows of the theater wére the prizéd seats, Now the ideal seat is the one which most nearly approximates the position of the microphone when the talkie is being made. I have had all the annoyances of which people write me, but in lesser degree than those far away from the center of manufacture, I havé had my moments of longing for the return of silent films; times when ground noises and breakage of the sound track com- pletely disheartened me. But I can mention no pieture of the old regime which means so much for the entertainment and mental better- ment of humanity than George Arliss' first talking pictute, “Disraell.” It thrills me to think of countless thou- sands seeing such an actor for a small sum, and in a vehicle of dignity and constructive trend. It opens vistas of what a new art can do for the great masses when all these petty difficulties which beset us now have been over- come. Believe it or not, there is a producer whose wife won't allow chili beans to be served in her home—treminders of the pre-prodigal days. Aileen Pringle stock has been fluctu- ating quite as much as some of the Wall street favorites these recent days. But the lady’s chances seem to be on the upgrade very decidedly of late. A art in Harry Richman’s picture swings er into the cycle with Lilyan Tash- man, James Gleason, Joan Bennett and othets whose luck has not fluctuated 80 much as has the Pringle’s. The most interesting phase of the new part is that the hair, blondined to intrigue producers into a new Pringle personality belief, has to be made dark once more. Joan Bennett is blond, and THE EVENING STAR, BY LEE PAPE. ‘We was eating suppir, being liver and onions in pop's honor, and ma sed, Reely, Willyum, 1 dont know what to get for Maud Hewses dawier's new baby, the child is a week 61d now, and I received a reguler Annotificément about the berth and if I dident send anything T know she would féel slighted.

Up to today abouit “’5 applications for invalid pensions have been granted to soldiers. A smaller number of pepsions for widows of soldiers has been allowed, owing to the unavoidable difficulty and delay in obtaining the necessary evi- dence of service in the Union Army, etc., from the Adjutant General's Office.

BY LOIS LEEDS. Colors for Auburn Type. ‘There are about as many yarieties of | p, auburn hair as there are of blondes, so when it comes to selecting colors suit- able for this type the various shadés must be considered. The Titian blonde is the fairest of the red heads. Her hair is a reddish gold and her skin very white, while her eycbrows and lashes are pale. The genuine auburn type with deep reddish brown hair and medium or fair skin is more akin to the bru- nette. The frankly “carrot-topped” girl with white, easily freckled skin is nedrer to the blonde type, but she too desetves a class to herself. ‘There are two ways in which a red- haired girl may bring out her beauty by the cholce of clothes. The first is by means of using color contrasts. Black or dark blue, for instance, makes strong contrast with her ruddy cheeks d fair skin. Other colors that give & pleasing though not so strong a con- ttast are blue-gray, orchid, almond re- 'Td:' turquoise and medium shades in e, The set eolors which harmonige with her hair, thus making herself a color symphony. Probably is what the aubufn- haired girl or woman will want to do this season, for fashion has declared ensemble costumes in different hues of the same foundation color to be the height of the mode.

Probably this is what the auburn-haired girl or woman will want to do this season, for fashion has declared ensemble costumes in different hues of the same foundation color to be the height of the mode. As the en- tire range of browns is perhaps the leading color, the auburn type is indeed quite in luck. To carry out the color symphony idea she may select eopper- red (which is really a brown), henna, russet, terra cotta or bronze as the basis of her color schemes. Her slip- rs may be of bronze kid or chestnut rown suede with bronze buckles. Btockings may be Indian skin or French nude, Her frock may be henna or burnt orange with hat and coat to mateR in lighter or darker tones. Carnelian jewelry will artistically com- plete this harmonious color symphony. A color harmony in yellow and orange makes a girl of this type look like a liv- ing flame. Other color combinations which are good this year and which are especially suited to the aubufn type are navy blue with yellew or beige; black with orange; brown with lake blue, egg shell or deep orange. ‘The dark auburn-haired ey?e is often classed as a brunette not only because her hair verges on chestnut brown, but because her skin 1s not so fair as that of the above type.

Ex- actly what it is and why it is fast supplanting ordinary brands is told in detail below. By ALICE ADAMS PROCTOR THAN KS largely toa remarkable new bread, “perfect toast” is easy now. It’s a slo-baked bread called Wonder Bread, already well known to scores of women here. In no way is it to be con- fused with ordinary breads. Over six million dollars was spent in its develop- ment. Everything about it is different. To toast it once is to insist on it always. It impresses you at once by the absence of burned edges, unevenly browned surfaces, or scorched spots. Also it makes toast in quicker time. Being of fine texture, it slices quickly and smoothly. “Crumbling” istrgely eliminated even when your aim is excep- tiomlly thin slices. So first please read its additional advantages as described below. And then try Wonder Bread at once. Do this, if you wish, in the nature of a trial, fo matter how much you may favor your present bread. Its dietetic advantages As the new-day bread for toast, Wonder Bread has won women by thé millions. But in considering this, please do not i Say Many Women Here ’ You Use This Slo-Baked Wonder Bread. And No Other! Please Make This Test tians. In view above, the wisdom of this is plain. What goes into it To maintain its quality day after day, we go to great lengths. fi employ a special staff of food experts to test each batch of ingre- dients. We specify a specially milled, shott patent flour. Only the heatt of the wheat berty is used. We use double the usual amount of milk. And every drop is pasteurized. Toast a slice of Wonder Bread and one of any ordinary bread same length of time. The Wonder Bread toast will be browried evenly over the entire surface. The othet slice only partially. overlook the wonderful things it does in fostering a healthy, happy family. In the matter of calorific value it is most remarkable. Each loaf you buy contains more than 1100 caloties, Hence if eaten daily Wonder Bread re- “places awmuch as 30% of all the energy your children burn up in play. Thus it romotes active mlnr;: an; bodies; and rings a new glow to pallid faces. Itprovides inaddition much necessary Lr::tein. The food element, as you may ow, that replaces worn-out body tissues and hence helps build sturdy muscles. It contsins alse calcium and phos- phate, now judged by dietetic author- ities essential for growing childres, in the strengthening of teeth and bones. Thus “Wondet Bread three times daily” is the advice of present-day dieti- of the facts desctibed We employ, too, a special method of baking. Slo-baking, it is called. A method that seals in the dietetic value of our ingredients and vastly improves their flavor. So please tty it at once.
