The very state of mind that you are in will help to make you see with mental clear- ness and so aid in finding the needed solution. Some persons find the first method better suited to their individualities, others prefer the latter. Both have this in common, and that is the neces- sity of preventing the mind from being attracted to the disagreeable problem or puzzling situation through conver- sation, reading or any contact that can possibly be avoided and by shortening such contact if it cannot be entirely Erevcnud. ‘The homemaker must keep erself mentally as well as physically “fit” if she wishes to be able to do her duties efficiently.

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE MERRICK. HOLLYWOOD, Calif., February 14.— ‘The colony is gravely concerned over the illness of Noah Berry, one of the best actors of the silent regime. The at- tack of appendicitis, which has given grave cause for concern, interferes with What are perhaps the actor's most am- bitious plans since talkies entered the celluloid lists. Douglas Fairbanks will probably make the “Mark of Zorro” in talk shortly. ‘The actor’s interest is shifting between this remake of a great success and & new story which is under consideration at present. But chances are al for “Zorro,” according to studio executives. Noah Beery played an important role in the silent version, and knowing Fair- banks’ proclivity for clinging to old friends and keeping his casts to the original as much as possible, it is safe to say that Noah Beery would be given ::lkopponumty to recreate the e in ‘The microphones and the music boys do not always jibe perfectly. Rudolf Friml has had a habit of years’ standing —when rehearsals of his music are un- der way he marks time with his right hand and vigorously taps out the rhythm with his right foot. ‘When shooting began on his new pic- ture sound engineers sent out excited commands for silence on the stage. Irrelevant noises were coming through. ‘The “Quiet, please,” order went out once more. And again the interlock was made and the cameras turned over. More anguish from the sound cage. An assistant plucked Arthur Ham- merstein’s sleeve humbly. “It's Mr. Friml,” he whispered. “He's tapping his foot to the music.” Said Mr. Hammerstein to Mr. Priml: “Rudolf, you'll have to cut that foot| stuff out. The mikes are picking it up wvery heavily.” Mr. Friml was willing, but the habit of years was too strong for him. What | looked like a tragedy was averted when Hammerstein ordered a mattress to be sent in to the set. Friml stood on the mattress and the recording went on uninterrupted. ‘The most cerie creature in the village is Eric von Stroheim in person. He appears at functions in exactly the same make-up he uses on the scenes—that shaven Bead, the monocle, heels to- gether with a click as he pays homage to fair ladies, Continental fashion. His evening coat is an Invernes type, its iong black cape giving a funeral touch. At a recent party he strode back thrcugh the drawing room clad in this Macabre garment to say good-night to his host. A bibulous crowd gathered about the fireplace collapsed like a stack of play- ing cards when one of their number. | glancing at the weird Von, hiccuped: “Death takes a holiday!” parts an ambitious young man who loved fame and the bottle decided to give a party in her honor. It was one of those warm days, when the great bowls of cool punch were frequently sought. The tea was a highly success- ful affair. The host had drunk with each incoming group, the crowds had dwindled to a small knot of intimates and the lady with the flaming trans- formation. Said the thoroughly crocked host in w:n was intended as a confidential wl isper: “There’s a bottle of gin under those coats over there.

SUB ROSA BY MIML Front-Seat Driving. “Women Prove Deciding Factor in Buying Cars. All Interested in Brakes.” This was one of the headlines in the papers during the automobile show in New York. You might think the wom- en inspecting the new models were in- terested in the shade of upholstery on tae inside and the tint of the tin out- side. But no, their interest was in the brakes, spark plug and all the other mechanical doo dads of the up-to-date gas buggy. The salesmen soon learned that they were not selling frocks and hats but limousines and sedans. Yes, the women who have mastered the gas range and vacuum cleaner are now out | to_conquer the flivver. Time was, so sour history says, when ‘women did her motoring as a passen- ger and her driving from the rear pew. But now she has crawled around to the front end of the contraption and is going to try her sandal on the gas. It's just another of those masculine tricks which woman has picked up. There are some timid folks who think that vomen have gone too far in this emancipation business and they are glad to see suggestions of the long skirt and long hair. They want woman to be hob- bled, fettered so that she can’t act so much like & man, But the changes which have taken place in woman'’s life have been on the outside only.

For the Valentine party the usual color scheme of red and white was chosen. A two-layer white cake, iced in white and decorated with candy hearts, with the first thing Nancy made on_the morning of February 14. Had she had a heart-shaped cake tin she would have baked the cake in one loaf or layer in that. For another occasion she used this recipe, but baked the batter in individual heart-shaped e She creamed one-half clup butter well, added two cups of sugar dually and creamed the mixture until it was light and flufly. She measured one cup of milk and put in one-third of it. One teaspoon vanilla extract went in at this time, too. ‘Then she let the mixture stand while she sifted, measured and sifted three cups of floor with four teaspoons bak- ing powder and one teaspoon salt. This was added alternately to first mixture with remaining two-thirds cup of milk. She beat the batter until smooth and glossy. Then she folded in the stiffly beaten whites of six eggs. ‘The cake was baked in 350-degree oven for 45 minutes. ‘The icing she used was the tested and tried white mountain variety. She bolled one cup of sugar with one-third cup boiling water to thread-spinning stage. The sirup was poured over one stiffly beaten egg white, beating all the time. One tablespoon lemon juice and one teaspoon vanilla were added. The mixture was stirred until of the con- sistency to spread. Nancy has a_whole leaflet of standard cake recipes.

The castle of Mantle- berry stands in a place remote from dangen, far inland; but the castle of 1a Roochelle is on the coast, where it is liable to continual sleges. Now, which of the two commanders, think you, stands highest in the estimation of the | King?” “Doubtless” sald the poor me~, “the King values him the most who has the hardest task and braves the greatest danger.” Here is a lesson that many need to learn. Almost every day we hear some one speaking in a vein similar to that of the poor man in this story. The fact that one is having a hard struggle is no sign of God's displeasure. Instead, it may mean the very opposite of this. Life all -lon&the line is a battle. To put up a worthy fight I must be pre- pared to endure hardness as a good sol- dier. Army cots are not flowery beds of ease. We are made better soldiers by the privations, hardships and struggles we sometimes have to endure.
