ADVENTURES OF THE TWINS
Following the Rainbow
"The hrst thing to do, children,"
Bald Cap’n Pennywinkle to the Twins
as he folded up the Fairy Queen’s
letter, "1b to find the rainbow. When
you discover where the end of it is,
look there for the bag of gold that
the gnomes have hidden."
^ With that he .turned Curly's head
■ —his sea-horse steed, you know—
back to the place by the sea weed
grove where he watched the traffic.
Nancy and Nick looked after J»lm
thoughtfully. One would have
thought that ho was telling them
how to find the corner grpcery to
buy a lolly-pop, instead of hunting
bags bf gold at the foot of rainbows.
As though rainbows and gold-bags
were the most every-day things In
the world! Not that they were dis
couraged—not a bit of it, only it
was one more thing that was queer '
about the Land of the Wlggleflns.
Everything was most amazing. Nick
had a book at home called “Davy
Jones’ Locker” that his Daddy read
him at nights, all about the ocean
and ocean people, and It was full of
jueer things, too.
Suddenly something very bright
gilded by, something long and grace
ful and striped with the most beau
tiful colors. Nancy grabbed Nick's
irm. "Look!” she cried. "There it
is now. That's the rainbow, there!
It's running away. Let's follow it.”
Nick agreed, so oft they started
n their magic Green Shoes.
But what, my dears, do you think
happened? The long, beautiful,
graceful object stopped suddenly
ind turned around, and for the first
;lme the children noticed that it
tad two bright eyes. Then It spoke,
‘For goodness sake, what are you
wo creatures tagging after me for?”
t snapped, most unmannerly.
“Are—aren't you the rainbow,”
Faltered Nancy.
"Rainbow!” it snapped. "What’S
hat? I'm Mr. Ribbon-Fish.”^

Confessions Of A Movie Star
The Vanishing of Jimmy Aleott
Chapter 9
Jimmy Aleott was not a principal
in ths scandal. He was a victim. It
came out gradually. Each day there
were new details tor the gossips.
A teller in his father’s bank had
absconded with thousands. Also,
with Helen, Jimmy's only sister.
And the worst of it was that Helen
was a bride of a year.
Her husband had managed the
Aleott quarries, shut down months
since. And Aleott senior was a ruin
ed man.
Somehow I had a feeling that
Jimmy ought to come to see Mother
dear and me Just because he needed
sympathy. Every evening I put on
a certain blue lawn which he ad
mired.
Then came news of the accident:
> James 8. Aleott, senior, had gone
over the edge of his biggest quarry
in his automobile! And Jimmy Al
cott was nowhere to be found. Jim
my often drove the big car because
his father disliked driving!
Was it an accident?
The pond In the quarries was
dragged for Jimmy's body. Nobody
had seen the young man at the rail
road r/ition. Some said he had run
•way from disgrace.
Others said he hadn’t run away;
wasn’t anything for him to run away
Irom!
Motherdear and I couldn't think
•f Jimmy as a coward. *
His own mother was dead, his sis
ter gone, his father a suicide; event
ually, what remained of the Aleott
property would be sold for the bene
fit of the bank’s creditors.
Plainly, there was nothing for
Jimmy to run away from. But
wasn't there something for him to
come back to?
Well, there was I! Very much
horrified and hurt!
Such were the visions which dis
solved and rediasolved under the
tepid compresses on my eyelids after
I had heard Dick Barnes’ voice over
the phone.
I did not tell Motherdear of what
I was thinking. It was too silly!
And of course, if Jimmy Alcott had
come back, we would hear from him
soon. He did not know that I was
a movie actress, but he certainly
would find us, by mall.
And if Jimmy ever came back he
would recognise my voice instantly
over a phone, just as I would recog
nize his. And he would tell me so.
The man who had been my good
friend was the soul of honesty, of
frankness. ,
Was Dick Barnes, the company's
new bad-man, as honest as his fine
voice led me to hope? Curiosity
added interest to the approaching
rehearsal.
On the appointed day. my eyes be
ing cured. I started for the studios.
I was anxious to be even earlier
than usual in order to meet Dick
Barnes before our work began, but
my new chauffeur mate some un
necessary detours and I’arrlved late
at the studios.
I sent up word to my director,
Demaison, to go ahead and get ready
to shoot, I would be on the set
promptly at 9. There were extras
on the set. Extras are expensive.
Time was valuable.
I had to hurry so that I actually
forgot that I was going to play op
posite Dick Barnes.

She'll love this different way to
sweetness which one clever woman
discovered and all of her friend*
are copying. Get six of the large
unornamented bone hairpins. Make
very, very narrow sachets not over
an inch long. I’ut a frill of dainty
organdy, preferably with some del
icately colored flower design,
arount the top of the pin. passing

bit of lace may be added as a finish
ing touch.
These she can use to hold her hair
while she Is going through those
ceremonies which make for beauty,
or perhaps washing the breakfast
dishes, and then when she ventures
out, to her hair will cling that elus
ive sweetness which every woman
loves.
■
BEAUTY JOINTS
And after you finish the shampoo,
what do you do? Just let your
hair dry, any old way?
Mustn't do that! Take a little time
while it is yet damp to restore the
natural oils.
After the shampoo, and* before
your hair is quite dry. massage your
scalp thoroughly. L se no oils for
this, simply your finger tips.
Start with the finger tips at tho
front of the head and about an inch
from the part on either side. Work
back toward the crown. Be sure
that youa.finger nails do not touch
the scalp and injure it, but let your
touch be firm and work the scalp up
into a ridge between your fiwgers at
the center of the head.
Keep this up, moving a small por
tion cj the scalp at a time until you
have gone over the whole head and
the surface feels v.arm and aglow.
The loosening of the scalp is the
important thing. Hair can’t be
glossy and soft if it grows on a tight "
scalp.
Then when the drying process Is
finished and you begin to comb it,
comb Just one small strand at a
time. Begin at the end and go to
ward the scalp, twisting'each strand
separately as you finish it.
After the combing has been fin
ished, twist the strands again, one
at a time, and then brush the fingers
lightly over it, moving tho opposite
direction of the twist. This brings
out the split ends if there are any,
and they can be clipped if there are
too many of them and they’re too
dead looking.
CLEANING SILK
The best way to clean pongee,
tussah and novelty silks is to wash
them in lukewarm water with good
soap.
Instead of rubbing between the
hands or on a board, material of
this sort should be scrubbed with
a brush and it will need rinsing in
at least three waters.
The greatest danger in handling
material of this kind is In UBing
water which is too hot, for very
hot water causes heat wrinkles
which will not disappear even un
der the iron.
OIL STAIN’S—Stains made by
machine oil or any of the ordinary
oils can be removed with carbon
tetrachloride.
OIL PAINTS—A mixture of car
bon tetrachloride and chloroform
In equal parts will remove oilpaint
marks.
NICKEL—Stains and marks on
nickel can be removed by rubbing
them'with a paste made of whiting
and ammonia.
Sugar Plums
To crystallize fruits, take two
pounds of good granulated sugar
and add just enough water to assist ,
in the melting and boiling. Let the
sugar boll to a sirup. Then put the
fruit which is to be crystallized in a
pan and pour the hot sirup over it.
Move the fruit around occasionally
by shaking the pan, so that every
side of it Is coated. Put in a cool
place. "When quite cool, drain off
the sirup by tilting the pan or lift
the fruits out on a fork and let them
dry. A small quantity of crystallized
fruit prepared at noon should be
ready for evening dinner.

A Man’s World?
And would it be such a very nice
world after alt It it should become
just a man's world ?
Just suppose that there were no
more frills of ninon, no more lights
hooded in rose, no more soft voices,
no more little houses In which a
happy brood played and called to
a loved gingham-aproned somebody
for "bread and Jelly”—just suppose T
And if this orgy of masculinizing
continues tl*at is just exactly what's
going to happen.
Because who ceuld imagine any
child asking a knlckered individual
to seek the kitchen, slice a thick
slab of bread, butter it generously
and then find th§ jelly jar to give
the combination a fascinating, taste
ful top!
Couldn't be done. And thnklng
women realize it. So thinking wo
men aren't trying to make it a man's
world, even as to clothes. *
Mrs. Leon Stern, Terre Haute,
Ind., on the extension committee of
the National Council of Jewish Wo
men, says: I have an earnest con
viction that any cause or move
ment which is important enough to
interest women as a whole, should
be bigger than the individual—
petty dress reforms are not. They
are, when exaggerated, a form of
intense egotism.
The woman who is not unduly
thinking of herself will not starve
for bizarre effects, but will wear the
most becoming—and surely that
would mean the most feminine—
clothing; suited to the occasion.
I believe that only that woman
who translates her effort into lov
ing, unselfish, personal service for
her fellow being Is on the right
track. And the woman wearing, and
wondering how she looks in, knick
ers can't be doing that! Though I
should say that if an occasion right
fully demands mannish clothing—
wear it!
Miss Mabel C. Washburn. Hart
ford, Conn., president of the Con
necticut League of Women Voters:
f think that the fact that women
are taking up occupations which
made it necessary for them to bravs
all sorts of weather conditions makes
it desirable that they should wear
plain, sensible clothing. The fact
that their clothes resemble those of
men would not seem to me an Im
portant Item—but actually knick
ers for ordinary wear, no!
Mrs. Helen Harrison Mills of Pe
oriorle. 111., National Federation of
Music Clubs: Concerning the wear
ing. by women, of knickers and the
other mannish clothes and the ap
ing of men—I can see no reason for
It. For certain sports and occupa
tions it may be necessary to wear
garments cut on mannish lines, but
otherwise. It is not.
Unless women have grown asham
ed of their womanly prerogatives
and attributes, why continually try
to copy men? Especially at this
time of a sort of moral awakening
It might be well for women to ad
here more closely than ever to the
usual habiliments of her sez.
Mrs. C. B. Hippie of Fail ttiver.
Mass., socially prominent, says- No.
Indeed, women should not try in the
leait way to Imitate men. ft tests

The Popular Cape
BY MARIAN IIAIiF,
NHW YORK—The cape, most
useful and convenient of all women’s
wraps, Is with us again and Is more
popular than ever.
The newest Franklin Simon capes
from Paris range from the volumi
nous effects which are adaptable to
the attenuated Rossetti type of
woman, to the stralghter-llned mod
els.
But one thing is most essential for
every woman to remember—she
must drape the cape about her fig
ure to be really artistic and effective.
There Is nothing worse than a long
cape that “just hangs.”
A handsome model is of blue mer- j
vella with an original cut permitting J
deep bands of fur above the arm- i
slits to resemble cuffs.
Another model shows the material
gathered on a small yoke.
Still another, illustrated here, has t;
handsome embroidery of gray on the }
blue mervella, and a high astrakan |
collar. |
A black cape, also of mervella. |
shows insets over the arm over |
which the encircling material is |
laced, the tips of the lacings are of S
squirrel as is the collar.
Capes are shown In all sorts of |
materials and all combinations ot f
'urs and colors.

"A good wife ia in a sense her
husband's guardian angel.” writes a
woman who describes herself as
"one who came to her senses too
late.”
"It is ten years since I divorced
the father of ray children. He had
prospered up to that time. Now he
is one of life’s failures.
"As I look back, I know that I am
greatly responsible for his slump.
“Our relationship as parents was
fundamental. I destroyed the bond
of marriage, but I could not destroy
that by which nature had tied us.
‘The woman between who mar
ried him remained childless. Not
even their mutual infatuation ever
took his lovs from his boys. He hsd
been a devoted father. After I sent
him away, he lived with a divided
mind. All this he told me recently
under heart-breaking conditions.
“Our oldest son was killed In the
war. His father came to the burial.
Afterward we had a talk. He said
that while his second marriage was
legal, it was positively immoral, that
his sons were always In his mind,
and their mother, too
"He had willingly helped me to
educate them. But thus his salary
was divided, and his second wife
made constant trouble about it. His
expenses were practically doubled,
and this hampered his business suc
cess. It fsll far below what it
promised when I left him.
"It was not his failure to make
money which caused his wretched
ness. That was due to the hard fact
that the son who had died as a
soldier had rightly regarded his
father as guilty of conduct unbecom
ing a man!
"Thus a decade after our divorce
we agreed that it was a mistake,
that it was a crime against the boy
by whose coffin we met again.
"Never in my life have I felt as
sorry for any human being as for
the father who wept over the son
who never could know what good
traits that father possessed.
"In my sorrow came a flash of
light. I saw how I had failed.
"I took my husband for better or
worse. When the worst arrived I
broke my marriage vow—I discarded
him, I took his sons away from him.
"He was a philanderer, he simply
couldn't help falling for the flattery
of pretty women.
"But should I not have remem*
bered that for every fault In a hu
man being there la a cor: tracing
virtue?
“When he proved too weak in love
: for hie wife, I should have paraded
before him. day and night, that
I other love, his paternal love. It la
, the greatest thing in the world to a
I man.
"And so I say to any mother who
i .a tempted to divorce the father of
her children: Patience—Patience!
| Keep him. In the evea of h<a sons,
upright and honorable. Remember
I what the minister said w hen you
I married him, 'Until death do y»
| part.' ”
Revive Lost Art
English children are reviving at
art or the past—modeling in bread!
Victorian women used to pride
themselves on the clever little jars
of flowers which they made out of
bread and then colored.
I —
English children, however, are In
cluding twigs and colorful glass
beads in their work. It's good in
door fun for & rainy day.
The small dead brown bough is
ornamented as the child sees lit with
glass beads hanging from colored
threads. Occasionally some especial
ly enterprising youngster cuts
flowers from old kid glovea and
pastes gay bits of yarn on for can
ters.
Bread ia quite often used for
flowers. Worked between the fingem
until it becomes plastic, perhaps
dampened a little. It is shaped and
then painted with jfater colors
Sometimes bread birds are given a
tuft of real feathers.
The bread hardens and lasts for a
year or more. They're clever, Japa
