WOMAN’S INTERESTS AND SUOOESTflONS FOR HOMEMAKERS j
ADVENTURES OF THE TWINS
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTOW
r--a
A Queer Forest
Buskins pulled on the rein of the
green paper elephant he had been
riding and came to a stop.
Nancy and Nick, coming up,be
hind him, stopped too and slid off.
Iteddy Bounce and Blue Jumper,
the fat jolly rubber balloons, arriv
ing just then took charge of Nancy’s
pink pig and Nick’s blue poodle.
"Now,” said Buskins, straighten
ing his head-kerchief and pulling up
his high boots, which had become
unsettled in riding, "I want you to
see the balloon nursery. It's here
in these woods.”
The Twins were all curiosity by
this time, for the Land of Lost Bal
loons was about the queerest place
they had ever been in, and won
ders were not to cease, to judge
from the noise that was coming
from the woods where Buskins was
loading them, a forest of great rub
ber-trees like the pictures in the
geography books.
But these rubber-trees were dif
, ferent because they bore such queer
fruit—balloons, if you please, of all
colors and sizes, yos, and shapes,
too, for where in the oldtdays rubber
balloons were all of a shape and
round as moons, nowadays It's noth
ing at all for a balloon to look ex
actly like a large watermelon or a
squash, or a string of sausages, and
ono I know of, my dears, had ears
like a rabbit. Kvery kind of balloon
was growing here.
But the noise! All babies were
crying.
“It makes them grow,” said. Bus
kins. "All the balloon peoplo'grow
here," he wont on, waving a hand.
“And the babies are the squawkers.
“They make such a noise folks
can’t stand ’em in the city. Some
times they cry so hard they fall oft
the trees, then they can’t grow any
more and they are sent to mortal
children to play with. But I under
stand that mortal parents aren’t
fond of their noise either!”

Confessions Of A Movie Star
Why the Leopard Stunt was a Whiz
Chapter 6&
My act with tho leopards happen
ed to be scheduled for a torrid
morning.
It was staged under nets. Camera
men—there were three of men—di
rectors. electricians, a property man
with steel mirrors, were enclosed
with Mademoiselle Elsa and me.
Nobody was at all afraid of the
cats. The nets were used only be
cause the cats were too valuable to
lose.
I went to work gleefully. I picked
up the baby leopard, cuddled it and
cooed to if, carried it around In my
arms. The camera men stopped
cranking, and Mademoiselle Elsa
coaxed the big cat, Gatree, upon the
branch previously selected by De
maison.
The big cat was to be shot several
times but there was only one mo
ment in which I was to be alone with
tho two animals.
For a few feet of film I was to pull
the little leopard by its tail, ap
parently in ignorance of its mother’s
arrival.
It was an adorable part. Never
had I had so much fun in my life.
When Gairee, the old cat, hissed, I
gid not care. She often scolded
Mademoiselle that way.
All the movie people were collect
ed outside the nets, wherein I work
ed with the leopards. Somehow Dick
had found an excuse to get inside.
He was standing by tho side of
Bangs, assistant director.
We took plenty of time for the act.
Gairee was too royal a dame to be
hurried. I glanced at her admiring
ly in a pause between shots while
Mademoiselle Elsa induced her to
croutdj just whero Demaison wanted
her. v
The big creature did not look par
ticularly sleepy to me. I wondered
if Elsa had decided not to give her
a sleeping potion. I was not in the
least afraid of her but I did want
her to hold her pose while I roughed
up ].aski. The day was too hot for
retakes. I wanted to avoid mis
takes.
I went on the set when Demaison
gavo me the order. 1 heard the big
cat still hissing and I was glad she
was “taking her part" so well.
I couldn’t go out of my own part
long enough to turn around and
look at her.
I went to work gleefully, I skip
ped about the small leopard, played
with his sharp and splendid white
teeth, danced above his lithe length
stretched on the ground, stooped
and seized him by the tail and ran
with him wildly around the limit of
the set.
X ran directly under Gairee on her
branch, to which she was supposed
to be f 3tened by a concealed chain.
Suddenly Dick’s voice interrupted
the clicking of the cameras.
“May! Come here!” was his mas
terful command.
This I heard just as I dropped to
pillow my head on the soft smooth
body of the baby leopai’d.
It was the last sound I heard for
an hour.
But the picture of what happened
next turned out to bo a whiz!

Five Bobbing Styles
Good morning, little folks, have
you had your hair bobbed?
And what style did you pick? In
spite of the grown-ups' rush for the
shortened tresses, many barbers
still flash a sign that reads, “We
cater especially to children.”
And a lot of children have crawl
ed into the barber's chair and let
the scissors send flowing locks fly
ing.
There are five main styles for tiny
tots to pick from:
The little lass at the top (left),
lias lier bobbed tresses curled out
wards.
At the top (right) the little lady
likes the old-fashioned straight bob.
Below (left) Is a fortunate tiny
sister who has natural curly hair.
So she had it bobbed and let it take
its own course.
If you prefer a hair-ribbon, the
miss below (right) shows how it will
look with bobbed hair partially
curled.
And in the center Is a. full-faced
tot who has a real short bob with
the locks curled and turned under.
Polly and Paul—and Paris
By Zoe Beckley
Alter the Storm j.
Chapter 4
Hogiu Here Today
The arrival of Paul Dawson in a
small Indiana town brought lovu
into the life of Polly Newland. Paul
was from the east, better educated
and better dressed than the men in
her town. She knew she loved him
and she hoped that he returned her
affection. One night they walked In
the moonlight. Just as she thought
he was about to declare his love,
Paul announced that he was going
to Europe.
(Jo on with the Story
Polly's heart stopped. A sick and
dizzy feeling, like descending in a
swift elevator, seized her. A ghastly
sense of collapse—her world gone
to pieces—blackness and solitude.
"I am going abroad—I am going
abroad”—Paul's words kept swim
ming through her mind os slio walk
ed on beside hint over the moonlit
road. She moved mechanically,
feeling stiff and weary. The coun
tryside that had seemed Fairyland
a moment ago was changed into a
desert.
The town behind her—Polly
pressed her fingers to her temples
as sho thought of what the town
would be without Paul.
So this was the end of her glori
ous evening! This sudden sting of
misery where she had looked for
light-o’-love! Had It been but a
flirtation, then, this unmistakable
Interest Paul had shown—she could
n’t believo it, and yet, “I’m going
abroad—I’m going abroad” rang
persistently, mockingly In her ears.
But she must pull herself together
—how long had It beer since he'd
said it, a minute, an hour?
She moistened he. lips, tried to
smile—
“Abroad—how- how wonderful
for you'. I—I suppose our town has
been a little dull. It isn’t like New
York or—Pafis.”
Sho had drawn away from him.
Sho felt an abyss had opened be
tween tl jm that defied her poor
effort *4 bridge it.
“.No,” Paul’s voice had a deep
note, "not like either, but better
lhan both put together, for Lester
Falls has—you.”
Polly smiled wanly.
“You won’t think of—of me or of
Lester falls when you’re—over
there.”
”1 shall think of you, dear, in a
sweeter way than I have,over done
before. Polly—” The glad light
flashed out again as he drew her
with a swift movement into hts arms
rind held her close while he went on
in tones that hushed and thrilled
her.
“Polly, you’re going with me! Oh,
my dearest-dearest, did you think I
had any other thought but that?
What would this chance the office
has given me mean unless you
shared it. Sweet? You do care, don't
you—don’t you? I can’t bear it if
you say no. I want you—you and
only you. Tell me you love me an.l
that we’ll be married straight off. I
shan't accept the offer till 1 have my
answer from you.”
Polly answered with eyes that
;azed steadfastly Into his for a long,
ong moment, then slowly closed as
his hold tightened and his Ups
pressed hers . . .
It was a half-hysterical Polly who
pushed her lover gently from her
and regarded him with tear-bright
eyes.
"Such a hideous scare as you gave
me, Paul. I can't realize even now
that you're going to take me with
you.”
"I didn't mean to scare you, dear
est-dear. It was only that 1—I didn't
know for certain whether you cared
and I was so scared myself and—oh,
well, I don't know jus* why 1 put it
in that clumsy way. But it's all right
now. 1 feel like a god on high
Olympus! Love and the world are
mine! Come here!”
"Oh. my dear, you’ve mussed my
hair all up, and look! We’re right
opposite the cider-mill—we'll scan
dalize the Ballards. I’m sure they
saw us.”
“Hang the Ballards, it’ll do them
good! Forget ’em, 1 want to talk
about us. We'll be‘married tomor
row—well, next week at the very
latest—and I’ll reserve a cabin on
the Mauretania sailing Saturday. She
touches at Cherbourg and lands
passengers for Paris. We’ll bo
■passengers for Paris,’ Girl of Mine!"
“Oh, Paul—,” holding him off at»
arms’ length and winking hack the
silly old tears of joy that would
come despite her happy smile, “it’s
just too wonderful to be true!”
“So are you," ho regarded her
rapturously as they turned slowly
back to town, "but you are true, and
it’s as true as you!”

Have you a complex?
To this question every human be
ing must make an Affirmative reply.
Few, however, could identify their
complexes or explain them. Never
theless, we love and hate, return
good for evil, do our duty or shun
it. succeed or fail in business ac
cording to our complexes.
And some authorities assert that
all of our complexes are fixed before
we are six years old! Just so is the
child the father of the man!
The best definition of complex, as
the word is now used, was made in
1914 by H. W. Frink:
“A complex is a system of con
nected ideas, having a strong emo
tional tone, and displaying a ten
dency to produce or influence con
scious thought and action in a defi
nite and predetermined direction.”
In short, a complex is a group of
ideas so related that when one of
them stirs, the entire association is
agitated.
Sometimes our own complexes
make us happy, sometimes they send
us to a lunatic asylum; and some
times the complexes of other per
sons annoy us, hamper our conduct,
or paralyze our actions and ruin our
achievement.
For example, there is the mother
daughter complex. Carried to a cer
tain extent, the mother’s is one of
the noblest «>f human influences;
carried too far, it often produces
senseless tyranny on the mother's
part and abject misery for the adult
child.
Consider the following
“The man I love and I act only
as friends. However, we are secret
ly engaged.
“The other night mother saw him
put his arms around me and she
was furious and informed me that I
never could sec him again.
"Now I have not told nr* dear
ones about my engagement solely
because my sister is getting ready to •
be married and my mother worries
all of the time and cries most of the
time and I don’t want to add to her
nervous state.
"So how can I persuade her to let ;
the man I love come to see me with
out telling her our secret?"
Without doubt the mother of
average common sense knows what
is best for the flapper and the debu- *
tante but when her maternal com
plex incites her to rule an adu«t
daughter, both women arc bound to
suffer:
Because she can not get her own
way, the mother resorts to "nerves; ’
and because she can not follow her
natural instincts openly the poo;* j
daughter is driven to deceit, or to a
disastrous repression of her ele
mental impulses and emotion*.
The just, thing—which Is always
the best thing for the greatest num
ber—is to let mother weep on with
out annoying the little bride-to-b . ,
and the rest of the family.
When she finds that her hysteria
is getting her nowhere at all, the j
mother may find it advisable to ad
just herself to life as It shape* itself
normally for her daughters.
