JVot Much Money, But They're Having A Very Good Time By BETTY WELLS "Don't start out by feeling sorry for us," writes Kay R.t "because we're having a swell time. Even if we don't have much money and a family of four children to live off of it. Only don't recommend any thing expensive in the way of re furbishings, because we just could not afford it. The only really nice thing we own is the radio, but that's our chief pleasure so we put all our entertainment budget on it. "The living room itself is pretty dowdy and likely to stay that way while the children are at the chasing "Don't feel sorry . . . we're hav ing a swell time." age. The only quiet we have is at night after they're all in bed. But I do want to freshen things up and make it as attractive as possible. I'd thought of tan curtains because the rug is rather a tan color. And perhaps flowered slip covers for the furniture in something flowered on a natural ground. What would you suggest? And we can repaper this spring. What would be the thing for the walls?" Not tan! That's a drab color un less it's highly stylized and so we'd suggest something that will do more toward brightening up the effect. What about a light ground paper with a fresh green leaf design in it. Or even a stripe in white and green. Then full crisp curtains made to tie back with a valance and tie backs in a textured fabric (of in terest on its own) in a sort of tan about the same value as the rug. For slip covers we'd have plain green in a live vibrant tone. With maybe a few odd cushions of the tan. C By Betty W?U?.-WNU Service. For Spectator Sports Wear *.

BEDTIME STORY Old Mr. Toad Swells With Pride Over Buster Bear's Friendship By THORNTON W. BURGESS OLD MR. TOAD hopped slowly down the Lone Little Path. He usually does hop slowly, but this time he hopped slower than ever. You see he was so puffed up that he couldn't have hopped fast if he had wanted to, and he didn't want to. In the first place his stomach was so full of ants that there wasn't room for another one. No, sir. Old Mr. Toad couldn't have swallowed another ant if he had tried. Of course they made his stomach stick out, but it wasn't the ants that puffed him out all over. Oh, my no! It was pride. That's what it was. Old Mr. Toad was old enough to have known better. It is bad enough to see young and foolish creatures puffed up with pride, but it is worse to see anyone as old as Old Mr. Toad that way. He held his head so high that he couldn't see his own feet and more than once he stubbed his toes. Presently he met his old friend Danny Meadow Mouse. He tipped his head a little higher, puffed himself out a little more, and pretended not to see Danny. "Hello, Mr. Toad," said Danny. Mr. Toad pretended not to hear. Danny looked puzzled. Then he spoke again but much louder. "Hello, Mr. Toad! I haven't seen you for some time." It wouldn't do to pretend not to hear this time. "Oh, how do you do, Danny?" said Old Mr. Toad with a very grand air and pretending to be much surprised. "Sorry I can't stop, but I've been dining with my friend Buster Bear, and now I must get home." When he mentioned the name of Buster Bear he puffed himself out a little more. Danny grinned as he watched him hop on down the Lone Little Path. "Can't talk with com mon folks any more," he muttered. "J've heard that pride is very apt to turn people's heads, but I never ex pected to see Old Mr. Toad proud." Mr. Toad kept on his way and presently he met Peter Rabbit. Pe ter stopped to gossip, as is his way, but Old Mr. Toad took no notice of him at all. He kept right on with his head high and all puffed out. Pe ter might have been a stick or a stone for all the notice Old Mr. Toad took of him. Peter looked puzzled. Then he hurried down to tell Dan ny Meadow Mouse about it. "Oh," said Danny, "he's been to dine with Buster Bear and now he has no use for his old friends." Pretty soon along came Johnny Chuck and he was very much put out because he had been treated by Old Mr. Toad, just as Peter Rab bit had. Striped Chipmunk told the same story. So did Unc' Billy Possum. It was the same with all of Old Mr. Toad's old friends and "Hello, Mr. Toad! I haven't seen 70a (or some time." neighbors, excepting Bobby Coon, who, you know, is Buster Bear's lit tle cousin. To him Old Mr. Toad was very polite and talked a great deal about Buster Bear, and thought that Bobby must be very proud to be related to Buster. At first everybody thought it a great joke to see Old Mr. Toad so puffed up with pride, but after a little they grew tired of being snubbed by their old friend and neighbor and began to sayun pitas ant things about him. Then they decided that what Old Mr. Toad needed was a lesson, so they put their heads together and planned how they would teach Old Mr. Toad how foolish it is for anyone to be puffed up with pride. ?T.

Star Dust ? Casting Casualty ? Synthetic Cobwebs ? Radio Build-Dps By Virginia Vale WHEN Irene Dunne was in New York recently she had what might have been an embarrassing experience. She lunched alone in a smart res taurant, and when it came time to pay the check she dis covered, to her horror, that she. J hadn't enough money. She appealed to the manager, ask ing him if he would cash a check for the amount. He assured her that he would. So she wrote the check ? and he promptly framed it. Just one more case where a well known face was worth a fortune! ? * ? Kay Francis is looking forward to September, when ber current mo tion picture contract expires. She is going off for a long vacation in KAY FRANCIS Europe. And nobody can blame her for wanting to be rid of the movies for a while, at least. Bad pictures have affected her box-office value, but when she fought for roles that she knew would be good, she didn't get them. Now that theatrical producers go to Hollywood when they want to cast new plays, it may be that she will return to the stage when that vacation is over. Here's an odd note on the old stage-screen battle. "Stage Door" was a very successful play. The movies bought it and made it over threw away the story and started from scratch. Now some of the summer stock companies would like to do the stage version, but one of the authors, Edna Ferber, won't re lease it to them ? because she feels that the film version was so much better than the original! Next time you see a cobweb on the screen think of the man who is Hollywood's expert cobweb-maker, Jess Wolf. His most recent assign ment was constructing more than two miles of cobwebs for a castle in Warner Brothers' "Kidnaped." He has a gadget that squirts a rub ber compound in a tiny thread. Then he weaves the threads into a cob web pattern, and sprays them with gray paint. Kay Kyser with his College of Musical Knowledge has a grand pro gram with a really new idea. Ky ser's from the Middle West, where a great deal of the talent seems to come from these days. Remem ber him on Wednesday nights. W. C. Fields, who's out of movies for the time being, may return to the radio program which he desert ed months ago. He left then be cause of a disagreement over scripts. The same reason was giv en for his movie contract's being terminated. Meanwhile Charlie Mc Carthy has become so popular on that radio program that one can't help wondering if there is a place for Fields. It's becoming more and more evi dent that radio programs coming from cities and stations outside New York are better than a lot of those broadcast from the big city. One reason is that fast-talking agents can sell talent that isn't really very good. Questioned not long ago about the success of a certain singer her agent broke diown and confessed all ? told about how she had been built up, pushed ahead; how he landed this contract and then that one fbr her. Now she's one of radio celebrities, draw ing a huge salary for her work on a well-known program. And a lot of girls who sing on local broad casts made in smaller stations are ever so much better. . , - ? - r~i ? " nun w Ue herd on F ranciica ?

Houston Goudiss, who writes our "WHAT TO EAT AND WHY" series, reports that the Cake Rec ipe Contest which he recently con ducted through the columns of this newspaper was a gratifying suc cess. A tremendous number of reci pes were submitted and the home economists on the staff of his Ex perimental Kitchen Laboratory in New York city have been busy for days testing and tasting almost every imaginable kind of cake. They report that our town has some very fine cake bakers! They regret that it was impossi ble to acknowledge individual en tries, but they thank every home maker who entered the contest, and have asked us to say that each recipe will be given the most careful consideration. Because of the volume of reci pes submitted, they will require a little while longer to complete their tests and to arrive at their decision as to the winners of the $25.00 first prize, the five second prizes of $10.00 each, and the ten third prizes of $5.00 each. Prize winners will be reported in these columns in the near fu ture, and as announced at the be ginning of the contest, prize win ning recipes, together with those receiving honorable mention from the judges, will be printed in a booklet to be distributed nation ally.
