EMPIRE DIAMOND C0...iXV.2,°1. RINGS Except in the matter of foods, Jane works to sustain her daughter's illusions and cater to her tastes. The two ladies of the house of Reagan went shopping one afternoon and happened to pass a store specializing in peasant-type clothes. Jane has never cared much for the gathered skirts and eyelet blouses characteristic of this sort of outfit, but she noticed that Maureen was simply overjoyed at the sight. Hauled along by one arm, Jane entered the shop behind her small tug. They bought a half-hat with matching shoulder purse of felt, decorated with vivid yarn flowers, for Maureen. "And now you, Mommy!" said the shopper. Jane protested mildly, but her companion was adamant. Mommy would be pretty in this. "Please, Mommy, try on this dress. Oh-oh-oh — Pretty Mommy!" So Jane, breaking a vow of years' standing, found herself purchasing a Tyrolean outfit. Furthermore, she has to wear it occasionally, because Maureen remembers it at odd moments and pleads that Mommy dress in it for dinner. The first serious part ever handed to Jane Wyman to do was the role of Helen in "The Lost Week End," a picture soon to be released. Brackett and Wilder, searching for the right girl capable of projecting the futile, heartbroken loyalty demanded of a drunkard's sweetheart, remembered a scene in "Princess O'Rourke." They had the picture run off again in the studio projection room, just to make sure. When Jane came on the screen, they yelled, "There she is. There's our girl!" And so a deal was made by Paramount to borrow her from Warner's. (Warner's got Eddie Bracken's services for one picture in the trade.) When Jane left the Paramount lot a little over eight years ago, she was a line cutie. And now she came back as a star. The first few days she kept her eyes open for someone still left from the old days. After all, a triumph, to attain final flavor, should be witnessed by some one who has seen a person in defeat. Jane looked assiduously, but she didn't find anyone left from the original gang. Another wonderful fruit of hard work is the recent purchase of a series of lots lying just above the site of the present Reagan home. As soon as civilian construction is possible, the Reagans plan to build a new house and to sell their present property. There are two important reasons for this move: Maureen is rapidly outgrowing her small nursery and will soon be entitled to a big girl room of her own; the other reason is Michael Edward Reagan, a brown-haired, blue-eyed mite. The secret of Master Reagan's arrival was one of the most closely guarded in Hollywood. You may remember that, on several occasions during the past eight months, there have been rumors of a rift between Ronnie and Jane; like most Hollywood rumors, these were based upon the most fragile of foundations. Jane had been seen, with luggage, taking various train trips that required sometimes as much as a week to complete. Some people jumped to conclusions. The conclusions were quite wrong: Jane had not the slightest idea of decreasing the size of her family; instead she was seeking a baby boy to adopt. One of Jane's best friends said in amazement, when Jane sighed and admitted that finding just exactly the right baby was a serious and difficult matter, "Heavens, Jane, your first child is such a success that I can't see why you simply don't have another of your own." The answer to that is fairly simple: Like all Army couples, Jane and Ronnie have had to figure financial angles carefully, because, before the war began, they PAPER IS WAR POWER PAPER I S WAR POWER Every one of the 700,000 items sent to our troops overseas is protected against weather and dirt by paper and paper board. That is why our government is asking us to use less paper and to save all waste paper. Help the stores where you shop to use less paper. For when you carry your own shopping bag to save paper bags, when you accept your canned and bottled and packaged goods unwrapped, you save that much more paper for the boys at the front.
