The Man She Dreams Of Her ideal — that ghostly figure that is in the back of every girl's mind — the prince charming who will come some day, bringing romance and h appiness into her life. She wonders what she can do to make herself more attractive in his eyes. But little does she guess the thing above all others that he will love in her — the glow of perfect health. A rosebud complexion; a clear skin; steady nerves — these are the things a man wants in the woman he chooses for his wife. If girls but realized this they would take that splendid herbal tonic and nervine, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Dr. Pierce invites you to write to his clinic in Buffalo, N. Y., for free advice. Runav?a^s WKo Made Good Continued from page 86 pelled many aspiring young actresses to increased endeavors. In the hodgepodge of Hollywood's extras, there are many born with a silver spoon in their mouths, who live on remittances from home. They will never fight for roles, nor put their souls into their work the way those do who must go it alone. I have in mind Jane Winton, who sprang into the limelight with John Barrymore, in "Don Juan." Jane's parents died when she was seven. She was placed under the care of a guardian in Philadelphia, who believed Jane when she said that she and another girl were going to New England to visit. They ended in New York, with a suit case, thirty dollars in money, and a desire to make their own way. When the money was about gone, Jane got employment by posing in hats and gowns, thereby earning five dollars a day — some days. "We got down to nothing — absolutely nothing," Miss Winton told me. "There was a boy across the street from our boarding house, who had a lunch stand. My friend and I developed a crush on him, to all outward appearances. We'd go over and admire his huckleberry pies andice cream and, naturally, he'd offer us some. What we really would have liked were his sandwiches and buns, but we did not dare let on that we were hungry. We were living on breakfast food and water. Nevertheless, the pie and ice cream were glorious. "Then I got a job dancing in the Fokine ballet and did a solo in a Ben Ali Haggin tableau. One day, in stepping from an elevator with a crowd of strange girls, I drifted along with them to find where they were going. Unsuccessful, I turned to leave when a man's voice called, 'That girl wearing the red rose, going toward the door — tell her to come back !' "It was Ziegfeld's representative. Almost before I knew it, I was signed for the 'Follies.' I went back to my room in a daze. The break had come at last. Mr. Lasky and Mr. Zukor saw me on the stage, put me under contract to work in the movies and I came West. "I'm another who offers the advice, 'Don't run away from home!' The heartaches, the bitternesses, the despair which come to a girl alone in a big city, trying to fight her way, all leave their scars." And so it goes. Young women who, unaided, have achieved success, with few exceptions say they don't want others to try it, particularly when girls have good homes and are under the care of their mothers. And the long list of others who ran away and failed, adds a mute warning. It Pa^s to Be Dignified Continued from page 33 skumpty-umpty-thousand-dollar production. Not at all. It was Norma Shearer. Sit down for a minute and try to imagine the furthest possible cry from the type generally supposed to radiate. "It." Lillian Gish, of course. Yet rumors of her engagement to George Jean Nathan, the brilliant critic and essayist, persist. The fact that whenever Lillian is in New York they attend first nights at the theater together, is especially significant. In the pre-Gish days, Mr. Nathan attended the theater alone, preferring the comfort of having the chair beside him for his hat and stick to the company of any lady he had ever met. It wouldn't do not to mention Irene Rich. Her husband is David Blankenhorn, a bona-fide millionaire. When we read of this marriage, we remembered the day we had taken tea with Miss Rich at the Hotel Plaza in New York. It is doubtful if any one recognized her as a fa mous star when she entered the lobby. She was richly but conservatively dressed. Dark blue, if we remember correctly. A beautiful fur about her slim shoulders. A close-fitting hat. But listening to her understanding talk, noting her lovely hands moving about the tea things, warmed by her wide smile, we knew it was inevitable that some man would want her to grace his home. The more you think of it, the more it seems to be men of affairs, who have had the advantage of broadening contacts, and who, therefore, are as wise in the ways of women as men ever are, who eschew surface emotions, light fancies, and transient loves, and choose for their wives women endowed with reserve, women who don't go about exposing their hearts on their sleeves. So, if you're not the jazz type, don't entirely despair. Putting it bluntly, it really looks as if it paid to be dignified.
