Mrs. Temple was sitting as rigid and cold as a snow woman, too apprehensive for action. I don't dare look," she whispered. "It's all right," soothed Mr. Temple. "Shirley's a smart girl; she did the sensible thing." Then Mrs. Temple began to cry. An even more narrowly escaped accident took place on the set of "I'll Be Seeing You." Shirley was studying her script before a small gas heater. The script was bound in six or eight places by celluloid rings that abruptly flamed, having been overheated by the flame. Shirley outleaped Nijinski, getting away efficiently from the script that burned entirely before an extinguisher could be fetched. A week later Mrs. Temple told Shirley, "I'm still seeing that script, night after night in my dreams, as it burst into flame. You could have been horribly burned. . . . The whole thing gives me chills." "That wasn't the effect it had on me," grinned her daughter. "I was warm for the first time in days." One of the nicest things about Mrs. Temple, from a daughter's standpoint, is her willingness to let her girl grow up, her readiness to accept Shirley as an adult. Take the crucial matter of lipstick, the battle department in many a home. From the time Shirley was a little girl, Mrs. Temple always added a touch of lipstick to Shirley's mouth for photographic purposes. The lipstick was barely applied, then it was all but erased by kleenex while Mrs. Temple issued a few sentences of propaganda such as, "There— that's pretty, Shirl. A little lipstick is lovely, but a lot is ugly." Came then the day when Shirley was allowed to wear a little lipstick to her first parties. She was entrusted to apply it herself. Maybe it was a little heavy at first, but gradually— wearying of the novelty—Shirley began to use less and less. Currently she uses a vivid red, but she applies it so carefully that it doesn't come off on cups or napkins. When she is tired or hasn't been feeling well, she uses a faint brush of light pink rouge, but usually she has natural roses. She also uses a dash of powder across nose and chin. About two years ago she began to notice how nice the "older" girls looked in their high heels. Several times, when passing shops in Westwood or Beverly Hills, she lagged behind to stare covetously at spectator pumps. "Why don't you try on a pair to see how you could manage the heels?" suggested Shirley's mother. Do a duck swim? They strolled out of the shop with a pair of medium-high heeled shoes under Shirley's arm and an expression of bliss on the Temple face. Said Mrs. Temple, "I thought you looked very nice, Shirl. Just remember to take shorter steps than you would in saddle oxfords, and keep your stockings pulled tightly so they're neat around your ankles." That Christmas was an important one. While Shirley and her mother had been collaborating on family Christmas purchasing, Shirley saw an out-of-this-world ermine jacket. It was simple enough, made with a round collar, two bobs at each side, and swirly sleeves, but it was the epitome of a dream. Since she had been big enough to be covered by a coat made from forty-four mouse pelts, she had dreamed of the day when she would have an ermine coat. With mammoth subtlety she said to her mother, "That ermine jacket is pretty, isn't it?"
