She wants, at least, a Kathleen and a Michael. And if Kathleen or Michael doesn't arrive very soon, Barbara isn't going to wait patiently any longer. She and Frank Fay had a twofold purpose for their holiday in New York. They wanted to play the Palace, of course. But they'd also heard about a little Irish orphan being offered for adoption ... a little orphan, one and a half years old, with red hair and freckles . . . But they got here too late. As you've probably judged, I'm for Barbara Stanwyck. And thinking of her I keep remembering a Golden Text I learned years ago in Sunday School.

"It's given me — well, something secure and real, something to work on. Something to answer to. We all need someone to whom we are accountable — and we'd all like to give a good accounting, don't you think ?" "Then you believe in the old-fashioned wife?" I asked. But Lew shook his shining young head vigorously. "I like a woman to show domestic tastes and some domestic ability," he declared, "but not to the point where she neglects her husband for her house, no siree I" I found out, however, that he got a great thrill from having his socks darned and that the sight of Lola with a dust-rag in her hand was to him the most beautiful and picturesque bit of scenery to be found in America. T T isn't the actual housework that I ■*■ so enjoy seeing her do !" he explained hastily. "It's the symbol of AT last — a practical reference book on beauty — at the cost of a magazine!
