Til. things. She is not a primitive person. She is entirely of this world, poised, sure of herself, friendly, but not giving herself in intimate speech to every passerby. A good listener, an excellent conversationalist, as styled and chic and charming as one of the frocks Eanton so brilliantly designs for her. She has ideas. She knows which pictures she likes and which she doesn't like. She knows which parts she can feel, and, feeling, play. She has an excellent grasp of the mechanics of screen writing, the perfect construction which should go into the making of the perfect picture, and she is quick to see flaws in technique or characterization. If you want to be like Kay Francis, you can't stop learning. You can't just rest on your laurels. You must set yourself 'a goal, and when you win through to it you must set yourself another goal and try for that one, too. Here is a self-contained person, quiet in gesture, restrained in speech but alive to her long finger tips, nothing inert about her, nothing phlegmatic. But a controlled person. I imagine that that control has been a goal and that she set it for herself. If you want to. be like Kay Francis you will have no use for swank. You will be faintly amused and more than faintly disgusted at the people who swagger in their talk, and who, having themselves won a certain position, look down instead of at other people, and who go suddenly high-hat. If you want to be like Kay Francis you will be yourself. That is a paradox, I suppose, as perhaps you know your real self does not resemble Miss Francis in the least. But if you are yourself, you are like her in one very basic quality. For she is herself, quite perfectly, and does not try to be like anyone else. And how very wise she is. In other words, if you want to be like Kay Francis you will be first of all your' very own self, with a respect for the personality which is uniquely your own, a respect which isn't in the least vanity, and which is a very valuable thing to possess. For the rest you will be entirely natural. You will have no little affectations which, while they may be endearing for a time, soon become a bit boring. You will care for enduring things, the world which lies beyond your door, books, knowledge— and for simplicity. I DO not mean simplicity of the "simple" sort. I mean a rather expensive simplicity. For it is, you know, the "simplest" clothes that are most expensive. The simplest dinner, which is the best, is generally prepared from the very finest materials. And in order to live simply one lives expensively. Nor do I mean expense in dollars. I mean that in order to live one's life as simply as possible, one must pay for it in a number of ways. I remember ' that Miss Francis told me that when she is working she goes to bed at eight o'clock. If she consents to go out during the making of a picture she leaves a party at about ninethirty. Ten is her deadline. Now, that is working hard and living simply, isn't it? And sanely, too, and wisely? But it costs her something, I imagine, m explanations and all the rest. We are cut so on a pattern that when any one deviates from it and makes his own pattern we are apt to be exclamatory about it. But when Kay Francis says she must go home at nine-thirty, she goes. This is her life. She intends to live it as she sees fit, and if she sees fit to be, for a time, a nine-thirty girl in a three-thirtv town, she'll do it. If you want' to be like Kay Francis you must figure out where you are going and why, and when you have decided, you must go there serenely, as befitting a gentlewoman. With a little laughter back of your eyes, and with confidence in yourself and in your star. In other words, if you want to be like Kay Francis you must be a very real person, and a person with not only genuine physical beauty, but genuine character. If you arc like her, I congratulate you. If you want to be like her I congratulate'you also; it is a step in a very right and praiseworthy direction. Modern Hostess (Continued from page 78) getting around that corner where prosperity is reputed to be waiting for us. ONE of the reasons why it should be a genuine pleasure to bake bread is the fact that the men, bless them, do so enjoy home-made bread and rolls and coffee cake. For instance, take Gary Cooper. He still remembers and loves to talk about the bread and rolls which his mother used to make when they lived in Montana. Of course, Gary, like lots of other men, clings to the notion that the bread his mother used to bake was the very finest bread which ever came out of an oven. Perhaps your husband makes just such a claim for his mother's bread, too. But with modern ranges and oven controls and thermometers and superb flours and scientifically prepared yeast, any woman with any instinct for cooking whatsoever can turn out better bread than any one's mother did and, what is more, do it with unfailing regularity if she will but follow a few simple rules. The preparation of bread is a simple process and the time consumed in making it is short compared with that required by lots of other foods. And when you have introduced your family to the joys of hot clover leaf rolls, fresh and 106
