And I shall wear a coat with a very high fur collar, one that comes right up under my eyes, and oh — I can feel I that fur tickling my nose right now !” Gloria scratched vigorously, then remembered a ruined make-up. “Goodness, where’s my powder puff?’’ ' The glories of the new car were utterly I forgotten. That lively child has the greatest way of switching from one subject to the other. Yet she is very grave for whole days at a time. Her dresser says that Gloria loves to have her hair done for pictures. She doesn’t mind how many times a day it must be re-drest, and if Hattie, her very capable helper, attempts to leave the lot, Gloria’s wheedling tones call her back. “Have you bobbed your hair?’’ “No, not bobbed, just short. I HATE long hair, do you ? Cant ever fix it nicely in pictures. I never wear a wig, but sometimes I have to put on a switch, as today for this costume which requires a braid of hair over each shoulder . . . twined with pearls . . . that is the braids, not shoulders.” One thing noticeable about Gloria Swanson is that she is always being waited upon by some one. She’s most winsome, very thoughtful and practical, and yet she has a way of letting others share responsibilities and of assisting her in every way. Some one is always saying “Cream, dear?” and taking care of her cup of coffee, or “Let me carry that for you, honey?” and she’s a sort of royal princess wherever she travels. Gloria is not spoiled or selfish, but she’s centered her mind on acting to the exclusion of all other pursuits or duties. Taking it all in all, Gloria is distinctly different. She has great individuality, a firm will, and moods which change with her environment. You may find her I blithely gay for two days at a time, and again very .still, eager to remain home and cogitate. There are times when she must dance wildly, ride like a Cossack, sing like an Apache — and then you wonder whether you’ve ever really known Gloria Swanson, daughter of the Vikings. And again you’ll find moments when she wants to be alone with Bee and her faithful hair-dresser, Hattie. She gives lots of parties at her home, is frequently seen dancing at the beach cafes, and is a great favorite among the younger movie set. But when asked whether she spent much time in reading, little Miss Swanson, of the sudden rise into fame, said with her usually contradictory manner: “Er, ye-es, I read a great deal, that is, when I am sick. Just think, the only time I was laid up, for four years, was when I had the flu last December— -and I read so much ! You would be astonished to see how many books I had about me !” Isn’t it a wonder that they can reproduce positives from the negatives of so delightfully contrary a creature?
