Not that on her motor trips thru llolh wood she goes hunting for game. Not at all! She merely expresses herself as extremely fond of going shooting with her husband, and of feeling safe when she goes out iii the evening to pay a call. "Every woman" ladies, this is real, good advice — "should know how to protect herself. If anybody tries to hold you up, it's undignified to scream so that the whole community'! I know what's happened. Likewise, it isn't ladylike to try to scratch your adversary, or to bite him. Merely show your authority, and, if you have to shoot — shoot straight." Lady policewomen infest Los Angeles. Some day, says Wanda, she may be fortunate enough to be nominated one. A supreme opportunity to get a true slant on life and to get a real thrill. But, even tho Wanda would crave to be a sort of Diana of the golf links, or a lady drummer, she's cut out to shine for five years in the very brightest electric 5 Mr. Edison's factory can manufacture. It has all come to her so quickly that she's bewildered. It's like waking up from a dream and not knowing whether or not the day is night. It's all that, and a lot more, she says. A mere two years ago she played opposite Tom Mix in a thriller where they made her ride a horse when she'd never ridden before. Then, she was known as Wanda Petit. A year and a half ago she went to Lasky's to play supporting parts, among them the sister role in "Eor Better, For Worse." When they wanted a colleen to impersonate Laurette Taylor's delightful Peg in the screen version of Hartley Manners' "Peg o' My Heart," they cast Wanda in the part, and also as Beauty in "Everywoman" because her blondness is of the fresh, unspoiled type peculiarly indigenous to youthful personages. She savs that there is nothing she so thoroly dislikes as a "sleezy-sleezy" ingenue, as she calls these taffy-haired creatures who hop thru the picture like an educated flea. And, what is more, she promises us that she'll retire from the screen if she ever has to play one. And if you've seen her opposite Wallace Reid in "Double Speed," or Bryant Washburn in "The Six Best Cellars" or "Mrs. Temple's Telegram," you know what I mean. Even in "Held By the Enemy," where she furnishes the comedy relief when the drammer gets too heavy, she doesn't sleeze— merely falls oil a chair or something. It's because she's blonde and pretty, and because she has large quantities of what the high-brows term "personality" that Wanda has been made one of the stellar luminaries. While she's not a bit more upstage now at the thought of owning her own fine home, of having her dressingroom on star row, and of being given the privilege of selecting her ov vehicles, she's nevertheless excited. And who wouldn't be, when they're just barely twenty and only last week suffered a deletion of their only wisdom tooth? =f August Nights Will bring to millions Bubble Grains in Milk Don't put aside your Puffed Grains when breakfast ends in summer. Children want them all day long, and there's nothing better for them. The supreme dish for luncheon or for supper is Puffed Wheat in milk. The airy grains — puffed to eight times normal size— taste like food confections. Yet every morsel is whole wheat with every food cell blasted. The finest foods ever created Puffed Wheat, Puffed Rice and Corn Puffs are the finest grain foods in existence. Never were cereals so enticing. The grains are fairy-like in texture, the flavor is like nuts. They seem like tidbits, made only to entice. Yet they are major foods, with every food cell steam-exploded, so digestion is easy and complete. They will take the place of pastries, sweets, etc., if you serve them all day long. And at meal-time they will make whole-grain foods tempting.
