Judith, of course, constitutes the central figure around which the other players revolve. The husband, Landis, Letty, and last but by no means least, Lillian, work out their parts by solving Judith's greatest problem, and thus cover the main space in the quilt. Threaded thru this pattern, and woven around it, is a finer and more delicate one — the subtle tracery of Judith's character. Numerous small pieces of various shapes and colors, contributed mostly by little incidents of no importance in themselves, but vital in the qualities of mind which they convey, go towards the completion of this inner design. Her thought fulness of others, her humble opinion of self and her patient efforts to mend the broken vessel of her marriage, are the sum total of these. The story is so closely hung together that the omission of one character or incident would spoil the whole quilt. What would we do without the astute Lillian? And, yet her design was apparently only odd little pieces, here and there, in the corners. Mrs. A. R. Buck With no small effort I reserved the reading of "Crazy Quilt'' until I had the entire six copies added to my Motion" Picture collection. Xow I have just finished it, and it surely tugs at your heart-strings. I am a housewife — and a mother — and I have made crazy quilts out of the little pieces that accumulate year after year. I have combined light with dark and with half-way between colors, stitched together with threads of different hue, and I have woven into each quilt the memories that came, unbidden, at the sight of every piece. "Crazy Quilt" is indeed a fitting name and the best title, in my opinion, for Adele Ormiston's wonderful story. Life is a crazy quilt when we stop to reflect. Not, of course, "crazy" in the sense the word is largely used — but. in the living of sad days and glad days, of dark years and glowing, bright ones, all in our collection of hours and days and years that make a lifetime. Judith Tower's life can surely be applied to this. Birth — and childhood — and we live our lives in whatever niche that Destiny (or shall we call it Fate?) allots us. For some a colorless quilt ; for others, one of gay, bright tints. And for still others, gladness with tears — joy with heartache. Their quilt or life, as Judith Tower's was, is indeed strikingly patterned, with light and dark, laughter and tears, combined in such a manner that they make up a crazy quilt — a life. Mrs. Mary Gould There are no fewer or other words in the English language that could express more adequately and fully than just "Crazy Quilt" this particular story, because the average life of a prominent motion picture actor or actress is so vitally ' and completely different from the prosaic existence led by the majority of people whose life is regular, safe, and uneventful, year in and year out. The greatest difference between the lives of actors and the average person is in the extreme contrasts of all their experiences.

The Loveliest Marcel Imaginable Just 30 minutes — once a week — at home BE FREE — free from slavery to your hair, from the tyranny of the hot iron, the expense of the beauty shop, the inconvenient * "appointments" OF course, you're weary of your unceasing slavery to your hair. Vou are sick of the endless round of beauty shop appointments, the indifferent operators, the difficulty of appointments, the disastrous results of hot irons, the tedious process of the "permanent," the bother of water waves, the constant expense. But, more than ever, you know how imperative it is to keep looking your best. "If other women can take the time and trouble, if they can afford the money, to keep their hair constantly waved, then I must, too." And you go the weary round again. End— TOD AY— the expensive, time-consuming, hair-ruining, " beauty shop" habit Don't be a slave to hair care a minute longer. It isn't necessary Vou can be immediately and permanently free from all the nuisance of hot iron marcels, "permanents" and water waves. But that doesn't mean that you must let your hair go, that you are doomed to straight, straggly, unkempt locks. tFar from it! A More Beautiful Marcel Than You Have Ever Known Vou can have the most gloriously waved hair you have everhad — a coiffure of smooth, loose, becoming waves framing your face, showing off your hair in all the beauty of its natural lustre, giving new grace to your shapely head. Just 30 minutes witii the Maison Marcellers once a week — at liome — gives you this marcel of unbelievable loveliness. A SI. 50 Marcel Saved Every Time You Use Them You know how appallingly your waving expense mounts up. The Maison Marcellers save all this expense and worry Just the price of a marcel or two, and you are free forever from further expense. In no time at all, you have saved the price of a new hat or frock. Be the Envy of All Your Friends Think how your friends will envy you your constant good grooming! Think what a reputation you will earn for unfailing smartness, with hair never straggly and unkempt, but always in the loveliest of soft, becoming waves! It Waves While You Dress All you do is slip tile Maison Marcellers on slightly dampened locks — and while you dress, your hair is waving. At the end of thirty minutes you slip the Maison Marcellers off — and your hair lies in a wave as utterly charming as the one pictured above. Does it sound too good to be true? Let your mirror decide. It will prove the almost unbelievable wonder of the Maison Marceller results. Bring Back Your Hair's Natural Beauty Xo matter how ruined your hair has been by previous waving methods, your Maison Marcellers give it a chance to regain its own soft, silky lustre. Once you are freed from the tyranny of hot irons tnat burn, break and discolor the hair and dry the scalp, the hot blast of water-wave "setting" that makes tne hair so dry and brittle, or other waving method that takes ouG all the life and lustre, and makes the hair harsh and kink\\ your hair begins to return to health and vigor. Ideal for Any Type of Hair— Any Arrangement It doesn't matter how you wear your hair, in a shingle bob, Ina Claire, horseshoe wave or pompadour, center or side part, the Maison Marcellers give it the correct line for that style. And it doesn't matter whether your hair is soft and fluffy, coarse and straight, long or short — you will have a wave that is utterly lovely. Vou can marcel your whole head, or you can simply reset the difficult side locks or a few unruly strands in the back. Vou can sleep with the Maison Marcellers on, if you want. They are made of soft rubber, light and flexible, scientifically designed. Before putting this Marcelling Outfit on the market, we asked fifty women to try it out and give us their opinion.
