isj) from i2@MS^S®S32) some the entrance to Laurel Canyon. Dorothy's daughter, who looks remarkably like her mother, is a quaint, darling child, imbued with much of her mother's practical, orderly manner; and when I happen over to their house on a Sunday morning, makes a great fuss about cleaning up the papers which Daddy, man-fashion, strews all over everywhere. When you see Dorothy Phillips and her small likeness out driving in her complacent Cadillac coupe, each quietly garbed and retiring as to disposition, it is difficult to recognize the tempestuous actress of such blood-curdling sea melodramas as "Hurricane's Gal." Jane Novak is too much concerned with ministering to her four3^ear-old daughter, who, by the way, is appearing with her in a picture, to bother with a dog or monkey pet. Likewise Claire Windsor, whose son, Bill, reigns supreme in her Wilshire. bungalow without having to give 'way to the demands o: pedigreed Pom or Simian fr Africa. Enid Bennett (Niblo) very proud of her baby daughter Mary Pickford and Douglas F; banks have no children, a i which I happen to know brings Mary's life its only sadness. She would eagerly welcome a child and when this maternal instinct that is such a prominent characteristic of hers eats at her heart in a longing impossible to repress, she takes an afternoon off and drives out to the orphanage near Los Angeles which she practically supports and plays with the homeless kiddies. I shouldn't be at all surprised if some day, despairing of her dreams being answered, Mary would adopt a youngster 6r two. And you don't see any dogs driving around town in the Pickford limousine, either. A P o m e r a n i a n couldn't quite still the. ache in Gloria Swanson's heart during her recent marriage when love waxed cold, so there came baby Gloria, upon lavishes her affection in strict seclusion, seldom appearing in public with her baby or permitting her to be photographed for publicity purposes. "My baby's life is her own," Gloria declares, "and I shan't force her into the glamor of fame — when she is old enough to choose for herself she may do so." Among the men, consider Milton Sills and Jack Holt, whom you could never picture acting as valets lo their own or their wives' poodles or monkeys. Mr. Sills is rearing his two little Sills to be fond of their home — by giving them the example of staying in it when not working, instead, of chasing bubbles of pleasure. Jack Holt lives in a rambling English house of cream color with a brick wall picoted with red, set in whom, however. Gloria Ruth Clifford lavishes her affection on dwarfed specimen of the squirrel monkey. buying the place, his first requisite was plenty of back yard for a sandpile for his three kiddies. Wallie Reid and his charming wife were not satisfied with just one youngster in the house — young Bill who is "five goin' on six" — but allowed their hearts to be captured by a blonde miss of some four years to the extent of adopting her as a playfellow for Bill. Their action proved that, though they may be working on the opposite theory followed by^ so many stars, their hearts are in the right place. w V V ith some, of course, marriage doesn't "take," but that does not hamper their love of children. Tom Mix stands as an example of this, with a twelve-year-old child of his first marriage who lives with him and the present Mrs. Mix and their brand-new baby daughter. Often, too, baby hands will link estranged parents across a wide gulf of disagreement, as it is prophesied the new Hart will effect a reconciliation between big Bill and the delicate Winifred. Buster and Natalie Talmadge Keaton are among the latest stars to present the waiting world with offspring. Bobby Vernon and Vera Steadman, both happily married, bear witness to the fact in cherubic facsimilies of themselves. Will Rogers boasts a whole string of little Rogerettes who make merry about the big corral, which is a part of his Beverly Hills estate; and Baby Ruth Margaret is Conrad Nagel's most prized possession. Carter deHaven and his small wife have three little half-portions as irresistible and joyful as themselves; and an equal number call Bryant Washburn "papa;" while Bill Desmond's very own youngster begs nickels from his daddy. But Raoul Walsh and Miriam Cooper have no progeny, nor have the Douglas MacLeans. Helene C h a d w i c k — who is married to an
