ego I had a brief affair with. a
girl from my office. At the time,
I thought I had goad reason ..
I soon realized, however, I loved
my wife, and wanted only het'.
We were reconciled, promising to
forget the past. Though the affair
was definitely ended, my wife
has never ceased to nag me about
it, She made such scenes that
the girl quit her job.
"Since then, my wife has att-
cused me of having an affair
with every new girl that joins
the staff, She will not believe
my denials. If I'm a few minutes
late getting home, she is furious;
I never know what mood I'll find
her in. When we discuss any fam-
ily problems, she eventually
blames all our troubles on my
running around! I only leave the
house at night without my family
to escape her scenes.
CHILDRFN INVOLVED
"We've been married 18 years,
and have two lovely children.
Now my wife makes it a point
to start arguments before them,
tells them I'm a no-good father
and husband, and she screams
her accusations loud enough for
the neighbours to hear. Heaven
knows I've been faithful to her,
and a good parent, in spite of her
tantrums. When I have threat-
ened to leave (which she has
asked me to do) she says she
will take the children to another

BOY GROWS "HORNS"
Doctors in the Protectorate of
Somaliland had a strange patient
a short time ago—a boy who grew
"horns" on his fingers.
Aged fourteen, he was taken to
hospital with horns nearly as long
as the fingers on which they had
grown. On the end of each horn
was what looked like a fingernail,
The boy's fingers were mas-
saged regularly, and one morning
the horns were seen to fall off.
Then it was found that his fingers
were rtormat, except that the tips
were unusually pointed.
The horns wilt go to a medical

Lantarr. They adopted a c'hiitl,
then divorced. A third tt'y was
the Perfect Wile, Myrna Loy, bet
after a while they divorced, too,
One day Hedcla hopper, famous
Hollywood columnist and screen
actress, said: "Gene, when what
you really want is a wife, why
do you k.tep on marrying picture
star's?"
"I just keels on trying," he
replied, smiling faintly, "some-
where in this world there must
be a woman in whom are coo'
bined all the qualities I'm looking
for,"
"Beauty, wife, mistress, mother,

for sotitething not .yet born on

"Maybe so," he said with • a
twinkle," but. I have a lot of fun
looking."
"It is So Silly!"
In her sparkling memoirs,
"From Under My Hat," one of
the most candid, amusing books
ever written about Hollywood,
Hedda Hopper says that John Gil-
bert, who acted with Garbo, peg-
ged her in vain to marry hint.
He even had a suite of rooms
arranged in his house for the
great Swedish star, and the black
marble bathroom cost him15,000
dollars. When he showed it to
her she put her slender hands
over her eyes and murmured:
"The marble—it is too shiny—"
so he got workmen to flute it and

Hurt by her refusal, he next
wooed stage star Ina Claire, then
eloped with her to Las Vegas. In
the wedding pictures Ina carried
a bouquet of wilted flowers.
'Weren't they awful?" she re-

Cat Feud
At one time there was a feud
between Gloria Swanson, who
loved cats, and Pole Negri, who
hated them so much that she
ordered every one to be banished
from the studio. Her cohorts ran
around snatching them up and
dispatching them in bags, while
Gloria's scoured - back alleys,
rounding up strays to let loose,
putting out cans of milk and liver
tit -bits to woo them. In the night,
Gloria's cats would be seized and
cast out. In the morning two more
would appear for every one
ejected,
Then Gloria - scored off Negri
by riding from her dressing -room
to the set in a wheel chair, fring •
ed on top, pushed by a Negro
boy. Everybody said: "She's just
showing tff." But Miss Hopper
says she swears to this day that
her costumes were so cumber-
some she couldn't walk that die-
tante to the stage.
Frances Marion, the screen
writer, owned a beautiful Scottie
which was killed by the vicious
police dog of her neighbors, the
Fred Niblo's. The blow was felt
by everyone, but Frances and her
husband did nothing about it.
Their twelve gardeners, however,
taking things into their own
hands, were busy for days on a
mysterious activity. Then, in the
night, they dropped twelve bag-
fuls of snails on the Niblo's lawny
and in no time the garden didn't
have a living flower'

found a lion sitting in the door-

back towards the set with Norma
at her heels, found a night watch-
man and tried to tell him about
it, but her teeth were chattering
so, she could hardly get out the
words. He just gave her a big
laugh,
"He wouldn't bite you, miasy-
He ain't got no teeth to bite
with... "
"He's got claws, though."
"They're clipped, Don't go bele'

to be scared of, we give them the
