Colleen Moore Is Thrilled, Even Now, by Her ‘Doll House’ Creator of Fairy Castle Knows Every One of Hundreds of Miniatures Placed Inside Fantastic Structure. BY BEATRICE BL’RGAN SoriftT Editor COLLEEN MOORE planned her fairy castle for her own amusement. Today she Is to watch the first of hundreds of Indianapolis youngsters and adults get the same pleasure from viewing it that she does, as the exhibit opens at L. S. Ayres Sc Cos. The only inventory that is kept for the doll house and its hundreds , of miniature items never has been put on paper. It’s kept in Miss Moore’s mind. “Some day I’m going to have to write them down,’’ she confessed to the Junior League board members and committee chairmen at a luncheon given for her yesterday at the Woodstock Club. Just let one of the 47 teapots get out of place,’’ commented her brother, Cleve Morrison, at a dinner preceding the preview at Ayres’

tearoom last rugnt, ana colleen win miss it. ’ Miss Moore talks as excitedly about her fairy castle as visitors who see it for the first time. Her eyes sparkle and dance as she describes it. Words pour out breathlessly as she thinks of some treasure, more amazing than the one she has told about before. “It’s too sweet. It’s really lovely. It’s delightful,” she reiterates time and time again. She dares you to think of any fairy tale she has failed to represent in the miniature palace. “It’s not a doll house,” she insists. “It’s a fairyland castle.” Every detail is fantastic. “Early-Fairy” Design “We discarded a lovely Louis XIV library because

it was real. We call its architecture early-fairy,” she explained. She likes best the 300-year-old amber vase, which belonged to the Empress Dowager of China, She amazed her listeners when she said all fine things made can be had in miniature. She wants a luster tea set, and she knows that somewhere there is one to be found.

Her eagerness to collect never Is dulled, for she always is finding something to add to the hundreds of treasures, as fantastic as the ‘‘would you rather haves” in a “London Bridge Is Falling Down” game. She found two miniature chairs in Paris and she knew there must be other pieces to match. “Imagine my joy when I discovered them in New Orleans,” she exclaimed. She has a moonstone pavement planned for the drive where the gold coach she is to receive this week is to be parked. “We have shields for Lancelot, Guinivere and King Arthur. Because Guinivere’s love wavered between King Arthur and Lancelot, we have two hearts on the back of her’s—she two-timed, you see. We have a snake-in-the-grass on Lancelot’s.” Miss Moore wrote a 10,000-word fairytale for one of the books in the library and a cripple inscribed every word of it on miniature pages. She treasures the books inscribed by their authors. George Gershwin wrote the scores for a miniature copy of "Rhapsody, in Blue” and Paderewski penned the notes on a copy of his “Minuet.” Two suits of armor came from Rudolph Valentino’s estate. She bought two at the auction of his property and Bebe Daniels purchased two more. “But I’ll get them yet,” she threatened.

Wife Needs Tact to Keep Husband, Children Happy

Jane Jordan will help you with your difficulties by her answers to your letters in this column. Dear Jane Jordan—l do not think that fathers ever love their children as much as mothers. Why is this? My husband actually seems to resent our children and of course that only makes me love them the more to make up for his attitude. I would like to see what you have to say about it. MOTHER. Answer—A number of letters have been received recently from women who complain that their husbands are irritated by the children. The

mothers line up with the children against the father thereby dividing the household into two factors. Children should and do form a deep and powerful bond between married partners, but they also frequently cause an estrangement. The average

man is not particularly interested in a baby. What he wants is a 21-year-old son. The average woman gets her biggest kick out of maternity when the baby is little, wholly helpless and completely dependent. The father’s role of breadwinner does not call for the intense preoccupation with the child which falls to the mother’s lot. His part in the creation of anew life is but momentary while the woman’s extends over a long period of the closest intimacy. These physical differences of parenthood give rise to psychological differences which are just as great. The wife does not understand her husband's casual attitude toward his fatherhood. The husband does not understand the wife's absorption in motherhood. Their unity is interrupted and hostilities arise. It is not uncommon for the husband to feel an active jealousy to-

The only thing ever lost was one of the bird’s nests in the top of the "cradle tree.” A toy nightingale flaps his wings and sings when the right button in pushed. She remarked in a radio broadcast that the magic words to induce him to sing were “One-two-three, birdie sing.” A little boy visiting the exhibit one day stood in front of the bird and repeated the words time after time. A guard standing by heard him and hurried inside to press the button. The bird sang and the little boy beamed and said, “I knew he’d sing if I said it long enough.” Miss Moore never repeated the story again. “I’m going to play with the house myself for a year before I turn it over to the Los Angeles Museum,” she said. “I will tour with it until I have raised a million dollars for crippled children.” Betty Mayer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Kiefer Mayer, and Betty Weiss, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Weiss, proudly showed their friends Miss Moore’s autograph. The children were among many who with their parents, attended the dinner and preview. Junior League members, who sponsor the occupational therapy department at Riley Hospital, were among the 500 guests. Half of the proceeds are to go to the Riley Memorial Association, which supports the hospital.

ward the child who apparently displaced him in his wife’s affections. Prior to the coming of the child he enjoyed first place in her heart and there was nothing to distract her attention from his needs. If, perchance, he was the first born of his mother and was displaced after a few years by a younger brother or sister, he is apt to react toward his wife and her child with the same infantile jealousy he felt for his mother and anew baby. The hook-up in his mind between the two defeats, both at the hands of a beloved woman, is obscure and practically never consciously recognized. Usually his affection for his own child wars with his hostility and jealousy is put down a<” such, only to break out in the form of Irritation toward the little one’s cries and demands for attention. The woman who wishes to avoid these difficulties will never let her love for her husband fall below her love for her children. Too much maternal sense and too little erotic sense is pretty sure to shipwreck a marriage. When she transfers her whole love-life on to the child she has done a psychologically unhealthy thing for herself, her husband and her sons and daughters. The man who is emotionally frustrated is almost invariably irritable. When he loves the feeling of his own importance he can not help resenting whatever deprives him of it. To be serene at home, the average male needs to be cock of the walk. With infinite wisdom and tact the smart wife points out the father’s good qualities to the children within his hearing instead of inciting them to a secret contempt for his childish unreason. She mentions their good fortune in having such a perfect example of masculinity to copy. The proud father struts and strives to live up to her approval because she has made it so precious to him. She never forgets that without the father she would not have had the children.

with Miss Clapp. A long talk with her and I drove into Morgantown with Glenn Work, who kindly drives us around when we are here. We had a cafeteria lunch at the State University with a forum group, and then questions on any subject they wished to discuss were fired at me. This forum struck me as rather interesting as it is on a completely 50-50 basis. Fifty per cent men, 50 per cent women, 50 per cent students, 50 per cent faculty—and all seem to participate in the discussion. Afterward I went to the university experimental high school, where they have a great many children from the outlying mining districts. It is run very largely on the Dalton Pian, somewhat modified in certain instances, and staffed largely by student teachers under university professors. The most interesting thing I heard was that for three days next week, when the teachers are on vacation, the pupils have asked to have the school open and to run it themselves to show what they can do. Back at Arthurdale I went through the small hospital, which has a capacity of three beds, and the small clinic which will be in running order very shortly. I went through the shop and there found one of the young married men on the project, making furniture for himself. I think a number of the pieces I saw should be very salable. This has been a rainy, gray day, but so full of interest that we hardly have had time to notice the weather. (Copyright, 1936, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)
