It is also for the same reason that guests find the prompt writing of the notes pleasantest. While everything Is fresh in one’s memory, notes are | not actually hard to write, though they may seem to be, if a person is not a ready writer. Once the writ | ing materials are out and the note -gun, it almost “writes itself.” Delayed Note Difficult. 1t is the delayed notes that are the difMcult ones. Then two things have to be expressed, first, the “thank you” part and the thie excuses (or reasons) for the tardiness. It is apt to be more difficult to make graceful ex- cuses than particularly the delay is nothing but to write. The desire to keep this | thought out of the letter cramps the ready flow of appreciation. A person as the usual reason for | know that the hospitality so kindly extended and <o heartily enjoyed wis after all not sufficient to warrar e immediate courtesy of a little bread and butter letter. Perish the thought! So excuses have to be made, and sometimes they are quite apparently “made up. Tardy Better Than None. But if the note has not been sent be sure that it goes, even though be- lated. A tz note of thanks is a hundredfold better than no note at all. Before starting the letter allow a few moments for thinking over the visit, recalling all the good times you | enjoyed together. Let the letter ex- press something of this. Do not make profuse excuses, but let the lit- tle you do say be to the point. Too many excuses carry the idea, and it i= usually true, that there was no real worthwhile reason for the tardi- ness, that procrastination alone was responsible. Lither say so frankly and let it go at that, or give the out- standing reason Most persons have at one time or another done the ungracious thing of <ending belated notes of thanks, and | hostesses usually can be relied upon | to accept your tardy note in the spirit was sent.

The vibrations, at times, are stimulating, and encourage all social or family reunions: at other times they are depressing and tend to excess and extremes. In order to be able to pass not only a merry, but a happy Christmas, it will be quite neces- sary to have yourself at all times well in hand so that when a sense of exu- berane develops you must refuse abandon vourself to it completely, just as, when the moments of doubtful intro- spection occur, you must not allow your- self to become unduly depressed. The day’'s happiness will be found in steer- ing a sane middle course. A child born today will be robust and strong during its infancy, but will dur ing later childhood be subject to many and serious ailments. At this period of its life intellectual studies must not be stressed, and it must be given as much outdoor exercise as possible. It will be amiable, magnetic and faithful, and of a happy disposition. It will enjoy luxury and ease, but will be able to adapt it #elf to other conditions. It will be ideal. istic and eensitive, kind and generous. It will like music and art, and get much enjoyment from both. It should not marry hurriedly. 1f today is your birthday you are just, conscientious, methodical and discreet. You love travel and good literature and are an intelligent and a fluent talker. You assimilate what you read, and gather information by observation. You are true and loval to your friends and | devoted to the ones you love. You are a little bit too meticulous to be popular, and devote so much atten- tion to details as to overlook at times big and important issues. parently not cut out for assuming en- tire charge of a large enterprise, but are eminently successful in discharging the duties of a subordinate position. Well known persons born on this date are: Clara Barton, social worker; Theo- dore L. DeVinne, printer; Patrick S. Gilmore, musician; Frederick Dielman, artist; Francis Blake, inventor; El- bridge T.

My Neighbor Say: If a skirt is much splashed with mud or stained along the hem it should not be brushed until the stains are completely dry, prompt treatment while the mud is still wet only causing the dirt to sink into the ma- terial. 1f brushing does not eliminate the marks when the material is dry, sponging with denatured ether should be tried, this method succeeding admir- ably both with serge and cloth costumes in dark colors as well as lighter fabrics.

The Young Wife Who Has Never Been Taught the Value of Money. | EAR DOROTHY DIX: Why must a man always be kept guessing to keep | him interested in & woman? Why can't a girl be admired, or loved for || | herself and not for her fickleness that keeps a man tearing his hair over her? | T have had many men in love with me, but T have never been able to hold | one, and 1 think the reason is that T showed them too plainly that I liked| | them, and that I was anxious over their failure to call. In other words, I | did not keep them guessing. A SKEPTICAL YOUNG LADY. | = Answer: You can lay down no general rule on the subject because all | men do not feel alike about it. Some men like women who are uncertain, | coy and hard to please, while others prefer the woman who throws herself | at their heads and who flatters their vanity by making them feel that she is| in love with them whether depends upon t Of course, generally speaking, men enjoy the love chase. They like to| believe, at least, that they have pursued some timid dear who has fled from | them through all the mazes of courtship. and that they have captured her | at last by their superior prowess. Such men do not care for the woman who | is herself a man hunter and who will get them if they don't watch out it is the part of wisdom to keep a man guessing or nnl' e man In dealing with this type of man, him find out how much she cares for him he loses interest in her. She also queers her game if she calls him up on the phone and tries to make dates with him. Nothing bores him so much as having a woman keep tabs on him and make him keep appointments with her when he wants to do something else. The idea of a girl sitting up waiting for him to come to see her does not allure him. The woman he would break his neck to go to see is the one who has &0 many men after her that he has to use diplomacy and finesse to get a stray half hour. But there are other men who never think of being in love with a girl until she shows that she is flattered and pleased at their attentions, and that he is in love with them.

It is hard on her, and it is cruelty to dumb animals to the man because he cannot afford to have his small salary wasted by a voung and untrained wife who has no more idea of the value of a dollar than she has of the theory of relativity Tp to the time she is married not one girl in a hundred, unless she is a business girl. has ever been taught anvthing about how to spend money o | as to get the most out of it. As a matter of fact, she has never spent any money at all because her mother has bought her all she had, and so when| he hecomes the disbursing agent of & family she tackles a job for which she | is utterly unprepared. That is why so many young couples go on the rocks during the first| years of their married life, for nothing in the world gets on a man's nerves S0 much as seeing his hard-earned money wasted and thrown away, nor does love's young dream last long when the ways and means committee in a household are in a perpetual fight. . When a girl's parents have failed to do their duty in educating her in how to spend money, it is the husband's business to try to make good her eficiency. It is up to him to explain to her definitely just how much income they have and help to budget out their expenses. and he is a wise man if he will go over her little accounts with her every day, and praise her for the saving she has made, and bolster her up in sticking to her budget, and not robbing one account to help out another. | The budget plan is the only successful plan on which to run a household, | Friend, and if you will write to any of the household magazines they will tell you where to get a system of budget envelopes, or perhaps your own savings bank will furnish them to yo!

No other human being in the world can tell you what you should do in such a situation. You know your husband’s character, and are better able than any one else to judge how sincere his repentance is, and how much faith is to be put in his promises, and whether he has the strength to hold to a good resolution. It may be that the shock of losing you, of finding out that you had the nerve and courage to leave him when he mistreated you, brought him to his senses. It may be that his loneliness when he found that he had lost his home, and his wife. and his child made him realize the blessedness of family life, and that he will be careful not to jeopardize that again.

DOROTHY DIX, (Copyright, WHEN WE GO SHOPPING BY MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN. 1924.) What Mink Value Means. Every shopper-after-furs knows that the ones which combine dura- bility with richness and beauty are the rarest furs of all. Yet if you have been accustomed to considering the lovellest furs as too fragile for prac- ticality—look at mink when you visit the fur department. Mink will stand the test for both handsome appearance and hard serv- mink. Central skins are of lower | quality, and southern ones are prob- ably the least desirable of all, for they are extremely flat, and the stiff, coarse hair is not attractively col- ored. This valuable fur is found in most parts of North America, and its splen- did wearing qualities are appreciated wherever women desire rich effect coupled with serviceability. Japanese INDIANS FROM THE YORK RIVER] ice; the only question to consider is whether your pocketbook will stand the test of paying for it. This fur is easily recognized by its rich brown color, and, in the best qualities, by its striped markings in deeper brown. Like fisher and kolin- sky, which it resembles, it represents the finest furs among the weasel fam- ily. The natural loveliness of the mink color makes it require no dye. In fact, luster such as that of mink cannot be imparted by any dye. This luster is largely due to the “over fur,” the extremely glossy surface hairs, in which mink is rich. The pelts are dressed to preserve and emphasize the luster of this “over fur.” In buying mink you should under- stand that there are four definite grades, dependent upon weight, qual- ity, color and depth of hair. Exam- ine the fur for softness, pliability and closeness of texture, remembering that the softer skins are the younger ones, which are more valuable than the older skins. Thickness and depth you can judge easily by blowing into the pelt. In general, the darker the color of the fur the more costly it i . Minks are further classified as southern, central, eastern and north- ern. Northern skins are probably the choicest, considering them from all standpoints, for the skins are well colored, thickly furred and extremely durable. The northern skins are the ones most commonly used in this country. 4 Esstern skins, too, are remarkably fine. They are small in size, and the fur is exceedingly silky, and of dark, rich color. ~ However, they are not nearly so durable as the northern mink is a species from Japan, Man- churia and Korea. It is a pale yellow in color, but is frequently blended, with a darker stripe, to a deep, rich brown, to imitate the American mink. Though not as durable as the latter, it is considered a good wearing fur: HOW IT STARTED BY JEAN NEWTON. The “Yule” Log. It is from the early Scandinavians that we have the “Yule log,” un- christian, too, as any pagan image. At their festival of the Summer solstice ahout June 21, according to our calendar, it was the custom among these Northern people to build out in the open, great fires of logs. Then, in imitation of these they arted to build bonfires at the Winter calebra- tions, which were held in honor of their god, Thor. To these festivities, which took place in December, they applied the name “Yuul.” And so, at this time of the year, when nature sleeps beneath the snow, ‘when the harv has been gathered and it is not yet time to sow, when the days are short and the nights are long, the logs to which they look for grateful warmth are still called by these Northern people by the name ‘Yuul,” which has been anglicized to (Copyright, 192¢.) —_——— Smoked snow water Is a favorite drink -of the Laplanders.
