FEATURES. Elaborate Gloves of Many Designs BY MARY MARSHALL.

Men have no such incon- venience. They have, when dressed for Winter, no less than 17 pockets apiece, and would not relinquish one INTERESTING ENVELOPE HAND- BAGS.

What Today Means to You BY MARY BLAKE. Capricorn. Fairly good planetary aspects pre- vail until noon, after which they are of a disruptive nature. During the early part of the day much can be accomplished along conservative lines of endeavor, especlally if they are related to engineering and invention. In the afternoon, attention should be given only to routine matters, and all risks of any description should be avoided, particularly those in con- nection with finance, drugs and ve- hicles No social functions should be attempted this evening, as the probabllity {s that they will not be succe: A strenuous effort must be made in the family circle to maintain peace and harmony, as the vibrations are easily of such a nature as to be provocative of discord and anger. A child born today will be normal, and, like other normal children, sub- Ject, more or less, to the customary infantile ailments.

You should curb a tendency to speak sharply and sar- castically to subordinates, and en- courage friendships, which you can casily secure. It is most unfortunate that, with your many gifts, vou so often go out of your way to show your bad side, rather than display the right side. The strict “keep-at-your-distance” attitude is never productive of either good or lasting results. There is a middle road, which can be called “self respeot, and respect for others.” A cheery word, a pleasant smile, and an expression of approval make more friends than perpetual fault-finding and a Stiff reserve that is not human.

When finally the knave who stole the dragon’'s cup led Beowulf to the lair of this all-destroying creature, the King stationed his nobles on a hillock and went forth to meet his enemy. Soon the dragon scented Beowulf and rushed forth to do bat- tle, breathing noxious flames and gasses. A mighty combat then ensued. And all save one faithful .thane, called Wiglaf, fled in terror—seeing this mortal cngagement. _ Sore-scorched and afflicted was Beowulf when brave Wiglaf rushed forward and dealt the dragon a mighty cut on his underside. This lessened the mon- ster’s fire-breath. And the two Geat- men set about dispatching their enemy. This .they did, but Beowulf was wounded unto death and knew his doom was near. He called on Wiglaf to fetch some of the treasure they had so dearly won, that he might ses it before he died. This Wright did, and bathed his master’s hurts and called unto the people to draw near, for their King was dying. (Copsright, 1925.)

Onoe I knew the percentage of women who wore eyeglasses all the time. I've forgotten now, but any- way, iy doesn't matter. The point is that péople belleve eyeglasses make a woman look older and plainer; therefore, every woman s concerned to find the sort of glasses that will majke her less old and less plain. It's odd how eyeglasses lend an air of character. Only Americans wear the tortoise-shell rim kind; abroad, you can spot an American anywhere on the streets bacause of them. On the English and French stages every American character Is played wear- ing tortoise-shell rims, which go oddly with the continental imitation of nasal American or American-pro- nounced French. The appearance of the tortoise shell rims is enough to start a laugh. 1 wonder why. Tortoise-shell rims, for some reason, are the most becoming type of eveglasses. They will let a young girl still look like a voung girl, whereas, old rims or rimless glasses would make her seem a school teacher, or a mature woman. They add character and decislon to a vacant-nondescript face; indeed, simply and solely becauss he looks 0 very Intelligent, and he isn't at all. He has just intelligence enough to know how much he lacks. Jpon re- flection, I think that shows a good deal of clevernsss, but that has noth- ing to do with eveglasses. 1 belleve tortoise-rimmed glasses are becoming because they add a frame to the eyes, and therefore em- phasize them. Plain glasses hide the eyes. The fact that the “rims” are nearly universal now makes no dit- ference. G. C.
