Therefore such sets v be costly, but they may also be economical. If this seems to be contradictory let us con- sider these intriguing sets and analyze their chairm and th thrifty char- acter.

But it is not alone from the view- point of a collector’s joy in such sets, nor from the economical idea, that har- lequin sets are desirable. Since each piece is individual, each person who is served knows which cup and saucer is his for the time being. A second cup of tea can be brought with the absolute assurance that the cup is the one previously used. This s xerving as well as assuring service. There are h: and host. who use harlequin sets for this tinct reason.

He knew now that Chatterer had just heen making of him and teasing him. He knew that it would be quite useless to try to find any of those storenouses by watching Chatterer, o he wasted no more time there.

Chatterer the Red Squirrel is one of the smartest little people in the Gireen Forest. He is altogether too smart to put all his treasures in one hiding place. Like his little cousin, Striped Chipmunk. Chatterer has underground _store- houses, and like his big cousin, Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel, he has store- houses in hollow trees and hollow log: So he puts part of his Winter supply in one place and part in another place, and has several storehouses. And then, as you already know, he stores mushrooms _in the forks of branches of a tree. He doesn’t put them away in hollows because thev would rot there. But left out in the open they dry, and they are a splendid change in Winter when he is tired of nuts and seeds from the pine cones. Happy Jack cares nothing about the cones from the evergreen trees, but these furnish Chatterer with a large part of his food. As I have already said, he is smart. He is smart to cut off those cones from the trees before they are ripe and open. He knows that if he walits until they are open the seeds will drop out and sail away. So he cuts the ceunes before Lhey are If he can He certainly exquisite | The money | funq ever he | WALKER.

Each person, for in- stance, at a gathering where there are nto a large number can drink repeat- edly from his own goblet, knowing it is his for a gertainty.

Assembling Sets. Could anything lend itself more de- lightfully to the needs of such home- | ers? The china closet can be rched and many an old cup and aucer (the two pleces matching, of se) can be piut to use again,| h they may have been laid aside | ; the antique teapot of an-| other set and the sugar and cream | | from other old pleces be ferreted out | and restored to use in a way th | would be gratifying to them if th | could but speak. To these pleces can | be added, from time to time, other cups and saucers or such pieces as are found wanting to complete the correct number and kind for a set. The lure of the collector will seize you, and you will be looking for &t- tractive porcelains wherever you go well.as in the shops in vour own own. You will find yourself learning different styles, makes and marks, and 0 adding to your store of {nformation such as connoisseurs delight in. Let me add that it is not alone in cups and saucers, tea things and glasses that harlequin sets consist. Platés and serving dishes may be included, until finally you have a_collaction in which you may deservedly take pride. A Hint for Christmas. By the way,.if you know of any friend who is making a collection for a harlequin set, nothing will please her more for a Christmas gift than some plece to add to it. Fortunately a cup and saucer alone or a single plate or other piece can be had at prices to suit any purse, and you can have the satisfaction of realizing your choice will be felicitous.

In his storehouses he puts away acorns, chestnuts, hickory nuts, beech- | nuts and even butternuts. When he can easily get corn you will find a | plentiful supply in one of his store- houses. Like his big cousin, Happy Ja the Gray Squirrel, he sometimes ides things under the leaves. But he does not do this as generally as Happy ack. There is little danger that | Chatterer will go hungry in the | Winter. Moreover, with several store- | houses he is sure to come through nice even though one of those store- houses may be destroyed. Long ago he Jearned not to put all his treasures in one place. But though Chatterer has at all { open fire looms suddenly times an ample supply, he doesn’t be- lieve in drawing on that supply when ho can find food elsewhere. So he hunts for his daily food much as other little people do. But, of course, he doesn’t go hungry as others do when they cannot find enough. It is then that he draws on his storehouses. Chatterer had one particular store. house which would have surprised Peter Rabbit could he have peeked into it. This had been a splendid year for hickory nuts, and in that storehouse Chatterer had such a sup- ply of nuts as Peter wouldn't have believed it possible for so small a person to have gathered. You know, Chatterer i3 one of those busy people who always have time for something else. You'll find it that way all through life. The busiest people are always the people it is_easiest to get to do something else. When Chat- terer works, he works. When he plays, he plays. He doesn't put off till the next day the work which should be done today. The time to make hay is when the sun shine: The time to gather nuts is when they are ripe. All the Squirrel fami know this. That is why you seldom if ever find their storehouses empty. (Copyright. 1925.) Coffee Frappe. Beverages such as coffee, chocolate and fruit punch are often half frozen to @ mush, when they are spoken of as coffee, chocolate or fruit frappe. They may or may not be served at a function where ice cream or sherbet is served, but-a frappe Is usually served at a reception, tea, lawn party or card party when an ice is not served. A frappe is served in a sherbet cup. It is less sweet than a sherbet. To make coffee frappe, take a quart of strong and very clear coffee chilled, add three- fourths cupful of sugar and turn into a freezer packed as for ice cream. Turn the crank until the mixture is half frozen. Serve in sherbet cups sither with or without whipped cream. il i i It isn’t propaganda, however, unless it favors something you oppose, says fhe Office Boy, SUB ROSA By MIML How Can I Be Sure?

Stimulation fs lacking, although there will be experienced u sense of complacency and contentment, very much {n keeping with the spirit of the it At times there will be sensed a desire to find fault, not with your- self, but with others. This should be curbed, and a philosophical calm »stablished. There are in every home little incidents that rub one the wrong way; meaningless words that jar; actions that irritate. If these are dwelt upon, differences ensue and acri- mony reigns supreme. Remember that none of us are perfect, and that hap- piness can only be secured by con- sideration, not of one's self, but of others. Children born tomorrow will vary in health conditions according to their sex. Whereas a boy will be weak and alling during his early years and, in spite of this, attain a normal major- ity, a girl will pass through the years of childhood with flying colors, but for a few years, be anemic and sily tired. n’ disposition and character, they will be very similar. They will bs studlous and restrained in thelr ac- tions; introspective and deliberate; painstaking and industrious. They will have great ambitions, and, even if they should not reach the goal they set out to conquor, will achleve more than if they had been satisfled with a lesser perspective. 1f tomorrow is your birthday, you are inclined to be moody, but more for personal, than for public, con- sumption. It is very difficult for you to ok on the bright side of things, and your attention seems permanently fixed on a gloomy outlook. You do not wait until you come to a bridge be- fore attempting a crossing. You visualize bridges where none do, or can, exist. You are determined, although, in vour case, determination is often an- other word for stubbornness. Your ever-present desire is to act on im- pulse, but a mirage of coming disaster and faflure always gets in the way, and you steer yourself around imagin- ary moats of dispair and castles of dire happenings. Capability and energy are your strongest assets, and, being demon- strative and v affectionate, your nature demands love and attention. Well known persons born on this date are: Allen B. Wilson, inventor; Helen Hunt Jackson, (“H. H.") author; Thomas B. Reed, Congressman and author; Harvey W. Wiley, chemist; Henry O. Havemever, merchant; Charles Scribner, publisher. ‘The mode remains plain in spite of flares, thereby serving as a neutral background for the well chosen neck- lace, purse, shoe, ete. With Fall and the discarding of one’s colorful clothes of the Summer- time season, it becomes the duty of accessorfes to injéct into costumes a certain dash and vivacity. And so the gally patterned silk handkerchief finds many uses. If you class yourself as the tallored type fold a particularly appealing one cravat-wise about your neck. If you are more feminine allow one to trall languidly from your purse and pocket, or peep from behind -the cuffs of your gauntlets. NARGETTE. Crab Meat Patties.

FEATUR High Collars in Smart Costumes BY MARY MARSHALL. After all has been done and all has been sald about the new Autumn clothes, there doesn’t seem to be so very,much that is new or different. ObServers seem to differ in their| summing of the new things, but they | all stress one thing, and that is the high neckline. You may not like it —if you are an American you prob- ably “do not—but the fact is that French fashions are most assuredly getting back to the high collar. You may not like to wear it, you may per- sonally find it very unbecoming, but after you have seen all the new bigh- collared frocks and blouses and jump- ers you will probably admit that there is something very smart about it. We Americans, they say, ask first whether a frock {s becoming; the French wom- an asks whether it is smart. Becom- Ingness s of secondary importance. Perhaps that is why the high collar has been adopted so much more gen- erally in France than in this coun- try. New and truly smart in appearance are the high-necked jumpers worn with tallored coats or jackets having the conventional coat collar. We had become so accustomed to the sight of a coat collar resting directly against a bare neck that we had forgotten how much smarter is the effect of a high collar worn beneath. Even with the frocks that are collarless there is a tendency now to e them fit closely at the back of the neck. Little by little the comfortable old bateau neckline that was low at the sides and back as well as at the front is passing off the stage of fashion. The sketch shows some of the in Little Benny BY LEE PAPE.
