The first harbinger of cheer is at hand when the settia flaunts from florists’ windows. ome reckon them as artificial flowers, but that is because they come from the tropics and so are hot- house beauties. We decorate the house with spruce boughs, too, and spruce in this climate 15 nearly as alien as poinsettia. View 15 as a glorious splash of scar- let in a wealth of deep true green, the poinsettia may claim its place in the YVuletide color scheme and the Yuletide gavety. Why not a bit of the sunny tropics now, to cheer us fn the short days of the yvear, when clouds lower and the lazy sun goes early to bed and rises lui Break off a bit of leaf or stem of the poinsettia plant. A generous fountain of its milky juice pours out and so tells us that the poinsettia is & member of the great spurge fam ily, glory of the tropics, that us rubber. Doubtless the juice of our little house pet could be found to contain _some rubber, too, though not_perhaps of any genuine valie. And look a second time at what ap- pears to be the scarlet petals. Are they not really leaves? And when your eve wan s to the “flowers,” these resolve themselves into tiny, 0dd organs, almost unrecognizable. In such stranze zuises does the spurge | family display itself But truly to appreciate the poin settia it should be seen in its opulent native setting, as it grows in Florida, where they call it ‘“scarlet parrot flower."

MOTHERS ND THEIR CHILDR Jam-Covered Faces. One Mother says: Our little girl i very fond of bread and butter and jam. It seemed to me that her little face and dress received more jam than her mouth. To elimi- nate this, I spread the slice of bread , then cut it into tiny and placed a few at a time on tray. It saves me many launderings of her frocks and is more Pear Compote. Peel and core three good-sized pears and cut them in pieces. Put them in a saucepan with one tablespoonful of ed current jelly, one cupful of grape uice and one tablespoonful of sugar, and cook slowly until tender.

Cream one cupful of sugar and one-half a cupful of butter. Add one cupful of sour milk and two cupfuls of flour sifted, and one teaspoonful of soda, one-half a teaspoonful of cloves, one teaspoonful of cinnamon one-half a teaspoonful of grated nutmeg. Last of all, add ore cupful of floured raisins. Nut meats may be added if liked. Mix all together and pour into a deep, long and narrow tin well greased. Bake in a moderate oven. This is a delicious cake for luncheon. THE _EVEN COLOR CUT-OUT RUMPELSTILTSKEN.

This time the king was delighted, but more greedy than ever. So he took the maiden to a still larger heap of straw, and pointing to it said: “All this must be spun into this very night. If you do it. shall be my queen.” the girl This is the dress which the miller's daughter wore for every day. It is red with a black bodice, and her hat is red with black streamers. (Copyright, 192 NUMEROLOGY BY NEYSA McMEIN. Your Birth Number. Almost the most important thing in numerology is your birth number, because it tells you what you are and what you are capable of. The num ber of your name tells what you can do, or how you can best express your- self, anid that is called your destiny number. In other words, the birth number is the measure of your force and intensity; and your desting ber shows how this force can plied. All numbers do not vibrate harmoniously with all other numbers, 1t is, therefore, highly important that the name or destiny number be in harmony with the birth num- ber. In naming children, for fn- stance, this principle is too often overlooked for a strong, vigorous birth number may be unbalanced and even seriously impaired in value by a weak or inharmonious name nuni- ber. The birth number digit that results when month and day of birth For example, the birth responding to the date October 1893, is found as follows: 1898 year=1+8+9-+8=26 (246)... 14th “day=1+4 ... October—the the number or the year, are added. number cor- 14, S 1 10th month=(140 14 Birth number, then, is 14 reduced to its simplest digit of (1-+4)=5. The characters of the nine digits are summarized briefly as follow One—A strong, active, creative num- ber, but_ self-centered and of limited vision. Logical and daring, it is often domineering and inclined to disregard the rights of others. Two—A more feminine, receptive number. It is peaceloving, even-tem- pered and kind, has charm and affec- tion, but is apt to lack initiative and efficiency. Three—This is the number influenc- ing the fine arts, especially acting, writing, singing, dancing and painting, Its characteristics are pleasure and good cheer. It is the joyful number. Four—A heavy physical number, in- dicating creative power and tenacit in its undeveloped state it is apt to be pugnacious, coarse and material. Five—Both a material and spiritual number. Bestows soclal and personal attractions on its bearer. A vacillating number, lacking _“stick-to-tiveness. Has great charm but no great depth. It is fickle and changeable. Six—Like number 2, it is peace-lov- ing and gentle. It is the number of marriage. Its influence in art, philan- thropy and inspriation is strong and varied. A number of trust and con- fidence, repose and comfort. Seven—Denotes self-satisfaction and poise. It is a dark, mysterious but conservative number, not a number favorable to mew enterprises, or one likely to bestow glory or renown. It is the number of the mystic and reli- glonist. 5 Eight—This is the number of men- tality, of science and of business achievement. Tt denotes accomplish- ment or attainment. Nine—The strongest and most high- 1y developed of numbers, denoting abi ity to face the circumstances of daily life. It is the number of love, both universal and personel. It denotes integrity, virtue and permanency.

AR MISS DIX: I have been engaged for 18 months to a young man whom 1 love and who laves me very dearly. We are very anxlous to marry and would do so, except that he has no steady job. IHe works off and on two or three duys a week, but I have a steady Job as a stenographer. Now, Miss Dix, my mother i3 & widow. who has her own home and we could go to live with her. That would be just the same as having our own home, wouldn't it? Shall we marry and go to live with my mother? We are going to do just you say. M. F w. Answer: If you take my advice you will on no account get married until the young man has regular work every day in the week, which will enable him to support u family It jsn’'t necessary for a young couple to have riches before they marr but it is absolutely necessary for them to have a decent assured living. It is eternally true that love flies out of the window when poverty comes in at the door, If the poverty is of that grinding kind that means hunger and cold and shabbiness and torturing fear of the future. You can't think about the stute of your heart when your stomach is crying out for food. You can't be tender and loving when you are worried to death to know where the next meal is coming from and where you are to find a roof to cover your head. And no man who is worthy of a woman's love can be happy if he is dependent and grafting his living and that of his family off his wite's people He will know that he ls cutting & despicable fizure In the eyes of every one who knows him, and his shame and his anger al himself will turn upon those who help him and make him hate them and revile them. I have seen this happen a thousand times, my dear. Never yet have I seen a dependent son-in-law who treated his mother-in-law Wwith even common politeness. Invariably he was like a snarling dog who bit the hand that fed ft. tha vour mother's home would be the same as your home if That is not true. Your mother’s home is her own home, and Wwhen you marry yvou forfeit your right to it.

I urge you not to marry this Young man, no matter how much you love him, until he can make a living for you.

EAR DOROTHY DIX: What do you think of shiftless and slovenly wivi There are any number of steady, hard-working men who never eat off a clean table or sleep in a clean bed because their wives are too lazy to ralse a hand. These women bring children into the world who are never cared for and who must carry the memory of their miserable, neglected childhood as long as they live, Poverty does mot create dirt, but dirt and shiftlessness create poverty, and lazy women cause more misery in a tumily than drunken ness. If women were all good and clean men would be the same ROBERT F. Answer: 1 have long said, Robert, that what was sauce for the gander is sauce for the goore, and that inasmuch as the law compels a man to support his wife, it should compel the wife to make a clean and comfortable home for her hus! nd.

LADY OF THE SNOW Answer: The average man is quite capable of Iooking after his own interests, So you have no cause to worry about any danger of hurting his hard-boiled heart. ; Of course, it is a dishonorable thing for a woman to make a man believe that she Intends to marry him when she has no idea whatever of doing so and to let him spend his money upon her in the pursuit of a hopeless case. Evidently vou have not done that, so your conscience is clear I think that many women exaggerate men's sentimentality, anyway. There are many men who do not desire to marry. They do not want to burden themselves with a family, and yet they like feminine society and to take a pretty and attractive woman around. In such cases a woman makes ample return for any courtesies the man shows her by being pleasant and agreeable. Platonic friendship in the past has been a myth, but in these days of self-supporting women who do not themselves desire to marry it has become a pleasant reality. DOROTHY DIX.

They are strongly affirmative, and very favorable. Al though they counsel the energetic prosecution of any task based on con- structive effort, they are exceptionally auspicious for all undertakings re- lated to land or mining. There will be sensed a pirit of courage, self- confidence and hope. Even though the plans you put into execution may not materialize as quickly or as effi- clently as you had hoped, you will not experience any desire to “let up,” but, on the other hand, will persevere until the goal be reached.
