We all know the value of always | looking our best—very few girls to- day overlook the importance of using | every means to achieve an attractive appearance. We all know that if we have nice |eves, we oukht o show them up by the color of our clothes, by the helght- ened flush of our cheeks, etc. But how many of us realize that if we have bad eyes—we ought to keep the fact from people just as much as possible—we should not call atten- tion to our blemishes, whatever they may be, with such remarks as: “Oh, of course, my eves are so ugly no amount of touching them up will help!” or “My eves are so small and rrow for the rest of my face—I an't ever make them look nice.” | Girls are always to be heard mak- | ing those criticisms of themselves. They think that in admitting their weaknesses or disfigurements thus frankly they are sort of walving re- sponsibility for them. They believe that such slams at themselves show other people thelr lack of conceit. But it's a dreadfully bad habit— that of calling attention to physical peculiarities—for it | you more than silence would. Think—if you had a bad ink stain on your nicest rug, you wouldn't point to it when visitors were present with the comment, “That rug is hopeless now, since it's been rulned by that dreadful mark - You'd very carefully have a chair over it—or you'd have it moved where the spot wouldn't show. Then why in the world should you tell a group of your friends that you won't wear a certain type of dress be cause your neck is so long and thin? If you had any sense you'd just re frain from wearing that sort of dress, and it wouldn't be necessary for you to tell any one your reasons for so do ing. You can perfectly well conceal the fuct of a long, scraggy neck with all sorts of devices—such as scarfs and furs and tulle in the evenings People may never have noticed that your arms were a trifle too large above the elbow—but perhaps you exclaim in the hearing of a half dozen people at some dance: “Oh, no evening dress will ever look good on me with these enormous arms! I wish I knew of something to reduce them.” You will always be remembered as the girl with the fat arms Once you draw people’s attention to the fact that vou're disfigured in <ome way. they'll always notice that defect in_ You more than anything else. Your self-derogatory comments serve to emburrass your listeners and make yourself less attractive in their eyes.

Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Nervous Children. It is not infrequent that parents are aware that their children are nerv- ous and at the same time they do nothing to improve that condition. They realize that the child is thin and . sleeps poorly, is disobedi- ent: lacks interest in school work, tends to be quarrelsome and irritable, and vet while they say, “He is a nerv: ous child,” they do not feel themselves in any way responsible for the con- dition. The nervous child should have more than usual attention paid to the up- bullding of his physical health. He should not be treated as the ordinary child. He should have long hours of sieep; the most wholesome and nour- ishing food: be saved from useless ir- ritations and his body given a chance to grow strong, so that the fatigue | which is responsible for his lack of interest in school work and his quar- relsomeness will be overcome. Children of this highly nervous type may grow into useful citizens, more than ordinarfly gifted—or they may hecome nervous wrecks. It lies largely with home environment. If the parents find that no matter how svmpathetic they appear to be they themselves have no control over the child and insufficient control over themselves as guardians for the child, it would be infinitely better to put the child under the care of some disin- terested but understanding person who could handle him or her better. Senti- mentality about the home relation is valueless at this time, as frequently it has been found that to entirely change the environment of the very nervous child and to put him in other hands is sufficient to start him on the road to perfect health. = Peas in Bread Cases.

Tomorrow’s planetary aspects are much more clearly defined than those of today, and, while ‘they indicate an unsettled condition in the afternoon, they are, on the whole, favorable, especially for enterprise that is re |lated, no matter how Indirectly, to |financial or real estate project: Speculation and risk must, however, be voided, and success can only be | achieved where careful, conservative thought has worked out a satisfactory plan. In the afternoon there will be a brief reactionary period, which in its influences will be rather unsatis- tying and prove to create disappoint- ment. The feelings thereby engen- dered must be resolutely stilled and inexorably stifled. In the late after- noon and evening the atmosphere will be charged with affection and love. It is, therefore, an auspiclous occasion for telling “the old, old story,” the one that never loses any of its charm by frequent repetition. A child born tomorrow is destined, according to the signs, to be troubled with a variety of ailments during the infantile period. Proper nutrition, and wholesome environment, will mitigate the evils of these attacks, and enable the subject thereof to attain a healthy maturity. The tempera- ment of such a child will be free from peevishness or quereulousness, and its disposition will_be winsome, compel- lingly aitractive, and sympathetic. It will be readily amenable to good in- fluences and pleasant surrounding: and, unlike most children, will sho some appreciation of what is done for it. It promises to be ambitious and in- dustrious. If tomorrow is your birthday, your nature is inherently unassuming and no one who knows you well would ever accuse you of being either con- ceited or bombastic. You are quiet and unobstrusive, and yet accomplish more than those who are always talk- ing of their successes, most of which are futuristic in character. You are winsome and bright, and have a big heart that is always ready to respond to any cause deserving of assistance, and that never is heedless of any SOS. | You are very fond of amusement, but your chief delight is in giving nleasure and enjoyment to others. You never permit vour recreations to interfere with anything of greater im- portance. You learn very readily, and possess a clean-cut judgment. Your memory is retentive, and you have the happy knack of being able to impart informa- tion to others. ‘Well known persons born on_this date are: Fabius Stanly, naval officer; Bernard J. McQuaid, R.

Our Children—By Angelo Patri Santa Claus. Santa Claus is coming. Sweep clean the hearth and open the chimney and let him come prancing, reindeer and sled and pack and snow. . What would childhood be without Santa? No, I'm not a bit afraid of deceiv- ing children by telling them the jolly old saint is on the way. I've told them the broomstick is prancing steed which will carry them up to the clouds where the sun children froMc. I've told them the fairies the tops of toad stools; I've shown them the enchanted frog asleep under his stone, waiting for the princess to kiss him. And it's been such fun. And it never cost me the faith of a child yet. Rather it brought it to me. Y So for me and my house we will cheer for Santa. Now the thing to do is to get ready for him: help the old fellow a bit. He has a great deal to do and every year there is some- thing left undone. The world is so full of children nobody could ever keep up. So the idea is to turn to and help the old fellow a little. Buying things to put in his pack | isn't so good. He likes them much better, they fit into his pack so much better, if one makes them oneself. Christmas cards can be made by the children themselves and they will mean far more to everybody. Then, making Christmas cakes. Of course there will be ginger bread men and horses and the children must be allowed to dip the feet of men and horses in chocolate and to put on pink icing wherever it fits and to plant currant eves and buttons where they will do the most good. There must be surprises planned. What sort of a Santa could come without whisperings behind cupped hands, smothered giggles behind un- suspecting backs, smothered longings to tell, dutifully surpressed until the right hour on Christmas morning! Whatever Christmas may mean to you, whether joy or sorrow, it means unadulterated joy to the children. Whatever of weariness the day’s prep- aration may hold for you, it holds rothing but excited anticipation for | the gleeful children. Give them their | day with all its trimmings. from tree |to” turkey, so that in the vears to | come the memory of their Christmas | day may carry them through what- | ever memory of pain the day may | bring through the years. | It is not possible for us who have | grown gray with time’s dust, not to have memories that stir a smothered aching now and then. It is all the | more reason, then, that we put our- selves entirely in the spirit of child- I hood and, pushing back the years, live once again as a child with chil- | aren. So, call old Santa on the telephone land give him yvour address.

When cold, add flour enough to give it a creamy con- | sistency, then stir in one-half a tea- spoonful of powdered rosin and one- fourth teaspoon of powdered cloves Boil the mixture until it becomes smooth.
