It took courage to say those words, even though they brought her a sense of Treedom, for, after all, how could she 1o sure that nerve alone would bring her the things she most desired? It was one thing to say “I'm through, T won't_keep on with this drudgery nother day,” but it was quite another thing to go forth single-handed and wrest from the hard-hearted world cverything that she wanted. Rosalind walked to the window and rstood for a moment looking out over the roofs of the city. The city was magical, but its immensity was terri- fxing, it was alluring, even while it repelled. Tonight it seemed like an open-mouthed monster waiting to de- vour her, and she was frightened be- cnuse of the words she had spoken. But she had said them and she had neant what she said. There was no going back now. The thought had been waiting in the ! of Rosal s mind ever since Dorothy King had left to be married. Dorothy had worked in the office with Rosalind. She was pretty in the pert way, and her blond hair was really lovely. But she was a flutter-brain, with nothing to her but her pretty face.

Meantime the fad for new and ex- quisite choes has been carried to dev- astating extremes in some quarte: Paris shoemakers, they say, are driv imost _distracted over the rapidity with which one fashion In footwear is succeeded by another. A French woman remarked recently that unless one's shoes are ab: =o' if the French woman ifford it she has her shoes made to order so that they can fit perfectly, and then wiilin spends the hours needed to have fittings and fittings mtil she feels t shoes are as near perfection shoes can possibly be. Rut to our American eyes these “absolutely right” French shoes might not seem quite so Tight as our own that we have bought without much difficulty all ready made. Always, seemingly, the French taste in matters of shoes is just a little different from our own. At present a shorter more rounded last is worn by smart Pa ristans than would appeal to most Il-dressed Americans. (Coprright. 1025.) My Neighbor Says: To set the color in any cotton materfal add a handful of salt and two tablespoons of turpen tine to three-fourths of a pail of hot water. Allow the goods to remain_in the water until it is cold. This will set colors per- manently and neither sun nor washing will fade them after- ward.

A very fine grade of sandpaper is required. When this sed with care the effect is mag , and there is no in- jury to the materfal.

She had told the rest of the girls in the office that he was easy, and that she intended to marry him. They had laughed and called her crazy. Things like that happened only in plays or books. And vet Dorothy had made good her boast, and no matter what the Richards thought about it they had been forced to accept her. Rosalind had remembered the flip- pant advice Dorothy had given the girls in the office: fake up your mind to marry a man, and no matter how much he re- sists you, you'll get him in the end.” There had been more of that kind of advice as well. Flippant remarks about love being easily dispensed with. “You won’t miss it if you have plenty of money,” Dorothy had said pertly. “Love is the bunk. My sis- ter married for love, and she and her husband are at each other’s throats most of the time because he doesn’t make enough money to live decently.’ These things came back to Rosalind s she stood by the window in rhe building. At the time she had paid very little attention 1o .hem, and yet they had stuck in her mind, for now she was remembering every- thing. It was quite obvious that her own rebellion had dated from the time of Dorothy's marriage and yet there was more to it than that. It was the ceaseless routine coupled ! with the knowledge that she was mak- ing little or no progress that had stabbed daily at her consciousness. One day was just llke another. At 7:30 each morning she was out of bed. It took her half an hour to dress, and at 8 she was sitting down to break- fast. At 8:30 she walking toward the subway and at exactly 20 min- utes of 9 she was boarding an ex- press train so as to arrive at the office promptly at 9. It was the same in the evening, and at night there were countless things to do, the apartment to be tidied, lingerie to wash, stock- ings to be mended. Rosalind wouldn't have minded if she had had something to look forward to, some goal in sight. But the eternal sameness of it stirred her to rebellion. (Copyright. 1925.)

Style is an indefinable something that i3 hard to describe. It seems to be the knack of wearing clothes grace- fully and smartly with a certain per- sonal touch. A woman to have real style raust have not only a gool idea of color but a knowledge of what is appropriate in clothes. She may be In very moderate circumstances, and yes by choosing instinctively what is suit- able in design and color she will be well dressed. So many beautiful women have little or no style, while others who are posi- tively ugly carry themselves and wear lothes with such smartness that ¢ are always attractive. 1 Know girl—a featured actress—with a nice fixure and a really lovely f: who never looks chic, no matter wi she has on. She spends a great deal of money, and yet apparently lacks the abllity to choose dresses and hats which harmonize in line and color with her particular type of beauty, and, subconsclously realizing thls, she fails to carry herself with any dash at all. With a little advice and much less money, she might be as well turned out as any girl in town. As has been said so often, smart- ness doesn’t mean expensive clothes, because today, with our miraculous speed of production, a frock shown in « Fifth avenue window with any spe- cial feature of line—say, a collar that is cut a little differently or a cuff that is tied instead of buttoned—can be duplicated within a week and sold for 1 fraction of what the original dress cost. Knowledge of color and propor- tion, if not natural, certainly can be acquired. In all the women's maga zines there are pages and pages on this subject, written by women who really know' their job. A girl should study her face and her figure care- tully, so that Mary with the broad cheek bones won't be carried away by a too tight turban and Sally fall for a dress with all the stripes running the wrong way. Above all, avold being overdressed. No matter how much you love bright colors—and we all do—don't wear them except on appropriate occasions Once a woman realizes that she is smartly and becomingly dressed, she will carry herself with a certain ai of distinction, and the effect is sure to be chic. COLOR CUT-OUT COSETTE'S CHRISTMAS. An Unusual Purchase. During dinner at the inn, Cosette took our her knitting, and crouching in her usual corner, worked away while the two pretty stepsisters played with their doll. The stranger ob- served her closely all this time, and then said to the stepmother: “What is the little one doing?" “She is knitting stockings for my daughters,” the woman answered. 'Would you sell me the stockings for three francs?” asked the stranger. This was a good price for them, so the landlady consented. When he had pald her the money, he turned to Cosette and said, “Play, little one, you need not finish knitting the stock- ings. * Kk % & Cosette's other stepsister is wearing gray stockings and & lavender slip.

Who does not recognize he hearty, good-natured laugh of the whole-souled person? We are also quick to judge the giggling, tittering augh as belonging to those of a rivolous and shallow nature. There- tore we attribute certain traits of haracter to the tones and qualities of a laugh. In meeting a person the first time, especially a woman, watch for the laugh, for there is a wealth of mean- ‘ng to be found it it. The soft, well- modulated tones of laughter indicate hat the person is refined. Low, nusical, flute-like notes are charac- eristic of the refined woman. She loes not have to repress laughter; it s natural, and there is music in the tones. Individuality is evidenced by laugh- er as truly as by sveech, for who -annot differentiate between the laugh of a friend and that of an enemy. A rearty laugh denotes a kindly disposi- lon, while that of a pessimist is cyn- cal, sneering, sarcastic. In ! it s everything but charming. | Burchell’s Making the Most of Your Looks BY DOROTE Dear Ann: Edith has one of those beaded tunic evening dresses, and she has never liked it on herself. It is black, and she wears it over a green silk slip. Well, of course, Edith is slightly ehort and stout, so naturally the dress, with its contrasting slip extending below the tunte, made her look more so, £0 to speak. I suggested @ black slip which she now uses, and likes her dress heaps. Yours for making changes, LETITIA (Copyright. 1925.) For the Christmas Zoo. Those funny noises son iz making are for his toy tiger, which you cap tured for him among a jungle of | alsles, sales clerks and holiday crowds. That 0dd old tiger lives for son, and | he alternately gives him pleasure and | pleasant terrors. Stuffed animals come in all sizes for the toy zoo. They may range in size from eight inches to five feet long, in all widths and heights. Thes« stuffed representatives of the animal kingdom are made chiefly of silk hair, plush, felt and cotton cloth, and are filled with wool, cotton, excelslor, or made on frames. In the zoo are horses that neigh, cows that moo, goats that buck, dogs that bark, cats that blink, and even grizzly bears with kind faces. Every child wants at some time or other a bear “like the one in the story.” For- tunately, bears are made in all sizes so that son’s request can be satisfled without exhausting the bank account. Silk hair will be found chiefly used to reproduce the effect of the hair of French poodles anl Angora cats. Eng- lish toy animals are usually made of plush, which has its advantages. It can be cleaned and combed when dry s0 that the animal will look quite fresh again. Many domestic animals are made of English plush, such as bears of all kinds, monkeys, dogs and 1Y STOTE. 1 pelt bhears. papler dogs and kin, because nything else is ooden or mache fr ; b as horses, are ma it wears better Anim: of is aused mals which are given rough use. Cotton and kapok, a ve ctable fiber, are used in smaller toys. Bedtime (oys are made of cotton cloth because it won't bruise or scratch, and the faces of the animals are painted with waterproof colors. Toy animals should be brushed daily, because they gather dust and dirt. If the animal has fur, brush with the fur, not against it, to keep it neat and fresh. Any fairly stiff brush will do. It's pretty fmportant to see that mice don‘t gnaw at toy ani mals, because they are germ carriers In Summer moth balls should be packed with the animals. If an ani mal loses an eye or one of his limbs is unjointed, a doll hospital will make repair: There’s no finer fun for voungsters than to play with a stuffed animal.

Tomorrow planetary aspects are quite different from those that prevail today, and are declidedly favorable, and only become slightly overcast to- ward the latter part of the evening, when, in the majority of cases, “the day's work {s done.” It is an un- usually auspicious occasion for the initiation of any fresh endeavor, for work of a constructive character, and as a result of the stimulating vibra- tions, is propitious for putting love to the test, as the benign conditions that are present will provoke a responsive- ness that might be lacking at other less favorable times. It is also a good opportunity for change, or travel. Children born tomorrow will be normally healthy during infancy, and the few minor ailments to which they will be subjected need cause neither worry nor anxiety. In character and disposition they will be very different. Whereas, a girl will be vivacious, merry, unrestrained and demonstra- tive, a boy will be taciturn, reserved, and rarely, if ever, make any display of affection. They will both, however, be alert and quick, as well as anxious to learn, while, at the same time, they will both be anxious to excel in recrea- tions and sports. If tomorrow is your birthday, you possess a very affectionate disposition, have generous impulses, and are very kind-hearted. You are not capable of hurting intentionally another’s feel- ings, and will “put up” with a great deal before the limit of your patience and forbearance is reached. Your lack of pugnaciousness and aggressive- ness often induces others to think you are easy-going. This is, to a certain extent, true, but vour tolerance has limits, although you are willing to go a long way—farther than others would —to insure peace and harmon: Your social tendencles are very clearly marked, and you possess a keen sense of humor, which s, at once, a joy and pleasure to your many friends. Your vivacity is generally the life of any party in which you participate, and your energy never flags. You are, in spite of the humil- ity of your character, independent, and, when the occasion demands it, authoritative. Your wishes, inasmuch as they are expressed oniy at long intervals, are usually respected, and every one in your immediate circle realizes that you mean what you say, although your peace-loving proclivities often preclude you from saying what you mean. Your home life should be very! happy, and completely free from ail dissension and strife. Well known persons born on that date are: John S. Phelps, congress- man and governor; Josiah B. Grinnell, congressman; John S. Newberry, paleontologist; Hezekinh Butterworth, editor and author; Opie P. Read, jour- nalist and author: Bainbridge Colby, former Secretary of State.

How often do we stop to remember that foods should be interesting to the body as well as to the mind? The various organs of the digestive system may not in a literal sense be endowec th reasoning powers, but the fac remalns that the stomach is no more interested in dry foods than i the mind in ‘d cts!

Iy does the presence of a reason hle amount of moisture add lite; to the food value, but it also hel |and gentral attractiveness. When cooking foods in water use soft water, if possible. When hard water is used there will be a deposit of lime on the sides of the utensil, a sure sign that the food will be less satisfactorily cooked. As is generally known, the tempers ture at which water bolls is 212 de- grees F., and any increase of tem- perature beyond this point is used to convert the excess of moisture into steam. Any one who is directly con- cerned with the preparation of food will do well to study the possibilities of conserving the valuable salts in vegetables and some fruits that are ordinarily lost in cooking. It has been established that steaming is by far the most economical method of pre- paring such foods. Bolling is apt to be teful, as the mineral matter is frequently lost when the excess of water is thrown away after cooking. Steaming, on the other hand, improves both flavor and mineral content.
