WOMAN'S PAGE. Powder-Puff Pockets in Kerchiefs BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Vanity handkerchiefs are becoming more intrigning than ever in Paril One particularly smart novelty has doll in one corner, and in her pocket is HANDKERCHIEFS SHOW _ALL SORTS OF IRREGULAR EDGES, AND THE POWDER PUFF DOLL "5 KERCHIEF IS FASCINATING. tucked a fluffy swan's-down puff. The entire doll is made of appliqued pleces of linen or lawn, according to the ma- | ganei] terial used in the making of the ker- chief itself. The little lady Is a quaint personage, whose skirts may be so long and full that they completely con- ceal her feet! However, this makes it possible for the full flare of the skirt o give shape to the corner of the hand- kerchief in truly artistic fashion, quite in accord with the style for odd-shaped edges to handkerchiefs. The wee puff, when needed, can be taken from the pocket of the coy maiden, and when it has done its beautifying duty it can be slipped back into place again. Here is an idea for the woman who is deft with her needle. She camr make such & kerchief from dainty colored linens or lawns Be sure the pocket is wee enough not to be bulky and that the down looks like a fluff of feathers when it peeks from the pocket. An- other doll vanity kerchief has the girl dressed in modern style with the puff showing from her pocket. : Other Styles. A distinctive vanity kerchief has the pocket for the puff made to re- gemble a basket of flowers, from which protrudes a filmy bit of down that may be white or in some delicate shade of color. Or the basket may be mere- 1y made of patchwork applique and not hold a puff at all. Concerning Shapes. Irregular edges of handkerchiefs are being featured. The irregularities may be from cut-out green leaves forming the edge. Or flowers may be ‘ used as a border in thessame way. The shape is no longer confined to that of a square which was once necessary by court decree. Round handkerchiefs are quite the things to have. In fact, almost any shape that conforms to the right size for hand- kerchiefs seems to be considered cor- rect. Different Edges. Fdges are not only varied in con- tours, but may be finished in nu- merous ways. Lace, wide and narrow, ruffied and straight, 1s used, and foot- ing is fashionable. Sometimes the lace matches the color of the kerchief it- self and sometimes it is in contrast. Black footing is frequently seen, which is striking certainly. White Linen. But ‘with all the fancy styles there is a constant demand for white hand- kerchiefs of the highest grades. So choice is some of the embroidery done on these handkerchiefs and so ex- quisite the linen that the prices are as high as for models trimmed with real lace. By the way, the lace hand- kerchief is much more in evidence than for many years past. What Tomorrow Means to You BY MARY BLAKE. Pisces. Tomorrow's planetary aspects are variable and somewhat more than or- dinarily difficult to dlagnose. While, in the morning, the signs. denote ad- verse conditions, they brighten up at noon, only to become unfavorable a short time afterward, although there are, from time to time, glimpses of encouraging influences. The condf- tions justify a cautious attitude, and it would be a mistake, under such au- spices, to initiate any new task of sig- nificance, On the other hand, the in- fluences auguer a useful period for research and investigation. In the evening, the indications are that, if poise can be maintained, a fairly happy time can be had, and family or social reunions hold out hope of success. Children born tomorrow will, regard- less of sex, suffer from identical dis- abllities. These, however, will not be of such a serfous nature as to en- gender alarm or cause anxlety. They glve promise of outgrowing thelr in- knesses and attaining phys- Ical normaley. In character, the boy in his early years will be both will- ful and wayward, whereas the girl will be amenable, lovable and attractive. As time goes on, the boy will become self-respecting, tractable and indus- trious, whereas, the girl, losing some of her early charm, will possess a strong tinge of callousness and ac- quire habits and thoughts inspired by a sole consideration of her own self- Ish interests. If tomorrow is your birthday, you have a strong aversion for everything that savors of affectation or hypoc- risy. You firmly belleve in being your own natural self all the time, and this {s almost an obsession and im- pels you at times, in your anxlety to “be natural,” to be uncouth and rude, and forget those little priceless con- ventionaiities which go to make up one of the pleasures of existence. This is over-zealousness in a poor |p; cause, and. by yielding to such a con- dition you cease to “be natural,” and become just as abnormal as one who engages in excess, of affection. You possess a great fund of com- mon_sense, although this is not for- tified by much erudition. You can usually arrive at the crux of a prob- lem without any elaborate mental process, and almost invariably ‘“hit the nail on the head.” You are also alert and resourceful. Your blunt, downright methods often offend, how- ever, and cause failure, when greater suavity would attract and persuade (Copyright. 1928.)

Not every one would think of the delight- ful possibilities of using a screen as a scrapbook. However, the woman in this case had a rather nice collection of modern French fashion and flower prints and no adequate Way bf dis- playing their charms. So she had a screen’ built ‘of wall board on a light ‘wooden framework. The whole back- ground she painted robin’s egg blue and on it she pasted her prints. It 1s an intriguing arrangment, for it gives the room great individuality and it gives the proud collector a chance to gloat over her treasures at leisure. This same idea might be of use for many different collections, such as old maps, hunting prints, Currier and Ives lithographs, or even stamps. What Do You Know About It? Daily Sclence Six. 1.

Quinine. ‘When quinine was first given to the world as a cure for malaria the wise old graybeards, as usual, opposed it because it was something new. In spite of the fact that Louis XIV had been cured by quinine and the Em. peror of China, many people refused to believe in its value, just as they refused to believe in smallpox anti- toxin. This is what the doctors said against quinine, and it gives a good idea of the superstitious state of medicine 300 vears ago: “It does not evacuate the morbific matter, and it breeds obstructions in the viscera and only binds up the spirits and stops the paroxysms for a time and favors the translation of the peccant matter into the more noble art Now what do you know about that?

Of course, Sammy Jay was one Who did a great deal of the spreading of the news that Puma the Panther had come to the Green Forest. Sammy rather likes to carry bad news. Some folks are that way. It was Sammy who told the news to Prickly Porky the Porcupine. Prickly Porky was up in & hemlook tree, engaged in his favorite occupa- tion of eating bark. “Have you heard the news?” cried Sammy Jay. Prickly Porky didn't pay any atten- tion. He didn't even look at Sammy Jay. He just went right on chewing barl “I say, have you heard the news?” cried Sammy Jay n, screaming almost in Prickly Porky's face. Prickly Porky went right ¢n chewing bark. Not so much as & fiicker of interest appeared in his dull little eyes. It provoked Sammy Jay. Quite naturally, it provoked Sammy Jay. “All right,” eald he, “if you don’t want to know the news I'll not tell you. It's bad news. Anyway, that's what all the other people seemed to think. Perhaps if you knew what it was that bark wouldn't taste so You might lose your appetite.” Prickly Porky stopped chewing bark long enough to grunt, “There s noth- ing could take away my appetite.” “Fear could,” declared Sammy. “Huh!” grunted Prickly Porky. “I'm not afraid of anybody.” “Not even Puma the Panther?” de- manded Sammy Jay. The strip of bark, one end of which Prickly Porky was chewing, dropped from his mouth. Yes, sir, it did so. He stared at Sammy Jay with his mouth MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. One mother says: One of the best games I know of for a family where there are several children is played in this way: One person chooses any object he wishes, such as *‘chalr,” and then says, “I am thinking of a word that rhymes with ‘air’.”” Some one ventu “Can it be a large, shaggy animal And the person who is “it” has to think of what that s, and then answers, 0, it Is not bear.” Another may say, “Is it the place where this wild beast lives?” And the first an- sy , it is not lair.” So it goes on until some one asks the right ques- tion that is answered by “Yes,” it is chair,” and the turn passes to him. Even a four or five-year-old child soon gets the idea of the game, and it makes the wits of all sharpen, and provides fun for a long time. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS wide open. “Puma the Panther lin't in the Green Forest,” sald he at last. “Oh, isp’t he?” cried Sammy Jay. “Much you know about it! Puma the Panther is in the Green Forest.” “Have you seen him?” demanded Prickly Porky. Sammy nodded his head. “I certain- ly have,” said he. “I saw him this very morning.” “Right here in this Green Forest?” demanded Prickly Porky, and it sounded to Sammy Jay as if Prickly Porky’s teeth were chattering. n Sammy nodded. “Yes, sir,” sald 1S, “right here in this Green For- v /fl HEaot “HAVE YOU HEARD THE NEWS?" CRIED SAMMY JAY, est. Everybody else is scared half to death; that is, everybody but we birds. But, of course, we are not afraid of anybody. “No-0-0,” stammered Prickly Porky. ‘No-0-0, II-I'm not afraid of any- body. And then a queer thing happened. Bammy Juy blinked, to make sure that his eyes were not fooling him. Two or three of those little spears which Prickly Porky keeps hidden in ls coat had fallen, and they had fallen because Prickly Porky was shaking. Do you wonder that Sammy Jay blinked? Prickly Porky might not be afraid of anybody, but right that very minute he was shaking so that he had shaken some of those little spears out of his coat, and all because he, Sammy Jay, had said that Puma the Panther was in the Green Forest. Prickly Porky began to back down the tree. ‘“Where are you going?"” de- manded Sammy Jay. “It is no bunm!ot yours,” retort- ed Prickly Porky, “‘where I'm going. And 1f it's all the same to you, I wish you would tell nobody seen me this morning. Sammy Jay watched Prickly Porky shuffle out of sight. “He is afraid,” said Sammy Jay to himself. *“Prickly Porky is afrald of Puma the Pan- ther.” Goes not for things for which I yearn hat you have | SUB ROSA BY MIMIL Never B;apyenu. . ‘When we were kids we all looked forward in a vague sort of way to the time when we should be madly in love with our ideal hero. ‘We knew that we would experience all tije thrills and rapture enjoyed by young ladies in the better type of fic- tion. We didn't worry about it—we just knew that some day love would come into pur lives and shortly after that we would be married. Until that moment when we looked into the eyes of some one and felt the fatal spark within us, we would flirt aimlessly but happily. Isn't that what you all thought, too? You're all content to run along ha ing harmless crushes on harmiless youths, but you're really walting. Caroline "had the conventional ideas about real love, too. She talked glibly about her ideal mate and made plans for their future when she should meet him. Boys constantly asked her to marry them—and she flirted, half-promised, broke their hearts in a mild way and was forgotten by all of them in & few years. Time went by and Carol's ideal hadn’t shown up yet, although the other girls in her crowd were settling down all around her. 8he still had her admirers—some of them awfully nice boys, too. One of them in particular she was fond of—-just a nice boy, with no par- ticular talent or charm, but a great deal of love for the fair Caroline. She liked him awfully—but not in a sen- timental y. And true to her young dreams, she wouldn't consent to mar- rlage. She was determined that her real love affair should have all the romance and fire of an old-fashioned Dbest-seller. Marriage with her tried and true pal wasn't what she wanted. Caro- line, you see, was really doing the right thing as she saw it. She wasn't being obstinate—but she didn’t love this boy as she had expect- ed to love her husband, and, in ju tice to him and to herself, she couldn't marry him. She threw him over finally and walited. She’s middle-aged now, and she's still waiting. Don’t blame her. Don’t think she was vain or silly. She simply didn't understand herself. She didn't realize that after all the flirtations she’d engaged in—all the silly little crushes on which she'd e: pended so much time and affection she wasn't capable of the glowing, Im pitating dizzy emotion she had antici- pated all her life. She'd known so many boys, had so many good times, that she’d become overcritical in her search for the One Man. Her restless, dissatisfied mind wouldn't permit her to love any one the way she wanted to. But she might have found happiness with the boy she liked awfully. Are any of you bothered because you find yourselves fond of some one “_without feeling any- great, wonder- ful joy over the matter? Then ask yourselves whether it's because you're not deeply in love with the man in question—or whether you're capable of being deeply in love at all. (Copyright, 1926.) o Stuffed Tomatoes.

Uncharitable. The man with the very thin lips will not be found in philunthropic, « charitable or uplift work. He is natu rally a dollar-chaser and is not - al ways partlcular as to how he ac- quires the dollar or other worldly goods. He is the fellow who will de- . mand his pound of flesh without re- gard to the inconvenience or suffering of others. Lips, like every other part of the physiognomy, tell their own story. Thin, tightly closed lips indicate firm- ness, determination and self-control. You may be certain that the man with the thin upper lip will not only drive a sharp bargain, but he is ca pable of ruthleseness in combating an opponent, or in carrying out his busi ness plans, This type generally has the faculty of self-esteem well developed, and you will find that he is entirely intract able. e rarely, if ever, can be sul, control.
