In fact, black covers are cor- rect for any metal fabric frock or one with metal trimming. Black helps | keep the metal bright and untarnish- ed. Pink cheesecloth covers are gay Blue covers are best for white silk or cloth garments. The blue helps pre- vent the white from yellowing. Gift Sets. Let me suggest that a set of three such garment covers, one black, one blue and one of any color you like, makes a nice Christmas gift for a woman. The: biack is right for black garments as well as for metal cloth. ‘The cases should be folded into neat square shape and tied with gay tape before being wrapped in tissue paper and tied with ribbon. If you cover three coat hangers and suspend a small sachet bag from each and send with the covers the gift will be, com- plete and quite different from the ordi- nary. If you like, one hanger, cov- ered with a thin silk or silk muslin case will be de luxe as a present. Be sure to put in the sachet bag. MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST. Sliced Peaches. Hominy with Cream.

HEN the clergyman says the words that make John and Mary husband and wife, their respective families wipe away a furtive tear and pray Heaven that this may be one of the marriages that stick, and that will not require a divorce lawyer to perform & major surgical operation upon it within the next five years. Then, having petitioned for a miracle, they go home and do their best to prevent its taking place, for it is sadly true that the greatest danger that threatens newlyweds is not from without, but from within, and that, if the real cause were named in 9 divorce cases out of 10 it would be the family. Especially mother, who is generally the head of the home-wrecking crew. Of course, mother doesn't deliberately start forth to make a breach between her children and their husbands and wives, or to shatter their domestic peace and happiness, but she does it just the same. It doesn’t alter the results that her sins against her children are made blunderingly, ignorantly, stupidly, through love and not through hate.

What u doing for yours? bands and w being first aid to the divorce court? re Straight Hair. Straight hair has so much charm of its own that I often wonder why so many women go to endless trouble and expense and finally ruin the health of their hair in order to have a wave. If vour hair doesn't curl naturally try varlous straight hair styles until you find one that suits you! You are sure, eventually, to hit upon something more becoming than even the softest of artificial waves. It you wear your hair bobbed the problem is easy. Suppose vou have thin, wispy hair—have a modified shingle in the back and have the edges trimmed so that the outside part is shorter than the part against the scalp. This makes the head ap- pear rounder and the hair apparent- aly twice as thick. Or suppose you have hair that goes oily easily, then have an Eton crop, where fluffine is not an asset, and the gloss of of hair becoming.

Arousing Anger, Not Interest. Very, often we see a girl who in her effort to arouse interest and admira- tion in the men she knows adopts some little method which has just the opposite effect. & Vivian is an example. She has a fairly good time, but she isn’t exactly popular. The boys: are inclined to ignore her when there are more shining stars around. And Vivian tries very hard to keep them by her side—keep them all keyed up and en- thusiastic about her. She's read somewhere that men like girls who pique their curiosity—who are not too open and aboveboard— | whose characters cannot be read at a glance. And this she takes to mean that she ought to wrap herself in a shroud of mystery. So that when some youth inquires casually: “What have you been doing with yourself lately?” she answers him evasively, looks rather mysterlous, murmurs: “Oh, so many things I can't possibly tell ‘you about.” At which he prob- ably says to himself, “Well, who cares, anyway?” and forgets it. Vivian, however, thinks she has made a dent. So a little later. while she’s engaged in telling him a story, she interrupts herself to say: “Oh, but I forgot. I mustn't tell you that. You'd never believe me, anyway. There are so many things about me you don’t understand.” Well, if there's one thing in the world more annoying than others it's having a story broken off in the middle with the tantalizing little speech: “I can't tell you any more.” It's enough to annoy anybody. It seldom fails to annoy a young boy. Her other Ereat trick Is often more unpleasant. When a group of four or five are gathered together she sud- dently remarks to one of the girls present: “Oh my dear, do you remem- ber the other night? Will you ever forget what Tommy said to me? Wasn't he a scream?” This leaves everybody else out of the picture. They can only stand there and look foolish while Vivian giggles and assures them that she would love to tell them but she can't possibly. She promised not to. The other girl is probably bored and annoyed, too, bit she's too polite to e openly rude to friend Vivian. Vivian's fault isn't serious. But it makes her an uncomfortable person 0 be with. You don't feel at ease with some- one who suddenly goes into fits of laughter over something she can't possibly tell you. She ‘makes her companion uneasy, resentful. He suspects her of laugh- ing at him. Her constant allusions to mysteri- ous events, of which he knows nothing, make him' feel an outsider. One of the first principles of in- teresting a man is to make him feel at_ease—comfortable of some impor- tance. If you destroy that feeling, no matter how mysterious you make yourself, you'll lose the man. He won't stay long with anybody who makes him feel awkward and un- comfortable.
