WQMAN’S PAGE Parasols Embroidered With Birds BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. he latest Paristan fancy in para- is to have them embroidered or nciled with birds. It looks exactly if_the birds had fluttered down in humming birds sip the honey from flowers I was gathering in the gar- den. Small as they are these little birds seem fearless. I am sure many of you have had similar experiences. The fashion mentioned is for birds embroidered in heavy wools or in raffia on the Parisian parasols. If you prefer to do the embroidery your- self, especially If it is not easy to find the parasol of this sort, where you are, vou can do it without much trouble. You can buy a transfer. de- sign of bird motifs and stamp them on any plain silk-covered parasol. Follow the directions for embroider- ing that come with the patteru. As the work will be done when the sun- shade is open the silk will be stretched as if in an embroidery frame. Adapting Designs. Another method that is excellent for the embroidery, is to pick out some handsome bird design in a print- ed linen, a cretonne or wallpaper and use thix as the design. There many handsome bird fabri equally beautiful bird papers. these the colors will be indicated and | the tones should be copied in the wool or raffia_embroidery. Do not trust to Jur memory In getting the embroid- ery mediums, but take the fabric or paper bird to the store and match the colors as closely as possible, Cloth birds can be cut out and basted in pictorial positions on the parasol and the embroidery be done over the appliqued design. Or the birds can be placed in position with transfer paper beneath and the de- sign be transferred and the work done directly on the sunshade. Birds In Outline. If you prefer less work, the bird de- sign can be trunsferred to the parasol described and the outlines only be done in wools or raffia. If the outline work is heavy and the lines marking wings, tail, head, beak, etc., are plain- Iv_worked, this form of embroidery is effective, though, of course, the re. sults cannot be as handsome as the sulid embroidery work. Raffia Network Covers. Another faney in these French par- asols is to have a network of raffia completely cover the silk of the par- asol. Tt is caught all around the edges and down the ‘The color may be black or raffi, or be shaded in exquisite tones. The network radiates from the tip of the parasol over which the center of the work is fastened and is then stretched to the tips of the spokes before being fastened to the edses and spokes as mentioned.

Surely, my old friend John, if my life was to be made a sacrifice, there was a more gentlemanlike way of doing it than of being sent into a country to be fired at from behind a barn or stone fence.

Today's hostess seeks for a happy informality when she arranges her luncheon table—and the result Is thoroughly delightful. The cold con- ventionality of white table linen, gold- banded china and plain white ware has given way to the charming use of color which so pervades today’s home-making modes, The dishes shown here are of Amer- ican porcelain, having a mellow cream- colored ground and flower decoratidns in red, buttercup, vellow, rich blue and green. The tablecloth is barred in pale green, and the quaintly shaped tumblers are Dutch feronese ware in rich blue tints. The cosmos which fills the bowl in the center of the table is defiantly pink and white. The ladder-back chairs add their bit. They are painted black, with decalco- mania decorations which echo the gay colors of the china. Macaroni Salad. When you tire of green salads, try this: Into bolling water which has been salted to taste, cook two cupsful of macaroni. When tender drain well and cool. Add one-half cupful of chopped pimentos, one-half cupful of chopped celery and one hard-boiled egg chopped fine. Stir into the maca- roni and add mayonnaise to taste. Put in the ice box at least one hour before serving. Serve on lettuce leaves,and place a strip of pimento on top.

PICKLES BOTTLED PICKLES—CANNED PICKLES Gives Acid Tests for Genuine Product How to Tell Real Live IDo.rothyDix If He Thinks of Her Happiness First, if He Loves Her Mind as Much as Her Looks, if He Yearns to Work for Her, He's in Love. YOUNG man wants to know by what infallible signs he can tell when he is really genuinely in love—when he has a case of incurable heart complaint and when he is merely afflicted with a passing fancy from which he will be completely recovered within the week. Alas, son, you have asked the riddle of the ages that nobody to answer. For the symptoms in the fatal attack and the spoi precisely the same. been able dlc case are In both you have the same gone feeling. the same hectic fever, the same thrills and palpitations, the same delusions that make you see an ordinary, commonplace girl as a pin-feathered angel; and in both you have the same delirfous desire to babble {rrational nonsense to her. When you are first smitten down by this malady there is no earthly way to tell whether it is love or loveitis. Yet on a man's ability to diagnose his own case correctly depends much more than life or death. -His happiness and that of the woman are at stake. 5 In matrimony, son, it is not so important for you to pick qut the ideal girl or even the girl who is most suited to you as it is for you to be head over heels in love with her. In the days of courtship we are alwiys asking the party part: “Do you love me?” If we were wiser we would not waste our breath or the query. Instead we should spend our time with our fingers on our own pulses and our thermometers on our own hearts, asking ourselves: “Do I really love this man, or this woman?" v of the other | For if we love enough it does not matter much who or what the beloved one is. If we love enough we never see the other's faults. If we love enough we never grow weary of the other one. If we love enough we never cease to | thrill at the touch of the adored hand or the glance of belfved eyes. But when our own love fails, not all the charms, not all the fascinations, not all the virtues or all the beauty in the world can raise one single throb in our brea When we ourselves cease to love, the game is played out, the r mance over, the curtain is down and all the remainder is cinders, ashes and dust. i I HEREFORE, don't worry so much over whether the girl loves you a: whether you love the girl, for a man starts out in matrimony with vir tually all of the available supply of domestic affection that he is ever going to have, and he needs a pretty big drawing account, of it to stand the drafts that matrimony makes upon it. ¢ So, study vour own heart well. son, and begin by testing vour love and finding out whether it is of the senses or of the soul. For if it be of the senses it will be a quick, fierce fire of tinder that will burn itself out swiftly and leave vour hearthstone cold and desolate. But if it be of the soul it will be a sacred flame, miraculously fed from on high, that will burn as long as you live. The reason why there are so many uncongenial marriages is that so many people mistake physical attraction for deathless affection, and when pas- sion is dead all is dead between them Another test of love is congeniality. A poet has said: “Unless you can musel in a crowd all day on an absent face that has fixed you, then never s: you love. Nonsense! The acid test of love is not absence but presence. It | enough to be romantic and weave halos around a girl who is far a the question is, How does she affect you when she is at vour side? Have you thelmnn;;l:n‘t’m;em. nd tastes? Do you enjoy the same things? Are you two souls w! ut a single thought, or do you find yourselves fighting ¢ o sorts of trival things? £ & S R If you are always arguing and quarreling, even thouzh you always k and make up, you have only the surface attraction of opposites that is brittle as glass and that will not last longer than the honeymoon. But if you have a deep and abiding peace and joy in each other's society, if you think alike and see eve to eve, then you may be very sure that your feeling is the genuine blown-in-the-hottle love and no substitute. act to the girl's conversa- s ANOTHER test of love is to find out how vou r tion.
