WOMA Fancy Crocheted N'S PAGE and Knit Garters BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Crocheted garters are among the many attractive styles of hose sup- porters. They are simple to make, Wwork is rapid and cost is trifiing. So, ROUND GARTERS. CROCHETED OR_KNIT, ARE DAINTY ACC BORIES OF THE TOILET. /all things considered, they are excel- lent ateessories for the woman whe del in nice things that she can amake for herself. If preferred. the #arters can be knit instead of cro- cheted. In either stvie the work should he loose, so that there is enough stretch to conform to that of the elastic which is run through the tubing. For crocheeeted, open-mesh garters, make a chain twice the width wanted for the garter, and five stitches to allow for ‘the turning. Make ldc in fifth st from needle, then 2ch and 1dc in third st. This makes a filet mesh when continued to end of row. Repeat rows until the strip of work is the required length. Sew up length- wise edges with same medium used in crocheting. Through the tubs run a silk garter elastic of the same shade as the crocheted strip, or one that gives a pleasing contrast. Seam the ends. Draw the ends of the cro- cheted filet cover together and seam these also. s Smart Trimmings. Finish with a crocheted flower, with a button mold covered with silk the color of the elastic, and then a cro- cheted open-mesh top cover. Any preferred ornament suited to garter trimming may be used. A couple of buttons can serve, or one edged with val lace. A pompom can be made of the crochet silk for the crnament, or ribbon flowers, with a few lengths of narrow ribbon knotted at the tip, are in high favor. Feathers intro- duced in the ornament are smart. Knit Garters. A drop-stitch knitted garter is equall ttractive. Conceal the place where the strips- are sewed together in any one of the ways described for crocheted garters. If preferred, both the crocheted and knit silk gar- ters can be of close work, not open. ‘Then a cheaper elastic can be used, for it will be entirely hidden. The “give” of the crocheting or the knit- ting will be suffcient for the stretch- ing of the elastic and so extra length of either work will not he necessar Inexpensive to Make. Those who buy the dainty hand- made round garters realize the sav- ing there is in making these acces- sories. It is not unusual for them to cost several dgllars a pair, but they are' handmade, and all hand work brings a good price. This is righ for it takes skill to make dain articles. Handy Accessories. Round garters are in demand by those who do not wear corsets and miss the hose supporters attached. The round garters are sometimes worn ' with the corset or suspender ones to prevent stockings twisting. They are also desirahle when wearing negiiges, for then corsets are not apt to he worn and stockings need to be held up. The vogue of fancy round garters has heen given an impetus because of the short skirts. The ac- cessories may show, and théy must be as handsome as the rest of a woman's lingerie. 150 YEARS AGO TODAY Story of the U. S. A. . . BY JONATHAN A. RAWSO) Arnold at Willshorough. WILLSBOROUGH.

Anvway, these look like flowers to me." Reddy was still watching them when Graywing the Gull alighted on the rock just above him. “Now what have you found?” inquired Graywing. “‘Oh. nothing hut some flowers!"” re- plied Reddy, carelessly. “Flowers!” exclaimed ‘Gravwing, laoking all ahout everywhere but in the right direction. “I don't see any flowers."” “Oh, they're right down here in the water,” said Reddy, pointing to the little pool between the rock Graywing looked down. “Stil don’t see any flowers,” said he. “Are you joking me, Neighbor Fox?" “Certainly not,” replied Reddy. “I hope vou don't think 1 would he so impolite as to do such a thing as that.

Reddy happened to be looking at it at the time. In place of what appeared like a beautiful flower, there was just an unattractive, shapeless mass. Gray- wing had happened to be looking at the same one, and he caught the ex- pression on Reddy's face. “Now, what do you think of your flower, Neighbor Fox?" said he. “] don't think it is a flower at all,” declared Redd. ut it certainly did look like one.” “It isn't a flower,” said Graywing, “although it is called a Sea Anemone.

What Tomorrow Means to You BY MARY BLAKE. Tomorrow’s planetary aspects are variable. In the early hours and until about 11 a.m. they are adverse. Immediatély thereafter, they become favorable and actively so, and these beneficent conditions continue until about 5 p.m. They then revert to the adverse stage, although, at brief intervals, there will be sensed vibra- tions of a stimulating character. In a day marked by such diversity of influences there can be very little done along lines of constructive effort, and, if any such work should be con- sidered essential, it should be car- ried out between the hours of 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. It would be more adv able, however, to confine your atten- tion to routine dutles, and your chiet care should be to maintain, in the face of contrary inclination, general cheerfuiness of mind and considera- tlon for other:. Children born tomorrow will, in order to pass unscathed through the dangers of early infancy, require very careful nutrition and wholesome en- vironment, and on this more than on doctors’ remedies will depend to an unusual extent their latér physical development along normal lines. Their characters will be dominating and strong: their dispositions kindly and affectionate: their temperaments erratic and uncertain. They will al- ways be in evidence. Their ambi- tions will_be reasonable, but not exalted. Their ideals will be high and their progress through life will be marked by orderliness and con- servatism. If tomoyrow is vour birthday, you possess amiable disposition, with a desire to please and never to ofténd. You are naturally bright dnd witty, but although the temptation often presents itself to do so, you never in- tentionally say an unkind word or commit an uncharitable act. You are a pleasing conversationalist and enjoy the regard and sincere esteem of “your friends. Your adaptability enables you to mix freely ‘and con- genially with all classes, and change of environment never disturbs your equanimity. You are full of vitality and energy, and there is always ‘‘something doing” when you are around. If you could only devote the same amount of vim and “pep” to the prosecution of your own affairs that you do to the entertainment of your friends, vour sttcess would be immediate and sure. You are domestic, true-hearted and layal, and you are capable of a great and an enduring love. Well known persons born on_that date are: Lucretia Peabody Hale, author; Sumner I. Kimball, originator of life-saving service; Henry George, political economist: Fugene Field, journalist and poet; Henrietta Cros. man, actress; Hiram W. Johnson, Senator. (Covyricht. 1926.)

She will weigh every act, every word, in fine- balanced scales. Your round, narrow, pointed chin shows a very discriminating person. Often she is called “finicky” and over- particular. Her fancy paints ‘a beau ideal” and she will not be satisfied with the real men and women found in her social circle. She is ever wait- ing for her ‘prince charming” to come along, and. if he fails to come, your pointed-chin girl resists all 'wooers and becomes resigned to her fate. She decides, if she can't have the man she wants, then she will have none. > You remember your unwed village belle. She was beautiful and had many ardent suitors, but rejected all of them and lived her life in ‘“‘single blessed- ness.” It is almost certain that her chin was round, narrow and pointed.

Kashmir Shawls. If you have envied the possessors of these deeply fringed scarfs which the modern woman is draping over her shoulder again, vou will he in- terested in the object of your envy, the Kashmir shawl. These shawls are made from the finest woolen fab- rics which the world produces, and the real Kashmir shawls are made right in India in the State of Kash- mir. Kashmir shawls come in a variety of harmonious colorings. Most of them are in deep glowing shades, and especially adaptable for evening wear, These shawls fade slowly, but as they fade their colors become even more beautifully blended. As for the shawls themseives, they endure for generations. Many of the shawls you zee mow were handed down from great-great-grandmothers. # Sometimes Kashmir {s woven in fgures, but mostly you'll find shawls in plain colors. The shawls are made in many beautiful designe. One of the loveliest is the cone pattern, and another great favorite is the ring shawl. The latter is so soft and fine that it can be drawn through a small gold ring. These shawls, though they sre made of wool, are as soft and light as silk. It. you have an overflowing purse vou .may be tempted by the most heautiful of all the Kashmir shawls, those ¢overed with delicate and elab- orate embroidery. Even if you wish o spend enough money to buy one BEAUTY CHATS Artificial Beanty Aids. e are tricks in all trades, and lnTr:l:l:P more than the beauty trade. There are tricks to make a muddy skin look clear (though the result wl!l he goed for only a few ‘hours and won't atand sunlight at that), and tricks to make thin hair thick, and ugly nails pretty, and, in general. to make a non- descript woman of 40 into a blooming voung thing of 25. And why not? As long as the trick- ery isn't obvious, it only adds to the general attractiveness and pleasure of lite. ’ Here are some artificial aids: Liquid powder. I don't really ap- prove of it, because it dries the skin and certainly does it no good, but if vou huy a very good quality, and use it only very occasionally, and then only at night, when you are under a kindly artificial light, it will be all right. Tt will conceal patchy sunburn marks, freckles and certain surface of these shawls vou will probably have to hunt for it. Most of them are in the hands of interior decora- tors, collectors and the most exclu- sive women's shops. Many women have confused the word Kashmir with the word ‘“cash- mere.” Generally, we call the fab- rics made from the finest grade of the wool of the merino sheep raised in Spain, “‘cashmere.” This is incor- rect, but it is the general usage. Kashmir wool doesn’'t come from sheep. Tt's made from the short underwool of the goat, which lives in the mountains of Tibet. The under- wool is grayish white, and soft and silky as down. It's gathered as.it falls in the Spring, or the natives carefully remove it. So much for Kashmir wool. numbers in India, but the great famine there decreased the number of weavers to such an extent that few shawls have heen made since. In fact no shawle at all would he made except that the State of Kashmir must pay six shawls to the British government annuaMy. Kashmir wool, such as you find in the shawls, is worth over $20 a yard, S0 you may understand how easily the cost of a shawl mounts up. Few women today can afford the luxury of a Kashmir shawl, but those who can will find that their money is well invested because such a shawl! be- | comes a tamily treasure, and an heir- loom which ever increases in value.

Something else I don't really approve of, but sometimes use, for none of us do only the things we approve of. Varnish makes the nails pink and glossy, and saves a great deal of time using the polisher, and if a good quality is used the pfnk won't be too artificlal. It will be a little pinker than nature, perhaps, but then our clothes are so highly artificial that quite pink nalls, with a good deal of shine to them are only in keeping. Natural nails would look unnatural, just as a “natural” unpowdered nose would look odd.

I am always astounded at his variety and power, his wide rangeé of information, his human interest. Where did he get his training as a writer? Answer—Dickens served his ap- prenticeship to literature as a jour- nalist. Ple was for years a reporter of the proceedings of the House of Commons and I have seen the ivory tokén which admitted him to the press gallery there. The reports of that period, agccording to Gladstone, were fuller and more than those of Hansard. After the publication of “Pickwick Papers.” published when Dickens was 24, he awoke one morning to find. himself famous. His connection with the press was renewed when at 34 he became the editor of the Dally News. His voracious appetite for unique periences, his tireless industry, his cund imagination and his passion for humanity could not have found such an overwhelming outlet in his novels but for his career as a re- porter of police courts, Parliament, and whatever else came his way. In his Tater life he said half seriously that he believed he was still-the best shorthand writer in the world.

Consequently, T go to my work the first of the week, physically and mentally worn out. As a boy I spent mich time in the lofty’ mountains of the Far North- ‘west, and all the sermons I have ever heard have never done as much to teach me the divinity and majesty of God as did the stupendous mountains which are His own handiwork. It seems I am never so close to Him as when I am lost from the world among His rivers, hills and forests. You have in one of your previous answers stated that one should go to church. Do you not think it would be better for me to spend Saturdays and Sundays in the cathedral God built, which is the great outdoors, where I could rest and hear God preach as no sermon can, than to epend the time as I do? Grateful for the counsel you have given to me and to all youth, I shall await your answer.

These t 8 are just as sacred as anything you do in the sanetuary Your desk is. or should be, an altar and your business a holy calling. Yet there Is no sound reason why you should rush to the other ex- treme, and, having devoted your available energies to the church transfer them wholesale to nature. Why not hlend the ministries of life? Religion and_nature have splendid realities to offer you: hence, neither should be excluded from vour fellow- ship.
