WOMAN’S PAGE. Beaded Ties and Laces for Shoes BY Beaded slippers have heen in fash- fon for many long years, but beaded shoe laces are a novelty. They have been popular for just a short time, but MATCH THOSE ON A TIE COSTUME. the value of these little trimming motifs has been quickly appreciated. They dress up shoes without adding appreciably to the cost, and they can be used with old as well as new shoes, since shoe laces may be bought sepa- rately. These beaded shoe laces are in accord with the present fashion for fancy shoes that within the last few months has taken rapid strides. Never before have shoes been so ornate nor so diversified in style. Some of them border on the freakish, while others are so exquisite or so smart that they have a distinct appeal to woren who have become educated in the value of attractive footwea The beads used on shoe laces may be either the color of the shoes. the laces—if they are not identical—or be in contrast, or they m; match the costume. For example. tan shoes may have tan laces ‘that match and beads of the same color. Or the shoe laces may be a deeper shade of tan, with the beads to match the laces of the shoes, as preferred. Black shoes may have white laces or vice versa, and BEDTIME STORIE Graywing Hag His Way. ‘s to me a shame e in A name Reddy Fox Some I don't wonder Reddy feels about it.

The beads may match the laces or the shoes. Or the shoes can be’given a note of harmony with any costume with which they are worn by slipping beads to match on to the laces or ties of shoes. Laces, Ties, Bows, Etc. In speaking of laces, the word is used in its broadest sense to indicate ties, or ribbons which may be merely decorative bows, fastened to shoes without there being any lacing at all. The fashion for ribbon bows on shoes is revived, and this novel touch of | bead tips denotes an up-to-date style.} Laces or “ties” are not strings merely, but are wider generally and especially when ornamented with beads. The beads must therefore have good-sized holes through which to draw the laces. Adjusting the Beads. The beads can be held in position by i s means. They can be sewed fast after being slipped over the lace. They can be between knots taken in the ‘lace, or, wWhen the lace is extra wide and the bead stays in place well, the knot can be below the bead with- out any above. The bheads may form actual tips to the laces, or be up for an inch or so from the end. which is either knotted or allowed to flare. Tf the tip Is knotted, that will hold the bead in position. If the end flares it is apt to be fringed out, in which case the lace may be knotted to stop fur- there unraveling and thus hold on the bead above. Or the lace may be ‘wound tight with a thread ' that matches and the bead be sewed over ! the thread, or above it, if the tassel is to be accented. Sometimes real tas- are sewed to gathered tips of | As can be seen, there are all | sorts of ways of using the beads alone or in combination with-other decora- tive ideas.

They may not be propitious for the initiation of enter- prises of importance. They do, how- ever, denote a condition of mind more bemeficial for the emotions than for active endeavor. Routine work will lose some of its monotony under these influences, and such duties "will be accomplished with greater ease and zest than usually attends their dis- charge. It is an excellent opportunity for travel, either by land or sea, and also a promising occasion for mar. riage. Those who wed can look for- ward with every assurance of cer- tainty to a partnership of ever-in creasing happiness and contentment. Children born tomorrow will need more careful watching than nursing. In infancy this conditfon will first re- veal itself, and as they grow up the difficulty will be very much accen- tuated. They will show a marked oro- vensity to get into dangerous situa- tions, from which only quick action will enable them to escape. In dispo- sition they will be venturesome, and their curiosity will be illimitable. As they develop in age and mentality they will of course moderate their natural inclinations, and what may prove to be a liability in childhood may become a valuable asset in years of maturity. They will be inventive, rather than imitative. If tomorrow s your birthday, you are more of a dis- turbing factor than a quieting influ- Your temperament is tempes- tuous and volatile.

THERE is no greater foe to domestic peace and harmony than the critic on the hearth, and few, indeed, are the households that are not afflicted with one of these pests whose chirpings can never be silenced. Stevenson once said that “to marry is to domesticate the recording angel.” This is what only too many men and women find, to their horror, that they have inadvertently done. They took unto themselves husbands and wives in the fond belief that they were annexing admiring audiences that would give them the perpetual glad hand, and lo and behold, they discover that they have sold themselves into bondage to mentors and school mis- tresses and reformers. When John led Mayy to the altar, he never doubted that, in her eyes, he was a perfect pattern of all that » man should be, and that he realized her ideal in good looks, deportment, jndgment, wit and wisdom, as embodied in a member of the masculine sex. Jidge, then, of his dismay when he dis- covers along about the time ‘that the koneymoon begins to wane that instead | of regarding him as a model she apparently considers him an awful warning. | Everything he does and does not do is wrong. She finds fault with his every act. She criticizes his taste and tells him that his clothes are either too loud or too somber; that the style of tis coat shows how hump-shouldered he is getting, or that the cut of his frovsers emphasizes the fact that he is a trifle bowlegged, and that the way he wears his hair brings out the weak- ness of his chin. She spoils his dinners by correcting his table manners, and takes the punch and pep out of his best story by setting him right about the pronunciation of a word in the midst of it, e ND Mary is in the same boat. When she intrusted her young life into John's hands she never dreamed that she was also committing to his care her toflettes, her complexion, her habiis, her grammar, her general likes and dislikes, ' She’ never doubted that he considred her only a little less perfect than the angels, but to her consternation she finds that he appears to look upon her as the world's greatest combination of faults and weaknesses. He never notices her dress except to tell her that it is 10 years too voung for her, or the color of it makes her look like a salaratus biscuit, or that it shows up her fat. He sneers at her opinion and derides her judgment. economies and lambasts her extravagances. He knocks her housekeeping, and accusses her of being either an aj xlous mother or a neglectful one. 1t is literally true that criticism forms the staple of conversation in the average household and that most men and women would never find out what poor, miserable creatures they are if they had not married. Many a husband and wife, listening to his or her daily dozen, is filled not so much ith a sense of his or her own unworthiness as with wonder at why on earth his or her spouse picked out for a life partner one of whom he or she o thoroughly disapproves. Now, possibly, it is good for our.souls for us to be constantly humiliated and reminded of our shortcomings, but it is not a pleasant experience, and the one who does it has a losing office. We do not love the hand that smites us, nor do we yvearn for the voice that corrects us and that calls our attention to our mistakes and blunders. | Being flayed alive is no more paiaful a process than having our vanity and self-esteem torn from us, and to expect us to cleave to the one who does it is as foolish as to expect a victim voluntarily to seek the society of the torturer. e e OBODY loves a critic. Nobody en’oys being criticized. Nobody's idea of a happy evening is sitting up lis ening to some one reciting the litany of his or her faults. The main reason *-hy there is so little family life is that 80 many homes are merely a place fur the exchange of criticisms. and the inmates flee from them to strangers who spread the salve instead of pour- ing salt on raw places. Criticism is a dangerous pastime wherever it is indulged in, but it is always a fatal sport when married p-ople take a hand in the game. For while we smart under the knowledge ‘hat others see us the mere, ordinary, commonplace. uninteresting individua s that we are, we cannot endure to | know that our own husbands and wives also think us dull and stupid, and homely and boring. The thing that enabies us to endure the strictures of the outside world is the belief that the men and womea we married are blind to our faults, that to them we are beautiful, that they never see our fat or find our com- pany tedious. And when this illusion is destroved. when it is our husbands and wives who harp continually on our faults snd are silent about our virtues, then marriage becomes a failure. The thin: that made it worth while, the glory and circling wings are gone, and all t:e remainder is martyrdom Believe me, husbands and wives. marriage is not a place for fault-finding or telling home truths. It is a place wvhere jollying should do its great and perfect work. No man or woman*ma-ries to be reformed or elevated or im- proved. We marry to be loved and aporeciated So don’t be a critic on your hear h unless you want to drive your hus- band or wife away from it with vour ~hirping. DOROTHY DIX (Copyriz . 1926.)
