If you're the golden-haired darling of a large and devoted famlly, you're a very lucky girl in one way. There's nothing more satisfying and comfort- ing in the world than the knowledge that no matter what blows you may receive from the rest of the world, one group at home thinks you're the world's best. But the girl who depends too much on her loving family’s support is apt to get a severe chill when she ven- tures out into the thing we call the “social whirl.” Helene ‘was one of those fortunate kids, and had a large and adoring family from the minute she arrived on earth. They were none of them very good looking or clever, o when Helene ar- rived with her lovely golden hair, they united in praising the great beauty who had come to make the family happy. Then at school Helene did pretty well. She got better marks than most of the older brothers and sisters had been able to achieve. She did nothing really extraordi- nary, but her fond parents and other relatives were hugely impressed with her every action. In this way she arrived at her 17th year with the conviction that she was beautiful, talented, witty and, oh, so charming. It wasn't her fault, you see. She had it dinned into her ears so long that she was perfect riot, she sim- ply awaited the coming of social suc- cess with all the confidence in the world, On the night of her first big dance, mother and sister and the boys came in and raved ecstatically over the slim, green dance froc “Good Lord, youwll have a wonder- ful time,” sighed Doris, ber sister. “You're just made to be popular.” And when Helene arrived at the big Jig she never even noticed how much more sophisticated and charming the other girls looked. She never realized that she looked rather homemade and dolly beside the smart young things who were old- timers at these dances. She took an awful beating that night as the dreary evening wore on, and no one cut in—no one asked to see her again—no one but her suffer- ing partner even knew she was there. Still the conceit which her loved ones had planted in her mind refused to die. She went through several painful years trying to make herself believe They should be made a little smaller than the tops of the tables, showing an edge of the handsome mahogany or other fine wood. These rugs should be in artistic blends of silk rags, in- troducing, if possible, the tones of the color schemes of rooms mixed with sufficient neutral colors to make them exquisite in shade tonings as well as in_softness of texture. Little rag rugs to be used as such on floors of doll houses are gifts to be greeted with glee by little girls who Many Variatior Before telling of color schemes or sizes of these diminutive rugs let me mention u few uses to which they can he put, then colors appropriate to uses : nd sizes will be in , there are braid- hot dishes. A set would naturally be either in cotton rags v white knitting cot- or that the outside world didn’t appreci- ate real beauty and wit and charm. Then she finally came down off her high horse and strove desperately to learn how to be smart and clever and bright, just like all the other girls she met when she went out. It’s unwise to rely on the love-blind- ed eyes of adoring familie~ for clear vision as to our true worth.

THE DIARY OF A NEW FATHER BY ROBERF CHBUNDAY AFTERNOON, 1 flld get married with the jdea of being the tyrant of my home, and I didn’t cry myself to sleep at night when I found the real boss didn’t even care for suggestions from her assist- ant, but I must admit I never ex- penled to be as far down in the list as No. 6 in the houzo where 1 pay the bills. Joan is No. 1, mturl.lly, and_ her grandmother and my mother share places No. 2 and No. 8, and Hilda, tho hired girl, and the baby are 4 and 6, and I am the little guy at the end of the line. My mother and Joan's ndmother reach town on schedule Friday night, and when we arrived at the apart- ment Joan had the baby dressed for a fine large welcome, and her grand- ‘mother, before saying a word to any- body, dived at him and put a penny in his hand. Tl brag this much about the kid— | he took it. T sald, “Ah, a lady magnate,” and T asked her what the idea was. She said, “Put money in a mnew baby’s hand and he will never be, without I said, “‘He caught on right money. away. Now try him with a $10 bill.” | Well, Saturday and today have been perfect as as meals are concerned. | Joan's grandmother is a wonder in the kitchen, and my mother puts to- =ether the best pastry I have ever ! met, g0 1 am being treated like some- | body of importance at the table. But otherwise, 1 don’t count at all. The three of them talk baby by the hour, but they haven't room for a word from me. I call them Conserva- tive, Liberal and Radical, because every time the baby is fed Joan's grandmother says she doesn’t think modern notions about feeding are any good, and my mother says well, she doesn't' know for sure, and Joan says modern methods are perfect. I suppose the trouble will begin after a few days. Right now the three of them have been together so short a time that they still have some respect for one another. They are feeling like hostess and guests; not like relatives—yet. Banana Cake; Jelly Sauce. Peel four bananas and scrape them and cut_in halves lengthwise and across. Mix one cupful of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, onefourth teaspoonful of salt, three- fourths cup- ful of milk and one egg.

A PUZZLED man asks me, “What is the difference between a coquette and a filrt In the dictlonary of woman’s ways it is this: A coquette is & coquette because she was born that way and can't help it. A flirt is a fiirt with deliberate intention and malice aforethought. A coquette is the amateur of fascination; a flirt is the skilled professional. The coquette means no harm, while there i no harm that the flirt does not mean. The coquette asks from man but a handful of compliments and a few attentions, but mothing but his heart’s blood and his soul satisfies the flirt. The_difference between these charmers is the same as between nature and art, between thoughtlessness and cruelty, between heedlessness of possible pain to another and a heartlessness which finds diversion in watching another’s suffering. There is a certain type of woman who turns as irresistibly toward every man who crosses her path as the sunflower turns to the sun. She lives for men and their smiles. It is absolutely necessary to her happiress to attract men and to have their approval. It really does not make much difference who the man is or what his estate. He may be young and handsome, a Prince Charming. He may be old or ugly, decrepit and humble. He is a man, therefore he must notice her and give to her the tribute of at least an admiring glance whether he be President of the United States or the janitor of the flat where she lives. Her instinctive impulse is to propitiate and win his admiration. This kind of woman begins rolling her eyes at the doctor when she is in her cradie and she keeps it up until the undertaker puts her in her coffin with the remark, “She must have been a fine swwvoman in her day" As a little girl with pigtails, she languished at little boys when the other little girls were fighting with them. As a schoolgirl she pretended to be & “fraid-cat” so that some youth would take carc of her. As a young lady she was a Sentimental Susan. As a married woman she fepls neglected if her husband is not always telling her that he thinks her the most beautiful creature on earth and that he Is still madly in love with her. As an elderly woman she is always talking about romance and teasing herself about callow youths and senile grandpas. . e SUC" a woman always ogles, smirks and smiles at men because it is her nature to do so. She can't buy a beefsteak at the butcher's without making a sentimental transaction of it, nor pay her fare on the street car without giving the nickel as if it were a love token to the conductor. She would praetice her arts and wiles upon a tailor's dummy i€ there were no ‘men around. This is the coquette, pure and simple. She is generally pure and always simple. Her bid for the admiration of men is as artless as a child's. She onli' wants to please and be pleased, and her smiles are wholesale instead of retail The coquette is a genial, agreeable companion whom many men like, but few break their hearts over, and unsophisticated, indeed, must the man be who does not read her as a book. ‘With the flirt it is far different, and while there is only one kind of coquette, there are many varieties of flirt. All of them, however, have one trait in common: that whereas the coquette plays the love game for the sake of the game, the flirt plays it for “keep: ‘The coquette is satisfled with the surface admiration of men; the flirt wants much more than that. She wants the individual, personal, passionate devotion of one selected victim. She does not hunt in crowds as the coquette does, she singles out her man and pursues him “to the death.” She does not waste her smiles on mankind in general. She gives them to some one man in her skilled way, which raises mm w ‘hr‘ seventh heaven. 'HE flirt is not all things to all men, she is everything to one man. She studies his taste and fathoms his interests. She probes his ambition and she transforms herself, as only a woman can, into his ideal. If he is religious, she becomes a devotee. If he is athletic, she goes in for sports. If he is fond of good cooking, he finds her in a white apron working over an electric grill. If he is a book lover, she steeps herself in an atmosphere of literature. She flirts ever before him the figure of his desire, stimulating his wit with her own, piquing his interest, fanning the fires of his admiration, stirring his ambition, pouring oil on his vanity, using every wile of seduction until she has taken possession of him, heart, soul and brain, and then—— “Mr. Smithkins! I am so surprised that you have taken my friendly interest in you for something more serfous. I am sure I have never given vou any reason to take me so serfously. Oh, no, it is quite impossible! I do not feel that way toward you and I am perfectly sure my feelings will never change,” ete. The flirt has no further interest in him. She has bagged her game and there is no more sport where he is concerned, so she starts out, snares all set, for a new victim. ) There is indeed a great difference, son, between the coquette and the fitrt. The coquette you will recognize at sight; the flirt you will know only after she has your scalp—and then it is too late. DOROTHY DIX. . (Copyright. 1926.)
