WOMAN’S PAGE. 'zIndi)idual Christmas Card Tables BL A glinipse of the home fireside with its suggestion of the Yule log is appropri- E ate for a Christmas card, LYDIA T E BARON WALKER. BY MIMI A while ago we discussed the folly of giving yourself away by confessing to little fibs and deceits which don't amuse the men as much as they ought to. There's another method of giving ourselves away. We can give the boy friends a pretty accurate estimate of our characters by letting them see what amuses us. I mean, we may very. often relate a story which seems to us hilariously funny but which leaves our listeners | cold because they're concerned more with the moral principle involved than the humor. For instance, Natalie squeals excitedly to Edmund: “Oh, I've had the most exciting afterncon! You remember Shirley, | don’t vou? She used to be such a riot, and then she married just a quiét, smalltown man and settled down way out in the country? “Well, she’s bored to death with married life now, and today she came in town and called me up, saying she was just dying for a real party. So I got some boys to take us to tea. “We had a wonderful time—Shiriey ! was a_perfect scream. She fell aw- fully hard for one of the boys and they're golng out togetber tonight. Her husband would be wild, but she doesn't care. Says she needs a | change. Tsn't it funny?” | Edmund was no stralghtlaced youth from the backwoods. He was extremely modern in most ways, but he vaguely planned to marry Natalie at some future date, and it made him vaguely uneasy to hear how lightly she chattered of Shirley’s cheating. e wasn't at all shocked. But | neither was_he amused. Dimly he sensed that Nat must approve of Shir- ‘ley’s attitude or she wouldn't spend much time_with her. It worried him. Then Natalle had another line of talk—all about the marvelous drink- ing party she went on last night. Of course, she always hastened to explain, she didn’t touch a thing her- self, but some of the girls were So funny when they'd had too much.

Natalie shrieks with laughter as she relates these sparkling, witty, tales, but Edmund isn't always so respon- sive. Edmund is beginning to wonder now what flaw in Natalie makes her appreciate these antics which don't seem at all amusing to him. He doesn’t mind her being tolerant of other people’s foolishness, but he's alarmed at the thought ‘that as she finds this sort of thing so delightful, 3 art off on those lines something of your very own, to see, not in imagination, but pictorially, either the fine entrance to your home, the quaint staircase. the corner of a room, some especlally fine bit of pot- tery that graces your living room, or | some rare pieces of your collection, whatever it is—clocks, glassware, bask pitchers, ceramics of any sort, etc, Sometimes a lone vase dis- tinguished by beauty of line wind curve i3 depicted on the end of a! table, bare except for a single rose Iving on ft, and backed b hanging.

Self-Rising ' DECEMBER 2, 1926 Why Bobbed Hair Ages the Middle-Aged Woman. Should an Engaged Girl Separated From Her Fiance Give Up Having Dates? EAR MISS DIX: I am a woman of 45, and am thinking of having my hair bobbed. Do you think it makes a woman look younger to have her hair bobbed? FAT AND FORTY. Answer: Bobbing the hair is purely a_matter of taste, and, as the old proverb tells us, there is no arguing about that. but there is no disputing the fact that it makes a middle-aged woman look 10 or 15 years oker. The reason for this is so obvious that it is a marvel that every woman does not see it for herself. To begin with, it brings into undue prominence and focuses your gaze upon a woman's neck, and a woman's neck is where age sets its seal first, 1t's in the rolis of fat that form on the back of her neck, or the scrawny tendons that leap into prominenee in her throat, that a woman’'s age is recorded. These might be more or less camouflaged by her arrangement of long hair, but her shaved neck proc!aims them from afar. Also, when a middle-aged woman bobs her hair, she commits a fatal folly because she institutes a comparison betWeen herself and the flapper. The boyish hob is the exclusive prerogative of sweet 0. slim, thin, flat little figure; a peachesand-cream complexion, eves. And when fat old grandma brings her grizzled gray locks in competi tion with her, it makes you realize what an awful thing time does to women. You wouldn't have noticed it if grandma had had enough sense to keep her hair on. It calls for hining voung Bobbed hair may be all that fts advocates claim for it.
