S8MART PARISIAN SCARFS OF FI FLOWERS AND GREE) There are many attractive articles Buitable for Christmas gifts that can Be made from scraps of ribhon or bits of silk artistically combined. Requests have come in for ideas for such arti- cles, and so I am giving several today avith little individual touches to supply novelty. A square of silk or ribhon with the corners turned to meet in the center and all seams felled but one, makes a delightful raveling holder for a nee dlewoman. The beauty of this case, because of its simplicity, depends upon the quality of the ribhon. Press the case to make a perfect square when completed. If the ribbhon is plain the woman’s initials may be made in one of the triangular sections, or some ‘wee flowers worked to resemble woven Becoration or hanikerchief embroider: Such an article is just a little remem- brance, scarcely more than a Christ- mas card. It can be slipped into an envelope with a line of greeting. These little cases make good novelties for tables at bazaars. Ash Receivers. Strips of ribbon 2% or 3 inches wide, with weights sewed into the ends, ornamented with ribbon flowers and having dainty metal ash receivers ‘blued or otherwise fastened to the mid- dle of the ribbon. form de luxe ap- pointments for smokers. These ash ¢ receivers are used over chair arm: The weights hold the tray balanced securely. Card Motifs on Request. Silk or ribbon pieces can he made into card motifs to trim black satin (or, sateen) card table covers. Or cases 0 hold one or more packs of cards can be fashioned from silk or ribbon and have the motifs embroidered in cross- stitch on the outside. A set of these card motifs with directions for mak- ing them in filet or cross-stitch can be had free if a request sentrme.is. accompanied by a self-addreseed - and stamped envelope Basket Patchwork. Pieces of silk or ribbon can be used to make sofa cughion covers. “Though.

It can he made of three-inch squares cut to form tri- angles. The background should be of similar toned triangles so that the basket stands out distinctly. This can be made with one piece of silk or rib- | bon forming the basket and another the curved handle. Or one triangle can form the bottom of the basket, two the second row, three the third, ete., with background patches between each trlangular basket patch. The curveq handle, sewed onto the back- groynd patches, can be made in sev- eral sections sewed together to form the correct curve. Flower Trimming. : Circles of bright-toned ribbon sewed to ends of scarfs make fascinating trimming. especially when interspersed with green ribbon cut into leaf-shaped pleces. . Several different colors may be employed for the flowers and vari- ous shades of green for leaves. French knots of yellow aré used for centers of blossoms. Fell down edges of motifs neatly or blanket-stitch them down. Bureau scarfs and table covers, bags and sofa cushions, etc., may be o ornamented. Sewing Accessories. Sewing kits of many kinds ang sizes can he made from ribhon. Fiat ones are usefyl to slip into handbags, and those that consist of a roll &# wool wadding covered with ribbon (wifh con- trasting ribbon ends) for pins, agd hav- ing a length of rihbon for the needle book are staple. There should be leaves of flannel or wool fabric in the needle hook. The diversity of these needle and pin cases defies deseription or even mention of styles ins so lim- ited a space as this article..” Ever) woman knows of some shapes and also of small sewing bag Kkits that eAnbe made from ribhon. A note of distinction on cases is struck if, in lace’nf the usual tie strings or snap lastenings, are substituted a few tiny ribhon flowers with green ribbon re- sembling wisps of grass for tie strings. BEDTIME STORIE BY THORNTON W. BURGESS Jack Frost Finds Johnny. It 1 were vou. I think I wouldn't Attempt fo do the thing I shouldn't. —-Jack Frosi - Johnny Chuck and Poltx Chuck were still trying to keep awake. But at last Polly Chuck gave it up. I just can’t do it, Johnny.” said she. “I'm 0 sleepy that my eyves are just full af sticks all the time. Yes, sir, they're full of sticks all the time. If you want to stay up, you're welcome to. It is perfectly good weather and all that, but I never was awake as late in the geason as this before, and T just know that if T don't go to sleep pretty soon something will happen to me." Polly sat up for a last look around “I'VE_SEEN ALL OF T h TER I WANT TO SEE,” HE DE- CLARED. Then she turned and went down inside into the long hallway that led to the enug bedroom where she had made herself a warm bed of soft grass. It was way below where Jack Frost could possibly reach But Johnny Chuck is obstinate. Yes. sir, he ie an obstinate fellow. He had made up hie mind he was going to keep awake, and he would keep awake. He wouldn't admit that he was uncomfortable, though of course he was. You see. he was just as sleepy as Po There were just as many sticks in_his eves as in hers. But he hadn’t Polly’s wisdom and he wouldn't give in as she had given in. So for a few days after Polly Chuck had gone to bed Johnny eame up and The human race is funny With hurried pompous ways — 1 could sit in railroad stations And watch the for days.

Johnny might have fooled others, but he | couldn’t fool himself. He was sleepy !'and he was lonesome, and that is all there was to it. Then one night Jack Frost arrived. He had been a long time getting there, but when he got there he left no doubt in any one's mind that he had ar- rived. He came in the night. Johnny was asleep. He knew nothing about the coming of Jack Frost. Johnny was in the habit of sleeping late morn- Ings now. He slept rather later than usual this morning. When at last he did awake he had a feeling in his bones that something was different. He didn’t know what it was, but some- thing was different, Grumbling to himself, he slowly crept up the long hall to the doorway. He poked his head out. Then he gasped. Jack Frost and Rough Brother North Wind were lying in walt for him there. They tweaked his nose and they pinched his ears until his eves were filled with tears, | Johnny gasped again. Something had happened to his world. Something | had happened to the: Green Meadows and the Old Orchard and the Green Forest. Everything was white. Yes, 8ir, evervthing was white.

SUB ROSA BY MIML Molly has the complaining habit She contracted it at an early age, and she’s never taken any pains to rid_herself of the dread disease. ‘When she was in school she whined loudly to her mother that the teach- ers were unfair, showed favoritism, were always plotting against her, etc. She was a bright scholar and she got along well. There was no partic- ular need for her to crab, but that strong love of setting up a howl caused her to exaggerate a bit in her accounts of what she had to endure at_school. When she made a sorority, she was Jjubilant for a while. She almost for- ®ot to be peevish. But when pepole congratulated her just a bit too much she lowered her voice in a confidential chisper and remarked: ‘“‘Well, frank- ¥, I'm not as overjoyed as I might be. Some of the girls in the sorority have been awfully mean to me. I'm made to feel like an outsider in a great many wi I'm not thorough- Iy _happy. I have reasons.” She'd have had a fit if anything had been done to oust her from the sorority, of which she complained more and more as time went on. But that fatal streak in her nature just wouldn't let her admit her satis- faction and contentment to the world —she had to have her little dig. When other girls said she was the luckiest thing in the world to have such a wonderfully good sport for & mother, Molly admitted it, but added with a sigh that there were a great many faults in mother which made her very hard to live with. After her mother's death, Molly went to stay with relatives—an aunt and uncle, who showered every kind- ness upon her. Molly accepted their ministrations gratefully, but to her friends she con- fided that it took all her tact and courage to keep peace with Uncle Ben and Aunt Mgrgaret. She used sometimes to remark that she didn’t know but what she'd have to move to another home, life was being made so unbearable for her. Ot course marriage wrought no change in our Molly. Within three weeks after the happy event, while congratulations were still pouring in, she had a private little story of her own about Dave’s lack of considera- tlon for her, etc. Molly’s particular allment doesn't endear her to her friends. It drives them away, for it shows her lack of loyalty. Instead of covering up whatever there is in her family and dearest friends which ought to be cancealed from a curious world, she goes about informing every one of faults and peculiarities which no one suspected. She is incapable of true gratitude. Even while she is thanking a bene- factor for some kindness done, she is mentally rehearsing a tiny grievance which must be repeated later to some sympathetic listener. “She has killed the affection of her doting aunt and uncle. Her- friends are uneasy in her presence, knowing that her loyalty is not strong enough to shield them from criticism should occasion arise. And her attitude toward her husban Will not insure their permanent hap- | piness. The complaining habit shows self- ishnese and disloyalty ‘and ingrati- tude. Don't let yourself get it.

He had promised Nina that he would stop off at Denver on his re- turn trip, but the more he thought about it, the more he decided against it.

He wanted to see Nina again. - The memory of that night in the Garden of the Gods quickened his blood to fever heat. He wanted to hold her in his arms again. He wanted to tell her that he loved her and to ask her to marry him. There was so much romance con- nected with her. The few things she had told him had sunk deep into his imagination. He would make her THE SPIDER WOMAN ' BY HAZEL II)EYII B.

The way she had said, “You'll come back And then, “You do care, just a little. : : But it..would be wise not to go back to Denver. before he had.seen Helena. . Helena was his wife. He owed her consideration, and now that he thought back he realized that from the beginning of their marriage he had shown her very little. There had been times when he had felt that she . suspected the truth. After all, she was a clever woman, and he had been very indifferent. He wondered i she would be very much cut up over the break. He hoped not. He couldn’t bear .to hurt her. And so he wrote to Nina and tald her that his plans had changed. “I'll have to go back to New York before I see you again, but I'l} return to Denver just as soon as I can. Don't forget me, will you? And thank you again- for all the marvelous times I had.” He hoped she understood from his letter that he loved her. Somehow he hated to put it in words. To say, “I love you,” sounded so ipane. But of course she did know. He had made it plain erdough that night he had held her in his arms. He reached New York with his senses curiously blunted, and with a certain dread of telling Helena the truth. In the taxi going up to the apartment he realized that it was not going to be easy, and he tried to plan what he would say and how he would lead up to it. Of course, she knew that he had been planning to see Nina. She might make it easy for him. But suppose she didn’'t! He had never found it very easy to talk about anything per- sonal. Oh, well, he would have to take a chance. No matter what happened. he was going through with this, He wanted his freedom and he intended to have it. As he neared home, it occurred to him that Helena might easily have consoled herself with some one else during his absence. That would make it easy. Mark Sands had been im- pressed by her and had shown her some attention. But on the other hand, writers and artists and mu- siclans were always unstable. They might admire some one, but their in- tentions were seldom serious. He reached the apartment, paid his taxi bill and went upstairs. Instead of opening the door with his latch key as he would have’ordinarly, he rang the bell. Minnie opened the door, smiling broadly. It was about 7 o’clock in the evening. “Is Mrs. Henderson home, Minnfe?" ;lle asked, dropping his bags in the all. Minnie was Instantly loquaclous. “No, sir, she ain’t, and it's a shame, too. You just missed her. She's gone out to a dinner party. I'll take those bags for you, Mr. Henderson, and wonld ‘you like something to eat. Mrs. Henderson expected to eat at home and ordered dinner, so that everything is ready. She just changed her mind after she got a telephone call a little after 6. . John went into the bedroom. It didn’t look as if it had been used since his departure, which seemed strange. 1" vhaps Helena had been staying with alle or her mother. At least, that as a logical explanation, but for all that he couldn’t help wondering. (Copyright. 1926.) -~ (Continued in Tomorrow's Star.) Hip, Hipp By SHIRLEY ROD! opotamus MAN WILLIAMS —.

It is amusing to recall how our ideas of what constitutes age change with the multiplication of our own birthdays. To the pre-adolescent girl 18 seems a great age, and any one above 30 is an old woman. When she herself reaches the mature age of 21 she feels that her girlhood will he over at 25, and at 38 she might as well be resigned to senile decay But when she discovers that her thirtieth birthd: and even her thirty fifth, find her full of the zest of life with a clearer and happier outlook on the problems that once loomed so threateningly, she must revise her earfer views on youth and age. She sees that the best, most interesting period of her 'life is just beginning. Once she thought that at the advanced age of 40 she would have outlived long since any desire for becoming clothes and physical beauty, but now she perceives the fallacy of such an absurd notion. It is true that the beauty of the mature woman is different from that of the young girl and that it requires a different background to enhance its charms. It is really quite pathetic to see a matron of a full figure and of uncertain age trying to pass for sweet 16, but it is just as absurd for a girl in _her 'teens to emulate a sophisticated woman of the world. After all, is not the secret of charm Just being one’s own sweet self? One of the most marked and re. gretted changes that come on with the years is a darkened complexion. Pink and white turn to a sallow hue to harmonize with grayving hair. Colors that were becoming during the ‘teens and twenties must be exchanged for softer hues. Frequently the prob- lem of selecting becoming clothes is complicated for the mother of a family by the fact that she cannot afford to experiment with colors. If she buys a chanel red afternoon frock, FEATURES. MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS she must wear it, even though it may make her look old and yellow. She must suffer for her mistakes. The question of colors is more im- portant to the mature woman than to the girl whose skin is fresh and rosy. Women with® brown hair streaked with gray and medium com- plexions will find dull soft blue- be- coming. Seal and chestnut brosns, dark green and Burgundy may be worn with cream or creamy flesh col- ored collar and cuffs or light colored short silky fur. Grays may be used if that color predominates in the hair. A medlum pinkish tan may some times be worn. Avoid rose hues, gray greens, bright greens and yellow Contrary to the general opinfon, black Is & color for youth and not for ma turity. Warm Autumnal shades are most becoming to women in middle life whose complexions have not re tained their girlhood freshness. Dress accessories that harmonize with the whole costume are more than ever important as one grows older The right shade in footwear, gloves and handbag must be used in orde to give the impression of grooming. Face powder should not be applied to wrinkled skins, since it gets into the creases and makes them more noticeable. A delicate touch of rouge may be used by those who have no natural roses in their cheeks. (Copyright. 1926.) Answered by DR. Questions from readers are anewered daily by Dr.S.
