WOMAN®’S PAGE Boxes Turned Into Pleasing Gifts BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. BVMALL, ROUND CARTONS MAKE EXCELLENT FANCY HOLDERS FOR TWINE BALLS, ETC., AND LARGER BOXES LEND THEMSELVES TO MANY USES ALSO. It is possible to change boxes from ordinary containers of pasteboard into attractive gifts for Christmas or into fancy boxes to hold dainty presents. These transformations take so little time that they are just what will ap- peal to the woman who is flurried with the thought of the many things to be done, and the short time Jeft in which to do them. What is equally appealing is that the cost of these boxes is trifling, though gifts of simi. lar attractiveness would not be cheap. If the box made is to hold a present, the value of the gift is decidedly in- creased by its handsome container. Round cartons with tight-fitting covers, such as ice cream comes in, can be put to many Christmas gift uses. They make attractlve twine hold- ers. Paper or cloth can be glued to the outside and a hole pierced through the center top just big enough for the end of the twine to come through. A stiletto is the right thing to use to ierce the top from the outside hrough the heavy cardboard. If you do not have one of these, use a smooth round nall, or you can plerce the cardboard with a No. 1 needle, and then enlarge the circle by press. ing a steel knitting needle or_crochet hook through the opening. The hole must be small, smooth and round. Wee Hat Boxes. ‘These containers make the smartest miniature hat boxes to hold bouton- nieres, both of which things can be homemade and be as attractive as those in shops. To be sure, you must twist the silk, georgette or organdy deftly to shape the jrose or other flower or make the smaller flowers with équal skill, if you succeed in coping with the beauty of those ‘bought readymade. But it can be done with-a little practice and a few odds and ends of material in artistic blends of colors. BEDTIME STORIE Sammy Is Sorry for Trees. T Did you ever stop to think how true this is? A seed s tucked away in the brown earth. From it springs a tiny plant, and there is nothing but the earth, the air, the rain and the sun- shine to build from it a great tower- ing tree. You see, growth is really only one form of building. It is won- derful beyond anything that man has ever done or ever can do. That is why it seems such a dreadful thing to cut a great tree, unless it is very mecessary. Sammy Jay had something of this ’I;I?HEH " SAID BAMMY SELP. feeling as he watched Farmer Brown's Boy cutting young spruce trees and young hemlock trees there in the Green Forest. It didn't seem at all right to Sammy. He couldn't understand it at all, and he felt, oh, ®0 sorry for those young trees. He wondered why Farmer Brown's Boy was cutting them. For once in his Jife he wished he could understand bis language. At first Sammy was tempted to Villie Willis BY ROBERT QUILLEN. “I ocouldn't think of any verbs to- day except ‘teach’ and ‘taught’ and “preach’ end ‘praught.’ (Oonyrizht. 1026.) A unique last-minute gift consists of a small georgette handkerchief twisted to resemble a rose, boxed in one of these chic hat boxes. The handkerchief is enhanced in value by the box. If you make several of these handkerchief gifts, let me suggest having a plece of georgette hem- stitched into the desired size of squares. Rose-colored georgette hem- stitched in black, or green with black —in fact, any of the correct shades of georgette with black stitching—are in accord with the present fashion. Cut the hemstitching through the center and you will have as many picot edged handkerchiefs as there are squares. If the handkerchief, of whatever sort made into a flower, has a few artificial leaves back of it the resemblance to a rose is more pro- nounced. Dainty Hair Receivers. If a hole about seven-eighths of an inch in diameter (or a trifle less) is made in the top of a box, which is covered with paper or cloth, it can be transformed into a hair receiver. Cover the box completely on the out- side—top, sides and bottom—with at- tractive Japanese paper, the kind you use for fancy covers for books, or small patterned wall paper. Glove Boxes, etc. Old stationery boxes can be made like new by covering as indicated. If filled with paper and envelopes il- lumined, as described in a recent ar- ticle, the gift is decidedly enhanced both in looks and in value. Long, rather narrow boxes can be trans- formed into nifty glove boxes. Line the inside of these boxes and make sllk wadded®strips to cover the bot- toms. Put some sachet in the wadded part, and there is a delightful touch added, - This same idea developed with square boxes can be used for hand- kerchief cases. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS scream ‘“Thief! Thief! Thief!” and let all the other little people in the Green Forest know what was going on. But he knew that screaming “Thief! Thief!” would do no good. He knew that all the screaming in the world wouldn't cause Farmer Brown’s Boy to stop. So he held his tongue and watched. After Farmer Brown’s Boy had cut half a dozen of these young trees, Sammy discovered something. He cocked his head on one side and studied and studied and studied. He flew over to another tree where he could get a different view, and again he studied. TI'm sorry for: these young trees,” sald Sammy to himself, “that have been cut. I certainly am. But I be- lieve it is going to be a good thing for those other trees that haven't been cut. Y sir, I believe it is going to be good thing for those other trees that haven't been cut. They will have more room to spread out and grow. They will grow faster and bigger and be stropger. Now I wonder If Farmer Brown’s Boy is doing it on that account. I wonder if that is why he spent so much time over here looking around before he began cutting those trees. And I wonder what he is going to do with those trees he has cut. 1 suppose the only way I'll ever find out is by being patient and watching.” Meanwhile Farmer Brown's Boy was whistling as he worked. He was very careful as he cut each young tree to see that it fell where it would not injure any other young tree. After a while he began talking to himself, as he had no one else to talk to. “It certainly does hurt to cut a tree. These are beautiful young tre and I don’t like to cut them. But I should let them grow they would no longer be beautiful trees. They would crowd each other so that all their beauty would be lost. A lot of them would die after a while. They would be starved for sunlight and air. But by cutting these out now, before they have begun to be too much crowded, I shall be giving the others a chance, The Green Forest will really be more beautiful for losing these young trees. Yes, sir, there is no doubt about it. If I came in here and took all the young trees growing up here, that would be another mat- ter. But I have picked out only those trees which will make the Green Forest better for losing. I am actu- ally helping the trees that are left, and at the same time these young trees are golng to give great joy.” Farmer Brown's Boy looked up Just then and saw Sammy Jay watch- ing him. Farmer Brown's Boy grinned. ‘Hello, Sammy.” sald he. "I suppose you are wondering what all this is about. I suspect you are thinking all sorts of bad things about me becaure I am cutting these trees. But it you knew what I know, you would know that T am adding to the happiness of the great world.” (Copyrizht. 1926.) Golden Pudding Sauce. Beat two egg yolks with one cupful MENU FOR A DAY.

A useful Christmas or birthday gift that a child can make for a grown person is a blotting book. Buy several sheets of white blotting pa- per, or gray or pink if preferred, and cut them up. Possibly each sheet can be cut into four blotters. Buy a sheet of black bristol board for the cover. Plerce holes or make short slits at one side for black cords to hold the blotters together. The covers can be painted, or are effective plain. Some- times one can find an appropriate picture to paste on the cover, but beware of gaudiness! (Copyright. 1926.) Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Every so often some one wants me to write about worms. I manage to edge past this subject unless I am requested to stop and observe it, as I dislike even the name, much less the thaught of the miserable things. Babies have worms much less often than their mothers suspect them of having them. In fact, mothers’ minds fly to worms the minute a baby ex- hibits any one of a number of per- fectly harmless and babylike signs. Malnutrition, nervousness, indigestion are all attributed to worms, and the poor kiddies dosed with nauseous doses which of course don’t do them a bit of good because they haven't any worms. Some mothers of the con- scientious type, to whom @a perfect slege of housecleaning is a joy for- ever, never miss a Spring without giv- ing the children worm medicine on general principles. They feel then that the children as well as the house are “fixed” for the next season. But most mothers can’t imagine their children being victims of worms when they realize that worms don't just come from eating sugar (as so many think), but are actually swal- lowed in the egg and hatch out inside. Sounds terrible, doesn’t it? Because that means that children have been eating dirty, unwashed food, infested with worm eggs! Now, how many mothers think their children have worms? If a mother suspects her child of having worms, and of course it is pos- sible Yor children to eat vegetables from the garden, imperfectly denuded of mother earth and her earthly in- habitants, or fruit which has worms in it, etc., then the mother should wait until she finds signs of the worms before she begins any dosing with worm medicines. Some kinds of worms can be elim- inated by medicines taken internally, others by injections of medicines. To get rid of them thoroughly the mother needs some expert advice and sometimes help. Worm medicines are not to be given by amateurs, ever. Baked Chicken. Cut a well cleaned young chicken of two or three pounds into eight pieces and let soak in cold water a few minute: Place in a casserole, and then pour over a pint of rich milk seasoned with celery paprika, using about a tablespoonful of the salt and one-fourth teaspoonful of paprika. Cover and bake slowly in the oven until tender, removing the cover and turning up the fire a little at the last to brown the chicken. Remove, and thicken any liquid that remains in the bottom of the dish to make a sauce. Stir a cupful of cooked peas or asparagus into the sauce and serve around the chicken. Old chicken is also good baked in this way. of sugar until creamy. Set the bowl in a_kettle of boiling water and beat steadily while pouring in three table- spoonfuls of bolling water. When thick and foamy, remove frof the fire, add the juice of one lemon, and grate some nutmeg on top of the sauce. The juice of an orange and half the rind may be used in; tead of Juice and nutmeg. . Puzzled Bachelor to Whom Girls Grow Less Attractive on Longer Acquaintance—Advice to Girl Who Doesn’t Attract Men. EAR MISS DIX: Is there such a thing as ladting love? I am able to marry, and would like to marry, but I don't want to tie myself up with a woman of whom I would weary. PUZZLED BACHELOR. Answer: Of course, there is such a thing as real, lasting love. Tt is true that we are not often privileged to behold it, just as we seldom see a flawless jewel, or a perfect rose, or any other thing that has no blight upon it in this old muddling world of ours, But now and then we see an old couple who are as much in love with each other after 40 or 50 years of wedlock as they were when they stood before the altar. . We all know men still in love with wives who are querulous and nagging and complaining and selfish; men who nurse sickly wives through long stretches of invalidism: men who uncomplainingly spend their lives slaving to support extravagant wives, who never give them so much as a “thank you.” And we all know avives who still love the men who beat and mistreat them; wives who go down into the depths of poverty for love of their husbands; wives who can still love the drunken beasts they open the door for at night; wives who are waiting without the gates of prisons to take back into the shelter of their arms the men who have shamed them. You cannot see such examples of love as these without knowing that there is such a thing as a love that passes all comprehension, and that is strong enough to endure every vicissitude of fate. But it is not given to many of us either to arouse this feeling in others or to experience it ourselves. Most of us are just as incapable of the grand passion as we are of singing in grand opera. We are too little, too narrow, too selfish, too stingy. The only person the average individual ever really loves with a whole-hearted devotion is himself. We think we lave because some man or woman has a physical attraction for us, or we find him or her an agreeable and amusing companion, or because he or she can make life more comfortable for us. This feeling lasts only as long as the party of the other part ministers t our pleasure, and when that ceases our fickle fancy turns to some one else. This sort of love is only self-love. Real love seeks not its own, but the happiness and well-being of its object. It never changes because it never tires o of sacrificing to its beloved. S Whether the women of this day seldom have the qualities that inspire a deathless devotion in men, or whether men have become so self-centered that they no longer are capable of a great love, no one knows. But one thing is sure, you will be wise not to marry until you find a girl who grows more and more fascinating to you every time vou see her, and whom you love better than you d.o ::ou:sel.l. DOROTHY DIX. MISS DIX: I am a girl of 22 and good-looking, but T do not attract men, or rather, I can't hold them. They seem to fall for me easily enough at first, but they never come back. I don't care enough about dancing to learn how to. Is that a handicap? Do not tell me to wait and the right man will come along some time. Now is the time to live, and I want to live, Prescribe something for my trouble. ‘. MAMIE. Answer: There is no Old Doctor Know It All who has any remedy for a case such as yours is. In olden times, women bought love philters, which they surreptitiously administered to the men they wished to attract, but it is not recorded that they ever worked. Why certain girls attract men while other girls, just as good:lookin intelligent, never have a beau to bless themselves with; why some \vnmeg ?:?g marry seven times, and other women who are far better fitted to make good wives than they are, have “Spinster” engraved upon their tombstones, is a mystery past all solving. It just Happens that way. And nobody can prescribe for the girl's trouble, because nobody kno what afls her. Sometimes it is because she isn't anxious Onnunh‘tt) please men, but just as often it is because she is too anxious to please them. Some- times it is because she is a dumbbell. Sometimes it is because she is 2 human phonograph. Sometimes it is because she doesn’t dress well enough, but it is Just as likely to be because she dresses too much. And there you are. My earnest advice to the girl who doesn't attract forget it. Quit worrying over it. Interest yourself in other "mll‘:m:.‘ ‘(i‘r’» :3 work and make your own money, and then you need not be cut out of all the good times. Perhaps that doesn't sound very cheerful to the girl who wants the admiration of men, but when you accept the fact that a thing is beyond your reach, and you can't have it, anyway, you can make yourself very cheerful with the things you can have. ooy 8BS ¥ e.

A Michigan reader sends in a clip- ping of a typical advertisement, one of the 1898 vintage, if you can re- member the great ‘“specialists’” who used to make the circuit of the hick towns. This one, evidently still ex- tant, is faithful to the best traditions of his ilk, in that he “will be at the House for one day only.” But hfi doesn’t divulge his own name at all. Along with the mnnouncement-- which appears to have been printed in a newspaper, though it is good enough for humor for an almanac-- the nerson reporting the matter sends this letter: “I have a (relative) who had tuber- culosis about five years ago and was in the sanatorium at——six months, after which he was pronounced cured and his lungs healed.

He afterward reduced the price to $45. “I would like your clean-cut, straight-from the-shoulder opinion of this doctor and his method: Some good critlc told me long ago that I use a sledge hammer to kill a flea. I find there is much truth in that, If I select an example of pre- posterous quackery and exhibit it here, with salient facts of the.matter, @ great many readers who are thor- oughly well misinformed assume that T am giving vent to professional jeal- ousy, not for myself but in behalf of the “medical doctors” or the “al- lopaths,” as these well misinformed folk generally call regular physicians. 8o, instead of ripping the cloak of this particular tramp tinker, I'll just set down a few of the earmarks by which any one may detect quackery before taking. 1. Reputable physicians or speclal- itsts practice always under their own individual names, and never under a firm name, corporation name, com- pany, association, combination, group, or other impersonal title. 2. If a reputable or real specialist or physician does go away from home to recelve patients, he never pub- lishes his own greatness or invites the attention of persons with this or that ailment. If he is good as ho pretends to be he can't get away from home very often. 3. A really competent physician or specialist in tuberculosis would not and could not promise a cure in any assurance of a cure of kidney trouble (no matter what the trouble may be) in three months, 4. No good and reliable physician or speciallist can ever guarantee a cure in any circumstances. Of coyrse the doctor may feel reasonably sure that his treatment will prove suc- cessful in removing a wart or effect- ing unlon of the fragments of a broken bone, but no one knows what may intervene to prevent such a con- summation, and so, as I say, the honest doctor simply cannot guaran- tee a_cure of anything. 5. Nowadays the title “doctor” s misleading. Formerly it generally signified a physician. Now it is as likely to be assumed by any unquali- ded healer. You never can tell about the chap who comes along labled ‘doctor.” (Coyright. 1926.) Tomato Mayonnaise. This s a deliclous dressing for cold beef or mutton.

When they return from their homeymoon Helena's younger sister, Natalie, marries. John has become interested in a charming widow, Nina Price, on their trip to Havana, and Helena confides to Nat- alie that she, _is sure he no longer loves her. Natalie advises her to fight for him if she cares enough. In an effort to hold him she begins to weave a web about him, pretending indifference. It does mo good, how- ever, because he departs on a busi- ness trip to the Coast and_visits Nina, who lives in Denver. She en- courages him to make love to her and he returns with the determina- tion to ask IHelena to free him. She is prepared for this and before he can say anything, she tells him she is no longer in love with him. He takes for granted the fact that she loves some one else and she lets him think 80. The next day she departs for the country to stay with Natalie. On the night Natalie’s baby is born Helena’s mother telephones John and asks him to come down. They are afraid she will not live, but she does. iJohn tele- phones Helena and asks her to have dinner with him. He is planning to go back to Denver and he wants to see her before he leaves. CHAPTER XLIV. Talking It Over. John waited for Helena by the in- formation booth in the grand con- course. As she came toward him he remembered with a vividness that was almost startling that night short- Iy before their marriage when he had met her at a hotel for dinner. He even remembered his thoughts. She had been almost portly then, and he remembered thinking viclously when they had ordered dinner that she al- ways selected the most uninspiring things on the menu. That was the first night he had made up his mind that he no longer loved her. He had decided to tell her. ‘What a bptch he had made of the en- tire situation, and what a fool he had been. Helena wore a Summery-looking gown of black and white. Black polka dots on a white ground. A wide black leghorn hat that came down over her eyes gave her a mysterious look. She looked fresh and dainty and very young, also quite sure of herself. As they walked toward the taxi stand he asked her where she wanted to have dinner and on impulse sug- gested a roof. “But it will be noisy there, won't it? And there will be music. We want to talk.” . “But think how cool it will be,” he Insisted. ‘“We can have our talk at the apartment after we have had din- ner.” Helena made no further objection and they went to a roof. When he asked her what she wanted to eat, she ordered hors d'oeuvres, jellied con- somme and cold salmon with mayon- naige, It sounded so delicious that he ordered the same, and then he asked her if she wanted to dance. She rose instantly. In the past she had always been in- different to dancing, but he supposed that her new Bohemian friends had influenced her. Had she had these feminine tricks before, or was it sim- ply that he hadn’t noticed it? He had expected her to object when he had suggested the apartment for their talk, but she said nothing, and when they arrived there it was not yet dark. “How sweet it looks!” Helena said gayly. “Did you like the flowered shades, John? I thought they would be so sweet for the Summer. Is Min- nie as good as ever? Does she take care of you properly?” She went about the living room slightly rearranging things here and there. “I wonder if Mrs. Price will like this apartment,” she said after a time. “Of course, I can’t help think- ing these things, John. You won't think I'm intrusive for making that remark.” “Certainly not,” he said a trifle stifly. “What are your plans? Are you and Mr. Sands planning to live in_the city? For a moment Helena's heart sank. Had she really hoped so much then that this separation could be averted? ArLd if so, how foolish she had been. I suppose you're very much in ho s e e Center love with each other,” John said with a sudden sneer. “I actually belleve he fell in love with you that first night.” Helena laughed girlishly. “Do you, really?” “Hasn't he ever told you so?” She wrinkled her brows in an ador- able frown. She had taken off her hat and the lamplight shone on her short ruffled hair. “I can't remember,” she said after a minute, “really I can't. But I don't think he ever sald anything about it."” John changed the subject abruptly. “You can get a divorce from me on the grounds of desertion, can't you?" Helena considered this & moment. “ARE YOU AND MR. SANDS PLAN- NING TO LIVE IN THE CITY?" “Yes, I could, but it would take such a long time. You don't want to wait as long as that, do you, John? I'm’ sure I don't!" . (Copyright. 1026.) (Continued in tomorrow’s Star.) Clues to Character BY J. 0. ABERNETHY.
