WOMAN’'S PAGE. Elaborate: Mulfs Become Popular BY MARY MARSHALL. Queens and princesses seem to have 2 natural predilection for muffs. few seasons ago word came from Lon- {5 that Queen Mary and the Princess ry were both wearing muffs on oceasions and furriers wondered whether this might start a revival of these cold-weather accessories. But apparently neither the English Queen mor her daughter has the talent of the Prince of Wales in leading SET, CONSISTING OF MUFF BERET, IS MADE OF VEL- VET, ELABORATELY PAINTED AND EMBROIDERED. fashion by the nose. He may wear a light-blue shirt and collar this week and within a month light-blue shirts and collars are the fashion. He car- ries an umbrella in the streets of Paris and within a week the umbrella stores are doing a land-office busi- ness. It was not so when his mother and sister carried muffs. A few were sold in England in consequence. In Canada there was some slight de- mand for muffs, but in this country they were no nearer being revived than as if the Queen had never thought -of carrying one. With Marie of Rumania it may be different. In other regards American Women have already shown their will- ingness to take her as a leader of fashiol On more than one occasion in this country she carried a sable muff—a large muff, almost square in shape. She wore this muff with a coat of cloth of gold with heavy bor- der, coliars and cuffs of sable. It was part of an elaborate luncheon ensem- ble, One reason, they , why the Ru- manian Queen likes to carry a muff is because she does not like to wear gloves. On her left hand she wears a glove, but is apparently loath to wear a glove on her right hand. The muffs so far displayed have been of a rather elaborate nature, in- tended for formal afternoon wear. Once women wore them as a matter of necessity in cold weather, but when, they are worn now they are orna- ments pure and simple. (Coryright. 1926.) My Neighbor Says: Add only enough water to the flour in making pie crust to hold the dry ingredients to- gether in a lump, so that the mixture may be rolled out in a sheet. Too much water makes the crust tough. When putting on the collar of a blouse, the collar itself should not be stretched. If necessary, the neck of the blouse can be stretched, but not the collar, @herwise the blouse will not set well around the neck. In making a sauce which con- tains egg yolks for thickening, the sauce must not boil after the volks are added or it will curdie. It must be remembered that eggs will not thicken a mixture unless the bofling point is nearly reached Never put meringue on a ple or puddin~ that is hot or even warm. This is what causes those sirupy tears. Pile it on a. cold ple and place in a moder- ate oven to dry out and brown a little. It will hold its shape for a week and it won’'t hurt your ple, because it won't be in long enough more than to heat the meringue. If your canton crepe dress is spotted, sponge it all over with warm water and when partly dry press on the wrong side. Treated in this way, spots will soon disappear. 150 YEARS AGO TODAY - Story of the U. S. A BY JONATHAN A. RAWSOD General Plans an Attack. NEWTOWN, Pa.,, December 24, 1776.—Gen. Washington and his offi- cers dined this Christmas Eve at the quarters of Gen. Nathanael Greene. But not for a holiday festivity. They met for a council of -war to plan an adventure which within 48 hours may determine the fate of America. The countersign for this adventure will be “Victory or Death.” Orders have been given to cook rations for three days. From the Pennsylvania bank of the Delaware we can see the Hesslans in Trenton, a pretty village contalning about 130 houses and a Presbyterian meeting house. There are apple orchards and gardens, although now Winter-bound. Col. Rall is there with his regiment and Knyphausen has a few dragoons and riflemen. American scouts and ~=~7spies have secured for the General the most complete infol jon about the ‘enemy’s positions, now spread out in a long line along the route of our recent retreat, and reaching south- ‘ward toward Philadelphia. A scout brings news that . Gen. Howe has issued a proclamation offer- ing pardon to everybody in New Jersey who will lay down their arms and take the oath of allegiance to the King. The scout says that Howe and Cornwallis are well pleased with what they have done, that Cornwallls is going to England to tell the King the rebellion is about over, and that Howe s going to have a good time in New York attending dinner parties. The enemy thinks that the campaign is over and that they are comfortably fixed for the Winter. The General (Washington) has re- ceived a letter from Col. Joseph Reed, at Bristol, saying, in part: “We are all of opinion, my dear General, that something must be attempted to revive our expiring credit, give our cause some degree of reputation, and prevent a total depre. ciation of the Continental money, which {8 coming on very fa: that even a failure cannot be more fatal than to remaln in our present situa- tion; in short, some enterprise must be undertaken in our present circum- stances, or we must give up the cause. * * Qur cause is desper- ate and hopeless if we do mot take the opportunity of the collection of the troops at present to strike some stroke. Our affairs are hastening fast to ruin if we do not retrieve them by some happy event. * * “Pardon the freedom I have used. The love of my country, a wife and four children in the enemy's hands, the respect and attachment I have for you, the ruin and poverty that must attend mé and thousands of others, will plead my excuse.” The General will readily pardon the Colonel for pleading that something must be attempted. It was because the General had reached thts conclu- sion 10 days ago that he summoned this Christmas Eve's council and gave the countersign “Victory or Death.” (Copyright. 1926.)

DIARY OF A NEW FATHER BY ROBERT E. DICKSON. Letter from Joan to the new father: “‘Dearest: Some of the girls gave a bridge-tea for me today and I had such a good time. Mther took care of the baby for me. I am enjoying my visit so much. But I do think I will come home after a few more days. Relatives are so hard to manage where a baby is concerned. They just want to plck him up and play with him all the time—even Bill, and he is an interne and soon will be a fullfledged doctor, and he, at least, ought to know better. And I do hate to hurt their feelings. “T hope you are doing something about getting us a car. Do you know, I had the best idea today-—why not get just a second-hand one for now? Then when we feel more prosperous we can trade it in on a nice new one? Don't you think I'm smart? Besides, Bill knows a man who bought one and fixed it up and sold it for more than he paid. He merely put in some new pistons and a few things, and painted it, and Bill says you could put in new pistons in just a matter of min- utes. He sald he would do it to my folk's car himself, instead of taking it to a garage, only the internes aren't allowed to get their hands greasy. He said to be sure to tell you to do it. “So that is all settled, isn’t it? I'm so glad I thought of it. You will be- gin looking around right away, won't you dear? I just know our daddy won't disappoint us. Love. JOAN.” SUB ROSA BY MIML Whose Girl Are You? Not many boys ask the question so frankly. Lots of them stick around for weeks and months before ascer- taining exactly what they want to know. But there is a certain type of young male, who does practically put that question to the girl in whom he’s in- terested—and if she be a wise malden, she'll be ready for the inquiry. The correct swer to ‘“Whose girl you?” is “What do you care?” or ‘Who wants to know?" or anything else of a like impertinent and indif- ferent nature. The idea being that none of you women are to encourage the tender youth who demands to know whether your affections are tied up to one boy or not. There’s no quicker way of getting into a mess than to start running around with a boy who has this grand idea that every girl has a “steady.” In the first place, he will insist on your being his girl—and then he will insist on an exclusion of all other males. And vou will wake up to find your- self utterly cut off from all other eligible boys—running around with just one chap who isn’t even engaged to you. You may protest that he loves you violently—that he can’t bear to see you have anything to do with other men—that he yearns to marry you as soon ag the financial situation permits —but until you show the solitaire on the customary finger of the left hand, you've got nothing to prove any of your statements or his. The boy who wants to be told whose girl you are should be squelched vio- lently and immediately. For his inquiry shows that he's a sentimental idlot who would insist on your being his girl, giving up other boys, planning on matrimony and lay- ing aside idle gayeties. You may say: “Well, suppose I love this guy—what's to prevent my be- ing his girl and planning to marry him?"” It you love the gentdeman of the first part, well and godd. You can start being his girl right away, but you needn’t and mustn’t start those rosy matrimonial plans until you have something more definite to go on than his wish that you should be exclu- sively his girl. The boy who wants a definite un- derstanding that you're his girl end nobody else’s makes you lose your other friends—and ties you up so strong that even if you don’t particu- larly want to marry him, you often feel he's your last chance and you must take advantage of it. It's much better to be independent and refuse to acknowledge yourself as any one’s girl until you have some real reason such as a proposal or en- gagement. Boys who get into the habit of set- tling seriously just whose girl you are very often are selfish sentimentalists. They want you all to themselves— and yet they're doing nothing about making you a permanent addition in their lives. Don’t commit yourself, when asked that silly question. Let the young man find out for him- self whose girl you are. Mimi will be glad to answer any inquiries directed to this paper provided a stamped, addressed envelope is enclose: (Copyright. 1926.

It happened that’ the morning after Sammy had reported how he had seen the young {rees taken into the houses in the village that he visited the Old Orchard very early. He had puzzled so much over that mystery of the young trees that he hadn’t slept very well. So he was astir with the very first hint of light. He reached that part of the Old Orchard where Spooky the Screech’ Owl lived, just after Spooky reached home from his night’s hunting. Spooky’'s eyes were very round and very big. It seemed to Sammy that they were rounder and bigger than he had ever seen them before. It wasn't yet so light but that Spooky could see per- fectly, so Sammy was polite. “Good morning, Neighbor Spooky,” sald he. “I hope vou had good hunting last night.

They were trees from the Green Forest and they were growing in houses, and they were the most beautiful trees I have ever seen. They sparkled and glittered, and they were covered with all sorts of shining things. And the queerest part of it is, there were lights on them."” Stop!”” cried Sammy Jay. ‘““Who- ever heard of trees with lights on them and covered with shining things? You know very well you wouldn't dare %o into a house, so how do you know?"” "I looked in the windows,” replied Spooky. “I looked in the windows of Farmer Brown’s house. I looked in the windows of houses down in the village.

Spooky snapped his bill and hissed. “Who-0-0,” who-0-0!" said he. ‘““Who I have not seen what I “I do,” snapped Sammy Jay again. “Prove it to me.” “You'll have to prove it yourself,” replied Spooky. “To-night, when the stars are out, and the Black Shadows have crept all through the Green Forest and through the Old Orchard, come with me up to Farmer Brown's house and we will look in at a win- dow and you shall see the wonderful tree.” “Huh!” exclaimed Sammy. “If I went with you at night I'd never see anything. You don’t catch me in any such way as that, Spooky.” And with this Sammy fitted his tail and flew away. (Cobyright. 1926.) b sdebve et Almond Strips.

The average girl or woman goes to the kalrdresser for new ideas in coif- fing, but she wants something practi- cal that she can learn to do herseif without spending too much time on it. Elaborate coiffures with many pleces of extra hair and ornaments may win prizes in hairdressing con- tests, but since they usually require professional skill to arrange them, they are not of much interest to those of us 'who are in the habit of dress. ing our own hair. They may provide us with some useful suggestions, how- ever. For example, a prize-winning coif- fure in a recent contest was a side- part shingle bob disguised by a wide | bandeau of hair across the back with & cluster of curls and an artificial flower over one ear. It was a very charming coiffure for evening wear, but it requires two pleces of extra halr. By a little ingenuity. however, one can achieve a similar effect with- out the‘switch or curl cluster. Part the hair low on the right side. Ar- range a curl on the forehead at the beginning of the part. Put two or three deep waves in the smaller left section of hair. Wave the large right-hand piece of hair and form the ends into a cluster of round curls. Arrange a wide bandeau of métallic ribbon across the back of the head and attach it behind the ears to a wreath of flow- erets that is worn across the front of the head. With invisible hairpins arrange the curled ends of the hair on the sides so that they cover the joining of the back and the front bandeaux For a blonde, green and sflver make a pretty color scheme—green leaves with silver backs for the wreath and a brocaded ribbon of the two colors for the bandeau; a green chiffon frock with silver lace, a short necklace of brilliants set in white gold and silver brocade slippers. Orchid and coral make a charming color harmony for the brunette who looks well in pastel shades. Another attractive coiffure features the new diagonal part, which starts above the outer end of the left eve- brow and runs hackward across the crown of the head to behind the right ear. The hair is given large, loose waves and the ends of hair on the right side are made into a cluster of round curls or puffs. A wreath of tiny flowers may be pinned all around the cluster. If desired, a few extra curls may be used to supplement the natural ones. For a brunette with medium complexion, a flesh-pink gar- denia_ with a few giossy green leaves may be placed just behind the bunch of curls, Three ropes of pinkish pearls or small coral beads would look pretty with this coifture.

It is said the opera star is suffering with in- ternal ulcers and general nervous breakdown brought on by starvation diet. The singer says she tried practi- cally every known “get-slim-in-a- hurry” method. Her starvation diet, according to the report, was most foolishly drastic. Mme. Fitziu always rose before ?. Her breakfast consisted of a glassful of orange juice. Then her program was a long walk in the park. Despite the call of hunger she resisted all the bakery and food shop lures, foolishly walking on and on, hungry and faint from lack of proper food. After the strenuous no-breakfa: walk, she indulged in another glass of orange juice and mere exerc This time the exer- cises were strenuous—among which was a pummeling one 'in which she would throw herself against a wall! The singer remarks “this really gets rid of the fat, but brings on fatigue.” It certainly was a most harmful and entirely unnecessary performance. To cap the climax the star says she ate no dinner at night but dosed herself with remedles which she now knows are responsi- ble for her condition. What a price Health gone—slow weary recovery in a hospital. No wonder the singer feels she should issue a warning to other misguided women. The singer's ordinary activ- ities, a long walk and violent, cat- apult exercise against a wall—all on two glasses of orange juice! It does not seem possible that any one would so torture herself. A person lying quietly in a bed would need more food than two glasses of orange Juice, ‘A most emphatic warning should be constantly sounded against foolish re- ducing. Starvation diets which do not the Best Medicine furnish the body ‘with necessary nourishment are dangerous. Restrict- ed diets which cut down on_elements needed for health are g'angamus.
