THE MODERNISTIC TENDENCY IS MARKED IN THESE THAT ARE CHARMING The multiplicity of ideas for shawls that are handmade and that come from abroad gives us some notion of the tremendous vogue of such shoulder wraps. In England one titled woman has shawl making for a hobby and orochets the most amazing kinds. Sometimes she uses Shetland wool for the work. sometimes silk Knitting thread. I have seen French crocheted shawls of artificial silk thread of a high grade. The shawls are modernistic in type as far as the designs are concerned, for they are merely conventional motifs joined with chain stitch in black. These motifs are made sepa- rately and then laid on a triangular piece of paper on which places have been indicated for the different motifs. The motifs are basted in place and then joined by chain stitches. When one chain crosses another a stitch through the chain beneath is taken in the crocheting, thus giving extra strength in the very open network. Variety in Styles. Shawls that have the motifs done in bright colors are daring and varied. These are just the things for young women, especially those with dark * hair and flashing eyes—women of the Spanish or Italian type. If the shawl is developed in pastel tones of orchid soft mulberries, lichen greens, old blues, French grays, canary vellow, eto., the effect is more conservative without losing any charm. Or if the Eolor scheme is just black and white the result is smart, somewhat con- servative, and yet striking. How to Make the Shawls. From the shawl pictured a design that is quickly made and distinctive can be copied. Centers of circles should be of contrasting color to outer rings or petal forms. The outlines should all be in black with black chain stitching to join motifs. In the lily- shaped motif near the center the inner SHAWLS EUROPE. part or oval portion should be either lighter or darker than the outer part. The two pistils or wee circles are made and sewed on with a close run-| ning stitch. The pointed leaves are : crocheting single, double and along each side of a 5 Work the chain which forms the middle “vein” of the leaf as a chain the length desired, and then work a single crochet stitch in each stitch, bringing You back to the “stem” end, or beginning of the chain. Then make a single crochet on one side, increasing to d ¢ (double crochet) and t'c (triple crochet) in the widest part, thus forming the shape of the leaf. Make two or three stitches in the end, one hefore turning to prevent the work cupping, and then in reverse order of stitches go down the other side of the “vein” to the “stem” end again. When motifs are completed, baste to paper pattern in positions indicated. Join as described with chain. Handsome Gifts. Such shawls make marvelous Christmas gifts, and now is a good time to start one. The crocheting is so broad in style that it takes but a very little time to make a motif. With motifs large, very few are required, and so the time needed to complete a shawl is short for the beauty of the result as well as in actual hours dneeded. These shawls are expensive to buy, but when made they cost no money, except for the material. This outlay can be gauged by the style of the shawl, whether pure silk, Shet- land yarn or artificial silk. Do not make the shawls of any cheap grade of imitation silk or mercerized cotton, for the shawl is robbed of its beauty unless it indicates luxury. Use fine wool, and this desirable quality is kept and the cost kept low. Wool is preferred by some women because shalwll are slightly warmer and cling well. SOUND AUCTION BRIDGE BY WILBUR C.

THE PLAY (Bracketed cord shows lead 1o each trick) Salient Points of the Bidding. South’s Spade suit is too weak to ®ia initially in comparison with the d nlternative Heart suit. Although rth has three Hearts to the Jack and n side ace, he cannot soundly assist his partner's Heart bid. If, however, South can rebid Hearts, f¥orth can actually furnish fair' ‘sup- e port with his trump honor, doubleton Spade and Ace of-Diamonds. To pass the hand might discourage an other- wise good rebid by South. Therefore North bids two Diamonds to show a certain amount of strength, fully realizing that the bid is not wholly Justifiable. ‘Without support of Hearts by his partner, South cannot rebid the suit and therefore denies the Diamonds with No Trump, though holding but one Club stopper. North, lacking No Trump strength, carries the declaration back to Hearts, thus showing ‘“average expectancy” in the suit, realizing that South may have failed to rebid a playable Heart suit because his partner had seem- ingly denled the suit. Salient Points of the Play. Trick 1. East, on the assumption that West has bid a five-card suit, plays an encouraging card to assure his’ partner that the Clubs can be continued. A continuance with the Ace must drop the Queen. If West' lead is from King-Queen and he fol- lows with a low card in recognition of the encouraging discard, East's Jack will draw the Ace. Trick 3. Declarer sees that if he can make a successful Spade finesse, he can ruff two Spades and make game by allowing the adversaries to make a Diamond tricl Club tr and a trump trick; therefore, he plays the hand accordinzly.

HOME NOTES BY JENNY WREN, Exterior decorating is a_problem that is given as careful thought as interior decorating these days. The appearance of the outside of a house is considered fully as important as that of the inside. For the porch and terrace and gar- den the shops offer almost as many intriguing novelties in the way of furniture and decorative accessories as for the interior. Typical of the new thought in de- signing interesting and quaint pieces to fit into the outdoor setting are the two pieces shown. The chair is an old English type, with straight, slightly rounded legs, a low, ample seat and delightfully curved back. It is painted a light moss green. The little muffin stand is of wrought iron, having quaintly scalloped shelves and graceful legs. It is painted a shining black. (Copyright. 1927.) FOOD AND HEALTH BY WINIFRED STUART GIBBS. Food Specialist. Melons. The grinning pickaninny who has come to be a standardized illustration of any story that has to do with watermelon knows what he is about. When he sets his white, shining teeth into the pink and juicy flesh, he is, of course, not bothering his Kinky head about it, but that same water- melon is doing a lot for him. It is giving him phosphorus so that he can clamor apd play and study without any thought of the intricate goings on inside of his little black body. It gives him lime, so that those afore- mentioned teeth will remain hard and white. It even gives him some body- building food, although, as in other fruits, this is furnished in compara- tively small portions. Not being a student of dietetics, our little pickaninny does not use the very best judgment in his choice of melons. Were he to transfer his alleglance to cantaloupe, let us say, he would be getting more for his money. First of all, cantaloupe would go almost twice as far in keeping his blood alkaline, although it will probably be many years_before he is conscious of acido- sis. Even so, however, there is noth- ing like prevention! This is the chief advantage of can- taloupe over watermelon, for the two are practically the same so far as lime and phosphorus are concerned. The other advantage that the can- taloupe has over the watermelon is the fact that it contains a decided trace of food and iron which water- melon lacks. Then there are other varieties of melon. In the Spring we have honey- dew and later the delicately flavored cassava. One should give honor where honor is due, and these melons, like their sisters, are all generally alkaline. With reservations, however, it is fair to say that these lighter-fleshed and more _delicately flavored melons lack the richness of mineral ash that glves to cantaloupe, especially, such power in repairing damage brought about by overindulgence in acid- forming foods. 1t is much more interesting to think of delicious fruits than it is of dire diseases. Teachers who tell us that we must not stress the negative would like this way of teaching diet and preventing disorder. In fact, all through the work of planning proper diets this principle of sticking to the positive might be taken as a guiding hen, for any reason, illness been brought about, there is plen- ty of time to thing of the remedial side of food.

D (Copyright, 1927.) THE GIRL OF SEVENTEEN By CLYDE CALL! A well known 17-year-old girl of the present day is Princess Ileana of Rumania, the youngest daughter of Queen Marie. In spite of the fact that she is more or less closely related to almost every royal person in Europe she seems to be very much like any other good looking, normal girl of the age. The only presidential bride of 17 was Eliza McCardle of Tenessee, who married Andrew Johnson, who became President after the_ assassination of Abraham Lincoln. He was only two years older than his bride. At this time he was working as a_journeyman tai- lor, having been apprenticed at the age of 10, and it was his girl bride, Eliza McCardle, who first taught him to read; three years later he had man- aged to become mayor of his town, Greenville, Tenn. It was the most youthful of all presidential marriages, so far as both the bride and the bridegroom were concerned. Joan of Arc was 17 when she first attracted attention. For four years, ever since some time in her thirteenth year, she had heard angelic voices. As time went on Joan felt herself called in a most unusual way. St. Perversely I wish it had lnppencd to me.

Catherine and St. Margaret seemed to be talking to her as well as St. Michael, the chief of angels. It was in fact St. Michael who first told her to start out in man’s attire to the aid of King Charles of France. When, as a simple peasant girl of 17, she first went to the French commander with her story, they judged her insane. Later they took her seriously and had a suit of armor made for her with a white banner. It was the next to the last day of April when she was 17 that Joan of Arc led the French troops and forced the English to give | up their siege of Orleans. !

She had been making a living on the stage for five years, but until then was considered | too small to take anything but juvenile parts. Peg Woffington was an intimate triend of the great English actor and | manager, David Garrick, and there were those who tried to prove that Garrick actually married Peg, but this was not the fact. Peg had the kind- est heart in the world and was long remembered for her generous contri- butions to London charities. (Copyright. 1927.) .. Berlin Woman Workers.

Tom suddenly froze. “Really?” He remembered Martin Lee. To ‘Tom, Martin Lee was like a red rag to a bull. He knew that Nan had had a chance to marry him. If she had, she would be riding around now in her own car instead of cooking dinner in a Greenwich Village studio apart- ment. His usually sweet disposition was suddenly soured.
