But they fulfil their pres- ent service and mission just by pl ing the eye and ornamenting the which may be a dinner table or some smaller one devoted entirely to €x hibiting the complex and intricate miniature ship model. ‘While there is something intriguing In any miniatures exquistely wrought the orginal purpose of silver ships or “nefs” was ‘more than that of mere fascination. The name itself is de rived from the French word “navette,’ and the navette is an incense contain- er in the form of a_boat that is used for altar incense. The nef is an old and now obsolete form of this very type of container. only instead of its holding incense for the church, it held delicacies such as sweetmeats for the dining table. Or it might hold spices, in which case the fragrance wafting over the table during a meal was reminiscent of the original purpose of the ship as an incense container. ‘The fact that it was in ships that Incense and spices and choice sweot- meats were brought from southern climes to France and England sug- gests not only a probable reason for but also a delightful suitability in having receptacles for them made to represent ships.

And each smallest bit of mechanism stands ready, apparently, to be used when- ever the ship is manned. It is not strange that these ships have the ele- ment of appeal. not only to lovers of the sea, but to homemakers also who delight in their houses, There are many ships that do not qualify as the equals of these, but which also are fascinating as bits of decorative art for the home. Many young toy shipbuilders make beauti- ful to be used as orraments. And there are ships of all sizes and prices for those who do not have miniature ship- builders to supply them with one of the ships now so decidedly on the crest of the wave of popularity for deco- rations.

[DFAR MISS DIX: What kind of men do gitls prefer? Does Toyalty morality, education and honesty mean anything to them unless the possessors of these qualities have a movie star's good looks? Judging fram my own personal experience, I should say “No.” It seems that what they want i some fellow with a good line of gab, college-cut clothes. a face like a collar ad, the intellectuality of a moron and the morals of an alley cat. What kind of men do girls like? Or don’t they Know themselves? DISILLUSIONED MAN. Answer: There isn't any standardized type of man who is a sure-fire hit irls, for girls' tastes in men differ as they do in clothes. Probably every girl st s out with a mental picture of some fairy prince she hopes to meet and who is the twin brother to her favorite movie star, | but, nee o this enchanting being never comes along, and she settles down quite comfortably with some youth who doesn't in the remotest degree resemble the hero of her flapper dreams. And, judging from the sort friends that 1 see girls out with, it doesn’t seem to me that they are captious and critical. Rather it is a case of the answer to the old ver of, “Any man, good Lord, any man.’ with say, averly maid’s pra But T think vou are mistaken in saying that girls'’ first demand in a man is for good looks. Most women resent beauty in a man. They consider that their prerogative, and they prefer men who will admire them instead of expecting to be admired themselves and who will not present an invidious contrast to them. Tt is one thing for a homely man to go out with heautiful women and | quite another for a homely woman to go out with a_handsome man and know i every one is saving: "For goodness sake, why do you suppose that good | looking man picked out that ugly gir Besides, handsome men are nearly always vain and self-centered, and girls get tired very quickly of telling them what wonderful eyes they have and what elegant figures. They would rather listen to some man jolly them But when you ask me what type of men girls prefer, T must answer that it depends on the girls. There are sllly, frivolous girls with the mentality of English sparrows, who prefer the drug-store cowboys, whose brains are in their heels, who know a thousand steps to the Black Bottom and who can babble the same unintellizent chatter that they can. These girls would be bored to death by an intelligent man who tried to carry on a rational conversation with them. There are wild girls, who pet and drink. carry hip flasks and have automobiles and money to spend on them. regard honor and chivalry and sobriety and industry and high principles as just so much excess baggage for a man to carry. But there are many other girls who are ladies, who are Intelligent and refined and who take scrious views of life, and, believe me, friend, they are | looking for a man like you, a man who has high principles, who reads and thinks, who respects womanhood-and who doesn’t expect a girl to let him kiss her for every little courtesy he shows her. And_ these girls don’t care a whoop whether a man has a classic profile or an ugly mug or what kind of clothes he wears if he is neat and clean.

Mr. A. says that if | the mother goes with the girl she can never darken his doors again. Wherein lies Mrs. A.s duty? To stand by her husband or her child? QUIXEY.

She needs her mother above every one else on earth. It is only her mother who can save her. For her parents to shut their door upon her and throw her out into the streets js for them to throw her to the dogs. If instead of lifting her up her parents push her down, she is lost. As for a parent’s duty to a child, I | think that never ends, and that there is no limit to it. For what the child | is, the parents made it. They gave it its heredity and its environment. They molded its character. DOROTHY DIX. J)EAR MISS DIX: I am engaged to a young man 23 years old and we love each other dearly.
