WOMAN’S PAGE. Covers for Telephone Books BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. WHEN THE COVER TO THE TELEPHONE BOOK MATCHES THE COSTUME OF A TELFPHONE DOLL, AN ATTRACTIVE SET RESULTS. e broks are necessities. They ical, but by no means decora- tive. As they are so much in evidence, it is getting to be more and more the om to make covers for the books. form the ordinary into the extraor nd turn the inartis- tic into the attractive and smart. For a boudoir, the cover should be dainty. The book will get no hard usage. and among the beautiful deco- rations of the room the telephone book then finds itself at home. The tele- phone should have its appropriate dress also. This may be a veritable costume. The natty telephone girl. the folds of whose skirt conceal the phone, is diffi- cult to fmprove upon for a boudoir fit- ting. If the material of the frock is suffciently heavy and rich. it may be used for the book cover on whieh the telephone girl may stand. Or the cover may be in some darker brocade and form a dais for the doll, to set off the dainty apparel to best advantage. A telephone book in a living room or Ebrary should have a cover neither cainty nor delicate, but in accord with the decorative surroundings. It can be | made from a piece of upholstery fabric t> match, or harmonize with, that on the furniture. If it is on a telephone table, the cover of the book may be like If gimp, it can edge the bookbinding also. The cover for a telephone book in a hall should be conservative. It is where it will get harder usage than in | the other places named. It can be less | a decoration than a protection for the | paper cover, rendering it stouter and easier to handle. If the hall has fine fittings the cover should suit its eur- roundings. While it may be handsome and of expensive goods, it should never be bizarre. The cover for a telephone book kept {in a back hall or a place near the | kitchen should be very simple. Black | enamel cloth with painted decoration | is appropriate and it has its note of | ornament also. These enamel cloth | covers for telephone books are much in | evidence just now. They are dursble !and can be smart enough to use in | other places than the one given. Fash- | fon has set its stamp of approval on | black enamel cloth for various types of handicraft articles, such as book covers, bags, etc., and while it is sanc- | tioned, accessories of it are correct as well as substantial. For offices, the covers for telephone books should be severely plain. There are binder covers that can be bought. These are of stiff paper, sometimes re- the cover on the stand.

Home in Good Taste BY SARA AILAND. There is one idea which should al- ways be kept in mind when furnish- ing & man's room, and that is that there should be no suggestion of daint- iness. Color should be an important item. but sturdy furniture butlt for case and comfort should be feremost in consid- eration. ‘The room as sketched could not be taken for any other than that for a man, for the straight lines of the fur- niture, bold designs in the fabrics and absence of bric-a-brac all stamp it as being distinctly masculine. The woodwork and walls of this room have been finished in a light shade of putty and the floor covering is a very dark shade of blue green. No shades or glass curtzins are used in the window treatment, draw curtains of black ground cretonne being the solection, This material has a con- low and blue green: and the chair is cov- ered in a Chinese red ground cretonne, while the stool is black and gold The lamp standard 1s black and the shade red and gold, while the shades for the side lights are simple ones of parchment bound with velvet in a neutral tone.

Says Not Time, But Neglect Kills Love. Does Love Last? . A GIRL asks: “Does love last? I8 it possible for a man and woman to love each other when they are old as they did in their youth? I see so many middle-nged couples who are frankly bored with each other, and who, when they are alone together, sit up in a silence so thick you could cut it with a knife; I see so many elderly couples who are always fretting and nagging at each other, and between whom there does not seém to be even the bond of mutual toleration that T wonder if love befongs only to youth, and if we must make up our minds to see 1t go along with the freshness and the beauty of youth.” Not at all, my dear. Tt I8 true that youth s the love time of lfe, the time of eircling wings and golden glory, and that a youth and maiden do generally fall in love with each other because of thelr physical attractiveness. Further- more, it 18 true that many middle-aged couples have fallen out of love with each other. But thig is not the fault of age. It is not the inevitable result of time. It is their own doing just as much as if they had started out in their youth with a fortune and had lost thelr money, and had been reduced to poverty through their cavelessness in throwing it away. For whether & man and woman, who aré in love when they marry, stay in love or not depends altogether upon themselves They can cultivate their Jove and make it flourish like the green bay tres, or they can let it wither away and die of neglect. They can grow closer and closer togéther as the years go by until they are literaily one soul with but a singlé thought, or they can drift farther and farther apart until they are not evén in long-distance telephoning connection with each other. They can build up their house of happiness, or they can wreck it over their own heads. If every man tried as hard after marrlage to hold his wife as he did to win her, there wouldn't be any wives out on a still-nunt for somebody who understood them. No wife would ever fall out of love with a husband who remained the lover, who told her how beautiful and sweet she was, and how different from all other women, who remcmbered the date when they got engaged and their wedding anniversary, who ncticed what she wore, and brought her a 50-cent bunch of violets because they just matched her eyes, and a bag, of peanuts every now and then, S . T wouldn't matter how old he got, nor how bay-windowed, nor how many chins he acquired, nor how much hair he lost. She would never see him as anything but a shelk. He would always be younz and slim and graceful to her, and the dearest thing in the world. When a wife falls out of love with her husband. it isn't age that has killed her love for him. He has starved it to death by neglect, by giving it no tenderness to feed on. Or he hes killed it by brutality, by surliness, by ill-temper, by stinginess. 2 ‘The same thing is equally true of a wife losing her husband's love. She invariably attributes this to age and bemoans herself that he has left her for a younger and fairer face, but this 18 merely an alibi by which she excuses herself. When a man who has once loved & woman ceases to love her, it isn't because she | has had a few more birthdays. It is because of something far more vital, It is not because she has lost her girlish figure, but because she has los to him. Tt is not because her hair is turning gray, or her complexion has got sallow, but because she shows him no tenderness or appreciation, or hecause she has developed into a nagger, or a shrew, or a whiner and complainer. | A woman may weigh 200 pounds and her husband will still call her “little | girl” if she knows how to make him happy and comfortable.

The STYLE POST is the marker on the road to being smart., Chic Foreheads. An interesting manifestation of the modern trend toward frankness and simplicity is the exposure of the femi- nine forechead. It is no longer con- sidered necessary to beauty to cover it with either hair or hat. Turbans which have always framed the eyes coquettishly, slightly above the eyeébrows, now show an edge which ca- reens up in a point high above one éve or in the middle, revealing an attractive third or half the brow. (Coyright. 1628.) SUB ROSA RY MIMI Misplaced Economy. It seems incredible that there should be left in the world such girls as Stella. In these days, when every New York boy shies away like a frightened horse from the popular girl, who may be a gold digger, Stelia ought to be a riot. However, 80 contrary is the average male that Stella doesn't get the rusn she deserves. She doesn't get any rush at all. The rmr child was brought up by | nice old aunts, who taught her to be a | lady, gave her very little money, sent her to a cheap school, spending nishing sible. Also they read her eternal lec- tures on the subject of cconomy; they made her realize that the greatest sin n the world is extravagance, the greai- | est indiscretion waste of mona. Consequently Stella grew up into a nice, sweet, pretty creature, who had erfectly decent clothes—carefully se- |fected at marked-down sales—perfectly | nice home and perfectly awful ideas about money. In the first days when the whole crowd was just beginning to meet men and step around a bit. Stella didn't do so badly.

Sometimes the wife is a leaky vessel who cannot be told things because she babbles. Sometimes she is the kind of woman who always refers to her husband's business as “that hotrid office,”” and who yawns in his face when he tries to tell her of hi: h:lpe.l nd ambitions and plans. . Sometimes he is the SOMEHMES a wife never reads a book, nor even a newspaper, and she grows | so dull and stupid that she bores her husband to teal Sometimes a woman will not step out with her husband and sometimes she will not stay at home with him.

But however It is. it is not time that has alienated the husband and wite, The real reason that they have nothing to say to each other is because they have never cultivated each other's companionship or tried to stay pals. But when an old couple has tended the sacred flame on the altar and kept 1t burning through the yvears, their love makes young love seem “as moonlight | unto sunlight, or as water unto wine For it has been tried and proved. It has stood the test of time. It is made up of troubles and anxicties they have borns together; of sacrifices thi made for each ether. It Is hallowed by the cradles they have bent over and the graves they have wept over together, and they know beyond all doubting that it can never fafl them, that it is stronger than life, stronger than death. ‘We may not all be fortunate enough to win love, but, having won love, it is our own fault if we lose it, DOROTHY DIX.

He hesitated to ac- cept the rflmn!ihllll{ for several sound reasons, the one of first importance being an inadequate supply of talent among the members. As it was to be strictly a club affalr, performed by members of the organization, his efforts would be more or less circumscribed. No one was to recelve any compensa- tion for his or her participation in the show. To engage professional talent would have been prohibitive, as the ob- ject of the show was to raise money for some purpose or other. The coach himself was expected 1o contribute his time and talent to the cause. He sald: “Any one who has ever had anything to do with putting on an amateur show knows what an expenditure of energy and patience is necessary to drill a lot of neophytes who are inclined to take the whole thing lightly.
