woM AN'S PAGE: e Making Money for Christmas Gifts BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. One thing for which there is a uni- versal demand by women in quest of| Christmas gifts is the money with which to buy them. It is not enough that she can make articles with crochet hook, sewing needle, knitting needles or a tatting shuttle, Sometimes no gift so made is just what the woman wants to EVEN SO DOMESTIC AN ACCOM- PLISHMENT AS CAKE-MAKING MAY BE TURNED TO ACCOUNT FOR THE PURCHASE OF THE GIFTS, FAR DIFFERENT. present. This is particularly true of gifts to men. A wife knows just what her husband would like, but how is she to get the money with which to buy it? Many a mother knows what her sons want, but is at a loss to find funds for the purchasing of them. There are plenty of women in just such quandaries. 1t is not too soon to begin to get busy and to relieve the strain of longing by the satisfaction of activity in a con- structive way. Every woman has some ability that can be made lucrative. It may be with her needle, by her competence in cook- ing, by her skill as a typist, by her art of fine laundering, etc. Each person should realize her capabilities and bring them to her present aid. The question then comes up, how shall she find a market for her special wares, 1t must be remembered that there is no idea of a woman actually earning her own living that is under consideration. The point is how to get a definite sum with which t& make some particular INFANTS Mineral. NO Recjpral QdDE SANUELFITRER g Rochelle Salts A-I.n’l,: Gy MH-‘F,.’ ALCOHOL-3 PER!

Once the woman has de- rmined on her method, she must not | hesitate to let her friends know her in- | tentions. There are sure to bs some |among them who will be glad to avail | themsalves of her offers—provided she is reasonable in prices and her things are of excellent quality. She will find her friends glad to further her work One woman made a good thing by sending her needlework to bazaars, fairs and sales. She set a low price on the articles and sold them outright to | the persons in charge of the tables, booths, etc, handling similar things. | Or she asked a commission of 10 per cent on whatever was sold, and took | back the things net disposed of, later | to send them in the sam> way to other | places. She was constantly on the look- | out for notices of sales of this sort and | prompt in getting in touch with the heads. The special ability of this wom- an was in needlecraft, and she was | clever in making articles well worth the sums she asked, which were from 25 cents upward, but chiefly of things un- der $1. One woman made a delicious orange marmalade, and sold it for 25 cents a | jelly tumbler, if the psrson supnliea the tumbler, or 30 cents if she supplied the glass, Another woman who was an ex- pert cakemaker used, once a week, to | make cake on order. And her hands were full. It was with much regret that those who bought could get no more after Christmas—not, at least, until another year! She asked but $1 for a very large layer cake and would sell half if one wished. She made brownies for 10 cents each, and good sized ones, too. Another woman supplied a nearby grocer with hot doughnuts twice a week on commission. Yet another baked beans on Saturday and Wednes- days for a small bakeshop around the corner, which took the orders and gave them to her, also on commission. | The ways given are all thcse that | have been’ tried and that have proved successful, The profits in one case were Jarge, but the work was a side issue. In each case the woman did what she knew she could accomplish easily. Other women may have different capabilities, but no one should feel helpless to get with her own efforts the special gift desired. Everyday Law Cases Are All Trustees Ligble for Em- bezzlement by co-Trustee? BY THE COUNSELLOE. Three brothers, James, William and John Woods, were trustees of their father's estate. William actively man- aged the estate, and two others merely sicaed the semi-annual inventories. After two years William died, and the heirs, making an audit of the funds, discovered a shortage of $5,000. They brought suit against the surviving trus- tees, who defended themselves on the ground that they had no part in the looting, and were merely &u-lva in the administration of the estate. Their defense was of no avail, for the court, holding them liable, explained: “It is not necessary for the of establishing the liability of the sur- viving trustees to show their express consen} to the embezzlement. Where a trustee by his negligence allows his co-trustees to waste the estate, when he has means of preventing it by proper care, he is liable to the bene- ficiaries for the amount wasted.” Creamed Liver.

Many persons have the idea that screens are very expensive, and so they prefer to leave these useful pleces of furniture out of their homes. But consider how useful, as well as decorative, a_screen is, and see if you can really afford to be without one. In the dining room it enhances the attractiveness of the entire room, shut- ting out any view of the kitchen, and thus saving your guests some annoy- ance, In the living room it helps fill out a corner or separate a portion of the 1 room in which an independent group- ing of furniture may be placed. The bedroom is benefited by a screen, as it may conceal the bed and make a sitting room effect. Don% think that you have to pay a lot of money for one, although if you wish to you may. An ordinary screen foundation may be covered with striped wall paper or chintz (pasted in posi- tion) and decoration with floral motifs cut from paper and framed with passe- partout. BY MOLLIE HOLLYWOOD, Calif., November 1.— Contributing atmosphere to a picture in Hollywood sometimes consists in secur- ing certain types of ple, telling them to appear at the studio in their national costumes and then cranking the net results. Colonies of every conceivable nation- ality have clotted about Studioland. Perhaps most mteruun? of these is the Russian group. These live in a shabby part of town, called Boyle Heights. They contribute atmosphere to the ine numerable Russian stories which have been the vogue for pictures these last few years. From Boyle Heights come the tre- mendous and tortured faces that flash across the camera eye now and again— the haunted eyes, twisted lips, eloquent lines etched by the acid of a natien's torture, This Russian colony isn't full of star material. The potential star has a smoothness of countenance that be- speaks a smug existence. But while stars and potential stars were making close-ups in a Russian picture the other night T watched a group of Boyle Heights “atmosphere” players reacting to the congenial influence of a warm meal, the studio lights,. the gayety which numbers engenders in the sturdy middle and lower classes. A ring of Russians in astrakhan caps and vivid smocks fastened tightly about their swarthy throats sat in a circle, their brown hands smoothing the creases of boots that had grown shape- with much dancing.

Women with bright kerchiefs tied under their chins; full skirts, beneath which peeped worn red and green and blue leather boots, soft and shapeless; dancing feet. A man with an accordeon strikes up a tune. Into the circle springs a young Cossack. A boot dance begins. Wild cries go up. An insistent rhythm in the handclapping urges him on. A girl comes into the cleared space. She balances on the heels of her out-turned feet, hands on hips. Her head is thrown back and her eyes glow. The assistant director nudges his chief. They stroll toward the edge of the cir- cle. Watch the dance through.
