32 Fancy WOMAN'’S PAGE.' Knit or Crocheted Garters BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. DAINTY GARTERS MAKE ATTRACTIVE CHRISTMAS GIFTS. Among the accessories that have found favor for gifts in the past few years are garters. No longer are they the prezaic articles of a generation ago, being useful without the ornamental element. Today they are as dainty and attractive as any of milady’s other ap- pointments of costume. Those who are acquainted with the history of costuming will remember that narrow bands of knitting about 1 inch wide and a yard or more long were the garters of olden times. Be- cause of this use of plain knitting stitch, the name “garter stitch” was given to it, and the term has continued through the years. The inherent elas- ticity of knitting was the reason why garters were fashioned from knitted strips, and it is this same reason that is responsible for the type of modern garters under discussion today. These may be of ordinary knitting or they may be of crochet, a similar craft worked with a single ncedle. To adjust the old-time garters the long band of knitting was wound sev- eral times quite tightly about the stock- inged leg, and then the end was tucked under the coil, concealing it and fasten- ing the garter at one and the same time. To adjust the modern knitted or crocheted garters no such process is needed. They are slipped over the feet and drawn up like any round garter, for underneath is an ordinary garter of silk or cotton woven rubber banding. The characteristic of elasticity is com- mon to knitting, crocheting and “garter elastic,” making handicraft combine well with the machine weaving. Those who are busy making Christ- mas gifts can add these knit or cro- cheted covered fancy garters to their list of attractive articles. One of the daintiest styles is of filet crochet, using BEDTIME STORIE Rusty the Fox Squirrel, sitting in a little tree beside a fence on the Green Meadows, was desperate. Below him, grinning up at him, was Reddy Fox. Far away in the sky was a_black spot, which Rusty knew to be Redtail the Hawk. With all his might Rusty hoped that at that distance Redtail couldn’t see him. But that hope didn’t last long. That black spot was becoming larger and larger. Redtail was heading in that direction. In a few moments there was no doubt that he saw Rusty. Now, wasn't that a terrible position for any squirrel to be in? If that had been a big tree, it would have been a very different matter. Then there 7t I" / t would have been some chance for Rusty to dodge Redtail. But this was a small tree—a very small tree. The trunk of it wasn't big enough for even a chip- munk to dodge around. It really looked as if all that Redtail would have to do would be to pick Rusty right out of that tree. Yes, sir, that is the way it Jocked! Reddy Fox, down below, hardly knew whether to be pleased or otherwise at the arrival of Redtail. He certainly didn't want Redtail to catch Rusty. On the other hand, unless Rusty should come down out of that tree, there was e that he (Reddy) would ch him. Perhaps if Red- tail should swoop at him it might scare Rusty into jumping. Reddy looked up ail “swinging in circles right tree and grinned. some one is going to have a Squirrel dinner pretty soon now, and 1 hope that I am that some one,” said Reddy to himself. Meanwhile, poor Rusty was trying to ake up his mind what to do. For the “T hate gossip, but as long as they're knitting silk for the medium. The cro- cheting must be worked with a loose tension to accommodate the give of the round garter it is to cover. The best way to crochet the cover is to make it in tube shape. By ending each row with a slip stitch and starting each new row as if the first at the beginning of the work, this will be found as simple as making one strip and seaming it together. The disad- vantage of the strip style is that it has to be seamed to form the tube through which to run the elastic. Unless the stitches are elastic also, the cover will be taut where the seam comes. How- ever, if the worker prefers the strip crocheting, and exercises care in the seaming, the result can be satisfactory. The strip must be twice the width of the garter elastic. Openwork knitting can be used with the same results in either the round or flat knitting. Solid crochet or plain garter knitting can be used,” in which case a cotton garter elastic is all that is needed, for it will be entirely con- cealed. In the filet or drop stitch knit- ting it is wise to use silk elastic garters, as the weave shows throuch the open- work. - The knit or crocheted covers will outlast the elastic bands, and can be used for several pairs of garters. This makes them decidedly economical for fancy garters. Flat crocheted flowers make delight- ful trimming for the garters. The flowers should be small. Fancy cro- cheted or knit ornaments are equally good. Tiny rosettes of ribbon or fancy metal buckles are other ornaments sug- gested. A pair of these garters is a gift that has the appeal of beauty and also of usefulness. (Copyright, 192 BY THORNTON W. BURGESS time being Redtall was the most dan- or even on ept moving he was reasonably: from Reddy Fox. But he wasn't safe from Redtail. Red- tail could pick him right out of that tree or right off the fence. He kept his eyes fixed on Redtail. He saw Red- tail start to swoop. Rusty made a fly- ing leap to the top rail of that old fence. And how he did race along it! Redtail had to stop himself and once more get into position to swoop. Mean- whilz, Reddy ¥ox went racing along be- low. Reddy's eyes sparkled with ex- citement. This_was sport! At least, it was sport to Reddy. Redtail screamed angrily and once more shot down toward Rusty. When do you think Rusty did this time? He just whirled right around to the under side of that rail, and there he clung. There was nothing for Redtall to seize. 1t was done so quickly that it took Reddy Fox by surprise, and before Reddy could jump, Rusty had once more whisked up to the other side of the rail, while Redtail the Hawk was beating his way up in the air for an- other swoop. It was a desperate game. Yes, in- deed, it was a desperate game! No one realized it more fully than did Rusty. But he wouldn't give up. No, sir, he meant to try just as long as there was any chance at all. He raced along an- other rail and up on top of the next fence post. He had just time for a hasty look ahead. Then Redtail came swooping down once more. This time Rusty dodged around the old post. There were some thick bushes right in there, and Reddy Fox had no room to jump. So once more Redtail was fooled and once more Reddy Fox snapped his jaws in vain, But this time, when Rusty once more was on top of the fence post, he was not altogether without hope. That hasty look he had given before had discovered something. Yes, sir, it had discovered something that gave him a teeny-weeny bit of hope. “I'll beat them yet!” sald Rusty to himself. “Yes, sir, “I'll beat them yet!” (Copyright, 1928.) A Sermon for Today BY REV. JOHN R. GUNN. Will You Succeed? Text—"“Thou shalt have good suc- cess."—Joshua, 18. Let's be specific. Let's consider the question, not in relation to life in gen- eral but with regard to the particular enterprise which you are just now planning to launch. Is that enterprise | going to be & success or a failure? 1 do not profess to be a prophet nor the son of a prophet, but I believe 1 can answer the question for you. As- suming that you possess average ability and that you have used average com- mon sense in determining upon your undertaking, I can see no reason why you should not put it across. Others are putting things across right along, and why should you not do it? You can if you have the will and persist- ence to hold on. It all depends upon just that as to whether you are going to succeed or not. Consider this from the writings of Maltbie Davenport Babcock: ‘“One of the commonest mistakes, and one of the costliest, is thinking that success is due to some genius, some magic— comething or other which we do not possess. Success is generally due to holding on, and failure to letting go. You decide to learn a language, study music, take a course of reading, train yourself physically. Will it be success or failure? It depends upon how much pluck and perseverance that word ‘de- cide’ contains. The decision that noth- ing can overrule, the grip that nothing can detach, with bring success.” Success is not so much a question of genius; it i more a question of grit.

They decide what products they would like to try, and as most of the firms offer a trial package for 10 cents, the children have many things from which to select. They use their own money for this, so they decide carefully what they really most want. They always submit their choice to me before send- ing for anything, for undoubtedly they might occasionally make an unwise se- lection. They are learning real values and worth-while products from this way of shopping and having lots of fun, too. (Copyright, 1928.) THE DAILY HOROSCOPE Tuesday, November 6. Astrologers read tomorrow as one of the rarely lucky days in the calendar of the year, for many benefic aspects prevail, For persons who occupy positions in the sun the greatest good fortune is indicated. There is a sign supposed to threaten some sort of last minute newspaper boomerang on election day when the vote will be much heavier than it has been in recent national contests for power. Neptune is in an aspect menacing and uncertain in its trend. The evening is, like the earlier hours of the day, most auspicious for men who have attained success. Education now assumes a place of even greater importance than in the p:iqlt, or methods are to change radi- cally. The public is to be instructed as never before in ideas making for real progressive development, 1 seers prophesy. New demands for entertainment will cause the introduction of many novel amusements in the coming winter, it is foretold. Men and women will continue to avold the sort of thinking that leads them to face unpleasant facts, astrolo~ gers foretell, and for this reason there will be continued longing for diversion. Honors for women are indicated at this time when new leaders are to be recognized. Persons whose birth date it is have the augury of a year that should be beneficial to health and pocketbook. Retirement to pleasant resorts or rest- ing places is indicated for persons past middle age. Children born on that day probably will be happy in finding just the right riches in life. The subjects of this sign of Scorpio are often devoted to hu- manity and able to render great service to the human race. (Copyright, 1928.) Onions au Gratin. Peel the thin outer skin from small regular size Spanish or Bermuda onions and boil them in clear water until ten- der. If the onions are strong, change the water once during the cooking, then drain and place them in a baking dish, leaving enough room around them for the sauce, which is merely a well made rather rich white sauce, to which is added just as it is removed from the fire two or three tablespoonfuls of | 2! grated cheese. When this has melted, pour the sauce over the onions and sprinkle the surface of the dish with fine dry bread crumbs that have been browned delicately in butter. Scatter grated cheese and paprika also over the dish and bake for about 20 minutes in a moderately hot oven. l&ol»;sus Pecan Pie. Mix one cupful of sugar with two tablespoonfuls of flour, two eggs slightly beaten and one tablespoonful of butter and beat all together. Add three-fourths cupful of dark sirup, one- fourth cupful of crtam or milk, more butter and half a teaspoonful of nut- meg. Mix well and stir in one cupful of broken pecans. Pour into an un- baked crust and bake for 20 minutes, or until set, in a moderate oven. How Wives See Their Husbands. DorothyDix( Ezplains Some Points of Difference. “No Man Really Wants His Wife to Be Frank With Him,” Says Writer. “The More She Fools Him the Better He Likes It.” A people there is.’ WOMAN sald to me the other day: “I have a funny old colored cook who said to me not long ago: ‘Husbands are the most undiscovered nation of “That's true, and it goes for all men. Men are, and always will be, an undiscovered nation to women. - There are things about the masculine psychology that no feminine mind can grasp, , and the strangest thing about men and the hardest to understand is that they like to have women cajole them, deceive and lie to them, a d that it is practically impossible for a woman to deal frankly, honestly and aboveboard even with her own husband. He simply won't put up with it. «1 know that all men will rise up en masse and deny this statement. Nevertheless, it is the plain, unvarnished truth. “What makes it more mysterious to women is that men like other men who are frank, honest and aboveboard, but they won't stand for that kind of conduct in a woman. “Of course, every girl has to live a life of decelt, 5o far as men are concerned, it she expects to have any ine attention and get married. She has to pretend to be flattered and overjoyed .at the attentions of every man who comes along, no matter what sort of chump he is, and to smirk at senile old grandpas who think they are still lady-killers. “She has to affect to believe that hobbledehoy schoolboys are blase men of the world of whose Machlavellian fascination she is afraid. She has to seem simply enthralled at the conversation of bores, and look as if she could dance forever with clodhoppers that step on her feet and tear her gown. “For somewhere among the world of men is the one man that she can love and hopes to marry, and only by being gracious to all men does she have a chance to get the one her heart desires. But the girl hates and loathes all of this double dealing, and one of the joys that she looks forward to in marriage is in being able to be perfectly honen.ung fl;mls with her husband. “I KNOW that is the way I started out in married life, and I got the jar of my life when I found out that if diplomacy and finesse were useful before marriage, they are absolutely necessary after marriage. Now, my husband is one of the finest men in the world. He is intelligent, kindly, generous, big and honest and strong, and it never even occurred to me that he wouldn't want me to consider on that platform. a rational human being and myself another and to deal with him “On the contrary, I find that he does not want me to be frank with him. He wants me to act like a hypocrite and a baby, and the bigger fool I am the better he likes it. That's what I can't understand about a sensible man. “For instance, take the money question. He's as open-handed as the day. He wants me to have all that we can afford, and more. He knows that I am not extravagant and can be trusted to spend money wisely, and yet he will not make me any allowance. I can have what money I need, but I must ask for it every time, though surely it would be Jess trouble to give me a check every month than to dole out a few dollars every day. “The reason he and nearly every other husband does it is that his wife's having to come to him for every penny is the open acknowledgment of her dependence on him, the visible tribute to his lordship. That's a funny vanity in a big man that a woman can’t comprehend. “Also, I learned that if I particularly want anything done, I mustn’t come out flatfooted and ask for it. I must first gently and insidiously sow the seed, and then come back and reap. I don't, for instance, say, ‘I think we had better send Bob to Harvard’; I drag Harvard University into the conversation a few times, then I say to my husband one day, ‘I have been thinking over what you sald about Harvard, and I guess you are right, as usual, and that you had bétter send Bob there.” ‘Of course,’ replies my lord and master, ‘I suppose some day you will learn to have confidence in my judgment!” s e e 31 FIND it expedient to get out the brass instruments and sound the cymbals of great joy over my husband’s generosity when he buys a new chair or gives me a new dress or the money to go off on a trip, although in reality I hold that every wife and mother who does her duty by her family earns all she gets. “I have likewise learned to pick my times and seasons for making the necessary family requests for money and indulgences, because whether the children and I get what we want or not depends not upon the reasonableness and justice of our petition, but upon whether we ask before dinner or after, or whether it has been a good day or bad at the office. “Nor do I withhold the jolly; I spread the flattery with a lavish hand; for observation has shown me that when a wife falls to tell her husband that he is the handsomest, smartest and strongest man in the world, some other woman will, and that he will follow the voice of the charmer.

Piquancy. Modern sophistication with its tend- ency toward classic simplicity studi~ ously avoids coquettishness. But the new fémininity is often characterized by piquancy—such as is shown in the little Agnes hat above. Its rippling brim, which makes a becoming wavy frame for the sides of the face, turns up in front to preserve the over-the- eye line. The effect of the softened brim is a very desirable one for many types of faces. (Copyright, 1928.) NANCY PAGE Well Ripened Bananas Are in Modern Dietaries, BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Nancy had on her new, close-fitting hat with its helmet line, her smart black satin dress and her silver fox fur. She was a woman with polse, health and chic.

The signs of suffering abound, and there is sorrow all around and I would gladly help relieve the stricken ones who weep and grieve. But I am finding it so hard to pay the butcher for his lard, the grocer for his boneless prunes, the tallor for his pantaloons; I must be deaf to human ills—it keeps me broke to pay my bills”” The Red Cross people send him word how all the Nation has been stirred by tidings of disaster dire, of flood or famine, storm or fire; won't he dig up like other gents?

A skin that is extremely dry is not its proper functions. Because it is un- duly sensitive and tends to crack and peel it does not protect the sensory nerve endings adequately and it does not conserve the natural warmth of the body as it should. People with rough, dry skins feel the cold more than those whose skins are lubricated with natural oil. A little oil or cold cream rubbed on the body after your bath at | bedtime, when the skin is dry, will help to keep you warm at night. Dryness of the skin makes the hands stay rough, so that it is hard to keep them clean. Cheeks, nose and chin look flakey and it is impossible to apply make-up smoothly. The condition often extends to the scalp, the hair being wiry and unmanageable. Sometimes this unnatural dryness is due to a de- ficiency in the thyroid gland, so that of skin of this type—protection and a physiclan’s advice is required in ad- dition to local treatments. ‘There are two points in the local care MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. cleansing. It is essential to protect the skin of the face and neck with oily foundation cream and powder befors you venture outdoors. The skin of the hands must also be covered with a pro= tective coating of hand lotion. Since it is inconvenient to use an oily lotion for this purpose in the day time, a jelly or greaseless preparation may be rubbed cn, Here is a recipe that is particularly good: Two drams white gum tragacanth, half ounce glycerin, half dram tincturs | of benzoin, half dram powdered borax, half dram white rose sextract, four ounces rose water. Two drams of cos logne water may be used to thin the mixture if desired. Soak the gum in the rcsq water until soft. Dissolve the borax in the glycerin. Now blend tha. ingredients together, adding the benzoin last drop by drop. At bedtime an oily food cream should be massaged into the hands and left on all night. Besides protection, the dry skin needs careful cleansing. Soap and water should be used very sparingly. Their place may be taken by a special cleans+ ing oil or a good cleansing cream. The former may be made of two ounces oil f of benne, half ounce oil of sweet almonds, two drams cologne water, five drops tincture of benzoin.

These patches become horny if left alone. Sometimes there are freckle-like spots on the backs of the hands or on the face that per- sist all the year round. These are some= times called “age spots” because they often appear on the hands of elderly or old people who have neglected to care for their skin. Food creams will help to remedy these spots or patches, but if they are stubborn or of long standing it is sometimes necessary to have elec~ tric treatments to remove them. (Copyright, 1928.) WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO BY MEHRAN K. THOMSON. “No?” is your first reaction to the announcement that your favorite team has lost. You do this as a stall. The news is undesirable. You had hoped and expected the opposite result, and therefore are not prepared. You need time to gather your thoughts and to get used to defeat. Sometimes it is not an easy matter to make these adjust ments.” It may involve the loss of money or of pride or of prestige. In any case you don’t want to believe it. ‘The next thing you do is to question the source of the information in the hope that it is a mistake. This is why we invariably use the expression “Who told you?” when we hear something that is undesirable or incredible. In either case the statement does not fit in with our ideas, our wishes and our prejudices. The statement “Who told you?” also questions the authority of the person making the pronouncement. Without meaning to be insulting, we are vir- tually calling our informant a liar, or at least we question his knowledge of the matter if not his veracity. ' Thus while we all use the expression “Who told you?" we dislike to have it used against us. A professor who was being constantly challenged by the statement “What is your authority for that?” finally retorted in his exasperation: “D— it, I'm authority myself.” That is just about how we all feel when we hear the familiar expression “Who told you?” Nevertheless, we keep on asking others the same question when what they say is not to our liking or is too strange or too good to be true.
