The mother who is planning to have 8 Christmas tree and who finds her supply of ornaments must be bought often has to do a good bit of calculat- ing in order to have enough for the tree to look gayly decked out. It is wise to begin to make some of the decorations now, or at least to lay aside articles that can be transformed into ornaments. It takes but fittle work and practically no outlay to make some of the articles." Big, sparkling glass ornaments can be fashioned from old electric light bulbs. Metal paint will supply a sheen or ordinary oil paint (house paint will do). varnished afterward. Or the paint| while wet can bp dusted with gold or silver “snow” in powdered form. Wire can be wound about the metal top of the bulb and brought up on two oppo- site sides. then twisted together and shaped into a hook by which to hang the ornament evenly from the tre. For these sparkling ornameénts old bulbs must be saved, and perhaps gathered from one’s friend to increase the supply. 5 Save tinfoil in any and all colors. It can be formed into balls of small or large size and a wire thrust and looped through them. The wire should have the other end made into.a hook to put over some twig of the tree. The foil can be cut into shreds for “snow” to be tossed over the branches and lie glit- tering and gay. Smart tassels can be fashioned ‘from Bpools‘and tissue paper. Put the spools into a dye pot or paint them with stain, €ye or peint. Have them of many colors for variety’s sake. These form holders for the tassel portions of narrow strips of tissue vaper. Cut these strips either 13 or 13 inch wide, which, when doubled through the center over a wire, leave strands 4, 6, 8 or more inches (Washington Irving, was an 783.

The hours seemed as if they would never creep by. The very ticking of the clock be- came irksome. At length the stiliness of the house was interrupted by the ringing of a bell.

The bigger the spool the longer the strands should be, of course. Tiny' spools for sewing Kits, or such as buttonhole twist comes on, can have double-tasseled ends, short and fluffy, coming from each side of the spool. In this case suspend the ornament by a bit of colored tape, very narrow, such as comes for tying up bundles, or by short lengths of baby ribbon, otherwise useless, or by fancy paper Christmas ribbon. Tie the ribbon or® tape about the spool where the silk was wound. leaving ends so long that they can be tied about twigs of the tree. It is not essential that these spools be colored, for they are concealed by the ribbon. Modernistic grape clusters or bunches of cherries can be made from fancy envelope linings. Put a wee ball or wad of cotton batting on a circle of lining paper, glue a length of string to the edge of the paper, touch the tip of the string with glue and press it on the wadding. Draw the paper edges Jjust touched with glue along the inside over the wad to form a ball as big as the size of the paper will permit. When these ball® have been made, gather the ends of string together, mak- ing big balls hang low and small ones high, like a bunch of grapes. Cut green crepe paper into grape leaf shape and wire to the top of the.bunch. Thrust a length of wire through the knotted string ends as a. fastener by which to suspend the grapes from tree branches. Wire hairpins can be used for all uses for wire mentioned. Many of these ornaments children can make, and they deiight in cutting and pasting narrow strips of fancy paper together to make gay chains t» fasten on trees. (Copyright, 1928.)

NANCY PAGE Best Thanksgiving Meal Is Traditional One. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. The Miller family was planning the | same sort_of Thanksgiving celebration | that the Pages had had the year be- fore. They were going to the famiy home of Lois’ mother. Here the Aston clan, the Dewstoe relations and the newest bride and_bridegroom in the family—Lois and Roger—would all sit down to an old-time Thanksgiving| dinner. They decided to serve the tradition- al meal of turkey, scalloped oysters, celery, mashed potatoes, mashed turnips, cranberry jelly, pickled peaches, cole slaw, pumpkin pie. Because there were s0 many young folks in the relation- ship they added ice cream as a second dessert. Roger hoped they would have minced pie, but Lois told him that be- longed in the Christmas menu. With the ice cream they needed cake P e CRES P el and Lois begged the privilege of taking that. She had an idea she wanted to work out. She used a regulation butter cake recipe tripling the amounts in order to get enough to bake in three large square pans. These layers were put together with a fig filling. The top was iced in chocolate. She counted the number of persons who would sit’'at-the tables. They were 36. She divided the cake into 36 squares, outlining each square with white icing. In each square she put the initials of the person for whom it was intended. To make initialing easier the used the little macaroni or paste alphabet letters. In some of the por- tions she had hidden fortunes. The cake was a great success. Socks.

D. C, MONDAY, Taft Met at a Bob-Sled Party BY J. P. GLASS. “THIS RIDE WAS THE BEGINNING OF A LOVE AFFAIR.” From all that one veads and hears of Mrs. William Howard Taft one gets the impression of a vibrant person, keen for living a full life and extremely happy that hers turned out to be that way. One Winter night, when she was Miss Helen Herron, 18-year-old daugh- ter of John Willlam Herron, a leading member of the Cincinnati bar, she went on a coasting party in Mount Auburn. Their fami- lies were acquainted, but somehow he and she had never met. Lately, of course, he had been a _tudent at Yale. ‘Will Taft asked her to take a ride on his bobsled. She accepted. This ride | was the beginning of a love affair that ;‘i;\xlted in their marriage in June, . Taft had studied law and been admitted to the bar. His great ambi- tion was a place on the bench. To have been a Supreme Court justice would Lave been heavenly in his sight. It is to be presumed, however, that Mrs Taft had other ideas which prevailed. She wished him to follow a career “in which his own initiative and originality C'Té“d be developed.” That is what he did. It is true that after he had served as solicitor oeneral under President Herrison he returned to Oincinnati to | occupy the United States Circuit bench, but that peageful existence did not en- dure. When Mr, Taft was asked by President McKinley to establish a civil governlent in the Philippines Mrs. Taft was all for his agreeing to do so. It meant departure from her friends, and she had three small children to con- sider, but she was whole-heartedly for the venture. “Old Rough and Ready” Zachary Taylor's wife went to war with him. Presumably, if Willlam Howard Taft had gone to war, Mrs. Taft would have been close by. She was ever at his side. 'This necessitated lots of travel- ing, too, for as Governor of the Philip- pines and later as Secretary of War and President he did more jaunting than any other statesman in the his- tory of the country. More and more as their lives pro- gressed did Mr. Taft engage in important works He sought and got his wife's counsel. It had the virtue of “eing sound, His" career nearly went awry in the Philippines. He suffered from stomach trouble that necessitated three opera- tions. The daughter, Ruth, had diph- .|theria, and in this same period Mrs. BEDTIME STORIE Taft's mother was in a critical condi- tion back in Cincinnati. These anxie- ties, coupled’ with her heavy cares as the governor's wife, almost caused a nervous collapse, but they made a trip home to the United States and she recovered. Mr. Taft had to return to the Philip- pines. A cholera epidemic was on, but back she went with him, accompanied by the three children. Then Mr. Taft was made Secretary of War, and they left the Islands for good. Soon Mr. Taft was being discussed as presidential timber. But a large man who isn't particularly eager to be Pres- ident isn't easy to steer toward the White House. Even the incumbent, Theotdore Roosevelt, \."o was keenly in favor of Mr. Taft succeeding him, had hours’ of discouragement. I’ seemed that “Will” was extremely -careless as to how he treated certain Western politicians, It was after talking with Mr. Roosevelt that Mrs. Taft urged her ‘| husband to show more enthusiasm. ‘Whether he did is not a matter of his- tory. But at any rate they moved into the White House on March 4, 1908. “I had been a member of Washing- ton's official family for years,” writes Mrs. Taft, “and knew as well as need be the various phases of the position I was about to assume, so my plans were not so difficult to put in form, however difficult I ma ve found them to put into execution. < She knew the Executive Mansion so well that she had a clear idea long before March 4 of changes in its serv- ice that she wished to make. She called |into consultation Maj. Archibald Butt, aide to Mr. Roosevelt, who was to con- tinue in the same capacity with Mr. Taft, and as a result the new regime was fully organized and in effect by the morning of March 5. After the inauguration Mr. Roosevelt broke a precedent by not escorting his successor to the White House. Mrs. Taft then did something no othor President’s wife had done—she rode back with her husband. That drive, she records, was “the proudest and happiest event of inau- ugration day,” which was, of course, ;il;e proudest and happiest event of her e. Her_actvie participation in Willlam Howard Taft's career ended with her assumption of the dr*'~~ of mistress of the White House. She was too busy to follow him. Mrs. Taft left the historic mansjon as pleasantly as she came. (Copyright, BY THORNTON W. BURGESS Buster Bear Is Tempted. Buster Bear, over in the Green Forest, had become very uneasy. Here it was getting along toward Winter and he was very far from having a satisfactory layer of fat under his black coat. He had tounted on beechnuts to help make that; layer of fat, and there had been no beechnuts, or almost none. He had counted on acorns to help make that layer of fat, and acorns had been very scarce. So Buster Bear was uneasy and he muttered to himself in his deep, rumbly-grumbly voice: “I don’t know what I'm going to do. I walk around so much looking for beechnuts and acorns that I walk off the fat as fast as I put it on. I shall l&;;ve !lo look around for something else eat.” So Buster began wandering far and wide. He went up on the big mountain and around it to the other side, far away from the Green Forest, near Far- mer Brown's. He is a good traveler, is Buster Bear, and h: can go a long way in a comparatively short time. Buster was looking for some place where there were beechnuts or acorns, or both. But he had no success. He would find a few here. and a few there, but never enough in one place to fill him up. So he kept moving. And all the time he was hungry. It happened one night that he came to the edge of a small farm. Buster as & rule sticks to the woods, He comes out in the open flelds after berries sometimes, but as a rule Buster wants to be where he is out of sight. So it isn't often that he leaves the shelter of the trees. This tim2 when he came to the edge of the open fields of this little farm ‘he started to go around, keeping just in the edge of the woods. At one point it was only a short distance from the edge of the woods to a pen made of logs. It was a pigpen. He could smell those pigs. As a matter of fact, it didn't take a nose as good as Buster’s to smell those pigs. Now, Buster had never tasted pigs. In fact, he had never been tempted to taste pig, for over in the Green Forest there were no pigs, and in the Green Forest he had had always plenty to eat without venturing t into farmyards. But Buster knew, without ever "having tasted, that pig made very good eating. So now he was tempted. He heard a little grunt and a faint squeal over there in the pigpen. It was very early in the morning and the pigs were just beginning to stir. Buster listened. And the more he listened and the more he smelled the more he was tempted to steal one of those pigs. “I've got to have something filling before long,” said Buster to himself. “The first thing I know Jack Frost will be bringing ice and snow, and l'lll h“i can' I to go to sleep for the Winter. sleep in anything like comfort unless I I wonder how many pigs there are over in that pen.

There was no smoke coming from the chimney yet. Then Buster looked long and hard at the pigpen. If he approached that | pen from a certain point, the barn would be between the pen and the house. Buster went around to that cer- tain point. Then he stood up and Iooked again. He couldn't see the house, so, of course, no one a‘ the house could see him. Slowly he dropped down to all four feet. Then he began to walk straight toward that pigpen. “I'll just have a look at those pigs, that's all,” grumbled Buster.

November 26, 1856.—A “large, bril-| liant and highly delighted” audience | was present at the National Theater to- | night to see the “Naiad Queen,” ac- cording to dramatic critics of the locul‘ press who attended the performance. | “The opinion was universal,” says the | critic of The Evening Star in an article which will appear in tomorrow after- noon's edition, “that nothing in the least approximating to the imperial magnificence and exquisite beauty of | this spectacle-piece has ever before | been exhibited 1n Washington. “The marches and evolutions, the tableaux, songs, dances transforma- tions, etc, with which the piece abounds were all superbly rendered, leaving nothing to be desired on the part of the spectator.” Attention was called in the press to- day to the assessment or poll lists which have been posted in various | places throughout the city, as the law requires. Many names of old residents | and housekeepers have been omitted, | but it is supposed that these omissions are purely accidental. | It is most important for all those who desire to vote at the city election next June to examine these lists, each in his | own ward. Those finding their names | omitted can have the error corrected | by the Board of Assessors, who will commence their sessions about the mid- dle of next week. Those of the omitted | who neglect to attend to this matter will find themselves deprived of their votes next June, even though they may have been born in Washington and may have been voters and housekeepers here for 20 or more years past. It is expected that the notice to the | public regarding the importance of hav- ing one's name on these lists will result, in numerous applications to the Board of Assessors for corrections and addi- tions to the lists.

Chapped hands are so uncomfortable that no one should ever have them. They're not necessary, and why suffer unnecessary discomfort? There are enough Wintertime distomforts we can’t do anything about. If your work dries out the hands so the skin becomes rough, then you must rub them every night with a cream. If this is not enough to keep them soft and smooth, you must wear white cot- ton gloves over them, leaving the cream on all night. Or, if you do your own housework, you must smear them with lard or cold cream or olive oil, pull on rubber gloves and keep them fairly im- mersed in this oiliness for a good hour each day. All this is old advice. So is my sug- gzmon that you buy any one of the oney or almond combinations on_the market and use it faithfully.
