For the woman whose hips are wide in pro- portion to the shoulders the frock with- out sleeves is much more becoming if there is some sort of shoulder drapery to give width above. If our plump friend whose back view is shown in the sketch took off her cocktail jacket and put on instead a deep lace collar that extended over the shoulders and in an oval line part way down the back, she would look ever so much better. ‘This week’s help for the home dress- maker consists of a pattern for a cross- stitched chicken, the design used for centuries by the expert needlewomen in Assisi, Italy, to decorate children’s frocks and table linen. It is not at all difficult as the quaint outlines of the chicken are worked out entirely by the arrangement of the cross-stitches and the black outlining that goes about them.

Text: “And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel; and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines,”—] Samuel iv.2. Israel was all the time being smitten before the Philistines. The Philistines gave them more trouble than all the other Canaanite breeds put together— the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite. These were tribesmen scattered in_the pigeonholés of Pales- tine. The Philistines were the high- brows of the land. It was from_ them that Palestine took its name, for Pales- tine is the Greek for Philistia. Yes, I know we have been accus- tomed to thinking of them as also only rough tribesmen. But now Palestine historians tell us that they possessed a, high order of culture, at least accord- ing to the standards of their time. Some scholars believe that to them we owe the origin of our alphabet. And it was not the numerous breeds of Canaanites who put up the greatest resistance against the Hebrews in their efforts to conquer Canaan, but these cultured and respectable Philistines. Herein is a parallel to the battle going on in society today. It is not against the crimes of the gutter, terrible as those may be, that society wages its hardest battle; but against the crimes of respectability—gossip, jealousy, envy, malice, false pride, hypocrisy, injustice, uncharitable judgment, lying, bitter- ness, hot temper, selfishness, spite, in- gratitude, treachery and a host of others, It is from this army of respectability that the greatest sorrows come to so- DAILY DIET RECIPE Caulifiower au Gratin.

Uncle Peter caught Joan just in time. The Page family had had chicken for dinner, and Joan, out of the goodness of her heart, was handing a chicken bone to the Christmas dog which Peter had received. “No, Joan, not that bone. Never give a chicken bone to a dog. Sometimes we will let him have a good big bone to worry around with, but never a splintery one. Remember.” And Joan promised to do so. She was so fond of the little Scottie that she was ready to do anything Peter said. He had been studying the care of dogs and came home one night all full of it. Nancy listened with an interested, albeit a trifle, amused air. When she had been so particular with the diet of baby Peter, the husband, had scoffed and asked how they ever raised babies before they knew about orange and to- mato juice and spinach puree. too’;!m he knew examl¥l u:l‘:;“b: kind né a young puppy s! ve an seemed {o thng gpmlde a real differ- ence in its health.

Solving the Marriage Problem. Calls Congeniality Tie That Binds. TH! ability of two people to get along together is just as much a personal idiosyncrasy as whether they can eat certain foods or not. There are those to whom shellfish is poisonous. ‘Others on whom strawberries bring out a rash. Still others who grow dyspeptic on bread and butter. It is the same with husbands and wives. The very qualities that one man may find agreeable in a wife irritate another husband to the point of madness. very things that one woman loves a man for may get on another woman's nerves. We have abundant proof that the happiness of a marriage depends on whether & man and woman are temperamentally suited to_each other, in the fact that so many second marriages are happier than the first ones were. We have all seen men who during a first wife's lifetime were surly, grouchy, stingy, ill-conditioned brutes, turn into jovial, good-natured, liberal husbands Ww! lavished every luxury on their second wives with an open hand. We have seen men who were roamers, who never went home until every otheér place was closed up under the regime of Mrs. No. 1, become as domestic as the house cat under the sway of Mrs. No. 2, and.we have wondered whether it was remorse for the way they treated their first wives that caused them to be such model husbands to their second wives. In reality, the explanation is to be found In the fact that, at last, they have found wives who rubbed their fur the right way instead of the wrong way and who knew how to handle them. Possibly the dear, dead ladies out in the cemeteries regarded matrimony as a reformatory institution and felt it their sacred duty to remind their husbands continually of what poor, weak, faulty creatures the{: were. Or perhaps they nagged their husbands for their own good. Or perhaps they were sensitive creatures who kept their feelings spread all over the place and were always bursting into tears, or going round like early Christian martyrs because their husbands had trampled upon their tender sensibilities. . PR Tl!l new wives make no claim to sainthood. They are just cheerful fellow sinners who enjoy a good time and get a kick out of all sorts of amuse- ments, 50 they pal up with their husbands. Or they are not particularly good housekeepers, so they don’t have a fit every time & man tramps in mud or disarranges the sofa cushions. Or they know how to jolly a man along and make him feel that he is the biggest, bravest, most w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-1 creature in the world, and that he has found a woman who can appreciate him. Same n{ with women. We have all seen peevish, fretful, discontented women who biossom out in a second marriage into bes who are ardent advocates of the holy estate. And it is because the second husband is peaches and cream to them instead of caviar, s ‘The first husband may have been a better man than the second husband, but he was cold and starved the woman for love, while the second husband bestows caresses and tenderness upon her. The first husband may have been fault-finding, whereas the second husband jollies her, and tells her how beautiful she is, and what a marvelous housekeeper. She may have had to wheedle chiffon velvet frocks out of a tightwad first husband, but the second husband lavishes cotton upon her, and she would rather have the poor free gift than the begrudged fine one. ‘Having the same faults and weaknesses as others makes us wondrous kind to them. To the man who loves society and to put up a good front, it does not seem such a heinous weakiness of character for his wife to want to dress well and step out of an evening.

Massage for wrinkles under the eyes is more valuable when the creases have just begun to appear than later when the skin has become - crepelike and baggy. In the latter case massage must | be very gentle so as not to stretch the skin. Astringent compresses made of be | clean, absorbent cotton moistened with witch hazel are helpful in tightening the skin after a massage with a food cream. In beginning any sort of facial mas- sage, the skin is first cleansed and then a massage cream is spread on. Place both hands on your forehead, fingers together and meeting in the center, palms in. Draw the hands apart in a stroking motion until the fingers are resting on the temples. Now, with the index finger of each hand, rotate under each eye gently four times. the fifth count the fingers are on each side of the nose at the bridge. Now draw them upward and outward to the hair- line in & V-shape (Fig. 1). This move- ment is good for smoothing out wrin- kles beneath the eyes and across the forehead. Repeat four times, ‘To massage away the frown lines be- tween the eyes, stretch the skin smooth between the thumb and index finger of one hand and give a rotary, upward massage with the first finger of the other hand. Repeat four times. (Fig. 2.) For “crow’s-feet” repeat the massage at the temple, stretching the skin with | one hand and other. It must be remembered that most eye wrinkles are avoidable. They are fre- quently due to uncorrected defects in vision or to nervous habits that need not be tolerated. Frowning and creas- ing the skin at the corners of the eye do not really help one to see any bet- massaging with the ter or to think more deeply. Such habits soon destroy the beauty of the eyes and make them prematurely old. Usually when the skin around the eyes is badly wrinkled it is also dis- colored and & bleaching cream or lo- tion is needed. The bleach should be patted on before the massage and should be left on overnight. A iemon bleaching éream that is easily prepared | has the following ingredients: One-half ounce white wax, one-half ounce sper- maceti, two ounces lanolin, two ounces lemon juice (strained), two ounces | sweet ofl, two drams tincture benzoin, | five drops perfume. Melt the wax, spermaceti and lanolin in a double boiler or in & jar set in a pan of water. Mix in the oll and remove from the fire. Slowly beat in the other ine gredients, adding the perfume last. Pour into jars to cool, then cover tightly when cold. The mixture may be thinned with more oil or thickened with more wax if desired. (Copyright, 1929.) WORLD FAMOUS STORIES THREE SUNDAYS IN A WEEK BY EDGAR (Edgar Allan Poe, 1800-1849, Americap poet and story-write is world' famous for such_tale Murders in_the Rue Morgue Fall of the House of Usher, M? old porpoise of a grand uncle Rumgudgeon was sitting with his feet on the mantelpiece as I opened the drawing-room door. "‘X Il: sure, my dearest uncle,” T sald, all the time thinking him a confounded old rascal, “that you have no design really, seriously, to oppose my marrying Kate. Your opposition is merely 8 joke of yours—but we want to know if you won't set a precise time for our nion.” % “Exact time is what you want, is it? All right—let me see, today’s Sunday— well, then, you shall be married pre- clsely when three Sundays come to- gether in a week!” ‘Uncle thought he had me there. In- deed, I thought so myself, and was cast into a fit of gloom because of it. But the fates ordered it that among the naval acquaintances of my betrothed were two gentlemen who had just set foot in England after a year's absence each in foreign travel. Together with these gentlemen. Kate and 1 prear- ranged to meet with my uncle on Sun- day afternoon, three weeks after the day when my bright hopes had been so_cruelly shattered. We saw to it that the conversation finally got around to the topic which we wished most of all to discuss. Both navigators had been absent an exact year each, really a most fortunate coin- cidence, as they themselves remarked in bringing up the subject. It was further brought out that one went around by Cape Horn, the other by Cape of Good Hope. That is, one went east and the other went west, both completely going around the earth. “Capt. Pratt,” I said, “you must come and spend the evening with us tomorrow—you and Smitherton—you can tell us about your voyage and we can have a game of whist, and—-" “Whist, my dear fellow,” exclaimed Pratt. “You forget. Tomorrow is Sunday.” “Today’s Sunday!” interposed Kate. “To be sure,” sald my uncle. “Don’t I know that today is Sunday?” - “What are you all talking about?” said Capt. Smitherton at this point. Wasn't yesterday Sunday,»I should like to know?” The argument waxed warm until Kate offered an explanation. “I see it all,” she said. “It is a judgment for a certain jest. Capt. Smitherton says that yesterday was Sunday; so it was, he is right. Bobby and his uncle and I say that today is Sunday; so it is; we are right. Capt. Pratt maintains that tomorrow is Sunday; so it will be; he is right also. The fact is, we are all right, and so three Sundays have come together in one week!” “Well, Pratt, Kate has us complete- ly,” said Smitherton. “What fools we are! Mr. Rumgudgeon, the matter stands like this. The earth, you know, is 24,000 miles in circumference. Now this globe of the earth turns upon its was ‘an ., He ALLAN POE own axis—revolves—spins round—these 24,000 miles of extent, going from west to east, is precisely 24 hours. Do you understand, Mr. Rumgudgeon?” “To be sure, to be sure,” sald my uncle. “Well, sir,” Smitherton went on, “that is at the rate of 1,000 miles per hour. Now, suppose that I sail from this position 1,000 miles east. Of course, I get ahead of the sun here at London by just one hour. I see the sun rise one hour before you do. Proceeding in the same direction yet another 1,000 miles, I anticipate the risi of the sun by two hours—another 1,000, and I an- ticipate it by three hours, and so on, until I go entirely around the globe and back to this spot, when, having gone 24,000 miles east, I anticipate the rising of the London sun by no less than 24 hours; that is to say, I am a day in advance of your time. Under- stand, en?” “Capt. Pratt, on the contrat “Capt. on the contrary,” said Smitherton, speaking very loud to drown my uncle’s voice, “when he had sailed 1,000 miles west of this position was an hour later, and when he had sailed 24,000 miles west was 24 hours later, or one day behind the time at London. Thus, with me, yesterday was Sunday— thus, with you, today is Sunday—and thus, with Pratt, tomorrow will be Sun- day. And what is more, Mr. Rum- gudgeon, it is positively clear that we are all right, every one of us—for there can bhe no philosophical reason as- signed why the idea of one of us should have preference over that of the other.” Now, my granduncle was, of all things, an obstinate gentleman. Hav- ing once opposed my marriage to Kate, he would stick by it. Indeed, had we chosen not to be married, he would married at once! But he had his weaknesses, too. ‘There was a bizarre old womanish su- perstition which beset him. He was great in dreams, portents, and so on. He was excessively punctilious, too, upon small points of honor, and, after his own fashion, was.a man of his word, beyond doubt. Being a man of his word, was, in fact, one of his hobbies. irit of his vows he made no scruple setting at naught, but the letter was & bond in- violable. Now, it was of this latter pe- culiarity in his disposition which Kate's ingenuity, this fine Sunday afternoon, enabled us to take unexpected ad- vantage. “My eyes!” exclaimed my uncle, at the conclusion of this verbal demon- stration that, beyond all his reasonable expectations, three Sundays had indeed, by a strange coincidence, come together in one week. But my uncle was not & man to be Ittle in defeat. “Well, Kate,” he said, and “well, Bobby—this is a judgment upon me, as you say. But I am a man of my mark that!
