Hearts, Festival for St. Valentine BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. ¢ THE HEARTS, MADE AND RELEASED, ARE AN IMPORTANT FEATURE OF ‘THE FESTIVITIES. ‘Those who entertain during the week in Which Valentine's day comes, as well as those who give genuine valentine arties, will no doubt includes features Suggestive of the season. It is the time when hearts are trumps, and they are very much in evidence. They are givcn the place of prominence in the Testivities. Hearts are said to flutter under stress of pleasant excitement. It will be by fluttering -hearts, therefore,.that partners will be found for dancing cards, for supper or for a game in which partners should work together. From red and white paper cut as many hearts as there are persons to be present. Use tissue paper. By folding the paper a whole string of hearts can be cut at one time. Separate them and write duplicate numbers on the two sets. In addition to these num- bered hearts, cut a score or more of smailer hearis of various colors. Put them in a square of red tissue paper. Gather the corners together and tie with white ribbon or crepe paper cut into a strip. Fasten this container to the chandelier or hang it from the top of a doorway. Start the party by having hearts flutter to the floor. Provide one person with a fan, with which to fan the bag. Use a circular motion. When the breeze 4s strong the hostess cuts the bag, and the hearts, like thistle down, will fly ;nd circle about before landing on the loor. Each person tries to gather as many small hearts as possible, and one red if a boy, or one white if a girl. No one should pick up more than one of the larger hearts. When all the hearts have been gathered up those who have red and white hearts with identical numbers are partners. By courmng the number of small vari-colored hearts each person picked up, a fortune-telling e!ement. comes into the entertainment. The sum indicates the number of months before the per- son will get married. After this separate counting of the hearts, each couple sums up the total of combined numbers. The partners having the h.rmt number should be g:*nrdegna ith’ candy mfl' Xes Wi w the things. Give each person the five letters in the word "hen.rc " These can be capi- tals cut from the newspaper. Sizes do not h.:ve to be alike. Each player is asked to make as many words as pos- sible from the letters between heart beats. These are given by striking a bell, one to start, two and three fol- lowing at intervals of one minute each. ‘When the third heart beat is given every one must stop working. ‘There are at leut 30 familiar words, none proper names, in this one word, and if you give hearts instead of heart there are innumerable others. A prize should be awarded to the player get- g most words in the given time. The e is called “What’s in Your Heart?” Refreshments should feature nurtl Sandwiches and cakes can be cu heart shape. Slices of hmed men l\so can be cut with a ), heart-shaped cutter. Salad can be dotted with wee hearts cut from beets. Ices can be molded in heart shape or slices can be cut with a heart cookie cutter. This must be plungzd into cold water each time it is used. The Daily Cross Word Puzzle (Copyright, 1929.) 1.

Given that, the rest matters very little. With- out it you're under a handicap. There is the charm of man and that of woman.

She ducked the kind of paraphernalia that went along with Mom and Queen Vic- toria. She's some boy, that's all. But the men seem to be trying to get square with us, the way they doll up.

Now that's just it. ‘The moment a girl wants to look like -kxlmn, the man wants to resemble a girl. A woman's real charm is something silent, passive. It's the sign of what she is. You can’t rub it ‘on with a lipstick or powder puff. No, for it's her real nature as woman, coming to the surface like blood to the cheek. Man’s genuine charm consists in what he says and does. It's some- thing active. It is like the splendid activities of knights in the days of chivalry. It doesn't depend upon the slick * ul'or or the smooth barber. I wish that men could see that. It's on the charm side that men are weak. They are short on gallantry. Girls may be making a mistake in trying to get some masculine charm of appearance, but the men are even more in_error. ‘These men must brace up, for we are stealing their stuff. ‘must_get a 4 | move on and learn some new tricks.

Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. ‘There seems to be no lamp as handy as the bridge lamp, for it may be car- ried to the card table, near the sofa, large chair, desk or wherever one might wish to have a light fall on one’s card playing, reading or sewing. Heretofore a lamp of this type has had no value except convenience in lighting, but in the accompanying illustration is shown an addition to the standard which makes it unusually practical. This is a tray which is just the right height on the standard to be within easy reach of any one sitting in a chair or on a sofa, and it is suffi- clently large to hold smoking or sewing accessoris es. So well built is this lamp that the tray remains sturdy even when car- ried lhout although the bracket which holds the lamp is adjustable, sliding up or down to meet the needs of the reader. A lamp base such as this may be left in the natural iron finish or painted in black combined with gold, silver, Chi- nese Ted or any of the attractive mod- |, ern color combinations.

Ln'fm not as simple as 1t was in the l‘lu salons of famous Paris dress- Formzrly only the Somebodies bought there and the rest had to be content with waiting until copies of models ap- peared in public at places like the races, the opera and charity balls. Now the dressmakers have two classes of customers. These are the people who Eenomlly choose their clothes in the ouses that create them, and there are the women—the bulk of women—who rely on the selections of commercial buyers. Most of us are in the latter class. Many and many a modest budgeteer, when she goes to her favorite depart- ment store thousands of miles away from Paris, chooses a model which is directly influenced by the selection of a fi;mmerclsl buyer on the Rue de la Paix. Mrs. Budgeteer would never think of patronizing the French department of her store, if it has one, but what she gets for $39.50 in the general ready-to- wear may have the hand of a famous designer behind it, and most certainly it carries the authority of Paris, f is made from designs inspired tl iere, directly or indirectly. The costume, purchased from an American wholesale house by the local department store and eventually pur- chased by Mrs. Budgeteet is the New World version of something bought several weeks earlier in Paris, long be- fore Mrs. B. felt the seasonal urge to get herself “something fit to be seen organized garment indus- try of lh.hgnflbd m wm: its !lr‘; T g system an mass ctlon methods, thinks ahead for American women bfiv!lhile they are busy with private It mein tains hundreds of wmmerclnl buyern abroad, most of them concentrated in Paris, to act as intermediaries for the millions Wwho never get to the source of | fashions but try to keep up with style. | Because the commercial buyers rep- resent the most direct contact Paris has with women as a whole, the style creators are influenced by what they say, and, above all, what they buy. ‘This influence is increasing each sea- son.

Porter sald there would be plenty of troops and that the parade was certain to be a success from a spectacular and every other point of view. While he regretted the loss of the Pennsylvania troops, he said it would have no deteriorating effect upon the parade. ‘The first official word that the Penn- sylvania Guard, which has been such a notable feature of former inaugural pa- rades, would not come this year was re- ceived when Lieut. W. F. Richardson, quartermaster of the 8th Pennsylvania Regiment, arrived at headquarters this morning from Harrisburg and an- nounced that the Guard from his State would not be able to be present, much |3 to the disappointment of the men, but that Gov.
