WOMAN’S PAGE. Home Decoration After Holiday BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. THE CARDS IN ARRAY ON THE MANTELPIECE AND GIFTS PLEASINGLY DISPLAYED ARE ATTRACTIVE AFTER-CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS. LEARING up the rooms after Christmas usually consists of the day after this holiday. It does not include putting the Tooms in their former condition, but in 80 straightening out the furniture and furnishings that the rooms appear free from tiresome disorder. It is unwise to attempt to put away all the gifts and to fit them into the places where they are to remain when not in use. Most persons like to have their gifts where they can be enjoyed for a few days before they become “mere articles” instead of presents. It is quite possible to have the things col- lected on some table, or the piano in such a way that a festive bit of Christ- mas decoration results. This spot forms a nucleus of interest not alone to the family, but to callers, and friends who the chief decoration done on | jcore in, as they are sure to, during | the holidays. It cuts the good times down to a minimum when the home maker at- tempts to put the rooms in their usual dress too soon after this day, famed for coming once a year. The Christmas wreaths and greens are often left up until Twelfth Night as was once the ac- cepted custom. By that time their beauty has dimmed and the family w come the return to the accustomed a: ragement of the rooms. Of course the Christmas presents do not form decorative elements but a few days. They are put to use much earlier, nor would they lend decorative features for more than a very short time. Just for today, however, let the Christmas greens plus the gifts not wanted for immediate use continue to lend decora- tion. and extend the gracious feeling of Christmas festivity. (Copyright, 1931.) MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Dry, Scaly Skin. EAR MISS LEFDS—It seems that on different occasions the skin of my face peels off, ap- pearing very scaly in places, thereby causing the powder cn my face to show very strongly. For that reason, I do not use much powder, but just enough to remove the shiny * appearance. I do not wish to resort to a cream as a powder base because I do not feel comfortable after using it. I would, though, like to undermine the THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE Fere's a charming day dress with a gay, youthful, sophisticated note in its bright topped bodice.

A friend of mine suggested applying cocoa butter to my face, but I am quite dark and fear that this might darken my skin further.

I ob- ject to cream as a powder base since it has a tendency to encourage hair growth, | Your kindness will be indeed appre- | clated. Sincerely, PRISCILLA M. D. | Answer—Avoid soap and water when | your skin is dry and scaly and use an | oily cleansing cream and a good skin | food cream or cold cream to massage the face. The following oil may be 1 used regular ‘Twvo ounces oil of sesame (oil sesamurn) also known as benne oil or teel oil; 15 grains powdered benzoin, 15 drops of alcohol. Add the benzoin to the oil drop by drop and mix well, then add the alcohol. Leave a thin film of the oil on the skin over- night. Use a mild skin lotion and a milky foundation cream such as milk of almonds for powder base, although a thin film pure cold cream makes an excellent foundation for your type of skin. The condition of your face may be due to incorrect methods of caring for your skin or due to internal trouble. Build up your health in gen- | eral. See that your diet is well bal- | anced and that you drink sufficient milk each day. Include fruit and green vegetables m your menu. Avoid con- stipation. If your skin does not im- prove with the local treatment, consult your physician. Your beauty problem may be a form of skin trouble known as fish skin, alligator skin, keratosis or psoriasis. The cocoa butter will not darken the skin, and the cold cream will not encourage the growth of hair on the face if you choose a reliable brand. For the freckles use the white of an egg beaten with two tablespoon- fuls of oil of sweet almonds. Apply it to the freckles and allow it to remain on the skin half an hour or more. You may leave it on the skin overnight if you wish. In the morning remove it with your cleansing oil. Apply your skin lotion and foundation cream and a light dusting of face powder of the cor- rect shade. LOIS LEEDS. Consult Your Physician. Mrs. G. F.

She probably has a very charming optimism that endears her to her many friends. They would feel that no group was complete without her and would depend upon her to provide entertainment and origi- nality for their gatherings, The tall loop letters suggest she may be somewhat of & dreamer and idealist. She perhaps is the fortunate type who is seldom discouraged, but always be- lieves good fortune to be “just around the corner.” She may not be very practical, having little thought for the morrow. She perhaps feels that the future will take care of itself, thor- oughly enjoying every moment of the present. Worry would be to her a use- less thing. She would seem to be particularly fitted to do social service or settlement work. Children and adults alike would warm to her pleasing personality. Her sympathy and understanding would en- able her to become an integral part of the lives of the people she would assist. No matter how different their customs, she would be able to adjust herself to them. With foreigners she might have greatest success in making them un- derstand the ways of their new country. Seemingly she would be gifted with considerable dramatic ability. This could be utilized either as a. career or as a hobby. It might be that she would enjoy working with “Little Thea- ter” groups in a semi-professional way, but would not care to make the stage her life’s work. She would probably be glad, also, to donate her services for community or church entertainments for raising money for worthy causes.

Salads made with canned fruit give delicious variety to the regular Winter assortment of available salads. A very attractive peach or pear salad | is made in this way: Drain halved pears | or peaches. Make some gelatin—any fruit flavor is good, and gelatine fla- vored with ginger ale is also good. When the gelatin is cold and about to harden, pour it into the core cavities of the fruit and allow it to harden. A most interesting color effect can be gained in this way. Red centers in peaches, for instance, are most attractive. If you use lemon or orange gelatin, where there is less color contrast with the peach or pear, place a maraschino cherry in the center of the gelatin be- fore it hardens. Serve on lettuce with mayonnaise or whipped cream dressing. A deliclous peach salad is made by filling the core cavities of drained canned peaches with chopped cherries, walnuts and marshmallows. Cream cheese balls rolled in chopped nuts are also delicious in the core cavi- ties of canned peaches, and they are | even better in the core cavities of pears. Minced sweet red and green peppers are delicious piled into the core cavity of drained canned pears. These should all be served on lettuce, with some sort of dressing. Canned cherries, for a delicious salad, are drained and nut meats are inserted | in the pit cavities. Half a dozen cher- | ries are then arranged on each plate of lettuce. My Neighbor Says: Cover your rolling pin with a xhild’s white stocking from which the foot has been cut and use a plece of white canvas on molding board when making pastry. Do not throw away your Christ- mas poinsettia plant after it is through blossoming. Cut it back to about 6 inches from pot and put into cellar until Spring, then repot and it will blossom next year. Todine should not be used when it has been kept for any length of time. This is because the al- cohol in which fodine is dissolved evaporates rapidly and the tinc- ture thus becomes concentrated and the strength is increased.

MODES OF THE MOMENT ouito pqm!a?a)t Avutharns NANCY PAGE Service Ts a Gift for Young Girl to Offer. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Mrs. Lacey had received an invita- tion to the Nancy Page Club party, which was to be held at Nancy's home. “Is there anything I can do to help?” “No, thank you. I don't believe so. | Lois is coming over early. Iam hoping that Ann, Joan and Peter will get m?‘ as nicely as they usually do. Baby Sue will sleep, I am sure, during most of the party. Anyway, eversthing is go- ing to be simple. Thank you, just the same, for offering.” “Well, don’t forget, T am ready to help any way at all if you need me.” Evidently Mrs. Lacey kept on think- | ing about ways of helping, for on the day of the party her own daughter, Claire, came over at 1 o'clock. Peter | Page junior and Joan squealed with de- light when they saw her. “Mother sent me over, Mrs. Page, to, play with the children this afternoon. | We thought we would go over to get Andy. After that we want to make a | snow man. May we?” | “Indeed, you may. Get into your | wraps, duckies. Claire, perhaps “you | can help Peter into his snow suit.” Socn the children were ready. Nancy knew that Claire would watch the chil- | dren when it came to street crossings. Soon they came back with Andy in a sleigh. In the Page backyard they had a glorious snow fight. Later Claire brought her charges indoors, took them up‘;\‘.sxrs to the n?usery. where she had a surprise tea party for them. Her mother had sent over a bowl of pink apple sauce and some sugar cookies. Lois made some cambric tea. Sure enough, the children forgot mother was having a tea party of her own down- stairs and never disturbed the guests at all. . Nancy expressed her thanks to Claire for a hzlpllfi and thoughtfdl gift of her afternoon.

You succeeded, in an off moment, in raking up something that reconstructed your own sense of self. If you have ever had this experience with your own memories, you know what it is to entertain secret thoughts. You have had a peep into your own unconscious mind. Freud holds that it is these secret memories_that turn out to be the ir=- portant part of all dreams. He calls them the “latent content” of dreams. This latent content is so secret, so con- trary to our conventionalized minds, that evén in dreams it is obliged to dis- guise itself in order to get out of the unconscious. That is why your dreams seem queer to you. They are made up of secret thoughts adorned with strange gowns. Of course, Freud’s statement is a figure of speech rather than an ex- planation of facts. But how else are we to talk about the things we refuse to acknowledge? Right or wrong, Freud has succeeded in inviting a study of that part of the mind that most of us refuse to recognize.

HOSE large, black, white-rimmed eyes give you a start. They look | 50 real you cannot believe they | are just velvetlike spotd In| some of the species they emit a greenish light. The ladies in Cuba have been known to carry them about with them, fastened to a little chain. The light is phosphorus and comes from the eyelike spots. They are a large family, and are| known all over the United States. Some | of the click beetles, snapping beetles or flip-jackets, as they are variously called, may be found wherever you go. The | eyed elaters are the largest of all the | beetles in this family. They are mod- estly dressed in black and white, and | have often been referred to as *pepper | and salt” beetles. The two large eye- | spots are on their backs, and the true | eyes are on each side of the head at the base of the antennae. They have strong wings and fly about a great deal | in the Spring and early Summer, when | | trying to find a location to their liking | in_which to settle a large family. The children are wire-worms and grow to be 2 inches long. They have a preference for old apple trees and the | under side of leaves. For two years, and sometimes three, the wire-shaped, | hard-bodied worms live on the roots of plants and grass. They move about on their three pairs of short legs. On the last segment of the body is a stumpy, wartlike process. In the early Fall they make them- selves comfortable in 2’ cell closer to the surface of the earth. In this room they complete their growth, but remain | in "this location until the following Spring. | If the beetle clicks himself and lands | | on his back the first thing he does is | to play dead. After a while, when he | | thinks he is safe, he will fit a curved horn into a cavity on the undesside of ' his body. The sudden release takes| | place and Mr, Beetle again lafds right | side up. The amount of damage done by the beetles’ offspring is great when the | beetles lay their eggs in newly plowed | ground. In grassy or weedy lands the | eggs hatch and the wire worms go un- | | der the soil. Here they move about| Yeeding on the roots of the plants. There are about 350 species known in this country. Where wire worms are | | known to be damaging a crop it has | been found necessary to do deep plow- ing and expose the workers to their enemies. (Copyright, Baked Dish.

Revers Used in Form of Collar BY MARY MARSHALL. TRICTLY speaking, it isn't a collar. You may prefer to call it & pair of revers. But the dainty bit of lingerie shown at the neck of the dress in the sketch answers the purpose of a strictly speaking collar and is easy to wear and easy to make. ‘The size of the triangular revers should depend somewhat on the neck- line of the dress. The diagonal side that follows the line of the neck should extend from the point of the V in the front to the shoulder seam. Before beginning your finished article | it would be a good plan to cut pieces of the desired shape and size from some old muslin, pin them into position and even off the edges s desired. | If you like, you may make the revers entirely of lace, using bands of inser- | tion mitered at the corners, with slight- | ly fulled edging on the two exposed | sides. You may, if you like, combine Irish and valenciennes insertion, and | if you have bits of any sort of real lace | stawed away from the time when laces were extensively used, remember that now is the time to bring them forth, because the best dressmakers are mak- | ing use of the finer sorts of lace this | season. ‘The revers may be made by combin- ing bands of organdie and a good imi- tation lace, or, to wear on a tailored or sports type of dress, you may use revers made entirely of white silk pique. A very decided advantage of this type of neck trimming is that it is so easily washed and ironed and just as easily put back into position again. Another advantage is that the lingerie does not extend to the back of the neck, where it might be soiled or mussed when com- ing in contact with the coat collar, (Copyrixht, 1931.)

Reddy Fox has | found this out many times, as have | most of the little people of the Green Meadows and the Green Forest. Yet | in the worst of times Reddy manages to grin. Rough Brother North Wind had swept. down on the Green Meadows and the Green Forest, bringing snow clouds. It had snowed and snowed and snowed It seemed to some of the little people that it would never stop sncwing. There were great drifts everywhere. Of course, during that great storm the | little people—and the big ones, too, for that matter—were unable to leave their Fomes. Those who had snug holes kept | in them and slept most of the time.

While | the storm lasted there was no eating | for most of the meadow and forest peo- ‘ . ple, forgnone could face the storm to search fof {ood, nor could they have | found it had they tried. That storm lasted two days and when at last Rough Brother North Wind blew | away the clouds and jolly, round, bright | Mr."sun had a chance to shine there were a lot of hungry people. None were hungrier than Reddy Fox and Mrs Reddy. Reddy was the first to discover that the storm was over. He had to dig his way out of his home in the Old | Pasture. When at last he poked his head outside and had shaken the snow | from his face he stood in his doorway and blinked. He was looking at a white , world. Everything was changed.

There is one thing sure, and that is if we are to eat we have got to find the food, for it isn't going to come to “Go ahead, Il follow,” | m;:y. said Mrs. | Reddy started. Right in front of | their home the wind had blown_ aver some of the snow so that it was not deep at all. But when Reddy reach-d the bushes and started along one of th old cow paths he was soon floundering up to his middle, for the snow was not only deep, but very fine and soft. It was very loose and with every step Reddy was half buried. Mrs. Reddy wisely remained in the doorway watching Reddy. He didn't go far. In fact, he went only a few feet. Then he turned and looked back at Mrs. Reddy and grinned. “Don't you still feel sleepy? I do” said he, and grinned again. “I cannot think of any- thing better just now than another | H to flounder back home. | It was very still and when the still- | ness was broken sounds could be heard | a long distance off.
