BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. The Good Taste girls wanted to send Nancy a valentime. But what sort should it be? They wanted to make it themselves, and yet none of them were artists of such skill or genius that their randiwork was good enough to hang permanently on the walls of the Page home. Angela had an idea. Why couldn't we get an old flower print and use it with some lace paper and then frame 1t?" The girls raised numerous objections. | a they cid work out a scheme hich was most satisfactory. First they took their flower print and scalloped the edges of the margin of white paper on the print laid it over a lace paper proximately the same ger That is, an oval fower not laid on a round paper hen they laid this over a piece of cardboard which had been covered wi gold paper having a margin or mat of gold. Tre whole thing was put in a frame of black touched up with gold They liked the one so well they made a companion piece As they worked with the idea, it was suggested they might use silver paper in place of gold: they might tint the frame in soft green or the predominant | color of the flower print. Lacking old flower prints, they might use a flowered spray from a wall paper, | from a garden and seed catalogue, even from a piece of glazed chintz If they needed a large bouquet. thi could cut it from pieces of colored paper or combine sprays from a number of sources. . -— Nature is extraordinarily lavish in scents and sound and forms and colors. “After using Self-Rising Washington Flour I don’t think I want to use any other. “It made such good biscuits I could wants to do.

Lawyers will tell you that the ma- Jority of people in making their wills know to whom they are going to leave their earthly store, but they don't know how. No great amount of searching is necessary to learn the reason. Such familiar conveniences as trusts, in all varieties, are not universally known The result is that property is left to minors, incompetents and others to be dissipated. ~ Unless one sets forth in a will exactly how property is to be di- vided and apportioned, it must be al- loted to one’s heirs as prescribed by law. But more important almost, un- less one decides on the manner and terms by which it will be given, it is given outright. There is no denying the fact that many to whom money has been willed are not capable or qualified to handle it. The investment of money, manag- ing of property and so forth require skill and training. It 15 a task hest left to those qualified to perform the work. The easiest settlement of the prob- lem confronting the average person in making a will is to name some trust company as an executor or administra tor. Property or holdings may be held in trust, so that the principal will never be risked or threatened. By one's will property for as long a period as one desires. For example, Mrs, Doe has two chil- dren, both under 10 years of age. She has considerable property. There a no friends of her late husband to wh; she doesn't care b ve them in her bus She goes to a trust company m can _turn I envy actors who escape From life to act a part each hey have vacations { Most, every night and mat She aranges so that they will receive ample income, should she die, to sup- r nu eaucate them Upon reaching specified ages, her children will come into possession of uccessive amounts of the principal. In that way a woman may face the future ired of protecting as well as provid- ing for her dependents and. heirs. In- creasingly fewer outright bequests are made because general knowledge of the “trust” is spreading and carrying with 1t its benefits When you cannot trust human na- ture, w m, prudence or fate, you ean trust a “trust” It Is beyond human power to impair or retract, it is avail- able to every one with a will to make It insures every one a will that will “keep.” = — Fried Hominy Square.
