For those who prefer pins to clips, a very attractive gift would be the evening pin sketched, which is silver and rhinestones and is made in the graceful shape of a feather. Or may we suggest that a piece of evening jewelry which a young girl would par- | ticularly cherish would be a silver |ring with a manufactured crystal | stone, set on either side by tiny rhine- stones. The large center stone comes in a variety of shapes, one of which is sketched. In tearing ourselves away from the fascinating evening jewelry counter, we saw some smart gold daytime pieces which would brighten up any dark costume wonderfully. Wide gold | bracelets in a variety of designs are very good, as are the gold earrings | that go with them. One pair of these | earrings that were so fetching that we | paused to sketch them, had two gold | circles of different sizes at the ear, from which hung five long gold chains on the ends of which dangled five | | more gold circles of varying sizes. | Musing over the fun of receiv- ing gifts a little less practical and a little more attractive than one ever buys for oneself, we paused for a glimpse of the evening purses and decided that they were the perfect example of what we had in mind. For instance, that lit- tle black velvet bag with the gold and rhinestone top. Who would dream of buying it for herself. yet who would not squeal with delight upon unwrappin it Christmas morning?

Don't you think silence would avert many a tragedy and save many & divorce? Do you remember the old story of the bride who consulted a wise woman about now to live in peace with her husband and was given a magic pebble to hold in her mouth whenever a quarrel started? The tallsman was so successful that the bride returned to the soothsayer, begging to buy the pebble, only to be told that it was just an ordinary pebble and its virtue consisted in the fact that she could not talk while she held it in her mouth, and so, as she could not answer back, all argu- ments between herself and her husband died a natural death. Why talk about unpleasant things which can’t be remedied? Why criticize? ‘Why should conversation be incessant? I adore those golden words from Lorna Doone: “I do love silence, It does so little harm.” PEACE LOVER. NSWER—You are quite right in saying that talk stirs up more trouble, brings on more wars, wrecks more homes, and breaks more hearts than any other thing in the world, The tongue is a far more lethal weapon than the sword, and more people have been slain with the jawbone of an ass than ever have by machine guns. Just now we particularly need a moratorium on talk, for it is pes- simistic conversation, as much as anything else, that has brought about the depression and that keeps it with us. For the last few years wher- ever two or three have been gathered together, they have held a lodge of sorrow and talked about nothing except breaking banks and flopping stock markets and unemployment and hard times, and how much money they have lost, until they have broken down everybody's morale, and put everybody in crepe trousers. IF WE could only organize a conspiracy of silence in which nobody would tell any troubles for six months, we would be on the way to recovery by that time, and the world would certainly be a healthier and a more cheerful place to live in, in the meantime. Of course, I khow reciting their tales of woe is the chief indoor sport of a lot of people, especially women, who get a kick out of pro- claiming their secret sorrows to the world, and who take a ghoulish delight in exhuming their dead from the grave and relating all the har- rowing details of their last days. Why, one wonders, since talk is no remedy for trouble. It does not bring back one’s dead, nor restore one’s lost fortune. It only depresses the unhappy listener and makes his or her own burden harder to bear. IT 1S also only too true that talk is first aid to divorce, and that what we need more than anything else in the world is a supply of pebbles for the use of arguing husbands and wives. For it is when a married couple starts in to debate some subject on which they do not agree that one word leads on to another until they say the things that they cannot forgive and that kill love. It is literally true that it takes two to make a quarrel, and any hushand and any wife could stop a family fight in its first round by a little judicious use of silence. Thousands of homes could be saved from wreckage, thousands of children could be saved the misery of being brought up in turbulent households, if only husbands and wives wouldn't give each other backtalk. Nature's BY LILLIAN California Gray Squirrel. Sciurus griseus. S YOU have met the smallest member of this family, the Florida member, let me intro- duce you to the largest cousin, the one from the West. Their habits are the same. The Eastern members of this family are the most friendly, for the reason that they have been so crowded out of their wood- lands, they have accommodated them- selves, more or less, to city and sub- urban life, and to the heavily wooded bottom lands nearby. At a glance, you are impressed with the appearance of this handsome fel- low. How proudly he holds his ban- | ner aloft, how fearlessly he looks you |in the eye, and how much dignity the | fringe on his ears adds to his looks. Of course, you know all squirrels are rodents. His name means | creature that sits in the shadow of only the diminishing squirrel family planting trees, you can easily see what has happened.

We do not want |to give all the credit to the gray squirrel, for you must remember that the bluejay and the chipmunk are tree planters, too. However, com- pared with the work done by the grays, it is a small amount. At one time, there were millions and millions of these gray-uniformed foresters. Where you found them, you were also sure to find the trees. Then trouble fell upon them. Man came along, needing homes, lands, barns and roads, to say nothing | of furniture, railroad ties and imple- | ments. Hickory wood was ideal.

The favorite nut of the gray squir- | rel is the hickory nut. Offer hith a choice and see how quickly this one |is taken. So fond are they of this nut, the little rascals even eat them while green and bitter. The deep stain over their lips and front feet remains until Spring. The hoarding habit is responsible for our many wonderful nut trees. Gray squirrels do not store nuts in bins or cache them in great numbers, as the chipmunks do. They place each nut in a separate hole. It is well planted and covered. Acorns will take care of themselves. Give them a blanket of leaves or dirt, and they stick out a wee foot that soon reaches down and becomes a tap root. Not so the walnut, butter- nut or hickory nut. They dry if left out in the air before their shells break. | So you can see why the squirrels have been so valuable. It is said that the | squirrels planted the extra nuts for | their descendants.

In this family are found the lovely, glossy, black fellows, and the albinos, hidden from them, and their memory ! too. In Canada, there are many of them, and it seems they are found in the northern woods and not in the south. The love song is first broadcast by the squirrel maidens. It has far- reaching possibilities. The suitors answer and appear at their doors. Fierce battles are fought, and the “chattering of teeth”—the battle cry of angry squirrels—is not mistaken for any other woodland sound.

At last the end of that ridge dis- appeared under the old coat from an old scarecrow in a fence corner of Farmer Brown's cornfield. “Well,” said Danny to Nanny, “you have your wish; Miner has at last tunneled right under the old coat.” Nanny’s eyes danced. “Come on!” squeaked she, and led the way under the old coat. That ridge, which was the roof of Miner’s tunnel, was still being ex- tended, for Miner was still at work. It passed straight alongside the jug that lay on its side under the old coat and then turned and passed the entrance, partly closing it. Miner was still digging, for that ridge con- tinued to grow and finally passed out from under the old coat on the other side. Nanny would have hugged herself 1f she could have when she saw that ridge actually almost closing the opening to that jug inside which was their home. that!” she l?llflw delight- }lle motnd. They made an opening | |in the middle of this and were out in the cornfield. That night it was cold and the ground froze. It was colder still the next day and the ground froze deeper. This was repeated for several days in succession. Miner the Mole no longer used that tunnel. He was digging deeper now, down where it wasn't frozen and wouldn't freeze, for it was down there that the worms had gone, the worms on which he lives. Then came a snow, a blanket of several inches of snow. It covered the cornfield and it covered the Green Meadows. It covered the old coat in the fence corner and, of course, the old coat covered the jug lying on its side, the jug in which Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse had their snug home. And now, at last, Nanny was satis- fied. There was nothing to lead any one to suspect that there was a home of any kind in that fence corner. Best of all, they could leave it and return to it without making any tell- tale tracks. They simply used Miner's tunnel and when they came to the surface from this it was so far from their home that no one would think to look over in that fence corner for it. Tracks they made in the snow around that hole out of which they had come and into which they would go when they went home, but this they worried about not at all. Who- ever noticed those tracks would think that this was the entrance to a Mouse home and wouldn’t go looking elsewhere for it. Furthermore, if an enemy should chase them into the hole they could run either way along Miner’s tunnel. Never in all their lives had they felt safer. Do you wonder they were satisfied?

It is sup- posed to have what is called a phago- cytic action, or the property of de- stroying invading cells or their toxins. In leukemia the rate of manufac- ture of these leucocytes is increased, presumably in response to an unusual increase in intoxication. At any rate, this rate of increase is tremendously speeded up, till the white cells may number many thousands above the usual toxic limits, and these have passed the million mark in many cases of far-gone disease. If the éondition of leukemia is nor- mally a protective effort of the body, an effort-that has run wild, then it should be curable by the methods of detoxication and dietary correction, and so it is, if not too far gone. However, if the leucocyte count is many hundred thousand the condition of resistance is so greatly lowered that little time remains for such correc- tion as would restore the leucocyte function to a normal.

WOMEN’S FE You Can ATURES. Be Beautiful As Told to Virginia Vincent BY JOAN CRAWFORD. 6§ HERE is a great change in our ideas of beauty,” said the lithe Joan Crawford, opening her blue eyes wider as she spoke, “just as there has been a great change in our type of architecture and art. Personal I beauty has gone modern with the rest of the world.” ing Miss Craw- ford leaned for- ward as she talked. One of her great charms Hes in the fact that she gives to you or to the subject she is talking about her undivided atten- tion. She has an intriguing way of casting down her eyes as she talks; I never knew th: eyelids, half closed, could be so ex- pressive. It is the result, I suppose, of long lashes. “The modern idea of beauty is sim- plicity. A certain type of sculptured line! A boldness and frankness in revealing features whether they are your best or your poorest.” Miss Crawford poised her head daringly and defiantly as if inviting a criticism which obviously could never be voiced by her admining public. Joan Crawford medullary and glandular, the one ac- companied by a huge enlargement of the spleen, the other by enlargement of the lymphatic glands, first of the involving all of the lymphatic chains of the whole body. ‘The one is frequently designated as splenic leukemia, the other as Hodg- kins disease, being described first as a separate type by Hodgkins, hence given his name, X-ray of the spleen in the one va- riety and of the external lymphatic glands in the other, seemingly arrests the progress of the disease for a very limited time. So far, however, the literature seems to be barren of re- corded recoveries by this palliation, the condition ultimately resuming its rate of progress.
