Love’s Awakening By Adele Katherine Effectively Spikes Samucl Brixton’s Effort w0 Confer Alone with Lillian 1 speedily found that in old wives'| parlance I “had my work cut out| for me” to keep Samuel Brixton | from staging the private interview | with Lillian which he had come so| fur to obtain. Whether or not his half-brather was coaching him, 1 could not determine, but both he | and Charles Owen were adroit enough to 'keep themselves very much in the background, leaving | the conversational field to Helen| Brixton and Lilllan. The two old| triends were so busy in catching up | with the years during which they | had not seen each other, that they puid only perfunctorily courteous attention to the rest of us, and I silently raged as I fancied I saw in Charles Owen's eyes a calculating appraisal of the effect of this re- | union upon Lillian’s aversion to Samuel Brixton. Without obtruding myself upon | the reunited friends I kept close to Lilllan after dinner when we gath- ered around the living-room fire, which the cool Autumn evening made most grateful. And I suddenly sat up mentally and physically when Bamuel Brixton looked over at his | wife and spoke with ostentatious but | genuinely affectionate solictude. | “I hate to butt in, Helen, but you know how terribly tired you were today. I think you ought to go to| bed.” Lilllan rose instantly. “How thoughtless I have heen she said, “Come, Helen, I'll carry you off and tuck you in at once.” hat mean youll talk till Samuel Brixton demand- ed with heavy jocosity. “Because if | it does, I shall have to stand out- side the door and put a time limit| upon the gab fest.” “No, I really won't let her talk any more tonight,” Lillian promised, | as she slipped her arm through Holen Brixton's, and, waiting only for her guest pologetic good-night | to the rest of us, walked with her | to the door. I joined her the stressing my role as hostess, and was just in time to hear a low- voiced query from Samuel Brixton | who had gallantly escorted hoth wo- men to the hall. “Are you too tired to go over that | little matter with me tonight after \ Helen gets to sleep?

But I was furious at the smug smile of satisfaction curving Sam Brixton’s lips as Lil- lan turned softened eyes upon her old friend's eager face and answer- ed tenderl “At least I'll isten patiently to what he has to tell me, for your suke, Helen.” Over her shoulder I signaled Katherine witn an almost imper- ptible quirk of my eyebrows. The ttle nurse waited a second or two, then rose and walked across to us while I detained Mrs. Brixton with a housawifely query as to her break- tast preferences. Then I spoke to Katherine with a casual air. I'm glad you're here, Katrina. You'll be able to lay down the law to Lillian as I wouldn't dare to, not baving your authoritative office.” “I'm a nurse, you know,” Kather- ine told the Brixtons smilingly, “and I'm sure that behind my back they call me Mrs. Simon Legree.

Guiding Your Child THRIFT By Mrs. Agnes Lyne We all agree that children should be taught to save. But in our zeal to teach thrift we are apt to forget both the conditions under which it is possible for the child to learn it and the fact that it is not in itself & vir- tue. When we try to inculeate thrift in our children we must remember that our real object is to teach them to spend money in ways that will give them the greatest satisfaction in the long run. The thrift drives that are fre- quently made in schools and the en- forced saving common in many homes fall short of their purpose be- cause they do not take into account the child’s own attitude. They sim- ply make him go through the proper motions and hope that these will in some mysterious way affect his con- duct. John’s mother tells proudly that John, aged six, has already put away $50 in the savings bank, a sum which represents the Christmas and birth- "day contributions of generous aunts {and uncles. Just what do these | fifty dollars lying so thriftly in the |{bank mean to John? They don't i mean anything They have been saved, not at his own discretion, but at the arbitrary command of his mether. They rep- resent neither effort ner sacrifice. { Fifty dollars in the bank may be & fine start toward accumulating the money for a collage sducation but it means nothing in the life of a six- vear old John could learn a great deal more abeut saving frem going with- out lolly-pops for a whole week in order to save the wherewithal to buy a splendid red and blue top that he has set his heart on. Before we can expect a child to |save for some vague advantage in | the years to come, we must let him !learn that by saving we can gratify |some particular desire in the near future. We should not expect him to save more than a small amount over a short space of time. As he grows older, and his desires become {more expensive, he will learn to ave greater amounts over longer periods. A child learns nothing from an impressive bank account over which he has no control. But he learns a great deal from a good luck pig that jingles enticingly with the hoarded nickels and dimes of several weeks' allowance which he will shertly | empty into his pocket te spend on & long desired and magnificent base- ball outfit SAV CARPET If you buy your stair carpet i threa-quarters of a yard longer than |needed. you can move it up and down a little every now and then and prolonging its life tremendous- 1y, Paris Tums to Fabrics For Originality ‘Fur Trimming Still Is Lavishly Used, Says Rosette.

By ROSETTE NEA Fashion Writer Paris, Nov. 8—Never before in the annals of fashion has one seen such sumptuous evening cloaks as those create for the present season. It seems that the Parisian couturier felt the need of expressing in this direction all the richness and bril- Nancy lacking in even the most eluborate evening gown. Although the expensive evening wrap of fur is still preferred by some women, others are of the same opinion as the foremost fashion creators that a fur wrap is not as expressive of personality and ori- ginality as one made of fabric. Anyhow, fur trimming is used so lavishly this season that the new models are just as costly-looking as the all-fur ones. Velvets Liked Best Velvets, lames and a heavy quality of satin are most favored, but there are quite & number of embossed. damasked, matclasse and beaded fabrics used for evening wraps. The ensemble {dea still prevails, but often the cloak will be in a deeper shade than the dress or, supposing a contrasting color iu preferred, the lining will match exactly. The di of the unignue evening cloak that “'went” with every evening frock has passe and the chic woman's ward- robe now consists, at the very least, of three wraps. This is an expensive feature of preaent-day fashions, 1 ut in all in line with the excessive pro- cess of refinement that clothes have undergone during the last two years. Everyone spends more and more time and thought planning a new dress, and the results is apparent at all smart gatherings. The sleeveless cape is seen less than pipvious years, although cape effects are quite fashionable. The length of an evening wrap has been a difticult point to master too, in view of the uneven hemline and draperies of evening frocks. Leading houses such as Patou and Lelong have created wraps on the same lines as the dress, longer in the back or sides, thus avoiding that not-very-pretty effect of wisps of chiffon twirling round the ankles. At Louiseboulanger’s the other version of the evening cloak is to be seen—she decided to shorten it 50 that it just covers the knees, thus achieving a decidedly original and novel sithouette. Louisebou- langer's wraps are mainly cape ef- fects, some are double-tiered and lame lavishly trimmed with fur the favorite medium. This very strik- ing type of cloak suits the tall, slim woman to perfection, which is the type of woman, by the way, Louise- boulanger caters for. Gold, Red and Blue In the Worth collection there is a beautiful coat made of matelasse in deep shades of gold, reds and blues, trimmed with a deep shawl cellar, and cuffs of sabls that stands eut from the rest. The advantage of such a coat is that it can bs worn with two or three different dresses as, for example. & lace dress, one made of red chiffen, another of lame, a consideration not to be set aside in these days of high prices. It Sable trims it handson It is worn over a pink lace dinner frock, . e and has unique Jean Patou A sumptuous has a clever shirred yoke and loose nely.

None but real and valuable pelts are used by the leading houses to trim evening coats and, fer that matter, all coats. Every conceivable type of fox is seen, but the blus, pointed and dyed specimens are the most fashionable. Chinchilla is used also, but with greater discretion, perhaps in viesw of its exorbitant price, although sable, an expensive fur also, seems to be used without much restraint.
