The psychology of this 1is an wrong. In this modern age, one should remember that Mother, af- ter all, is only a woman. And what woman's heart does not thrill at receiving - luxurious personul things that are a bit trivolous and perishable? g Husbands, daughters and sons really should go modern this year, when it comes to Mother'y gifts. Dedicate Christnils to beauty, when choosing things for her. And do not mind if they are perishable. ~ Why should Mother's gifts last forever? ge Selection Quantitics of luxurious beauty things are on the market, any of which might perk Mother up. A I box of beauty lotions, fine creams, | skin tonics, restful eye concoc- tions and so on; a bottle of French perfumery, with atomizer; mod- | ernistic manicure things; colored bath salts to refresh her after a day's work: expensive scented soaps; pretty sachets; tollet water in fine bottles, and a sct of new bottles for the bath lotions — rose water, hand lotion, skin food and | 80 on. Encouraging Mother is the real- ization that she still is a person of charm and beauty, nothing would be more efficacious than one of the new little vanity tables. Fitted with creams and perfumery, it wonld give a Wit to any woman's spirit. Exquisite Lingerie In the same class are the fol- lowing: exquisite French lingerie, a devastdtingly delicate and allur- ing negligee, a chaise lounge with| fine throw of quilted satin, fluffy lace slumber pillows, gay mules, chiffon hosiery of a perishable party shade, delicate gloves, an ! ¢nsemble purse and sandals and belt of novelty rkins, modernistic Loudoir light with triple French mirror, breakfast sct of dainty chna, very large chiffce hankics for dress-up, or a fine colorful over-night bag. Then, too, there are numberless trcatments Mother may never have felt she could afford. Tickets to these might be greatly appreciat. led. Such things include a- paid ticket to a series of ten weekly beauty treatments, treatment tick- ~¢s 10 a hair specialist, turkish baths, ewimming classes or some of the reducing dancing courses. If Mother is utterly immune to feminine beauty helps, at least the moderns can give her luxuries in the ehape of rare books, potted cactl or other unusual plants, bits of rare boudoir furniture she hus coveted but never bought, a plati- num lorgnette, season opera tick- |¢-uz. or a series of seats for good shows. Jewelry abounds this Christmas to tempt the giver of beauty gifts. | Perhaps an exotic pair of earrin, might spur Mother to mew interes in Wfe. Or she may always have wanted some pin, ring, Jjeweled hair comb, opera glasses, jeweled wrist watch or beads of some &pe- cial cut or color. Probably the most acceptable | gift to any Mother is something one of her children has made him- self or herself. Many of the foregoing gifts might be included in this category. A fluffy little bed facket to encour- age her having breakfast in bed once in a while or some hand- j quilted little pillows to dress up !her day bed might be pleasing to {her. 1f the exchegqier permits, Mother's gifts should be done in colors that please her, whether it be a vanity table or a dressing gown. It may scem shocking to the Mother who has always had carpet sweepers, living room chairs, kitch- cn utensils or a new rug to find that 8anta has sloughed off at her door some cut-glass perfumery hottles and a lot of other beauty luxuries. But, the woman is hard jto find who doesn’t enfoy shocks! therefore, there is everything in the favor of the giver of beauty gifts. Try it once and see if Mother isn’t pleased. - BIUE 'N BLUE A navy blue moracain frock has a square yoke and cuffs of light hlue, joined to the frock with amn intricate little pattern of white | beads.

They should be helped to develop the poise which enables them to stand on high places without fear.

Timidity and helplessness have generally been cultivated among the feminine charms. It was thought not quite nice for girls to be able to perform feats of skill and daring. Modern education, which treats boys and girls alike during thelr early years. has done much to re- form this state of affairs. In school, at least, the girl is expected to be as brave and a= little of a sniveller as her pbrother. But this new atti. tude i hardly as yet echoed in the home. Father still admonishes his son not to “ery like a girl” and his chief exhortations to manliness still consist in teaching him belligerency. Boys and girls alike have need for courage. The form that s social- ly desirable is not so much the art of self defense, as the ability to face hazardous sitnations with steady poise. Tt is the strength of Lindbergh rather than that of the pugilist which should be the ebject of hero worship. Tn this age the world needs not so much the courage of ity fighters ag that of its builders, ex- plorers and discoverers, Children should be trained from their earliest years to bear pain without undue fuss and tears They should begin while young to take small risks They should learn swim- ming and diving They should be urged to do difficult gymnastic feats, and to take the bumps and| The less you knocks incident to the learning pro- |th- less it SIDE TRAINS Dipping skirts on evening gowns show a preference for greatest length on one side, usually the left, The other side dips also, but the left side may reach beyond the floor, providing a sweet little train.
