Copyright, 1921, (New York Evening World) by the Press Publishing Co much for the girl who knew enough to bring that most attractive of her features into bold relief, Some girls have beautiful feet and they hide them with bad shoes —not necessarily inexpensive shoes, but shoes that are inappropriate and Shoes for,small feet zhould be plain service of making the foot the chief ca ieas ae Tight and Might colored cuffs set off a dainty small ‘and— Have simple shoes and plain sleeves to show the beauty of your hands and feet. Therefore the dress becomes that perfect thing which it should be. If your hands are small, try the gentle little trick of button- ing your light colored cuffa quite tightly about your wrists, At once you will have two hancs which are much more beautiful than they have ever been before. Perhaps the hands are pretty things where the arms are too thin and shapeless. Very well, then the tight cuffe are even more particularly suitable. You will love them so when you wear this sort of frock that you will fairly sit up nights to do the laundry to keep the cuffs fresh and white and sparkling. Now the girl in the other picture has handled her hands in 4 clever way also. You may think she looks just like any ordinarily dressed girl ready for outdoor activities. She should look that way. There should be no startling reference to her hands and feet. But see how she has buttoned the cuff of her coat tightly about her wrist. Any girl whos€ hands were larger would certainly have choson heavy cuffs of furto match the collar; that is, she would have-done so if she were wise. But the tightness about the wrist shows plainly that the hands are small and delicate. They show their natura] beauty at every turn of the wrist. They become a particular part of the costume, Gloves on hands that are small are very beautiful. Small hands can carry those heavy chamois gloves most be- comingly. For when hands are small, then gloves can afford to bo large. On the other hand, the tightly fitting kid gloves that streten over the hands are vastly becoming to the girl whose hands are tiny. She can, without fear, spread her white yloved hands upon her lap. Just now white gloves are not tre- mendously smart. It is much better taste to wear gloves that are gray or tan or some other shade to harmonize with the clothes that one is wearing. Suede ones are particularly good, and then there are those fabric gloves which are so easy to keep clean, which are so much less expensive and which, hands, especially on small awfully well. th look it 801 have a low instep. When this is the case, then the shoes should be kept simple and plain. Low pumps are the best, for they show all of the natural beauty of the foot without calling any undue attention to its defects. Then the girl who is blessed with small hands and feet should think of those parts of her anatomy first, when she is buying her clothes. After she has given them all consideration in her power, then she can turn to the other portions of her attire—but not before, If she is to dress her person- ality in the very most beau! way in her power, ‘ ‘THE EVENING WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER “94, 1921. eat The Hea By Carolin ore rt of a GH e Crawford Copyright, 1921, (New York Evening World) by the Press Publishing Co, Which Man Will Peggy yPleal New York ke Menegrapher, . ‘own ages wid Hi ep wenlurs.

Overseas—in strange lands, spending his gold. And there was a rustle, but no door had opened. The Christmas Spirit entered and spoke to the man this wise: “Come with me, you who are lonesome, come with me; They are expecting me—in fact, part of me is already there.” And blindly following, wondering why he went—on airy wings it seemed— He found himself in the home of modest means Where little children were writing letters to their God of Gifts And there were song and laughter On that one eventful night—the children’s night of the year. ‘And the father and mother—such trivial things gave them joy He wondered, for all his life was spent in making millions, ca And the small, happy things of life ne'er came to him like this. ‘ Again they entered the hovel of the widow, who had naught to feed the hungry mouths, But gathered them about her and ‘bade them have faith and Christ- mas Spirit. a And the man marvelled that such a one could still have hope in any- - thing.
