and semi-precious stones there is no
difficulty in getting the right color set

A Chatelaine silver or gold bangle to
the damsel who prides herself on her
slenderly patrician wrist. These are of
thin gold wires twisted and with FIVE or
six rings to hold various charms. Do not
omit to make one OF the danglers a coin
case. In this day of "pay-as-you-enter"
cars it proves friend in need.
A set Of four or six candle shades to

youth, breads a glare. Remember that
there is no rose pink or yellow more
trying than A cold blue or vivid green.
A set OF four silver-coasters for the girl

THREE SMALL MAIDS
IN PRIZE CONTEST
Are but Sample of Hundreds
of Pictures.

Do you know these three little maids
The first is Kathryn Elder Cooksey
aged nine months. who lives quite con.
tentedly with mamma and the daddy
man at 1893 Lamont street. She is the
little daughter of DR.. and Mrs. Claude
Cooksey.
The second tiny miss is also nine
months old, the little girl Of Mr. and
Mrs. w. II. Mitchell, whose home is
lib Glrard street.
The third picture Of the group is of a
very young contestant for one Of the
valuable prizes offered in the contest.
for little Gladys Alma Luskey is just
six months old, the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Elvin NJ. Luskey, whose home is
1909 Eighth street northwest.
These three little maids take a very
serious view of the baby show. They
are in deadly earnest about all those
prizes, and their eyes look straight into
yours while they ask, WHO dares dis
pute the cnarm of my particular kind
of babyhood?"
And the answer comes back, NO
body"

with convenient apartments. or simply

so you know Tom?" she observed,
and frowned slightly. Tom was her
guardian, and her memories of him were
not satisfactory. A burly. unshaven man
with a queer streak of meanness through
his character.

North?" suggested Murrell.
-Four years. I've been at school, you
know. That's where 1 met Judith Fer

II hope you'll like West Tennessee.
It's still a bit raw compared with what
you've been accustomed to in the North.
You haven't heen back in all those four
years." Betty shook her head. Nor
seen Tom-nor any one from out yOn-
der?" For some reason a little tinge of
color had crept into Betty's cheeks.
VIII you let me renew our acquaint-
ance at Belle Plain? I shall be in West
Tennessee before the summer is over;
probably I shall leave here within a
week." he said, bending toward her
His glance dwelt on her face and on the
plant lines of her figure, and his senses
swan.
Il imagine you will be welcome at
Belle Plain. You are Toms friend"
Murrell bit his lip, and then laughed as
his mind conjured up a picture of the
cherished Tom. Suddenly he reached out
and rested his hand on hers.
"Betty-if I might think" he began,
but his tongue stumbled. His love-mak-
ing was usually of a savage sort, but
some quality in the girl held him in
check. Betty drew away from him, an
angry color on her cheeks and an angry
light in her eyes. Forgive me, Betty"
murmured Murrell, but his heart beat

All the little codgers under three years

Martyr: The reason for the scant. IN

The persistent use Of injurious sham
poos. Few realize that shoap shampoos
do more harm than good. The deadly
alkali in soap is too strong for the hair
causing it to streak and become Hfeless,
Such ShampOOs can only result fatally
to the hair Dry powders also are bad.

cause dandruf.
"A perfectly safe shampoo is made by
dissolving teasroonful of canthrox in
a cup Of hot water. This Cleanses per-

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
ASKED BY EVERYBODY
wireless TeIeEraphy School.


Herald Reader-There is no school in
| Washington Of which know where
wireless telegraphy is taught.
Formal Calls.
Good Form-During a formal call wher
other guests are present a man should
remain standing and depart upon the
entrance of others. II the hostess is
seated at the time. she need not rise or
shake hands. but merely bow.
The hostess should not accompany a
caller to the door OF the parlor, but bow
from her chair. These rules of etiquette
do not govern an Informal call from in
innate friends, OF course, but, as l un,
derstand your perplexity, the women
who took their departure were paying a
formal call, in which case 1t was not
necessary to have accompanied them to
the door.
Birth Stone and CoupIet.
Annie-The birthstone for December is
turquoise The couplet for that month
is as follows:
With forethought wise Humiel brings
success
That crowns thy life with highest hap
piness-
Engaged but Not in Love.
Anxious-The month in which you were
born has nothing to do with whether or
not you were born to marry. The high
est life in the world for woman is that
Of wifehood and motherhood, and this
is the destiny of most women. There are
but few things that should make a girl
feel that she should not marry; i'll health
or some exceptional gift for a different
life, for instance.
MI. 90 a hVrt
sever the engagement that binds you to
a man whom you do not love. Do not
make the terrible mistake of marrying
for any cause whatsoever IL your heart
does not tell you that he is the one and
only man for you, and the sooner you
tell him how you feel about your en-
gagement, the better 1t will be for each
of you.
Making Over Skirt.
Mother-It is the easiest thing in the
world to make a tight skirt from a full
one. Rip up the full skirt and cut 1t by
a new pattern. You will find the ma
terial in each gore ample, and will have
quite a bit left over.
(2 The girl twelve years old who can
not carry the tune even of a national
air certainly has no ear for music. L
think II is a great mistake for mothers
to insist upon teaching children music
who have neither talent nor desire for
it. The time spent is wasted, and II
might be given to something else with
much benefit to the poor, little, tortured
music pupil.
washing Sweaters.
Reader-I do not now remember the
directions for washing a white sweater
that were published several months
back. but II you can give me the date
Of the paper 1 will be glad to republish
them.

be used to clean the sweater, and when
1t is washed II the sleeves are pulled

Apply This Paste and
the Hairs Will Vanish
IFashion Monthly.)

After all, electricity is not destined to
play much OF a part in the removal of
fuzz or hairy growths from the skins
surface, for a new and simple powder
known to druggists as delatone, does the
work quicker and eliminates the expense
and pain following the use OF the cleo
tric needle.
To rid the skin of hairs not wanted,
1t is only necessary 70 make a paste
with powdered delatone and water
Apply this to the hairy surface and
after two or three minutes rub on and
wash the skin, and the hair or fuzz will
have completely vanished. While della
tone costs a dollar an ounce, the price
is insignificant. as 1t does the work
quickly and well without any possible
injury.

To Remove Grease.

If grease is spilled on the kitchen
floor or table do not scrub 1t with hot
water, as the natural inclination is to
do, for this only soaks it in deeper. In
stead sprinkle a little soda over the
spots and scrub with cold water. In
this way the spot does not spread or
soak in, and is removed much more
quickly.

able fruit of the choicest qualify,

nanas, and chilled purple and red grapes
The Washington herald., 1911-10-19

Waffles with One Egg-One egg, one
tablespoonful of sugar, one tablespoon
full Of butter. one teaspoonfuI of salt.
two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, two
cupfuls of milk, two cupfuls of flour.
They are equally good using part water
and part milk.
Carrot Marmalade-One dozen raw
grated carrots, one cupful of sugar to
each cupful of carrots, strained Juice of
three lemons, one teaspoonful of pow
dered cinnamon, one teaspoonful pow
dered cloves and allspice. Mix the grated
carrots with the sugar and allow to stand
over night. In the morning add the
lemon juice and the spices. Cook slowly
for one hour. If the spices are omitted
it is similar to orange marmalade.
Steak (paper bag cookery)-This new
method of cookery comes from England,
where housewives have waxed so enthusi-
astic over it that specially prepared bags
are being manufactured and placed on the
market. Not having the perfected bag,
one may be made of oil paper (the kind
which comes IN breakfast food boxes is
admirable). Have your oven quite hot,
butter your steak on both sides without
trimming it, and put into the bag. Turn
down the edges to make it air-tight and
lay on the CRATE of the oven. In ten
minutes lift out carefully to hot platter
and remove bag; season the steak, trim
and serve it. All the flavor and all the
juices and all the weight will be there
and the meat is much more tender. More
ever, there are no pots and pans to wash.
The bag, of course. must be clean and
free from noxious chemicals.
