DIG DIAMONDS THAT LIE AT THE DOOR;
LET THE OTHER WOMAN'S FIELD ALONE

for Every Woman sent me many little
tokens OF their remembrance card
here. little note of appreciation and
loyalty there. or useful little gift may
be--in every case these remembrances
of the happy Yuletide; these wishes for
4 Merry Christmas for the editor OF
the page that belongs to every woman
who reads The Herald. were a great
impulse from some loyal heart. In
nine cases out of ten they came from
readers whom | have never seen, so you
can see just how dear was the thought
that prompted these expressions and
tokens of the good wishes of my read
ers. which must have given happiness
in the sending. because they brought
so much joy to me
1t may seem little thing to many
of you to send word of cheer and
loyalty to some one who is working
for you, but il is usually the little op-
portunity that we grasP'in life that null
tiplIes our blessings; the little things
that brighten the way of another.
Don't let any work seem menial if it
is a true service. The woman who
washes pans with a song on her lips
is just as truly digging diamonds as
the woman to whom God has given
a wonderful voice. which she is using
to gladen the world in song.

BOOK PUZZLE PUBLISHED
HAILED WITH DELIGHT

The book puzzle was hailed with great
delight yesterday.
And even the puzzle circle admits that
IT is an easy matter to solve it-especial-
ly those whose solutions have come to
me with the greatest number Of mis-
takes
For there are several numbers Of the
new puzzle published yesterday to which
more than one book title would fit.
The fact that early workers did not
probe with their lists that the puzzle is
as easy as they thought should encour-
age those who are only beginning their
work on the mystic descriptions to-day
Send your solutions as soon as you have
them ready, remembering that the con-
test gates close promptly at noon on
Friday, an oft reiterated fact that was
quite forgotten last week If may Judge
by the number of solutions of the Christ
mas candy puzzle received Saturday
morning, too late to be eligible for any
one OF the three prizes.
The usual prizes Of 50, 8, and 81 are
offered again this week for the three
most correct lists Of answers to the book
puzzle. All solutions are marked with
the time Of their receipt when they come
into The Herald office. and are conSid-
cred in this order.
My heartiest wishes for success go ort
to the puzzle circle in this, the first
week OF the new year. May you in
crease in cleverness and grow rich in
prizes! J, C. NJ.

A Time-saving Hint.

There are little time-savers OF the toi-
lette which are worth learning. In
threading ribbon or tape through lingerie.
a wooden match makes an excellent sub
stitute for a bodkin. 1t is, however.
possible to do without threading the rib
bon at all. and when about to send the
garment to the laundry. a piece of mar
row tape should be tied to the, end of
the ribbon and the latter drawn out of
the thread holes. leaving the tape in
its place. The knot is then unfastened,
and the set OF lingerie can be sent to the
wash, the ribbon being replaced on its
return In exactly the same manner. In
the case OF those whose lingerie Is en-
tirely ornamented with rows Of ribbon
run beading. this plan may save many
quarters OF an hour during the week

RESOLUTIONS OF TO-DAY
BROKEN IN SHORT ORDER
Each Day Should Be Beginning of New Year
pvith the Whole of Life Gipen to Endeavor

something wrong with us when we do
1t only on New Years day in the morn
ing II i5 not very pressing IL 1t can
be put of till then or thought Of only
on that day
II the resolution feeling stirs you up
on New Years day count ten before
thinking of il, and twenty before decid-
ing. This is an epidemic, and you are
catching only a popular disease.
But, Mister, insist on improving my
self.
Well, then, see Chapter III.
Each Day New Year.
Somebody, 1 forge: who It was. once
had a bright notion. 1t was this:
Il will consider every day as the be-
ginning of a new year"
This Increases the chances for the res
olution business by three hundred and
sixty-four. and by one more in leap year,
so you breathe more freely.
And you are not pressed for time. II
you need 1 week or a month 10 coax
a bad habit downstairs, or to push one
upstairs, you have it.
II Brown is in earnest about the smoke
habit he does not need to wait for the
passing OF time. II he is not in earnest
he need not make a sneaking coward OF
himself on the way to Detroit.
We have, generally, better luck with
constructive resolves than with destruc-
tive, which means that it is easier TO
form new habits than 10 break old ones.
That is, II is a little easier, but, after
ALL not much.
Do you realize. Brown, that you are
supposed to have in your head several
millions OF brain cells, all Of them capa-
BILE of doing business? And do you fur
ther realize that the amount ofNbrain
you use is about as much as the size of
this letter NJ compared with double
sheet of this paper?
Well. that is about all the business you
are doing, Brown, and If you don't re-
solve something every day of the year
your gray matter will be about as useful
in this life as that lovely dish they serve
in the restaurants.
1t is called calves brains vinaigrette.
And you can get a lot OF II for sixty
cents.

By THOMAS TAPER.

From this day we resolve to live a
better life.
We write down those things we will no
longer be guilty of and beside them We
place those other and better things that
we intend to do.
1t is great act
We feel a little awkward, to be sure,
but we expect them 10 wear of. Brown
has smoked for thirteen years, and it
seems strange not to smell the Havana,
as usual on this great day.
But watch me" says Brown. I'm
firm
heavenD She intenAss to read Tennyson
and then Browning. Mrs. Sinclair comes
over in the afternoon and invites her
to play their favorite game IN the even
ing. 1t seems a little awkward to refuse,
but like her husband, she is firm, and
declines with regrets more deeply felt
than expressed.
Then the hard days come. The days
when old habits cry to be nursed and
petted and fondled. And the Browns.
both of them, pretend not to hear.
On January he has to 80 to Detroit
on business. and she, left alone, tries
to find comfort in Tennyson and Brown
ing.
While he sits in the club car on the
train and grins as he takes a 25-center
from the box she telephones to Mrs. Sim
clair that she will be over in ten min
utes.
It's all over for another year.
Habit Hard Thing to Break.
It was Mark Twain, believe. who said
that Habit is not a thing you can
throw out of the window. You must
coax # downstairs a step at time. And
even with the loveliest coaxing you can
do, it will sneak back step or two
every now and then"
Well then, shall We not resolve?
Not too much.
A person in she resolution frame OF
mind is apt to be overenthusiastic, too
ambitious, too ready to cut out more
denials and make more plans than are
possible in Cne short life of seventy
years.
It is great TO resolve. BIT there is

NEW IDEAS FOR
WEDDING FAVORS

The popularity Of the little velvet or
silk bunch of flowers for the corsaEe.
with beautifully chosen colors-bright
ones or weary ones together only in
one bunch-has led to the fashion abroad
of another sort OF little posy.
They are choosing punches Of sweet
meat flowers forsthe table. and very
pretty these are aEd quite easy to make.
You get Green-covered wire and a
spirit lamp. You burn one end Of the
wire in the fame and when red-hot you
stick into a piece of melted sugar. which
hardens and binds the stem to the
flower.
Then you make wires for separate pet
ais and coat them with sugar icing and
tint them. say Fink, or white for roses,
mauve for violets. and use either spinach
colored icing or else angelica for the
leaves. Orange drops you heat and
roll in granulated sugar for centers of
the flowers. The devices may be very
numerous.
For instance. you make the dearest
little bunch of white sweetneat snow
drops TO lay by each plate. or one Of
red autumn berries, tiny dahlias, dali
sles-what not Arrange a nat bunch
OF pink roses and it charmingly dec
crates a birthday cake.
1he greatest lun Is 70 nave olner-
ent flower to lay before each plate at
a dinner table. All sorts OF ready-msde
sweets, tiny TO big, that you get at a
confectioner's may be pressed into the
service, and split, skinned Jordan al
monds make good petals: red comfits
may be adopted for pimpernels. and so
on.
Twist some crystsllized violets or roses
up into a bunch. adding leaves and
wire, and pop this into a little basket
and to the handle fasten some violet
flowers, and you have a dainty little
ornament to set on the table at dessert.
