PLAN NOW FOR THE
CHRISTMAS GIFTS
TO THE LOVED ONES

A LREADY preparations are under
n way for Christmas by those who
wish to save themselves. as we'll as
others, the strain of the hurry and
worry that comes each year at the
last hour. 1t has grown so strenuous
in the large cities that there is re-
volt coming, The barbarous crowding,
and the merciless overwerk with
which We tax ourselves, the postmen,
the expressmen and, most Of all, the
shop girls, at what should be the mer-
riest time of the year, are utterly
Inconsistent. But give gifts We will,
so make up your mind to begin early
and to give simple ones.
The humble ten-cent store is i'm
mensely useful in providing the be-
ginnings Of some pretty and useful
little gifts. Take to It early. Here
is pin cushion and a hairpin holder
that migrated from the ten-cent store

fashioned them into things worth

riage of these two young people, which
took place nine years ago. And to
understand it fully it Is necessary to
dip a bit into ancient social history.
Nine years ago Elsie Whelen, daugh-
ter Of the late Henry Whelen, of Phil
adelphia, was the most noted beauty
belle in the Newport colony, as well
as in Philadelphia. Her beauty was
as well known in England and on the
continent as in this country. She was
besought by suitors of all kinds and
degrees. With her great beauty and
her undoubted social position, she
lacked but the one thing needful, in
the worldly eyes of her mother and
her friends, and that was wealth.
A woman in society has, when
placed as Elsie Whelen was placed,
but one way to acquire wealth. and
that is to marry it. Her own desires
did not run toward the possession OF
great wealth, but her mother was
keenly alive to the high financial val
ne her world placed on such beauty
and charm as her younger daughter
possessed, and she made up her mind
the year that Elsie came out that she
should marry the richest bachelor So
ciety had to offer-Robert Goelet, son
of the late Ogden Goelet, of New York.
Tremendously in Love.
Mrs. Whelen did not have free
field, but in the end the prize fell to
Elsie, for tha simple reason that
young Goeiet was tremendously in
love with her. He know that her

has been painting steadily under the
tutelage of well-known artist. She
uses the studio belonging to Henry
Clews Jr., who has been in Paris, and
every engagement she has made has
been contingent upon the progress of
her great painting
No one knows what the subject is
whether it is a portrait, a landscape,
or real life study. The Crews studio
is secluded from general view, and no
one can go near enough to peek in
without being discovered.
But all this time this has been in
progress the work on the Picture Es-
tate, as the Goshen place Is called,
goes merrily on. The house is built
on plans once drawn by Mrs. Goelet
when she was girl, and used to dream
of the kind of house she wanted
some day to have. The grounds are
being copied from those of a chateau
in France, which she once said were
the most lovely in the world
Was there ever more lavish, a
more devoted husband?
"All this give to you. Already have
| given you houses and lands, jewels,
and ducats. But to all these add this
last gift--a thousand acres and more
picture land, a house that fulfills your
girlish dreams, and garden that may,
if you say so. be the Garden of Eden
for me. Do YOU refuse all this lust for
art?"
What will the answer be? viii the
bride who was won by millions, who
was kept by millions, and who was
lost because of these same millions, be
rewon by them?

crochet yarn has been converted into
this pretty and convenient affair for
the dressing table. The hair at each
side is tied with little bow of rib
bon. There is a hole in the top of
the head into which. small hairpin
is thrust and bent so that it stays in
place. Ribbon, fastened through this,
serves to suspend the head. The
small holes provided for sewing the
head to a body serve to hold ribbon
in place, and it is run through them,
across the front of the neck, over the
shoulders and across the back
Using a chain stitch the heavy yarn
loops of crocheted chain are fastened
to the ribbon over the shoulders and
festooned across the front and back
Hairpins are easily thrust into the
loops and hang from them in all sizes
and kinds. This proves real con-
venience and is attractive.
Foundations of cushions in all sorts
of shapes are to be had at the ten
cent store. This long one is covered

WV YlLL the million-dolIar estate
NAV that Robert Wilson Goelet is
w offering to his beautiful wife
win her back to him? The
members Of fashionable society in this
country are wondering whether Bob
by Goelet's latest bid for his wife's
favor will prove successful in the CON
test between her desire for freedom
and an artistic career and Bobbys de.
sire for her to return to him as his
wife.
IL all depends, says society, on how
ardent Der desire to go on with her
painting and how deep and wide the
chasm between them has grown dur
ing the your months that Mrs. Goelet
has maintained a separate establish
ment at Newport During these
months her husband, loving her dear
iy and yearning to go with her, has
divided his time between his Cana
dian camp and the new estate he is
developing near Goshen, N. Y, always
planning new ways Of lavishing money
on the girl he married

them; here is my Newport mansion;
my house on Fifth avenue; my opera
box, and all the jewels of the Goelet
family. All this offer you if you will
but give up your art and return to
me-"
But the obdurate wife, whose soul
yearns to express itself in high art
rather than love, looks from her lat

Popularity of Amber

Amber is at the topnotch of pop
ularity. This is significant in view
of the fact that champagne is the pop
ular spring color in Paris for gowns,
suits, etc, and that tan is SO well
thought of in this country.
In point of fact, however, amber
has been slowly but surely winning
public favor for a year or more Start
ing with mere spark, this favor has
increased to a flame, then become a
blaze and now bids fair to finally
amount to positive conflagration.

NECK pieces and muffs of marabout
III or down are made up in many
different designs. They are beautiful
and surprisingly warm and coy. The
~feeP' of marabout is warm, and it is
wonderful that anything so light could
afford SO much protection. 1t seems
as if heat resides in them in some
way.

Piled to a silly down of a dark brown

dyed or natural ostrich, or by itself,
into stoles and capes and fancy neck
pieces and into large fiat muffs. White
maraboat is also natural. Besides
these, it is dyed into all the fashion
able colors. It is used in bands for
trimming and has before it a very
successful season. 1t will be used in

but the crucial moment was reached
In June, when Mrs. Goelet arrived IN
Newport without her husband, but
with a grim determination to pursue
high art ct all costs.
But just before this the husband.
whose millions had been devoted TO
making the girl happy whom he had
wed, sprang surprise on her. 1t was
as though he was making the one last
EFFORT to keep her. He invited her
to motor with him out in the country.
When they were near Goshen he slow
ed down the car, and, pointing to a
superb view Of hill and valley, with
lovely woodland and meadows, he
said.
Offers Her 81 100000 Home.
Here, nay dear. Does this beautiful
view appeal to you? Doesn't it make
your soul throb with Joy just to look
at it,"
Yes, it is very pretty; but cannot
see any picture in it,

her husband. And because it is, l

Your millions no longer have the
power to kill my artistic tempera-
ment. Oh, could live in hut
so long as l have a brush and
paints!"
This episode made very clear to the
husband that nothing he had to offer
would now affect his wife. Sadly he
returned to New York, and shortly
afterward his wife and children went
to Newport
They have been there all summer,
and runner has it that Mrs. Goelet will
keep her residence in that town all
winter In July Mr.. Goelet went to his
Canadian camp. AS a last desperate
appeal to his beautiful wife he sent
her several salmon that he had caught
with his own hands, but she could not
be won even with salmon any more
than with pearls.
All summer, while her friends have
been making a great effort to kill her
interest in art, and while her mother
has been urging her anew to think Of
the value of the wealth she seems to
be throwing aside, the would.be artist

scaId the Wool.

Before mending stockings with ordi-
nary darning yarn, IL is a good plan to
scald the skein or card over the spout
of kettle of boiling water. BY this
means the steam effectually shrinks
the wool and when the stocking is
sent to the wash there will be no
thought of the mended portion shrink
ing away or tearing the surrounding
part.

cellent example of the usual type OF
marabout muffs. Plain shapes are
more attractive than fancy shapes and
they are much prettier when undeco-
rated.
In spite of its airy and fragile APP
pearance. marabout wears very well.
1t is very much less expensive than
fur. If one has only small amount
of money to invest in a neck piece
and muff marabout makes much
better showing than furs at the same
price. Neckpieces may be had at
from So to S18, and muffs at about
the same price. Extra long and fine
pieces, or a liberal use OF ostrich
trimming. brings the price up. For
SIS very fair-looking set may be
bought either plain or with some os-
trich trimming
In the fancy colors and In white
with ostrich trimming, prices are
higher. A set with an extrayagart
length of stole and much fine ostrich
like that pictured. sells for not less
.aan $50. Even so, there is no fur
that will answer the same purpose
which costs anything like as little.
