THE BRIDES
OWN STORY

Making the Daily Table Attractive.
Never since my little girl days have
been able TO understand why all the
best things we're saved for com
pany." Company" dined off tho fat

how used TO yearn for a condi-
ton where one would always De

Mother trotted out the very besc
china and linen and other tableware
when company" dined with US.
There were some few extra delicacies
for the salad and dessert. although
must admit that the more substan-
tial portions Of the meal weren't a
whit superior than we had each DAY.
for mother does keep a very good
table. Goodness knows | didn't be-
grudge company" all the goodies,
but in my heart I was deeply jealous
that the rare visitor should be
honored with the dainty table serv-
ice and attractively garnished dishes,
and that our family appetites were
not honored or tempted this way
each day.
Worse confession. l haven't out
grown the jealousy, and I'm going
to make up for lost time when.I keep

I'm going to spend part Of my arts

that one only gets real benefit from a

Funny Place Cards

Humorous place cards are a great
"ice breaker" at a dinner or luncheon.
Obtain secretly from the family Of
each invited guest a small photograph
Of the one invited to the luncheon.
After soaking the pictures loose from
their mountings cut out the head OF
each one. Mount each on an oblong
rough edged card or water-color pa
per, says the Washington Sunday
Star.
After tintlng the faces change each
one as your fancy dictates. For the
sweet. hower-like girl paint a flower
not with q blooming plant and her
face peeping forth from the petals OF
flower. Have the fun-loving girl
with a smile on her lips dress as a
fool. with cap and bells. The modest.
retiring girl should be made into a
ballet dancer, spinning about on one
toe. This requires very little skill
with the brush, as any OF these many
subjects may be copied from pictures
with perfect success.

Isn't it sweet?" And she held up
bit of pale blue satin.
Mary Elizabeth nodded gloomily.
YES. What is it2"
"A sachet for nurse Nelhe's

loveliest sachet inside. violet, the
kind she always uses. And it's

"Oh, you always know how to

now look!" Angry tears were in
her eyes as she held up the apron.
This threads all knotted, right in
the front where It'll show. What
am 1 going to do now? I guess
I'll tear the old thing up!"
"Give 1t to me-" cried Dorothy
hastily. don't tear It up, Mary
'Lizbeth." Patiently she worked at
the knot and at last untangled it.
Now be careful" she commanded,
handing the apron back, land don't
try to sew too fast. You'd>get along
better, too, If your thread wasn't so
long. Mother says a good dress

Thanks" said Mary Elizabeth
gratefully II don't like a short
thread cause you have TO keep
threading needles and making new
knots all the time. And my knots
are always lumpy."
For few moments they sewed in
silence. At least Dorothy sewed in
silence. Mary Elizabetf's progress
was punctuated with signs and
grunts and shiftings OF her long
legs.
Pretty soon she said:
I'm tired Of sewing on this old
thing. ! guess I'll work on mothers

something nice and new and pretty
to work on, like your sachet bag"
Dorothy frowned.
Mary 'Lizbeth, If you had a

commented Mary Elizabeth, next

And up she bounced to meet her,

What to Give Mother

Everyone wants some particularly
WELL chosen gift for mother" But
what shall 1t be? The best mothers
usually make their choice a difficult
one by insisting that they don't
want anything" There must be

will fill your needs, says an ex-
change.

THE ALL-BLACK FROCK
IS LIKED THIS SEASON

The all-black frock is enjoying a
vogue this season that 1t has not
known before in several years. It
is quite as popular as the black-and-
white effects or the robes that are
pailletted In colors, says an exchange.
The difference between the all
black and the iridescent gowns, the
two most alluring models among this
seasons patlletted evening gowns, is
one of outline. Whereas, In the
moyenage reproduction the lines are
kept severe, because the materials
are undraped, in order to produce
early Grecian effects, similar fabrics
are vaguely, always arttstically'
swathed about the figure. Neither
type of gown is really suitable to
wear to a dance. But both types are
ideal for formal dinners, as they ap-
pear to the utmost advantage In
rooms lofty and spacious.

Belts of the Moment

Military belts are in order. They
are of gilt and colored braid, and the
alest novelty OF this kind has knot
and band at the side through which
IS looped a walking stick that looks
for all the world like short sword.
A belt made of successive layers OF
scalloped material is an odd finish for
a dress that has the bottom of the
skirt scalloped and bound in braid.
Try this IL you wish something new
and If you are slender at the waist
line, says an exchange.
The monks cord Is a narrow finish
at the belt line, and after circling the
waistline is dropped at the side and
tied in a knot.
A medieval belt has come back with
the dress that suggests the moyen
age. It has a broad embroidered band
and a front cincture that drops hall
way down to the floor.
