Necklaces of Berries

I wish to make necklaces of berries Of the mountain ash, but after they are strung few days they wither up. What can I do in such a case? What is the horoscope for October 2S?
 "ESTHER D." The berries should be fully ripe and firm before they are gathered. Unripe berries must wither in dryng. At least 1 assume that this is the cause of the shrinkage and shriveling you report, al- though l have no actual experience in making berry necklaces As I confessed yesterday, in reply to another applicant for horoscope. the Corner cannot un- dertake to read the stars.

Mrs. Eugene l.. Broom Talks About Chewing Gum,
 Automobiles and the Anti Tuberculosis Association
By DOLLY DALRyMPLE

You'd scarcely associate anybody as lovely as Mrs Eugene L. Brown with anything as commonplace as mere busi ness.
 Always beautifully gowned, always ex- quisitely groomed, always the dainty. charming, aristocratic, elegant southern woman, whose high bred air and regal manner make her one of the most nota- Die women in any assemblage, you'd nat urally think that when that most dread ful of all ogres, the interviewer, called on her early in the morning she'd be round in her boudoir in the loyeliest of pink peignoirs the curtains drawn and a huge box of chocolates near at hand
 But
 Listen
 It's the unexpected that always hap pens.
 When I sought an interview yesterday with Mrs. Brown on the subject of the campaign that is now in full blast at the Alabama State Fair for the Anti-Tuber- culosis association, of which she is the main exponent, l met her in the street. in smart tailor gown, pencil stuck be- hind her ear and her hands full of chew ing gum.
 Why the chewing gum?" I asked; 1T thought it was an automobile"
 Oh said Mrs. Brown, smiling we are just giving away the automobile. am really in the chewing gum business Won't you have some"
 Of course I couldn't resist-anv more than any of the thousands whom she ha asked to buy package of gum and take chance on the big Paige Detroit car. all Of which is helping to net neat little sum for the anti-tuberculosis camp on hed mountain, and in which everybody is interested
 What success have you had?" I asked
 Perfectly phenomenal" was the reply.
 nave been greatly impressed by the manner in which everybody has responded to the call It is the first time I have ever taken any active part in public life. II might call it such, and it has been very gratifying to see the way people have co-operated with us in the work There have been great many amusing incidents out at the fairgrounds
 or course, you will always find some people who are not responsive and the different excuses for not buying a pack age of chewing gum and taking a chance on the automobile are simply killing"

 Well, one man will saw, Mrs Rrow, continued, that he wouldn't have Paige-Detroit car because he'd never dr1Ven anything but a Hudson Another declared that a Packard is his favorite Stlii another says that the Cadillac is | the car he prefers.

 "The PaigeDetroit is really a splendid car as we all know,' Mrs. Brown went on to say. Tt is a real car and not q make believe, as some of those who look at it seem to think. It has real wheels, a carbureter, sparker, hood. steering gear, cylinders, batteries, emergency brakes, exhaust, fan wheel, and everything else that perfectly good car ought to have

Expressing Sympathy for Bereaved

Tn calling on friend who has recently nurled her husband. do I refer to his death CT wait until she does? D. D."
 Don't essay formal condolence. Say siinpiy ana sincerely in the course of the conversation that you have svmpathized with her in the great trouble that has come to her. and wish you could offer more than sympathy. Then follow her lead. If she is disposed to talk of her bereavement, listen and reply gently and kindly. Sometimes it is relief to open the heart to one who can enter into the sorrow. Should she be disinclined to con verse upon the subject, do not pursue it. In short, be guided by good taste and the thought of how you would wish to be treated were you in trouble.

Birthday Gift for Girl Friend

T wish to ask you what would be the most proper thing to give girl friend of mine for a birthday present. She will be sweet sixteen, is an orphan, and works for her living. Something that will not be too expensive. S. T."
 All depends upon the girls taste. Why not embroider her inntials upon half dozen handlzerchiefs, or make pretty bchu and jabot for her-a little more elaborate than she is likely to buy for herself? Or if you have no skill in nee dlework get hand glass for her toilet table with her initials on the back. Get something that will not be thrown aside as useless bric-a-brac in a few months. Afticles that are ornamental and nothing more lose value with keeping and degen- crate into "trumpery" after while Con suit your friends needs no less than her Iancies and give something she can use with grateful thoughts of the donor
