UNAPPRECIA1EO
 TRUISMS

We hold these facts to be prov ed:
 That no husband ever wants his wife to call on him at his office dur ing business hours except upon his invitation.
 That no wife can possibly know how she upsets his routine, disor- ders the mental processes that go on during those hours, and subjects her. self to the gossip of his office mates
 That there is no easy way to make a wife see this.
 We proceed from these truisms to a few observations
 A lovely creature brLezes into her husbands office just because she hap pens to be passing.
 She says, Now, don't let me d1s- turb you a minute-I know you are busy. Dearie, what good does tha, desk Night do you at that angle Don't you know you will ruin your eyes What a mess your desk Is in! Look at MT. Oficemate's, how neat it is. We'll, just let me stick this little packags in your lower drawer, and you bring 1t home with you when you come. O-O, Dearie, just opened that drawer to slip this pack age in it and I couldn't help seeing that bill from Smith's-and you told me it was paid.''

THE VOGUE OF GARMENTS
 CHINESE

We are much indebted, just at pres ent, to the Chinese for inspiration in our interior decorating. We have many times acknowledged that fact.
 But now we are also indebted to the Chinese for many charming things about our clothes. This is partly be- cause the French designers have look cd to that part of the Orient for in- spiration. It is partly. too, because 1t seems to be easier now to make imports from China and Japan than from Europe. Hence our shops are filled with lovely bits of Chinese em- broidery and brocaded silk-and we must, perforce make them wearable.
 One novelty is the stock collar of rich Chinese embroidery, with full jabot below it in front of lace or fine muslin, lace trimmed. These jabots are often made to give sort of one- sided effect-that is, they are much fuller on one side than on the other, There are often little cuffs, quite snug, fastening with snappers, to wear with these collars.

Some Attractive Ways Of
 Distributing Xmas Gifts

Half the value of a gift lies in the way it is presented-not alone in the generous or delicate spirit that is manifested, but in the actual way it is wrapped and conveyed and the con. dition in which it is received. Even beautiful article may fail to bring to us just the loving message intend. ed if 1t seems to have been prepared for us in half-hearted fashion, Awkward bungling or insufficient wrapping and packing give the im- pression of careless haste, sometimes of indifference. Gifts must express loving thought and not give the idea that mere duty has been fulfilled. White wrappings of tissue should be the first envelope. Articles to be packed in excelsior or even in shredded paper should have the first white wrapping which encloses the card. Flat pictures that are placed between cardboard to prevent bend- ing should have wrapping, and the cardboard itself looks more inviting if smoothly covered with white paper that has it's corners caught with 'stickers."
 Security is,. of course, of the great. est importance, attractiveness second but with little thought and time, the gift may have both.
 In point of attractiveness, ol course, the addressing comes next, but in point of importance it is first,

for delayed gifts, or gifts that reach their destination with more money. or any money, to be paid for transpor' tation fail in expressing just the right spirit.
 There are many effective ways of presenting gifts in the home and a little air of mystery-even about the simplest gtft-promotes pleasurabls feeling, in families where there are children the tree is, of course, the regulation way. and they prefer that tom, and where things are bulky, it is necessary to group them at the foot of the tree. The Christmas stocking will never be delivered from it's place in the hearts of children. Whatever illusions and traditions circle round the stocking, they are time-honored and unchangeable. It is with the grown-ups that there is permitted a diversified style of presenting gifts.
 In large families it is sometimes es desirable to have a common recepta. cle for presents that come by mail ir the days preceding Christmas A large basket, left in the custody of some one member of the family makes a convenient place to deposit gifts after they are wrapped and directed. On Christmas morning the gifts ara either delivered at the various doors. or the family assemblies to have the contents of the basket distributed by one of the children.

 OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT

her, into her high station, the hatred she has always felt toward the ruling class of her country. She is banded with a group of revo1utionists, ana she has promised to carry out their will insofar as she is able.
 The Chief of the Secret Police is first to come under the power of her enmity. Then, one after another, several high governmental officials, who have exercised tyrannical powers over the populace, are killed. The great moment comes when Lisza Is commanded to assassinate her own husband, now Prime Minister.

 Like many another, her work in school plays led her to the profess eional stage. Bven as a child Miss Frederick displayed exceptional emo- tional talent, but she wisely put aside aspirations to become-a second Mod fiesta overnight, and took up her training in farce and the higher class burlesque.

 The tremendous success of this pie ture sealed her fate and she at once took her place as star in the bright gallery o6 picture stars and attained heights of emotional success never reached on the speaking stage.
 Some of her great picture successes are Sold" "Zaza," Lydia Gilmore, '' 'BeIIa Donna" 'fSappho," "' ''The Love That Lives" Sleeping Fires" 'Her Better Self" and many others.
 Miss Frederick Is of medium height five feet four inches-has blue eyes and brown hair and weighs about 1SC pounds, She .s an expert automobile driver. crack shot, a musician, a 1inguist and a thorough Sportswoman.

ETIQUETTE

When message s written on a visiting card a line should be drawn through the engraved name and the full name or initials written.
 Esmera1da-There was a time, a generation or two ago, when 1t was considered sign of the most exquisite refinement always to keep the little finger sticking stiffly out and separ- ated as far as possible from the other fingers. It was an age of affectation At about the same time it was fash ionable for women walking on the street to let the arms hang in de- cided curve, the elbows crooked away from the body. Nothing more ab- surd and unsightly could have been imagined. Unnatural poses, affecta- ton and mannerisms, as well as set forms of speech are out of vogue now adays, and simple, graceful attitudes have taken their places. When lift ing cup or a glass, or otherwise using thes hands, keep the little fingers curved in line with the othe fingers
 x. Y. Z.-You had better divide your attention equally among several girls. It would be very foolish, as well as improper, for boy of 1T to devote himself exclusively to one girl.
