TO PREVENT CANDLES
 FROM DRIPPING

A Sunday-night supper by candle light or a holiday meal by candle light are occasions in ones memory Now that the Christmas season ap- breaches, ones mind reverts to candles and to candle-Eght meas.
 But perhaps you were the hostess at a candle-Iight meal last year dur ing the holidays and after it was all over you had a tallow-stained table linen to bear witness to the fact! Did you resolve never again to set lighted candles upon your table?
 If you did, you can take it all back now, for you can set them upon your table, have them burn during the en- tire meal and not see a sign of any drippings-
 If you will varnish your candles with plain shellac they will not drip. Painting them with water colors will have the same result. Incidentally this is a good way to have candles the color you want them without going to all the trouble of hunting through number of shops to get just a cer- tain color.

 One point which Professor Perkins raised to disprove the clafm that there would be severe disturbances of the Earth caused by the arrangement of the planets was that such a group ing cid not happen instantaneously. He pointed out that it takes consider able time before the planets arrive in such position and said that because of this slow motion nothing more se- were than possible electrical disturb

If you would be an up-to-the-u1in- ute color artist in dress you will have a water green frock for yourself or for your little girl. This simple lit tie frock Is far removed from the usual when you see it in coloI, just because it Is developed in water green. A canary yellow piping goes around the neck just as closely as possible and extends down the left side front to the belt, It appears again upon the cuffs.
 The cord which faces together over the opening of the frock combines both the green and yellow. And just to prove how artistic the frock real ly is, there are artistic pallets em- brcidered upon it. These are done in canary, of course. Perhaps you thought embroidery was used also for the eyeIets through which the cord is strung? No. They are small brass rings which have been crocheted over with canary and then fastened to the frock.
