To Broken-Hearted BETSY

Have you told me all the facts of the
case about this marriage? Did this
young man ask you to be married by
priest and did he explain to you that
the Catholic Church does not recognize
marriage between one of it's members
and one of another faith unless it is
performed by priest? If he did and
YOU insisted on being married the other
way you took matters into your own
hands and made him act against his con
science and would be responsible for the
consequences.
1t is true that according to the state
you are married legally. but according
to His conscience you are not. Now.
it may be that this man was not
practical member of his church and is
simply taking this rule as an excuse
to get out of it. I would strongly ad-
wise against divorce, but l would ad
wise that you offer to be married by
priest. Then he will have nothing to
stand up against. | would advise also
that you call on a Catholic priest and
explain gll the circumstances to him and
get from him an opinion on the sub

For a Church Social

To the Editor Of Womdn's Page:
Dear Madam-A dozen of us young
girls are planning a church social to be
given in January and we should greatly
appreciate some suggestions as to deco
rations, games to be played and re-
1reshments. A READER.
If you will send me self addressed
envelope, i will send you some games
for the social For refreshments have
some kind of salad, sandwiches, cake
and coffee, or hot chocolate. You could
have ice cream if it would not be too
expensive.
Save all your Christmas trees, after
the trimming is taken off. and use them
as decorations for your party. Instead
of balls and ,tinsel have them abloom
with pink and white popcorn blossoms,
Fasten a pin through the popcorn and
stick it on the end of each branch. with
a dozen of these trees you would hardly
need any other decorations, but if Won
do, you could make canopy effect of
pink and white crepe paper in strips
and have lattices of it on the walls.

The custom of New Years calling is
very old indeed and in the years of long
ago the Beau BrummcllS and dandics of

The mummers who are abroad this

prevailed for many centuries.

show as much as is expected of us how
many friends we would have.
To be popular one must be unselfsh.
Instead of wanting everything to come
our way we must put our efforts and
energy toward serving our friends. This
is a give and get life and the more we
give the more will come in return. We

a Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose


Il always survival of the iittcSt.
Each season many models cf hats,
suits, evening frOcks and coats arc
launched, and no one knows just which
one in each class will make itself pre-
eminent.
IT may be that you are in need of
wrap-something that you can wear
in the afternoon or for less formal af-
fairs in the evening The first thing to
remember is that the smartest wraps
are simple. In fact, the type of wrap
that has won out is actually plain.
Yet it has the right look, that indie
finable something that makes the woman
who wears it look at once elegantly and
suitably dressed. There need be no
metallic trimming about it. no lace or
ostrich or hand embroidery, no eXpen-
sive fur-and these things have all been
heralded before now as this season char
acterizing some of the smart wraps.
] am showing you in the picture the
sort of wrap ! have in mind. 1t ex-
plains itself. There are the essential
details-up and down sleeves, shoulder
yoke, straight line of material that gives
the slight bulge through the middle and
the whole terminating midway between
ankles and knees.
If you are ambitious enough to
imagine that you can devise this your
self or with the aid of the dressmeker
BY the day. it may interest you 10
know that if you are slender you may
make the wrap of material fifty four
inches wide, using the one width. This
straight piece may be gathered either to
a shoulder yoke or to the wide straight
piece that forms the collar.
