For Your Books Sake.

1t is a mistake to think that book
cases that have glass fronts are any
better protection for your books than
open shelves. 1t has been demon
strated that books really need the
ventilation afforded by a free circu-
lation of air. Books kept under glass
really do not remain in such good
condition as those in the open.
Leather covers especially become
dried and crumble when left always
under glass doors.
The chief advantage of closed book
shelves is that they keep the dust
from your books. and dust does have
bad effect. For this reason you
should be sure that when your rooms
fully covered with busting cloths to
keep out the dust. The vacuum
cleaner usually makes such pre-
caution unnecessary. There is al
ways more circulation of dust at the
floor than higher up. Hence the de-
built with a wooden foundation so
that the bottom row of books does
not come within six or eight inches
of the floor.
Frequent use, of course. is about
the best remedy for letting books be-
is bad for books to permit them to
stand crooked in the bookcase. as
they always do if books are with
drawn, allowing the other books to
fall down.
When busting books, of course, it
is a mistake to use damp dust
cloth. There is nothing better than
one of the small attachments of the
vacuum cleaner. If you would have
your books keep free from dust go
over them at least once a week with
this appliance without taking the
books out. This keeps the surface
dust from accommodating and getting
into the binding and paper of the
books.

GINGERBREAD Dolls.

These are especially nice to serve
at a children's party. Sift three cups
of flour, three teaspoonsful of baking
powder. one-third teaspoon of salt
and one-fourth teaspoon of ginger to-
gether. Mix two-thirds cup of mo-
lasses. one-third cup of brown sugar,
one egg and one-third cup of melted
shortening together. Add the dry in
gradients to make a soft dough. Shape
in the form of little men. animals
or plain cookies on creased pan
and bake in a moderate oven for ten
or twelve minutes. The dolls can b.
made by forcing the dough through
creased pastry bag or cornucopia
made with plain letter paper. When
baked tear the paper away. Use thu
tops of cloves, dried currants and rice
for making the faces and buttons on the
coats. To make colored coats use the
following colored icing:
Add one-half teaspoonful of butter
to two tablespoonful of hot milk; ado
one and one-half cups of confectioners
sugar slowly to make the right consis-
tency to spread; add one-haf teaspoon
full of vanilla extract. II pink icing is
wanted, add one tablespoonful of straw
berry or other fruit juice. For yellow
icing add one teaspoonful of egg yoll
and flavor with orange rind and one tea
spoonful of lemon juice.

special joy in it. 1t was no different
from any other day in winter when
they awoke and started out wondering
IL there was such a thing as a full
meal anywhere
But before jolly, round. bright Mr.
Sun was halfway UP in the blue. blue
sky each had learned that this was a
very different day, day of Joy. 1t
was Christmas day. the day of gifts
and the joy of giving and receiving, of
loving remembrance. and they were not
forgotten. No. sir. they were not for
Farmer Browns Boy and his UNDER
standing heart
Early that morning Farmer Browns
Boy started out. dragging sled, and
on that sled were many gifts. First, he
stopped in the Old Orchard and to sew
Vsuet and in one he hung a bone with
shreds of meat clinging to it. In an
other he fixed a little shelf and on this
left chopped nut-meats. Tommy Tits
bright eyes spied these at once.
Dee. dee dee" he cried joyously.
Merry Christmas replied Farmer
Browns Boy, and whistled merrily as
he started on. for already Yank Yank
the Nuthatch was fea sting on one piece
sof suet and Drummer the Woodpecker
hn another and Sammy Jay was walt
ing only to make sure that there was
no trick and that all was as safe as II
seemed
Down in the far corner of the Old
Orchard was a shelter of brush which
Farmer Browns Boy had put there Tor
Bob White and his family. and here he
scattered grain generously and laughed
happily as Bob and his family came
running out fearlessly to get it.
Over in the Green Forest he left
corn and nuts for Happy Jack the Gray
Squirrel and Rusty the Fox Squirrel and
Chatterer the Red Squirrel. and grain
and corn for Thunderer the Ruffled
Grouse and Mrs. Grouse Then he left
the Green Forest and tramped across to
the dear Old Briar Patch. and there
he left part of a cabbage and some small
turnips and two or three carrots and
a couple OF apples for Peter Rabbit and
little Mrs. Peter.
Last OF all he tramped over to the
edge of the Old Pasture. and in GER
tain place he was sure Reddy FOX
would visit he left a splendid dinner OF
scraps of meat and big bone with
plenty Of meat ciinging to IT, And at
and when at last he tramDed back
Toward home IL seemed to the little peo-
he of the Green Forest and the Green
Meadows that that whistle was the nner-
rfeat sound they ever had heard. Their
own voices became merry as they
Toasted, and in their hearts they hoped
that Farmer Browns Boy was as happy
a. he had made them.
And you know and / know that ne
was happier than they. for there is no
happiness like the happiness Of making
hthers happy And this Is how Christ
mas was made merry for the little peo-
pin of the Green Forest and the Green
Meadows.

When to Telephone.

The only time when a carefully
written note is not as courteous as a
telephone message is when the time
speed Of the telephone message would
make it preferable. But there are
countless instances where telephoned

letter and some where the substitution

you want the addresses of some half
dozen persons from a friend. Do not
ask her to give them to YOU over the

at the time that you phone. She may
be receiving guests and your question
will, if she answers it, necessitate her
going in search of the address book or

CAPE FASHION OF THE HOUR
BY ANNE RITTENHOUsE.

In the days when men led the fash
ions. wore the ornamental clothes and
had themselves written up in the his
tory of the time in such manner
that they went down to posterity as
ISOLATED with certain fashions as well
as certain political events. James l
of England staggered about in a
short full cape.
That cape is repeated on the streets
of America this season. 1t Is worn by
the young, who swagger as much as
did James the First. They call it
"swank" in these days. Swagger is
good old English. and may have been
taught in the trenches. from which
comes the American use of the Brit
ish army word
The Cape Swin.s..
James and his followers let their
cloak swing backward from the shoul-
der in much the way the men of the
Austrian army did. Undoubtedly there
was more dash and daring in the ap-
pearance when the cloak was worn in
that careless manner: but the Amerl-
can climate demands a cloak for
warmth and not entirely as a back
ground; nor do we wear warm
doublet padded over the chest and fit
ted to the chin.
Possibly our young women will
adopt this fashion as the months
proceed. There is so strong an incli-
nation toward the fashions of that era
among the men and women who de-
sign with daring. that much is to be
expected and everything will be toler-
ated, especially by the purists. There
is no immodesty in doublets and
cloaks. No tinge of Babylon is per-
no ho
his faults. but they were not those of
Asia and Africa.
The cloak as it is worn today is
distinct change from the cape that
France persuaded us to wear. sinsly
and in mass. the cape that covers the
continent 1t is broad at the elbows.
narrow at the knees. The new cape
Is in striking contrast to it. 1t is

Peter Rabbit.
1t was Christmas morning. Rusty the
I Fox Squirrel didn't know this when he
poked his head out of his snug, warm
home to have his nose pinched by Jack
Frost Mrs. Grouse didn't know it as
she tried to decide whether to break
fast on bitter sprucebuds or go up to
the edge of the Old Orchard to look for
frozen apples. Peter Rabbit didn't
know it as he sat on the edge of the
dear Old Briar Patch and looked across
the snow-covered Green Meadows and
wished he could find something besides
bark to eat Chatterer the Red Squirrel

Mouse, nor any of the other little peo-
pie of the Green Forest and the Green
Meadows, now no longer green lat
sparkling white.
To all of them it was just another
day in which to hunt for food hard to
find, but absolutely necessary to keep
warmth in their bodies. There was no

this hem is cut off at the hips.
When France introduced the box
coat with its f1aring hem she stadted
new movement in short wraps. The
fashion is not dominant: it is barely
perceived in this country; but it will
have its innings when spring arrives.
There is not as much grace in the new
short cloak as in that mysterious. en-
veloping wrap which gave to the most
demure woman the air of being a bit
of a desperate.

lish coat worn by men. not by women.
The fabric is gray cloth and the i'm
mense collar and vest are of squirrel.
This is an animal that was not con-
sidered a part of fashion in the days
when the courtiers of James few their
short coats in the wind, but, now it
gives up its life through wholesale
killing to clothe half the women of
the civilized world. One feels that
the little hide must give way to an
excellent imitation in the near future.
The squirrels will be dead.

Still Booming

One of the largest, best and most
fiourishing fraternal organizations in
Newark is Licking Aerie No. 337,
Fraternal Order Of Eagles, whose
membership jumped from 397 to 1872
between Nov. l, 1919 and June 1st,
1920. The order wants a million men,
Der by January 1st, and the Newark
boys are going to bring their number
up to the thousand mark by that
time, and an active drive is now in
progress to accomplish that end. Ohio
leads the United States, having at
present more members than any three
states in the union combined.
