Advance style hints tell us that
the three-piece suit is to be the
springs favorite garment. 1t IS
little wonder then that We find an
|enterprising designer bringing forth
a three-piece suit for late winter
wear, thereby beating the spring
styles by a few months. The three
piece suit for winter seems so very
practical for one prefers a one
piece frock in winter of some dark
color while fresh, light colored
blouse is always wanted in the
spring.
This three-piece suit is made OF
a henna colored material which is
imported. 1t resembles a wool
crepe. The skirt features a few
pleats at the side. The coat is long
beltless model made on full lines
with full sleeves. 1t Is rather Rus
sian or oriental in effect. A wide
band of silk braid edges the cuffs
and coat. A large collar of lovely
beaver is a finishing winter touch
to spring like mode. The band OF
embroidery which shows at the coat
edge and at the wrists is an inter-
esting hint Of what the frock OF
this three piece suit may be with
out the jacket.

IN VALENCIA
Ibanez Writes OF Love "Among
The Orange Trees"

The Torrent. (Entre Naranjos.)
BY Vicente Blasco Ibanez. Trans
lated from the Spanish by Isaac
Goldberg and Arthur Livingston
(E. p. Dutton & Coz
Unbounded romance. the fiery
passion of the Spanish race under
the warm southern skies in the
land of the sensuous orange BIOS
som, is the essence of 1.-THE Tor
rent" a late novel from the virile
hand of Ibanez. To those who first
read the noted Spaniard in his
monumental book of the war, 1.-THE
Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse"
the new story will be a surprise
and something Of disappoint-
ment. Love is a stirring theme,
but a powerful war story in war
time creates a more lasting i'm
preston.
1.-THE Torrent" Is the tale of the
struggle between the bohemian
and the bourgeoise when great
love is at stake. Leonora, the beauti-
full opera singer who has dazzled
kings and courtiers of many cour-
tries, returns to her native village
of Alcira in the province of Vaien-
cha, only to enchant the unsophis-
ticated Rafael Brull, who by acci-
dent of birth Is destined to be-
come the political leader Of the
community.
That Rafael should succumb to
the charms of Leonora is to be eX-
pected; that she returned his love,
she who called herself the prop
erty of everybody-and of nobody"
creates the situation which is diff
ficult to both. Rafael, the weaker
of the two, follows the line of least
resistance, however. and returns to
the conventional life of petty polit-
ical prominence and deadly domes-
ITCHY outlined for him, while the
prima donna goes off to new con-
quests.
There is much beauty Of descrip-
ton in the book Moments which
linger in the readers memory, the
night Of the flood of the Rio Jucar,
the magical spring night of the
lovers own under the orange blos-
SONS, and others are charmingly
depicted. The accounts of the re-
ligiouS superstition of the rural
people, their political intrigues
their respect for the "Brull dynas-
ty which had been bossing the
district for thirty years with ever
increasing power" are told with n
meticulous truthfulness easily ap-
preciated. L. L. L.

MARRIAGE


Flower of welded life yields
fruit of unhappiness.
! Brass" a novel Of marriage, by
| Charles G.. Norris &c. p. Dutton 81 Coz
Charles G. Norris bravely under
took comprehensive treatment Of
| education in his book, salt" Sat-
isfied by the result and encouraged
! by the appreciation of readers and
reviewers, he has made still more
courageous attempt-this time to
picture married life.
Brass is a lesson in matrimony.
considered carefully, its advice Is
not that of Puck, Don't" 1t
pleads rather for thoughtful DELHI
GRAFTON before entering the bonds;
| it advises against lightly casting
them aside, once they have been as
sumed.
For while, Philip Baldwin
thinks that the essence of marriage
lis partnership; but he comes to find
that the aim should be the success
of the home. Partners in frivolity
come only to grief; partners in
home building attain the goal Of
happiness.
Philip is physically strong and
morally weak. He cannot refuse an
expensive meal and an afternoon
at dice with his friends at a restau-
rant, even though 1t means bank
Iruptcy. He can stand and see his
first wife-the only woman he re-
ally loved-being torn from his
side and not lift his hand until he
knows it is too late. When they
are reunited, he allows her to
drift away again, never seeking to
Ihe.l the breach between them.
Later, he goes through an unsat-
isfactory type of companionship
with a woman older than himself.
Unable to break from It, he remains
inert until an outside force inter-
venes. He allows himself to be
drawn into match or away from
It; his Is not the deciding voice.
Philip Baldwin's affairs of the
heart are unfortunate, but they are
not discrediting to the institution
of marriage. They reflect the
weakness of Philip himself. Philips
brother, less favored in most re-
spects, finds marriage not a bur
den but a blessing because in his
mastery over external affairs he
builds n strong character which
meets, his wife's devotion more than
half way.
Philips sister, like himself, Is
tragically weak. The big city ruins
her simple honesty. Riches turn
her head. She fears the odium OF
a situation she herself created. She
octo
marriage and then enters another
alliance which no reasoning could
justify.
Marjorie Is one Of the few fine
characters. Adversely moulds in
her noble ideals. When both
Philip and she have failed in their
own married life and in other VENT
ures, they realize that then they
could make matrimony success.
Anyone not afraid to face the un-
pleasantness of life should be glad
to read Brass" The big theme Is
bravely done. At times, the metic-
ulous details become annoying, but
the abundance of the authors
wisdom based on observation Is a
never ending source Of amazement
The characters NAV be improp-
Ierly drawn at times. Plot construc-
ton may be weak. The book may
not reach its goal But no one can
say that the characters fail to in
terest. Neutrality with any is I'M
possible.
"Brass'' takes Its place beside
salt as a brave novel, written
with force and vividness, Interest,"
ing to the last.

ANSWERED. LETTERS.

A Reader: 1T would appreciate
your printing a recipe for turkey
stuffing. I don't seem to get 1t
just right"
Answer: There are several kinds
of stuffing that may be used with
roast turkey-chestnut. oyster, etc.
but will assume you mean that
good old stuffing which our grand
mothers made and which can't be
beaten:
Sage and Onion Stuffing: Peel
four large onions and put them
through the meat grinder or chop
them finely by hand. Then put
the chopped onion into a frying
pan with tablespoons Of butter
and let cook over mild heat until
slightly soft (about 10 minutes).
Now turn it. with the melted but
ter, into 1 quart of bread crumbs
and mix we'll. Add enough more
melted butter to moisten all the
crumbs and season with salt and
pepper to suit taste. Mix in l tea
spoon Of powdered sage and stuff
the bird with this.
Anxious: Twill you please let me
know how I can make my long
curtains cream color?"
Answer: Although you did not
say that your curtains are white,
I assume that they are--for no
other color could be changed to
cream. The first step in dyeing
them is to take them from the
windows and lay them flat on the
floor. Measure them with a tape
measure, jotting down their exact
size. Then wash them in mild
soap suds and luke-warm water;
rinse and let dry. Prepare q dye
bath with tea, testing the tint by
dipping a piece Of material the
same as the curtains into 1t and
letting this dry II the color Is

BEAUTY CHATS
KEEP THE ELBOWS PRETTY.
BY Edna Kent Forbes.

In these days Of short sleeves,
the elbows are always needing
some sort of special care. They
are so much exposed and so much
rubbed that dirt and dust is grimed
into them and the amount of
scrubbing necessary to keep them
clean dries them out so that they
become chapped and only pick
more CRIME than they did before.
The elbows must be treated
with cold cream or with olive OIL
This will keep the skin so soft and
smooth that it is less likely to take
up the same amount of dirt. If
you are stout so that the elbows
are round and smooth you will
never have very much trouble with
them. But If you are tall-under-
weight--the skin over the elbows
will seem to be stretched and
loose and to fall into all sorts Of
ugly lines and wrinkles.
So, If you are thin, you must
expect certain amount of trouble
in keeping the elbows pretty. You
can make them plump by rubbing
them with warm cocoa butter ev-
cry night. Or If you do not want
to do this you can try the old
fashioned method of sitting with
your elbows in a saucer of warm
olive Oil. In about ten minutes the
skin will absorb certain amount
of this oil and what remains on
the surface can be massaged into
the arm or wiped off with a soft
old cloth.
After such a thorough massage
with oil or cream, the elbows
should be rinsed in cold water or
rubbed with a little piece of ice
IL you have any handy. This as
tringent treatment tends to draw
up the loose skin. Then when you
dress to go out you will find that
you can rub a little powder into
the elbows and that they will be
as soft and white and smooth look
ing as you could desire. An excel
lent plan is to rub a little cream
into the elbows every time you rub
any over the face.

SOLDIER BONUS
To CONE UP IN
CONGRESS AGAIN
Question of Finding Sources
for Funds With Which to
Pay 1t Is the Chief
Stumbling Block.

Washington, Dec. 26.-Legisla-
tive plans for the congress call Tor
the enactment Of bills to encourage
the merchant marine, to provide O
bonus payment to former service
men, enact permanent tariff sched-
ules. and provide the regular APP
preparations. Representative Mon
dell, republican house leader, said
today after a conference with
President Harding.
"There are no definite propo-
sails on the merchant marine or
soldiers bonus which can be said
to have the approval of the ma
jority at this time" he said, but
the outline of subjects to be taken
I'D include both matters" Every
endeavor will be made in the
house, he added, to have all the
appropriation bills which originate
there, enacted by April 1, so as to
give the senate time to consider
them on final passage and adjourn
congress in June.
The question of finding sources
for funds with which to pay the
bonus, he asserted, was the chief
stumbling block for proposals for
such bill. Enactment of such a
measure, he added, would probably
require simultaneous creation of a
special tax to meet the outlay. Mr.
Mondell said he did not discuss
with the president the "remuner-
alton plan" for substituting mer-
chant ship operation, and he ex-
pressed the view that considerable
discussion would be required be-
fore congressional leaders could
adopt a plan of action on such a
measure.
There Is a possibility that Presi-
dent Harding will leave Washing
ton before New Years, for three
day trip to Pinehurst, N. c., but
no definite decision as to plans
has been reached.

after their conversation regarding

, Just right, dip your curtains into
the dye in the same manner. Then
dry them by stretching them on a
sheet on the floor, measuring them
with the tape-measure ESQ as to
get them the same size they were)
and pinnlng them with common
pins completely around the four
sides of each curtains, at the ex-
treme edge. II you spread the
sheet over q thick, large rug this
pinning will be easy. Open the
windows of the room so that they
will dry nicely. When dry all you
will have to do is press the edges
where the pin-marks are, with a
hot iron. Many housewives have
tried using coffee as a cream dye
instead Of tea, but this is apt to
leave a coffee odor--while tea
leaves no odor. If you prefer, you
can dye the curtains with one of
the excellent buff-colored tint-dyes
or soap-dyes sold at drug stores
and elsewhere. which do not re-
quire boiling.

CRAIG FORRESTER WHITES
MRS. WALTERS.
CHAPTER 40.

SA1SAI ~
In all the small matters per-
tanning to her life, Margaret Hay
den was in sense free to do as
she pleased. She did not now try
to justify her vanity, even to her
self, as she busted powder or APP
piled rouge to her face. After al
there was no reason why she
should not use both rouge and
powder If they made her look bet
ter. She was free now to do as
she liked. She was not Obliged
every moment of her life to live
up to the role of mother to a girl
past 16--almost a young lady.
Suddenly Margaret realized her
life seemed to have always been
lacking in life and color. This was
felt that never had she expressed
her real self; or developed her
personality. She had been too
busy giving Joan her opportunity
to develop. She felt inhibited, shut
in. She was like a flower which
tried to bloom in some dark room.
She longed to bask in the sunlight
Of freedom. More than anything
else did she long to be alone with
herself, away from acquaintance,
alone where she could give vent
to every feeling, follow every
within, no matter how foolish.
She resented more than ever be-
fore Joan's feeling that she was
old--too old to enjoy, to wear
pretty clothes, to, perhaps, love
and be loved. Joan thought her an
ancient dilapidated old person
good to keep house, darn stock
ings, and make pretty frocks for
her--Joan. Mrs. Hayden resented
another thing perhaps even more
forcibly. She wanted to be young
with Joan, to play together with
her as Joan played with the young
girls who had been her intimates.
She was passionately fond of this
daughter of hers who was so ter
ribly young, and so cruel with the
cruelty of youth.
Margaret thought of her in New
York, not alone, but with her
young friends. popular, sought aft
er, as she had been at home. She
thought of her as going to strange
and unusual places, as meeting In
teresting people, and longed to be
with her, share her adventures.
Yet Margaret was in no par
ticular hurry to leave; she took
time to go through her wardrobe,
