prOvements should not-can not
alter the rich Yuletide spirit which
has been handed down to us by
our fathers. Rather should we
look to all the modern improve
ments and helps which have beer
evolved to beautify and make the
home more comfortable and con

Day personifies.
Electric Decorations.
In the matter of Christmas deco
rations we have all Che old-time
features with that most wonderful
of all secvants-electricity our
command to create effects and
adornments impossible and hopeless
before it's advent.
Holly and mistletoe. How rerni'
niscent of the past both these holi'
day plants are!
The table decorations can be
simple or elaborate, depending en-
tirely upon the size Of the table. A
most effective decoration is a Ininia'
ture Christmas tire placed in the
center, and standing in a bed OF
moss and holly in which there can
be placed a few colored animal
shaped lights. The whole should
be busted with artificial snow.
Candlesticks and lighted candles
are also part of tradition on the
Christmas dining table. But do not
have the light below the eyes.
Usually this Is very difficult to
manage because the dinner lasts
quite long time and the candles
burn down. For this reason 1t rs
better to use electric candles, which
dinner party has been spoiled by
bad lighting or by candle shades
catching fire, to say nothing Of
dripping and smoking wax.
Other MOdeF Blessings.
Must we further enumerate oil
the blessings which electricity brings
every. home that has accepted its
service?
The well-browned and extra sue
culent Christmas trukey or goose or
pig? For the good things our fore
bears had are ours also, but doubly
tasty-doubIy healthful because the
efficient electric range has replaced
the smoky open fireplace with its
crude and laborsome spit requiring

AID To WOMEN
IN TRADE
Helps Them to Maintain Their
Homes, New York Leader Of
Business League Says.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2O.-Modern
business women-who have become
a numerous group in every large
city-are not forsaking their homes
for their careers: instead they have
both, according to Mrs. Elizabeth
Sears, president of the New York
Business and Professional Women's
League.
Electricity has minimized the eff
fort and time required to make a
satisfying home," she says, until
women have to deny neither their
ome-making instinct nor their bust
ness ambitions" Mrs. Sears state
ment was made upon the occasion Of
the publication of the annual report
Of the League, showing that of its
$50 members in New York city, less
than twenty live in hotels or board
ing houses.
In giving the bulk Of the credit
to electricity, Mrs Sears said:
Electricity has made us indie
pendent of even our house servants.
Who wants somebody to get break
fast for her when her electric per-
colator is merely waiting for her
to plug 1t in to be busy making
delicious coffee while she dresses,
and there Is a toaster or grill
ready to cook the rest of her break
fast?
In her determination to be we'll
groomed and attractive. the woman
who works has no more powerful
ally than her electric iron. We
women who work side by side with
men and have proved our worth
know that. we are far more valuable
when we are earnest women than
when we are imitation men. The
charm of women's personal appear
ance. has never been more important
than now, so it behooves us to
make a lasting acquaintance with a

because, although it strives to pro
mote the great home instinct; yet
it recognize the presence of modern
conditions and modern methods.
Modern conditions include the alb.
sorbing modern interests and exact
ing modern occupations; modern
methods, in this case, are embodied
in electricity, which has much TO
do with providing the opportunity
amid modern conditions to Great"
homes that will in each instance
be a "home, sweet home"
Those who visit this attractive
dwelling, set among the guardian
trees of a spacious lawn, within
sights of the Washington monu-
ment, find it more comfortable and
more convenient, in material way
than John Howard Payn9's old
home could possibly have been. It's
electricity that makes the big diff
ference.
It's electricity that enables the
individual who enters the national
Home, Sweet Home" house to
press a switch and illuminate the
hall in advance of stepping over
the thresholds; and then to illumi-
nate each room before he enters it
and to turn off the lights in the
room he has just left-in brief, ito
spread a path of light before him"
Other COnveniences.
It's electricity, also, which pro.
vides the means for washing, iron
ing, cleaning and cooking with a
minimum of labor and a maximum
of leisure in which to cultivate
those characteristics of mind and
soul that alone actually make a
home, SWEEP nome"
In building this novel dwelling,
as an incentive to the movement
for better homes throughout the
United States, the most recent cleo
trical features were put in, such as
G.-E. tumbler switches, and those
three-way and four-way lighting
switches which give control of the
lights from almost any point. There
bier switches, and twenty-one G.-E.
convenience outlets. The recon.
mendations of General Electric
house wiring specialists were fol-
lowed in making these installations.
Electricity Is Not All.
Some might think that electricity
alone is being relied upon to make
the sort of home, sweet nome" that
stirred Payne's heart, and through
him has stirred the home instinct
which millions feel from one gen.
Grafton to another. This is not
true: the National Federation of
Women's Clubs recognizes cleo
tricity merely as one of the ma
terial helps.

The olden ages were reputed to

this manifested to such a degree
as at Yuletide when the huge
Christmas log was dragged in amid
a triumphal procession of baked
geese, venison, stuffed sucking pig,
and other delicacies to be set down
before the assembled guests in the
banqueting halls of knight or
merchant.
We can all imagine how the
air hung with the rich odors of
meats and pastries and with what
gusto the tasty and succulent It'd
bits were cut up by the expec-
tant guests with knives. and dag
gers and washed down with cop
ious draughts Of castle-brew and
old wines.
Let us not repine too much, for
if these brave days of past years
are gone, never to be repeated,
there are numerous advantages of
the days we enjoy. which my fair

POLA REHEARSES
BEFORE A Mirror
Foreign Star Begins Work on
Bella Donna.
By JAMES w. DEAN

7 EV YORK, Feb. 17.---Pola Negri
N went back to first principles to
\ prepare herself for her first
American picture, Bella Donna" For
ten days she rehearsed her role before
a mirror. That's the way high school
students do for their class plays.
Pola Negri IS rapidly becoming
Americanized. In her European pic
lures there were few or no close-ups.
When she saw the ''rushes" of herself
in her first few days work at Holly
wood she was delighted with the close
ups. Look. the beeg heads!' she
cried. All during the progress of film
ing the picture she would stop to de-
mand a "beeg head" And that's the
way with most of our American stars.
They want ''beeg heads so the fans
con feast on their pulchritude. And
the screen can starve for art, the art
that comes when a player submerges
self In character.
If Negri's ego has sprouted a bit
since America has acclaimed her as
the great artist she really is, she still
is in no great danger of overwhelming
her art with herself, not as long as
she possesses high school girl enthu-
siasm and spends long hours rehears-
ing before her mirror.
On and of tho screen Negu wears
only white or black or combinations
of the two. In Bella Donna" she IN
sisted that her gowns should follow
her own color scheme. She sought
to have her colors coincide with the
dramatic tempo Of the play. Thus in
the early part Of the picture she is a
woman whom fate has brought to the
point Of suicide. In that sequence she
wears black negligees and gowns.
Later a new interest enters her life
and in this period of comparative hap
piness white predominates in the cos
tune scheme.
Recently I wrote that Baby Peggy
needed more substantial stories Il she
is to be regarded as more than a cute
kid. Now word comes from Holly
wood that Dickens ''Ye Olde Curiosity
Shop" is being considered as a vehicle
for a five-reeI picture for her and that
negotiations have practically been
closed with Maeterlinck for a story
written especially for Baby Peggy.
