Choosing Your Own Vocation

commercial mind thinks in terms OF
trades and profits.
Then there are those characteristics
that belong to your mechanical column.
Mechanical talents express themselves
in many ways, but a mechanic likes to
look into" things, not because of
curious turn Of mind, but because
things that are put together interest
him. He likes to work with his hands,
and to understand mechanical contriv-
ances. As a boy he liked to take
things to pieces, and, if his construc-
tive nature was high, put them together
again. 1t is easy for one of a mechanical
turn of mind, to understand mechanics.
Very often boys who have an analy-
teal mind, and who like to undertake
things that challenge their analysis mis-
understand this as implying a mechan-
inclination. At the present time there
there are thousands of boys throughout
the country who planning on becoming
electrical engineers because they have
temporary interest in radio. There
was a time when most boys wanted to
be mechanical engineers. There are
vocational epidemics as there are cpl
denies of smallpox and scarlet fever.
Facial Characteristics
A person who is artistic has certain
facial signs that indicate q leaning
toward some branch of art. If you
will go to your monograph record
book and turn to the picture of Rosa
Ponselle and others of that distinct
type, you will find the facial artitsic
signs.
The artistic eye differs from the
commercial eye. 1t is bit larger and
leans just bit toward the emotional
eye; it shows that it's possessor feels
deeply and it may be little dreamy
in appearance. The brows are curves,
and so are all the features of the face.
The curves are not the same curves
found in round fat face. The curves
are soft. Some types of or trequires me-
chanical ability which modifies the
above artistics curve, but just the same
the face is, in every case, the artistic
type.
The mechanical face is angular The
bones are angular, and if the mechanical
ability is of very high type, there
should also be mathematical ability as
well. The back part of the temples of
pure mechanic are pronounced in their
development. William S. Hart is angu-
lar, and while he does not do the work
of mechanic, he has mechanical COM
prehension. McAdoo is angular and
mechanical. A vocational psychologist
can tell an artist and mechanic across
the street at first glance.
There are so many commercial faces
that they are hard to designate without
pictures printed on glossy paper. There
are, however, certain well defined char
acteristics common to the usual person
who is better suited for commercial
career tina many other.
Usually the commercial head is wide

keynote of the scene OF decoration.
As the courses follow each other, in

develops. Serve in the soup, single

of Christmas. The entree sounding a
still clearer note-little ramekins rest

bright scarlet berries. The vegetables
were garnished with green.

first bit of holly; set closely as a bor-

smiles until you just can't wait any
longer, take it off and pour it into
warmed bowl.
If there is anything but turkey that

isfies the eye and pleases the inner
man at Christmas? Ducks may come
and geese may go, and chicken is
mighty good you know, but when 1t
comes Christmas day, the roasted COB
bier comes to stay with gravy and with
more gravy.
The Compliment Sincere
When the day is over and all the
guests have departed did you ever steal
down to the ice box or pantry for, a
last morsel of the festive bird?
And, oh, joy, as you drew from the
| ice box the remains-looking for all
the world like the battered hulk OF a
ship wrecked vessel-do you recall the
thrill with which the odor of the cold
fowl burst upon your senses! just to
flake off bits of the dark meat alternat-
| ing with tender bits of white.
If you did these things joyously, reck-
lessly, unmindful of consequences, then
you know the real flavor, the indie
scribable flavor of roast turkey, for only
to such midnight providers are its rarest
| charms revealed.
Turkey Isn't Everything
Add a few frills to your old dishes
and give your Christmas dinner new
note of up-tO-dateness.
Serve the cranberries in a salad
spiced or an ice instead of a jelly.
Candy some cranberries, they are nice
to serve with grapefruit as a first
course. Add tablespoon of this cram
berry syrup to each grapefruit and
garnish the top with candied cram
berries.
Instead of the usual mashed and
creamed vegetables add baked stuffed
vegetable. Boiled beets may be formed
into cups which hold picked prunes
to be served with the turkey. Stuffed
onions are also nice.
Sweet Potatoes With Bananas

The House Within
Decorations For The Christmas Tia

Decorations For The Christmas Table
A holly -decked wooden hoop is sus-
pended from the chandelier with vines
of holly. From its rim falls on invisible
threads and in the center hangs a star
Snapped favor receptacle. This is made
by cutting a large star from white
pasteboard and covering with crushed
white tissue paper. 1t is trimmed with
sprigs of holly and scarlet ribbon. The
table edge is trimmed with masses of
sprays of holly. One may use mistle-
toe if desired.
In order to make "snow ball table,
hang from the chandelier a huge snow
ball made from big ball of absorbent
cotton. 1t is trimmed with holly and
mistletoe.
Place your holly or Christmas greens
in a tall crock and from the tops have

Cakes The Children Will Like

Bake a simple cake mixture in round
muffin tins. Ice some with white icing
and some with chocolate, marking eyes,
nose and mouth with contrasting col
ors. Arrange frills of crepe paper, yell
low, red and any color preferred. The
object is to have the cakes look like
faces smiling from little bonnets.
Christmas vacation week means par
ties for college girls and boys-dances
and luncheons and all sorts of gay So
cial affairs, of which the refreshments
are by no means the least important
part.
A luncheon featuring the grapefruit
basket is most attractive.
Serve a fruit cocktail in the grape
fruit baskets-say a combination of
rapefruit-orange and pineapple, cut
in small pieces free from membrane,
sweetened with sugar syrup and
chilled.
As a first dinner course, the baskets
may hold grape fruit sections and fresh
| ly opened oysters.
| 1t may hold a salad course and for
the dessert may hold a gelatine mixture.
The handles of the gratefruit baskets
may be decorated with red or green rib
bon or sprigs of holly.
