GOLD FOR
WINTER
BY Alice Langelier
International News Service staff
COrresDOndentn

Correspondent
PARIS
NHiAT the winter season will be
i decided gold one is being
affirmed every day in the new
gowns that are coming from the
smart dressmakers in Paris.
Many of the evening dresses
and wraps come entirely of gold
cloth or gold lace and gold en-
kroideries and pipings trim all
sorts of frocks from the sport
dress down through the whole
gamut of day wear. Lucinde is
showing an original model with a
Ileated skirt and overblouse of
red crepe de chine with the collar
of gold lame and strips of the
gold alternating with narrow
black pipings down the front of
the jacketblouse. The upper
sleeves which flare over the puffed
lower ones. the cuffs, pockets
and the belt also make use of the
gold lame edged with black.
Another model from this house
is an afternoon frock in bois, de
rose with a. narrow vest Of deeper
tone and collar and cuffs Of suede
with gold lame showing through.
The collar and cuffs are edged
with little puffed loops of gold
thread.
One of the most striking eve-
ming dresses of the season is
made of novelty gold cloth with
a deep diagonal flounce Of gold
lace encircling the figure and
worn with a cape of the same
gold cloth trimmed in lace and
fur.
Still another comes in green
mousseline de sole with a circular
nounce attached in points of seal
Iops across the back at the hip
line and draped front trimmed
with embroidery of tiny pieces of
gold leather, each outlined in red
crystal beads. The gold appears
also i'll narrow bands edging the
flounce.

XMAS TREES
A BUSINESS

NHRISTMAS-TREE crops, raised
~ on plats especially set aside
for the growing Of evergreens.
seems to be a coming bust
ness, say forestry officials OF
the United States Department OF
Agriculture. Although Federal
foresters do not feel that the use
OF Christmas trees Is either a
menace to the country's timber
supply or incompatible with for
est conservation, they point out
that the practice of growing small
evergreens especially for the
Christmas trade is far better than
cutting them in an indiscriminate
manner.
The 1924 spruce and fir trees
commonly sold for 81 to So and
more on the streets of the larger
Eastern cities. Retail prices have
increased several hundred per
cent in the last Is or 20 years
and high prices are likely to pre-
vail in the future.
Growing Christmas trees In
plantations near large consuming
centers is beginning to look like
an attractive business. This Is
particularly true for centers in
the Eastern and Middle Western
States, which are rather distant
from a natural source of supply.
Several such plantations are al
ready In existence from which
trees have been sold at prices
ranging from so cents to $3.50
each. In plantation adjacent
to a. main road it seems probable
that the trees could be sold right
on the ground to people passing
in automobiles.
Spruces and frs. where they
can be grown, are the logical
choice for planting, because they
are the most desired as Christmas
trees and command the highest
prices. Since the trees will be
grown only for from five to eight
years after they are set out, they
can be planted at the rate OF
5000 to the acre.
1t is doubtful, says the depart
ment, whether Christmas-tree plan
tations would at present yield
satisfactory financial returns in
the South and the far West be-
cause of the abundant supply OF
small evergreens found in the
forests of those localities.

DIFFERENCE
IN AGES
BY Beatrice Fairfax.

nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
~ 1 would greatly appreciate
il if YOU would advise me through
your columns as to whether you
consider eleven years too much
difference between the ages of
man and woman who wish to
wed. the woman being the elder.
Where a couple really love and
cannot live without each other,
but where the woman is the older
by eleven years. what should be
done?
Is a woman justified in telling
her exact age to her husband
if she is nearing forty, but looks
only twenty-nine or thirty.
A. r. M.
TIEN years is a very marked
difference in ages between
a. man and wife where the woman
is the elder. / would think seri-
ously, my dear before marrying
a man so much younger.
Such a marriage might prove
successful in exceptional cases.
But the chances are that a
woman at forty-five will look and
feel much older than a man at
thirty-five, even though the ten
years difference is not noticeable
at twenty-eight and th1rty-cight.
BY all means tell your friend
your age before you have become
engaged to him. He would in all
probability find it out later and
might reproach you for having
concealed the truth.
If after thinking things over
you both feel 1t will be worth
while to risk possible later dis
content for the sake Of a few
years of happiness, then it may
be worth your while to marry n
man who is not quite thirty while
YOU are nearing forty.
