Shawls Are Now Gaining Ground
BY MARY MARSHALL.

has a maddening way Of catching on
beaded embroidery. metallic lace or
bugles, but this must be put UP with
when such trimmings and shaWls are
in the limelight at the same time.
A number of women have taken
to collecting fine shawls, but bear in
mind that 1t requires a large bank ac-
count to support such a hobby.
Sometimes the purchase Of lovely
shawl solves your problem of suitable
attire for some special occasion better
than a new frock could do. For an
interesting shawl may be worn over
a frock so as to give 1t an entirely
new aspect, and can be used again
and again without fear Of going out
of style. The same shawl may be
given entirely different aspects by
wearing 1t with different frocks and
by draping 1t differently.
No woman's wardrobe IS quite com
plete nowadays without at least one
fine embroidered shawl. The white
cashmir shawl in the cut is worn on
a triangular fold with ends drawn
around to the front, where they are
either left to hang or wrapped one
over the other. This shawl Is en-
broidered in bright colored woods and
has a long white fringe. Beneath 1t
in the sketch is shown q shawl that is
very, very new. 1t is of bois- -de-rose
velvet printed in gold with gold
fringe. At the upper left-hand corner
is shown a green and brown wool
shawl of the sort that women carry
motoring or for sports.

gallery. The company is divided into
two equal groups. preferably all men
in one and all women in the other,
though this is possible only when
numbers of each are the same. One
group withdraws at a time to the
gallery while the other waits to be
summoned TO inspect the statuary.
The hostess provides one sheet for
each statue, and either a white mask
or a piece of white cloth with Sits
cut for eyes to look out from. These
cloth masks should have elastics at
tached as do regular masks, so that
they will be held in place securely.
Each player swathes himself or her
self completely, so that the eyes alone
are visible, and assumes some posture
typical of a statue. These line The

Ruddy sat up and scra atched his nose
thoughtfully. II never thought of that
before" said he.
What is it you never thought of?'
demanded Peter.
Il never thought of that being one
way of laying up food, said Ruddy.
I'D hate to lay up food for all Winter
that way. But then, of course, those
fellows sleep most of the Winter
Il suppose that means that you
don't Sleep" said Peter.
No more than l do In Summer,
replied Ruddy. II sleep when I'm
sleepy. that's ALL"
Which reminds me-" said Peter,
that you seem to be out in the day
time a great deal of the time"
Certainly" said Ruddy. "Why
not? l know there are some mem
bers of the Mouse family who seldom
come out until after dark. Daylight
or darkness makes no difference to
me. l come out when l feel like it.
I'm just as much at home in the light
of day as 1 am in the darkness of night.
In fact, l rather like daylight. At
this season of the year when one
must get ready for Winter it is very
handy to feel equally at home in day
light or darkness"
Where do you put your supplies for
Wlnter?' inquired Peter very bluntly.
Ruddy chuckled aloud. 1t was a
pleasant, squeaky little chuckle. My,

ask"' he exclaimed. "If you really
want to know, Peter, I'm going to tell
you. l put them where they will do
me the most good when need them. -
'Oh," said Peter and grinned. IF
I want to find them 1 suppose that is
where I must look for them
Exactly" replied Ruddy. Like my
house, my storehouse is my own Sc.
cret. Now I've stood here talking to
you too long already. I must store
some of these beechnuts, and there
are some seeds that I must gather
while / can get them"
But If you don't sleep all Winter
and are running about don't see why
1t is necessary for you to lay up any
stores of food" protested Peter. Il
don't do it."
That's all right" replied Ruddy
Next Winter after the first hard ice
storm, when you can't get around to
get anything to eat, just think of me,
Peter, comfortably eating whenever
am hungry, and not having to go out
in bad weather to get my food"

What I TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.

The unfavorable planetary aspects
that assert themselves this afternoon
continue in force during the early part
Of tomorrow, and the signs denote that
any excursion into fields of new en-
deavor will not meet with that success
which would probably be vouchsafed
if a more propitious occasion were
chosen for their initiation. In the
early part of the afternoon conditions
change, and while not actively auspi-
cious the influences will be benign and
tranquil. This will be very strongly
felt in the emotions, and there will be
sensed a strong stirring of the better
impulses. Such a condition always in
dicates reciprocity in loves interests,
and little fear of the outcome need be
entertained if the "old, old story" be
told and needed.
Children born tomorrow will enjoy,
according to the signs, remarkable
freedom from sickness during infancy.
They will, however, be subject to a
serious illness in their teens. This, If
proper care be given, will not initiate
against their attainment of physical
normalcy. Temperamentally they will
be rather wayward and captious.
There will, however, be such a prodi-
their makeup that these faults are
likely to be overlooked rather than
corrected. These children will be very
largely creatures of impulse, and it
behooves those responsible for their
training to see that they are not left
rudderless on the sea of life
If tomorrow is your birthday ami
versary, you are sympathetic and
kind, "A relia BILE friend and a faithful
lover. You have no very great ambi-
ton and are easy-going and content
so much so that your life is often con-
sidered by others a somewhat drab
existence. Your one great weakness is
lack of decision, or what Is more COLO
quially known as mot knowing your
own mind. You are Swayed too
easily by the persuasions and argu-
ments of others, and fail to exercise
your God-given right to express and
hold an opinion of your own. You are
pacifist, and will agree with any one
or anything rather than engage in a
conflict. If it were always safe to
judge persons by their friends, your
record would be a high one. 1t some
times is more expedient to Judge peo-
pie by the enemies they have made,
and in this respect no judgment of you
would be possible.
Well known persons born on that
late are Whitelaw Reid, journalist and
diplomat; John D. Long. Governor of
Massachusetts,; Eugene A. Smith. geol-
ogist; Kenyon Cox, artist; Theodore
Roosevelt, twenty-sixth President of
the United States, and Edward NJ

SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.
A Male Protest,

E. X. writes. in part: Il agree with
the recent article you wrote about
breaking off a love affair when it has
become tiresome wherein you tell
members of the fair sex how to end
things with their sheiks when the lat
ter have become boring. l agree that
the best and quickest way is to write
a short note. But look at 1t from our
angle. When we want to break things
on we encounter tears, Mysteries and
dire threats of self-destruction. Does
the girl have to go through all this
when she wants to give a fellow the
air9 No! He gets himself another
girl and it's all in the days work with
him. Why not give us men a little
dope on how to give a burntout flame
the gate, gracefully and without the
theatricals usually attending this per-
formance?-E. X.
In the first place, E. X, there is no
such thing as a clean break. One
party or another always provides the
tears and Mysteries.
There isn't any known recipe for
avoiding this sort of thing when it
comes time to break things off.
But don't for a moment believe that
the girls are the only ones who de-
light in great emotional scenes. Any
girl who has tried to ease out quietly
with brief friendly note can tell you
just how difficult it Is.
She sends her short apology, hoping
that the recipient will have the good
sense to take the hint and depart for
ever.
Five minutes after the turn down"
suitor gets his dismissal, he is on the
phone talking sternly to his faithless
sweetheart; "Oh look here, Jean, you
can't really mean that. You're just
nervous and tired and don't know
what you're saying. l know what it
is-you're sore because l flirted with
Peggy the other night. Well, honest
ly she doesn't mean a thing to me-"
etc, etc.
AS soon as his business hours per-
NIT he tears down to the poor girls
home to straighten things up. He
believes that a few comforting words
will put everything right.
He nearly wears her nerves out
talking-talking to her, to her family,
to her friendS-to every one who will
listen, and finally after five weeks of
arguing. he demands incredulously:
DO you mean to say you don't want
to see me any more?"
Oh no, you can't get away with the
statement that girls have no trouble
in ending everything.
1t is true that the fair sex does a
good deal of emoting when the erst-
while suitor shows a desire to fade
away. But the determined male is
just is much of a nuisance when he
finds himself minus sweetheart.
The best wav to end things, as I've
said before, Is by means of a short
note-and then after you've sent II
the only thing to do is to sit tight and
pray that the Tilted party will have
the good sense to know when she or
he is beaten.

Decorations for a Halloween enter
tainment are of definite kind. 1t is
in the selection and ARRANGEMENT of
the motifs that diversity is secured.
There should be at least one large
pumpkin jack-o lantern, and If there
are several rooms, one in each is ad-
vised. Lights made somewhat dim by
shades of pumpkin-colored crepe paper
alone or ornamented with black cats,
witches on broomsticks, jack O lantern
faces, etc, give an air of mystery to
an otherwise usual room. The eyes
of cats and witches can appear to
glow and glare if covered with circles
of FURNISHED gilt paper. Candle
light makes tiickering shadows. Com
bine these motifs and ideas with Au-
tumn leaves in large sprays and also
lightly glued to tape and festooned
TO appear to be falling and you will
have the right sort of atmosphere in
an original way.
Summoning the Witch.
This is a good game with which to
start, since the names of all guests are
disclosed. Cover a door with a length
Of black cambria with yellow circle
in the center. Provide guests with
witches brooms. Each one of the three
needed is made by cutting Pinch
lengths and sewing each to a broom
shaped piece of orange cambria to
form handles. These pieces are then
scanned together except at the top of
the handle. Beans or dried peas are
then poured through this opening
before it also is sewed up. Each per-
son takes d turn at throwing the
three brown bean-bags, trying to hit
the orange knocker and saying his or
her name. Considering the name to
be John Smith, here is the form:
John Smith summons the witch to
appear.
Since the name has to be given three
times, once each time bag is thrown,
the company learns each players
name, and this is important for the
following game: The keeper of the
door holds UP a wand whenever the
lnocker has been struck three times
and says, witch, come forth Then
the witch in costume opens the door,
pushes aside the black coverings,
shows her head and shoulders, and
instantly withdraws and closes the
door again. The game proceeds until
the knocker is hit three times again

are fresh in the minds of all it is a

When shawls came into fashion be-
fore-that Is in the early nineteenth
century-they stayed there for nearly
three quarters of a century. A pretty
long time for one fashion to remain
good, you will agree. SO II history
repeats itself. then we need have no
fear that the present vogue for
shawls will soon wane. The fact is
that we are just on the fringes Of
the fashion. Mayhap before many
years have passed shawls will be
worn for street wraps, as they were
80 years ago. But of course that's
