Clues to Character
Character Molds the Hands.
By J. o. ABERNETHY.

Do not imagine that the hands mold
the character; it's the other way
around. Character molds the hands.
ANY one knows that a flabby hand Is
not found on an energetic, hard-work-
ing person, nor a firm-gripping hand
extended by an indolent, lazy person
When you meet a person. pay more
than passing attention to his hands
shape, form and size-if you want to
get a reliable clue to the character of
him who wears 1t.
The next time you shake hands with
a stranger see If his hands are long
and pointed. If 50, then you may
know that he loves poetry and litera-
ture, has strong religious beliefs and
is gifted with a fine imagination. He
naturally is discreet and lacks organ
izing ability. If the fingers are ex-
cessively pointed, it indicates a tend
ency to exaggerate.
When the first joint of the thumb is
very full, it is an evidence of extreme
determination and stubborn insistence
upon the course desired. When the
thumb is extremely supple and bends
backward easily. it indicates an easy
going, extravaGant. but generally a
very generous nature.

happiness was in the very air. OF

Yank the Nuthatch and Sammy Jay
had found an extra supply of good
things to eat put out for them by
Farmer Browns boy. And they were
not the only ones. Goodness, no,
The first thing he had done after
breakfast was to go down to the dear
Old Briar-patch and leave some
goodies for Peter and little Mrs
Rabbit. Then he had gone straight
to the Green Forest and left some
wheat, buckwheat and sunflower seeds
for Mr.. and Mrs. Grouse. Bob White
and family were not forgotten, nor
was Reddy Fox. Farmer Browns
boy left a splendid breakfast right
near Reddy's home. Even Blacky the
Crow found some tidbits where he
would be sure to find them. That
was Farmer Browns boys way of
wishing all the little people u merry
Christmas.
Now merriment and happiness are
two things which are very catching.
With so many made merry and happy
it is no wonder that this Christmas
feeling soon spread all through the

Black Braid With Dark Blue Serge
BY MARY MARSHALL.

not have occurred to dressmakers n
few years ago, because the contour of
clothes has changed so much. The
French dreSSmaker called Anna" has
made charming braid-trimmed navy
blue frock that Is much talked about.
There Is a short skirt showing pleated
fullness at the front only. Then there
is jumper bodice that shows the en-
tire surface covered with horizontal
rows of black soutache. From the
shoulders at the back hangs a cape
like fringe of soutache braid of graded
length. extending almost as long as
the skirt at the back.
The sketch shows a red and blue
frock trimmed not with the conven-
tional black silk. but with red and
gold metallic braid that suggests the
braid used by the upholsterers. 1t is
applied in an interesting manner, not
following the lines followed by the
frock itself, but rambling about in an
entirely original manner.
