BY MIMI.
One Goal.

We all want to be popular. We all
| want to have our average share of
| good times and rushes and proposals
! and we all yearn for the average
amount of attraction to insure our
! success. But why is it we all take
it for granted that all the men in the
| world are crazy about the same type
| of girl
There's hardly one in the hundred
readers who write to me who isn't
| anxious to be pretty in the conven-
| tional sort of way-straight nose,
| rosebud mouth. big eyes. curly hair,
that sort of thing. And yet it stands
| to reason there must be coolies of men
in the country who aren't so keen
about that type at all.
OF course, the usual sort of man is
| attracted by usually pretty face.
But there are hundreds of unusual
men with different tastes and ideas
who are bored to death with the con-
ventiOnal type of good looks.
Only last night a smooth young
man about town, who has Travelled
around the world twice and knows a
thing or two. remarked that he
thought Angela was the most attrac-
tive girl in New York
Angela is what most of you strive
to avoid in the way Of looks. She's
almost ugly-but her ugliness has
been so carefully decorated and
touched up that she's fascinating.
Big mouth, ugly nose, tiny little
eyes and a reCeding chin would send
most of you into an abyss of despair,
Angela is rather pleased with all these
drawbacks.
In spite of them she gathers men
around her. because she has self-con-
ei0onCG. Because she realizes that
dozens of men prefer her strange ug-
illness to the chocolate box-cover type
of prettiness we all seem to be striv.
ing after.
In the same way we all have in our
minds a picture Of the kind of girl
we would like to be--and she's usually
a witty, breezy young thing, who al
ways says just the pnost apt and
amusing things possible.
That, of course, makes a dent with
most young men. But there are
dozens of men who are afraid of wit
in a girl.
They're much happier and more
contented with the type Of damsel
who let's them do the sparkling, and
who is quietly appreciative of their
own wit.
It is wise to make oneself as like
ones ideal as possible. But it is I'M
wise to feel that only that ideal is
attractive to men.
Lots of the most interesting men
in the world have strange tastes in
beauty and brains. They may prefer
what seems to us simply impossible.
But If we are anxious to interest these
interesting gents we must cut out the
strenuous effort to make ourselves
look like girls on magazine covers.
We mustn't get the idea that by
molding ourselves to conform to our
own ideal we're going to attract all
the men in the world. Nor must we
imagine that because we're conven.
tionally pretty and we'll dressed and
witty we can get anybody we want.
We must study the man of our
choice--learn his tastes-before we
can confidently expect to attract him.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Thursday, December %.

Mercury, the sun and Mars are in
benefic aspect, according to astrology.
This Is q day of rarely fortunate
planetary influences.
When the stars smile on the earth
it is a time for pushing all ones best
interests, financial and social
1t is pre-eminently a day on which
to send messages and greetings to
friends. There should be a decided
stimulation of mind and heart while
this configuration prevails.
Under this rule it Is held that there
is a special benefit conveyed in the
presentation of gifts.
1t Is supposed to be peculiarly
lucky to offer gifts of money under
this direction of the stars. Both he
who gives and he who receives Is
blessed.
There is sign of good luck for
association with persons of power and
high station while this aspect pre-
walls.
All those who occupy positions in
the sun are supposed to have added
benefits tomorrow.
There is a sign of fair fortune for
engineers, surgeons and all who are
concerned with constructive work,
whether it be bridges or health.
A stabiliZing of forces Is to mark
1927. it is prophesied, and much that
is abnormal in what we call civiliza-
ton will be eliminated.
Thrift is to be widely practiced in
the new year, it Is foretold, and
women will lead in campaigns to pre-
vent waste.
Persons whose birth date it is may
have a year of exactions and perplexi-
ties, but they will be easily overcome.
Good fortune is indicated. Big ambi-
tons are to be realized.
Children born on that day probably
will be generous, affectionate and
fond of all the good things in the
material world.

be omitted If a white salve Is den
sired. Melt the wakes and oil togeth-
err in a double boiler. remove from
the fire and beat in the perfume and
coloring matter when the mixture has
cooled somewhat.
The third way in which the lips
may be made beautiful is by their
expression. A sour, gloomy or dis
contented expression spoils the ap-
pearance of the mouth, while a sunny
one enhances it's charm. Thoughts
that make the corners of the mouth
turn upward in a friendly smile are
beauty aids just as truly as the
recipe for a lip-salve.
There Is little that can be done
short of a surgical operation-toward
improving the shape of lips that are
naturally large and coarse in appear

of gnawing the lips make them thick

his cage is a handsome one he is a
real asset to the room from a decora-
tive point of view.
A bowl of growing bulbs is another
happy choice. 1t is such fun to watch
the buds develop and unfold. An ele-
ment of surprise may be introduced
by having each bulb in the bowl pro-
duce a flower of a different color.
Even a bowl of goldfish is a more
interesting gift than an inanimate OBJ
ject. There are many pretty and rare
varieties of goldfish to be found in the
pet shops, and the opportunity for
selecting little underwater novelties
is practically unlimited.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Worm Powders.

Mrs. M. p. writes: Through your
very interesting and helpful column
will you give me your opinion OF
worm powders? Should these pow
ders be given as a cure-all to chill
dren when they have a chill. or the
earache, etc. Are they harmful?'
Answer-There is nothing which is
greatly more to be deprecated than
the wholesale, senseless dosing of
children with medicines of whose con-
tents the parents are in perfect ig-
norance. If children have worms a
doctor should advise the proper treat
ment for them. Worm medicines are
powerful and dangerous drugs and
should never be given unless there Is
absolutely need for them and then only
in the doses advised by physician
who knows what he is giving. l can't
! imagine anything so futile for the
ailments you mentioned as giving
worm medicines.
One Year and One-half Old.
Mrs. A. Mt is impossible for any
child of IS months to develop properly
without milk in his diet and you can't
use all the milk he needs in cooking.

| it, He should have at least pint of
milk to drink, or made into soups.
| Would he take two cups of milk soup
daily, favored with vegetables, and
! with sieved vegetables in 1t? His
weight is very poor and of course his
| diet is at fault. lacking milk as it
does and vegetables. He should have
an egg daily, cod liver oil daily, veg
etables, cereals, fruits and milk. You
| must manage to give him these in
some form or another. / am sure If
you improved his diet thus he would

| is not a kissing game! A piece Of
mistletoe is suspended in the center
| of a room or between folding doors.
Players form ring and dance around
in a circle until the hostess rings a
bell which is supposed to be a Christ
mas bell pealing. When it stops, the
players stand perfectly still. One, who
previously has been blindfolded, is
hidden to walk until she thinks she
is under the mistletoe, and then to
stop. Each player who succeeds in
getting directly under the mistletoe is
given some candy kisses! Another
Christmas element is introduced If the
molasses kisses are put in a tiny
Christmas stocking made Of net, with
the seams run with red worsted This
is a favorite game for youngsters,
( who find the kisses delightfully."- sweet,
though 1t is fun-provoking for older
people also.
Partners for Dance.
Masquerades and dances were favor
lite Christmas festivities. Let us adapt
a Russian fancy for discovering part
ners. The girls, draped in scarfs or
with pieces of cloth over heads and
shoulders, seat themselves in circle
in one room, while the. men form in
line in another room and then march
in front of the girls until the hostess
signals for them to stop. Each man
then takes the hand of the girl be.
fore whom he stands and secures a
partner.
Santa Claus Chimney.
A chimney tall enough to stand on
the floor or small enough to be placed
on a table is made from cardboard
marked off into bricks. Each player
takes three packages of varying sizes
from Santa Claus pack. which is
pillowcase. 1t is filled with soft paper
done up like Christmas packages. The
player who helps Santa unload his
pack by successfully throwing the
three parcels down the chimney gets
a prize. Some good homemade candH
put into white paper bag to resem-
Bile Santa's pack is suggested. Have
gay red ribbon tied about the top of
the bag, closing it tightly, and fasten
Christmas tag to the ribbon.

actions performed. The game enjoyed
centuries ago at Christmas was the
nucleus for Follow the Leader. Played
in the ancient Christmas spirit it will
be found as appropriate for adults
today as then. The hostess can aid
the leader If she has a row of bells to
be rung Stimulating Christmas chimes;

Blow Out Candle.
Candles and Christmas are insep-
arabic in our minds just as they were
ages ago. There is a quaint super
stition that lighted candles keep away
evil spirits. Distinguishing the flame
indicates that the fear is passed.
Candles used In this game should have
burned long enough to have done the
good work. Players are. in turn,
blindfolded, and turned three times
before being allowed seven steps to
be taken In what is supposed to be
the direction of the candle on q table.
Each player succeeding should be
given a candy candle made of red
fondant rolled in the palms Of the
hands to shape it. A silver of courage
