dered that such strong friendship
could thrive between two such con-
trasting characters as these. Eddey
was a dancer by profession, Ross was
q singer. Ross had not been In the
house more than an hour when he sat
down at the piano and began to play
very softly. He continued for a lit
tie while when some one suggested
that he sing. Thus putting himself
and the family at ease with his soci-
able manner, by the time the dinner
was served the family no longer felt
stilted or restricted by the presence
of these strangers in their midst. Ed
dey and Ross were most versatile in
their praise of the dinner Their ac-
tons showed that they were thorough
ly enjoying the home cooking. They
were quick to make it known verbally.
They ate until they were ashamed to
admit their capacity for such excel
lent food.
After dinner Ross was urged to sing
again. He persuaded or rather insist
ed that Eddey assist him with his
tenor voice. They made great pair.
They kept the party going. Their en-
tertainment was decidedly successful.
Their happy countenances could not
help but contagiously radiate to the
ones surrounding them.
Mary met her mother going into the
Kitchen to prepare supper. Mother,
aren't they grand? What would we
have done without Eddey and Rossi
They have simply made the day.

two outsiders at our Christ

see how, on the spur Of the moment,
you told Ruth to invite them-two

"They were given to understand
that it was family dinner when they
were invited. They are friends Of one
of the members of our family, Mary,
and out Of courtesy to that person I
think it is the least we can do to en-
terrain them" With that remark the
subject was dropped, and both Mrs.
Mathews and her daughter went on
about their work In preparation for
the coming event.
The great day dawned upon house

NTOW Walter was a very stingy lit

anything If he had some pennies in his
pockets and the other boys We're go

candy or marbles Walter would go
along with them but he would try to
pretend he hadn't any money so he
wouldn't have TO spend his. OF
course, if he couldn't succeed in this
he'd spend very little. Walter was
just like his father always had been.
So it was not altogether his fault.
He had been taught that the more
one held onto money the more one

usually have metal cloth or brocade
tops with velvet skirts.
A development in present styling is
plated chiffon velvet. Skirts are often
treated in rather small side plaits OF
course this evidences the fine supple
ness of modern velvet.
A last moment item in fashions re-
port, is the use of white fur with black
velvet. The revival of the white fox
scarf is an interesting outcome of this
new movement.
Relating of footwear to color
and fabric of the costume is the ex-
pressed sentiment of the mode. To
be sure, it is costing milady pretty
penny to live up to this new within

of fashion. But what If small fortunes
be waited away on, beauty's feet; to
attain sartorial perfection one must
pay the price.
From Paris comes re-affirmation of
the vogue for wearing matching leath-
ers, preferably belts, bags and shoes.
Colored suede, pigskin and baby calf
are given particular mention, also rep
tile feathers worked up in combina-
ton with solid colors. The compose
theme is gaining a momentum which
forecasts for spring vogue for fanci-
full footwear and accessories intrigu-
ingly interworked with various leath-
ers.

had and he had been taught, too, that
the less he spent the less would be
expected of him.
And he had found that this was very
true. But, of course, he knew nothing
at all of the joy of giving and the joy
of sharing and some of those particu-
larry nice joys.
There had been a time when his
father had said to him when they were
taking up a contribution in church for
a very worthy cause:

But if you can keep from giving
without it being particularly noticed,
then you will be that much richer.

she a little less square, she would
keep those sentiments to herself UNI
til after you were married, when you
would discover them for yourself IN
due time. Certainly, the solution
lies in a definite pre-nuptial agree
ment of some sort. And the fact
that she has common sense to real
ize this is a point in her favor. She
is willing to go ahead with her own
work. Well, l think that is fair
enough.
Personally, 1 believe that each in
dividual woman should be free to
develop in her own way, to the limit
of her desires and capabilities.
Whether those desires may be real
lied in marriage or in a career, or in
both, she can only be happy in do
ing the work she finds most inter
esting.
1t may be that after she has tried
combining marriage and a career
she will realize that making a home
is the finest, most interesting work
in the world-that it is the most i'm
port work she can do. She may come
to find Joy and happiness in what
she once considered drudgery. Again
she may not.
But that is the chance you take.
Marriage is the one thing in this
age that has escaped commercialism.
1t is not a business-it is, at its best,
d gamble for happiness, and whether
or not it is worth the risk is for you
to beside. If you feel that while you
may not be happy with her, you GER
tainly can never be happy without
her, then you'd better take the
chance.
