Law you heard Of the new trico-
Il tine costume flowers, made Of
crepe paper? If not, you are surely
missing something worth while. Like
everyone who sees them, at first
glance you will be wanting bouton-
Mere to wear on your coat, or Shout
der bouquet. They make charming
wrist bouquets, too, which, as you
know, are quite the vogue this season.
To buy as elaborate costume corsage
as the one photographed at the top Of
this group would be quite an expensive
proposition-but why buy, when these
lovely dress accessories can be made

for granted that 1t is to be Of velvet
Perhaps some of us are planning to
indulge in "just one more new frock"
to tide over midwinter to spring. To
be sure 1t may correctly be Of satin,
crepe or fine wooden, but why not
join the majority and choose velvet?
There's nothing quite so pretty and
practical, also appropriate for wintry
days as a simply fashioned velvet
frock, either in black or of color, fin
ished at neck and sleeves with real
crochet or filet collar and cuffs.
Paris adds zest to the velvet mode
by continuing to send over some raw
fishing frocks. There is the one In this
picture, for instance. It is a creation
from Jenny, designed for smart after
noon wear. Its ermine .bordered front
apron panel at once attracts, in that it
bears the cachet Of the unusual. A
lovely detail is the turQuoise-blue tat

more, being an ordinary human
being, he gets sick and tired of
hearing the same thing so often
and sullenly refuses to pay at

Mothers who have the good
sense to invent little bits of en-.

to provide an outlet for the
child's energy and emotions are
relieved of the grind that. trouble
some children impose. For busy
children are not so apt to be
troublesome and nothing is so

Joyous occupation induces har.

of the necessity of so much scold-

to believe that young men exist
who have respect for women,

OF course these letters are en-
tirely mistaken. 1t is unfortunate
that some girls find it so hard to
meet and attract men who are
worth while. But that such men
exist-many thousands of them
is fortunately true. They are the
backbone of our nation and of
every nation, unselfish heads of
the families of today and the fu-
ture.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
There are plenty of good men

For seven months l went with
q young man whom l shall call
Jim. He was all girl could de-

and would not cultivate girls who
did. He saved his money every
week. He spoke highly Of his
mother and father and respected
their opinions. Nine times out of
10 he would take their advice.
He would not pet. Instead, he
told me that petting wasn't good
for any one and was sure to lead
to wrong things. Jim was very
mannerly and considerate of every
thing.

young people they are, too

''You have treated me outrage

say, land I will have nothing
more to do with you. I will
keep as far out Of your way as
I possibly can. and hope only
that you, with your problems and
responsibilities and your trick of
promising happiness and giving
sorrow in its place will let me
alone"
I know a young man who
couldn't make things go as he
thought they should a few years
back. He threw up everything
and retired to the country. where
he spends his time with books
and tramping through lanes and
over the hills.
And / know a young woman
who endured sorrow and

down. She's been sitting ever
since, having adopted that pose
of mysterious aloofness that
keeps her out Of the struggle.
But neither of these have been
successful in their wish to evade
problems. Those come in to them
in their retreats, small problems
which, nevertheless, loom large
because of narrowed horizons.
Neither of the two is happy;
neither has found the tranquility

CHILDREN

Click children who need to drink
~ hot milk or hot broth can
often be induced to take this
needed nourishment when it is
served in a small individual tea
pot, suggests Miss Frances Fern
Hoag of the Philadelphia Unit Of
the National Dairy Council. In
drinking from the spout of tea
pot there is less danger of splitting
the liquid than when it takes a
perilous journey in spoon.
An added advantage of teapot
service is that the little invalid
does not even need to sit up in
bed to eat, but can take his
teapot drink" with the head
propped up by an extra pillow.
Cold milk. chocolate or orangeade,
as well as broths and hot milk,
may be served in this way.
