Weekly Letter.
Dear Girls:

Dear Girls:
Lately a great many of you have
| asked me to resume my old weekly
letters, giving you the low-down on
what's doing In New York. So, TINS
being the New Year thought | might
revive the old custom of letting you
all know how the New York girls
have been enjoying themselves these
days.
II there's a popular girl in town
who's had a wink of sleep this last
week. she deserves a medal ] don't
know where she found time for 1t.
There have been about eight functions
per day for the young debutante, ana
all the gay gals in town have tried to
take In most of them.
Tuesday, for instance. was a typical
day for all of us. Teresa and Billee
and l tumbled home from Monday
nights dance which lasted till B,
dropped into bed with a loud thud, and
tore off a couple of minutes sleep. AL
we all had to get up to do shopping
Tess had to invest in new silver slip
pers. The Monday night dance had
shot her old pair to blaZes. Billee was
going to be finger-waved, and / want
ed new hat and gloves for a special
luncheon date. Weary but determined
we sailed forth to the shops and J
got a nice brown suede chapeau and
some smart gloves to match. AT II
| was back at Billee's house to keep
a date with two boys we'd met the
night before. They were parked out
In front and Billee and I had just
time to powder our noses before we
were whisked away for a spin through
the park and out a little way toward
Westminster.
OF course l was late for the special
luncheon date and my companion was
Tuning In the Biltmore when | met
him. Tess and her man joined us for
lunch and we had nice time until 2
when we decided to take in movie,
and saw the most dreadful show in
TIE world. At 4 we left the lunchine
gentlemen and rushed home to don
more elaborate costumes for tea.
was wearing leaf green velvet, with
a high collar, green and gold hat
and antique gold necklace.
We leased with some marvellous
dancers, and enjoyed enough of
rush to make our eyes sparkle and
our cheeks flush. We We're tired. but
of course we rushed on home to dress
for dinner-dinner at one of those
smart French restaurants where we
ali urea TO look as sophisticated DIS
possible. All of us had white fox
collars on our evening wraps-it's SO
common this year az to be almost
tiresome. We saw a gVod show, and
hoped that some one in the audience
would see us in the front box, and
admire our new r'ocks. After the
show-more dancing-this time at
new night club.
The place was crowded with stage,
and before long we had lost all sight
of our original escorts, as old ac
quaintances cut in and were cut out
Tess pretty near went through the
new silver slippers, too. Billee danced
the heel out Of an expensive pair of
chiffon hose, and I limped home so
foot-weary I could scarcely totter.
Yet We none of us would have
given up a second of that glorious day
for anything In the world
A happy New Year to all of you.
Love, MIMI.
Mimi will be glad to answer any inquiries
directed to this paper provided stamped
addressed envelope is inclosed.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Fear is an instinct. Even the tiny
| baby has it. When one needs nc
education in order to respond to
fright, it should be plain that 1t is
easier to encourage such a faculty
than one which has to be acquired.
And yet parents everywhere think
nothing of saying to their small chill
dren, Don't put your hand on the
hot stove or big giant will eat you
up or BE careful, you'd better be
good girl this afternoon or tonight
the spooks will get your And there
are adults who consider this humor
and think that children should under
stand that, Of course, they don't
mean it.
There is a very vivid remembrance
in my own mind of one time when a
relative, whose ideas of child training
were Of the weirdest, stayed with me
while my mother was away. BY the
time my mother returned I was a
rank coward. I shivered at every
strangers glance. The dark was
peopled by ferocities who were ready
to pounce upon me. For years never
entered a dark room without fear
that something was going to swoop
down upon me and heaven knows
what would happen. It's taken a lot
of talking to myself and much cour-
age to outgrow that childhood timidity.
l am still not the bravest person in
the world, in the face Of strange
places and unknown things, and every
bit of it can be attributed to that
elderly lady whose only method of
discipline was by way of terrorizing
her helpless victim.
So one can see that no matter how
enlightened the mother may be and
quite incapable of such inQuisition
methods, she may have relatives or
servants in the house who are unfor
tunately trained by such methods and
think them proper. Such insidious
propaganda can utterly destroy Il
child's courage. Ill him with unhappy
terrors and make him a coward for
life

WINTER
By ID. c. PEATTIE.
Arctic Birds.

The arrival Of the Arctic owls in
our midst early this Winter gives
promise CT other boreal migrants, and
every bird lover this Winter should
keep his eyes open for feathered
creatures which, once in a blue moon,
make their appearance around Wash
ington. We are all familiar with
juncoes and black-capped chickadees;
they are what we generally mean
when we speak Of winter birds. Z"
Not so distantly connected are the
Lapland longspur, the snowflake and
the horned lark. They appear in the
company of junco and chickadee and
might pass among them unnoticed by
the unobservant. If you see one of
these species, then it is ten to one
that all have come this year, as
records show that on the few occa-
sionS when they have been sighted
in this latitude the three species were
seen. together.
The snowflake is beautiful little
bird, about six inches long, snowy
white below. black and tawny down
his back. The longspur is bird of
similar size, but dull in color except
for white ''gills" and possesses a very
long hind toe. The horned lark, a
true lark. unlike our meadow lark,
which belongs to the bobolink family,
is seven inches long. has q white
throat, black collar and black band
across forehead, terminating in up
standing tufts Of hair like horns.
Like the European skylark, he sings
as he mounts into the sky, but we
shall not hear his song nor those Of
the longspur and snowflake, for all
reserve their romantic feelings for the
brief mating time of the Arctic Sum-
mer. II these species can be lured
near the house 1t will be with seeds
such as one feeds to the canary. But
it will take a sharp eye to see these
beautiful little creatures among the
hordes OF the common Winter birds.

Warts.
Dear Miss Leeds: Is there anything
to check the growth of warts that are
just starting? What causes them and
is it possible to get them from con-
tact with other people who have them?
G.. ". s.
Answer-On young people, warts
come and go without any apparent
cause. I do not know any cure for
warts except removal by cutting or
burning them out, but small ones
often disappear IL they are gently rub
bed each day with cold cream or oil.
Large warts may be bound with silk
thread at the base until they shrivel
and fall off. II you decide to have the
blemishes removed. let physician do
1t for you. No; warts are not con-
tagious. LOIS LEEDS.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Sunday. January Q.

Many good influences are active in
the planetary government of tomor-
row, according to astrology. Uranus
is in menacing sway.
1t is a time most suspicious for
paying debts and for collecting money.
This is read as favorable rule for
starting new plans and making radi-
cal changes in ones routine of life.
There is a most promising sign for
most lines of business, which seems
to presage great commercial gains in
1927.
Manufacturing is subject to the
most stimulating influences. Foreign
demands for products necessary be-
cause of extraordinary conditions
abroad are indicated.
1t is lucky day for those who are
journeying on the high seas.
Methods of lengthening the span of
life will be numerous in the new year,
which will be marked by many broad
humanitarian interests, it is foretold.
There Is rather a good forecast for
women and it Is probable that there
will be great reaction toward domes-
tic interests in the coming year.
Home-making and homecoming are
to increase greatly in interest and
there is to be united effort to reduce
crime and moral delinquencies.
The lunation of this date presages
much speculation and business &C
tivity, which will bring losses as well
as tremendous gains.
Persons whose birth date 1t is
should not seek change or travel.
Fortune should find them at the old
stand
Children born on that day probably
will have creative imaginations and
varied talents. but these subjects of
Capricorn are often mercurial and
difficult to understand.

it may be. 1t will not only add to the
decorative elements. but 1t Will be
f&Ind extremely convenient at times.
ItVan be used as seat when one of
the family is waiting for a moment or
| two, or for a resting place for some
one who cannot be asked into the liv-
ing room while special company is be-
ing entertained there. Also 1t sup.
plies an extra place for coats in emer-
gencies. The chair should stand with
its back stiffly against the wall. for
the appointments in such a passage
way should be impersonal, reserved
and self-sufficient.
Colonial Halls.
In colonial houses the big hall with
its wide sweep from the front door to
the back and its traditional air
of spacious breadth and freedom is
versatile in it's capacity for comfort
and entertainment. In Summer 1t is
thrown open to make a cool, airy pas
sageway that becomes family living
room. with magazine tables, ported
plants and couches and chairs ar
ranged in conversation centers." The
post of honor in this palatial hall is
held by the big fireplace with its
four-foot logs, and it naturally be-
comes the chosen rendezvous for the
family. Such fireplace calls for spe-
cial furnishings in it's inlrnedi-
ate territory-flre screens. large fold
ing screens, floor pillows, table or
two, and a stubby grass hearth broom
with a swagger ribbon around its
neck.
Hall Treatment.
These halls are the spacious recep.
ton halls. There are many less pre-
tentious ones that go by the same
name and which should be given
somewhat similar treatment. 1t will
be seen that every style Of hall re-
quires its special decorative scheme.
Be sure. therefore, to study the hall
you have to treat, that you may make
1t as nearly correct as possible.

If you are planning to build a home
in the Spring this front elevation and
floor plan may give you some helpful
suggestions. This small house has
charm and distinction and because it
is built long and low impresses one
as being much larger than it really is.
1t is compact. conveniently and
economically arranged and has an
artistic appearance.
The three main divisions of the
ground floor tthe living and dining
rooms, the kitchen and the bedroom
and BATH are all distinctly divided
and all easily accessible to one another
and the upstairs through the main en-
trance hall. Not only this, but the
rooms are of good proportions and well
balanced
The roof of this house is of dark
green shingles. The walls are cream
colcred stucco, the steel window sash
painted black and the wooden shutters
are painted a delicate leaf green.

AND THEIR CHILDREN.

One mother says: "It is easy to
wash baby's rubber boomers. but the
trouble comes when drying them. II
the two sides come together any
where they will stick, weakening the
rubber when one pulls them apart.
After wiping the boomers as dry as
possible, insert a Turkish towel, pull
ing a corner through each leg. Pin
these towel corners to the line. The
towel will absorb the excess moisture
and there will be no stuck folds

May all of JOY and health and cheer
Be crowded in this glad New Year.
-peter Rabbit

cit was New Year day. Peter Rab-
bit didn't know it. Paddy the Beaver
didn't know it. None of the little
people Of the Green Forest and the
Green Meadows and the Old Orchard
and the Laughing Brook and the Sp1il.
ing Pool and the Old Pasture knew it.
But If you could have talked to Peter
that morning he would have told you
that he was feeling extra fine. He
was in high spirits, If you know what
that means. People do get in high
spirits, even in these days When he
opened his eyes after nap early that
morning he just tingled all over with
a feeling that it was good to be alive.
So great was that feeling that Peter
Just couldn't sit still He scampered
over to the roof of the home of Paddy
the Beaver, and he climbed up on that
roof. There he sat, right on Paddy's
roof in plain sight OF whoever should
come that way. Yet somehow he
didn't have the least bit Of fear. He
just had a, feeling that nothing bad
could happen on this day.
Now. cur1ously enough, down right
under Peter the very same feeling had
taken possession of Paddy the Beaver.
So far as conditions were concerned,
this day was like every other day since
Paddy, too, had a feeling that 1t was
q. different day. Perhaps that was why
he spent an extra long time at his
food pile. picking out an extra nice
piece of wood, which he carried back
and into his house TO eat the bark
from He shared it with Mrs. Paddy.
My. how good and tasty that bark
was,

had finished the bark, Il don't know
why. but this seems to me like a very
special day. l feel full of good cheer
and happiness, and as if would like

Paddy. There is no particular rea-
son for it, but l feel that way. We
may not be able to carry happiness
out into the Great World, but we can
wish it. WHAT'S that?"
That" was a queer humping over
their heads. Paddy grinned. Peter
Rabbit is up there" said he. I'VE
haven't seen Peter since early in the
Fall. but. as sure as that bark was
good, Peter is up on top Of our roof
here, and he is humping to let us
know he's there. Move over, my
dear, and I'll thump back with my
tail"
So Mrs. Paddy moved over and
Paddy brought that great, fiat tail Of

Maroon Forward Believed Have Made New Record of Tables
Counted in Single Contest in High School
Team Plays Fine Game

A new scoring record is believed
to have been established for the
number of points recorded in a
basket ball game played in the
high school gym here Friday after
noon, when Miss Thelma Lake,
playing a forward for the girls
high school basket ball team, ac-
counted for AZ points,
They were scored when the girls
team defeated Egg Harbor high
school by a 55-11 score. At half
time the score was 1915. Miss Lake
shot tweny-one field goals and five
foul goals.Y Her running mate, Miss
Parrish. also played a fine game.
The team. which is coached by
Mrs. Mildred Holzer, played a clev'
er passing game which had the
visitors Guessing. At the end OF
the first quarter the score was 81
fayoring the Maroon. At the end
OF the third quarter it was 1861.
The local girls playing guards
held the Egg Harbor forwards in
check, passing the ball well to cen
ter and side center, where it was
