OF course, his mind worked with
its usual precision. He played the
right card nine times out of 10. But
Martin was an old hand at bridge
He knew the game inside and out
He could play his hand and still
watch the lovely. slender figure in
the white dress. Tonight he was Civ.
ing her up forever
Alicia had hoped that Il would he
necessary for Martin to see her home
In fact, she had counted on It. So
that when the group broke up shortly
after l and the man who had been
her partner at dinner quite obviously
took charge of her she was furious.
Perhaps it was only her imagina.
tion, but Alicia had a feeling about
tonight. The evening hadn't gone
quite as she had expected.
When she had donned the black
dinner frock with its touches OF gold
and had viewed her radiant self in
the mirror before Leaving, her hotel she
had been absolutely satisfied, The
evening had stretched before her then
and she had visualized it as being
crammed with one triumph after an.
other.
Now she had a feeling OF uncer-
tainty about 1t. Not but what she had
received plenty of attention; Alicia
always received attention and ex.
pected it. But there had been some
thing subtle in the atmosphere. She
couldn't account for it. And Nan,
floating around looking like an angel
off Christmas tree, had vaguely an
noyed her.
OF course. the girl was pretty, and
in that dress she looked unusual. But
for all that, she was just a cheap little
model. Any woman fairly endowed
with looks could look we'll in an ex.
pensive frock.
The fact that Martin was not to
take her home was the last straw
She had expected that. She could
not understand why he did not insist
upon 1t. Didn't those few moments
alone with her mean anything to him?
Yet here he was saying good bye
to his guests and leaving her TO the
man who had been her dinner partner
And Nan lowering in the background
How bewilderingly lovely she was, II
wasn't a lOveliness OF flesh and blood
exactly-it was more of spirit than
anything else.
What faint touch of color she had
applied to her cheeks had faded, leav-
ing her ivory pale. Her eyes were
very big and dark under that sweep
of hair.
Alicia's last though as she left the
apartment was a jealous one. Yet
how could she be jealous when she
knew that Martin was miserable?

ground, with a single French knot or
a cross-stitch of a third contrasting
color. These disks when put together
form long frond-like sprays of flowers
of all sorts of colors. The gay sprays
are in the predominance, and are in.
terspersed with wisps of grass-like
spears of green.
Again, the flowers have actual cut
petal contours, though the entire
blossom may he scarcely larger than
a forget-me-not. These are grouped
as if growing in clusters. They are
admirably shown in the girl at the
left in the picture.
Another Form.
Still another form OF the felt en-
broidery is shown on jacket and hat
on the girl at the right. This is done
more in the style of the felt applique,
though even in this the flowers are
not held down except through the
center. The upper circle Is a second
disk of color. In the frond embroid.
cry the under disk Is sometimes not
more than three eighth inch in diam
eter. with the top one not more than
one-eighth inch in diameter. Foliage
leaves have center veins of as many
as three small outline stitches to hold
them in place. F'ronds take more
stitches because of their attenuated
length.
Christmas Gift Hint.
1t is well to remember this felt
cluster embroidery when you plan
Christmas gifts. 1t can be used to
advantage on so many accessories. A
cluster boutonniere can be given as a
gift by itself If you put the flower
cites very close together and use a
circle of buckram bound with green
felt or ribbon for the foundation.
Stems can fall loose from beneath the
spray. The flatness and fiexibility
of such a cluster boutonniere make
such gift excellent to send to a
friend at distance. Box the gift at.
tractively. If sent by mail, put it be.
tween two neatly-cut piece of stiff
white cardboard before wrapping in
tissue paper and tying with red rib
bon.

Your Baby and Mine
by MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
By FANNY Y. CORY.

The surest indication that the new
baby is well and healthy is long pc
riod of uninterrupted sleep after each
feeding. The baby who eats and
sleeps and sleeps and eats has very
little wrong with him, so that our aim
is to make this chronic condition.
A baby cannot sleep too much.
When baby is wakeful and frets,
"they"-the ever-present they who
offer advice about every question
which perturbs the young mother
are certain to say that the baby
should stay awake some of the time.
Acting on this advice, some mothers
have gone to the length of keeping
the baby awake part of the day, per-
haps because he didn't always sleep
through the night Usually she finds
this works just the other way, and
instead of woOing more sleep for the
baby at night she finds he sleeps still
less.
The we'll baby sleeps after each
feeding. and his only wakeful periods
are those before. his bath and an hour
or two before his bedtime at night.
The baby who shrieks regularly fol
lowing his 6 o'clock feeding is likely
dissatisfied at this feeding, even
though all the others may be salts
factory.
Ask yourself these questions il the
baby Is sleeping poorly:
Is he gaining from five to six ounces
a week?
Has he a clear breathing apparatus,
one that is not clogged with over
grown adenoids?
Is he sleeping alone -feven IL it in
only in a haskell? And Is he warm?
Babies need more heat than adults.
Is there plenty of fresh air circula
ton in the room?
Is he being fed regularly, whether
every three or every four hours, or is
he being fed every time he cries?
This last method is enough to wreck
any babys sleep.
Is he being played with or rocked
at bedtime?
Our modern baby sleeps twice as
well as our mothers babies, and this
Is due to our modern habit of putting
a baby to bed after each feeding and
expecting him to sleep. We know
that the one thing a small baby does
not need . is entertainment. All he
should have to develop perfectly Is a
chance to eat and sleep regularly.

SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.


That's the point hosts of my readers
have reached-the very end OF every
thing.
They arrived at this desolate spot
along the roads of Heartbreak and
Disappointment. And, having reached
the very limits of their endurance,
they sit down at the crossways and
wall aloud.
Very bad policy. Now's the very
time when they should have their eyes
wide open for a new road-a road
leading away from the end of every
thing and beginning something all
over again.
It's when a girl finds herself at the
very bottom OF the black pit Of despair
that she can most confidently look
forward to an unexpected means of
exit from the unpleasant situation.
But there's hardly damsel alive
who is inclined to believe me. And
because they don't believe me they sit
and wall and keep their eyes tight
shuk. so that they can't possibly find
any opportunity for escape from their
dismal frame of mind.
You take a dame like Janet, who
had all the earmarks of a nice, intelli-
gent kid until Rodney, the boy won
der. threw her over for buxom girl
from Texas.
Then Janet proceeded to revert to
the primitive. She tore out handfuls
OF hair. she gnashed her teeth, she
behaved like any good cave lady, and
then she subsidized with heart-rending
shrek as her Rodney bore the trium-
phant Texas lady to the altar.
On the day of the wedding and re.
ception she knew she had arrived at
the end of everything. There was
nothing more for her to live for. She
had nothing to keep her alive.
She sat mute and cold through the
ceremony. She went to the reception
with her head held high, but her heart
breaking. She didn't let Rodney see
how she was suffering. In fact, she
was so busy conCealing her hurt from
him that she hadn't time for anything
else.
1t never occurred to her to pay
attention to the tall. dark boy who
had come up from Texas for the fes-
tivities. She just didn't see him. She
hadn't the faintest suspicion that he
liked her. Even when he made it
known. shyly, she could barely hear
him. All her thoughts were centered
on Rodney, and the tall. dark boy was
a shadowy figure who didn't matter.
lie StuCk AROUND lOT Il IndtleT ol
two years, that Texas boy did. and
all the time his worth and devotion
were lost on Janet. who dreamed of
Rodney, thought of him, cried about
him.
Then miracle happened. Rodney
landed in town. He came alone. He
and the wife had not hit it off. Rod.
ney was a divorced man. Janet
thrilled at the news.
Without even glancing inNthe direc-
ton of the Texas boy, she made
straight for her old sweetheart. He
fell for her all over again and married
for the second time.
Everybody had always known Rod
would be poor husband. Janet had
walked to the end of everything all
over again.
She had done it because she wasn't
looking for the beginning of some
thing better when she found herself
in similar straits two years before.

When once a fashion finds favor
with people it is sure to develop in
/ .teresting ways. This is true of felt
decoration. 1t has taken a new turn
in Europe which is sure to prove ap-
lloaling here in America. You will
remember that when the fashion was
appearing / told about ii in this de-
partment, and now that the word has
come to be from Italy of the work
that is being done there | hasten to
let you know of the fnl eiGn vogue
that is sure to come here soon. 1t is.
OF course, similar in type but diverse
II development. Instead of separate
motifs standing out in relief against
backgrounds, making the decoration
an applique. the work is more on the
order Of felt embroidery. Therefore,
this name is given it.
Flowers are tiny and are caught on
to the background through the center
only, leaving the petals absolutely
free. SO short are these that they do
not droop and flop, but stand perkily
in place. They have sufficient indie
pendence and separateness to be motif
embroidery. The work is wrought in
clusters or sprays, and in this the in
dividual character of the decoration is
indicated. and it's variation from the
type of felt ornamentation hitherto
the style.
Approved Styles.
Two very distinctive styles of felt
cluster embroidery are illustrated in
this sketch, made in Florence en-
pressly for this paper. 1t is a smart
vogue in Italy to have the flannel
sweater jackets, preferably without
sleeves, trimmed with this particular
kind Of felt embroidery The jackets
are bound with cream, white or black
braid and the flannel is gay in tones,
such as red or bright green.
Many Uses.
Those Of you who are familiar with
the old-fashioned button rugs will i'm.
mediately classify some of the felt
work as felt button embroidery. One
small disk of color is topped with an
even timer disk of another hue, the
two held to the hat, coat, frock, bag

This new type of deep-seated. low.
lying lounge chair has met with al
most universal approval. Such chairs
are made in many guises. but the one
shown here, of fine Swiss reed, is
great fayorite.
These chairs were seen this Summer
on the terraces and pOrches of the
smartest houses, and with the coming
of Autumn they promise to find nich-
es for themselves indoors. They offer
such utter comfort to the lOng-legged
person that nothing else can take their
place, go we may expect to find them
in sun rooms and in informal living
rooms of all sorts.
One can imagine how appropriate
these chairs would be for the big
studio living room. They can be
painted as gayly or demurely as one
wishes, and will add a touch of that
careless ease that such rooms affect.

Beware of using

THE modern way to beauty starts

That means careful washing with
soap and water regularly.
But be sure you use only true

Before Palmolive Soap was per-

SEES RACIAL DECLINE
Noted Biologist Fears Human Beings Will Pass Out of Existence Through Inter Marriage of Races.

Budapest, Hungary. Sept q P'- Prof. Ludwig Mehely, widely known researcher in racial biology, mado somewhat Of a sensation in scientific circles today by declaring that the human race was in danger of eX- tinction by inter-raciai marriages, which he said were increasing throughout the world.
 Prof. Mehely who has just been elected dean of the philosophical faculty Of the University Of Buda- pest, made his remarks in the course of his inaugural address before an audience largely made up Of dis tinguished scientists.
 He startled the audience by de- claring that parents belonging to heterogeneous races produce de- generate progeny. adding the best marriages are those where the con- tracting parties show blood group affinity"
 The professor, indicating that he had in mind soviet Russia, urged the governments of all countries to con trol the birth rate of the proletarian class, permitting unlimited reproduc- tion only to mental workers and farmers.
 The theories propounded by Prof. Mchely produced q deep impression since Hungary is a land where the racial question is most perplexing.
