PLEASURES THAT LAST

Lamentations having as their theme the transtori-
ness of pleasure are seldom justified When pleasure
is based merely the satisfaction of desire it is
happy thing that it endure and that the very ef
fort to continue it produces safety and disgust The
source of true enjoyment is found in that which is
deeper and enduring than mere desire. 1t pro-
duces conscious interior harmony which abides long
after the Of the pleasures Of have passed

Berkeley in his Acphron writes Of the pleasures of
reason imagination, and sense; il is these COM

Of mans spiritual faculties and enable him to par

CROP INSURANCE
(Dn1l1th Herald \


Many students of farming conditions think that the
time has arrived when crop insurance at low cost
should be available for the farmer Planting crops
prepared ground is expensive operation and highly
speculative. The farmer CANDLES the of his land,
his overhead, his seed, his cultivation and his labor
against such risks drouth excessive moisture floods
frost hail. too much heat, not enough heat plant dis
eases and insect pests.
Business in cities get insurance against all
risks except the general risk Of being in business He
has insurance of all sorts his goods and automo-
bes insurance against defalcations injuries and acct
dents. To be sure the farmer may have the kind of
insurance the business has but he does not need
much Of it. His risks are Of different Sort
At present, speaking generally, the only agricultural
risk the farmer is protected against is hail. Only very
small percentage Of farmers carry this and the cost is
high.
1t is argued with that the farmer should have
insurance against the class of risks enumerated and
that his policy should guarantee him threefourth OF
normal crop Of any field insured All loss above that
would be carried by the farmer.
No way has been devised of insuring the farme,
against large SURPRISES low prices These things
are among the many chances he is subject to. The
last group Of evils Is public and the farmer,
demanding that the public itself with them
This is long step akin to guaranteeing that mer
chant shall always make profit in his business There
other panaceas which will be tested before thu
nation will undertake to fix and maintain prices.

Decorations.
A successful vounp hostes

A successful young hostess of my ac-
quaintance says she always sits down
to arrange her dinner table decorations.
Not that she is lazy-quite the other
way. She just wants to get the effect
as it will be when dinner is in progress.
If she is having an important guest,
she takes particular pains to get the
effect of the decorations from the
place of the guest of honor.
This Is really sensible way to go
about decorating the table.
You could hardly imagine the de-
signer Of stage scenery who would not
consider the effect Of the scenery
when viewed from the body of the
house, rather than from the stage. And
that is just what the woman who Sits
down to arrange the dinner table dec
orations is doing. She is getting the
point Of view of the people who matter.
So next time you are giving special
attention to the table decorations sit
down to it. The placing of the can
dies, the spacing of silver and glass, the
position of the bowl or vases of flowers
all these things ought to be influenced
by the view the seated diners will get
Of them, rather than the view one gets
standing beside the table.

BY MARY MARSHALL.

/" HERE'S Molly Ann who says,
Don't on any account give me
something to wear for Christ
Il mas. Don't give me stockings
or handkerchiefs or silk undieS
or even an ermine coat. I'll have to
buy clothes anyway. So give me some
thing that / wouldn't have otherwise
books or flowers or candy, or a saddle
horse, if you feel unusually liberal.
Things like that are SO much more
Christmas-y"
Mary Jane is different. There is
nothing I'd like better than things to
wear-Stockings and dainty handker-
chiefs, pretty silk underthings, collar
and cuff set or a new scarf" she says.
Things like that are really useful and
every time you wear them you have a
Mrt of merry Christmas thrill that
makes you think nice thoughts about
the ones who have given them to you"
My own impression is that the Mary
James far outnumber the Molly AIMS.
Most women like wearable Christmas
presents and the crowds one sees in
the stocking shops and departments
and round the handkerchief counters
bear proof to the fact that these acces-
sories are still the favorite gifts of many
women.
There is a renewed interest this
Winter on the part Of fashion in acces-
sories. And any Of these little fashion
accessories make good Christmas gifts.
A trip to any of the stores, big or little,
ought to help you choose something
acceptable both to your purse and the
taste of the person you are gifting.
A few yards of attractive material
Is a gift that is sure to please the
woman who seWs. A yard and half
of yard-wide crepe de chine is enough
for a step-in combination. Two and
half yards is right for nightgown or
paiama set. Flesh color or white is
always a good choice, but for. the girl
who likes less usual tints there are

shades of soft blue that are considered
very smart for lingerie at present.
Enough of one of the new figured

pleated skirt-a few yards of trans
parent velvet to be used with chiffon
or silk crepe for frock-lengths OF
some of the attractive new cotton ma
terials, such as printed dimity- striped
flannel for a bathrobe.
A trip to the dress goods department
of any we'll supplied store will give you
many suggestions for present OF this
sort and the advantage of this sort OF
gift is that there is far less likely to be
a crowd in the dress goods departments
than in the departments where the
more usual sort of gifts are sold. :.
Don't forget the possibilities OF
gloves. Even if you do not know the
glove taste of the one to whom they
are to be given, you cannot go wrong
in selecting slip-on gloves in good quail
ity suede kid in one of the usual light
tints. Fancy cuffed gloves should be
chosen only when you are sure that
the woman you are giving them to
likes them. Many women, you know,
do not. Black gloves have been worn
considerably by well dressed women IN
France and to some extent in this
country. So, for the girl who likes to
be in the vanguard of fashion, pair
or two of good black gloves viii prob
ably be acceptable.
If you are giving stockings for Christi
mas, my advice is to get one very good
pair of stockings rather than two OF
the less expensive sort. For the younger
woman who likes to keep abreast Of
the mode, choose light flesh tones for
evening stockings, sheer gun metal for
daytime stockings that are to be worn
with black or dark blue shoes. Sun
burn tones are still important and will,
am sure, be favored for both day and
evening wear with the coming Of Spring.

Candy Makes Good
Card Party Prize

Try candy as prize at your next
card party. =
You can make 1t yourself. Or you
can buy it.
Whether it is homemade or bought,
remember that good candy in smaller
amount is a better prize than poor
candy In larger amount. A pound of
fine bonbons makes an attractive prize,
whereas three pounds of sloppily made
fudge would be quite out of the question.
Fudge, however, when well made is
always acceptable as prize. Be sure
it is sufficiently firm, yet not dry. Pack
it neatly in a box lined with waXed
paper. Creamed walnutS are another
good homemade candy for prizes.
Make small balls of fondant and place
two walnut halves, one on each side of
the fondant ball, pressing them in
slighIty. Studded dates are also good
choice. Remove the date pits and fill
the cavities with nut meats, candied
ginger, figs or prunes.
