| Just about the time we are all very
sure that all this to-do about whether
woman shall have home OR a career
| Is as dead as cotton stockings and POM
padourS and that all more or less
thinking people accept the fact that. If
she wants to have 1t so, it may be Home
AND Career, one bumps into such an
experience as this:
Betty Lou had been the campus
beauty. Betty Lou had married Tom
| Greer, who won the Most Popular
Man" contests as easily as Betty Lou
won the beauty ones. Every one thought
| it was one of those made-in-heaven
matches.
The various alumni papers during the
| next few years had items from time TO
| time that made us all even more sure
| that it was a Paradise-created match.
Tom was more than doing well" There
was beautiful home out on the boule-
ward and the society section made fire.
quent reference to Betty's social tri-
umphs here and yon.
I hadn't seen Betty since we walked
in the daisy chain procession together
till the other day at the bridge party.
Betty wasn't the beauty she once was.
The serenity and poise and assurance
that had characterized her school-day
self seemed gone. This was a discon-
tented, restless, seeking Betty. 1 won-
dered why.
Before the party broke up we had a
little chat together. Betty cornered me
with the demand that I tell her all
about your perfectly fascinating job;
how did you get started: can any one
get in; how I wish had something to
do like that"
But your own days must be pretty
full and interesting" reminded Betty,
indicating some knowledge of her social
whirl, the demands of her home, etc.
"But what does it all amount to?"
asked Betty. What have done and
what am doing with my life? You
remember that had a few talents
back in school. I could have written
or designed or painted or done one OF
several things. But for 10 years I've
been just one of our leading young
matronS.'
It seemed futile to remind Betty that
so far as could see, there seemed to
be no earthly reason why matrimony
especially such matrimony as she had
achieved, should keep her from any OF
these "careery" pursuits.
But drab little Louise Mum had

Jellied Tomato Salad.

Cook together for 20 minutes three
cups of canned tomatoes, one sliced
onion, one-fourth cup of celery, one
small bayleaf, one teaspoon each of salt
and sugar and two whole cloves. Soak
two tablespoons of unf1avored gelatine
in one-third cup of cold water for 10
minutes. Stir into the hot tomato mix
ture and then rub through a fine
strainer.
Cool the mixture until it begins to
thicken. If you are in hurry, this
may be accomplished quickly by stand
ing the bowl In pan of cracked ice or
ice water, or by placing it in cold air.
When the gelatin mixture begins to
thicken stir in one cup of finely cut
celery one small green pepper shredded,
one-half cup finely diced apple and
one-third cup of chopped pecans, pea
nuts or walnuts. Pour into small, wet
molds and set aside to chill and harden.
Turn out, garnish with lettuce and
serve with mayonnaise or cooked salad

TIME place Of the dining room in
the small suburban house or
city apartment has been chal-
lenged and the time may come
when for the average middle
class family living in small quarters
dining rooms will be as rare as they
were a century ago when it was only
the fairly well-to-do who bothered with
them at ALL
Several things have happened to
bring about this situation. The scarcity
and high price of maids has led many
women to do their own houseWork VINO
would never have thought of doing so
under pre-war conditions. And when
the housewife does the cooking and the
serving the advantage of eating meals
near the kitchen becomes apparent.
Building prices have scared and the
Importance of any room that is not es-
sential to household efficiency and fam
lily comfort is naturally questioned.
With improved cooking equipment
many of the disadvantages of eating
in the kitchen or in a nook opening
directly on the kitchen have become
less apparent. With the scarcity OF
maids and the increase of automobiles
the habit of taking an occasional meal
away from home has increased. And
so women have begun to wonder
whether after all a dining room is
really necessary.
In small apartments the old-time
dining room is rapidly disappearing
Sometimes the kitchen is large enough
for the informal meals that one takes
at home, or there is very small
dinette or eating nook attached to
a small kitchen, or else there is kitch-
en-. with a living room at one end OF
which Arrangement for meals may be
made. With these three possibilities
| to choose from, the dining room no
| longer seems necessary in the small
apartment.
| Some of the new suburban houses are
made without a dining room-the
| space that would have been used for
| this room being thrown into the living
| room, where the more leisurely meals
may be taken. Breakfasts and hasty
| luncheons may be served in the little
breakfast nook connected with the kitch-
en-. Many studio houses are of this
sort and appeal to those who feel that
the conventional dining room with its
conventional furnishings has little
| place among persons whose habits OF
| life must be informal
| The majority of new houses still have
dining rooms, and of course, the older
houses which most of us live in have
room of this sort. There are ad-
vantages in the conventional, formal
| sort of dining room, and, even II you
do have to prepare the meals for the
family and serve them without maid
you may find the inconvenience of the
dining room service offset by the ad-
vantages of having room where meals
may be taken comfortably and without
confusion. If you have taste for ira
ditions you probably do want to keep
your dining room for the purpose for
which it was originally intended and
you like to feel that it is not used
| for sitting room or a sewing room or
a play room, but simply and formally
as a room where meals are to be
served.
Then the dining room becomes the
most formally furnished room in the
house and the one where needless sorna-
ment and clap-trap are most rigidly

down to listen and contribute. Louise

Your life is the only life for a woman,
Betty. and you haven't brains enough

1t rather nullifles the value Of free
will choice to be sure that whatever
you choose you will ponder upon what
might have been. But such incidents
repeated on every side make you rather
so believe.
Also, they would tend to prove that
the happiest women are those much

ally bundled up with every garment

Observe this small child shopper. He
Is usually being pacified with some
thing, from rubber nipple to an all7
day sucker, anything which win pre-

fort and desire to go home.
If he so much as lets peep out of
him he is subjected to a good slap or
his arm is twisted painfully or mother
whispers seductively, Candy, candy,

ton designs to lull him into uncon-
SciousneSS.
There ought to be some way of pro-
tecting children from this annual sac

willing to take charge of her neighbor'S.

Christmas frenzy. No idea could be
more pernicious. Children do not need
added excitement in their lives, they
need to be protected from what there
is. Adults become deadened to noise
and their jaded sensations need to be
stimulated They enjoy Christmas even
while they deplore it. Not so with
children They lose their appetites
they can't sleep nights, they. suffer
from nightmares, all because their
nervous systems are over stimulated by
the thrills, the mysteries, the lights and
noise and color that are inextricably
bound up with this particular season.
It would be splendid if we could in
ject into each mother a saving sense
of guilt when she starts out on her
Christmas shopping expedition with her
children Instead of considering her
self a martyr for their sakes. she
should realize that she is a disrupter
of their regular schedules and an enemy
of their placidity. Viewed from that
angle, she would be less likely, two
hours later, to be calling upon heaven
to witness that there never was such
a little demon as Johnny. and after
she'd taken all the trouble to bring
him down town to see Santa Claus, too!

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Monday, December 10.


Good aspects alternate with adverse
while this confguration prevails, ac-
cording to astrology.
Both men and women may be SEN
sitive to vibrations that incline them
to moodiness and irritability. Self
control is important under this direction
of the stars.
The hours before noon are read as
best for business or professional work,
which should be pushed while the sway
continues.
Women may be inclined to much ac-
tivity. but they should be careful lest
they be conscious of haste and develop
the sort of nervousness that defeats
effort.
There is sign indicating tendency
toward romance and lovemaking, but 1t
is well to be cautious in choosing life
partner under this rule of the stars.
Weddings should be fairly fortunate
on that day, which seems to promise
happiness to those who use logic as well
as love in making life plans.
It should be favorable date Tor
openings of new plays and should bene-
fit all who are connected with them.
Many new business projects OF inter-
national scope again are foretold for
the coming year. One of these will be
attended with grave difficulties involv-
ing the United States. it is predicted.
Sensations in military circles abroad
are prognosticated.
The stars presage for department
stores and other places dealing in wom-
ems attire season of much profit, for
changes in modes will benefit them.
Boston may suffer from severe storm
that causes great property damage. but

Crystals for Christmas

One style known as the Vatican twist,
after it had been selected by the Vati-
can for its crystal service, was of white
crystal with finely grooved swirl COW
ering the entire surface of every piece.
Another object of art in this same
ware was fruit bowl of moonstone
glass. The lower part of the bowl
showed cracked surface effect and
had its blush tone accentuated by a
blue border around the edge of its base.
Water might take on piquant flavor
were 1t slipped from one of the flower
like goblets of Bohemian glass. Possess
ing all the delicacy of Gala lilies, their
amber bowls seemed to grow out of
calyx-like stems Of dark amber or dark
green glass with Swirling grooved sur
faces
From Sweden comes a varied collec-
ton of pure white crystal following
many classic old Swedish types. One of
the favorites from this country is the
diamond pattern used in whole sets of
Stemware.
A large boat-shaped flower bowl made
particularly stunning impression in
this pattern, sparkling with almost the
brilliancy of cut glass.
A fascinating thought about the mod
ern craze for colored tableware is that
woman may enjoy the variety of
many different colors at different
times on her own table An informal
luncheon party may be decked out with
colored cloth and colored glasses to go
with it. Bridge parties may be treated
to another color while still others may
appear at dinner.
Important accessories in glass which
thoughtful modern hostesses do not
omit these days are cigarette holders
and dainty individual ash trays. The
holders come in various fiat and round
forms while the trays. no bigger than
the old-fashioned butter plate, have
scalloped and plain edges.
In addition to the convenience they
provide each member of dinner party,
they bring just bit more color and life
to the holiday table.

excluded. If any pictures are used on
the wall they should be of reposeful,
impersonal sort, that add to the har-
mony of the room and do not require
close scrutiny. Furniture should
match in wood and period" or should
at least be harmonious Well Kept
polished wood floors require no cover
ing, though in order to make for per-
feet quiet some dining rooms are COW
cred entirely with carpet.
There are linoleum type floor cover
ings which may be used effectively and
tastefully in the less pretentious sort OF
dining room.
China cabinets, save the built-in
sort that are continuation OF the
woodwork, are rather out OF favor
Aside from table and chairs one usu-
ally finds a buffet and serving table
In the formally furnished dining ROOM
It is no longer considered good form
if indeed it ever was--to load the buffet
down with silver, glassware, etc.
The serving table, which should
stand near the pantry or kitchen door,
is preferably left quite bare.
When the dining room must do
double duty, serving as a dining room
at meal time and a sitting room or
writing room at other times, still an
effort should be made to keep the room
free from needless and distracting or1a-
ment Even If you do choose the din
ing room as place for writing letters,
sewing playing games, ETC., there is no
necessity for keeping writing materials
on the buffet and your sewing basket on
the serving table. An excellent plan Is
to have a corner cupboard with incon-
spicuous curtains at the glass doors to
use as place for keeping games, writ
ing materials, sewing things ETC., which
might otherwise ruin the appearance of
the room.
There are times when 1t Is highly
desirable to have lounge in the dining
room When large family has to find
shelter in a very small house or apart
ment it is even conceivable that the
dining room must serve as an occa-
sional sleeping place, and rather than
have no way of Offering shelter to an
overnight guest a lounge in the dining
room may be used.
So if the dining room lounge Is de-
sirable, do what you can to make
as much in keeping with the rather
formal spirit of the dining room as pos
sible The broad, low divan may be
used in such a way that 1t takes on the
aspect of comfortable window seat.
If covered with a monotone cover of
velour or rep with cushions covered
with harmonizing unfigured silk or rep,
1t may actually add to the attractive
ness of the room.

Ideal Italian Beauty
Of 500 Years Ago

Here are the qualifications of the
ideal type of feminine beauty as it
existed in Italy 500 years ago:
"a slender, flexible neck, black eyes
and golden hair, as wavy as possible; a
small, straight nose, throat white,
round without a blemish, arms round
and full, shoulders sloping and FORE
head very high"
The Botticelli type Of feminine beauty
which has been admired by poets and
painters for all the five centuries since
Botticelli made it famous in his paint
ings is described thus:
1.-THE face has long, limpid eyes,
delicate, quivering nostrils, slender,
nervous neck, slightly accentuated
oval face, sensuous, sweetly mocking
mouth, the voluptuous curvings of
which are to be found centuries later in
the pensive faces of the sensitive
beauties of Rosetti and Burne Jones" F"

DO you enjoy your food !?

IF you do not enjoy your food it
i is a true sign that you are losing
your appetite. And when your ap-
petite is "gone" it means you
haven't the resistance to ward off
disease. Loss of appetite rs only
symptom. General weakness per-
vades the entire body. There is no
desire to work or play.
Rich, red, blood builds and
SuStains
Your physician will tell you that
lowered vitality is the result of an
insufficient supply of red blood
cells-those vitalizing elements in
the blood that build and sustain
the body.
Without plenty of rich, red blood,
there can be no strong, sturdy,
powerful men, or beautiful, healthy
women.
When you get your blood cells
back up to normal, that sluggish,
let-down feeling, loss of appetite,
rheumatism, boils, pimples, and
skin troubles disappear. You get
hungry again; sleep soundly; solid
flesh takes the place of that which
was once fiabby. You feel strong;
and YOUR nerves become steady.
