THANKS TO ALL

1t has been especially gratifying
TO the Faithful Circle of Kings
Daughters to have had so much in
money, and otherwise, contributed
to them for their work this winter.
They take this way to thank those
who have in any way made the work
more easily and readily done. The
White Christmas" that the Presby-
terians celebrated Oh Sunday was
given to the Kings Daughters for
distribution on Monday, and these
packages made glad the hearts Of
those who might not have had so
much to be glad about. The colle3-
tion in the Avenue Methodist Church
on Sunday at the evening service
was also given to this worthy organ
ization, and will be used as needed
during the winter. Many checks
from individuals have found their
ways to the neat balance in the Cir
cles bank book and will be = help
to those in need There promises to
be many calls for help this winter
and it is a satisfaction to know that
when those calls come there will be
money waiting for just that pIr-
pose. The Kings Daughters thank
one and all.

About Engagement Rings

About Engagement Rings
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Jack, my boy friend, has
given me a very pretty engage
ment ring, with a green stone.
I love him dearly, but am
ashamed to wear the ring be-
cause it hasn't a diamond. Jack
hasn't been long in business,
but couldn't he have managed
it somehow? What shall do?
MAYBELLE.
Some girls seem to wish to
flaunt expensive engagement
rings as proof that their frances
are willing to go heavily IN debt
for them. I don't see any Senti-
ment in this, or, indeed, any
sense in it, either, and I must
confess that / admire Jack for
giving you only what he could
honestly afford. Don't let van
ity or the envy of some other
girls diamond enter into this,
dear Maybelle, poisoning the
love that you and Jack have for
each other. The diamond can
come later, when there is money
to pay for it.

He Never Had a Start

II saw you," he answered,
with the same unnatural calm.
And I thought of that first
time I came in here. When
you were in the window ar
ranging the ivory elephants"
With a fluttering movement
of her hands she said, The
baby, I've never seen him."
II stole him to take him
out" Ken explained. II have an
idea he doesn't like his nurse.
You know, even when they're
very young they have likes and
dislikes. Sort of starched linen
nurse she is; eye like a hawk.
Rapacious eye, you know. I
know the Colonel here doesn't
like her"
The Colonel Something
pitifully appropriate in the
nickname Ken had bestowed
upon his son. Nothing round
and rosy-nothing babylike
about the infant, which looked
owlishly back at Ardeth. It
was as though a little old man
peered from behind the small
features.
Phyllis wilkins words
flashed back to the girl: THE
nurse said she pretty nearly
killed the poor little brat from
the first !" the boy never
had a fair start ="

TIMELY WORDS
ON PROPER
ETIQUETTE
By Mrs. C. Beeckrnarl

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Does a gentleman precede Q
lady going upstairs? They say
a gentleman always precedes .
lady, but disagree, as going in
and out an elevator the lady
goes first-the same in board
ing a trolley car. the lady goes
first. I. B.
Are you sure that you mean
to say that they say that q
gentleman always pre:edes q
LADY,? Don't you mean the
reverse? A lady precedes when
a gentleman can be Of more
service to the lady if he pre-
cedeS her rather than If he
follows her. For instance, in
the cases that you name; he
goes first when they are get
ting off a trolley car or out
of a subway or elevated. train,
or when they are getting out OF
a motor car. In all the cases
the gentleman can help the
lady if he goes first.
There are other cases in
which there is much dispute.
For instance, about the order
when they are going up or
down stairs.
In America usually the man
allows the woman to go first,
in both cases. But I agree
with the European custom that
suggests that the man go first.
AS they go upstairs this Is
especially helpful, since in 9
sense he finds the way, and
particularly if the corridors or
Railways are one not familiar
to either or both. This is, OF
course, especially important in
Europe, where there are not so
many elevators and where one
finds not such welllighted hall
ways as we have. Hence I
suppose, the difference in Gus
toms.
Another question of proce-
dure and precedence: In res
taurants and in theatres. Here,
too, think that the gentle
man should precede. In a
restaurant. he should, I think,
follow the headwaiter so that
he may consult with him as to
the position of the table that
he wishes to have, and to indi-
cate how many there are to be
in the party, and so forth. In
the theatre, if he follows the
usher, he can see that the cor
rect seats are found. and can
be ip position to help the lady
to her seat in the row in which
are their places.

Ken Unbosoms Himself

did you know I'd left Mr..
Parker's office? I'm in for my
self"
At her nod, he went on. "It
wasn't that he wasn't consider
ate. He's been kind. But that
was just it. I don't want kind
ness! I want to stand on my
own! To own my own success!
I've got to have something of
my own"
Something badgered in his
voice. She looked swiftly up at
him. His head was high-not
the gay confident lift of other
days. Defiant. His eyes were
angry, bewildered.
He suddenly swan in the
mist of her own tears. Tears
which she tried. in dismay. to
check. She saw that he had
risen. Was reaching for her.
oh ;; Ardeth sweet
heart :"
A little cry halted him. A
little crow from the baby. Held
in Ardeth'S arms, he had been
fascinated by the glitter of a
tiny chain about her neck. His
small. wavering hand had at
last captured it and a scatter of
tiny pearls Sprinkled the girl
as it broke.
The accident startled them
back to themselves. Ken stopped,
gathered the scattered pearls.
Really, it doesn't matter"
Ardeth protested.

REFIN'jISHING
FURNITURE
BY Hannah Wing.

In refinishing old furniture do
not forget that wax polishing
is not only the easiest, but also
one of the oldest and best
methods of finishing. It is
customary to wax wood that
has not been filled, but to
which a coat or two Of thin
shellac has been applied to set
the stain. Filled woods do not
show the polish so advantage
ously. The wax finish will not
show scratches to such an ex-
tent as varniSh or French fin
ish, and may be renewed in
the simplest manner.
Some people are afraid Of
waxed floors because they think
they are dangerously slippery.
This is not true if the floors
are properly polished. If the
floor is uneven and the wax is
not thoroughly rubbed in, one
might slip, but it is careleSSness
that causes slipping-nOt polish.
To remove white mark9
caused by hot dishes on your
dining room table, rub vigaf-
ouSly with warm canphorated
oil. Spirits of camphor may be
used instead. but requires cars
full handling. If you use the
spirits, heat. moisten rag and
rub spots very lightly. When
the color has been restored,
rub on a light coat of wax, let
dry and polish. If you have
waxed your table frequently,
however, you will have no white
marks. The wax builds up q
protective covering which heat
will not penetrate.
If your wood floors are
stained dark you can help to
preserve the original stain by
coloring the wax with which
you polish them. Put some wax
in a can, add a little oil ami
line dye. and heat only enough
to mix well. Cool to its original
consistency before using. You
may purchase the stain at any
paint store. FL
