WINTER
By d c.. PEATTIE.

Conservation propaganda is now suf-
flciently widespread so that almost
every one who buys holly does so with
mixed feelings. Repeated warnings by
the Wildflower Preservation Society
that the holly will go the way of the
aigrette and the passenger pigeon into
total extinction have had their effect
or so. at least, It seems to me-in d.
minishing the actual amount of holly
purchased in the markets, though I
doubt If many. people refrain from buy
ing any holly at all.
The WildhOWer Preservation Society,
with headquarters here in Washington,
issues an interesting pamphlet on a
method Of preserving holly by a sort of
shellac from year to year, thus saving
an annual expense, and, more inpor-
tant to lovers of our native vegetation,
saving enormously on the jolly holly
tree, I know few people, however, who
like their holly dipped in shellac, and
fewer still who care to give it the room
it takes up for 80 weeks in the year in
order to bring 1t out again for tWo
weeks.
am not decrying the commendable
effort of the society, whose Leaders are
my admired friends. / wish every one
would put it in practice, but as I do
not do SO myself I cannot Feproach
others who do not. My reasons for fail
ure to comply with my own principles
are purely practical, and so are those
of my neighbors whose example !
follow.
Facing the problem of saving that de-
leetable, old-fashioned plant, the holly,
then We must also face what is a fact
as well as what we would wish. I would
like to suggest that good taste and san
ity might be used by the society as
shibboleths in educating public opinion.
Formerly, we thought that the Fourth
OF July was not the glorious Fourth un~
less everybody set off giant firecrackers,
fired cap pistols and threw sidewalk
bombs, while the local Congressman
and editors made speeches. Presently
we unanimously agreed that patriotism
of that sort was not worth the price
of thousands of blinded, manned or
dead little children. Good taste and
restraint mark the sane Fourth.
Similarly, the Christmas spirit does
not consist in buying small forest of
holly, overlooking the house with it and
then burning it. One holly wreath looks
better than 20. The day of mounds of
Christmas decoration has gone out, just
as 12-course dinners, whatnots, knick-
knaeks, antimacaSsaFs and Brussels
carpets have passed. I believe the psy-
Geological effect of too much Christ

SO far from being cheerful, 1t is heavy
and gloomy. The mind, In such a room,
finds no rest, while the fire danger is
terribly high all the time that the
greens are in the house.

Resting for Beauty.

Some Of the most effective beauty
aids are the simplest and least expen-
siye. Some are priceless only In the
sense that they cannot be bought for
money because they are free to all and
yet they are fundamental to health and
good looks. It is human nature, I SUD-
pose, to place greater value on an at
tractive jar Of sweetly scented facial
cream than upon free beauty aids like
fresh air, water and sleep, yet the lat
ter are of far more importance to ones
personal appearance than are any cos
metics.
Sufficient rest at night and also dur
ing the day is essential to beauty at
any age. The schoolgirl needs it, espe-
eially IL she is of the slender type and
Is growing tall rapidly. She is tempted
often to expend too much on sports or
social affairs and by so doing cuts down
the nine or ten hours of sleep she
should have each night. Going to bed
early Is not an old-fashioned notion
that modern young people can fout
with impunity. Nature eXacts pen
atty for each violation of her laws. So
the girl who allows her studies or
pastimes to eneroach upon her proper
sleep period will become thin and nerv-
ous with dark circles beneath her eyes,
SalloW skin and a llStlesS mind, that
no amount of makeup can eamouflage
into a semblance Of real youthful
beauty.
The young woman in her 2Os also
needs to have enough rest every day,
though not so much as the younger
girl. Loss of sleep during this period
of life brings premature lines on the
face, especially around the eyes and
mouth. Facial treatments help check
the teu-tale signs of waning youthful
ness but they cannot cure them. An
extra hour of sleep each day will do
more to erase that tired dropping of
the face than an occasional visit to a
beauty shop can possibly do. After ALL
when face looks tired, good rest will
improve its appearance and expression
more than anything else. One of the
chief benefits of facial treatments in
beauty shops is the feeling of relaxation
induced by the skillful massage of face,
neck and shoulders. One feels re-
freshed after such treatment because
one has let go all nervous tensions and
has taken q good rest.
AS the years pass, regular rest periods
Of sufficient length are still important to
beauty. The busy housewife and mother
needs to lie down for maps during the
day. Without these extra rest periods
she inevitably finds herself growing pre-
maturely old and tired. Her face shows
it in dropping lids and Sagging cheeks.

A Reconstruction Christmas
By LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

vase when properly mended can be
handsome when restored. White lead
mending has stood the test of time and
still proves good. The broken edges
must be washed until perfectly clean
and be bone dry" before the white
lead (paint) is applied to the edges.
Each piece must be pressed against the
one or ones next to it and left for the
lead to harden C"set') and hold the
piece in its proper position before an
other is thus secured. If a part is
broken section together first and then
secure the reconstructed section to the
main part of the vase. The person at
home can do this type of work himself
or herself. Lead intending is suited to
Clipped china and ornamental poree-
lainS.
If the piece has to be riveted in po-
Sition, an expert members services will
be needed Handles to valuable cups,
pitchers, ETC., must be Fiyeted, as a
strain comes on them. Dishes in con-
stand use, and which hold edibles with
juices or water, must be riveted to. be
safe. Glass bowls and dishes also must
zoe rtVeted. When eXpertly done they
are as useable as before theys were
broken.
Silvefware that needs REPEATING can
be restored to its pristine beauty and
usefulness and in its restored condi-
ton prove a delightful reconstruction
gift. With the silver worn off, the arti-
Gle has to be relegated to the top shelf
in the china closet or pantry, where it
does nothing but take up needed space
When restored it is actually "as good as
new" Few homes are without some
such worn pieces of silver, especially
hollow ware,
Broken strings Of beads can be re-
strung, and they, too, really become as
good as when first bought. Remember
to make a knot in the stringing cord
or silk after each bed Is strung. This
keeps beads separate so that the polish
does not wear by friction with other
beads. Incidentally, the knots prevent
all the beads from scattering when q
string breaks. When beads are valu-
able, as caTnelian or other genuine
semi-precious beads, such safeguarding
means good deal. 1t costs to replace
them.
Each person who reads this article
will remember some articles that she
wished could be restored to her in some
such a way instead of having a new
Christmas gift. Others feel the same
way so the idea of a reconstruction
Christmas meets with a certain re-
spouse. Why not try it out In part and
see the pleasure your work win bring.

For Southern Resort Wear
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Lightweight tweed dresses for South
ern wear are making their appearance
in the smart shops, and while some Of
them would be practical only for the
vacation wardrobe, others would ut in
perfectly in the Midwinter wardrobe
for the girl who stays at home The
world of fashion is no longer quite so
obseSsed with the idea Of tweed as 1t
was a year or so ago, but this smart
wooden material has survived on its own
merits and will appear in tempting YER
sions from now on until really warm
weather next Summer.
The dress shown here is developed
in shades of blue that are expected to
take leading role in the fashion spec
tacle for the early months of 1881. The
belt is OF black leather, with a fairly
large metal buckle, and the cuffs and
collar are of crisp fine white pique, very
simply constructed Since the smart
ness Of a dress of this sort depends to
so great an extent on the immaculate
crispneSs OF these accessories, one should
have one or two additional sets, so that
fresh one may be worn whenever the
dress is put on. The bow effect of white
plque at the front is especially interest
ing. The bow Is made from a strip of
pique about 3 inches wide, finished, and
% or % inches long. 1t is tied into a
nat bow, the loops and ends of which
are drawn to the outside Of the dress
through two perpendicular Sits in the
front Of the bodice. This bow may be
taken out and washed and ironed with
ease and put back into place without
difficulty.
The little cape shown on this dress
is removable, being held in place by
means Of snappers. For immediate
wear under a Winter coat the cape
would probably not be worn, but would
provide a very welcome bit of added
warmth on a cold day indoors.

ODD DRAMAS OF HISTORY :
English Royal Family Quarre Over Sabng of Queens Horses
BY J. P. GLASS.

George ~ Of England was so un-
popular that people were positively
happy over his death.
According to Lord Greville, the at
tendance at his funeral was not very
numerous. He adds: And when they
had all got together in ST. Georges

They were all as merry as crickets."
The new King, William ", was, Of

chapel directly behind his brothers

heartily by the hand. Then, smiling,
he stood bowling left and right.
Almost the first step Of William and his
Queen on ascending the throne was TO
have a miX-up with his royal highneSs
the Duke Of Cumberland, the only mem
Der Of his family with whom William
could not get along.
For a long time the duke had kept
his horses in the stables which usually
were set aside for the Queen. Not long
after the succession the Queens master
Of horse. Lord Erol, went to her.
Where, your majesty" he asked, do
you wish your horses TO stand?"

about II; But In the usual place,

"n 1t please your majesty" said
Enrol, "the Duke of Cumberland's horses
are In your stables and cannot be gotten
out without an order from the King
The Queen spoke to the King, He
commanded the Duke Of Leeds TO see
that the horses we're removed. 81 wish
that Cumberland would live out Of the
country" he said. 81 have a bad opin-
ion Of him. He causes nothing but

The Duke Of Leeds took the order to
vacate to the Duke of Cumberland
'I'll be damned If they shall CO." he
sputtered,

for example. Their woes are plentiful.
Because actors are within the preferred
class of artists" they are admitted to
this country for temporary stay and
employment without regard to quota
limitations.
Six months is the life OF an original

be extended indefinitely, but only for six

A young Englishman, whose name Is

Cumberland sulked, but he saw it was
no use to continue the argument. The
next day the stables were cleared.
William was in his SiXty-fifth year
when he came to the throne. He didn't
want TO be King. Neither did his wife
wish to be Queen. Their tastes were
simple, their manners democratic.
They would have much preferred to
continue as the Duke and Duchess of
