Every Home Will Welcome Any All of These Charming Gifts

to any living room. For, on the
top there are Dresden figures,
and it's delicately trimmed in
gold. The rest of the box is
colored and you can choose be-
tween green or red or blue. It
costs about $3.50. And why not
fill it with Christmas candies,
before you wrap it up?
Copper in Scrolls
There's scarcely a home that
couldn't do with another pair
of bookends. And the scroll
pair illustrated next along the
line above, are the most unusual
we've seen. They're copper and
heavy enough to support ency-
clopedias, if you wish. Rather
modern-but not too modern
to look well with any kind OF
decorations. And they're priced
at about 81, without the books,
of course.
Out of the Ordinary-fOr
Cigarettes

round of diamonds, and then put
himself in the lead by overtak-
ing Y's last trump. All the de-
clarer has to do after that Is to-
take two more leads Of spades,
exhausting all trumps in his
own hand and in that of B.
Upon each round of trumps one
high diamond must be discarded
from dummy. Having pulled all
trumps, z must lay down his top
heart, discarding upon it Y's
last diamond, leaving the five
diamonds good in rs hand, and
giving him a grand slam against
any possible defense, after op-
ponents have made the opening
lead of the ace of hearts.
Hands like the above, where
the high-blocking cards in one
hand must be discarded to en-
able the other hand to run off
q longer line of that suit, in my
own experience appear to be
dealt in any group of players
about once year, or perhaps not
so often, but aside from the
score there is a great personal
satisfaction in making the most
of every hand held. Sensing
that B may hold four trumps Is
more a matter of instinct than
judgment, because five missing
trumps are divided Al or so
only 80 times in 100 cases.

There's no need to be trite
these days in what you give
for Christmas. This year
everyone's giving useful gifts.
But that's no reason to give
something banal or uninterest-
ing. Why, with stores full of
such unexpected ideas, it's not
hard at all to be original as
well F.. as thoughtful in your
selection. We're describing some
grand things here today and
there are lots more in our
Christmas booklet. Have you
sent for 1t yet?
Some Light on the Subject
If, by chance, you're think
ing of giving a lamp to some
one, it's really quite foolish to
rush downtown and grab up
the first thing you see. It's
worth considering first where
the lamp is to be placed. And
should it be for a desk or bed
side table, we'd strongly recon-
mend the one we've sketched
at the left above. -
It's the grandest thing for
reading or writing or anything
where eye work is required.
For, as you see. the stem prac-
tically goes into a semicircle!
And the shade being lower
than most. the light sheds
more directly on anything you
want. It's made of brass with
the shade in parchment. The
smart stripes that circle the
shade are in a color and black,
and the price is only about
$3.50 for the whole thing. It's
50 without the shade.
Hexagonal and Useful.
A box is a very good idea, es-
pecially when it's shaped SO
that it may be used for a num-
ber of purposes. Sketched next
to the lamp you'll see a hexa-
gonal china one. What a lovely
addition it would be to any
dressing table! And, yet again,
It would add Q delightful note

ly would go well in any room
especially one done in Early
American! So is the price.
Answered Questions
What a hit you'll make giving
someone this tray on the right.
Printed across the top is the
question What Will You Have?"
and down the side what Have
You Got?" Do you get the
point? There are drink recipes
-croSs-indexed, you see, in or
der to determine what you wish
to concoct, from what you have
in the house. It's as light as a
feather! Gayly colorful, too, and
costs around 81.
We Saved the Best It'll Last
Perhaps the most amazing
gift we've found this winter is
the glass set in the last illustra-
ton. Each piece is decorated in
an exquisite trailing-leaf pat
tern. There are four glasses,
each with coaster, four cups
and saucers, four plates, a sugar
and creamer. Twenty-four pieces
count for yourself to make
sure! And now for the price
you'll never believe 1.-THE whole
lovely set costs only $3.50 or
possibly even less. It comes only
in white-no colors that are so
likely to go out Of date at any
minute. Wen leave it to any
body who gets this gift to guess
how little it. costs. We'd never
dream it was possible, our
selves-it's so beautiful! Do go
and take a look, at least!

Your Health
And Diet
BY Logan Clendening, M. D.

One of the pleasant features
of conducting a column Of
this sort is the knowledge that
sometimes comes to me that I
have helped a person in dis
tress.
Apparently the largest group
of this kind is of those who
have had a long continued
skin irritation caused and kept
aggravated by some familiar
article of wear or constantly
used as a toilet accessory.
For instance. last year I
abstracted an article by DR..
Everett Lain on the skin irri-
tation on the nose and around
the ears caused by white gold"
used for the mounting Of spec
tacles.
Nickel Causes Irritation
The white golc is made by
amalgamating nickel with gold,
and it is the nickel which
causes the skin irritation.
Some people are more sensitive
to it than others: perspiration
seems to form a chemical union
with the nickel, resulting in a
nickel salt very irritating to
some skins.
About two weeks after this
article was published gen.
tleman at my bank stopped me
and asked me whether I
thought the skin eruption he
had could be caused by white
gold. His eyeglasses were
mounted in this material with
ear pieces. over the back Of
his ears and especially in the
groove between the ear and
the scalp was a crusty, itchy
eruption. He also showed me
his wrist where he wore a wrist
watch which had q white gold
buckle. He had a similar erup-
ton extending half way up the
forearm.
Wore Rubber Pads
I told him it would do no
harm to try eliminating the,
white gold skin contacts. He
put some rubber pads over the
ear pieces of his spectacles and
changed the strap of his wrist
watch. Within a week the
whole thing had disappeared
and he has been without this
annoyance ever since.
He had consulted several
physicians, but before DR..
Lain's article called attention
to the cause Of the dermatitis
and they had not spotted any
connection between the disease
and the metal.
Such situations are common
people who go on wearing
some object Of dress or orna-
ment, or using some substance
like a cosmetic or face powder
or other accessory, and trace
no association between the
skin condition and the cause
of it.

An Authority on Problems OF
Love and Marriage


Love and Marriage
The other day a man wrote
me a letter and complained
he was very unhappy. The
source of his troubles he at
tributed to marrying too young.
He was 10 and his wife was 16.
After 10 years of married
life this gentleman felt entitled
to a new matrimonial deal, very
much on the same principle
that a child should not be held
responsible for something he
did on impulse. The pretty
doll which delights one in early
youth fails to appeal to more
mature taste.
There are three children of
this child-marriage. and while
the husband comedies the wife
has been an excellent mother
and a thrifty housekeeper, still
she has not progressed" She
does not represent his present
standing in the business world
and - here's the old familiar
theme-he has met a young
lady of % who does represent
him in all his "ideals, aspira-
tions and ambitions"
No Time for Progress
Not a single charge does he
bring against his wife but that
he has outgrown her and has
met the usual young lady.
Well, my sympathies are all
with the wife. If a woman
rears three children well and is
a good, thrifty housekeeper be-
sides, what times does she have
to progress? She hasn't even
time to go to the public library
and borrow a book; hardly has
time to glance at a paper.
A law requiring every father
to take complete charge of a
baby for "a hours would make
them more open-minded about
this progress" their wives
sometimes fall down in.

Eating Fruits
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
/. Will you please tell me the
correct way to remove cherry
seeds from the mouth when
eating them as a sauce at the
table? Also mention other
seeds, too please.
HENRIETTA.
/. We should take special
care, when eating anything
that has a seed or pit, not
to let the seed or pit enter
our mouths. That is why the
double silver service-the des-
sert spoon in the right hand
and, the fork of corresponding
size in the left hands such
a perfect type of service when
we eat fruits. The fruit should
be separated from the pit, If
there is one, with the spoon
and the fork.
In the service Of SteWed
fruits, it is the best form not
to serve the fruits with the
seeds, and this makes it more
agreeable and certainly more
convenient for the person eat
ing the fruits.
With such fruits as prunes
or peaches or plums. served
with the pits, it is easy for
the diner to separate the fruit
from the pit, with the spoon
and fork, or even when only
a dessert spoon is placed. With
small seeds. such as cherry
pits, it is not so easy. If one
gets into the mouth, remove it
to the spoon, and place it on
the edge of the plate.
