SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Movie Thrills.
1t was wild scenario tale.
That the director shot,
With characters DER hill and dale
Or even ''on the spot"
The movie actors, even when
The role seemed rough and bold,
Behaved like honest workingmen
And did as they were told.
When for repose the player drew
Close to his home so dear,
About his head the dishes few
And lawyers waited near.
Scenario fiction has grown tame
Where desperadoes roam,
For true excitement change the game
And write about The Home.
why do you object to having your
remarks printed in the Congressional
Record?"
I'm afraid" answered Senator Sor-
ghum. that I might be suspected of
trying to make the good old Record
serve the purpose of the professional
colyumist,"
Jud Tunkins says the only real big
boss he knows of comes into evidence
with his wife's announcement that it is
time for house cleaning.

shoulder are very smart. Some of them are accompanied by muffs and are smart if the muffs con- ceal purse.
 The shawl effect Pellerine or redingotes with large revers ex- tending to the hips in front and going into a cape effect over the shoulders makes nice gift. They are very smart in leopard.
 Then there are fur Leis, cravat and cuff sets of flat fur and collars or fur for the dress or coat with a plain neck line. These are very inexpensive and make excellent gifts.
 Possibly a Handbag
 Give handbag and you can't be wrong. The two best accessory colors this season are black and brown Suede or dull kid with trimmings of reptile skin are the mode for bags. Get one roomy enough to take care of all of the odds and ends that a woman simply must carry around.
 Hosiery. of Course
 One can't go wrong with hosiery Everybody knows this one. And the colors here are limited to black anc browns in dull lusterless silk. Get TWO pairs at least, unless, of course you are accompanying them with something else-a bag or gloves. Ir that case, one pair is permissible
 Gloves Are Good
 Gloves should match the hand bag and shoes or the hat, but

Starting with the gift nearest the heart-One of the most accep- table accessories is something in fur. Fashion demands some touch of fur in the smart winter en- semble this year and the cry for capes. reddingotes, cravats, mufis, and jackets is long and loud. The extra special gift of fur is, or course, the fur coat. The change in the mode and reduction in price, is going to make this popular nice gift.
 Nothing could please the junior misses on your list more than one of those little short fur jackets that are being worn with the new wool en dresses. Be sure that it is cut very short and is one of the short haired furs.
 Then, there are those fur redin- gotes or capes. If you are going to make it a very nice gift get one in sable CT kolinsky; otherwise make it mink, otter, leopard, lapin or seal. And you'll be surprised how inexpensive these furs are this winter.
 A Tip On Capes
 Here is a further tip on capes. If you want to get something for formal or evening wear, an old fashioned tippet of ermine with a fringe of black tails at each end is the thing. For general wear, get a round, flared cape coming just be- low the shoulder with small high collar. Those fastening Qn one

shades of brown or black are a eafe bet if you are in doubt. If you arc giving a combination bar, gloves and hosiery gift, have the gloves match the bag, and the hose. The wide, gauntlet variety is ti,c laoess mode and should be of suede or dull kid, matching the bag.
 Lingerie Makes Lovely Gift
 Some men get fused at the idea of buying lingerie, thereby passing up an excellent gift suggestion The lingerie department in most of the larger stores is presided over by dignified and sometimes elderly saleswonen at this time of the year, and they know how to put the most embarrassed man at his ease. You will find such a wide range of colors, styles and fabrics in lingerie that whole feminine gift list could be filled in this one department without a single repetition.
 Last Minute Gifts
 At the end of the long and tire some shoppingexpadition or at the ast minute on Christmas Eve, there are usually several gifts that you haven't remembered and to which you're too tired to give much at .ontion. Here is Wher, thosa lovely boxes of handkerchiefs, pocket flask of perfume, a compact, or vanity fill in beautifully, and ap- propriately
