Boxes

big rectangular boxes with q really beautiful classic picture on them - those sheep browsing the meadows beneath the trees by Corot--anyone would welcome one of those! Or an antiquated box, men hauling in the Yule log, an iridescent peacock. a peaceful pie ture of a harvest home or having, a French landscape, an English cottage, prominent movie stars. or children, or flowers. or pretty girls.
 Or the design may be modern. istic, or a Scotch plaid. ships, a turkey, a harvest moon. an owl and pumpkin, a castle all lit up for Christmas, gallants and ladies, imitation wood finishes, intricate scrolls in gold and brilliant col ors, a mauve box with a wreath of yiolets, a seeress with globe. or a box to contain prayer book bearing a picture of Our Saviour or the Blessed Virgin, or a jewell box after an ancient pattern glow ing with an old design.
 At any rate have a look, when you are doing your Christmas shopping, at these Autographed boxes which not only contain such delicious delicacies but also pro- vide a present that will last.

them for their products, but they bear scenes from all ages and every part of the world.
 There are scenes. for instance. from Greek mythology, rare old tapestry, Colonial costumes, an ancient argosy the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers. Sedan chairs, the return of New England fishing fleet a mediaeval matron sitting at her spinning wheel. the pow dered wigs and bi1lowing dresses of the days of Madame de Pom- padour.
 And places! These boxes will bring back glimpses of many places where you have travelled. and serve as reminders of them year after year. An Oriental brass shop, American Indians, Dutch windmills, scenes from Japan, a glimpse of Venice, Manhattan's skyline, hint of Amalfi, a panel from palace in Paris. a gor- geously colored Eastern picture with camels and suggestion of the Tai Mahal.
 Two Presents in One
 Of course you can't find all these boxes everywhere. but there is a variety of them in almost every grocery and chain store. and they furnish a wonderful way to give two presents in one. Take those

The time of this story Is next spring, and the weather is warm enough for everyone to sit out doors. Grandma is. placidly knit ting, her skein of wool safely en- sconsed in a pretty tin box out of reach of the kitten. "Toodles" is starting off to school, bearing an oblong tin box in bright colors in which her lunch has been carefully packed. Mother is sewing, and her spools of thread and paraphernalia are in Q tin box by her side. Little Bobby, too small to go to school, Is la boriousIy Juggling some crackers around in tall tin box. Still an- other tin box contains fathers cigarettes and keeps them dry out doors.
 But that is not all. Inside the house, there are handkerchiefs and gloves lying in other handsome tin boxes, neatly folded cravets in a colorful tin box that proved to be exactly the right size for them. manicure things in another box, and still other tin boxes brighten ing the pantry shelves. There is even jewelry ill boxes so bedecked and beautifully Autographed that they are worthy of the treasures they contain.
 How does 1t happen that all these attractive tin boxes have been put to such varied uses? The answer is Christmas-the merry time when this family was pre- scented with so many tin boxes containing biscuits, candy, choc- plates, cookies, crackers, fruit cakes, glace fruits, nuts, even pretzels, these products keep bet ter in tin containers and also sell better in them because of the pic lures and gay designs with which they are Autographed.
 Let's have a look at these boxes with a view to buying some this Christmas and thus keeping some thing which contained our Christ mas present a constant reminder of us throughout the year. It feels good, somehow. to hear some one saving: "Oh, that's the box that Betty gave me for Christmas. It has proved as useful as the contents were delicious. Betty's dear!"
 They come in all shapes--round. oblong, square, rectangular, tall and short--and each one lends it. self, after being emptied to some definite household use. And the colors! They are gay and gleam- ing with many varied pictures and designs.

 And especially" cut in Fleur. and Linda yielded the floor with a 1itle sigh of relief. Tom, slow l ly emerging through the swinging door with tray on which glasses tinkled invitingly. caught the end of Fleur's invitation. He stopped and Linda, again rallying her brightest smile, drew him into the conversation.
 "Mr DeVos will be with us to- morrow, I hope, Tom" she said. "Fleur's going to introduce him in the evening to some of our justly famous Long Island roadhouses and we're persuading him to stay over."
 "Fine." Tom took his cue promptly. "He can have a dip in the morning and perhaps Pratt will stay toe and give him some tennis, even If you and I can't play as we'd planned. We reserved the Country Club courts in advance-they are so crowded over the holiday week. end," he explained to the Belgian. "It seems shame to waste them"
 Deliberately he walked along be- side the two returning players and Linda saw that he meant the con- versation to continue into the draw ing room where Marvin could be neatly included in it. He could manage this better than she, in her present frame of mind, so she dropped behind them and made a pretense of arranging the maga- zines on the central table. She heard several voices, Marvin's deep booming heartiness among them. Then the bidding started with re- newed Zest and in moment her husband rejoined her.
 Pratt fell for it," he whispered. That worked maryelously! Evil dently tennis is his meat. Now moment and then I'll go upstairs come down you must lock the door behind me. If you're frightened for any reason--or no reason-yell like blaZes and keep on yelling. But I'm sure you won't be. If Stat lander is the man he must be sure by now that he's safe and all he'll want is for things to keep on as they have been so he can get tAaway without any trouble. A thousand to one he's sleeping the sleep of the just"
 Hes the only one now that we have to persuade to stay" Linda's mind had strayed under these ad- mentions. She wanted only to get to bed and she realized that there was such thing as being too tired to be afraid.

 Nancy's eyes were on the fire again. She was too proud to let the man see the tears they held. After all, he had loved her along time ago. Maybe he had changed and had not realized it when he first came back and had sent her the wild, exotic fragrance of a perfume he brought from the wilds and couldn't keep his voice quite steady when he talked to her. That was long ago. but she wondered why he had made no reference to the fact that her husband was the one who wanted the divorce. not she. She must know. she decided.
 Aren't you interested in know ing that my husband is the one who wants his freedom?" she ask ed.
 Tine man shook his head. I'm only interested in knowing wheth- CT it will be hard for your to let him go."
 Now Nancy's dark head was raised proudly.

He's making a grand husband for Corrinne, too. But don't think he'll cheer his father down this matrimonial alley. But you can't tell"

fair want it to be. and wondered if 1t would be all right to have vanities for favors. It would not be insinuating that their looks could be improved would it?'
 Merry, no! All girls like vani- ties and I never saw one who couldn't use one more. know just the compacts to choose, for some girls like loose powder and others like it in compact form"
 That's wonderful" said Sally, land as these girls are all inti- mate friends I happen to know which like which. You know how 1t is at a dance when all the girls crowd into the dressing room at once-each one gets to know what cosmetics the others use.'
 v Here is the vanity ensemble" [ said, producing silver colored c rdboard box, containing a set of compact and lipstick. "The vanity inside contains loose powder-isn't the black and gold case attractive? ? And the 1ipstick matches you see."
 And this is the triple vanity with it's compact powder, rouge and pull-opt lipstick. Very handy to use and the red. gold and black case is quite stunning think. Both these vanities are unusually attrac- tive and they are delightful Christ mas gifts as well as favors to be given by bride-to-be. Here's an- other idea, Sally. If one or more of the girls happens to be supplied with vanities. a group of lipsticks would be unique. Red coral for daytime, because it's a natural youthful tone, red geranium for evening to bring out the dark beauty of the brunette or to subtly accent blonde coloring. Red rasp- berry for her demure moods and for dainty pastel shades of cos tume."
 You have grand fdeas,' said Sally. .'Each gift will be individual too, for must consider each girls coloring as well as the kind of pow der she prefers"

 Any of us can count on the fing- CTS of one hand the few women we have known who had perfect posture, the kind that makes a wo- man seem poised for flight, even when she stops to look in store window.
 Irene Castle has 1t. Even after ali these years since she and Ver- non made fame as the perfect dancing couple, she seems to walk on air, so graceful is her posture.
 Fat stomachs are in large part due to sagging backgones. That roll of fat across the shoulders which marks middle-age also Is due to wrong posture. The back the top vertebrae arc thrown out. Fat easily accumulate on this shelf.
 The really graceful woman is so 1.-the that she swings every step clear from her ribs. The entire hip joint moves, not just her legs from the knees down. The woman with perfect posture just floats onto a chair. doesn't plump down the way most women do.
 It's all In your backbone, really. Keep that important nerve center absolutely straight, every joint high enough above the next one to preserve the natural air cushion, and you are on the high road to perfect posture.
 Dancers have a natural advant- age. They learn the value of muscle control and the necessity of stretching their backs until they grow tall and straight.
 The best way for the average woman No start correcting her pos ture is to concentrate on back ex- ercises every night and morning. They are not hard to do but.it is hard to keep on doing them day after day. And only continued ac- tivity will bring any reasonable improyement.

 TRUE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
 "I get 90 mad," declared Mrs Smith. Every time I meet Laura she begins on the things have and she hasn't. To-day she was going on about Christmas. and how our children would have this and that and her boys could have 60 little"
 Well, you can't blame her.. Mfr Smith expressed himself. "She has had a hard time"
 T know-I know" impatiently. "But in our own way you and l have had 1t harder than she or Jim. Look at our big notes, due next week and no money even to pay the interest. We lie awake nights, too. Jim hasn't had any work, but the rest of us try to see them through and they've had enough to eat and wear. They're back with the rent but we have practically lost our house. call 1t about even"
 Saved for Christmas
 "We'll have to see that her boys get something" suggested MT Smith.
 "Of course. She knows that too. The only thing is that when she sees our Dick with 8 new sled she Is going to have fit because he's giving Billy his old one."
 We really shouldn't be buying our children, expensive presents, May" most everything I've needed this winter. I got my shoes half-soled three times and I've washed my one pair of gloves till they're like paper. I've saved every way l can and now Pm going to get the chil- drep few Christmas presents if I feel like it.'
 ."All right. I guess you've earned it."
 You're right I have. And If Dick gets a new sled and paints up his old one to give Billy that's all right too. Laura needn't get 50 jealous. Someday maybe she'll be fixed better than I ann"
 That's settled then" said Mir smith relieved. T feel myself that matters only get worse when people feel like your cousin Laura does"
 Enyying the Neighbor
 Mrs Smith was looking out the window. Suddenly she cried out. John, there's MT Evans driving into the garage with a new car. Did you ever? And to hear her talk you wouldn't think they had a cent on earth"
 T suppose 1t is the family Christmas present"
 .'Christnias present or no Christ mas present, what right have they to q new car? We've had ours for five years and Bob Evans is in the same business you are-or were"
 Hes been luckier I guess"
 "Why should he be so lucky? You've worked harder than he has for years. I can't understand it."
 Don't be like Laura, my dear. She is jealous of a sled. And you are jealous of car. suppose Mrs Evans is jealous because her sister has gone around the world. Is that what you might call the Christmas spirit?"
 All of Us Jealous
 Mrs Smith looked around and said suddenly, You're right. We are all alike, aren't we? Touchy and jealous and spiteful. It must be the times. I'm glad Bob Evans can have a car. They needed It.. Besides he subscribed a lot to the Welfare"
 Good will toward men!" MT Smith said refiectively. We cer- tainly do need all of it this year, don't we"
