 Why Not Lotions
 One good gift for men, that women often overlook, is lotions. The man hardly lives who doesn't have a sneaking weakness for seemed soaps, lavender or violet preferred by most. Then they always adore after shaving lotions, pine needle bath salts, a huge box of bath powder with an enormous puff; creams for chapped lips and rough hands; a ticket for dozen manicures; all kinds of new shaw ing gadgets.
 Most acceptable for men, too, are whole long lists of goodies to eat. All men like chocolates, 1t seems to me. Whoever gives them handsome five-pound box with innumerable different shapes and kinds all done up pretty? Cheeses are in high favor with men. So are all kinds of imported thises and These include wine containers necks filled to brimming with olives stuffed with something besides pic mento; caviar. anchovies with capers, specially prepared .hors d'ouevre tidbits redolent with cheese; fancy jams, conserves. -in- dividual plum buildings or even just q huge jar of homemade cookies.

If you give him something handsome in the way of imported or homemade goodies, you will discover the way to his heart.

STORM FORCES
 TRIO TO RETURN

 The wind was growing stronger. The snow was falling faster, more madly, when Jack opened the door to speed his guests.
 "Better spend the night. It's hellish sort of weather" he said. But Nancy insisted she must leave. So did Grace and Page: Grace was wondering why Page had ask ed her to come to Sue and Jacks. He hadn't explained. She had fail- ed to find any explanation in any situation that had arisen.
 She would have understood a little more clearly if she could have heard Jacks words to Sue after the outer door had closed, as he pressed tho button that snapped off the ships lantern at the entrance to the house.
 "What's Page trying to do? Give Grace a rush to make Nancy jeal- ous? Or is he learning Grace's way?" Jack asked.
 1T don't know" Sue had an- swered, eyes dancing, but think
 he is still very much Nancy's." "Then why did he and Grace
 happen along tonight?
 "Did it mean something every
 time you happened along with a
 girl in your bachelor days?" Sue
 asked, slipping down into the
 cushions on the great divan by the
 fire. She had sensed the thing that Grace hadn't. She knew that Ar- mold Page was aware of Jacks sus- picion of him, that Page believed
 .. .and his Judgment was correct
 ... that Jack had refused to per- init her to act as his secretary because of jealousy, ungrounded though as it was. The gesture to-
 night had been intended to relieve that suspicion. It had been child ish, Sue knew. Unnecessary. too.
 But sometimes grown men did foolish things. Women could uri-
 derstand the motive but the men
 themselves couldn't know how
 ridiculous the action appeared. :. "So Nancy's getting a divorce" Jack talked on, sitting down on the
 divan and stretching his long legs toward the fire. T wonder what grounds she is using"
 "She is getting it so she will be free to marry Arnold Page" Sue answered. But she was puzzling over the birthday luncheon at which she had been guest. Nam cy's birthday that morning. Nancy had not expected him for lunch. But he had come home unexpect- edly and discovered that Sue and
 Page there. Sue, later, had found the jewels that were intended as a gift for Nancy, glowing with careless flame. against the dark rug of MT Becker's study. He had tossed them aside, apparently, not think ing that Nancy would want them. Sue had realized then that Nancy did not love her husband. not much anyway but that he loved her.
 Sue had thought that day that friendship had been slowly re- placing anything else that Nancy and Page might have known. They had laughed together about their old romance. and each had been surprised to find that the other ono had been so near the verge of mar riage. Page had hurried away so | he wouldn't ask Nancy to go to the jungies with him, he explained. Nancy had ordered a wardrobe for the tropics. just in case
 But the friendly guise was gone, Evidently it was more than that | that the man and the woman l meant to each other. Sue checked her thoughts. Someone was swing ing the knocker against the door

what can we give sister Ella, or Cousin Blanche. or Mrs smith for ChristmasY Would it be better to send something to their children perhaps7 It is always 70 hard Go tell what the might need or ap- preciate.
 Why not give them book apiece on child training? That would be a present for the whole family; and select different books for all three of them 50 they can trade about and get the beuefit of all.
 When sal "chiid training'' I don't really mean that. I dislike the word myself. "Guidance'' per- haps is betted. But I find that both these terms are likely to be un- popular with some parents. They flavor of ''complexes'' and ''inhi- bitions" and ''obsessions'' and al- though such things are Intensely interesting reading, and 1t is well to know what the mean: some way 1t looks like going back to school and dragging out text books again.
 Plain ''Child Raising"
 "Child understandings or "child problems" are much better sound- ing terms. or "child care" After all waht we are after Is ''child reading" or just plain "chold rais- ing"
 lent books about children. They cover the subject from the new born baby to the high school stu dent. They go by various names, but in almost any one of them q mother will pick up valuable in- formation and ideas about her children that will help her infinite- ly and for all time.
 Child Study Interesting
 one author writes about nervous children, another take up every day problems of everyday life. others discuss child care. The .abnormap child comes in for a fe wgood volumes also. Then there are books discussing the contro- versies such as the liberty" move- ment versus the old-fashioned sterner methods of discipline.
 Really, children are the most in- teresting subject in the world and strange as 1t may scem-the least read about. We read fiction. biography, plays, history, travel and most types of nature study with relish. Yet we neglect the most worthwhile nature study of ali--the children.
 The child Is a human being in embryo. Know a chiid's reasons actions, reactions. and motives and you know the whole human race.
 Sister Ella, or Cousin Blanche, or Mrs Smith may be quite satic- fled to go on without the aid of books, and they are probably get ting along very well indeed. Moth- CTS for centuries not only did not have books but up until the last century or SO probably couldn't have read them if the had. And everybody got along splendidly.
 Mothers Enjoy Reading
 think mothers love and commonsense the best book on earth, or better than the best book. But thin kthis. too. Almost any woman you'd thoroughly enjoy reading facts about children just as she would enjoy reading facts about anything else.
 Never have I pucked up book on this subject that I didn't think excellent and enjoy thoroughly. And. by the way, don't let the high-sounding title of book dis courage you, even though 1t does contains the word, "training."

Cleaning shoulders are the birthright of really lovely ladies. WelI-kept skin has way of show ing the fact. It has a moist, vel vety. dewy look that dried, parch- ed skin never knows.
 If your skin seems fiaky and dry, perhaps you are taking over- hot baths. One woman know gave up her luxurious hot tubs and be- gan taking cold showers mornings and only tepid baths at night. It did do something to her flesh, and to her spirit, too.
 Perhnps your shoulder and arms really need nourishing cream. The dry heat of houses is just as hard on your skin as it can be. Why not try using cream for an arm and shoulder massage, immediately upon drying yourself after your bath. Don't powder, just rub the cream in. You may be surprised how much of the cream your body drinks in.
 For evenings. if your shoulders still seem fiaky and not moistls dewy. use face lotion all over them rubbing 1t in well so there Is nt stickiness@Ieft You can dust ovel it lightly and 1t gives you a nic' finish.

The War Veterans of America,
recently organized here with head
quarters at 21291a Pennsylvania
Ave. N. W., have commended the
five-day week plan of President
Hoover, on the ground that the
shorter week in Federal employ
will mean a shorter week also in
private business, with eventually
greater demand for labor and
hence higher wages.
The organization favors imme-
date cash payment of the bonus,
and commends Senators Thomas

tives Rankin and Patman for
advocating that program.
