Three famous names Amelia
Earhart, Lily Pons, Paul White
man. What do these names tell
of their three famous characters?
Everything, according to numer-
ology.
For the key to a persons inner
nature, you add up the nulner-
illogical values of the vowels IN
the name. Thus Amelia Earhart
is found to be a Number Five
type, Lily Pons a Number Six,
Paul Whiteman a Number One.
ITO the Number Fives," says
the numerologist, freedom is as
vital as the air. They hate
routine. Travel is a tonic; new
places, new people are an elixir.
Each undiscovered phase of life
intrigues them. Youthfulness of
spirit will ever be theirs"
The perfect description of
Amelia Earhart!
The Skies, Lily Pons's group,
are artistic, love music, harmony,
have a truly engaging person
ality. Financial difficulties will
never handicap you for long. You
cooperate well, are Just, fair.
People are never afraid of you"
All of which well suits the
golden-throated Miss Pons.
And as for the genial Paul
Whiteman, Number One type,
he just couldn't help being an
orchestra leader!
THE Number Ones are natural
born leaders," says the numerolo-
gist, independent. resourceful.
daring, creative, of fertile imagina-
ton. They like to tread new
paths, and relish adventure.
And notice that the complete
numerological valuation of Paul
Whiteman'S name shows all but
one of the digitS from to 8.
That means an ability to get

New Year Eve
Menus

New Year has a significance
to most people that other holi-
days lack. Perhaps it is because
it is new, vital, and shining with
promise.
Entertainment for informal
parties on New Year Eve while
of necessity somewhat the same
as during other holidays, yet
should have added little novel
touches which add to the eye
appeal.
A New Year buffet supper is
a success if the food is well
chosen and attractively dis
played. A menu that is both
easily prepared and gay is:
Potato Salad in Tomato Aspic
on Bed of Cress
Devilled Ham on White Bread
or Chopped Stuffed Olives
on Whole Wheat Bread
Pistachio Ice Cream
Assorted Cakes
Coffee
A second choice would be:
Cream Shrimp and Peas in
Patty Shells
Tiny Hot Rolls Butter
Currant Jelly
Cherry Ice Cream
White Cake Frosted with
Coconut
Coffee

The flavor and texture of celery
and olives make these a sought
for combination. However. tiny

whether you belleVe IN IL or
not matters little-in either case,
an astrology party would be
great fun.
To give local color" to your
party the signs of the zodiac
should be used in your decora-
tions. Suns, moon, stars cut
from silver paper with stiff blue
cardboard for lamp shades, would
be in keeping with your party.
Symbols of astrology could be
used for place cards and supper
served at the hour of midnight.
For your midnight supper an
appropriate menu would include:
Pineapple, Celery, and Chicken
Salad
Assorted Open Sandwiches

Frozen Mousse

Tea-leaf reading makes enter
tanning much more informal.
Done after evening supper in the
living room before the open fire,
there Is nothing more charming.
An Irish lady I have known for
many years always has such a
party on New Year Eve. Her menu
is practically always the same:
Sliced chicken, fresh fruit salad,
hot yeast rolls (Which she will not
trust anyone else to make, black
current jelly, and sweet elderberry
wine. In the living room she
serves tea with tea leaves. Since
she is clever at leaf reading, she
does this for each of her guests.
It is much fun to listen to and
makes conversation during the
whole year.
If YOU try such a party it is
well to have someone in to read
the leaves as this adds an air of
Veracity to the party. For your
service, one large pottery tea pot
with an accompanying pot of hot
water for those who do not care
for their tea so strong is needed.
If you do not wish to serve
this after a buffet supper, serve
your tea, delicious cookies and
pass candied orange and lemon
peel, toasted nuts, or candies on
hand from the Christmas candy

''PUZZLED.'

It wouldn't be wrong, my dear,
but 1t would be decidedly risky to
ask this young man what are his
intentions in regard to you. Are
you sure he takes other girls
places? He may be hard up and
just Dragging. Sometimes that's
the case, as innumerable girls
have written me. They have dis
covered the girls and the dates
Dragged about were only imagi-
nary.
AS you've gone with this young
man for two years, and he never
takes you anywhere or led you
to believe he is serious, don't you
think you are doing what is
known as wasting your time?

Getting Acquainted

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
(Which Is cOrrect-A says that
the boy should speak to the girl
first, B says the girl should speak
to the boy first. Both the boy
and the girl have been living on
the same street for three years
and have never spoken to each
other. What should the boy OF
girl say when they meet and
would like to speak to each other ?
(Which is cOrrect-ShOuld the
girl take the boys arm, or the
boy take the girls arm?
TOO BASHFULL-TO-TALK."
This boy and girl had best en-
list some mutual friend to make
the introduction. I'm sure that
they will find some friend ION
the same street" who will do
these introduction honors. If they
have gone for three years with
out speaking, it would look pretty
queer for either one suddenly to
speak forth"
A boy should never take girl's
arm. And a girl should not make
a habit of being clinging vine.
If there is occasion for her need
ing help-say in crossing a
crowded street or crossing, or an
icy pavement-the boy may offer
his arm for her to take, or he
may place his hand gently under
her elbow, to guide her across
the pavement or through the
crowd.

- ~AF~N AAAS
Now she runs to dances, teas
and club parties all the time. She's
out every night after the children
are put to bed.
"All of this gadding is because
have met q young lady who seems
to be infatuated with me, and now
1 must confess I'm becoming very
fond Of her. i want TO be with
her an the time. And it seems
she will be just the right mate to
carry forward some plans I have
in mind.
"There is, of course, the question
Of the children. Please answer.
"OFF-THE- PRESERVATION"
I'd really like to hear your wife's
side of the story, after nine years
of ideally happy married life. You
say your wife doesn't trust you,
and gads to teas and parties. Can
you blame her, when you confess
your infatuation for another
woman and say she'd be an ideal
mate for you?
The poor lady is running about
to places of amusement to forget
the fact that her home is wrecked.
AS you say, there is the ques-
ton of the children. When there
are young children in the home
who need the protection Of a
father and the care of q mother,
I always hope that parents will
defer stepping down 'ts primrose
path, at least until the children
are old enough to leave.

SHE'S OLDER
Dear Miss Fairfax:

II told her / loved her, and
she admitted loving me. But
when / wanted her to marry me
she refused because she is Is and
/ am %. She thought this was
too great a difference in our ages
and begged me to stay away from
her. I've stood the separation for
several weeks, but can't stand it
another moment. What would
you advise me to do? s. L."
If you're capable of supporting
a wife, would suggest that you
tell her two years difference in
your ages is negligible. If she
were IL or IS years older you
might worry, but two years is
nothing at all.

SHE'S PUZZLED

Dear Miss Fairfax:
what do you think of this
situation? For over two years
we've gone together. Sometimes
he stays away for weeks at q time,
but always comes back. He never
offers any excuse, and acts the
same as he did before he went
away.
Hes always Dragging about
taking other girls out to places,
but he has never asked me for a
date. Why would he continue com.
ing to see me if he doesn't care?
On the other hand, If he does
care, why doesn't he ask me for
= date, as he deOs these other
girls?
Would it be wrong for me to
ask him what are his intentions
In regard to me, and why he never
asks me for a date?
