Crystal Gifts

If you are not sure of a friend 3
taste in color or period, one of
the safest gifts you can make for
her home is crystal, advises Helen
Koues, director of Good House
keeping studio. Crystal fits into
any background, and has no quar-
rel with any decorating school, and
it gives a lovely lightneSs and
sparkle. The stores have charm
ing crystal offerings this year, not
beyond the average Woman's
budget. For instance, q pair of
crystal vases add charm to any
room, and they are lovely when
filled with flowers, You can get
them in all shapes, but one Of the
quaintest is a pair shaped like an
inverted high hat. For the dress
ing room, nothing's lovelier than
a lamp with crystal base and
opaline parchment shade in white,
peach, yellow or pale green. A
plate of silver, luster mirror or
plain crystal is just the thing for
serving sandwiches and hors d'oeu-
vres. Another suggestion is a
crystal relish set with four Sepa-
rate glass dishes, fitted in a tray,
or crystal cigarette jar and four
ash trays with a star design on
the bottom of each tray as well
as on the cover of the jar.

PettiCOat RuffIe
In Style

Petticoat ruffles have come into
their own again for decorating
purposes. according to House
Beautiful. For instance, four
poster bed may have scalloped
batiste ruffles around the edge of
the spread, the box spring and the
tester, or canopy. A charming
dressing-table decoration is made
by attaching a row of ruffles at
the edge of the table top and three
rows at the bottom of the skirt.
Lamp shades, too, can be made
entirely of the stuff of wide petit
coat ruffles with the material
stretched on the frame primly, or
just the border used in lovely,
bunchy Victorian ruffles. Another
way to trim a shade is with row
upon row of pettieoat scallops.
Window curtains of sheeting or
muslin with a double row of en-
broidery ruffles down the center
of the valance and more of it
along the inner sides of the drap,
cries are lovely in bedroom. Or
you can give interest to bright
calico drapes by a decorous line
of petticoat ruffling peeping out
between two curtains. You can
dye the ruffles If you will, but the
magazine advises leaving them
white. 1t is more in the spirit of
the original.

Fur Trimming

Lovely luxury is certainly to the

is a double shawl collar of the fur
which extends to the waist.

Americans have been spoiled by

The result has been that they

But as years go on the skin
begins to atrophy, just as every
other part of the body does; the
elastic fibers disappear; the glands
which secret fabrication for the
skin, and protection, atrophy.
Don't Battle Too Often

bath, especially in the winter

Elderly Persons Frequently Suffer
Painful Winter Chapping

Answer; You gave the baby the
toxoid at the right age. Anywhere
from six months to a year is
proper. Carefully controlled re-
ports prove that toxoid is not
dangerous or the cause of any
illness. OF course. it may be given
at the moment when some in
cidental illness is coming along,
but that is simply a coincidence
and not the fault of the toxoid.
Babies who do not have toxoid
are liable to a much worse dis
ease-namely, diphtheria-t h n
they could ever acquire from its
use. One of the worst problems
of preventive medicine in the
field of individual immunization
is the habit that irresponsible
people have of frightening par.

will find that they come third or
