Good Plan to Provide
New Beauty
Treats.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

CAD . very wise, lovely lady the
other day. when all this holiday
rush and hustle is over, I'm not for
getting myself. I'm going to get some
sleep and then I'm buying some beauty
for myself at least half . dozen
Of the darlings I have bought for
others, then I shall treat myself to
a few fascials because the masseuse
who gives them has q way of getting
the kinks out from between the shoul-
der blades and that tenseness back
of my neck. Ill get q permanent, or
part of one, anyway, to lift these
droopy ends. I'll cream these sadly
neglected hands back into softness
and my manicures these next few
weeks will be oil manicures. If you
don't mind. Aside from that I'm can
ceiling all social engagements for at
least . week (there is the big New
Years eve party which I wouldn't
miss for the worlO and I'm of shop
ping for at least q month"
Thought I, Here's hoping you carry
all those wise resolutions through"
It's q grand idea. It's good for the
body, soul and spirit . suddenly to
wake up to a full awareness Of your
self. of the fact that you have been
neglecting yourself. of Q desire to make
the most Of yourself.
It Is fun to keep q list Of the lovely
things you've purchased for others
that you should have liked to keep
for yourself. It's fun to check them
of as others give them to you, and
then 60 out and buy the remaining
items for yourself. It's fun, partic-
ularly, If you have saved little of the
Christmas fund for yourself or If
some one near and dear to you presents
you with an unexpected little Christ
mas check.
The incest thing about giving your
you want. You needn't be afraid to
present yourself intimate little gifts
such as q generous jar Of emollient
cream for q very dry skin, or little
manicure kit for nails that refuse to
keep" for even one week between
manicures. You can treat yourself
to something frivolous, If the whim
prompts you. know one woman who
is 50 regal and proper and poised that
no one ever dared to present her with
what she calls "a silly something'-
SO she buys the little frivolities for
herself. If the family happens to be
particularly practical. then treat your
self to the glass jar and bottle sets
and the atomizers you've been want
ing. II you're 10 and the family
simply won't take the hint, treat your
self to beauty set and some make
up and blame 1t on the generosity Of
Aunt Agatha from Australia If you
have to. I think it's sll such o good
Merchandising yourself-it ought
to be q law.

New Gloves.

In fabric gloves for Spring the use
OF leather detailing and leather trim
ming is more general than it has
been hitherto. This applies particu-
larly to the suede-like fabrics Of
which a number Of designers are
boasting that they ARE the nearest
thing to the appearance of suede"
Styling Of these gloves naturally
aims to emphasize the leather" idea.
hence the use of smooth surface
feathers in hand-whipping, thong
stitching (often on the backs in dec.
orative pointing or other arrange.
ment) and in applications such as
cuff Innings, or sectional applique at
the center back of the top.
Usually the leather matches-it Is
felt somewhat garish to introduce con-
trast both Of color and of surface
but occasionally it Is in q blending
tone such as brown on beige. Cape
skins, kid and occasionally q very
small area of patent leather are used
in such fashion, rejecting the use
Of similar feathers for trimmings on
Spring fabric shoes. A tie-up in
promotion of fabric snoes and fabric
gloves, both trimmed in leather, is
a Spring accessory suggestion for
February showings.

Dorothy Dix Says
Mothers Have No Right to Select Mates
for Their Children.

All OF this quarreling is making q
nervous wreck of me and I'd leave
home If only knew any way to make
living. I could marry, but am not
in love and have been so much dis
illusioned about marriage that I don't
want to rush into it. What can /
do? I am an only child.
Answer-I think the best thing you
can do is to have a frank talk with
your parents and tell them that you
want them TO get a divorce II they
cannot live together in at least decent
peace. Tell them that they are not
only killing your respect for them by
the way they are acting and running
your happiness, but that they also are
wrecking your health and that In a
little while they will turn you into
nervous invalid for life.
PERHAPS that will bring them up
short and make them realize the
enormity of the crime they are COM
mitting against you and cause them

ously enough, when husbands and
wives quarrel they never seem to
think that the charges md counter
charges they hurl hurt the children
worse than they do each other.
Perhaps your father and mother
have had vague idea that they were
doing you some great good by staying
together even when they hated each
other and made a home that was a
purgatory for you to live in. If that
is the case. you will solve the whole
difficulty by letting them know that
it is useless for them to sacrifice
themselves longer for you and that
you would be happier with either one
or neither one than with both when
they were fighting like cat and dog.
and that an orphan asylum would be
better home for you than the one
they have been making for you. Di-
vorce is a terrible thing, but it is not so
terrible as for man and woman to
insult and revile each other before
their children and make a home that
Is place of discord and strife,

DEAR MISS DIx-w1l you kindly
settle an argument between nv
| friend and me? We can't agree on
what love really is. Will you give
us your definition Of love? r. &c.
Answer-Love is caring for some
body more than you do for yourself.
1t is putting somebody else's pleasure
and happiness and well-being above
your own. 1t is sacrificing yourself
for another and enjoying doing it. It
Is just the world being all right when
some one Is with you and all wrong
when he or she is absent. 1t Is Just
knowing some ones every fault or
blemish and not caring because 1t Is
Johns or Mary's. No one can define
love. 1t just is and nobody knows
the reason why. DOROTHY DIX.

"In here. child. What is the ex-
element about?"
| You'll be excited when tell you.
It's q secret from Paul, though.
Promise?"
II promise. What Is it?"
paul got the highest rating in his
class this month. He doesn't know it
yet. but saw the list on Mr.. Kean's
desk, and there is his name at the top
! Isn't that something's"
Wonderful. He must have worked
like a dog to get there. Are you
sure?"
Am I sure? Miss Carrie let me
take our list to the Office. I didn't
even peek at it because she told me
not to. But couldn't help seeing the
sheet on the desk with Pauls name
right at the top, number one. I
didn't look any further. but l
couldn't have helped seeing it. It
means q celebration, doesn't it,
mother?"
1T certainly does. But we have to
be sure. viii he know by afternoon?"
Sure. We get our cards and the
honor list is posted by the time school
is out this afternoon. He'll know.
Better make the cake, mother"
That afternoon q shining face was
lifted to mothers. II got something
for you, mother. Look, I'm top"
mot really? How did you ever do
it? It's wonderful. You must have
worked like Trojan to do this. Your
father will just about cheer his head
of tonight. To think you have
worked yourself up like this. We must
have celebration"
The celebration meant that this
evening Paul would sit in the seat of
honor for him, at his fathers right
hand. Before him there would be q
lighted candle proudly held in grand
mothers best silver candlestick. There
would be the ice cream and q party
cake for dessert and Paul would serve
them. That is all, but it is enough.
Children work hard to achieve their
triumphs. A higher mark in gram
mar, q place on the honor roll, q
perfect mark in conduct, q place on
the team-these are high points in q
childs career, victories he has gained
by hard work and self-discipline
They should be recognized. A reward
| of money, anything that speaks OF
payment for such victories, takes the
bloom on them. A family celebration.
a sharing of the triumph by de-
lighted family, is far richer reward.
| There is nothing 20 heart-warmins
as the cheer your own family send up
| in your honor. Families are sparing
| of their praise, and when it comes 1t
is doubly appreciated. Such . cheer
comes In simple enough fashion, costs
| very little and is worth tons Of medals.
any amount Of quarters for movies.
And they are the most coveted Of all
rewards, once their flavor has been
tasted. Search out occasions for them
and begin.

friends of hers who have a house there.
Is there any way we can show cur
appreciation of their hospitality while
We are staying with them? Or do you
think sending something later would
be better?
Answer: While you are there per-
haps opportunity will suggest what you
can do. II not. then merely write your
bread and butter letter, which is, of
course, necessary after you return
home. Or perhaps send your letter
with some small remembrance.
DEAR MRS. POST: Should . man

Answer: If they are shown to their

lows. (She does not take the usher's
arm except at . wedding.) If they
find their places without an usher and
the aisle is wide, they walk together.

influence. Is there anything we could

I do not know his wife.
Answer-I think 1t would be better
to wait until the child has become
thoroughly established in your family
and then write the politician q letter
and tell him how happy Johnny has
made you.
DEAR MRS. POST: My young
daughters Sunday school teacher
came to call on us shortly after my
child Joined her class. I suppose such
a visit need not be returned, but the
child would like me to take her to
see the teacher some afternoon, and
unless it would be very irregular
would like to.
MISUNDERSTANDING such visits is not
a social obligation, but it would be no
more than courteous to do so. Under
the circumstances. I would certainly
encourage the .child's impulse Of
friendliness by taking her with me.

Oe SupefSrtLt0nS.
EvEN your best friends are some
times superstitious-so SUPER
stitious, In fact, that they will drag
you out from under ladders and won't
let you walk on the other side of hy-
drants. Then they act as though
they'd saved you from great calamity.
Sometimes it's hard to take. But If
they are your best friends there's just
one thing to do. That Is, to grin and
oct Is though you really thought you'd
been saved from great calamity. At
least, act 1t for the moment.
Later you can take up the cudgels
and try to argue them out Of it. If ar
guing has no effect-and it seldom
does-then the best thing to do is to
think up . nice bunch Of counter su-
perstitions yourself. When your pal
yanks you out from under . ladder,
lust look at her with a horrifled ex-
preston and say, "But it's good luck
for me to 60 under. When I 60 around
the outside Of . ladder I always catch
cold" Your friend will look at you
with new admiration. And you'll be
free to 60 your own way. That's cer-
taintly worth tall story or two.
