Beauty Aids

By ELSIE PIERCE.

7 WOULD say that anything that
helps beauty along has very def
mite mission in life, and certainly =
definite place on the gift list.
Gentle reminders are entirely in
order. Mirrors. for instance, the full
length, or triple variety or the mag

come. Bathroom scales are fine-and
when given to one who is fine of

And a dressing table no longer says
"vanity-all is vanity" but instead

I don't know why beauty kits should
be the prize possession of travellers
only. Certainly the business woman
should have one in her desk, and
the woman in the home should have
one In or on her dressing table. The
kit may be nothing more than a paper
box in which all personal beauty
aids are assembled or it may be an
elaborate affair-one Of those luxu-
rious beauty kits with every little

to frou-frous, from cleanser to make
up, from powder pun to perfume all
together under the one house, and
some of the kits are IS big as house

with dressing table and ones beauty
aids all properly assembled in one

precious minutes. Then, too, it's all

whom believed ardently in Santa
Claus and expected us to produce q
Christmas, blizzard or no! So, with
q few memories of New England
childhood in the days when making
the tree decorations was part Of
Christmas, we started to make trim
ming out of the things at hand. We
popped corn and strung yards Of it.
There were no cranberries, but in the
sheltered spots in the canyons we
found red and yellow rose pips-the
seed pods of wild roses. They were
very effective in place of the cranber-
ries. Here and there We hung pendant
clusters Of blue cedar berries, white
mistletoe and some small red berries
similar to our bittersweet. In some
of our garlands of pop corn we strung
dried red chilli peppers and in place
of bright tinsel balls we had ears Of
Indian corn that was red, yellow, blue
and Of variegated colors. We made
lanterns to hold candles out of tiny tin
cans, with decorations punched in
them with various sized nails.
Nowadays we interpret our modern
way Of living in our Christmas deco
rations. II you have . big house full
Of children for Christmas there Is
nothing better than the old-fashioned
tree with lights and tinsel and bright
colored balls and candy canes. A new
idea, In case you have collection Of
figures and like to build . creche at
the foot Of your tree, Is to place the
whole thing on table with table-size
tree for the background. Illuminate
this with clever concealed lighting and
let 1t have the dominant place in the

supply Of food as an offering, the
princes brought money, and the great
ladies their jewels, to deck the tree.
1t was over three hundred years after
the birth OF Christ before the 25th
of December was chosen as the
day for the celebration of His birth.
Many Of the customs in use at that
time were transferred as part of this
celebration. In the succeeding years
Christmas has become the great cere-
mony that we all have in common,
and in our own country, where the
customs Of all nations are brought to-
gether, We have acquired part of the
Christmas of every other land
How long is it since you have had
q real, old-fashioned Christmas? Ten
years ago I lived in an isolated COM
munity in the West. All our plans
went awry, as We had dreadful bliz-
zard 10 days before Christmas, and
all the tree decorations which had
been ordered by mail were caught in

NEAR DOROTHY DIX-What Is q
young man to do who wants
to fall in love and can't do so? 1 am
lonesome and go about looking for a
girl with whom I can fall desperately
in love, but 1 can't find her. I am
not as yet able to marry and don't
want to marry just yet, anyway, but
I just want to be in love What is the
solution of my problem?
BAFFLED ROMEO.
Answer Time. Just wait a little
and you will find Juliet hanging over
her balcony and giving you the high
sign. There is nothing peculiar about
your case. You are just in love with
love and sloshing over with sentiment
that you are trying to spill on some
body. Most youngsters of your age
are in the same fix, but you are luckier
than many Of them. For you recog-
nize that you haven't found the girl
yet, and they mistake any girl who
happens along for the only one.
1nasmuch as you are not in a po-
sition to marry, you are fortunate not
to be in love. For there is many a
heartbreak in being crazy about a girl
and not being able to have her be-

ice to become hard. Turn out on
serving platter just before serving and
surround with smaller molds of cram
berry jelly. If the cumquat Jelly is
to be used as dessert, whipped cream
may be served with 1t.
TO GO back bit, here is the best
recipe for cucumb> jelly that I
have found. It is lovely to look at
and is the perfect accompaniment
to any cold fish, or for use in salads:
CUCUMBER JELLY.
2 large cucumbers.
Ia tablespoons gelatine.
l cup cold water.
Onion juice.
l tablespoon lemon juice.
Cayenne, salt, pepper.
Green vegetable coloring
Peel and slice the cucumbers, and
cook until soft, in one-half cup cold
water. Force the pulp through .
puree strainer. soak the gelatin in
the remaining one-half cup cold water
and add it to the cucumber pulp
with the lemon juice and seasonings.
Add a few drops green coloring mat
ter, until mixture is pale green.
Do not make it too deep AL shade.
Turn into mold and set to chill. If
desired, additional cucumbers may be
used as are the cumquats in the
foregoing recipe; peel, mark with a
fork down the sid~s, and slice paper
thin. Let shallow layer of gelatin
set, and proceed with cucumbers as
with the cumquats.

~ EAR MISS DIX: About two
years ago, when I was 20, I
went to board with a widow
who was at that time SO
years old. From the beginning she
seemed to fall In love with me. Gave
me the best of everything and showed
great preference for me over the other
boarders. made very small salary
and it wasn't long before I got in ar
rears in my board She said 1t made
no difference, offered me money, gave
me the use Of her automobile, bought
me clothes, etc. At first her attitude
was motherly, but that soon ceased.
Made me kiss her. take her on long
rides and so forth. Now she Is very
jealous. Reads my mail. Goes through
my pockets. Listens in whenever any
one phones me. Has fits Il go out
with girl. I am sick and tired of
being slave to woman old enough
to be my grandmother and I would
like to get away, but she has kept an
account Of every cent she spent on
me, and says that if I leave she will
tell my boss and cause me to lose my
job. II I stay will never get her
paid, for she finds ways of getting
me deeper and deeper in debt. How
can I get myself out of this mess?
GEORGE.
Answer-The only thing you can
do is just to get up and leave. Sum-
mon up your courage and make a
clean break with the old woman.
Defy her. Even if she does carry out
her threat to tell your employer and
it costs you your job, you will be bet
ter of than you are now
For you will have taken the first
step on the way toward regaining
your lost manhood and self-respect,
whereas II you let this despicable old
creature keep you cowed in submis-
sion you will sinh deeper and deeper
into the pit where she has dragged
you. At "a you are still young enough
to get fresh start and rebuild your
life, but If you continue, even for only
a year or two, to be parasite of an
old woman, your opportunity will have
passed you by. You will be eternally
sunk in your own opinion and below
contempt in the opinion of others.

If you live in small modern apart
ment or q smart town house you
might have a trim little stylized tree.
For this, use an artificial tree, or a
live one in a tub that is perfect in
shape, or clipped to look so. Get
sheer silver tinsel ribbon about five
inches wide, or yellow or red, of the
type that florists use to tie bouquets.
You will need many yards of it, but
it is very inexpensive. Start at the
top of the tree and tie a spanking big
bow on the top branch, then carry the
ends, one to right and one to the left,
and tie another bow on the next lower
branch on each side, cross the ribbons
and proceed as before to the base of
the tree. Place a large, round, colored
or silver ball under each bow. The
effectiveness of this decoration depends
on the conventional stylized way you
carry it out.
Another similar effect may be done
with yards of white cotton lace. Drape
the lace the same way as the ribbon,
gather 1t into a frill at the point of
each bough and fasten it with a silved
or bright-red bell or star. The lace
should be about five inches wide with
. coarse, emphatic design; usually the
most inexpensive that you can buy at
the five and ten" will be the starch
lest and best. This little tree has a
quaint old-fashioned effect in spite of
its modern primness.
A delightful dinner table tree may
be done this year with favors on it
for every one by decorating it with
tiny lights and the bright inexpensive
costume jewelry that is so fashion,
able. Select pin or clip or ring or
bracelet for every one at the table,
attach q tiny name card to each one
and decorate your tiny tree with them.
At the close Of dinner each one may
be presented.
Have you any troublesome problems
confronting you in the decoration or
furnishing Of your home? If 80, write
to Margaret NOVEL;, care Of the
Woman's Page of The Star, and your
question will be answered in her

SENATE MARKS
| TIME ON ANTI.
ILYNCHING BILL.

WASHINGTON, d. G. June A.
With a report on the Gavagan anti.
lynching bill slightly delayed due to
the long Memorial holiday weekend,
the Senate today was still marking
time on the measure, although it is
freely predicted that some action
will be taken this session.
It became apparent this week
that Congress will be in session un-
TIL after July 15 and some quarters
are predicting the session will last
until mid-August. The Presidents
supreme court bill has been with
drawn temporarily, thus clearing
the way for action on other legis-
lation including the anti-lynching
bill. With the court bill out of the
way and with no chance Of early
adjournment the chances for the
ants lynching bill are regarded as
improved.
II is expected that it will be fav-
orably reported within a few days
