Flying snowballs Is another game
for the early part Of the evening
It's an amusing combination Of

two teams on opposite sides of the
room and keep "snowballs" flying
between them-two or three at once,
Any player missing the ball or
failing to return it drops out and
pays a forfeit. The bali must stay
in the air. No dribbles or bounces!
Write amusing forfeits on slips OF
paper and have them drawn from

opera, a symphony concert or the
performance of some visiting artist
is an entirely new phase in gift
giving. 1t Is a generous gesture on
the part of few thinking people
and has met with warm apprecia-
ton.
Within the family circle, and even
among intimate friends, facials and
permanents are finding a place in
the Christmas gift category. Some
beauty shops sell nicely engraved
cards emitting the holder to q
series of shampoos or treatments.
Many women of modest means
would not buy anything of this
nature for themselves and in such
cases one of these certificates is a
welcome gift from daughter to
mother or from husband to wife.
Some of the large hotels are also
going ahead with the gift certificate
idea. Last year one New York es-
tablishment advertised "the per-
feet gift to yourself, family or
friends-a See New York gift Ger
tificate," covering several days en-
tertainment at an all-inclusive
price. The finest point in favor of
this plan is that the trip to the
big city, need not be squeezed in
at the Christmas season. The Ger
tificate is good till used.
BY means of such a present q
spinster aunt may play fairy god
mother to young niece or bach
elor girl with good job may treat
. schoolgirl sister in big way.

they're easy to handle. All the boss

First, it explains why women find
1t 50 hard to catch husbands. It
Is because men are not satisfied with
just one wife. They want 20 diff
ferent kinds of wives, but they
don't want to have to support a
harem. They want all these diff
ferent types of ladies consolidated
in one single human female. They
want wife who can double in
string and wind and play the drum
with their feet. Few women are
that versatile.
For, alas, it is only too sadly true
that it is not enough for any wom-
an to carry any line of standard
charms and virtues with which to
appeal to the tickle masculine fan
cy. Because, no matter what role
she essays, she Is damned If she
does and damned If she doesn't.
And so what is q poor girl to do?
No wonder SO many young women
quit wearing themselves out trying
to guess the insoluble riddle of
what men really like in women
and espouse careers instead of men.
For another thing, this frank es-
innate of his fellow men by a man
explains why so many women fail
to give satisfaction as wives. They
can't, because their husbands mar
ried them for one thing and then
expected them to be something else
as soon as the marriage ceremony
is over. A man marries girl be-
cause of her glamour, for instance,
and he expects her to turn into
good scrubwoman as soon as he gets
her home. Or he married q girl
because she was so quiet and do
mestic and he is dissatisfied with
her because she doesn't scintillate.
Or he marries a spender and be-
rates her because she isn't a penny
pincher.
The solution of the mystery seems
to be that men are still polygamous
at heart and 1t takes a wide va
riety of feminine talent to satisfy
them.

boards likes to have something to

A Wide Choice
Found in Shops.
If you are an expert cook and
baker, Christmas is the ideal time
to share this talent. If not, then
there is no lack of manufactured
products to choose from. 1t is sur
prising how many people are keen
on fruit cake, and plum pudding

a dozen or more little fellows. These
she wraps in gaily decorated paper
and distributes to group of friends
n vastly different circumstances,
out that has no bearing on the
popularity of these presents. A
plum pudding from Mrs. Blank is
something to be priced.
Excellent plum puddings can be
bought in the commercial market
and that goes for everything put up
IN tins, jars or boxes If you decide
TO give some of your own jellies or
pickles for Christmas, decorate the
tops with attractive stickers and do
the jars up in pretty paper. That
IS how the stores put them out now
Tin boxes, ornamented with flowers
or scenes, can be bought for very
little. Filled with homemade cookies
or candy they make gifts that never
tail to please.
And don't overlook the beautiful
baskets and boxes of fruit-luscious
hothouse grapes, juicy tangerines,
tempting tidbits from other lands.
These are always Telcome-and are
decorative as well as appetizing.

Dorothy Dix Says>>>
Man Expects at Least Twenty
Personalities in His Wife

Dear Miss Dix: Men are what
women marry. Men are divided
into three classes: Husbands, bach
elors and widowers. A bachelor is
a man whose mind is filled with
obStinacy and whose soul is filled
with suspicion. Husbands are of
three varieties: Prizes, surprises and
consolation prizes. Making a hus-
band out of a man Is one of the
highest arts known to civilization
1t requires science, patience, per-
sistence, faith, hope and charity
If woman f1atters a man she
frightens him to death. If she
doesn't. she bores him to extinc-
ton. If she permits him to make
love to her, he gets tired of her in
the end. And If she doesn't, he
gets tired of her in the beginning
If she believes all he tells her, he
thinks she Is foolish. And If she
doesn't, he thinks her q cynic. If
she wears gay colors, rouge, lip
stick and startling hat, he hesi-
tates to take her out. If she wears
a little brown turbin and a tailor
made suit, he takes her out and
Stares all evening at a woman in
gay colors who is painted up like
q barn door and wears a hat that
hits you in the eye. If a girl is
a good fellow and drinks and smokes
with a man, he says she is leading
him on to destruction. If she
doesn't, he calls her a fiat tire. II
a girl is clinging vine, he con-
siders her a nitwit And If she Is
modern and hard-boiled and able
to hold down a good job, he ac-
cuses her of having no heart. If
she is silly, he longs for an INTEL
lectual companion. And If she is
brilliant, he Graves playmate.
Most men are like worms in the
grass-they wriggle around a while,
then some chicken grabs them. So
what? G. w. A.

his sex is made by a man and it
should explain several things that
