No matter how fond the mod
ern woman is of the traditional
periods in furniture she lives in
the present and can't escape ex-
pressing her contemporary inter-
ests in her home. She chooses
modern colors for her draperies
and rugs. She accents her rooms
with modern accessories. She
experiments with new ideas,
combining them with the best
of the old to create a back
ground which reflects her per-
sonality.
Because a dining room should
be gay and stimulating rather
than restful and quieting, this

Chic Bibelots

Mrs. Cooper, Just back from
Paris, is a smart sponsor of
Suzy's favorite tortoise yellow
in a costume that includes a
slim wool frock (high and round
of neck) and a velvet chapeau
with the new-looking shirred
brim swathed with yards and
yards of yellow yelling. With
this vibrant toned "get-up," she
sports a "greatcoat" of nutria
that's broad-shouldered and has
huge patch pockets. On the
fourth finger of Mrs. Coopers
left hand is the most unusual
ring we've seen this Season-a
miniature Chinese hat flashed
round and round with baguette
diamonds.
Mrs. Foy, always one of May
fairs "beSt-dressed" figures, re-
ceives a few intimate friends
for tea in the most outstanding
hostess pajama costume of the
year. The black velvet un-
cuffed "trou" fits to perfection,
and faStens on to a bodice that
hugs the neck in front and has
a low back decolletage. She
adds a tiny bolero that's a gilt
tering mass of sequins, and toe
less, heellesS black sandals 60 to
her pedal extremities.

soft furs with full nap are more
flattering when the makeup is
not too stressed. The ivory tone
is always correct with black, but
the lipStick may be brilliant for
all furs. Eye makeup is neces-
Sary and one can wear the
shadow even in daytime makeup.
For mink and brown furs the
foundation and powder MAJ be
a deeper shade than the ivory.
Any of the new warm tones will
be flattering. This darker tone
will call for one of the blue-red
rougeS and lipstick.
Gray furS, however, demand a
lot of color no matter what your
own natural coloring may be.
You must wear a definite
makeup with all gray or you will
look pale and uninteresting. If
you are one of those girls who
never wear cheek rouge, then
don't wear gray. A warm, dark
toned foundation and powder
will always enhance the beauty
of gray.

0NE of the speakers at a
" recent fashion show told
the audience she could tell a
woman'S character by the furS
she selected. Well, this speaker
may have her gifted second
sight in this matter, but we find
from our observation, the aver
age girl picks her furs accord
ing to the occasion, and most of
all according to her allowance.
Every girl adores all kinds of
furs, and from her infancy,
when she wore the fuzzy little
white coats and bonnetS, she
knows there is nothing quite so
flattering to the face and figure
as rich soft fur. She will wear
any and all of the good furs
she can afford.
When we can afford to select
our furS to suit our personality,
we keep in mind the occasion
for which it is to be used. For
instance, we will not select a
delicate chinchilla, mink or
ermine for sports wear when
the appropriate ones would be
Hudson seal, leopard, beaver, or
one of the more sturdy peltS.
But the girl who must depend
on only one fur coat for all occa-

Liar
Traps
Himself
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

~ SSSSSS SSSs
Famous Authority on Prob
lens of Love and Marriage
Unlike the philanderer,
~ who is born and not
made, the liar is a made prod
uct. Fear is the chemical
chiefly responsible for him
or, indeed, her. Ladies are
quite as proficient, or even
more so, at the art Of pre-
varication, as men.
The liar is more often than
not, a weakling who objects to
coming out and facing the
music. It's so much easier to in
vent an alibi. At least, it seems
easier at the time, than being
caught. Not all liars, however,
have the imagination, talent
and skill to put through a good
lie. Professional liars are adept
at the art. The amateur found
ers about and convicts himself.
We're talking about the syn
thetic liar, the recipe for which
is about one-fourth fear, one
fourth the dislike of causing
pain, one-fourth the desire to
escape sn awkward situation,
and the last fourth, coVardice.
Liar Avoids
Scenes
Bitter exerience has taught
the liar to avoid scenes. So. if
he happens to meet an old sweet
heart, downtown, and has had
the urge to invite her to lunch,
he has his little lie all ready
when he calls on his best girl.
First, he describes his bore
dom at the date he has had
thrust upon him. The boss
niece, or the boss wife's cousin
came to town, and the boss
didn't want to be bothered TAX
ing her out. so he parked
her on me, and she sure was a
bore. Ought to get a raise in
salary for having to do a chore
like that. She made me think
about you, darling, because she
had none Of your beauty,
sweetness, or jolly sense of
humor, etc. etc. etc."
The liar is apt to build too
many stories for the founda-
ton, and ruin the structure. A
girl with grain of sense will
not believe him.
Could Have
SoUed Himself
How much more easily could
he have saved his skin if he
had had the courage to come
out and say To-day ran into
Marge Jones; we used to be in
high school together, and saw a
good deal of each other then.
So I asked her to lunch. I'd
like to have you meet Marge
some time"
The sweetheart, probably not
without touch of the green
eyed monster, feels that she'd
rather meet Satan himself than
Marge. Still, she has to admire
her young mans courage in
telling the truth. And he's re-
moved the danger from any
chance remarks dropped by
friends who happened to have
seen him lunching with the old
girl
There's another class of liar,
whose affliction is mental. This
individual can't tell the truth
about anything-the day of the
week, the weather, whether or
not hens have teeth, or anything
else that is self-evident. His lies
are the result of a brain quirk.
They're dangerous folk to get
tied up with.

4 was al. Dr. Dafoe
ways Santa Claus. Then a few
days later they had another
Christmas celebration. This
meant that by the time Decem-
ber 25 came along they were
somewhat bewildered by it all.
HdUe Quiet
Christmas
This Christmas we decided
that there would be no such dis
turbanceS. They had just had
their tonsils removed, and, any,
way, we thought we would let
them have a quiet Christmas.
The children have been eagerly
looking forward to this Christ
mas. They have all written let
tiers to Santa asking him to be
good to papa and mama and
all the other members of the
family. In fact, I think they
even suggested to him that he
remember me, too.
Tonight they will 60 to
bed after they have hung up
their stockings~they insisted on
hanging up stockings for the
rest of the family as we'll. Then
each one will write little note
to father and mother, wishing
them a happy Christmas and
signing her own name.
No Outsiders
AlloWed
This is one day when no out
SiderS will be allowed in the
nursery to spoil the Christmas.
The whole family will be to-
gether a great part of the day,
and even their physician won't
interrupt this gathering-that
is, unless someone eats too much
and gets sick.
I know they will be up early in
the morning, eagerly scanning
the parcels on the big tree, but
they are not allowed to open
any of them until the whole
family arrives from across the
road.
On this day I think I may re-
lent as far as the Quints are
concerned and let them have
some candy or some ice cream.
I think I'll give them their
choice of these two. They have
had ice cream often, and hope
they choose it. But since they've
never had candy, I'm afraid
they may want to try it.
Biggest Turkey
EUer Seen
1t will be quite a festive board
when the family all sits down
at one table. There will be the
QuintS, father and mother, and
the seven other children. 1 wish
you could see the huge turkey
we got for the occasion. It's the
biggest one I ever saw.
The family are due to come
to the nursery about nine
O'Clock. All will go to church,
of course. and after presents are
opened, the turkey and fixin'
will be brought in around noon.
At 1890 the children are sched-
uled to have a sleep, but sup
pose, this schedule will be
a little more elastic than usual.
After two-thirty, when the
QuintS are awake again, I
imagine their brothers and sis
ters will come over for another
romp around the nursery and
play yard. At $50 supper will be
served, only this meal goes back
to regular food. The QuintS
have had their blowout at noon
there won't be any trimmings
at this meal.
