BY HELEN VOGT.

Amid the jeers and sneers of our
fellow workers, we still maintain
that we have the Christmas spirit.
And no wonder! If you have been
In any of the shops lately, you are
no doubt just as impressed as we
are with the lovely gifts to be found.
So, now that our Thanksgiving
feast is safely over, it's time to turn
to the next holiday. This year the
manufacturers of beauty products
are especially Christmas minded,
and the suggestions along the way
of beauty are something to delight
the most harassed shopper. OF
course, not all the lines have dis
played their products so far, but of
the ones we've seen, there are q
number of tempting items.
For instance, there is a we'll
known firm that has really outdone
themselves They offer several
products in the moderate price
range that will be enthusiastically
welcomed by the fair sex. Out
standing are their Christmas tree
ornaments-four types in all. They
have white wreaths with three bot
ties of perfume representing cam
dies, a fat Santa Claus perched
jauntily on bottle of cologne, car
oilers holding perfume candles, and
a tiny white angel clutching the
same object. All are very moderate
in price and we can't think of any,
thing more attractive to hang on
the Christmas tree-or for that mat
ter to give as separate gifts. You'll
find a great deal of pleasure in
giving or receiving these items.
Another very well known manu-
facturer has given us several splen-
did suggestions. Among the most
interesting of this holiday line is
the sachet done in bright red bell
decorated with a Sprig OF holly.
Perfect as an inexpensive gift and
ideal to hang in the cupboard, where
it delightfully."- scents your clothes.
Another gift from the same firm is
the huge cake of soap done in the
form of a crown and beautifully
packaged in a cellophane box. They
also offer for the first time, tiny
Christmas bell containing a small
bottle of perfume-a good thing to
know, for formerly these bells could
be secured only in the very ex-
pensive sizes. All these items are
amazingly inexpensiveeand very at
tractive.
One of the most attractive prod
ucts recently introduced is the f1acon
of perfume done in gold-plated or
f1lagree case. The case is round
no bigger than a silver dollar-and
opens to disclose a very generous
supply of perfume. A variation by
the same firm is the bottle of per-
fume In case upon which is hung
g. charm. The charm, round,
gold-plated locket, contains cotton
scented with the perfume, which
lasts an amazing length of time.
While you are enjoying the bottle
of perfume you can also be wearing
the charm on your favorite bracelet.
We were very much impressed
with the new kit introduced by
Well-known brand of cosmetics.
This kit contains all the essentials

to you, here's how to go about pre-
pairing it:
Hang the rabbit by its hind legs,
and with sharp knife or shears
slit the skin around the first joint
of the hind legs. Continue Sitting
skin along the underside of the legs
and across the rabbits rear. Keep
dipping your fingers in baking soda
frequently, to make the work easier.
Loosen the skin from the legs and
around the tail, severing the cord,
and pull the skin down in reverse
and over the head. Un other words,
do lust what your mother used to
tell you when she wanted to take
off your tight sweater-"skln the
rabbit!') Slip out the forelegs, then
cut off head, skin and hind feet.
(Yes, I know it sounds awful-but
there it isl Lay the rabbit on a
table and slit down the front to
remove the entrails; be very careful
not to break the gall bladder. Heart
and liver may be washed thoroughly
and cooked like poultry giblets.
Wash rabbit well, inside and out
side, with acidulated water, using
one tablespoon vinegar to each cup
of water. Now your rabbit is ready
for cooking-but be sure the meat
is pink and firm and free from
any suggestion of strong or musty
odor.
For jugged rabbit you will need
one rabbit (or two small ones, veal
forcemeat, ~ pints meat stock or
bouillon, l onion stuck with cloves,
tablespoons butter, Il cup flour,
/ cup red wine, lemon juice, parsley,
thyme, bay leaf, salt, pepper and
red currant jelly.
Joint the rabbit and brown the
joints in butter, seasoning we'll with
salt and pepper. Place them in a
stewpan, adding the onion, the lemon
Juice, herbs and one glass of wine.
Add the warm stock and season with
more salt and pepper. Cover closely
and cook in a moderate oven for
three hours. Half an hour before
serving thicken the sauce by adding
a little butter and flour worked to
smooth paste and add the other
glass of wine.

A girl asks: Is it better to marry
the man you prefer or the life you
prefer? It depends upon the in
dividual taste of the woman and
whether she bankers more for ro-
nance or the feshpots. Much is
to be said on both sides of the
question, but if a girl is an incur
able sentimentahst, love is her dish.
Her sweet tooth will always water
for lollypops. She will always crave
pie rather than roast beef. No
matter how good and kind her hus-
band is, nor what luxuries he Law
ishes upon her, she will be unhappy
and dissatisfied unless he is her
hearts desire.
Such women must pick out their
mates with their hearts instead
of their heads, because their emo
tions are all that count with them.
1t is folly for them to marry for
money, or position, or because a
man is sober, industrious and re-
liable and could be relied upon to
be good provider and not run of
after blond goddesses.
And it is worse than folly, 1t is
downright idiocy, for man to think
that he could ever marry woman
of the goo-goo type and win her by
making a doormat of himself for
her to trample on or buy here affec-
tions with matched pearl necklaces.
It can't be done. She must see the
man she marries as the fairy prince
of her dreams, or else matrimony is
cinders, ashes and dust.
Very often a poor girl gets tired
of poverty and pinching and count
ing pennies and decides she will
marry a man who can give her
charge accounts at the best shops
instead of the lad who makes her
heart go pit-a-pat every time he
looks at her. She reasons that ro-
nance is f1eeting, but home on
the avenue is q permanent asset,
and that she can get just as much
thrill out of the love-making of q
husband who says it with cash as
she could out of one who quoted
poetry to her. And she expects to
be happier as Mrs. Millionbucks, rid
ing in her limousine, than she would
be Mrs. Poorman, pushing her own
baby carriage.
But it seldom works out that way.
Our wishes have q way of turning
into boomerangs that annihilate us.
Only too often we find that the
thing we sold our souls for we don't
want after we get it. Lobster New
burg and champagne cease to be
treats when we have them every
day. Fine clothes and jewels get
to be burden when we have too
many of them. Parties are chore
when they are q part of the daily
grind. So the woman who Graves
love and who marries without 1t in
order to get the kind Of life she
prefers dnds that shs has fallen

tractive package. The top opens to
disclose mirror which stands up to
form miniature dressing table, and
the whole case is done in fabric
which resembles fine leather. 1t
should make a really luxurious gift.
Also along the line of beauty are
the new compacts of leather which
has been treated to retain ink
These compacts are most
and wonderful for collecting sigma
lures of your friends or favorite
celebrities. If you select one of
these for a Christmas gift it might
be novel idea to inscribe it to suit

much more original, but equally as

little Christmas trees with bottles of
perfume hanging from the branches.
There are two types-one is in the
more expensive range and has ador-
able little flacons hanging from
limbs that boast tiny electric bulbs.
Quite the most attractive thing
we've seen-and should make hit
with any woman. The other is def
initely in the low-price range and
comprises tiny tree with bottles of
perfume-either four or eight bot
ties, depending on the size of the
tree. The former tree is, of course,
gift for the favorite girl; the lat
ter an excellent table ornament,
favor or small gift.
We always maintain that we like
things we're not apt to buy for our
selves i. They seem to make the
most delightful gifts.

|Truthfully
Always
No Affection Lost
When You Admit
You Don't Know
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Nobody knows the right answer
to most of the questions life poses.
Nobody knows much about any
thing. The greatest scholar, the
wisest among us, knows his one
field, and mighy little Of that
when the magnitude of any field
of study is considered. Then why
cannot people just say, II don't
know" and be done with it, when
children ask questions that they
cannot answer? Any child, the
veriest simpleton and the greatest
wizard among them, can ask a
question that nobody on earth is
prepared to answer. The thing to
do is to say so.
All children ask questions. Some
times these are intelligent questions,
the result of thought Sometimes
they are way of winning attention,
OF passing time, of distracting at
tentlon from the questioner's be-
havior. One must consider the child
and his mood, in dealing with his
questions.
Jackie knows that bedtime is
coming on fast and will overtake
him in a few minutes. He spars
for time. Daddy, what makes the
lamp burn?"
ELECTRICITY"
What is electricity?"
"A force of nature that nobody
understands"
Doesn't God understand it?"
Eyes. He made it,
Then why doesn't He explain it
to you?"
Because He does not think it
wise to do so. I must find the
answer my myself if I want to know
it. That's the best way to answer
questions. And it is your bedtime.
Hurry along now and get ready.
Your mother is waiting.
But daddy"
of with you. I don't know any
more about electricity than you dc
and you're only wasting your time.
Good night
1t is easy to recognize the earn
est question, the one that expert
ence or need has brought to the
child's mind. If one must say,
Il don't know" to a question about
the Diesel engine, one can also say,
But we can get some information
on it from the library, and I'll ask
the engineer in our Office to talk
to you about it. He knows because
he works with engines. I never
had anything to do with machinery
in my life" That will set things
right.
Questions to which one does know
the answers should be answered
as fully and as honestly as ones
knowledge allows. Hedging won't
do because it makes the child feel
that there is something to hide, or
that one is unfriendly and disoblig-
ing. Such questions as those con-
corning sex, religion, family finances,
family history, have to be answered
truthfully. Il don't know" does not
belong here Answer truthfully, and
as completely as the experience and
personal responsibility of the child
allows.
But when you don't know, say
so. Children lose no affection or
respect for people who confess
ignorance in honesty. They have
no regard for those who try to
cheat them, useless effort always.

The forcemeat balls, which are
traditionally served with jugged rab-
bit, are made with u pound lean
veal, chopped fine, mixed with a
pound Of chopped bacon, ~ table
spoons bread crumbs and seasoned
with mixed herbs, grated lemon rind,
salt and pepper. Bind mixture with
! or 2 eggs, shape into small balls
and fry in butter or other fat. Serve
these around the rabbit on the same
platter and pass the currant jelly
separately.
E. p. asks for a recipe for brussels
sprouts with chestnuts and one or
two others for preparing chestnuts
alone:
CHESTNUT BRUXELLES.
! quart brussels sprouts.
u pound large Spanish chestnuts.
" cup butter.
l tablespoon flour.
2 teaspoons sugar.
l teaspoon salt.
Pepper and paprika to taste.
l teaspoon finely minced parsley
Y teaspoon minced chives.
Cook the sprouts as usual in
rapidly boiling salted water until
tender. They should have been
soaked for about 10 minutes before
hand in cold water. Remove the
shells from the chestnuts by covering
them with boiling water and boiling
until skin and shell are easily re-
moved-about 20 minutes. Cover
shelled chestnuts with boiling salted
water and cook very gently until
water has evaporated and the chest
nuts are tender. Do not cook rap
idly because chestnuts should not
be broken. Brown two tablespoons
butter, add the sugar, stirring con-
stantly. Add the chestnuts and
cook until we'll Drowned. Heat two
tablespoons butter and one table
spoon flour. brown slightly. Add
one cup of the liquid in which
sprouts were cooked and the sea-
sonings and herbs and cook until
smooth. Add chestnuts and sprouts
to this mixture, heat through and
serve.
Another way is to place the plain
cooked sprouts and chestnuts in
alternate layers In a buttered baking
dish, dotting with butter and
sprinkling with salt and pepper,
until dish is full. Bake for 80
minutes in moderate oven, adding
a little water If necessary.
CHESTNUT PUREE.
Cook chestnuts in boiling salted
water and remove skins as above.
Cook again gently in salted boiling
water until tender Drain, put
through ricer and moisten with
scalded milk. Season well with salt
and pepper, beat hard until light
and fluffy. Serve in a vegetable
dish.
CHESTNUT STUFFING.

4 cup butter.
l teaspoon salt.
l egg.
l pint bread crumbs.
y teaspoon parsley, minced.
Turkey giblets, chopped fine after
cooking.
Shell the chestnuts after boiling
as above. Cook until tender in boil
ing salted water. Drain and pass

the ingredients. mix well, add sea-
sonings and giblets. Stuff chicken
or turkey with the mixture.

between the stools and that she has
neither.
On the other hand, there is an
entirely different kind of woman:
The hard headed, hard boiled, prac-
tical woman to whom the only things
that matter in life are the material
ones. She regards sentiment and
romance as attractive themes for
novels and motion picture scenarios,
but as something that girl should
not let influence her when she comes
to the serious business of picking out
q husband.
To her it is not a mans curly locks,
or his broad shoulders, or his kisses
that are important. It is what he
can give her. 1t Is whether he is a
go-getter or not. It is whether he
can give her the kind of life that
she wants.
It is perfectly safe for this type
of girl to marry a man with no
warmer feeling for him than just
respect and liking if he can give
her the luxuries she Graves. She
may not love him individually, but
she has a deathless passion for the
things he can give 'her. The ease
and comfort, the place in society,
the beautiful gowns and jewels, the
swanky cars, the travel. So long as
she has these she will be perfectly
happy and satisfied.
SO whether a girl should marry
the man she likes or the life she
likes depends upon her tempera-
ment. Before she makes her de-
cision she should look we'll into her
heart and try to see what is there
and whether she most desires love
or luxury.
It is certainly unfair for a woman
to marry a poor man and then be
peevish and fretful and reproach
him because she has to do her own
cooking and washing and baby
tending instead of rolling around
in splendor as rich women do.
It is equally unfair for a woman
to marry a man for his money and
then berate him because he isn't q
great lover and satisfy her craving
for romance by having affairs with
other men. When q woman makes
her choice between love and money
she should be good enough
sport to stick to it and play the
game. DOROTHY DIX.

refrain from getting a permanent.
Preserve its natural health so in
