Mr.. Horace, sitting opposite me-
I'm not asking you to tell-an I'M

Orchids Too inexpensive
For Women of Rio

NEW YORK. May 2O.-The women
OF Rio de Janeiro do not like to wear
orchids-orchids are too inexpensive
and plentiful in that city. Flowers
which are made of feathers and
which look real are much more pop
ular.
Men are partial to neckties of
snakeskin.
Pretty girls are eyed openly, but
not boldly, by the young men of
Rio, and the word formidable" is
their highest compliment for femi-
nine beauty. The word means not
only very nice, but extra nice, and
they pronounce it formidable"
These are observations of Miss
Loretto Shea, who has just returned
from South America.
Lizard, alligator and snake skins,
Miss Shea found often are used in
South America for collar and cuff
sets, belts, artificial flowers and even
coats. Most of the men in her
party brought back at least one
snakeskin necktie. Married men
travelling alone bought for their
wives at home the deep blue aqua
marines of Rio. These are famous
for their beauty and brillance.
Dressmakers, according to Miss
Shea, are plentiful in the larger
cities of South America. They copy
many of the styles shown in Amer
can movies and will make up a
stunning creation in as little as
three days
Fur coats are not needed in Rio,
but fur pieces are worn for style

dessert, which resembles q cream
whip and has the delicate green tint

Tiny cups Of coffee are served many
times a day and the residents of Rio
usually f1ll them half full of sugar.
There is very little drinking of alco-
holic beverages.
The conversation of Brazilians is
flowery and gracious and people

to say what an American would say

Rio has a law forbidding men to
appear in public without coats. Some
of the willy males of the city get
around it by wearing pajama coats,
sometimes over regular trousers,
more often over pajama trousers.
The night clubs of Rio are as at
tractive as any in New York, Miss
Shea says. In one the orchestra ap-
pears and disappears in a maze Of
mirrors. Another has three orches-
tras, one playing jazz and American
music, the second Argentine tangos
and the third typically Brazilian
songs and dances.

ORR SCATTERED FAMILIES

II seems to grow easier and easier
for families to break up and scatter
all over the country. Our people
realize that at such holidays as
Christmas and Thanksgiving. Where
formerly the old folks used to gather
a tribe of 20 to so around the old
family hearth. today you may hardly
get enough to fill an ordinary small
dinner table.
The greeting card from distant
sons and daughters and their fami-
lies is often the only thing life of the
Old family reunion.
The American people have always
been restless. They have had a
strong liking for change. When the
railroads covered the country, the
tendency to move was strengthened
Today when the restless young peo-
pie can buy an old car for SIS or
less. and start ON their travels. it is
still easier. Many people move when
they would do better to stay right
where they are.
There is an element of sadness in
this scattering of families. Elderly
parents look with regret over the
many miles of distance that separate
them from their loved ones. They
dream of some day when they shall
be reunited. AS a usual thing that
Gay never comes. The children make
friends and create work and busi-
ness ties in their new homes. If
they move again. it isn't usually
pack to the old home town.
If there is this element of sadness
IN modern life. our days are so busy
that few people have time for melan-
choly. If you are ever tempted to
fret because your children are all
ever the land, better find new Occu-
pations and diversions. The news
paper will keep your mind occupied.
and the shows and all the local en-
Lcrtainments give you plenty TO think
IF. There is comfort in the thought
that the young people are growing
IN power all the time. They should
y rite home often, for they are missed
u the old homes.

THE PEACE SPIRIT

The peace spirit, like charity, be-
gins at home. People think it strange
chat Europe is SO soon again torn
up by war. Yet some of these folks
r1ay not be able to keep the peace
with their neighbors. or even in their
own homes.
Some folks seem to get along with
almost everybody. They sail through
life comfortably, and they ruffie few
peoples fur. Their desire to be fair
is so obvious that people do not often
try to take advantage of them. Peo-
pie of course have to stand up for
their rights, and at times to fight
for them, Yet a person who makes
a special effort to get along through
this world without quarrels avoids
many rough places on which many
folks get severely jolted.

NO MONEY FOR CHRISTMASl

Says a friend. remarking ON the
Buy early for Christmas" cam
paign: "It is sure good idea fol-
people to buy early, if they can. But
the reason very many people do not
is that they have no ready money
They have TO scrimp and save to
buy their gifts. and it takes until
just before the holiday for many OF
them to do So"
The above statement is regret
tably true. Many folks who are up
against it find hands reaching out
for every dollar that comes to them.
Before they can get to the stores
with their money, some long overdue
creditor has asked for it.
Still. there are many folks who
would be just as hard up if Christ
mas was postponed until the 25th of
January or February. Too many dol
lars go for non-essentials. If they
would begin thinking of their Christ
mas money earlier in the year. they
would be able to join the comfort
able group of early buyers.

LOVELY CHRISTMAS

July Fourth is the country's mos
noisy holiday, Thanksgiving pro
vides for many the biggest eats. La
bor, Day probably sees the most out
door sports, but when it comes to
the question as to which holiday is
most beautiful, we shall give the vote
to Christmas.
From thousands of deep forests
and dark hillsides, men have been
gathering decorating material and
little trees to ornament homes and
churches. Their greenery transforms
bare walls to bowers of summer
charm. From the church altars
come the impassioned voices of Or
gan and choir and orchestra, telling
in the language of music story
which words are not eloquent
enough to fitly repeat.
In the homes the eyes of the chill
dren sparkle. and their feet dance
before the fairy sights. From mys-
terious sources the world pours its
treasures before them. Everything
that heart could wish is offered to
make them happy. The uncontrolled
glee and bubbling merriment OF
these little ones fills the heart of
age with happiness. .eN.s
The generous giving of Christmas
is perhaps it's loveliest aspect, a form
of charm that goes deeper than any
physical decoration. When people
give up their own desires and take
the money they need for their own
wants, and devote it to making some
enc else happier. there is a moral
beauty in that act which exceeds any
picture the artist can paint.
The care free happiness of this
lol ely day fingers long in the mind.
People forget their troubles. If the
outlook is dark, if people don't feel
we'll, Christmas comes with a new
inspiration. 1t tells. how the world is
not so dark as it looks to their dull
eyes. that beyond the clouds the sun
is still shining. that the world was
made for hope and happiness, and
that troubles are transient and will
pass away.
Milford chronicle., 1939-12-22
RULE OF CRUELTY

Recent wars have brought a ter
rible new development, the throwing
of bombs into cities and town:
where many of the civilian popula'
tion are wiped out. China and Spair
have seen many such scenes Of hor'
ror. The world shuddered when the
Polish cities were bombed last Sep.
tember. And now little Finland is
the latest victim.
In all of these cases, the armies
that order the bombing will probably
claim they are not attacking the civ
ilian population. but merely seeking
to destroy such military objectives
as airports and munition factories
and railroad functions.
When bombs are dropped out of
the air by planes moving at high
rates of speed, the flier can't usually
tell where they are going. Some
men get so hardened that they don't
seem to care. Anything to spread
death and terror and compel the enc
my to submit, seems to be the motto
of some fighters.
The United States government has
repeatedly protested against this
abuse of military power. There used
% be some chivalry in such conflict.
feeling that these horrors should
be restricted to the fighting armies,
and that it was unworthy of govern
ments to tolerate any attack on the
weak. The lust of conquest has ac-
quired a tremendous hold, and great
nations are taught to believe that
they can win prosperity and progress
only by armed force. and are taught
to do things which in former times
would not have been tolerated.
In the nations that do these cruel
anyone who protested would
he likely to find himself in some con-
Centration camp. The war makers
create a kind of prison house. in |
which those who do not accept their |
herce ideas are to be punished. |
Some day the world will place its
heavy foot on those who try to rule
he nations by cruelty.

CHRISTMAS CAROLERS

Modern custom has revived the
habit of the old time singers who
used to parade the streets on Christ
mas morning, singing the joyous It'd
ings of the birth of Christ. 1t is a
sweet and pretty sound that steals
in through your curtains, on that day
of days. 1t is a suggestion that
through the dullness and care of or
binary life. through the wearisome
monotony of tiresome routine, spir-
it of happiness comes to our doors.
which can bring sunshine on the
darkest days of shadow.
So if you are inclined to say some
bad words when the singers arouse
you from sleep, think better9of them.
Better go to the window and give
them a round of hearty applause.
And if you can go down stairs and fix
up some coffee and doughnuts for
them, it is still better.
