HINT FOR NEW HOBBY

The apartment dweller need no longer envy the neat gardens of his suburban friends; chemistry gar- dening offers him opportunity to grow attractive plants with a mini mum of care and space. One manu- facturer, designs special prepara- tions for this new method-special containerd, silicate and chemicals
 The container is divided into two sections-the upper to hold the silicate into which the plant or seed is planted, and the lower compart- ment which contains water and chemicals. Practically the only at- tention required is to renew the liquid solution about once in two or three weeks. The containers arc molded in attractive shapes of glaz- ed earthenware in charming colors.

- RAISING A FAMILY - Most Children Like Toys Keyed To Their Hobbies

tastes will be rather a good guide. So start them on hobbies you think they'll take to.
 The stamp collector usually gets something dear to his heart, because he knows what to request, and oth- CTS know 1t, too. The athlete gets his baseball outfit, his racket, foot ball, or gym exerciser, because he has advertised for 1t. But other children might like to begin. Jim may love a punching bag; Joe, some Indian clubs; Bessie, pair of tap shoes. You see, Christmas might be a turning point to new and satisfy ing things ahead.
 Listen to the suggestions of your children, but don't forget, either, that something untried and differ ent may be the keynote to future ambitions and many happy hours.

People like to be fooled-so take 'em up on itl
 You'll have o grand time at par- ties-doing mystifying tricks with such objects as coins, tumblers, cards and cigarettes. And it's much, much easier than 1t looks.

 Then you blow sharply on the rim of the cup containing the egg, and whoosh! into the other cup Elsie flies. Pocket her, and when a spec- tator wants to try his skill, produce an egg. It won't budge. WhyP We'll, maybe you can guess from this clue. Eggs differ-especially with a little help from you!

Rate an A-plus in your "home- work" by wearing this smart frock about your daily tasks. For seldom has housedress been designed with such flattering perfection of line and style. Claire Tilden's Pattern $50 consists of just three pattern parts, excluding the sleeves and the collar. Both the back and front be- dices form one piece with the cen- ter skirt panels, with no waistline seams to interrupt the becoming lines. The graceful curve of the seams at your hips makes you look oh so slim. And the side sections of the skirt are made in single, seam- less pieces too, cut on the bias for

A protective foundation prepara- tion - preferably waterproof-is number one on the list of cos metics the winter vacationist needs. Whether she is going south to lie in the sun or north to skate and ski, a cream or lotion to protect her skin from sunburn or wind burn and to make powder stay on for hours is all important.
 The waterproof foundations will appeal to the swimming enthusiast. The family oily lotions which give the complexion a moist, dewey ap- pearance are ideal for dry skin. And they do tend to prevent wind- burn. For oily skins, practically greaseless foundations in stick form are quite satisfactory.
