Your left hand should be above
the center and your right hand just
below the center, or in other words,
like the position of the hands on
clock at 1920. This position gives
you the best control-it enables you
to put your arms, shoulders and all
your strength into steering if you
have to.
A hand at the bottom of the wheel
has no power. Try it and see! With
today's good roads, many drivers
forget the Importance of gripping the
wheel correctly and let their hands
sort of lie in their laps while the cars
roll. But it's dangerous habit. A
tire can blow. In that case you've
got to fight the wheel, whereas if you
were in the right position, all you'd
need to do would be to tighten your
grip and ride it out.

RhinestoneS are beautifully adapt
able for pin watch designs, whether
done in simple heart-shaped pieces
or in more ornate versions for very
"dreSSy' occasions. However, the
pin watches are not restricted to

tiny gold tongs form some of the
most interesting ones. Also being

or heart shaped designs. You'll find
these paStel-colored, flower-deco-
rated types intriguing, for they look
like locket when worn with the
cloiSonne side out, the face of the
watch turned down.
Also among the most popular,
and one of the first to be intro
duced, is the round ball watch, open
on both front and back so that you
actually can see what makes it tick.
Some of these come on black silk
cords to be worn around the neck:
others are on fleur de lis pins, set
in the manner of grandmother old
watches.
Following the lapel watches in
favor are some of the more unusual
wrist types with distinctly novel

colled bands of gold with the watch
set into the end, like the head of
a snake. Wide, wide bands of gold,
forming very heavy bracelet, will
have a round dial perched on the
top, and bracelets often use watches
as charms dangling from them. The
luclte ice block is particularly
adaptable 10 this use, but We must
admit that any of the dangling

They make wonderful Christmas

start making arrangements for their
purchase. We can't think of any
thing more perfect for a fashion
conscious lady's gift. Don't worry,
either, if she already has a watch.
Undoubtedly she'll like owning
variety, particularly a costume piece
that's worn only now and then.

this and aid the doctor by weighing
her baby regularly and by keeping

right to demand further sacrifices
on my part. You have shirked your
responsibility to me. You have &C

you have let yourself get dull You
have eaten too much and got fat
and unattractive to look upon. You
have spent your time playing bridge
for so many years that you know
nothing else.
You have been faithful. but that
