Even with the most marvelous gift or
all, love, they wonder and hesitate and,
slt were, try to value It.
And one of their usual attempts Is to
find a way by which they may put the
love they have been slven to a test.

which Is the only real nnd nllowable one.

Wicked test that could but gratify her

And her reward was deserved; she re
ceived the glove, but lost the lover.
"Not love." quoth he. "but vanity, sets
love a task like this."
So let no girl set tests for her lover.

order of life and fate. They, alone, are

MODES OF THE HOUR
FOR THE BRIDGE TABLE
A Christmas Suggestion
The newest '-covers for the bridge table
make a very appropriate suggestion for
the girl who plays cards a great deal.
It often happens that this kind -of a girl
Wouldn't take the time to do these things
for herself, but would greatly appreciate
them as a gift. Svery, woman likes her
tatles to look dainty anS clean when
Bli-entertains, whether It Is a large or
a small number of guests.
Lightweight tah or white linen may
bo used. The white looks prettier, per
haps, but you will save washing, of
course, by using tho tan. Fit the linen
to the top of the table, cutting out the
comers so that It will bo perfectly smooth.
A' cloth which ruffles up when ono Is
dealing or cutting the cards' Is a common
. nuisance. You can either button or
snap-fasten the edges. Tho strings are
ept to get caught In the table. If It is one
o! the folding .kind. When this happens
they are ripped away from the cloth,
.arid spoil your cover entirely.
You can also sew the drop Bides to
gether and slip them down over the
table. It holds the cover taut and looks
us well,
"When your cover Is complete, and you
find you have any large pieces of mate
rial left over, the neatest way to utilize
them is to make patch-pockets. These
are attached to one of the drop Bides of
the cover, and cat-stitched around the
edges. Tbu will And It most useful to
keep your tally cards, pad, pencils, etc..
In. A few extra pencils are almost al
ways necessary anyway.
Anomer wea, tnougn not particularly
where It is necessary to number cacii
table, tho hostesa often had much con
fusion in pointing out the numbers.
These had to be written on the score
pads or calendar letters were placed on
the table. Often people moving about
would disturb these and tho stationary,

Slender or "Skinny"?
It Is all very well to be slim, but It
Is not at nil well to be "skinny." That
ugly term Just suits a very ugly condition
of tho body, and It Is one every natural
girl would avoid.
So, least sllmness degenerate Into skln
nlness, remember these few hints.
Don't walk to excess; over-land walks
reduce one rapidly.
Don't stay up late at night; get at
least nine hours good sleep. Sleep keeps
one In excellent condition and Is a beautl-
jier. uoni lorgot mat a well-rounded
figure makes one look younger and Is
considered a beauty.
Don't accentuate vour thinm tu. ,,-
Ing diagonal stripes, especially If you
are also tall. '
Don't wear a very large broad-brimmed
hat; a thin girl usually has a small face,
which looks its worst under a very big
hat.
i?,'1 'al1 Iook ,la'my: that Is not
a difficult matter for a slender girl, who
should have everything about her scrupu-
.- .j "-" "'" uucrumpiea, and delight
and
narrow bands of fur.
The Parisian style creators seem tu
have been unanimous In deciding that
the evening gown should .be sleeveless.
That Is to say, the evening gown for for
mal wear; the gown for the homo or for
semi-dress occasions not only has sleeves,
but they aro quite likely to come to tho
wrist ln tho moUBquetalre manner.
Tho frock sketched today Is made of
rose chiffon, the vivid shade that Is ere
atlng a furore this season. The skirt
boasts six ruffles, set one above the
other. It Is practically a repUca of the
skirts worn two generation ago, minus
the extension of the hoop skirt.
Knch rufllu shows the Belvedere, an ex
travagance If the frock were made at
home; no doubt a dressmaker would find
use for the width between the outer
edges.
Ruffles fall Into more graceful folds
when they aro not hemmod, even In a
material as sheer as chiffon, and the na
tural edge Is now recognized as a much
more artistic finish than stitches of tho
finest could possible make.
The girdle bodice is draped and the
fnstenlng concealed In the folds of the
chiffon. Then comes a wide band of
kolinsky, topped by a band of rosebuds
mai repent tho color note of the dress
proper. The fur shoulder straps are
about half tho width of the band that out
lines the bust.
Substituting a less expensive fur than
kolinsky, and there aro several that aro
very enecuve and that cost very little,
the pictured frock Is, one that could be
made at home at a reasonable figure.
By cutting the fur In half. In order to
make the shoulder straps, something less
than two yards would be ennucrh for n
person of medium size.
Chiffon comes In different widths nnd
the amount requires: Would depend on tho
quality purchased for the frock. An
estimate could bo made quite easily by
deciding oh the depth of the ruffles and
doing n simple sum In mathematics.
Any one who can make chiffon rose
buds might use her skill here to ad
vantage, nnd save the expense of artificial
nowr!t A rosebud on each satin simper
would be "nice," as the artists say. It is
a word that casts a chill on tho layman
inclined to the uso of tho superlative In
adverbs nnd adjectives, but thero Is no
word In the artist's vocabulary that
signifies greater approval.
A trimming noto that Is repeated some
where Is good art and worth the con

Babies and Prickly Heat
If your baby has what Is called prickly
heat try to get rid of It as soon ns you
cnn, because It Is very painful nnd Is
likely to spread. It nppcars as a flno
red rash, which stings, prickles and
burns, causing Intense uneasiness to a
child.
The best treatment Is to keep the baby
as cool as possible. l,ct his clothe hs
few, and of the very lightest material.
If you have uniform heat, you can take
all the baby's clothes off and let him He
on a warm blanket for a few hours. He
will not tako cold If you keep tho room
fairly warm the whole time, but bo euro
that your heat remains tho same.
Two sponglngs of ten minutes dally,
using a teaspoonful of baking soda to a.
pint of cool water nnd vinegar (half and
half), or starch nnd water (half a cupful
to a tub of water) Is also good. Any of
theso is soothing to the child's tender
skin. Ono Important thing overy amateur
nurse should remember Is never to use
soap on a. child who has prickly heat.
The bottle baby's food should have
sugar reduced to a minimum. As soon
as sugar is omitted from the baby's dlot
many mysterious skin troubles disappear
entirely.
In Japan
It Is nice to know In theso days of lost
reputations that Oriental hospitality, nt
any rate, shows no signs of decadence.
A correspondent has como across tho fol-'
lowing announcement ln a tailor's shop
In Toklo:
"Respectable ladles and gentlemen may
come here to hava fits."
Rlr 1iiin,1,o,1 anA fntv.twr millions Of
dollars are spent every year lit the United
States nlono for food that Is not required
by tho body. And at least Ji3.000,000 are
spent to cet rid of It airaln. This does not
Include doctors' fees, undertakers' charges
nor tho loss of time from business.
We owe the existence of these comfort
ing statistics partly to our own desire to
bo regarded as a nation of "high livers,"
partly to tho old-fashioned housewife
whoso pride It has always been to see her
table groaning' under the weight of the
good things she has provided; but most of
all to the chef.
There aro many varieties of the genus
chef. The species originated In France,
the home of epicures; but we have In this
country a flourishing crop of cooking
teachers, manufacturers of fancy recipes
nnd Imaginative builders of menus, all of
whom have done their earnest best to
educate our patates and ruin our diges
tions. Because the American chef, whether
male or female, needs a wide field for tho
exercise of his or hor genius, our meats
have grown "In length and elaborateness
until a modern, conventional menu re
minds us somewhat of the sort of thing
that was regarded as a square meal in
ancient Itomo.

Influenced our national taste thnt ths
average person who enters a restaurant
feels It necessary to order numerous nttd
rich viands so as to prove himself ft
gentleman. He knows that the waiter
who stands behind his chair reckons him
up by the sire of his order nnd that the
amount of attention he receives is meas
ured by the length of his bill.
This chef attitude toward food Is like
wise responsible for tho phrase, "They
ien a irooii table." so frequently heard
when the merits of a hotel or boarding
house are discussed. This when trans
lated means that dinner starts with an
appetizer, Is followed by a soup, trimmed
with an entree, built upon a roast and
four vegetables, nmnllflcd by a salad nnd
finished with a couple of desserts, bluok
coffee, raisins, nuts and mints. Some
day an ode will be written to the chef
who planned tho graveyards nnd supplied
the doctors' fees.

thing we have Just quoted from tho fine
cook book The elaborate menu Illus
trates the art of dinner giving; tho sim

that crude ostentation Is giving Way to
good taste, that henlth and the power to
work Is coming to be regarded as of rmjre

"The humanity at America in this hour of
European shipwreck," someone -said the other day,
"is the one last lighthouse of civilization still
burning."
It is the one single beautiful thing standing out
clear and white and perfect against the horrible
phantasmagoria of bloodshed, of disease, of destruc
tion and of starvation that fills up the whole back
ground of the world's picture of today.
But the Work Is Going on Too Slowly
V It Must Go Faster
A very large sum of money is yet needed before
the Norwegian steamship "Orn," now already
waiting in the Delaware Eiver, can sail as Philadel
phia's Thanksgiving Ship to the Starving Belgians.
A great cargo of food must be bought and paid
before the ship can sail. .
Every day her sailing is delayed is a day more
of hunger. .for thousands on. the stricken fields of
Glanders;
...,
It Is Only the American People Who Can
Help These People Across the Sea
Practically every other nation in the world is in
some way debarred or has exhausted its resources.
It only needs the appeal of nien, womeji and
children, hungry in the blasts of Winder, to stir the
generosity of Philadelphia to load up this ship and
let her go on her way.
Who will come forward with new-contributions
today?
Who will give a few cents to save a child from
starvation?
m The Committee's Headquarters will remain open
in the Lincoln Building, at Broad Street and South'
Penn Square. Leave money here or' notify by tele
