WHEN THE PLAIN TRUTH
BREAKS UP FRIENDSHIPS
An Excessive Passion for Plain-Speaking Always
Brings Unpopularity to the Person Who Practises

very nature of things
that truth and friend

clear realization that

Thlr cxcessslvo passion for plnln

and one little calculated to ndoin nny

It Is Unfortunate not merely for herself,
but also for others, that her line of

find a shade depressing.
If you wnnt admiration for n new hnl,

4 obvious disbelief In her tones, "Are you.

herself, but of dragging It out from other
people, no matter how displeasing It may
happen to be.

17 SHOPPING DAYS LEFT
tnrlmllnjr today there are only 17 hop

Thrr Is onlv one problem more dif

Hut thnt latter problem does not matter

who have no money nrc going to ho free

hnve money and don't know what to buy
with It who hnve to worry nnd have their

There Is a curious old legend Hint once
upon n time, many thousands of years

to whom he wns not engaged to be mar

Christmas Hints
I A collapslblo pair of bedroom slippers
1 Is a very useful suggestion for the mnn
I or woman who does a lot of traveling.
I They are useful In most cases, in fact.
I Mnny of the slippers nrc so soft and
, pliable that they may be crushed Into n
i tlnv packnge. smnll enough for nn over

l iitca are rclirci-enteil bright red, tan.
b'nek In shiny and dull finish. Thu price
1b tl 'P. nccordlng to size.
A compact little shopping notebook for
milady's handbag Is n welcome remem-
ibrance. It hnidly assumes tho prof
Hon. of a real gift. This Is flat. like
ropor-
an
envelope, with a small pad and pencil
nttnehed, and comes In plnln black
leather at 23 cents.
Another useful novelty In leather goods
Is n stickpin nnd cuff links ense. Thcso
nro lust compnet enough to slip In the
.suitcase nnd have compartments for se
curing the stickpin so It can't work loose.
The price Is JI.50.
A man's manicuring utensils are usually
few nnd far between, and they must look
very mnscullne. The latest case is
shaped like mi ordinary wallet, with two
compartments, one for the Hie and scis
sors, court plaster und tiny comb and
another for a magnifying Blmvlng mirror.
The price Is 11.50.
Bayberry Candles
Hdltor of the Woman's Page;
Dear Madam Will jou please print In
your evening paper the directions for
making cnndles from bayberriesT Wo
havo collected n quantity of the berries,
nnd I wish to make candles for Christmas.
Your kindness Is appreciated.
M. It. S.
Here are the directions, as given by
nn export: After having gathered the
berries, put them In cold water, using
plenty of water, until they come to a boll.
Then let them boil for thrce-quniters of
an hour more. Set out quickly In the cold.
A pale-green wax will rise to tho top of
the receptacle which must be skimmed
off, dried and reheated. When this comes
to n boll, strain It through cheesecloth.
This may have to be done several times.
The cleaner the berries and leaves them
selves when tho process Is begun tho
fewer the strainings. Tho Becret of suc
cessful bayberry candles lies in using
plenty of water nnd In taking care to
make them on a cold day a warm day
will ruin them, for tho wax will not rite
to the top. Mold Into any shape you
choose.

In the muniigemcnt of tho ense,
A well-trained nnd studiously Inclined
dentist Is ns much n specialist, a dis
penser of health, as any oculist or neu
rologist or other qualified expert. For
example:
A mlddlc-nged man suffered with dlges
tlvo disturbance which bothered him moro
and more until It began to undermine his
health. His f.imlly physician tried with
out success to give him relief and then
sent him off to n great city specialist on
stomach troubles.
The specialist enjoyed all the laboratory
nlds nt his dlsposnl. The patient, being
desperate, wished to spare no expense,
nnd glndly submitted to every test tho
specialist suggested. Hut tho chemical
analysis of tho stomach contents, ob
tained by means of the stomach tubo
after n test meal, showed no indication
of ulcer or cancer. The blood count (by
nnother lnborutory expert) showed noth
ing of diagnostic Importance. An X-ray
photograph nfter n blsinuth-incnl gave no
light on the case. Then n young dentist
fresh from collego "hutted in" moist un
professionally and offered some gratui
tous advice, which Is usually worth what
It costs, hut not always.
Ho happened to meet tho patient sod
nlly, and, with natural professional In
stinct, he noticed certain abnormalities
nbaut the patient's mouth. "Why not
have those septic stumps drawn whllo
you'ro here In town?" he asked. "I feel
suro that the Inllnmed condition of your
rums has something to do with your
stomach trouble."
Tho patient was Ju3t fool enough to ne
cent the advice of self-constituted nuthor.

Itequlred 3 cups of dried apples,

the butter and sugar to n crenm, until
