DO TOU Intend making nny Now Yearn
resolutions? Mnny of un may laugh
At thin Idea of turning over a new leaf,
but nevertheless 1C ono does dcslro to cor
rect any particular fault It can bo dono no
much nloro easily tho first of the year.
As some ono has bo aptly romarkod,
Tho Now Tear'fl resolution linn thn ad
vantage of being- a public confessional.
If you war off a bad habit at any other
timo of tho year, your friends think noth
ing of Hi If you reform the first of Janu
ary, they know that you havo turned over
u. new leaf.
There is a certain vlrtuo In ndvortls
tag our (rood Intentions. It commits us.
Tho vowa wo make to oursolves may bo
broken and remada any number of times
without oostlnfr us a slnglo pang; but let
another Intorvono, and wo wllh think
twice beforo compromising our position.
.Many men are kopt In tho straight and
'narrow path becauso Uioy havo sood rep
utations to llvo up to. It hurts our pride
to fall short in tho ayes of othors, besides
making us appear ridiculous, and wo go
further to avoid destroying our frlond.i'
illusions concerning us than to ontlsfy
our own 'conscience A New Tear's decla
ration putu us upon our honor."
I don't know that I can exactly indorso
sit of this opinion. It would bo End In
deed to bellovo that moot of us cannot bu
our own masters that wo aro not entitled
to bo put on tho "honor system."
I havo known many pooplo who woro
extremely scrupulouu In kooplng promises
to thomsolvcs. But, whatovcr tho modus
operandi, tho turning over of a new leaf
is stimulating to most of us oven If tho
book is a small and unimportant ono and
tho list of vices very potty oncfl. Try It

Reliable Uccipo for l'io Crust
To tha Editor of Woman's Page: v
Dear Madam t would like to know a. cood
recipe tor msklnc" crust for mince plea. I hav
tried, but the crust la ulwaya hard and cunnot
be cut. Should baking powder tm used?
(Mrs,) A. J.
To each cup of pastry flour use about
ono ounce, or a tnble-poonful, of shorten
ing. If you use lard, bo nuro It Is pantry
lard or tho crust will not be a success.
Alter mixing a smalt spoonful of salt into
the flour, rub shortening in with the hands,
than add Ico water to mako a stiff dough.
Turn out on a floured board, roll, then turn
and roll again. Put In bowl and set on
Ice to get thoroughly chilled beforo rolling
out and baking. Use no baking powder.
Tha secret of flaky crust Is to handle ns
little as possible, and to keep cold. Mix
thoroughly, but quickly. Many cooks allow
the mixed dough to stand on tho lco for
twenty-four hours before baking, as this
makes It tender and flaky. When you bake,
' sea that tho oven Is of an oven heat that
Is, fairly hot top nnd bottom.

Since you like tho young man and your

by their clothes; the young man may be
too poor to buy any better ones. If, how
ever, it Is Just a question of poor taste,
you may bo ablo to make tactful sugges

MY MARRIED LIFE
By AtfELE OAllRISON
T)AD news, Dicky?"
-D We were seated at the breakfast
table, Dloky and I, the morning after our
trip to Marvin, from which I had returned
weary of body nnd siek of mind. Tacitly
we had avoided all discussion of Ornce
Draper, the beautiful girl Dleky had dis
covered there ond engaged ns a model for
his drawings, promising to help her with
her art studies, lint because of my feeling
toward Dicky's plans breakfast had been
n formal affair.
Then had eftme n sptelnl-dellvery letter
for Dicky, lie had read It twice, nnd was
turning back for a third perusal when my
query mado him raise his eyes.
"In a wny, yes," ho said .slowly Then
after a pause, "Head It." Ho held out tho
letter.
It was postmarked Detroit. The writing
reminded mo of my mother! It wns tho
hftltd of n woman of the older generation
"My dnrllng son." II began.
"Kdwln Iiob Just decided to go over to

1 nm nuro nho Is a cry ncnslhlo wnmnn,
nnd thnt wo nhnll get on very well to

nfter all. Is tho only thing that counts with

"You cannot know, my dnrllng boy, how

sometimes tho last year that I might nevor

remembor, dear boy, your mother loves
you Just tho samo now ns she did when
you woro a llttlo lad nt her kneo. Lovingly,

I, too, rend tho letter twlco beforo mak
ing any comment upon it. I wondered It
Dicky's second rending had been for tho
samo purposo ns mine to gnln time to
think.
I was stunned by tho letter. I had never
contemplated tho ponslblllty of Dicky's
mother living with us. For years nho had
made her homo with her childless daughter
nnd nnmesako. Harriet, whoso husband was
ono of tho most brilliant surgeons of tho
Middle AV'ost.
I knew thnt Dlckv'n mother nnd slaters
had spoiled him terribly when they nil hnd
u homo together beforo Dluky'n father died.
Thn flrBt thought that rnmo lo mo wan thnt
Dicky's whims nlono wcro hard enough to
humor, but w,lien I hnd both him nnd his
mother to cnnnliler our homo llfo would
hardly bo worth tho living.
I knew nnd rcHctited nlfio the fact that
Dlcky'n mother iind sisters disapproved of
his mnrrlngo to me. In ono of Dlcky'n care
less conlldonccn I had gleaned thnt his
mother's choice for him hnd been msrto
long ago, and that ho had disappointed her
by not marrying a friend of his sister.
I felt ns If I wero In a trap. To havo
to llvo nnd (rent ulth daughterly deferenco
u woman whom I know no 'dlxllkod mo
thnt she refused to attond her sou's wed
ding was tmthlnknhlo.
On tho other hnnd, I know thnt thero
wits no other wny out of It. I could no
moro refuse to rocolvo Dlcky'n mother thnn
I could hnvo deserted my own.
I'HRASKS TO .MARK FJSUMXQ.
Of course, I could not say so to Dicky,
hut secretly I thought her letter In bad
tnsto. i3ho might havo coiiHldered my feel
ings enough to nsk If sho would bo wel
come Instead of so cnlmly taking for grant
ed that my homo would bo hers for tho
rest of her llfo. I said this to myself, then
Hushed with shmnu to think I hnd been so
tingcnuroun oven in thought to my hus
band's mother.
' Iiut tho" cutting llttlo remark, "I have
nlnays said that there wnn not room In tho
samo houso for a ijaughter-ln-lnw mid n
molhcr-ln-law," rankled oven nfter I had
composed myself to speak calmly to Dicky
concerning tho letter.
I hnd no doubt which of us would be
forced out of tho houso If thero ever came
a clash between us. I novcr could come
between Dicky and his mothor. I would
not do It even It I could.
Mechanically I folded tho letter, trying to
framo phrases which would mask my renl
feelings. For tha llrnt time In my life I
wns confronted with the necessity of utter
ing a deliberate falsehood.
I did not want Dicky's mother to live
with us.
Hut my sense of Justico nnd of deconey

Charmlnrr Frocks for New Year's Ten
Afternoon frock of chnmpngno velvet.

OTIIi:il believes In keeping "open

the wholo neighborhood drops In for tea.
This lo the ono time when It Is renlly fun
to sonn, nnd t never hnvn any trouble In
persuading tho prettiest girls to help "feed
the miiltltudo " livery on" Is In such a gnod
humor. I guost wo novor nulto lose that
rhlldinh belief thnt tho hnpplncss of tho 3Gt
days that follow depends upon tho way
you cpend New Yenr'n Day. Bo, even eno
mles nro "politely pleasant" nt mother's
ten.
Wo always manage to havo new frocks,
nnd although Dad "draws the line" nt a
now suit, he nt least wears n new neck
tlo. Mother was real oxtravngant and bought
a hnnilHomo tniipu-oolarcd pnnno vcltct nnd
chiffon gown, nn original French model
It Is trimmed with bands of moleskin, nnd
has touches of nntluuo silver embroidery
on th hodlco and rklrt. Thero Is a chemi
sette of real Ilrtisscls Inco nnd wrlt frills
to match. Dad said sho luoked "handsome
enough to bo n tpicon."
My frock cost nbout ii third ns much ns
mothor's, nnd It wns mndn nt homo by Mrs
Mathon, with tho holp of her "good man
Friday," ns hIio calls inc. Wo spent three
days laboring over It, but I haven't seen
any afternoon frock that I llko nny better
Mothor bought tho material, chnmols
colorod chiffon elvot of tho palest tint, nnd
wo decided to trim It with gray fox fur
and lace.
' Mrs. Mathon mndo a tightly fitted bodlco
lining of flenh-enlorcd satin nnd a petticoat
of tho samo mntcrlnl edged with n narrow
flounce.
Tho foundation completed, sho "built" the
frock on It. Sho fitted tho elvot hod loo
rather snugly with a soft fullness under
tho arms nnd up over tho shoulders. The
drooping shoulders nro extended to meet
tho long, tightly lifted nleovcs, which are
finished with llarlng cuffs.
1 mndo tho chemtsotto for tho V-shnped
neckline, lining two-slda pieces of crcatn
colorod tulle finished with a frill of pleated
lnco. Mrs. Mathon Insisted that there
should bo a touch of color Introduced, as
tho frock seemed to lnck "snap." Wo tried
a peculiar soft tono of green nnd one of
the now shades of rose, but nolthor ono
added anything to tho frock's beauty. Then
I limited out thn scraps ot bluo silk left
from Cicely's newest dinner frock. It Is
that ndornhlo tone of grny-blue thnt Is ho
hard to Hnd, nnd harmonizes bcntitltully
wlth tho olvet.
. Mrs. Mathon used a narrow band of tho
bluo silk about tho waistline. Then sho
hud mo mako somo narrow frilling of velvet
faced with tho blue silk and yards ot velvet
cot cred cording.
Thero nro threo widths of tho wldo velvet
In tho skirt, nnd Mrs. Mathon gored thorn
slightly nt tha top to avoid n bunchy full
ness about tho watnt. , Mho cut tho skirt
nwny over tho hips nt thn waist, and after
tunning a shirring string about tho opon
Ingn, finished them with the velvet cording.
I sewed tho velvet frills faced with bluo
about tho openings nnd covered two Mat
button moulds with velvet to trim the
bodlco whero It laps slightly to tho loft
side.
When Mrs. Mnthon had sewed the band
of gray fox on tho skirt nbovo tho deep
hem my New Year frock was finished.
I shall bo thoroughly mUlstleil If every
frock I get In 1017 Is as good looking as
this, my very first one.

Over tho rim of the world-
Will thero bo uulot around mo,
As of sunset banners furled 7

What If my song comes ringing
Down through tho stnrB nnd tho dew?
I nhnll mount, strong ns tho promise
Forged In lovo's white, first fire
A soul through tho rustling darkness
On pinions of dcslro.

That's our past, and the future lobks good. We're making no
new resolutions simply going on fulfilling the old ones, fully
believing that the secret of success is constancy of purpose, and
we've never yet swerved from that deep-rooted conviction. It's hard
to teach an old dog new tricks.
The year just closing has brought us the LARGEST VOLUME
OF BUSINESS IN OUR CAREER. It grows larger as it grows better,
and straight f orward is its road. 1917 is all before us, and our busi
ness will go on making seven-league strides. We render real service
to the buying public, and "QUALITY, QUANTITY AND PRICE" &
the keynote of all we do.
It's hard to fittingly express our appreciation of the mag
nificent support given us it's all so far beyond our most sanguine
expectations. That common-sense grocery selling appeals to the
thoughtful and thrifty is proved beyond doubt, for we know that
an even level of honest prices on all goods all the time is at the
very bottom of our growth. To those who have made all this possible
we extend our heartily sincere thanks, and cordially wish each one of
our customer-friends A VERY HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW
YEAR.

WHAT CARE AND GOOD TASTE
WILL DO FOR "GOOD LOOKS''
By LUCREZIA DOIU J
Trims Donna et the Metropolitan Opera Company. i
NO WOMAN Is absolutely devoid of good
looks. Given a rew features to build
on she can Improve her nppearance In a
hundred ways. Kven If you aro what the
world In general considers to bo a "homely"
wornnn, do not cense to
hope, for ir you take
nn Inventory of your
personal charms you
will find that you
havo been treated pret
ty fairly nfter all. In
tho first ptnre, many
defects can be cor
rected with very little
trouble. Take, for
Instance, protruding
earn ; they can be hid
den If the hair Is
combed In tho proper
manner. Few women

(.UCIISZIA lioni i''gh to" expose them
completely, yet almost without exception
those who nro beyond the "early twenties"
arrange their hair so that tho ears are ex
posed, It makes no difference If you are a debu
tante or an older matron, tho hair can be
drawn over tho ears and provo a most be
coming arrangement. Tho beauty of tho
hair Itself can be Improved by the applica
tion of a reliable hair tonic, frequent brush
Ings, mnnsago nnd proper shampooing. It
will requlro time, to bq sure, to, bring tho
neglected tresses back to n normnl, healthy
condition, but It can ba accomplished.
When tho forehend Is high, nrrange tho
hair so that your overbroad expanse of
brow Is hidden. If your hair refunes to
fall In ringlets or waves, wear a 'bandeau
of narrow black velvet or of grosgratn rib
bon, as many nro doing at present.
Tho hollows In your checks can bo
rounded out by feeding tho starved tissues
with a skin food. Mnssngo and outdoor
exercise should be combined with this nour
ishing process.
Sometimes It Is Impossible, to Improve tho
nppearanco of a long, scrawny neck, but a
high collar will cover n multitude of sins.
