Give Her Some Beadwork
A Daily Fashion Talk hy Florence Rose
The Indian beadwork that was so popular years ago was forgotten be
fore the war. Hut wounded soldiers started to make necklaces of this
kind, and because (hey were soldiers as well as because (heir work was
so charming, women began (o "go in" again for (bese pretty chains
THIS last day before Christmas I am
really sorry for the young women
who sell behind the counters where the
new beaded neck ornaiqents are sold.
For there has been a perfectly enormous
demand for this sort of dress accessory
as Christmas gifts in the smart shopB.
The first thought of mere man when be
decides to givo his wife a bit of jewelry
or ornament for Christmas is to go to
the jeweler's and buy the most in
trinsically valuable stone that the
amount he has decided to spend will
permit. lie doesn't think so much
about the setting, though he wnnts that
to be of good workmanship.
But when mere man consults the
woman in question he often discovers
that what she wants is some little orna
ment like one of the new glass bead
necklaces. They cost very much less
than the piece of real jewelry but they
contain a great deal of style and dis
tinction. It is an interesting thing to note that
this vogue for what we nsed to call In
dian beadwork, some years ago when it

answer tn heartbroken .la
k A. Well.!
Jack. I am n young man of twenty and
have a girl friend of eighteen She is a
fine nnd respectable girl and I have
been "pals" with her for nearly two
jears. Man of in friends say I should
go out with other girls, but ns neither
of ns dances we don't get to meet so
many friends. AYe have had a few
quarrels and I have thought just as
you did. that I did not want a wife
yet. and that I could find just as good a
girl after a while. After leading xour
letter it has ninilc me think a little.
Cvnthia. do ou think there aie very
man people who have "gone together"
with just one girl or boy and things
have turned out happily for both? Jack,
shall I keep this girl or not, as we have
a quarrel every once In a while? Please
answer me, Jack PIJTLA. ROY.
Ye. there have been many happy
marriages after rather long engage
ments. But it should be an engage
ment, This "company keeping," el-'
eluding all other friends, is always a
mistake. If you love her, asl: her to
marry you and be engaged, if she con
sents, until jou can marr.v. The
sooner the better.

A Question
.SYNOPSIS
At boarding school Virginia West
becomes friends with Kathleen Cos
ter, but their friendship is inter
rupted by Virginia's leaving school.
Mrs. West, fearful that Virginia may
run off und mairy Jimmy Anderson,
a penniless college boy, takes her
away from Palmertown and up to a
fasnionnble summer! resort. Here
they meet Sherman Holmes, a man of
gicat wealth, who falls in love with
Virginia. Mrs. West is eager for the
match, but when Holmes proposes
Virginia refuses him.
VIRGINIA stared nt her mother
with wide eyes. "Mother, what do
you mean?"
"It's true," Mrs. West returned
quickly; "quite true."
"That xve're poor?"
Mrs. West nodded.
"But why; are we up here bpendins
nipney like this if we are poor? I dou't
understand."
"I tkmiMit inn would be sensible
nnd when we met Sherman Holmes I
saw a way out of ever thing."
You tnougiic 10 marry nun ioi- ins
money.
"Don't be melodramatic, Virginia.
This is real life, jou know; you're not
on the stage. Suppose you did marry
him for his money; this lovo business
that you young girls are always moon
ing about doesn't labt. Sherman Holmes
is attractive; any sensible girl would
jump at the chance of marrying him,
and he has millions. You could have
everything. Is it quite settled, dear?"
Mrs. West's tone softened. "You could
reconsider it, couldn't you?"
Virginia shivered. "Jlother, how can
you? I don't love him. 1 told him so,
nnd. of course, there's nothing to be
done about it."
There was -a silence. Finally Mrs.
West spoke nnd the very quietness of
her voice terrified Virginia.
"Very well, but I don't know what
we're going to do."
Virginia vent up to her mother and
tried to put her arm around her, but
Mrs. West shook her off. "We have
only a few hundred dollars in the
world." she said shrilly. "What nre
we going to do?"
Virginia drew herself up to her full
height. She had become a woman thnt
night, nnd It seemed ns though she was
viewing her mother from a superior
angle. "We'll manage," she said con
fidently. , , ...
Mrs. West xvns bcornful. "I suppose
you think we should both go to work."
And then her mood changed again nnd
she pleaded with Virginia to change
her mind about Sherman Holmes. Vir
ginia was obdurate, and thu bccuc ended
in tears for Mrs. West. Virginia did not
cry. She was trying to think what to
do. In the twinkling of an eye every
thing had changed. From now on her
life would be entirely different.
She looked around wonderingly at
tho luxuriously furnished rooms. She
had taken nil this comfort for granted,
her silk nightgowns, her satin mules,
porcelain tubs, silver toiet articles.
Whnt would life mean without these
things, which had become necessities?

She Does Housework
Dear Cynthia I am much interested
in your column and want to ask jou
whj it is fellows nowadajs do not
want n girl who does housework. 1
have been in an officii nnd worked in a
store as saleslady, but could not make
enough to Pny lu bonid and for clothes.
I come fiom a xeiy good family and
I like housewoik veiv much, as I
work with very nice pfople and they
tieat me like one of the family, and I
am very fond of children. We have
tlnee in tlie family win re I work and I
think just as much of them as it they
were mine. Dear Cynthia, now do you
tliink I should go back to store or office
work? I am not a girl who dolls up,
but I dress nice nnd love to know whut
to do. Iin.ViaT.ROKL'N.
Pel haps you have so far not hap
pened to meet the light man. There
are plenty who greatly admire one who
does housework, nnd you seem to have
such a good home it would seem inad
visable to make a change. Do you go
to church? Why not talk to your clergy -man
ns jou talk to me? He xvould not
tell any one nnd could perhaps intro
duce some nice men nnd girls to jou.
of Money
ginla came over and sat down beside
her. She hesitated about mentioning
money affairs, but she felt she could
not go to bed without knowing some
thing more definite about their finances,
"Mother, have we plenty of money
with us?"
Mrs. West looked at her daughter.
"Why?"
'Because we must pay our bill to
morrow and go home."
"Wo can't afford to live in that
apartment any longer "
Virginia's h"cart sank, but she persist
ed bravely. "Then we'll have to find a
cheaper place."
"Rut we have no money for a cheaper
place." And Mrs. West sat up in bed
and twisted her fingers together nerv
ously. "What has become of nil our money?"
Virginia asked, not accusingly, but as
a simple question- that she ought to
know.
"It's gone," Mrs. West said tone
lessly. "Rut how?"
"Oh, I speculated a little bit, nnd
our living expentes have been heavy. I
expected you to make a good marriage.
, nnd I didn't worry, so I just spent as I
I went along. Virginia, it isn't too late.
v c ii use wnnt we nave lett. and yon
may meet some one else, it's just as
easy to fall In love with a rich man
as a poor one."
"But I'm already in love with a poor
man," Virginia returned quickly, "nnd
I'm going to marry him You know that,
mother; you've known it all along."

From a Little Girl
To Ihe Editor of Woman's Pago
Dear Madam How tall should a girl
of fourteen be? Is it all right for a
girl of that nge to gq, to a purty xvith
boys of that age? T nm considered good
looking nnd am a fairly good singer. I
play the piano xcry well. I nlso do a
great deal of dancing, both fancy stage
dancing nnd social dancing. So you see
thnt I am a pretty "jazzy kid." But
what am I to do to make my eyelashes
grow thick and long?
ULUK-EYED CURLY LOX.
The average height for that age is

pilRISTMAS Eve mysterious nlght-
s-" before -Christmas 1 Whoever heard
of any one writing nbout shopping on
this night of all nights? ,
I might tell you where can be found
a "wonderful cream which will smooth
away every wrinkle and tired line. 1
might tell you of a shop where can
bev bought a magic recipe for happl
ness. Rut I doubt whether you would
be interested.
For the comforting knowledge that
all those gifts are really bought and
wrapped up will do much to erase lines
and wrinkles. And no recipe, be it ever
so magic, could cause greater happi
ness than sharing the Joy of tiny people
who utter snouts and squeals ot de
light nt Santa's generosity.
So I shall not tell you of any ad
ventures today. I shall merely hope
that somo time you will have a minute
or two to read this column which re
cords our constant wish to help you
with your shopping, nnd to save you
steps when you come in town that you
will have a minute, I say, to read this
column, which extends to .you today
tho very best of wishes for the happi

HOW SANTA CLAUS WILL GET
INTO MARY ELLEN'S HOUSE
i .,-
She Is Afraid Ho Cannot Coma Doivn the Narrow Chimney,
hut the Spirit of Christmas Will-Let Him In
""OUT Mother," Mary Ellen objected,
J-' looking up nt tho narrow little
chimney on the root of the house, "how
will Santa Clans ever get down there?
Santa Claus is fat. And if ho drops his
pack first he'll land on it nnd break my
new doll!"
Thnt would bo such n terrible tragedy
that Mother had (o tell Mary Ellen a
little story nbout Christmas. She told
her nbout the SpIrlt-of-Christmas which
comes into everybody's house every
year about a month or so before Christ
mas. Nobody sees it nnd nobody hears
it come, but everybody feels its
presence. In fact, it is in the house nil
year round, but so many peoplo forget
about it nnd stick It back in n corner
nftcr Notf Year's Day, thnt it seems
to come in again perfectly new each
year.
It spreads good xvill among the crowds
of shoppers In tho stores, so busy get
ting things for other peoplo thnt they
forget all about themselves. It fills
the air with the fragrance of fir trees,
goes to all the toy departments nnd
makes toys move about nnd dolls shut
their eyes and open them again. It
creates an atmosphere of quiet joy
throughout tho wholo earth.
A ND on Christmas Eve (and Mary
Ellen got her old doll at that point
in the story so that she could hear it,
too), the Spirit-of-Christmas is busier
jinn ever. It brings beautiful gifts for
children out of funny-looking pnekages
and props them up against the Christ
mas tree. It changes the treo froma
dark, iHseonsolntp-looking object iuto a
marvel of gleaming gold and silver,
shining led, blue and green, shimmer
ing fairies, with gauzy wings, and glis
tening "stringy stuff."
Then, when everybody's in bed and
"all through the house not a creature is
stirring, not even a mouse," the Spirit-of-Christmas
calls up Santa Claus. And
Santa Claus gets into his sleigh, or his
automobile, or his airplane, according
to the kind of weather it is, and comes
"flying."
It's the Spirit-of-Christmas that finds
out bow big the chimney is. If It isn't
bigenough to let Santa Claus come
down, the Spirit-of-Christmas goes soft
ly and opens the front door very quietly
so thnt Santa CInus ran xvalk right in
that way. And that's how Santa Claus

to Mary Ellen's house to-
T WISH that all tho Mary Ellens of
the world knew nbout this Spirit-of-Chrlstmns
that can do such wonder
ful things. Sometimes It's called the
spUlt of love and sometimes it is known
ns tho spirit of unselfishness. If they
knew nbout it, perhnps they would nil
turn to their old dolls, ns Mary Ellen
did, and xvould say, n3 she did; "I like
thnt Spirit-of-Christmas. Let's keep it
all the year round."
Wax Beads
This is the day of tho necklace of
bright bends nnd quaint ornaments of
nil kinds that often give moro effect to
the costume by supplying just the right
bit of color, than if the necklace were
an expensive one of gold or silver. Thev
can bo made of modeling wax (which
can bo bought in almost nny depart
ment store), and from one small enn
of wax any number of necklaces may
be fashioned. Because of the littlq, ex
pense involved in making these orna-
iinents, any woman could easily possess
. uui-u umuiciii-i-uiureu ones, uriiiiani
little affairs thnt vie with tho ones in
the shops. Model tho wax right on the
foundation cord, using the fingers and
perhaps a small knife, so that xvhen the
xvnx hardens tho ornaments will remain
in place.
Glass Toweling
Cotton crepe nnd seersucker, bought
by tho yard, cut into towel lengths and
hemmed, make the "very best" glass
toweling. These also elude the ironing
board. Tho slight roughness of tex
ture gives nn extra fine polish to glass,
fine china and silver. Coarsely woven
old cotton cut into towels nnd hemmed
with a long stitch Is almost equally
good. MARY A. WILSON
