I favorite time for entertaining, and no
party is really complete without ap
propriate favors. The hand -decorated
glass compote iiiusiraicu uuutu iuv,.
a verv unusual favor to use nt u valen
tine luncheon, and one does not nnvn to
be an nrtist either in order to reproduce
the design. ,
Glass compotes of various sizes may
be purchased at any "ten -cent' store.
A small size should be chosen for the
individual favors. The glass is deco
rated with oil paint-s which hnvo been
mixed with a little white enamel paint
of the kind which comes for painting
furniture. The white enamel makes the
oil paints dry more quickly nud pro
duces n glassy surface. The design
must first be transferred to the glass
compote by means of carbon paper. The
large heart shown above may be trans
ferred just as it is. and the lines may
be put iu with li lino brush when ttho
painting is done. The heart and lines
ninv nil be dour in red, or the heart may
be painted red and the lines picked out
in black, which gives a striking con
trast. If one prefers n more clabornte deco
ration for the compote the border o
hearts nnd dots may be used. Transfer
the border to the top edge of the glass
witli carbon paper and color the entire
design red. The compotes should be
decorated several days before they are
to be used so that the paint will have
a chance to become thoroughly dry.
Pill the compotes with candy hearts
nnd put one at ench place at the table.

Laurel that she felt a little flush creep
up into her checks and she dropped her

silence, thankful for the. fact that
Winona made no remarks.
The sound of a motor born in the
Sunday silence of the sleepy street
made Laurcl'i heart leap strangely.

of the age-old conflict between the

THE FRIEND WHO REPEATS
DISAGREEABLE REMARKS
Thinks She Is Being Loyal, but She Is Really Only Calling
Attention to Something That Does Neither Good Nor Harm
.....
J JUST thought it was only the jinrtprcvent you from being pleasant nnd

said." stated the girl with the right
eous air, "Because it wnsn't nice at nil.
She. said that she thought you were very
bossy nnd that you were trying to take
Charley away from her,"
She paused nnd sat back to sec what
effect her words would have on her
friend. Nnturally, tho result was in

Charley away from her! Why, I knew

lowed indignation. Then after a while
it didn't seem funny nt all ; it was just
annoying, it Jean tnougnt tnai, wuiy
should she be so friendly? but ns far
as that was concerned, why was it nec-
essnry for her to know that Jean felt
that way? It would Just moke their
relations strained, for it would not bo
possible to keep up tho same manner
now that she knew that Jean was not
entirely friendly; nnd yet there was not
enough hostility to dcclaro an open
breach. The whole affair was very dis
concerting. "I wish sho hadn't told
me," she finally lamented.
IT NEARLY always happens that
way. Of course, there are some re
marks that arc made nbout us behind
our backs that we had better hear of,
for there Is no use in trying to be friends
with a person who says malicious things
about us and pretends to bo our friend.
But there arc other harmless criticisms,
manv of them made idly, with no iden of
hurting any one, that would simply
melt nwav with the thought that
prompted them it they were allowed to.
It is only when one o these righteous,

It seems to mc that this is a rather
misplaced responsibility for a real

trouble bv repeating something that is
too trivial to be dangerous, but too
pointed to be taken ns a joke, I cannot
sec that there is nnything loyal or
kindly about it.
Perlnps you know a girl pretty well,
but realize that she would never be a
close friend. It. wouldn't hurt you to
feel that she might say something just
a bit disagreeable about you, would it?
You may have said something of the

would be nothing hypocritical about
the acquaintance. You Both know that
you could never be good friends, al
though there is nothing definite held
against cither one. But, suppose one
of your friends assumed the responsi
bility of your friendship so heavily that
she felt compelled to repeat Ihu re
mark. It would just make tho situa
tion difficult without doing any goodL

NO, I fail to sco where loyal friend

mark that is ever made about them
There is something in it that sccins a
little too much like gloating. Anil
there is no doubt thnt it makes a great
deal of unnecessary trouble, creates
difficulties that would never arise ot
themselves, and calls attention to un
pleasant situations that would be mitili
better kept quiet.
Valentine's Day
If you want to have a pretty table
and yet don't want to pay very much
for your decorations on Valentine's
Day, cover the table with a white cloth
that you ''don't mind spoiling with
stains from red crepe paper that has
been wet. Then for your centerpiece
cut a huge heart out of red crepe paper,
and lay it flat down on the tabic, pull
ing out the edges so that they stand up
iu a ruffle. Then place candlesticks
with shades made out of the same crepe
paper nt four corners ot the centerpiece.
Then have smaller hearts as doilies at
each place, and make u tiny heart doily
for crfch tumbler to stand on.
