DIANA had not been to soo Alice Irwin alnco the nlcht she had met Din RlshtD there, nnd the next time she went to call was shortly before Christ mas. It was a cold night and she hud three carefully wrnpped parcels for the children and Alice. In her arms. She found Alice alone ana in a miner ukix blanket bath robe. Jim wns at the club, Alice explained. "And I never expeciea 10 see a. soui tonight. You don't mind how I look. do you. dejr?"

Diana ever looked nnythlng but lovely for Julian, and Bhe knew how these things counted with men. "I thought you wore never comlnK to see. me," .Mice said when the two urnm.n were ennconced In tho llvlne room, and Allo had stowed the pack ages safely avrny. "Diana you never looked so well. Tell mo all about your elf. You must have nn interesting kind of life," Alice's tone waa wistful as she said this. Diana had removed her fur coat, one of Jullnn's Inst winter extravagances, and In her little blue serge dress with Its sheer collar nnd cuff, she look.d like a girl of nineteen. Alice who was lust Diana's age looked ten years older, her skin looked sallow nnd her hair stringy and uncared for. AUco belonged to the type of woman who thinks It nn effort to groom oneself for the psy chology of the thing. "Fixed up" for tho theatre or a dance, she could look as well as any one, but she slumped when there was only Jim to see her. Diana spoke about the shop, the ex citement of the Chrlatmoa rush, the lovely frocks, the streams of people. She told about G I pave b Maltby . and his daughter she talked of the plays that sho and Illtn had seen together. Te never been so busy In my life," she ended up. "Nor so happy?" Atlce asked softly. "Nor so happy," affirmed Diana promptly. "I envy you," Alice said softly. And Diana looking at dowdv little Alice wondered In spite of herself how she could let herself go to seed like th's. Your SouVs in Your Hand Kt IRVINO n. DACON IX) NO Til U Jill A normally lonv thnmb should reach at least to the middle of the third phalanx nf the Index Hnger. If lt reaches beyond that It Is a Ions thumb. XIX Of the fingers the thumb Is by fnr the mont lmnurtant. It Is the one- that on- poses Itself to all tho others nnd enables us to grip things. The loss of nny other two or even three fingers would not be so great u calamity as the loss of the thumb. Without the thumb our hand would bo of but little use. Krom the earliest ages the thumb has been Identified with the will. Similarly as we have come to regard the big chin as Indicative of a powerful will, a big thumb Is the Index of the Biimo tremen dous power. If the strnlghtened-out thumb Is held close to the Index Anger and Its tip reaches beyond the middle of this fin ger's third phalanx (the one with the, nail being the first phalanx), it Is ac counted u long thumb, The possessor of such a thumb Is governed by calcu lated motives principles, and Is not apt to allow the dictates of his heart to Interfere In his plans. The large thumb, therefore, shows force of character and, usually, ability to rule. Its owner seeks chiefly the useful, necessary, practlcul things. Besides will power, such h per son possesses an abundance of reasoning power. v , Ilia so voounncu; Ml ) :ss Ouvrtyne; Jersey, trlrolette and nil the new materials come nnd go each year, but serge Is always with us There Is something so tried "and true and durable about serge that one's wardrobe seems In complete Without a suit or frock of thai material.

HEARTS She did not doubt that Alice envied her and yet when she thought of living as Alice lived, the petty round of domestic trifles to see to, the children to manage, Jim to placate and nppease and no thrill of hope, no romance to lighten the drudgery, she shuddered and did not blame Allen for envying. "Your life Is like n, story," Alloe went on. "Picturesque, full of color. Dy the vn-. do ou ever see Dan nishopT' Diana Mushed and her heart began to beat. She answered evasively. "I saw him a couple of times. Itlta nnd I went to his apartment to dinner one night." Diana wondered 'If Alice knew anything. Alice was looking at her with a strnnge expression. "He told Jim that he thought ou were the most beautiful woman he had ever seen." Diana laughed. "That Is ridiculous. You know I'm not beautiful." "I don't know," Alice returncd.'-"You have more than beauty: you are Strang looking, you have chnrm. appeal. I think Dan Bishop was right. Did you know he'd gone nbrondT" Diana shook her head. She was sud. denly glad, her spirits rose, she drew a long breath. Alice ww still looking at her. "I think you're the luckiest woman I know." she went on speaking slowly, as though she could not get Diana off her mind. "And the only one of all of us who had courage to make a break. Wo pushed you Into marriage with Julian, and you two were not a bit suited to each other." Diana's spirits that a moment ago had soared so high, dropped suddenly. That was lust It people told her she was charming, and that she had power and personal appeal, and yet Jullon had never been charmed nor fascinated. Why was that? Diana did not even renllze how strange lt was for her to feel this way. but nevertheless after she hnd left Alice nnd was on her way home, the mougnt followed her: It was tho one thing that kept her from being trium phantly happy. (Tomorrow Merry Christmas!) Making More Money Sorfslng a labile Need Sirs. Anna t'Lither didn't Ilk. her work. It was a Job that.no one eluo In wiu more one oi me largest or its kind In New York wanted to handle. So, betng a new employe, sho had naturally been shunted to the riding hnblt depart ment and told that she waa expected to make good where others had failed. She needed the money and she stuck but In the back of her mind there was the feel Ing that there must bo something better In store for her. She found It. not by going far afield, but by cultivating the position In which she had been placed by paying the closest of attention to her work nnd keeping her ears open for suggestions from tho people who came Into the de partment. One day a customer, palpa bly discouraged, came In to look at rid ing hablta .She mentioned thnt she was going to the mountains and Mrs. Stnlber, more for th purpose of making con- ernat Ion than anything else, said, oull hae a wonderful time. I sup poser' "I would," was the reply, "provided I could get the right clothes. The fluffy organdies nnd summer frocks nro too light. The) won't stnnd up under the strain of outdoor life. And thtse riding habits ore too heavy. But I suppose I'll have to get one. They seem to be the only thing uvnllable." After the ftaln hnd rwpn mnriA Xfr Stalber did some hard thinking. Thero musi ne some solution to thp dltilculty. Thousands of women wanted outdoor clothes and would be willing to pay real money for them. Therefore, after think ing out the preliminary details, she sought nut the nroDrletor of the ), and laid the Idea before him.

Now It averages well above 14000, and Mrs. Stalber Is on a salary nnd commission of flvo figures just be cause, as she says, she paid attention to what her customers said. Tomo rro w The Itoy Who Work Wouldn't Friendship of Men and Girls "I believe fine friendships with men are so much easier to attain than most girls belle; 5. Even a congeniality of tastes Is not entirely necessary to them. One of the finest friendships of my life was with a man who had few personal tastes In common with mine. We dis agreed on a very great mnny Miblecta. My sister used to sayito me. ''I don't see' why you nnd Tom are such friends, when you are forever quarreling." Well, our "quarrellngB" were heated arguments for the most Dart on rather unimportant matters and concerning our Individual opinions as to these: out we did not quarrel as to fundamentals. There, each was sure of the other. It did not matter that he disliked Dickens while I nt that time doted on him. that he cared for one kind of music and I for another; what did matter was that underneath all these unimportant differences we could and did honor and trust each other. I be lieved him to be true and honorable and kind, and he believed me to bo the same; and In this mutual belief truth and honor and kindness our friendship took root and grew. Here, too, you see friendship began In the large and gen eral and lasting things, not In the petty and personal, and though many, many years have gone by and many changes have washed like tides against that friendship, It stands , as strong as ever and as true."

Dear Cynthia Do fellows nn a rule fall In love with .tho pretty girls, or do they fall for a girl's disposition? I am a girl of twenty years old, but I am not beautiful, by any means. But I am nlwnvs full of fun and laughter and ready at nny time to do anything any ono else does, providing It Is all right Now, I have no real girl friends, no they all get Jealous of me. Of what, I want to know? I s.m far from a vamp. Could It bo my disposition? I have a number of men friends; KITTY. ' Cynthia Is sorry, but Ifa she does not know you, nor tho girls you know, she cannot answer what they are Jealous of. Are you ns nlc to the girls ns ou are to the boys? Do you want them to Join In your fun? Some boys fnlt In loye with a beauti ful face, and some with n beautiful dis position. It depends on the man. Do Not Worry Conscience Stricken It Is well always to remember thnt wo are answernblo for our actions, words and thoughts, accord ing to tho light or knowledge we have at the time of tho offense.' A child Is seldom supposed to have use of reason or sense of right and wrong before he Is seven. Ho tells a' lie to K"t out of being punished, without realizing his responsibility In the matter. Many persons growing up to the full tight of reason, grlevo over faults' and fallings and sins of childhood, allowing themselves to Judge th6se fnultH ns If they had been committed with the full knowledge which comes with reason. We nre responsible to Ood for our acts according to our Intention at the time of the act. So cheer up C.ort Is good. All we have to do Is tell Him we are sorry. Linen Shower for Bride Dear Cynthia A girl friend of mlnu is going to b married this week. Now I wcnld like to give her a linen whowcr, so would lt be correct to do Ki,after she Is married? I could not have the shower before as I hnd planned on ac count of death In the bridegroom's fam ily. What can I serve and hovvshall I go about giving the shower? TWEEDEE. It would be qulto all right to give your friend a linen shower after her marriage. If you wnnt to ask men as well as girls have It In the uvenlng. -Ask her by telephone or letter to come to your house on the evening you plan for. nnd to bring her husband.

Ask the others to come n little earlier and, when they ar rive, collect the packages nil together and when jou an- serving refreshments bring tnem all in and present them to the bride. Serve sandwiches, .cako and lco cream, and have a punch bowl" of fruit lemon ade. "Plain Jane" Writes Dear Cynthia Although "Zadee"only waniea tne Doys opinion oi nor letter, I nm taking the liberty of answering It, too. You are right, "Zadeo" ; what the boya want Is a drucstore beauty who has no scruples about paying for the good time with a Kiss. The srlrl who believes In ncntness nnd all the higher things In life finds herself left out of social tmngs She Is all right In a pinch, but to take around she Is too slow. But the duy Is coming when Johnny and Billy and all the other "Jazz" boys will be wanting a little wife. Will they take one of the dolls? Oh, no ; the dolls and beauties will be forsaken for "yo domestic girl"! for, although a doll Is ntco to dance with and show off to your friends as your newest, she won't look nice across from you nt the breakfast table : and unless you nave a good stomach you would keop the doctor wealthy from your badly cooked food. Oh, well, there's good and bad dolls nnd plain Jones;. and I suppose there Is n Jhonny for every doll and u Henry for every Jane. THE ORIGINAL PLAIN JANU We Should "Look" Our Best near Cvnthla I am a dally render of jour Interesting and helpful column and enjoy tho dlscuw-lons Immensely. Ab to the debate about rouge, etc., I think It Is all "talked out," but I must express mv opinion on' the subject, with your kind permission. I am a high school student, nf this city, und we al ways have lectures, talks, etc. at school, about trying to mnke ourselves better In reference to our souls, bodies nnd In tellects. Now, Cynthia, why cjin't girls try to Improve themselves ns far as looks go? Of course, some do make failures In the attempt, but why not i-lve them the credit for the trying? Why "FBA DEL" There Is no reason why girls should not try to look their best. In fact, It is a uuty to no so. um piling nrnviier and paint on the face, wearing skirts a few Inches below the knee transparent waists, scarcely any sleeves and other caricatures of fashion which detract from a woman's beauty rather ths,n as sist It, am the kind of things that are generally frowned upon. It's Up to the Qlrl Dear Cynthia I say that "Zadee" Is alternately right and wrong, but mostly wrong. Her contention that boys nns looking onlv for the girl who can aid them In finding some light-headed amusement Is wrong. When we dance we desire to dance; and we fnvor neither the facetious, gar rulous maid nor the solemn-faced book worm. It Is true that we seek the girl with the gay repartee, whose dressing nnd dancing nrn In keeping with her pretty laugh. In preference to tho on whoso ono ambition is to exploit her brilliance concerning higher mathemat ics nnd thn broadening topics 'of the day. You are erring greatly In assuming thnt we along with the girls have noth ing hut silliness on our minds. If you possess the proper facilities you won't have trouble In getting an Interested party of the second part to listen nnd discuss things of some weight. It 1b the itirl who Is tho conversation. nllst. the one who knows when to talk nnd when to listen, the girl who waits for the boy to give the cue to baseball, yacht races. League of Nations, etc, talk or whose cue points toward a quick, fray answer to his gay question or who ninths long at the Joke he got verbatim before springing; thnt makes the hit, The trouble Is too many girls fnrpret that he should be the aggressor: and he should monopolize the conversation and not the girl herself. It Is Just as artful to be entertained as It Is to be doing the entertaining The Ideal girl Is one whom we seek for her tempered, soft-toned Intelligence, apparent when she deems It advlsahle, and whose sweet laugh emphasizes her good taste In dress, e'o. You're wrong as to kissing. The girl who presents the proper front of repnec lability obviates the necesulty of tellln a boy she Is not to he kissed. It Is all easy when you know how, TWOHOMH, Well-bred men and women never speak slightingly of other races Ar creeds. Tolerance Is always good form. In educatAl society there Is no place for the bigot whose, prejudices are ex Dressed In DUbllc without the niii.h..t consideration for the most sacred feel ings oi Diners, mo answer in kind merely stirs up strife; to Ignore the utterance Is not consistent with self respect. In the Illustration, the depart ing guest Is leaving as courteously as possible In the circumstances; but her departure Is, In Itself, a. rebuke to the offender, who finds himself deservedly embarrassed by the awkward situation created through his tactless remarks.

ADVVETYNSUIT OF STYLISH BROWN JUST because a color or a style falls rather flat one season Is no reason why it will not bo smnrt the next. The fact is .that a new fashion note hardly ever does mnke Ita nppeal thp first time it la urged by tho dressmakers and designers. Now brown was pushed Inst winter, first in Paris nnd then here. The dress makers felt thnt it wns time for a variation from navy blue and black in suit colors. And they hit unon brown ns the substitute. They had confidence in it. and it must have been with something like chagrin and dlssDnolnt- ment that they found the women who buy and wear the clothes turnine from the rich brown street frocks and r.uits to their 'old favorites, in nnvy blue. Now brown has come bnek. And I for one think that It will be found ac ceptable by smnrt women. In fact there Is already evidence that It haR been found acceptable Jude ne from thn se lection made by the women who have made selections of autumn clothes early. I am showing you an Imported suit of brown wool mixture recently se lected. There is a brown fur collar in cross-over effect, which Is just one of me details mm go to mnke this milt a one-sided garment. One-sided effects, you know, nre quite tho ragt nn idea that is further carried -out in the em broidery on the coat which nppears only nn the left side. Nurrow bands of fur are used to edge the coat also. The shaped cuffs which finish the sleeves nre decorated In the same way. Hemcmber if you select brown for your autumnal coloring thnt two dif ferent shades of brown seldom go well together, nnd If you wear n brown hat with a brown suit take care that It is of the same hue. Here the hat is of diivo. tyn matching exactly the predominate tone of brown In the suit mixture. Smart but extremely simple it is trimmed with a lurge ribbon bow at the left bnck.
