before I finally select the ten or twelve stories in each
number. Tales contrived for their "sex lure" and low
appeal have.ne place in The Journal.
b "Is it art; will it encourage a love for the beautiful ;
is it worth framing?" I ask when selecting a painting
, for color reproduction.
"Is it practical; in geed taste; does it apply in the
modern home?" is the criterion by which I judge each
of the new ideas worked out in the development of the '
departments for which The Journal is famous, whether
Paris fashions, needlework, entertainment or house
hold management.
' ' P Incidentally, we are building up a new department,
te be called PRACTICAL POLITICS, which I feel
confident will be of extraordinary value te millions
of our readers. .
I try te make each separate, single feature worth
the whole price the reader pays for the entire contents

iMether Tried Se Hard
te Make Them See
She had been a rare mother
of a large family, new grown
up.
bhe had saved the Neah s
Ark and all its vividly painted
inmates for years.
At the Christmas reunion of
the family her heart burned
with a great longing te revive
through the old Ark some of the
mother-happiness of the far-off
Christmasscs when her sons
and daughters were young. She
had a further Idea, tee. But
when children grew up and
grew apart . . .
"The Neah's1 Ark," by Elsie
Singmaster, is truly a big
Christmas story.
Can Kindness
Ever Be Cruel?
Perhaps n.et; but kind
cruelty is nevertheless prac
ticed, both consciously and
unconsciously, by many em
ployers of women. There was
a case of the sort in Temple
Bailey's story, "Wait Fer
Prince Charming." The girl
was secretary and stenog
rapher te a rich man who
cherished beauty in a strange
way.
THE OFFICE DOG has been rummaging about in out-of-the-way
nooks and crannies, and. he's picked up many a curious bit
of humor and many a whimsical dash of verse that will delight
and amuse, the whole family.
Christmas Menus
Times may have changed in many ways, but Christmas still
holds pride of place as a time for hospitality and festivities of
all kinds.
On the shoulders of the, housewife for a Week or se before the
Holiday season rests such a multitude of duties that she is
"worried sick" for fear one little overlooked detail will spoil
the Holiday cheer.
The Christmas Journal takes away much of the worry. Five.
big articles by nationally known experts tell hew te plan all the
dinners, hew te serve the turkey, chicken,-duck or geese; hew
te make new Christmas Candies; hew te make delicious Con
fections from Canned' Fruits and hew a Luncheon for the Holiday
Guest can be quickly prepared.
