To Strengthen Bristles
If the bristles of your hair-brushes
become soft after being washed, ou
can remedy It In this way: If the water
used at first is, hot the rinsing waters
should be cooled down, and, las'ly, the
brushes should be given a thorough
rinsing In cold water . little am

washing water, and the hair brushes
be dried In the open air or in a drying

A Turkish towel makes the very niref-t ort of a combing jacket. The
one in the picture, for which just ono rather large towel was used, would
make an admirable Christmas gift, for there is not a girl or woman
who docs not find it necessary at some time or other to have something
to throw over a good shirtwaist while the is combing her hair. The
towel shown was made by cutting it up the middle half way, rounding
out the neck and then edging the whole in a crochet stitch, Ribbon tics

senso he was right. Not that she
would admit lt to admit lt now nnd
to confess herself In the wrong would
be, humiliating. Betides ho had cer
tainly been eager enough to leave her
and go with that gill. Certainly, thero
was reason enough to resent what had
happened.
"Why did you suggest it?" Scott re
peated. "There's no need of talking about lt
any longer," Huth began, "tho point of
the matter Is that you left me all alone
after bringing mo up to this oountiy
hotel, and certainly I think I have a
perfect right to feel ai I do about it."
Scott did not speak impulsively: ho
was much slower of speech than rtuth,
much slower of thought and more logi
cal. Huth was absolutely Illogical and
so angry at what sho considered her
neglect that there was no need of trying
to convlnco her, so he made no effort
to do so.
He walked over to the window and
looked down into the quiet little street.
ITo had seen hundreds of llttlo streets
like this In hundreds ot llttlo villages
In Trance, only they had not been so
peaceful as this. A throb of emotion
went through him. Tho thought of the
blgpess that his life had held over there
made more polgnnnt than ever the small
ness and triviality of tordld cjulbbllngs
and arguments. Tluth, and her attitude
possessed him utterly. He hadn't meant
to be selfish about the walk : hut Ituth
would not bellevo that, no matter what
he said to convince her.
When ho turned back she was still
sitting in the low rocking chair, a soft
pink negligee trailing on tha floor, a
I magazine h,eld In stubborn little fingers
i a Bet expression about her mouth that
! told of what was going on lnbldo of her
' mind.
He felt boyishly disappointed : but
back of that there was another feeling,
n feeling of loneliness. Ituth vva btill his
Ideal woman, and he loved her heartily;

she did not really believe nil the things

old rose? If so, I'll wager her
candle shades, which she probably
bought when she first fixed 'tip her bou
doir, aro beginning to show signs of
wear. There's your answer to her
Christmas gift problem. Tho thadea I
discovered today aro unbelievably
dainty, made of pleated old rose silk,
and nro tdged with gilt biald. Skillful
fingers liavo fashioned little flowers nnd
leaves of ribbon, and have shaped wco
dainty baskets In which to hold them.
They have been priced at Jl each, which
ta very reasonable. And, In fact, the
shop I have in mind has nn uncommon
assortment of shades to fit most every
candle and light.
Birds of a. feather flock together, wo
nre told, but what If the birds are wood !
There'H a problem for you to solve. And
while you aro puzzling over It, Bobby
and I will trot off to see the t,ly old
parrots, which, to be be sure, are made
of wood, but which we like much better
than real ones, because they can't peck
at u, or scold. And, In fact, these par
rots rival any bird whose plumage Is
the most brilliant. Gorgeous red back
shades Into tail feathers of black, nnd
here nnd there you will find a touch of
yellow or green. Kach bird swings
sedately back and forth on his perch,
and each and every one will delight the
heart of your boy or girl. The price of
one of these toys is only fhtty cents.

ticles mentioned In "Adventures

CHRISTMAS COOKERY STIRS
OLD DREAMS AND MEMORIES
There Will Be a Real Old-Fashioncd Preparation for Yulclide. ort
This Page; Mrs. M, A. Wilson, Whose Articles Begin
Monday, Has Promised That
BLESS your heart, Christmas
wouldn't bo Christmas without the
fruit cake nnd the llttlo takes-cut in
the shape of stars nnd the candles, and
the mincemeat and the plum pudding.
Ti ,M i, ,..,,., i , rooi
old-fnshloned Christmas on the Even
ing Punuc Ledqeii's 'Vomnn's Page.
Mrs. Mary A. Wilson, who, beginning
Monday, December 9, will give dally
cooking talks through thbso columns,
inH nrnmlK(,,l flint
.?ri? fTi? V
In fact," Mrs. Wilson says, "In
these days beforo Christmas most
times It is going to seem ns though
we nre nil In ono big kltche ex
changing views, Just like mothers and
wives did back In tho old days when
It wasn't considered an admission of
ignorance to run next door -nd find
out how Mrs. Smith did her pudding."
Glancing through tho rough plan of
Mrs. Wilson's articles for tho next
few weeks to come proves the Christ
mas preparation will Indeed run high
on this page. They nro "Christmas,"
"Tho Pudding," "The Mlncement,"
"The Christmas Cakes," "Tho Christ
mas Fruit Cukes," "Entertaining Dur
ing the Holidays," nn.i lnst the savory
climax of It all, "The Christmas Din-
, tier."
i These articles will be written In sim
ple, everyday languago which can be
understood by the newest llttlo bride,
and yet there will bo something In
each day's talk to provo to tho most
seasoned housewife that you can never
bo too experienced to pick up a new
"trick" hero and there.
But best of all, Mrs. Wilson's merits
nnd recipes will bo based on economy.
A reclpo must, after all, bo a -very
practical thing, Mrs. WiUon bollcves.
Be lt ever so fancy, there's no place
for it in tho averago omo unless It
keeps within tho law of the average
pny envelope. Ah has been said be
fore In these columns, Mrs. Wllsor has
probably had, through her position ns
head of the navul cooking school, more
experience than any woman in the
world in stretching a dollar. At the
Have Potted Meat Ready
The end of a boiled ham' or corned
beef sorted, bono and gristle removed,
fat and meat chopped fine, may yield
moro than could be used advantngcously
nt u single meal. Heat lt, with little
water. In its own fat and pack solidly
in Jel jy. tumblers or small jars. There
should be a quarter Inch of fat on top
to harden and form a seal from the air.
With a tin cover on top, meat thus
prepared will keep Feveral weeks.
Seasoning may be added as for any
po.ted meat. Meat thus prepared, both
fat and lean, Is retuly to be used with
from two to four times Its bulk of po
tatoes or other vegetables for hashes, or
for sandwiches, etc.
In the Kitchen
Oven cloths are excellent made of dou
ble ticking.
Coffee ground fresh every morning
goes further.
Marmalado can be made with carrots
nnd oranges.

When Company k
Drops in for Luncheon
It used to be that when company
dropped In unexpectedly about
lunch time I had to open n can of
sardines or something else that
looked like what lt was a make
shift. But now I'm not a bit
worried no matter how many ot
them there nre, because, I know that
with very llttlo trouble I can get
the best salad they ever tasted.
I boil some eggs hard and cool
them by putting them under the
cold water' for a minute. Then I
take out the yolks, crumble them,
and mix with butter, salt, pepper
and Al Sauco to taste. I put th
mixture back Into -the, whites and
serve on lettuce with any klnd'ofT
dressing I happen to have in the
house. It's the Al Sauce that
makes all tho difference between
ordinary stuffed eggs and the flavor
of th.s wonderful salad, that no on
hut a French chef has ever befor
ho-n ihlc to get. AdV
