BIRDS OF PREY
Has he told you his wife does not
understand Mm Insinuated had it
been some one like you things would
have been different? Beware of him
then, for he bears the earmark of a
bird of prey.
Of most married men who complain
to any one that their wives do not un
derstand them much might be paid.
But there is one type particularly that
Is a menace the man who tells it to a
young girl.
For enough times out of ten to Justi
fy us in branding him he is utilizing
his poae as an unhappy husband to
play upon her sympathy, and his art
of flattery in intimating her superior
"understanding" to work her harm.
I knew a girl not so long ago who
said her life was ruined because of a
hopeless love for a married man. He
had begun in the usual way, by play
ing on her sympathy. Having won her
love he kept it aflame by constant re
minders and frequent trysts, but de
clared that he would never be free to
marry. her because he had made a vow
at the altar which it was hia duty to
keep!
On the manner in which he chose to
keep it and the worth of a love that
wanted her to share his ''misery," we
need hardly comment. But it is a trib
ute to the skill of these birds' of prey
that the poor girl did not see what to
us is so obvious.
The same bird, though perhaps of a
slightly different feather; is the man
who offers his sympathy to a married
woman.
Perhaps she is really unhappily
married, more frequently, however, she
is just going through one of those
marital crises that would blow over as
the storm blows over the sea, leaving
it more placid after. But at the psy
chological moment he is there with his
sympathy. Adding fuel to the flames
and vowing eternal love he tries to bag
his prey.
Steer clear, girls ,of the married man
who attempts to arouse your sym'
pathy; and you wives, of the man who
tries to give you his. For they are
birds of a feather and birds of prey.
Van Cornea In With Ann and Soon la'
Absorbed In Martha
"Tou two I'm perfectly disgusted
ith you!" Thus I turned indignantly
upon Daddy and Matha. "Eroticism!
Love-stuff! Have I got to get off the
earth to escape it? Must sane human
beings be slaves to romance? And vic
tims of propinquity? And do they be
lieve that they can't help themselves?"
"People say they can't help it, tbcy
make that the excuse for their own
weakness, they want to believe they're
victims of their own emotions!" said
Martha.
"What becomes of their will,, Td like
to know?" I raged. "Why are we ex
pected to use will about all the facts
of life except love7 "We avoid the
poison bottle on the medicine shelf, but
some kinds of love are only poison, and
we know it and hunt for "phials!"
"Jomo love is more like a trap than
a poison."- Martha suggested. "And
sih'h an obvious trap! If we have or
dinary sense, we go around a pit-fa'd,
but once let us glimpse any variety of
love, which is nature's trap, and we
fairly ruh into Itl"
"People who think they can't be
fooled about anything else fool them
selves about their love affairs," I raged,
"and it makes me "
In bounced Ann Lorimer, Interrupting
and ending our serious talk. Trailing
after her came Paul Van Eyeck. They
were living illustrations of my words.
They were not extraordinary persons,
but Just averago samples of the flirting
kind of humans, who play at the game
of love all of the time, first with one
partner and then another, and who
pretend that love is the greatest thing
in the world and then degrade It to
the commonest!
That Ann and Van could be so easily
and cheaply satisfied ought not to have
distressed me, but it did on poor Jim's
account.
Ann would have to reform for her
husband's sake and when my hushand
had recovered, it would be my duty to
make Ann change her ways, for unless
she did she .would soon be engulfed in
the quicksands of passion, and past
rescue.
Ann, petite and Ingenue, seemed a
child, not a wife, and certainly there
was little of her conduct that day to
suggest the existence of her husband as
a factor of importance to her.
Paul Van Eyck, debonair, if ever
the word could be applied to man out
side the movies, was as usual attired
in the correct clothes for the hour and
the occasion. lie made his extremely
correct bow to Martha upon being in
troduced to her. That he had failed
TH YCLTiS UOY ACEDSSTKE WAY
life
to meet her before surprised me until
I remembered that Van had spent little
of his time in his home town before
his finances began to shrink.
Ann flew to pay Daddy Lo'rimer his
toll, and to jperch upon the; table by
his side while Van sank in a corner of
the divan by Martha's side. From the
brightening of his eyes and a sudden
vividness of his speech, and a little
straightening of his elegant figure, I
perceived that Van very much ap
proved of Martha's blonde loveliness.
Daddy Lorimer teased his small
daughter-in-law about her new wool
socks.
"Can't see atyle In those things!" he
touched her ankle with his cane. "My
mother used to knit the same for me,
down on the old farm! Style huh!"
Van became absorbed in Martha. Van
is a man of culture, has never dont
anything in his life except travel and
read. lie and Martha could get a vast
amount of genuine pleasure from a
conversation, I felt sure, and Martha
never would suspect that Van was a
breaker of hearts of fair women nor
that he had already begun to-lay sieg
to her own!
Martha, preoccupied s shs was witb
her worry about her husband, couldn't
guess, but I could and so could ,;Mis
tress Ann. And she did, and proved
that she , was Jealous by suddenlv
throwingherself into the conversation
She entered effectively, like a dancer

She was still perched on the table
Suddenly she stretched out ho, iat,

how I suffer! Van, stop laughing!"

IDEAS FOR CHRISTMAS
DECORATIONS
Many and varied are the table deco
rations appropriate for Christmas.
Here are a few simple but effective
decorative schemes.
Paper Snowball
Suspend a holly wreath, well cov
ered on both sides, from the chandelier.
Arrange holders for candles in the
wreath, which, when lighted make a
circle of fire. Use white and red
candles. Underneath on the table make
a white tissue paper snowball over a
Wire frame, brush with liquid glue or
thin paste and sprinkle with "powdered
snow" or diamond dust. Run from this
red ribbons to each place, first con
cealing within it favors or caps. Rest
the snowball on a doily of holly sprays.
A centerpiece that always pleases
children or grown-ups Is the miniature
tree with its wealth of ornaments,
surround the tree with toy reindeer on
a sparkling white cloth scattered over
with holly leaves. Light the wee tap
ers on the tree Just before the guests
enter.
Candy Canes
A novel table decoration can be
made from fandy canes 'and stick
candy. Make a tripod of three large
candy canes. Suspend from this a
basket filled with smaller canes. Ra
diate canes from this, center to each
plate.
A hansrinsr centertiieee can Vi mxAe.
from a barrel hoop wound with green
crepe naner. Fasten tin candl hnlrWe
at a distance of about 2 inches. Deco
rate the hoops with sprays of holly
until it looks like a wreath and fill the
holders with red and preen candles
With green and red ribbons suspend
the wream about two feet above the
table.

Within the humble stable
The Christ Child lies tonight, .
And all about the manger
The Angel forms are bright.
How bare that lowly birthplace,
'And yet how passing fair,
For Heav'n to earth has wandered
And Love and ' Peace ' are there.
" ' Then let our hearts be opened K
1 -. 'Upon this Christmas Day,
And let no passing stranger
Unsolaced go away. ,
Let all our thoughts be cheerful,
Let every heart be glad,
For unto us lias come the King
In Heavns glory clad.
There's Mary, the Saint Joseph,
Who stands beside Him still,
And those three Icings' from out
the East
And shepherds from the hill.
Their gifts are laid before Him,
They've given of their store
!2ztt now He asks us for our hearts,
Just these, and nothing more.
Then let our hearts be given,
Let Him the offering see;
Nor myrrh, nor gold, nor frank
incense More worthy gifts can be.
And let us' all be happy,
And let us all be gay,
So that we spend full rightly
This latest Christmas Day!
The cherub choirs celestial
Are singing hymns to Him, , f
While in the East the guiding star
In growing slowly, dim.
But ev'ry golden choral
He hears the Angels sing,
Throughull the vaults of Time' and
Space
Eternally shall ring.
Then let our hearts be merry
Upon this festive morn,
For unto us a King is come
A lovely Child is bom.
Let every heart be thankful
That this is Christmas Day,
And pray to that sweet Christ
Child
That it shall last ahvay!

THE tWINS ARRIVE
"Xow what?" asked Nancy as the Green Shoes set them down On the very
edge of Santa Claus' big chimney.
"Wish ourselves down inside Santa's house," nodded Nick.
"Please Gr ," began Nancy, but the Shoes didn't wait for her to finish.
Down dropped the twins, bumpity, bang, crash, bump' right into a big fire
place, bringing down car loads of soot and stones and bits of brick along with
them. There was a roaring fire on the hearth, but although they landed
with such a racket and in such a dangerous place, they were not hurt a bit
more than if they had fallen into Goosey Gander's bed. The little Shoes saw

A little fat roly-poly figure came into view and made a jerky littlt bow ta
the newcomers.
Up they jumped and began to brush the grime off their clothes, for al
though they were not hur in the least they were very dirty indeed.
Suddenly they heard someone laughing. "Ha, ha, ha, ha!" went the
voice, "ho, ho. ho, ho, ha, ha, ha, ha. Oh, hum! Th was funnylNot hurt are
you, kiddies? You really must excuse me for laughing, but you look so
f-f-f-funny." And whoever it was, started to laugh all over again.
Then a little fat roly-poly figure came into view out of a shadowy corner,
and made a Jerky little bow to the newcomers. "Santa Claus!" cried the
twins together. "Is it really you?? They could say no more, for it suddenly
dawned upon them that this was the wonderful person of all their dreams
the fairy who eluded the gaze of earth children, and who visited only those
who had been very, very good during the year.
"Yes," nodded the fat little man with a twinkle In his blue eyes. "I believe
I'm really I. And who, pray, are you?"
"We're your helpers." answered Nick quickly. "The Fairy Queen sent us."
Why girls go to college Is revealed
by statistics dealing with the after ca
reers of Barnard graduates. Of 2,095
living alumnae, 58 per cent are holding
paid positions, 30 per cent have mar
ried, and only 12 per cent are neither
married nor at work. As to the kind
of occupation preferred, teaching, once
the favorite pursuit of college bred
women, has lost caste. Since 1913, the
per cent of graduates from Barnard
engaged in teaching has dropped from
S8 to 27. The figures show that girls
go to college for seriou,s purposes; that
higher education for them is something
for practical, use as much as for orna
ment, and that consideraoly more than
half of all the graduates of this college
are self-supporting.
