NFAV YORK—You’ve stlon it coming, gradually taking on a little more fullness and a little more full ness until now we have with us a sleeve of some proportions. It comes, of course, with the other fancies we are borrowing from Eu ropean peasants—Rumanians, gen-1 orally. The sleeves of this gown are it* Interesting feature. We've known brown velvet as a fashionable fabric long, and We've loved the straight soft line of It in skirts, but It has been many a day since we've used such columes of; . material for our sleeve* and then i brought them Into a loose band at ' tBe wrist.

To Marry or Not to Marry "Cissy is willing to take ine—and so why not marry him? "As long as our presen delightful compionship continues, we would be very happy together. And afterward, ** we would be no more miserable than any patr who had married ro mantically—and drifted apart in the common way.” Mo I turned over the situation a hundred times. So I put it to Motherdear. "in any arrangement you and Cis sy might make. I'd insist on a long engagement.” she said. "You're too young to marry now!” “But early marriages are the thing now-adays!” said I. “I know they are. And more's the pity. I see little girls—mothers at 16 and 17 years old, pushing their baby cabs at all hours of the day. _ and the night, too, when the infants K should be in their cribs. And 1 do ■e feel so sorry for the babies.” “Why?” "May, I wish you'd find some other form of question and stop using that persistent 'why’!” “Why?” I repeated. "Because you've been using the word ever since you were four years aid!” Moherdear scolded. "But to answer you sensibly, it makes me sorry to see girls in their teens push ing their baby cabs because the chil dren of such young girls are not as line, physically or mentally, as-the hildren of young women more than years old.” "Oh-h-h!” I exclaimed. Veryi early marriage is unfair to the off faring!” Since I cannot go to college, and since 1 haven't an hour a day to spare for tutors, Motherdear has to educate me as 1 go along. Luckily, I have a good memory and Mother dear reads all the new books. "A girl in her teens has not lost her liking for dancing and good times." Motherdear continued her eugenics lecture. "And she is too apt to be impatient even with a help less little baby when things go wrong, when she has to make any little sacrifice.” "I guess that settles it. Just tell Cissy lor me that I'm too young to marry now.” But when Motherdear put it to him so. Cissy came back with: "I'll marry May and send her to college, Mrs. Scott, if you say so!” That proposal did not take welh with me but I liked the dear boy’s originality. “If she'll have me. she can go where she pleases—and do what she pleases—for two years.” Surely. Cissy was trying to be splendid. 1 was fully alive to the marvels life would reveal to his wife. But never once—never once—did t forget myself when Cissy made love to me. Never once did I forget myself in his most sentimental mo ments. I was always visualizing the scenes, I was always perfectly con scious of myself as an actor in It. And judging myself by the test of true love which Motherdear once had given me, I was far from being la candidate for matrimony.

Gnome village was behind them and they were in the secret passage that led back to Brownieland. Kip had the key to the Enchanted Cupboard, and if all went well the Twins would soon have magic shovels and be helping Mr. I'im Pirn to dig up the glittering colors for the Christmas toys. “i’ou promised to tell us how you found odt that the gnomes were so wicked,"' Nick reminded the Brownie who had helped them to escape. •‘Can’t you tell us now? We’re safe here.” "All right,” consented Kip. ”1 can tell you while we’re walking. 1 only discovered it last night when Tweek unoso asked me to go chimney hunt ing with him.” “Chimney hunting!" exclaimed Nancy. “1 never heard of it." "Neither had I." Kip told her. "It's m this way. The gnomes hunt up all R the chimneys where children live. ^ about this time of year. Then they mark them with chalk so they will show up in the moonlight. Ahout , Christmas time they go out in thou- | sands and block up the chimneys j with all the soot they can stuff In, so Santa can't get down. Besides that they steal letters the kiddies put up the chimney for Santa. And another great big awful besides—the most dreadful of all, they throw dreams down these chimneys for the chil dren to catch—dreams that there is no Santa Claus and things like that! I tried to throw down a good dream about good, kind, merry, old Santa, but before it got past the chimney pot. Tweekanose caught It and put It into his bag. Why. the gnomes have even caught the chimney-sweep and made him a prisoner, also the toy maker. After we help Pirn Pirn, we'll have to oome bock and set them free, because it never would do for Santa to get his suit all smudgy.” (To lie Continued) (Copyright, l!t”i. N’EA Service) J. M.

Hut the Christmas tree and the holly and the other green which go far toward making tile holiday "at mosphere" are doomed to extinction 1 unless some means are taken to re produce them. The state of Vermont alone furnishes live million trees for the Kastern markets each Christmas time and unless means are taken to conserve and reproduce the supply some time will be exhausted. The American Forestry Association has issued a Christmas tree monograph on the subject. ' The first step to save tho Christ mas greens,” it says, "is better fire prevention methods. Wholesale cut ting by venders who never go into the woods except at this season and the 'holdup' prices in big cities are denounced. On the other hand proper cutting aids the growth of the larger trees and if properly done is a help. The holly is being cut by | tho unthinking in a way that borders on slaughter, and only the right sort 1 of cutting will save this valued green j for the lioliday season. AUIl UL imj ~ - | fir trees found in the world are na- ; tivo to North America, eight occur in the Pacific slopes and in the 1 Rocky mountain regions, and only I two are found in the Eastern United | States, and one of these—Fraser s ; Fir—is limited to the high moun- j tains of Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee. Most important in the Western group are the Grand Fir, Nobel Fir. White Fir. and Red Fir. ( The Balsam Fir is unquestionably the best known and most widely dis tributed o£ our native firs. It is on' of the most beautiful evergreen trees native to North America, It frequents bogs, swamps, and other wet places. "The Balsam Fir is a tree which satisfies many human wants, but the greatest of all its gifts is the Christ mas tree. As a Christmas tree it has no superior, and in many localities no other native tree has Christmas tree qualities that even approach it. The European Fir, so common throughout many parts of Conti nental Europe, has many character istics In common with our Balsam Kir, It, too. has been used for cen turies as a Christmas tree. The sim ilarity between these two trees is tery marked, which may have help 'd develop our high regard fo^the Balsam Fir and rate it as the Vire most Christmas tree of the eastern I L'nited States.

Li ,Kclitor “Orai Hygiene." dVhen the teeth come into their j ratur.il position in the mouth there , is seldom any disturbance duiing the process of eruption. Teeth that are regular require much more effort on the part of na ture than those that are normal. It is like the ninety and nine that went not astray. The good sheep caused no trouble and walked right into the fold, but the one irregular: one kept the Shepherd out all night in the wet when he should have ] been asleep. One of the causes of irregularity in the teeth Is the uneven devcl-, eprnent of the jaw bones themselves i due to the effect of childhood's fe-! vers and to abscesses or too early loss or too Ion? retention of tem porary teeth. me density or hardness^ or the Jaw bones is pri-djced by the or derly laying down cf lime salts any inflammation may causa this. More than usual resistance to the \ movement of an erupting tooth through the bone will cause the tooth either to choose the route of least resistance or to give up hope and become impacted, that is. not to erupt at ail. Whenever the teeth of a child are i irregular that child suffers not only from lack of proper mastication and appearance and form of the mouth and face, tut actually from a very considerable backward pressure of' blood fri^u the region of the Jows. [ This causes adenoids and conges tion of the membranes of the nose ; and In a great many Instances per vous conditions that interfere with j the disposition and development' of the child. Irregular teeth should | be straightened at the first oppor- \ tcnity.

An illuminating statement of, how a married man proceeds when 1 no amuses himself by playing upon the emotions of a girl is detailed be. low—of course ov tht girl: "The Inarried man who employs me h is been very kind to me. Soon i after going to work for him, I found ' that when closing time came I sim ply hated to leave the office. "As we lived near each other, my employer always took me home In his car We became great friends. He told me all about himself. <1 confided my troubles to him. I am 17 years old. It happened that his wife and children were away from home for 1 week?. One nigKt he met me down town. He he was 1 nesomt and asked me to take pity on him. "I have no company like other girls. Really. I have nothing. And so I enjoyed spending tile evening with him and I must say he was a perfect gentleman. "Later I met him many times and he told me how he loved his family and how lonesome he was and how fortunate he wa? In having me to oomfort him and advise him. "goon I discovered that he is much more to me than a friend. In fact. I am madly in love with him. "But I do not see how he can care for me except as a pal when his wife is n<yj around. I want tp make it clear ttjat he never pro posed anything to which a lady could object but naturally our con versation was always pretty per sonal. He certainly knows how to put a good deal of charm into his friendship. is it wrong for me to continue to go with him evenings as I have been doing? IS IT WRONG" Is it wrong for a girl to take the time a man should give to his wife? Is it wrong for a girl to receive tho confidences which a man should make to his wife? Is stealing wrong? One wonders what has become of the old fashioned moral teaching which formerly was part of a girl's home education. One wonders how some girls manage to grow up es caping tho home grown variety of ethics. This girl. excuses to herself the desire to meet the man down town cn the ground that she "has no company like other girls." But when did the loneliness of an unat tached female become a sane excuse 'for snitching a husband from his wife and a father from his chil dren? Pernape if this girl would read her own letter as if it had been written by another, she would not continue to be in doubt as to her fu. lure conduct She will have to help herself. No body can Suva her from herself. hJet cure depends upon her courage to face the fact that the man in the case is an egotist who Hatters him self that he requires more than one woman to fill the vacuum he calls his heart. "The ego urge constitutes the difference between man and the an imals,” says one authority. It Is un happily. an insatiable urge in some indivi«)ials. Criminals are rot the only per sons possessing an exalted ego. For examp'e more than one quite fas. clnating married man is so selfish that he, never perceives what a crime he commits when he flatter* a young girl into a love affair whici is lor her own Ion:.
