Don't be afraid to out tops of felt hats or pleats them. Suit hat toyour face and hair. A single quill or ornament is often ail the trimming needed. Tams are very easy to make. Use a dinner plate to cut by.

THE GOLDEN LUNCH TABLE

Wore all women to be asked as to their favorite colours for table linen it seems more than likely that a very large proportion of them would select yellow or green, The day of the white table cloth seems to be almost "over, since many housewives are announcing their preference for colour. Green is delightful. ref-resilinil and springlllce, cool and satisfying. But yellow has its own special ap- peal, not least in early winter days when both we and our surroundings are sadly in need of brightening up. What more attractive than on a dull winter's day than a. lunch cloth of pale gold, with plates for the several courses decorated with yellow wallfowers and coffee cups in the same cheerful pattern to fol- low?

' Too Many Beans

By ALMA SIOUX SCARBERRY

"Don't ever let one sec you. with Zanie Lou. Or wearing any of her clothes. I'll get you two maid's uni- forms. so that anyone who sees you will know what you are. Then you won't have so much luck getting in with people who wouldn't cars to know you if they knew you were a servant. You must wear the uni- forms always, except on your after- noon and evening off. I've no ob- jection to your keeping the things Zanie Lou has given you- Siic couldn't wear them now, anyway.” "Thank you." Sugar inclined her head meekly.

“You will keep to your room. or the kitchen, where you have your meals. You must enter and leave by the kitchen door only, and you must not have any visitors or use any of the telephones. You and Skeeter must stay in the back yard and I dont’ want you to take him on the street. It will save you a lot of em- barrassment. You won't be likeiy to meet anyone if you keep your place. Is that clear?"

"It is." Sugar raised her head and her brown eyes were bright with un- shed tears.

"I don't see how a girl who has been out of the o hanags only such a few clays could ave met so many men," Mrs. Le Masters said then. "You must not be at all particular about your reputation. Every time I've caught a glimpse of you you seemed to have s. different man with you. Where did you meet them?"

Sugar fumed.

"You've seen me with a boy from the orphanage, I gues," she evaded. "But I'm sure you "need have no fear of my doing anything wrong. I hadn't thought there was any parm in speaking to people who are kind to me.

"You are getting to be the talk of the town," Mrs. lie Masters sniffed. "Cart must have been out of his mind to bring you home from Pstchenb the other night. I certain- ly don't want anyone to think there's scandal going on in the house. I'm sure I don't know what to do about you. Several girls have asked me who Garth red-head is. They saw him leave Nancy Sue and go out with you the other night. I won't have it."

At that all of sugars damned up emotions broke loose. She was un- able to control herself any longer. Her employer was surprised when her meek changed and she glared back at her.

"Mrs. be Masters." she measured her words coolly, "I'm sorry. but I can't let you aay those kind of things to me without telling you the way I feel about it. Ii’ you send me away I'll just have to go.

"When I came here I thought I was going to have a home and pretty clothes and be treated like a human being. I didn't know what it meant to be a servant and to keep my Place like a colored person. Mother Friddle always made us feel

' , and I was taught that the

world was a lovely place, full of good kind people. , Mrs. In Masters found herself lis- tening. because ahe didn't quite, know what to say. Something in the girl's eyes, her bearing and her new feariessness was onpulsing.

Sugar went on. -

"Try to put yourself in my place when you were seventeen. If you had always been happy and lived when everybody Wu friendly. wouldn't you have been Just about scared in death if someone bad put down in a dirty old liar-Auk‘:

iliilllli. JZQJIIU ii you .Ui.lii(l your- self ail alone in a new world?

“I've never done a. wrong thing in my life, in so far as I know. I'm not a flirt and I don't intend cheap- ening myself with men. I wonlt drink, I won't smoke arid I won't do anything a‘ young girl shouldn't do. But I can't stand up and let you or anybody else teii ms to my face I'm not a nice girl and that everybody thinks I'm not. I'd rather be dead than have people think that about men!

Suddenly Sugars trucuient man- ner changed. l-lcr shoulders droop- de and her lip began to tremble. Mrs. Le Masters found herself feel- ing very uncomfortable. She got up and walked to the window.

"Well," she looked out to hide her confusion, and her voice was not quite so full of icc, "perhaps you have been your own worst enemy. You're young and you lust don't know how things look. I've told you now, and if you listen and do as I say, I'll not hold anything against yu.

"I blame Miss Friddle for not training her boys and girls differ- ently. After all, no one knows who you ars or where you came from- most of you. And she can't expect people to receive you with open arms like lost brothers and sisters when you come out of the orph- anage. It isn't fair for her not to teii you what to expect."

Sugar shook her head. as she

just done something naughty.

"Mrs. Le Masters, you can't raise little children that way. They have a. right to be happy. No matter-who they are. How can we help being born into this world? Haven't we a right to happiness? You would understand if you had grown up without s. father and mother. You've always had everything, so you don't iknow what unhappiness is."

"Oh, don't I," the mother said bit- terly. "Perhaps you don't know all the unhappiness I've had. Money isn't everything."

She recovered herself abruptly. There she was almost siding in with the girl she had intended to squelch so completely. She turned from the window and crossed to the door.

"You won't forget what I have told you?"

Sugar faced her squarely.

"I won't forget. I'll stay, Mrs. in Masters, because I love your baby and because he needs me. He has gained three pounds in a month. Don't you think he looks better?"

"I've no criticism at all of the way you take care of Skeeter." Mrs. Ls Masters turned abruptly and was gone.

Sugar sank into a chair. She was trembling all over from her ordeal. It didn't seem possible that Skeet- sr's mother could be such an un- bearable creatur , that anyone who had given birth to a lovely baby like he could not have softened a. iittls more toward humanity as a result of her good fortune.

Bank in her own boudoir Mrs. Ls Masters threw herself on her bed and was unused to find herself cry- ing. It had been a long time since she gave way to tears.

It was quite understandable t0 her than why her husband and the rest of the family had championed the little orphan. There was un- doubtedly something compelling about her perlonality~charm and a poise that she had found unplea- antly disconcerting. She'd stood and listened in ‘her lecture, as if she

the culprit!

. . Le Masters found herself

erin; over the question that

. faults that a man can have that are more aggravating to his wife than » Just to be wasteful with his money. And no fault, ' andering, can do more to wreck a home.

Dear Miss Dix-I am engaged to a young man whom I love vet? dearly. We agreed to savs our money in c accounts so as to be able to furnish our home when we are married. I aavedmine, but the

other day he told ms that he had saved .. . nothing, that his money had lust all 80m uhrough ’ gement. He admits that he is no manager and has offered to give me full control of the money he emu after we are married. What shall 1 do-go on W111! the marriage and make up as best I can for the money he should have saved. and didn't, toward establishing a home. or break of! with my fiance? In spite of what has lief!- pened I still love him dearly, ANXIOUS.

Answer: ,

You can't put s cu}; value on love and break o8 your gagement for no other rea- son than that your fiance has holes in his pockets. You would always regret it if you did, though I'll admit that there are fsw

not even drink or phil-

So you are wise to consider the “ of marrying a spendthrift very seriously, and your decision should depend largely upon your opinion of how sincere he is about letting you manage the family finances after marriage. If he is really and truly going to turn over his pay cnvelqe to you, well and good, but if his promise to make you secretary o1 the home treasury is Just a campaign promise, then not so well and good, You will spend the balance of your life standing of! tbs butcher and the baker and wrestling with bill collectors and wondering where the next month's rent is coining from, and that is not a pleasant prospect for any woman to look forward to.

One of the dearest delusions of nearly every man's heart is that he is n Napoleon of Finance and that he knows far more about handling money than any woman could possible know. That is the reason so many men refuse to give their wives an allowance and dole out. the market money. And this belief is not shaken by the fact that in many households the wife has far more money sense than the husband, and that virtually any nitwit sort of a woman can get more out of a dollar than any banker can. For women are bargain hunters by nature and men aren't.

Curiously enough the ability to make money and the ability to spend it wisely or save it are not the same talent, and many a, man who is a good money earns: is totally incapable of ogring for what ha makes. Soma- times he is a spender and wastes it in buying foolishness, Sometimes he is an easy mark for every grs-f-ter and deadbeat who comes his way. Some- times he cannot resist gambling as long as he has s. penny in his pocket. Sometimes it Just slips through his fingers wiigout hi; ever kndwing where it went. ‘

Generosity, impulsiveness, warrh-hesrfedness, optimism, ,ths very qualities that. make a man a waster also make him lovable. But they d0 not make him a desirable husband, because in the end it in the‘ wife and the children who have to pay for the husband's and father's lack of thrift. It is the wife who has to go shabby because her husband lent all the money to a drunken crony, or lost it at poker. It is little Johnny who has to go without shoes because father subscribed $5 for a floral offer- ing for some one whose name he scarcely knew.

when a man recognizes that he has holes in his pockets, i1 he has any intelligence at all he lets his wife sew them up. He keeps out for him- self Just what he needs for his expenses and turns the balance of his sei- ary over to the Little Woman, who has a. Yale lock on her pocketbook and knows how to keep it shut. Nor need any man feel that this humiifates him in any way or makes him dependant on his wife. In any event the money would go for the support of the family and she is just being the disbursing officer. i 1 '

And-if he needs m be bolstered up by the example of others, I can assure him that I know personally many famous men, some of them art- ists and writers, who let their wives handle all of the money they make. They recognize their limitations and know that their gifts do not, lie along financial lines. I was once told by an officer on whose ship he sail- ed that the immortal Kipling went to his wife for money every time he wanted a pack of tobacco.
