Christmas once more, with joy sub- lime, . Directs our thought, o'er space and ime, , , , gTo far-off Bethlehem. Where, through the livelong hours of night, From evening until morning light, Shepherds their viglls keep.

To them, amend, an angel bright, Enswatlrd in robes of dazzling light,

essage brings ye watchmen

A wondrous Dismiss your fears, true, For tidings good I bring to you, And to all men beside.

To you, upon this hallowed morn, In David's city there is born,

“A Savious, Christ the Lord. Then suddenly, from hosts above! A multitude, in radiant love,

On earth the angel join.

“Glory to God," in highest praise, They, their celestial voices raise, "And peace, good will to men." The vision fades, the host departs. The shepherds go, with trembling hearts. To see the new-born King.

The crowded inn afforfs no place, For noblest scion of our race, He in a manger lies, What gracious condescension there! What mystery, beyond compare, That God with men should dwell!

With reverence deep, the shepherds VlCW, And pay the loyallromage dug To Christ, their Saviour Lord, Their quest is ended. They return. What. raptures in their hosoms burn, . As praise to God they give.’

Now all abroad, whilst on their way, They tell to men, on that glad day,

What they have seen and heard

Their minds lllum‘d great wonder know

And far and wide the tidings flow Of prophecies fulfilled!

We in a later time may view, By living faith, our Saviour too, Andloygl service give. By deed and word where'er we stay, Tell all around, as well we may, What He for us hath done.

WOMEN LACKING IN KNOWLERGE VITAL ‘FINANCE

Mrs. Lorraine L. Blair, of Chi- cago, organizer of the women's finance forum, finds that women generally cannot answer simple questions 0n finance which would vitally concern their families’ future if they were widowed.

She gave a list oi’ ten questions she said she had propounded be- fore women's clubs to show the members how little they were in- formed on famil, financial matters. The question were:

l-las your husband a. will?

Do you know the difference be- tween a stock and a bond?

Do you know where your band's safety deposit box is?

Is there a second beneficiary on yuor husband's insurance policy?

What would you do if your hus- band died tonight?

To whom would you go for fi- narcial advice?

Do you know how much you should inherit from his estate? How would you invest any money

from the estate?

_._____-_---- A pretty manicurist has nailed" many a man.

Never play with fire unless you have money to burn.

The faster the man the bigger are his running expenses.

It is surprising how short a time 1t takes some people to talk lw much- .

When a man's wife is just a nag. she must expect him to follow the races.

The fellow who does nothing but shoot off his‘ mouth seldom has an aim in life.

Many a man seems to; feel he should get a. hero's medal for be- ing good to his wife.

Success consists not so much in sitting up nights as in being awake in the daytime.

Man is the only animal that gets the biggest kick out of things that aren't good for him.

Some women are envious of oth- er women because other women have what some women would be glad to have.

FLAVOR OF HONEY

The flavor of honey is due to the aromatic substances found in the nectar of flowers. Since bees gather nectar from so many kinds of flow- ers, there are many flavors of honey. The lighter colored honeys, such as cloversorange. alfalfa and blends of these honeys are mlder in flavor and finer for general use in salads, sauces, with fruits, sand- wiches, cakes and light cookies. The dark honeys are splendid for gingerbread, fruit cakes, plum pud- dings, steamed puddings such as suet- Indian and the like, nut cook- ies and spiced cider.

CANTOWS WIFE GIVES FOR- MULA FOR HAPPY LIFE

.To be a successful wife, a woman must be willing to submerge her own ambitions.

This is the success formula set forth b_ Ida Cantor. who celebrated_ her twenty-first wedding anniver- sary with Eddie Cantor during the shooting of “Shoot the Chutes," the famous comedians new Samuel

Goldwyn musical for release through United Artists. "Eddie and I started married life

with nothing but a great love and a lot of ambition,“ said Mrs. Cantor. "And right at the start we made this rule for success: When it tame to business, Eddie was to be boss; but when it. came to the management of our household, I was to be boss.

"If you think it's a bad system. try it yourself, It's worked for twenty-one years for us."

GFILMAN FRAULEIN CULTIVATES SLIM LINES

v

“Every day I am getting slim- mer and slimmer." This is the creed of the German Fraulein.

Fashion shows of German models for export have taken place in Ber- lin, attended by buyers from many lands, including about a dozen from Great Britain. A striking feature is the extreme sllmness of the waist and hips in many of the models displayed —and thus a saving of yards of material.

An official at one of these shows said: "German designers are now definitely aiming at slim lines. We find that clothes which emphasize nea‘. waist are the most popular with German girls. 'I'hey are also the most legant for export.

“German girls are not at all like the caricatures of lumpy ‘fraulelns’. They are bent on keeping their fig- ures as good as anybody else's. They do not do this so much by dieting as by vigorous gymnastics, which are scientifically planned to reduce surplus fat."

of good hairdressers and beautici- ans. To prove this, all you have to do is look at a few before and after pictures of various stars.

For instance. when one star first played in pictures, her hair was fuzzy instead of sleek and allowed to billow about her cheeks and to dip far down over her forehead. Her widow's peak was lost completely. Her nice profile was hidden. Even her eyes were overshadowed.

Now, however, thanks to the coif- fure experts and to a new trend in hair styles, her locks are shorter and they're brushed backward from her face. Ker widow's peak shows. Her face has a neuter look and her eyes are accentuated.

If you like little curls just in front of your ears, see that the; are extremely small and not especially fluffy. Remember that parts which do not extend all the way from front to back are generally more flattering. The shorter parts. per- haps even a crooked one that slants upward form the middle of your head.

Remember, too, that a flat line across the back adds allure to a nicely shaped head. Most of the actresses have the front and sides waved but wear the back perfectly straight. One lovely player has two wide waves on the left side of her head, one on the right, a large bun at the back and not even a sugges- tion of a wave about it.

"TEA-I-‘OR-TWO PERMITTED IN OXFORD ROOMS

_,____ Ohaperon rules affecting women at Oxford university have been relaxed.

Hitherto an undergraduate could not have a woman undergraduate in his room without a chapel-on, but women are now no longer for- bidden to go to undergraduates’ rooms, whether in college or lodg- ings, during the afternoon.

The notice adds: "They may go to the men's rooms up to 7.15 pm. without their being a second wo- man with them."

A woman undergradute said: "I think the notice announcing the concession might very well have

been issued without the reminder that such permission is ‘intended to cover occasional visits only.’

"It is a step in the right direc- tion, however, and we are looking forward to the time when the ridiculous rule that a woman may not go out with an undergraduate in his car without permission, and then only when a second woman is present will also be a thing of the

past."

It's the Woman Who Stands by Her Man, no Matter What His Troubles — Reverse the l Situation, and the Man Flees

One of the favorite topics of discussion between youths and maidens is the question of which sex is capable of the deepest and moat abiding passion; which loves more-men or women?

..._.__-_.._. Long ago a poet. settled titil wbblem b! declaring that “man's love is of man’: llfc a thing apart, ‘tls woman's whole tacos";

> an opiniOn which seem: w be pretty well cul- tained by the evidence we loc lll about uc. And pow comes along the Warden of a. State ltgkrlitentiary who clinches the matter by cay-

.__.__._.

"A woman prisoner 1| tbs ‘forgotten woman,’ so far, at least, as her husband sou. I cannot recall when a husband ever came to see his wife in prison. Wives seldom for- get their husbands who are behind the walla. but husbands never remember their wives. It ts a common sight to see a woman plead for her husband's release from prison, but per-

sonally I have never known of a single husband who has shown that interest in his wife?" .

Apparently, from the Wardens observation. husbands are fair- weather lovers and their affections do not stand the strain of public dis- grace as women's d0.‘ It is the wives who, on every visiting d5)’. 3°99 faithful tryst with their mates and whisper words of tenderness and cheer to them through the bars, and who wait outside of prison gates to take be poor, broken, degraded creatures back, and to so throw about them the cloak of their love that they hide their shame even from their Own eyes- But the woman criminal has no husband's love to sustain her, and when she comes out of jail she finds she has lost everything. Even her man.

Of course there are exceptions to every rule that attempts to classify human hearts. There are many men who love deeply, truly, warmly and faithfully, and there are women who are as cold as an Arctic night and utterly incapable of any affection for any one but themselves. But, tak- ing it by and large, 1t is undoubtedly true that the feminine is the emo- tional sex, and that love plays a far greater part in their lives than it does in men's. Apparenly Nature has endowed them with a peculiar fac- ulty, not possesse‘ by men, that enables them to leave the unlovable, and stick to those on whom they have set their affections, no matter how much they revile and mistreat them.

There is not a day on which I do not get pitiful letters from women who tell me they are married to brutes who have dragged them down into the gutter with them, who starve them and beat them and curse them, but who end their tales of woe by saying they cannot leave their husbands because they love them still. 1n every police court there are dozens of battered, bedraggled women who lie about the bruises their husbands have given them and claim that they got their black eyes 0r bloody heads by falling against a door.

That woman's love is more enduring than man's is a fact so obvious it needs no confirmation. Only too often a man's love vanishes with his wife's youth and beauty, but you never hear of a woman ceasing to care for a good, kind, intelligent husband because he has acquired e. bay win- down and lost most of his hair. Indeed, it has become so common for mid- dle-aged men to forsake their wives for flapper-s that it scarcely raises a ripple of gossip. But for a middle-aged woman to divorce per middle- aged husband for a boy sheik is so rare it creates a. scandal that Bots on the front page of the newspapers. -

It is also taken as a matter of course that a. wife's love is great enough to meet every vicissitude of matrimony. We expect a wife, for instance, when her husband falls sick to give up he» pleasures and aluu-rzlents and patiently nurse him through his illness, no matter if that involves years of invalldlsm. And none of us, not even the husband, hands her any bou- quets for the sacrifices she makes But let wife get tick and all that we expect. of husband is for him to poke his head in the door and ask how she feels, remark he is no good in a sick room and beat it for the ciubAnd when a husband does sit and hold a. wife's hand or care for her patiently through years of illness, we decorate him with a martyrs halo and sing his praises in the marketplace.

That men themselves acknowledge that women's love is greater than their own ls proved by the fact that they expect their wives to forgive them the things that they would never-forgive their wives for doing,
