You will sometimes see a woman whose age Is as exquisite as was the perfect bloom of her youth. = She seems condensed sweetness and grace. You wonder how this has come about; you wonder how It is her life bas been a long and happy one. Here are some of the reasons: She knew how to forget disagree- able things = She understood the art of enjoy- ment. She kept her nerves well in hand, and inflicted them on no one. She beliéved in the goodness of her own daughters and that of her neighbors. 8he cultivated a good digestion. She mastered the art of saying pleasant words. She did not expect too much from | friends. She made what work came to her congenial. 7 - She retained her illusions, and did not believe that all the world was wicked and unkind.

T know of countless Wwell-furn- ished homes which do not contain even one dainty or artistic waste basket. Perhaps the secret of this condi- tion lies in the fact that one can- not very easily find pretty scrap bas- kets in the shops. The metal ana wooden ones are preferable to .he wicker ones--but the best of them frequently refuse to harmonize with the color schemes of our rooms. The clever home-maker, however, can overcome this difficulty by making her own baskets as follows: For the Bedroom: Buy a plain, cheap, wicker scrap basket and cov. er it all over with bld-rose or old- blue silk. Over this silk put a cov- ering of gold net (or perhaps mere- ly panels of gold net).- Frill the top with a lHttle gold lace caught, here and thers, with tiny blue and pink silk roses, This is a typical French waste basket, especially appropriate for a bedroom. For the Living Room: The Living room may not have a frilly, dainty basket such as the bedroom has. Downstairs the waste baskets should be dignified and artistic, Their col-| rR ag aE ors must be more subdued. Buy a plain reed basket (not the kind witna | | bars, but the sort that is made solil-- ty like a sweet-grass basket), If its color does not blend well with yom color scheme, paint it an appropriate shade. Wooden and metal baskets may also be painted to match the dominant color in a room. But be sure that the basket has good lines. | Large, generous baskets with straight lines are best for the down. ' staire room (though upstairs they may bé as slender and as fantastic in shape as you please). For the Dining' Room: It is often convenient to have a waste basket in | the -dining room--especially if a| small window desk is a part of the furnishings. The dining room Scrap | basket need not be quite as severe | as those in living room, music room | or library. It may be cretonmne-cov- | ered to match the window over-| drapes, or burlap-covered In the' same shade as the portieres or rug. For the Child's Bedroom: An ap- propriate strap backet for a child's room can be made by cutting four | square panels out of stiff cardboard, covering these with linen on which | you have appliqued colored Mother | Goose cutouts, then lacing or tying! these panels together (with ribbon) to form a box-like structure. Put in a bottom piece, and the work is fin- ished. Tomorrow--Planning the New Year's Dinner. All inquiries acdressed to Miss Kirkman in 'cars of the.

That dressing the hair in quaint fashion is quite the thing in New York with the bouffant old-time frocks, and the hair is coiffed in the simplest types, parting it at the side or middle and drawing it down to a low knot in the neckline or, as in the case with most, the shingle bob. parted in the side or middle and brushed close to the head all around, That Mr. and Mrs, Boris Ham- bourg, Toronto, were given a notable wedding reception in Jenkins' Art Gallery recently, at which Toronto's best known literary and artistic peo- ple were present.
