POPULAR FIBRE SILK VESTS, Every year, after the Christmas season, I like to go among my friends and see the fancywork gifts they received, I have just com- pleted my annual survey and - here with report upon The Best Christ- mas Gift I saw: To judge from my own locality, the dainty hand-made silk vest was the most popular' Christmas present in 1923. I saw them everywhere And as I examined them, lying in their pretty holly. boxes, I said to myself: "Why didn't I think of making them to give to my friends? The are both dainty and inexpensive ~--those two chief requisites for an ideal gift." But although Christmas is over; 1 believe that my Reader Friends will nevertheless like to have me describe these differently trimmed vests. For they would be equally appropriate to ues birthday or engagement gifts, My first statement, in describing them, is that they can be made for $2 apiece. Of eourse I cannot give actual rés concerning the trim- mings, hug I can give a fairly wac- curate imate of the cost of 'the fibpe silk from which they are made.

Money may be placed In jeopardy either by specu- lation or {ll-secured investment, since Jupiter is unfriendly. Saturn adds to the unpropitious situaton; therefore the best advice is to re- fain quiet and keep a firm grasp on affairs in hand. Those whose birthday it is should attend strictly to business, shunn- ig speculation and postponing ime 'lant change or journeys.
