' ' A J THI5 woman who could not choose, thia Winter between the veil with a beauty upot, and the veil with a frame effect, may be suited at last, for hero Is a new Spring veiling which shows -both the spot ami the frame. The frame effect is of shadow mesh veiling lnclosintf tine, invisible net within a ring of tiny chenille dots. The beauty spot may be made to come over any part of the face, on the cheek, near a dimple or Just below one eye, by the adjustment of the veil on the hat. Dancinpr will fio on, this fepring and Summer, wherever there Is a level boardwalk or even a patch of hard sand for foet to trip on. The tans;o parasol Is the latest addition to the dancing costume. It has a curled up edare so that its possessor may peer under it, and, incidentally, so ttiat its ribs may not endanger ber partner's eyes. The tango parasol pictured Is white, with a black linlnar and accompanies a frock of green pussy willow taffeta. Rather original are the pictured ploves of embroidered kid, which are of course intended to carry out In kid the Idea of the embroidered silk gloves co popular with Summery costumes. The gloves In the picture accompany a very smart Spring tailleur of wool and mohair mixture in a bright shade of navy blue, the little coat being of moire silk in the same shade.

PORTLAND, Feb. 21 A pleasant way to make money Is to write household hints. I received 525 last "Winter from one magazine alone, besides what I received from other pub lications. The usual price paid is $1 each, though some magazines pay as much as $5, while others pay only 25 cents. No special literary ability is needed, simply a clear and definite idea of a better way to do something, and a plain, practical way of expressing it. The market for these hints is very wide, consisting of most of the wom en's and household magazines, the farm papers, many of the newspapers and trade publications. The back num bers of the Editor at the Public Library will give one a god list of the publi cations to which one may send them. Every hint should be written on a separate piece of paper, with the writer's name and address in the up per left-hand corner. A sheet of ordi nary business size letter paper cut into three pieces Is best, and one can send from 10 to 12 hints at a time for 2 cents postage. MRS. J. K.- Girl 14, Tells Iter Plan. HOOD RIVER. Or., Feb. 21. Last Summer I learned to make tattin?. It was not long before I could make It very rapidly. One night a friend was here. When I showed her my tatting she thought it was pretty. She gave me an order to make tatting to trim six handkerchiefs for her to give Christmas. I made three white ones and a blue and lavender one. When the work was finished my friend was pleased with it. I got 25 cents a yard for the work. After that I had all the orders I could fill. I had some orders for spool and shuttle work. I made it out of 50 white thread. I did not have any trouble getting 50 cents a yard. When I had more orders than I could fill my sister would help me make It. MARION RAND.

"They want me to marry a man twice my age, because he has lots of money," Marion, a girl of 20, writes. Frequently I fm asked for advice on this problem of marrying for love or money. It's no new problem to the world, to be sure. Neither are any of the prob lems of love! They've been with us since the beginning of time. But to a young girl who is in love with a young man and being forced Into a money marriage with one twice or thrice her age it is a tremendously serious thing. Is It the pinch of poverty that cal louses the hearts of parents and makes them willing to sacrifice a fresh younsr soul and a Ircfch young- face and body -- s ' ' t 9" " ill Jaunty little tailored coats that are cut to a v at the front.

There are many ways In which a clever woman can make money, and The Oregonian wants to know what they are, for the benefit of Its women readers. One dollar will be paid for each idea accepted. Manuscripts should give the necessary details In 150 to 300 words. Explain the Idea carefully so that others may follow it If they wish. If so stipulated, names will not be published, but all contributions must be stffned by the authors and authors' home addresses given. No manuscripts can be re turned.

In the morning boil all together for 10 minutes. Again stand over night. The third morning add measure for measure of sugar and boil until it Jells, two hours or more. This will make 12 glasses or more, and sells readily for 20 cents a glass. S. W. E. Raising Ponies One Plan. PORTLAND. Feb. 21. I have a young woman friend living on a farm not far from Portland who raises Shetland ponies. They are very hardy and easy to raise if one has a suitable place. They cat comparatively little and al most entirely support themselves, ranging through the woods and pas tures surrounding the farm. To my certain knowledge she has found it profitable and easy work. KATHARINE GILBERT. Bluokberries Offer Income.' HOOD RIVER, Or., Feb. 21. Any woman who has a back yard can raise raspberries and mammoth blackberries enough to supply the neighborhood and receive 10 cents for every box. They must be set in a sunny place and have plenty of water. The mammoth black berry is sweet and often grows to be two Inches In length. MRS. L. N. BLOWERS. on the money altar? Or, is it just plain greed? Parents who bring up their daughters to believe that the only suitors worth while are moneyed men and that love counts' for little or nothing in married life are doing a tremendous wrong. Marriage is not moral simply be cause it is legal. There are circuip stances in which marriage can be flag rantly immoral. And nothing, I con tend, can be more immoral than forc ing a partnership even if it is a legal ized one when it is repugnant to one or both parties. If it is intolerable for the woman, the very fact that it is in tolerable proves that It is immoral. When marriage is merely a partnership between man and woman recognized by the law I believe it to be an immoral partnership. If money means more to your par ents than does your own happiness, Marlon, I would advise you to defy parental authority and to follow the dictates of your own heart. Love not over points which give the calla lily effect. The collar may open Just be low the throat, or quite low on the neck. The lower the opening the more graceful and flower-like the effect. wealth is the greatest gift the gods can bestow. And marriage without love makes a dreary abode of the most wonderful palace in the world. Wealth can supply luxuries. It can buy homage and fame. But it can not buy one throb of love.

WITH one of the coquettish,' short jacketed Spring suits, made of . silken stuff, draped upward to reveal high-heeled buttoned boots, clipped off in the 'sleeves to display gloves of embroidered silk, and panionship, mutual pleasures and the laughter that makes the blood bound through the veins should be held dearer to youth than all the wealth in thejworld. 'Breaklog EDgagemcBiH, Some people hold that an engagement once made should never be broken. This is wrong. If a girl finds she has been deceived, trapped into giving her promise under a wrong idea of her lover's character, or even circumstances, she Is certainly justified in withdrawing: from her en gagement. To break off an engagement, how ever, because her lover's circumstances have altered through no fault of his own and without any deception on his part, or because some misfortune, phys ical or otherwise, has befallen him. shows a girl in the bad light of a fair weather friend or mere mercenary self lover. If, however, a girl should find her lover has serious faults hitherto un suspected, such wide divergence of character and views of fundamental truths as must ultimately lead to es trangement, she should pause before it is too late. If she, on searching her heart, dis covers that the feeling she took for love was really that compound of lik ing, pleased vanity, and the desire to be settled in life, which many girls are satisfied with under the name of love then for the sake of both it would be wise to draw back in time. . Some engagements are entered into so lightly that it seems quite natural that they should come to an end. There can be no question of honor about them. The young man Is attracted by the girl's pretty face. He likes to go about with her and enjoy all the priv ileges of an engaged lover. But he has no serious intentions. The girl is no more in earnest and is not in the least deceived. By and by it comes to an end almost imperceptibly. The young couple just drift asunder without any formal "breaking off." Little harm has been done, for neither was in earnest. But the girl has lost some of her freshness. The bloom has been brushed from the peach, the dew shaken from the flower. Shall She Waltf Dear Miss Blake: I have been goln? for several years with a young man whom -I believe I love. He has never really seriously asked me to marry him, although he seems to take it for granted that I' will when he has enough monly. I am also well acquaint ed with another- young man, who wants to marry me right away. He has money. The first one does not know about the second. Would you advise me to get married now to this second young man, who Is congenial to me and whom I like very well, or wait an indefinite time for the first? I am 22. I think that y-ou will be happier to wait even though the waiting be long for the man whom you love. You are not so old that you need fear spinster hood, t She Refused Him. Dear Miss Blake: I am a pretty young school teacher of 20. I have been keep ing company with a handsome 'young man for two years. I have reasons to think that he loves me dearly. Recently I received a proposal from him asking me to become his wife and take up a Western claim In Mon tana. At the time I didn't think that I loved him enough, but since then I have regretted my decision. I love him dearly, and wish that I had answered differently. Flcase advise me. VIVIAN R. I think that it would be proper for you to write a little note to the young man and ask him to call upon you. You could show him by your attitude to ward him that you were fond of him, and I am sure that he would renew the proposal. She Doesn't Love Him. Dear Miss Blake: I am a girl of 15 and I do not like the boys. But there is a young man wants to go with me. I do not like him, but he loves me. I would like to know how to tell him that I do not love him. A. E. S. You are too young to be thinking of love. Tell the boy frankly that you do not want him to .bother you until you are older. That surely should be plain enough to him. She's If He's SO. Dear Miss Blake: I. have been reading your good advice to others. Do you think it wrong for a girl of 22 to go with a man of 39? Would you say "do not marry" even If they both loved each other? ' N. M. Love will surmount many difficulties, even a difference in ages. If you truly love each other you will be happily married. Practical Shopping Bag of Fine Pin Four Others Arrive. trimmed fetchingly with tassels, sash bows and frills of lace, a stern seal leather handbag with leather handles and a square frame would be quite out of the picture. The elaborate tailored suit of the moment demands a dressy handbag, just as it demands the soft, graceful gloves and the coquettish but toned boot. Five new handbag styles have ar rived from Paris. One is a practical shopping bag of fine pin seal and moire silk in panel effect. This bag is nearly eight inches deep and has a sturdy leather strap handle. Inside is a lin ing of black moire silk with a white kid lined inner pocket containing: van ity belongings. Another attractive bag Is of bro caded moire silk with handles of black ribbon fastened with silver slides. A striking feature of this bag is the clasp, made of two little silver, ele- pnants, tusK to tusk. , Still another is a matinee bag of LITTLE DINNER DURING LENT DELIGHTFUL FETE Informal Affairs, Including Dancing or Auction, Enliven Season and Enable One to Repay Numerous Social Obligations. ALTHOUGH Lent Is supposed to be a period of fasting and scourg ing of the flesh, the fasting; In fashionable society, is rather from the dissipation of social gayety than, from the deljghts of the table, and the flesh scourging takes the form of special massage treatments for face and figure during the weeks of semi leisure. Many informal dinners, with dancing or auction afterward in the drawing-room, enliven the period when impressive, formal affairs are fore sworn. There Is no more delightful way of entertaining than by the "little din ner" which repays all social -obligations and which is easier for the aver age hostess to manage than an ex pensive dance or reception or even a large bridge with its necessary pro vision of tables, chairs, prizes, tallies and more or less elaborate refresh ment. If the menage is a modest one, with only one or two maids, a dinner of more than lo people should not be attempted. Three or four small din ners of eight people will pay off a number of obligations at not a great deal of trouble or expense to the hos tess, and if the guests ace selected carefully to insure congeniality, the little dinners will be successful and de lightful affairs. Plan the menu so that it will not be too great a strain on the cook. Salad, dessert and even soup may be served cold and prepared early in the day. The entree may also be prepared early and set on the top shelf of the oven to heat through just before serving. This will leave only the roast and vegetables for the top of the stove In the busy last moments in the kitchen. Do not invite a larger number of dinner guests than your store of china, glass and silver will easily take care of. If forks and spoons must be washed during the process of the dinner con fusion will be sure to result in the kitchen and an embarrassing wait may occur, or worse still, a mortifying evi dence to your guests that this econ omical management has been neces sary. Set the table with fresh linen, polished glass and silver in the morn ing and have your lunch served up stairs on a tray. There will be noth ing to do at the last moment but add the flowers and Instead of wearily and nervously arranging the table late in the afternoon, you may take a half hour nap and freshen up before dressing. Place cards add to the attractiveness of the table and facilitate the seating of the guests. The honored masculine guest sits at the right hand of the Menus of the "Week Tuesday.

Air the dining-room by leaving the win dows open all the afternoon and while the room must be warm at the begin ning of dinner because of the women's thin costumes, a window in the ad joining room should be open, with a screen placed to avoid a direct draught on anybody's bare shoulders. Cocktails or fine old sherry are sometimes served in the drawing-room before dinner to promote appetite. White wines should be served with pysters, soup and entree; burgundy with the meat, and champagne only toward the end of the dinner as it de stroys the appetite if taken too early in the meal. Tokay is a dainty des sert wine, served In fragile glasses. Coffee and cordial may be served in the. drawing-room after dinner is overJ And finally, or rather first of all, be sure to let the servants understand that for the extra service and trouble on their part there will be a bonus added to the month's wages.

Bess: The best blood-cleanser I know Is kardene because it acts on the liver and kidneys and if. as you say, you are troubled with severe and constant headaches, it is an indication that your kidneys and blood need attention. To prepare, put one ounce kardene (from the drug store) into one-half pint alco hol (whisky should not be used), then add one-half cupful sugar and hot water to make a full quart. A table spoonful before meals is the dose. This kardene tonic gently expels poisonous waste from the body and tones up the Internal organs so they can do their work.

The method of removing bad com plexions by absorption seems to have come into general use in this country. Ordinary mercolized wax, applied nightly like cold cream and erased mornings with warm water, gradually absorbs the coarse, faded or discolored outer film skin in almost invisible particles. Soon there's a brand new complexion, formed by the younger, healthier under-skin. No cosmetic or artificial treatment can possibly pro duce a complexion of such radiant, youthful loveliness. Druggists all have mercolized wax; it is seldom, that more than one ounce is necessary. Thousands have also reported great success with the famous saxolite wrinkle-removing formula. One ounce of pure powdered saxolite is dissolved in a half-pint witch hazel and the solution used as a face wash. The effect is almost magical. The deepest wrinkles and crow's feet, as well as the finest lines whether due to age, illness, weather or worry completely and quickly vanish. No one need hesitate to try this simple lotion, as it won't harm any skin. Adv. Sy Betty Dean her flesh down and who can blame lier, now that present styles demand slim ness?
