If rest, less, a few drops soon bring con tentment. No harm done, for Cas toria Is a baby remedy, meant for babies. Perfectly safe to give the yonngest infant; you have the doc. tor' word for that? It la a vege table product and you could use It every day.- Bat It's in an emer gency that Castoria means most. Some night when -constipation must be relieved or colic pains or other suffering. Never be without it; some mothers keep an extra bottle, unopened, to make sure there will always be Cas toria in the house.' It Is effective for oldsr children, too; read the book that eomes wltu It. i 9 In Concert MISS IDA MATHEWS, ' cello Is with the Florentine Trio, which will offer Instrumental numbers at the MacDowell club chorus Christinas concert Thurs day.

A collapsible parchment lampshade, a pair of aluminum bookends, a sturdy mohair bed spread and two mohair cushion covers are the home-making paraphernalia of Ruth, a clever travelling saleslady, of our ,ac qualntance. Immediately upon . being assigned to her room, Ruth unfolds the accessories, and within five minutes has the most Impersonal room glowing with personality. Only once' did this bit of cleverness fall, she said, and that was when the room was done in a lurid orchid and her own color: .scheme was poppy red on tan. Bridge players alone are con. sistent in. their hobby: other, gamesters allow their fervor to flame and then to die. Season after season games come and go; but this year games are coming back for a time. Ping pong and all poker chip games, neglected . tor months, are just passes enough to be novel. All over the east the sales on these games are running high. A suggestion, by the way, for Christmas gifts for any age or sex.. i - , rt-' -To carry one's own bedding . for a pnllman berth ordinarily is absurd, but the Continental . women hare accepted this nov elty with, avidity within the past two months.

Dark street dresses and dark velvet turbans worn by brides maids who surrounded a bride in shining white sounded hid eous to us when we-heard of it, but the wedding photographs of Miss Hope Livermore of New York prove that the unique combination is attractive. Fur. thermore. it is significant of the invasion of the turban into the most formal phase of for mality. The hats may have feathers this season, for the fans do not. Fans! they must be feminine, but velvet and muslin. In petal led and flu to! designs, are the materials for fans. The actress, Gertrude Law rence, who introduced the wed. ding ring-band necklet and the opal nail polish craze, has adopted a new color combina tion which. If the past may be an augur for the future, will become popular. - " Usually an " addict to at least one green cos tume In every production.

Christmas greetings are be ing sent from Paris this year in a pictorial manner. Beau, tiful. woodcuts, of the madon na, or carollers, or other con- r ventional- designs, cover the entire face of the greeting fold ers, while the written senti ment, in not more than three words, is tersely captioned in the lower margin. The most attractive of those we saw had such brief messages as 'Joyeux -Noel.' A Perfect Yuletide," and ;'To Your Happiness." mm A revival of the humane so. ciety- movement will be forth coming soon as a reaction to the new trend of abundant feathering on all. hats. The most prominent assertion of this mode is in the close felt adorned with the skins of sea grouse. However, small quills are a sport- version of this new -fashion and within a short time it is predicted that all types of feathers will be Just one more Indication of the new feminity. The topic of pajamas Is no longer confined to the discus, eion of negligee at two recent dinners on Long Island, all women appeared In more for mal pajamas ensembles in sat ins and metallic cloths. One i. bit of finesse which must be observed however, is tbe abso lute necessity of wearing only square toed mules with such -garb. The other type of mule toe seems to be the distin guishing point of the boudoir pajama. ' Abbreviated pajames with panties the length and style of running trunks are one of the latest innovations for the great.' er comfort of the sleeping hours It is true that one's full-length- pajama i legs -? are Usually huddled uncomfortably .

The public Interest in the first play production to be given this season by the year-old Drama Lea gue is manifested by the number of inquiries concerning seats at the theatre which have been re- about the knees whenever one awakens, so it Is logical that the elimination of this excess baggage would be an upward trend in civilized courterie.
