horn; skirts make a big appeal
to tho youngest generation. Pre
war lengths being unknown xo
them, they find real novelty in
fashion's latest departure.
Personally I feel grateful for any
fashions doing away with unsight
ly visions such as crowded room.i
with rows of seated women most
heavily built and dozens of legs
of all sizes facing me. '
I've heard it said that there was
no reason at all not to display un
shapely legs as long as an ugly
jj nose or disproportionately largo
" mouth was not hidden from view.
As a matter of fact, no woman
ever does wear a mask because
of plain features. There is, there
fore, no reason hide a leg even
when not perfect in shape.
Hide LeTH lit 'Evening
Bp this as. it mty, women' this
season1 are expected to continue
displaying both shapely and un
shapely legs during daylight hours,
on condition that they hide them
from view In the evening
The remarkable point . of the
present fashion is that for the first
time In the history, .of' fashion two
distinct styles are worn side by
side during the same season the
Kh,ort niclrt for dnv wear, lhe loni:
one in the evening.
Long evening skirts In their
present form are not likely to re
main a permanent feature. They
are a transitory fashion, likely to
develop Into the mode of tomor
row, so fnr uninvented.

Through the operation of the

From the New York Tribune:
Whether one views Christmas
as the mystical 'celebration of an
eternal verity, us do the Tuithfui.
or merely the celebration of a
myth, us do the nnthropoloKbUr,
there la no questioning the fact of
Christmas. After hundreds of years
it still warms hearts to thankful-,
nes and generosity. It brings a
spirit of youth and rebirth int J ,
no matter what mood of the worU !
or of 1he Individual. Its ancient
fire still has power to light can-!
dies, logs, hearts.
If there were no Christmas it
would be necessary to invent one.
No sacred day of the year ex
presses a deeper conviction of the
human heart. As the emotion of
the 'day sweeps over one tho theo
logical 'debate of the hour seems
oitdly irrevelunt and far away. .
To. bo sure, this sweep . of emo
tion cannot last throughout the
year... e shall be lucky if a spark
of its good will remains In our
hands to carry us over the black
and bitter spots. Perhaps that Is
why mankind has always turned
to dogma and . ritual -to nneient
formulas and ceremonies that have
some mystical power to bring down
a. Httle' of the light . from ttje
heights into the valleys of life. . '-
But it is In the flush of the
day and the season, in the warmth
of '"affection nnti, ..adoration that
Christmas' holds, -that one sees be
yond the dogma of religion and
the dogma of science into the heart
of truth. There is worship of the
child and of womanhood. But
there iv. more than human words
have ever adequately expressed. It
is a faith in the Tightness of the
world. It Is a conviction that
honor and beauty and love are
perpetually reborn in us If we will
but accept them. There is no bet
ter word that incarnation for the'
belief that one feels: There is
no myth or alT'the ages ' that so
hutrosses - this inexpressible faith
ns dries the story of the Christ

When the present Western tour

Wo all celebrate? the day, what
ever -the definition of our faith
or agnosticism. For its truth is
written In our hearts, whether we
will or no. It is part of our price

that man can no more erase
by argument or reason, than he
can still his heart by taking

Wishing Yqu a
Merry Christmas
-Always I have loved to think
of those mysterious packages that
the piling up in. the .utioret, places
of our homes. The high shelf in
the closet for the big ones, . the
bottom drawer of the big bureau
for those thaf will permit such
bestowal. 1 catch a glimpse of
one on the shelf, and I turn, away
quickly, with a -delicious feeling
of guilt; for no amount of wrap
ping will conceal, the shape of
THAT one! -
The bureau drawer has been
left ajar a dainty perfume that
breathes through the tissue wrap
ping sends my thoughts back thru
the lng years. ... J see. my own
fingers, slim and white,Awrapping
the rose and lavender scented, gifts
of youth. ,Wtat joy and,.love and
laughter writ., into, eurh one! 1 '
Then other ChriiStmus times, and
thefpackag'ure a tirittTp bulkier ;
a heavier cord is 'needed, a little
stouter wrapping; the' fingers, too,
have grown stronger with service.
Like milestones are those Christ
mas packages along the highway
of my life. ; My fingers tremble
a little now ns they fasten tho
scarlet threads of ribbon, but I
still thrill to the secret, the mys
tery, the Joy of the Christmas
package!

' Of course people believe in
fairies, otherwiso there would not

There would be no colored lights,

believe In the baby in the manger,

the very bone apd sinew- of the

'Charity and Christmas', 1
Some years ago, Herbert Quick,
the noted author and editor, wis
strolling with a friend down Mich
igan avenue in Chicago. A, beaut
ifully dressed young society. woman
stepped up to them with an arm
ful of flowers.' .. .
. "Please buy a flower for char
ity's sake," she begged. .
Mr. Quick-looked at her for a
moment.- . ' ' .' - ;;:
", Voting woman', he-' sahtiij'what
this world needs is not 'charity ibw.
justice." . V "1 ,
In Mr. Quick's remark - Is a
thought worth cherishing. : It Is
especially appropriate at Christ
mastime, the season of giving.
Those of us who give to - the 1cm
fortunate, Instead of confining otir
presents to our prosperous rela
tives nnd friends, tire obviously do
ing the right thing. Yet. when
ve even do this, we are not go
ing far enough. Our final aim
ought to be, not to relieve poverty
hut to get rid of It. Perhaps per
fect Justice would not accomplish
this; on the ot her hn ml. perhups
