IN THE WOODS
The great trees of the woods were
talking. It was dark and cool and
still and only the moon shone through
from time to time just to see that all
was well and to hear a few words of
whatjrfvns going on.
The branches of the trees swayed a
little for Mr. Wind was paying visits
about, and as he hurried along he was
saying a how-do-you-do to all his
friends and they were answering him.
“Before long the spring will be here.
It is a little while off as yet, but be
fore long it will come,’’ said one of
the evergreen trees. “It will be beau
tiful then.
“Buds will appear and blossoms
and soft delicate leaves and then love
ly strong green leaves will be the re
sult.
“But I am glad we are of the great
woods and of the evergreen family.
“Ah yes, that is the best of all.”
And then Mr. Moon peeped in and
said:
“May I tell you a story?”
The deep woods were all aflutter
with excitement. Every one of the
big, magnificent trees, and the shorter,
The Lovely Dark Green Trees.
strong, splendid little green trees
waved and swayed a little with the
joy they were to have in a story told
them by Mr. Moon.
“Yes,” Mr. Moon continued, “and It
Is a true story.”
“Won’t you sit down, Mr. Moon?”
they asked.
“I’m too big, I thank you kindly, but
I’ll just look through while I stay on
my sky perch.
“I speak as though I were a bird,
don’t I? But I’m not. I fancy you
all know that.”
The great trees laughed in their low,
soft voices, and a murmuring as of
music was heard throughout the for
est. It was the echo of the laughter
In the great woods.
“Last Christmas,” said Mr. Moon,
“I was about in my usual way, look
ing at this and looking at that, and I
particularly noticed the city streets.
“For some time around the Christ
mas holidays the streets in so many
places were lined with Christmas trees
for sale.
“They were everywhere. And they
had been brought for miles so that
the city could have some Christmas
trees for decorations.
“Everyone looked so happy and of
course I could see how they would ad
mire the lovely dark green trees.”
The trees of the great woods bowed
politely at the compliment.
“But I found out what made the
people even happier than looking at
the trees.
“That was being able to have a
real whiff of the deep woods.
“They took long, deep breaths of it
and they smiled.
"Yes, for just a little, little while
the woods had gone to the cities and
the people In the cities were happy
with a great, great happiness.
“Some had lived near the woods
when they were young. Others had
never known anything save the cities
and pavements and the lights of many
stores, and they loved this beautiful
fragrance of the woods, which is the
loveliest fragrance In the world.”
Once again the trees of the deep
woods bowed and Mr. Moon added:
“I know, too. I know the world
pretty well, you know.”
That made the compliment even
finer and the trees bowed and swayed
again and then they sang a song:
We rejoice that we
Or our fam-i-ly
Gave Joy this year
And also cheer,
When they went to the city;
For they said. "It's a pity
For town people to miss
The fragrance of this
Which we bring from afar."
Ho we rejoice that we
Or our fam-l-ly
Gave joy this year
And also cheer.
“Ah yes, they gave great cheer and
great Joy,” said Mr. Moon, “and they
made the people so happy. And I
knew you’d like to hear of their recep
tion in the cities so I told yon this
storj — w bich Is a true story as I said.”
SIMPLE DUDS ARE
MORE SERVICEABLE
Modest Outfit Has More Dis>
tinction Than Conspicu
ous Model.
To no one is an attractive appearance
more essentlnl than to the business
girl. While clothes do not make the
woman, nevertheless they have a lot
to do with the impression she creates,
and first impressions count for a great
deal.
This does not mean that It is neces
sary to dress like n debutante going to
tea or to a fashionable luncheon, as
many girls seem to think.
The first thing to learn and to hold
to is that there is nothing smarter than
simplicity of the right kind. A well
made simple frock or suit has Infinite
ly more distinction than the more con
spicuous models whose vogue wanes
quickly.
Within the last few years so many
women have gone into business that
they have become on important factor
In the world of clothes. Designers,
realizing this, have given thought to
their needs and the result is that it
is possible to buy frocks that are ap
propriately simple and yet have cer
tain individual touches which take
away any suggestion of uniformity.
The evening dress lias two of the
salient points of the winter fashions.
One Is the tiered front of circular
flounces nnd another Is that it is white.
Collections show n large number of
white frocks, crystal trimmed or with
a touch of silver embroidery.
She is a wise woman who knows the
“does nnd don’ts” of fashion. One must
study carefully the vnrious styles as
they are presented and, out of mnny,
select those few that are best adapted
to one’s needs and environment.
It is not enough to buy clothes that
are correct from the standpoint of
fashion and appropriateness. They

must be worn properly and with each
detail in perfect harmony with the
rest of the costume.
Several rules which one of the lead
ing designers recently guve out as the
secret of a smart appearance this sea
son arc* well worth following. The
first rule is “be feminine and discreet
and wear a wide skirt, thus gaining in
grace and freedom of movement”;
Things to Know About Cleaning Velvet Gown
So much velvet la being worn these
days that it Is very convenient to know
how to clean and care for It, so that
it will give the maximum uinount of
weur. Because of the soft nap, writes
a correspondent, velvet requires an ex
tra amount of attention to keep It
looking well. The nap must be kept
raised and clean to show Its beauty.
If the velvet Bhould become spotted
by the rain, steam the whole surface
to make the shade the same. Do not
brush the velvet before steaming as
that will make the nap cling together.
Never brush the surface of velvet un
til It Is dry. Stains may be removed
from velvet by sponging with alcohol.
There are special methods for re
moving specifice stains, as grease and
paint. This is done by the application
of dry cleaner and sponging with ben
zine or turpentine.
Much depends on the brushing of
velvet. Use a piece of the material
Itself or a brush that has soft elastic
bristles. The bristles are better not
too soft If the material needs to be

May Be Aid to Girls
Who Have Wispy Locks
Have you the sort of hair that at its
very best looks like a last year’s bird’s
nest, and ls your constant despair on
all occasions when you want to keep
neat and well-groomed? Such heaps
of girls suffer from this sort of huir,
and it's so expensive ulways to keep It
well waved und curled that a word of
hope to sufferers such as these may
not be out of pluce!
Wispy hair, If it’s not bobbed, had
far better be plaited close to the face
and rolled down over each ear—a
method which effectually gets rid of
short ends. It It's bobbed, on the other
hand, It’s a tip to remember that one
can have the ends permanently turned
round and under, without any other
permanent waving being done to the
hair, at about an eighth the cost of
the whole process.—Young Ladles’

the surface. In brushing to clean,
push the bristles into the nap and
twist botb the cloth and the brush.
This will bring the dust out of the
nap and it cun easily be shaken from
the velvet by beating from the wrong
side. Do this over every spot of the
garment or material to be cleaned.
To freshen the appearance of velvet,
sponge the wrong side with warm wa

forth over a hot Iron. If there are
deep wrinkles they may be removed
by first holding the material over a
pan of boiling hot water and brushing
the nap with a very stiff brush. The
steam that comes througn the nap of
the velvet will raise It. After rubbing
