Come early. e/jfodk &ot Comet 12-<i <famam Adele Garrison “My Husband’s Love” Mother Graham Told the Trutli About Elizabeth I am always fairly sure of Junior's obedience to my commands, but I must confess that I held my breath figuratively and literally when I told him to apologize to his grandmother. Suppose he should disobey me and that with my stately and critical sister-in-law looking on! There had been a sufficiently large ado over nothing already. X did not wish to add the enforcement of maternal dis cipline to the teapot tempest just passed. For a tense second his eyes so like his father’s—and his grandmother's— held mine steadily, and 1 realized to my dismay that his baby judgment had pronounced me unreasonable and unjust. But his habit of obedience Ujld and he advanced valiantly toward his grandmother. “I ani sorry I was rude. Danzie," he repented with a, parrot like inflec tion, "and I fink Richard Second Is a —is—a— His eyes met mine appealingly, and with a stabbing flash I comprehend ed that I was compelling tie* small hoy lo tell an untruth. Regardless of anything save that possibility I opened my lips to tell him he need not voice his liking for the name, when my mother-in-law, with the royal capitulation of which she is sometimc-s capable, ami which Dicky inherits from her, caught hitn up in her arms and stopped further utter ance by hugging him tightly with is face pressed Into her shoulder. Junior Is Saved "You shall/ not say It," she cried. "Margaret tell him he need not. Oh. we are wicked, teaching him to He.” Junior wriggled his head free, and looked at me. "Don’t 1 need to say dat’s a nice name?" he quer.ed. * "No, Junior,” I assured him. He considered a minute gravely. "May I say vat kind of name It is?" he asked hopefully. "No, you may not. Mother does not like you to use those words." "Vat words?! Dumb-" "Do you know Junior," Harriet In terrupted, to my great relief, "that I never will find my room if you don't show it to'me as you promised. And I’ll have to ask you to be porter and carry a bag for me.” The Childless Wife Junior chuckled delightedly as he laboriously climbed the stairs, and as the delighted boy and the gravely smiling woman vanished into the hall above Lillian and I looked at each other In recognition of the striking circumstance that it had been th - childless woman of our quartet who unerringly had cut the tangled threads of the trying situation, and "managed" the small boy with com prehending sympathy. A sigh from my mother In law and the look in her eyes told me that she had shared our thoughts. "Children in her life," she said re greatfully, addressing me ns If there never had been the slightest shadow of difference between us. "That’s what Harriet needs, but she can't stand any not her own kin or Ed win’s, and I don't blame her. "Things are mighty mixed up In this world,” she went on reflectively her eyes still fixed upon the stairs up which her daughter had gone. "Now, here's Harriet, a born mother, If ever there was one, hasn't a child, and Elizabeth, who hasn't any husi ness taking care of a cat let alone a child, has four. I know"— she answered the astonished glance I had involuntarily given her—“Elizabeth’s my own daughter Just as much as Harriet is, and I have no business talking that way—you never heard me say It before, but the truth's the truth, and you know I'm speak Ing it. Margaret, Just as well as 1 do," tCepyrtzht, 19m New Ideas For New Year’s Games and Decorations “—— For the many vvno plan to entertain on New Year's, we are giving some suggestions for decorations and games which will perhaps be helpful. Decorations. Bluebirds are the symbol of hap piness and what better time to make them a part of the decorative motif that at New Year's? The light shade Is a dainty fringe of white crepe paper, on w hich black letters are cut from cardlioard and silvered ai» pasted. Bluebirds cut out from decorated crepe paper are also fastened to the fringe. The table Is bordered with a white crepe paper fringe divided at Inter vals with strands of tinsel ribbon. The centerpiece Is made of green crepe paper cut Into petals and twist ed; then formed Into a large pom pon. Bluebirds cut from decorated crepe paper are pasted to a light cov ered wire whb h has been formed Into a spiral by twisting around a pencil. Tho spiral Is fastened to heavier wire stuck into the pompon. The little figures carrying nut cup baskets on their heads ore painted horns pressed up in crepe paper. The clown head favore are made from balls of cotton covered smooth lv with crepe paper on which faces are painted. The pnper ends are fastened to a dowel with Spool wire. Two full ruffles are fastened with tinsel ribbon around the neck of each clowm to which are hung bells. The Costume. The costume Is a very simple slip over made of white crepe paper to which Iftters are pasted to form "A Happy New Year." The clock is drawn out on white mat-stock and pasted to the slip-over. Games. A "current events contest" is a good one for a starter. Cut from magazines and dally papers pictures illustrative of events which have taken place during the year 1923 Number them and pin them up in con spicuous places, minus, of course, their titles. By corresponding num bers on cards distributed to the guests can be written the answer or description of the pictured happening A good prize to reward the successful contestant would be a picture. Give each guest a two-page folder on the cover of which la printed “Turn Over a New Lenf.” A gummed seal which is a realistic au tumn leaf in four-color combinations, would make a pretty decoration for this cover. Inside write the follow ing: “For the answer to each of the fol lowing, give a word of which the first syllable ts pronounced ' new'*: 1. Another word for nourishing 2. Name of a disease 3. One who is Impartial 4. A m-w- Jersey city 6. Pertaining to a number 6. Containing air or gas 7. A post 8. The act of nodding the head 9. A famous scle-ntist 10. An English city famous for coal 11.
