For the Visiting Frenchmen.
Oh, these fascinating French men I
How many hearts of our young girls
are palpitating at the thought of the
"distingue" foreigners. They are be
ing feted and invited to teas and gen
erally talked to death. At least four
of the debonair gentlemen are mak
ing their headquarters in the city,
stopping at the Blackstone, attending
the meetings of the French society
and proving perfectly delightful lions
for the afternoon teaa. The latest
tea, in honor of one of these gentle
men, was given Sunday afternoon by
an attractive girl of the older debu
tante set and her equally charming
elder sister.
"Cultivating the gentlemen P said
one charming matron, "why, my dear,
all the gills are perfectly crazy about
" them."
At the lecture given by Prof. Al
bert G. van Heclte of Louvain uni
versity before L'Alliance Francaise
last evening very interesting pictures
of the Belgian refugee children were
shown. The lantern, however, which
was used to project the pictures upon
the screen, was rather noisy in ac
tion. This fact led one of the French
gentlemen to remark drolly to one
sitting near, "Ah, madame, we' have
not only it picture machine, we have
ze talking machine." Another one
who remarked a boat the pleasant teas
at which they are being entertained
contented himself with saying, "Ah,

MY VALENTINE I made her. Will her face fit into your heart?
Many a man's heart looks just this way on the Good St. Valentine's
Day out of it looks eyes and a smile that you with another sort
of eyes and smile looking out of yours may not think beautiful but that
fill his heart with a bubbling, throbbing wine that all but just spills over,
and are the very eyes and smile of the face that "launched a thousand
ships" to him.

Table Decoration.
The holiday month of February,
with its three special days within four
weeks, sets one to thinking of deco
rations for the table. It is only too
true that table decorations have vio
lated every rule of good tastes for
we have blindly followed the dictates
of certain magazines whose cardinal
principle seems to have been "how
much can we pile on?" I hope that
day is passing, and that the party
table of the present is dominated by
the idea of simplicity. Effectiveness
of decoration is always best secured
by a tew well-chosen bits ot color.
In the choice of a centerpiece we
taboo immediately any large, high ar
rangement of flowers or greenery. A
low bowl or basket or a bud vase
containing one or two flowers, is al
ways in good taste. The new low
bowls containing flower standards in
sure artistic arrangement A tulle
bow on a basket handle aids in car
rying out a color scheme.
for a small table colored candles
with shades are a doubtful addition to
an artistic centerpiece. They are apt
to crowd too close to the flowers
and detract from their beauty. At a
large table candles are helptul. They
may, however, be used at a small
table in place of a centerpiece, a
group of two or three of them held
together by smilax. I once saw an in
teresting arrangement at an oblone
table for eight a single candle to
ward one corner and a single flower
in a slender vase toward the opposite
corner.
To carry out a color scheme there
are always nut cases, favors and place
cards. If all three devices are used,
two of the three should be unobtru
sive. For example, with attractive
favors, use small, plain-colored nut
cases and very simple place cards.
The place cards may be combined
with the rrat cases or the favors, as
seen in the downtown stores.
Some of the common mistakes in
ornateness are the use of ribbon or
paper streamers flat on the tablecloth;
the strewing ot paper decorations on
the cloth, and the use of decorated
paper tablecloths with other elaborate
decorations. It one chooses a deco
rated cloth, then srrrety other table
appointments, including china, should
be of the simplest, not to spoil its ef
fectiveness. It is sometimes said that
flowers should never be placed on the
cloth, but, personally, I have always
been pleased to find a blossom at my
plate though perhaps I should not
be I Very effective place cards mar
be made by tying a plain white card
to a small flower.
In striving for ah effectively dec
orated table choose one point of in
terestit usually is the centerpiece,
it may be the candles or the favors
and make everything else subordinate)
to that point of interest.

The Wonderlift Bandlet copies Nature. It does
the work of tired, relaxed abdominal muscles in
Nature's way. It is elastic, and fully adjustable.
By restoring fallen organs and ligaments to
healthful position, the Bandlet re-establishes natural
symmetry and produces the best style-effect possible
to the individual figure.
' By relieving strain on nerves and muscles, it
tones up the whole system; brings back youthful
vigor and good looks.
There are eight distinct Wonderlift models for
every type of figure, from bony to super-stout

majority if once properly fitted in the right Won
