How deplorable that children should
ever come to regard company dinner
as a bright spot, and to value Sunday
for the paIate's sake. 1t is proper to
honor our guests by giving them the
best we can provide, but there is some
thing essentially dishonest in allowing
the discrepancy between our company
and ordinary home menus to pass a GER
tain limit-a dishonesty which uncon-
sciously impairs our self-respect and
lowers the estimate our children put
upon us. Another evil effect of such dis
crepancy is thai we thereby restrict our
selves to state rather han open hospi-
talit..
AS for Sunday excuses, we are much
given to them. 1t is but reasonable the
Sunday dinner should have the extra
touch which the unusual leisure of the
day seems to warrant: but that a one
or two O'Clock banquet should be serv-
ed, followed by a heavy luncheon in the
evening. is absurdly unwise, and the
practice makes the day one of d~yspeptic
discomfort for half our population.

dark blue or purple cut in the shape of
a peacock's eye. These novel buttons
cost $1.20 each, and are especially effec-
tive when worn with dark shades Of vel

fresh piece every day, for three OF four

stains out of the hands. 1t prevents sun
burn and tan, and keeps the skin white

DO not ask the patient what he wants
to eat. Ask the doctor what he should
eat, prepare 1t daintily. Change the bed
linen as often as possible. Once a day is
not too often. In making the bed be sure
that the under sheet is stretched tight
and smooth. Wrinkles in the under sheet
cause continual discomfort. Keep the
medicine bottles, glasses and spoons out
