A SOCIETY GIRLS VIEWS.

Sometimes I think I won't give any
Christmas presents at all, " murmured a
pretty society girl. 1T seems so absurd
to rush ones self almost to death for
two or three weeks before the day which
should mean Peace on earth and to
feel all the time that il is done from

your own end, at least, and go your
friends better. if you can How much

force itself rcon one whether in this

1t is when balancing UP ones bank ac-
count-and along with that arranging
the debit and credit sides of Christmas
gifts-that one begins TO question the
wisdom OF the old-time custom.
Every gift that carries with 1t a spirit
OF genuine good cheer is received In the
same glad way in which il is sent, but
for each of these there is balancing
influence accompanying the gift pre-
scented from a sense of duty which robs
it of its holiday value. even to the les

Let us ask what are the joys and the
burdens Of holiday giving: let us appeal

large family. to the society girl and a
foolish young person. to fiat dweller

The Man OfIt--HiS ExtravaganCe
BY Cynthia Grey

Man is naturally extrayagant; he Is a
spendthriit. II e were not for the wive.

poorhouse
WOMAN Is THE HOUSEHOLD
ECONOMIST
Why, the man when he is single spends
all and even more than he earns The
same man married will have a bank ac-
count
Woman viii deprive herself of al of the
Injuries OF life if she knows that she can
afford only the mere necessities
One dollar looks as large to woman as
live dollars looks to man. and She will
make it go as far.
When woman spends a dollar she has
something to show for il. A man spends
many dollars with apparently no apprecia-
ton Of the fact that the money is going
A woman will walk six blocks to buy
vegetables for a cent peck cheaper than
the vegetables selling at the corner gro
Gerry. A man buys the first peck of vege-
tables he sees. even if he knows he can
buy just as good and cheaper two blocks
farther ON.
When woman reads that there is a
bargain sale in hand towels down town
she goes and buys a supply. Ask man
to buy hand towels, he goes into the first
drygoods store he sees and buys the first
towel his eye rests on. II is too much
bother to look about and try to save 10
cents or a quarter.
II woman wants certain thing. she
figures this way: what will | have to
90 without if buy it, And she buys
what she most needs
A mans argument is this 81 want it -
And he buys il.

Olive Sandwiches: Select olives that are
stuffed with red peppers, chop fine, mix
with cream cheese, and spread on thin
slices of buttered bread.
Fruit Cup. Any fruit, tart apples. pine
apples, oranges, white grapes or bananas,
may be grated. or merely cut in small
pieces, thoroughly chilled and served at the
beginning of meal. Squeeze the juice
of a lemon over sliced bananas for pleas
ant change.
Grape Fruit; To serve grape fruit, cut
i'm halves. then with a sharp knife loosen
the pulp around edges, make few cuts
into which sugar may sink, and chill.
When ready to serve pour little white
wine over the top.
Grape Pulp: For an invalid or conval-
escent fever patient, select good white
grapes. remove all seeds and then place the
pulp on ice until cold. Serve in a dainty
glass. This viii satisfy the craving of one
who is not able to eat and digest much
food.
Prunes: The much-abused prunes are
excellent. particularly for breakfast. They
should never be boiled fast, but should sim
mer for four or FIVE hours with a little
sliced lemon. Boiled rice served with
prunes is very good.
Radishes Wash thoroughly, but do not
cut off the little green ends; cut the top of
each radish across each way, 50 that the
four corners will separate, making them
look like little flowers Serve cold and
