IF o U GROCER IS CLEAN,
HE'S PROBABLY HONEST.

In summing up the comparison of
cest between the clean and the unclean
grocery store, the editor of Woman's
Home Companion has this to say in
the January number:
Nc part OF the country has a
monopoly on honest or dishonest
grocers. In almost every town which
has been Investigated It has been DOS
sible to purchase clean, honest grocer
les. In some very small places there
are stiil dirty grocery stores which
have the trade at their mercy, but the
introduction of groceries which are sold
under w~eE-known brands and at we'll
known prices has forced even the
grocer with the monopoly to honest
prices, OF has made him an easy mark
for honest competition on the part of
rival stores, which sooner or later are
bound to spring into existence. Where
there used to be one store, there are
now very often two, and In at least one
of them you al buy good goods,
cleanly handled and honestly marked.
Accordingly, this problem is distinctly
one for the housewife herself to solve.
In the first place, know your grocer;
be sure that his store is clean; II 1t is,
it will follow, in nine cases out of ten,
that his business throughout Is sys-
tematically conducted, that he buys to
advantage and on cash terms, that he
handles his goods as economically as
he does wholesomely and that his prices
to you for quality goods will stand the
s~trictest comparison with his dirty,
slovenly and almost necessarily dis
honest rival. An honest grocer-and
the country abounds in them-is a Joy
forever"

The "Table" Hat.

It seems to me that a person can
always dress modishly without sac
rlhcing either comfort or good looks,
il she cares to make the effort.
Every fashion of every a AFFORDS
a happy medium for the woman who
cares to look for it, and the happy
medium woman Is the n who always
looks far better than her over-styhsh
sister.
Do you remember the oval, marble
tcpped table that was the pride of your
~erandmother's heart, and the bunch OF
feathery dried grasses that adorned
the middle of IT. In the very best vase?
Well, in the car the other night, !
saw a girl with a hat hat ooked
exactly like that table, grasses and
all. 1t was Of pale gray satin,
trimmed with a huge cluster of paradise
aigrettes, which stood as erect hs wires
could make them. The resemblance to
the table was most amusing. l thought
to myself that its owner would need
no umbrella If 1t should suddenly start
to rain-her hat would more than suf-
fee.
The wise woman never adapts her
self to the styles. She adapts the
styles to herself, putting emphasis ON
the need of expression of her W in
diViduaity.

EVANGELIST HAS CLUB
FOR WOMEN G0SSIPERS.
Will Arrange "wednesday Afternoon
Circle'' So That Knocking Can
Be Done systematically.

UTICA, N. Y, Jan. 2S.-The Rev.
Henry McAlvray, an evangelist, who is
conducting a religious campaign in
Little Falls. has startled the women
there by announcing that beginning
this week a circle will meet each
Wednesday afternoon, so hat all per-
sons who have stories to tell about
their neighbors and cannot refrain
from uttering them, may have oppor-
tunity to speak their ill-will under cir
cumstances where they will do no
harm.
He announced that he would place
his own bachelor apartments at the
disposal of the gossiping circle. He
said, too, that he felt sure some people
would speak sligttingly of this effort.
Nevertheless, he added, perhaps these
doubters are the very ones whom the
circle would most benefit.

NEW SKIRTS.

The plated skirt, either box plaits or
side plaits, with medium-length cut
way coats, fitted to perfection and
bound with braid, is the popular skirt
model this season.
The skirts are extremely full below
the knees, so that the plaits give the
effect of a lot of material being used.
Rarely are there tucks or folds OF
the skirt, but occasionally two or three
rows of braid are used. Silk mohair
braid, with some effective design work
ed in it, Is often chosen.

Spring Hats.

Women are agitated just now over
the question of spring hats. "Will they
be large or will they be small?" is the
question they are f1inging at their
milliners, who simply shrug their
shoulders and say that it is hard to
tell; that some of the models will be
big and some will be small, and that
no one knows which will win out.
81 hope they will be little" exclaimed
a short, slight woman the other after
noon; ''for the past year I have worn
top-heavy creations that have made
me look like a peanut under a pump
kin. That is the worst of being little.
So few things are becoming" and she
looked at her reflection in the mirror
with a Sigh, giving q disdainful poke
to her large black satin picture hat.
WELL" declared a woman Of the Il
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS" type, you do
not have to wear big hats unless you
want to, even if they are stylish. Style
would never make me uncomfortable"
