Entertaining Quietly.

These people who entertain all the
time in a cheap way make me sick,

Ideas like these are the deathblow
to hospitality aad sociability. Wom-
en- who cannot give handsome dinners
and luncheons give nothing. They
limit their entertaining and are bur-
dened by weight of unpaid social
obligations because they cannot have
as fine linen or china as weather.
friends.
The power to entertain handsomely
is enviable; even more to be envied
is the gift of entertaining charmingly
but simply Girls at home and young
married women who possess this
knack are never lacking in popularity.
1t is a pleasant thing to welcome
ones friends, but when their coming
means a splurge that can be ill-af-
forded entertaining misses its pur-
pose.
We need to get back to the sim
pier ways when having few guests

eral extra walters and swelled bills.
There are brides who pine to show OF
their dainty gifts of silver and china,
who yet keep their pretty things pack
ed away waiting for the time when
they can give costly enough meal
to be in keeping. How more than
foolish. There are many ways in
which young people can entertain
at little cost Eliminate expensive re-
freshments and costly prizes. These
are the things that run into money.
What is needed is courage not to do
as the rest of your set does.

HOW SAILORS MAKE MONEY.

Many Odd Jobs Add to the American
Jaclxie's Bank Account.
The possible methods of making
extra money on shipboard are mani
fold. "Tailorizing" is one of the most
profitable, says John R. Cox in the
National Magazine. While a ships
tailor is detailed to most of our ships,
his duties are limite W making nee
essary alterations in tie uniforms
which are issued to the members of
the crew. Many enlisted men own
sewing machines, upon which they do
repair work, and they also do odd jobs
for officers, such as pressing and clean
ing. A handy man with the needle
can also make a handsome sum by
doing fancy work. Some of the most
delicate embroidery work has been
done by sailor men.
The ships barber also peass com

Golfers of the gun crew by consider
able sum. Men who are detailed to
duty on board submarine boats are al
lowed an additional So a. month, and,
besides, 81 a day for every day the
boat is submerged. Bluejackess de-
tailed as signalmen. as coxswains of
power boats. or In charge of holds, are
allowed extra pay. A crew messman
receives S. a month for performing
that somewhat lnenial function; and
the man who is not ashamed to take

navy pay. Every bluejacket is expect
ed to perform the laundering himself;
but there are always men who nrefer
to pay for having the service done
One Of the novel methods of earn
ing an honest penny is for a man with
a descriptive knack-usually a yeo-
man-to prepare an interesting let
ter upon the cruise of the ship, or
some of the strange ports visited, the
honors paid the vessel, the entertain
ments offered. and describing the GUS
toms of the inhabitants. These let
tiers are manifolded and sold TO the
members of the crew for 80 cents to
81 a copy-and usually cheap at that.
The parents or relatives of the sailor
boy thus are kept informed of his adj
ventures and experiences. and he is
relieved of a task that is irksome TO
most boys.

To Freshen Flowers.

If cut flowers from the florists or
garden are placed as soon as possible
in cold water in which little mild
soap has been dissolved, making suds,
they will keep fresh much longer than
usual, and will even freshen up won
derfully if they have already dropped.
Also, if one wishes to keep roses in
bud for some time, soft thread
should be tied snugly around the bud,
and when ready for use, even though
several days after picking, the rose
will be found as snug a bud as when
first tied up, and. moreover, will not
shatter as soon as ordinarily

Totals,

Totals, 59103 6l,79l
To the above figures must be added
the interest to date on the light aud
water bonds at ~ per cent which
amounts to the snug little sum Of 9,525
dollars; also that the cost of delivering
the coal from the railroad to the power
house has been paid out of the direct
taxes for the past two years and
amounts to about 500 dollars; also the
payment of the first bond in the year
1908 which was 1900 dollars; that also
came out of the taxpayers pockets
which makes a grand total of expendi-
lures for operating and maintaining
the light and water plant of 1915 dol
lars, against the total receipts of 50, l03
dollars which represents the total loss
to the city of 1888 dollars.
In the above statement no allowance
has been made for the depreciation of
the plant and the fact that the present
Council contemplates an ultimate ex-
penditure approximating eight or ten
thousand dollars within the next three
years would show that the plant has
deprecated materially.
In conclusion will say that the under
signed challenge any citizen to publicly

TAXPAYERS TAKE HEED.
To the TaepaEers Of Yale:

10 the Taxpayers Or Yale.
A week ago last Monday night a
petition, signed by about seventy tax
payers of Yale, was presented to the
Council asking that the question OF the
sale of our Lighting Plant be submit
ted to vote of the people. This petit
tiOn was tabled without discussion, and
so promptly, as to show disposition
on the part of the present Council to
carry out their own ideas regardless Of
public opinion. At the present time
we deem it advisable that the people be
taken into the confidence of the Coun-
Gil and be given some small idea of the
improvements contemplated. While
we have no direct information TO offer
on the subject, it seems TO be quite
generally understood that the Council
intend changing our present direct cur
rent system to an alternating system,
believing that by expending approx
mately three thousand dollars year
for three years that this change can be
effected. While there is no doubt that
the change would be vast improvement
over our present plant, there is question
as to the advisability of the Council
undertaking a work of this character
without first securing the authority
from the taxpayers whose money goes
into the venture.
There is another point upon which
we would like enlightenment. At what
cost can the change TO an alternating sys
TEN be made? Can it be done for ten
thousand dollars? We understand the
Council employed an expert for the
purpose of securing some idea of the
cost of making this change. The re-
port of this expert should be given to
the public. They paid for il. Wheth-
er or not the plant can be made to pay
even after the Improvements have been
made is another matter that admits of
grave doubt
Our Light and Water Board in their
financial statements show praisworthy
desire to make the light and water
plant an extremely profitable invest
ment for the city-in figures at least.
In order to show what the plant has
actually done, we submit below figures
taken from their annual financial state
ments showing the total light and
water receipts and expenditures for the
past ten years.
