RULES FOR HOUSE PARTIES

From the New Idea Woman's Magazine
House parties at this season Of the
year are very popular and usually the
jolliest things Imaginable It may not be
amiss for me to impress upon you right
now the fact that the word 'house party
is not used in inviting the various guests.
The hostess in writing says: Il am in
viting few friends for the weeks end. -
1t is best to mention the names of some
of the friends expected and also TO give
some idea of the nature of the entertain
ment. so the guest may know what is re-
quired in the way OF dress.
Full information must also be given as

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
FROM WOMANS'
POINT OF VIEW

woman who had been served by q
japanese cook for some months told me
that while his wages were high. she was
positive that he saved az least 50 on the
weekly bills because of his skill In buy
ing and his method OF using every scrap
OF food which came into the house.
His refrigerator was bare" she de-
clared. There was never any left-overs
10 be found. We ate them all IN the
most delicious forms"
Probably the waste can was quite as
empty. for the japanese are thrifty, as
are few other nations.
The average household IN this country
Is frightfully wasteful. Our ancestors
brought stock of thrift to these shores.
and 1t must have been increased by the
rough living forced upon them. Genera
tons have polished It out Of our nature
until now a thrifty person Of either sex
Is something Of curiosity and regarded
with a certain amount of contempt If
one does not care for the opinion of
others. the virtue or thrift is allowed 20
have its own way, even when money Is
easy. as In the case Of a man OF my
acquaintance who hires his chauffeur
with a distinct understanding that there
are to be no rake-offs. The owner OF
the car buys all that is needed and pays
as he does other bills in his living.
His man may not like what he regards
as closeness. but he respects him for
his independence. The maid who is not
allowed to waste in the kitchen may
have contempt for her employer, but
she also has feeling which is akin TO
respect for the firmness displayed. There
are scores of ways in which scraps of
food may be utilized. and it is a part
of the duty OF life 10 discover and profit
by them. Sour milk used 70 be an i'm
portant element in cooking. and there is
no reason for throwing It away now.
The remains Of the morning coffee can
be made into Jelly for dessert or put
into cake or frozen.
Housewives who think that they cannot
cook without lard are 10 be pitied, for
that is luxury in these days. Suet IS
much better and more wholesome, and
of bacon fat one can never have enough
TO supply the demands which could be
made upon it. Bacon is a standard
breakfast dish Endorsed by the medical
profession and the fat Is rarely used.
1t could be turned into soup. II nothing
else. A few years ago I undertook the
study of kitchen economy. and find it
exhaustless. I have learned something.
but It is such small part OF what there
is 10 learn. One has TO live at some dis
lance from the source Of supplies to
realize how valuable brains really are.
More than one famous dish Is the result
of accident, like the club sandwich. which
represented the contents OF the ice box
put together 10 satisfy the appetite Of
hungry man. Brains were not respon
sible for that combination.

enough case against the husband with
out the testimony of the wife.
The prosecution declares that Pc
poon's desire to marry the Keller wo-
man was not the only motive that
might have induced him to commit the
alleged murder. 1t has been learned
that shortly before the death of Mrs.
Pepoon the husband had Induced her
to take out a life insurance policy for
$1,000. Three weeks after the woman
took out the policy she was given
glassful of strange colored liquid, &C
cording to the statement of the prose-
cutting attorney. The liquid, it is
said, was prepared by Ray Wilcox, a
paroled convict who was familiar with
drugs and poisons. Fifteen minutes
after she had swallowed the liquod the
woman was dead, the victim, as was
determined by the analysis, of strych-
nine poisoning. Almost simultaneous
ly Wilcox disappeared, after cashing
Pepon's check for $100.

TO Be TRIED FOR MURDER
George L. Pepoon Must Face Courts
on Charge of Having Murdered
His First Wife.
(Herald Specially

Colville, Wash, May Con Sunday
next and not before, according to
law, George L. Pepoon, now confined
in the Stevens county Jail, may marry
Maude Keller, to whom he has already
been married in British Columbia
and thereby prevent the woman from
testifying against him when he is
placed on trial the following day to
answer to the charge of having MUIR
dered his first wife. This is one of
the interesting features of case
which has attracted attention through
out Oregon, Washington and Idaho,
and the trial of which is awaited with
intense interest.
George L. Pepoon and his wife were
residents of Newport, this county. The
death of Mrs Pepoon occurred on
August %, last, and at the time was
ascribed to natural causes. Shortly
afterward, however, Mrs. N. D. VOL
colt of Portland, the mother of the
dead woman, visited the scene and
brought to light facts which led to
the arrest and Indictment of the hus-
band on the charge of having muir
dered his wife by putting strychnine
in her food. Sensational develop
ments in the case followed in rapid
succession until the evidence became
so strong that the prosecuting attor-
ney is ef the opinion that the accused
husband cannot escape conviction,
even though he marries the woman
with whom he is now living and there
by prevents her being called as wit
ness for the state.
On the day following the funeral of
Mrs. Edith Pepoon, Maude Keller ap- |
piled for a divorce from her husband |
who had left her several years before |
When the case came up for hearing
Pepoon was the only witness in her
behalf. The decree was granted.
Then, without waiting for the
period of six months to elapse, as the
law of the state of Washington re-
quires before divorced woman can
marry, Pepoon and the Keller woman
went TO Rossland, B. c., and there a
ceremony was performed. |,
Upon their return to the town of New
