THE PRACTICES
THAT TEXASPERATE YOUR
FAMILYOR YOUR FRIENDS
By DOROTHY DIX.

1t Is unfortunate that in an overcrowd-
Cd world we have TO live too close to-
yethcr. We get on other peoples nerves,
and they get on ours, and we mutually
harass and worry each other
Probably there is not one of US who
has not some little irritating habit. or
peculiarity, that is a continual annoy
anCe to every one with whom we come
in contact and that makes us all but
unhearahle to the unfortunates who are
doomed to live under the same roof with
us
Considering that suicide is not only
unpleasant. but unpopular and illegal,
and that We cant get off of the earth,
nor can We seek a lodge in some vast
wilderness. even if We wanted to, ii is
up to all of us to try to make ourselves
AS little obnoxious as possible to our
fellOw-CrcatuTcS,
Therefore. As mere starter consider
the following list of unpleasantnesscs in
others and ask yourself if you are guilty
Of doing any Of them:
In the Family Circle.
DO YOU,-
In the family circle
Read aloud to people who are already
reading themselves?
Read aloud hoice excerpts from a
PAPER to a person who has just read that
same paper"
Repeat all the chostnutty jokes in the
comic papers that everybody has read?
Ahsentmindcdly refuse to listen Ia
what is being said Untih long story
~Elas been told, and then require it to be
Repeated?
Nave everything that is said remind
youN of something that occurred when
you kwcre a little Eirl or boy?
WhSn the mail is brought in. do YOU
turn And twist every letter, sCrutiniZ-
ing itS postmark and handwriting, and
specializing about whom It is from before
you hand it over to its riGhtful owner?
Are you filled with UuEodIy curiosity
about everything that everybody else in
the family does?
DO you demand to know of all the
other members of the family who 20 out

metallic EMBROIDERIES
HAVE LARGE VOGUE

Bead, metal. silk. and wOrsted embroid-
cries all promise to have a large vogue
throughout the coming fall and winter.
Elaborate garnltures in the form of blouse
and tunic patterns are being shown on
foundations of chiffon. There is practt-
callv no limit to the variety that is seen,
and the greater the novelty the more pop
uIar the effect.
Standing bugles are a new feature in

The fitted corset cover is absolutely
necessary under the waists of the day,

bead embrOideries. Part OF the design is
worked out with the beads upright This
results in a handsome relief work, wholly
new, and thus far much taken by buyers
of extreme novelties. In bead embroid-
cries odd shapes in pendant ornaments
and bugIes are intermlngIed with beads
in various sizes.
Round wooden beads. dyed in color. are
being much used by the model houses

cuted in heavy silk thread. with the
wooden beads carrying out part OF tho
design.

Among Friends.

DO YOU-
Among friends
Spend your time talking about your
troubles"
Are YOU guilty of forever reminiscenc-
ing about your travels. and what you
saw in Europe and what you did IN
California?
Do YOU brag about your success and
your triumphs!
DO you make lOng-sufferlng people
stand for anecdotes about your ChlluFeh
and infantile bon mOts?
Do YOU spend weary hours explaining
the mechanism and the advantages OF
YOUR automobile to people who haven't
a wheelbarrow and couldn't run one if
they had it?
DO YOU talk endless shop to people who
haven't any interest in any business out
their own?
DO YOU consider that being an lndl-

lice that PERSONS life and PICK ouI MS

DO Won consider that friendship gives
YOU the right to monOpOlize another in

DO YOU butt into your friends affairs
with all manner of unCalled-for advice?
DO YOU get grouchy because your
friends won't get mad with other people
because YOU are mad with them and
won't go to your millner and dress
maker and doctor?
DO you consider that friendship is an
other name for borrowing, and that you
have a right to use your friends be-
longings as if they were your own?
DO you descend on your friends, bag
and baggage, without waiting for the
fOrmalitv Of an invitation or the de-
ccncy to find out whether your presence

Cedar Chest.

Get a large pine packing box from the
grocer. Hinge on the lid and putty up
the cracks. Purchase a bottle of oil of
cedar from the druggist and paint the
inside of the box, being sure that the
oil sOaks into all the cracks and crew

Knife Cleaning Board.

A good fknife-cIeaning board is made
by taking a piece of board ten inches
long and six inches wide. Tack on to
this a piece of brussels carpet and

TWO RECIPES FOR
USING PEACHES
Peach Fritters.

Beat together the yolks OF two eggs
and half cupful OF cold water. Add
one cupfuI of sifted flour mixed with a
pinch of salt and beat until the batter
is smooth. Add tablespoonful Of melted
butter or olive oil and beat well again.
Then stir in lightly the whites whipped
to a stiff froth and set aside in a cool
plac" for several hours. Have ready a
kettle partly filled with smoking hot fat.
Dip pared and haIved pieces of peaches
into the batter. Hold on the fork for a
moment that any extra amount may
drain off. then drop into the hot fat and
cook golden brown. Skim out and drain
for "A moment on unglazed paper then
roll in powdered sugar and send at once
to the table

Floor Cleaner.

Buy a common blackboard eraser and
fasten it firmly to an old broom handle.
If the eraser is dipped into a little coal
oil, it will take up all lint and dust, and
polish the floor at the same time.

Peach POpOVers.

Break three eggs in a bowl and beat
slightly with a fork-just enough to mix
then add one pint of milk. Mixed to-
gether one pint of sifted flour and a
quarter teaspoonful of salt. Into this stir
enough of the liquid to make a thick bat
ter and beat until smooth. no longer
Gradually blend with this the remainder
Of the liquid. then strain into deep but
tered popOver pans, filling them two
thirds full. Put into a moderate oven
and let them rise slowly. When the oven
is quite hot and they rise rapidly there
is great danger of their falling. To be at
their best they should take fully forty
five minutes to rise and bake a golden
brown. In the meantime make a hard
sauce and heat into it as much peach
pulp as ii will take without CurdlinE,
adding drop of almond extract. When
the popoverS are done turn out, break
each open. add a spoonful of sweetened
peach pulp and and little of the sauce,
then serve with the remainder of the
sauce plied on a small dish.

when you are in the privacy of the home
circle?
DO YOU habitually throw cold water on
every plan that is proposed?
Do you consider that you have the
right to boss every one of your house

tune to be married to you, OF to be blood
