"once upon e time, it is said, there wa a n old lady who kept e most

And on moonlight nights the old lady, sitting at her window, coud see
the little tulips sway Jack and forward, although there might not be q single

Guarding Against Metal Poisoning.
l I'm going to warn you against an
other evil, that Of metal poisoning. Up
here where we are staying a charm

and the next day found a number Of
the guests very Ill. They all seemed
to think that something in the menu
had caused the trouble, but it was
only after careful Investigation that
the cause was located-a metal spoon
had been allowed to stand In the
m~ayonnatse V g night before the sup
per was served.
This case has made me overhaul my
kitchen utensils and ascertain their
state Of usefulness. It's q good plan
to keep an eye on ice cream freezers,
for when old they give bad cases
Of lead poisoning. C~ofeepots, too,
should be discared when the enamel

be allowed to stand In tin dishes TO

Another discovery 1 have made Is
that the roadside thisties possess un-

The Evening Chit Chat

By RUTH CAMERON

A " sas5 Se3" ! Know n' recently OBTAINED a position a a L 'sn''s'''
. Do you know what that means?
It means that his duties are to carefully and scientifically study the
their owners in just what ways they m losing efficiency.
He will tell one a that he ought to abolish roll top desks because
his clerks are wasting time behind them.
He will tell another that his machinery could be arranged 81 as to
save bis mems time.
He will suggest to another that he might save money by utilizing
some by-product which he Is allowing to go TO waste.
When the efficiency engineers recommendations re followed the
firm which employs him often saves many thousand dollars a year.
Now how many hundreds of thousands, nay hundreds of millions Of
volts of human energy-or whatever other unit you care to measure m
ergy by-would be saved If every man and woman would be his or her
on efficiency engineer"
Do you se what / mean?
Each of US possesses a certain given amount Of energy. Some have
more than others but all have a goodly share.
Our minds and bodies are the plants in which W use this energy.
Our pleasure in life, our characters and our achievements are the pro-
ducts W e manufacture.
Now If each n of US yer his " efficiency engineer he would yer
haul that plant about one in sc often and see in how many ways he as
falling to get full results from that energy, in how many ways he could
increase his efficiency.
needHessly and take that much away from my pleasure in life and my
ability to achieve"
Another girl would say IN wearing insufficient clothing in win
ter. Consequently / have to use my vitality to keep warm and cannot
ave 1t Oh other purposes"
A business maj would say am not taking enough exercise. I
ride whenever I can whereas I ought to walk. The result is that my brain
does not do al good work as it could"
A house mother would say-T do not get outdoors enough and the
lack OF fresh ara and change of scene makes m e cross and nervous and
incapable OF enjoying my family and my work a 1 ought"
energy in worrying. I will remember that there are two kinds of things
not to worry about-those you al help and those you can't, and l win
utilize that energy IN trying to help those that an be helped"
And now|f by any chance you should decide that your plant need
ed overhaufng and should engage yourself as YOUR efficiency engineer, I
wonder what YOU would say?

beautiful brides of the autumn" Is
having a bridal gown made of glitter
ing magnifeence in a gorgeous golden
effect. The fabric used for the dress
Is a gold brocade, shot with silver,
but with the gold showing most prom
inently. 1t Is a princess affair, with
a court train slung from the shoulders
composed Of gold net with gold lace
over the net and in the center a panel
Of very beautiful real lace mounted on
gold net and bordered with gold MORE
tissue. The lace used for the yoke Is
outlined with seed pearls, while the
shoulder straps that support the dress
are made OF gold tissue. It's really
the most stunning wedding gown l
have ever seen, and I can imagine how
exquisite the effect of the long tulle
veil will be over this regal robe.
Yes, 1t is only another sign Of the
times, of feminine emancipation for
the bride of today to assert her indie
pendence by departing from the tram
mels Of tradition and to wear just
what she pleases, whether it be con
ventional or not. There are not, how
ever, many girls who have the nerve
as Dick says, or the money to carry
out such a novel idea. And apropos Of
m~atrimony, some n said recently, "1f
a woman gets what she wants TO wear
and a man gets what he wants to eat,
there's no reason why the couple should
not live together and be happy. Pretty

The Use Of the Broom.

Few people handle a broom properly,
although accustomed to its use every
dav of their lives. Always draw your
broom by leaning it forward, because
this allows the dirt to be moved along
more gently and will not raise much
dust. Most sweepers thrust the broom
ahead of them in a sort of digging
way, with the handle toward the
sweeper. This breaks the broom,
wears out the carpet. stirs up dust and
makes the sweeping much more labo-
lious.
