POINTS

n women want polite men around
they must not stand for anything that
is the opposite.
To allow a man to smoke without
asking permission is all wrong.
To allow him to remain seated
while a woman enters the room, not
TO remove his hat as often as he
should and not help her with her
chair at the table are objectionable.
No man has any respect for the
woman who allows him TO treat her
in this way, whether she is single or
his wife.
In fact, in the latter case It Is all
the worse. The husband who is al
lowed TO start on the road of discour-
tesy will end by being a perfect boor.
Teach your daughter to expect the
most courteous treatment from the
boys and the young men she knows.
The American young man is nat
urally conceited He thinks, il he is
at all good looking, that every girl is
running after him. He pays long
calls, during which he expects the
girl to do all the entertaining; he
poses and considers often that his
presence is enough without treating
her to the theater or to any other
form of amusement.
And. sad to relate, IL girl gives
in to his whims he becomes absolutely
insufferable. so that when no grows
older all his good qualities are lost
beneath the mantle OF. self-estecm
he has been allowed to wrap himself
in.
These are the men who never pay
dinner calls, who look down upon
women contemptuously. and who,
when they marry, admit of no argu-
ment, declaring their will is law.
What they need is the right kind
Of woman to teach them politeness
and courtesy.

blouse decorated with eyelet cmbroid-
cry.
Embroidery in bright colors work
ed in Oriental. Persian and Bulgarlan
designs is decorating all kinds Of
gowns.
The fancy tailored suit shows the
bolero or etou Jacket. Otherwise the
coats are very short and emphasize
the high waist line In the back.
There is a decided vogue for black

THE NEM SILKS
BY EDNA EGAN.


7 Here are a few silks that gllsten
lout in beautiful designs and color
angs. Remember that all are supple
and that even brocades refuse to
'stand alone" as in grandmother's
day.
There Is wonderful silvery
striped silk on which are woven how-
or forms that are shadowy sugges-
HONS of the design, with the light
lthe design changes to blue, and II
you are observing you will find that
Il is due to the sky above you reflect
ed In the sheen OF the fabric.
Coin spots are very popular. From
the irregular sizes grouped in differ
eut degrees OF intensity that suggest
the snake skin to immense dots that
must be worn with care, these silks
from Lyons are able to suit every
buyer.
Bordure silks are extremely fash
tonable. II the story were to be be-
lgun. II could go on ad lnfnitum for
borders are of every width and design
Fnd suggest endless possibilities of
Hpplying them to bodice and skirt.
A conventional figure in diamond
ar coin spots is scattered over a
plain ground. From this idea the
weavers have departed along many
roads. Striped back grounds. tiny
checks a mottled surface and diagonal
weaves are made to furnish the ex-
panse on which the little patterns are
woven.
Stripes. OF course! In this season
Of the striped fabric 1t would be sur
prising TO find no silks woven on this
pattern. In lines OF contrasting col
prs that are plnstripes or stripes
half inch in width, the eager woman
can see the varied efforts OF the max
srs.
Satins that are double faced, each
surface OF contrasting shade, are here
from France, with their double OFFER
TO modistes. They trim themselves
when they are turned back 10 form
binding, pipings or revers. They af-
ford double opportunity for allying
other febrlcs with them, and, best OF
nj, they are double width!

NEW IDEA IN ADVERTISING
Bright (?) Scheme of Parisians to
Teach Parrots to Call Out Wares
in Public Places.

Word concerning a new idea in ad-
vertising has just come from Paris
The scheme is to teach parrots to as
sist in the extension of commerce by
sitting upon perches and croaking:
Try Crushem's Corsets." or Say
Wattles," or Eureka Razor" as the
case may be. The training Of the par
rots, according to the promoters of
the new scheme. is to be a simple
matter A monograph is to be placed
in a room fitted up for the purpose
and the instrument will grind out,
hour after hour, the cry that the par
rots are to repeat The birds mean
while will be established on conven-
lent perches where they may hear the
two or three words, that are to be
used in pushing the commodity of the
advertiser, and the solemn business
will proceed until the parrots take up
the cry of the photograph.
1t has been established that a parrot,
once it has learned to say a certain
thing, will repeat that thing a thousand
times day for a hundred years, bar
ring accidents or plots, and the facts is
emphasized by the projectors of the
new method of advertising. They ex-
pect shortly to have their parrots on
duty in all the big shops and in every
public place, so that the wares they
are employed to praise may be contin-
uOusly called to the attention of the
people.
There is a well-grounded belief that
it pays to advertise. but it does not
pay to annoy the public. We reserve
the right to be skeDtical, says The Chi
cage Record-Heralu, and venture to
express the hope that some friend of
humanity will at on re get busy upon
the problem of discovering a way in
which parrots may be put to death
quickly, surreptitiously and with as
little annoyance to tho birds as pos.
sible.

ANNOYING TO A MODEST PRIVATE
CITIZEN.

Colonel Roosevelt is our most pri-
cate citizen. He insists on an aver
age of once a week that he is not a
candidate for President, Vice Presi-
dent, Governor, police or civil service
commissioner, Assistant Secretary f
the Navy or colonel, having served
his time in all these positions. Even
on The Outlook he submerges his
personality, insisting on being mere
contributing editor AS the Baltimore
Sun points out, Publicity has become
so annoying to him that he has ADOPT
ed the policy of silence. Whatever
turbulent emotions may rage in his
breast, he refuses to burst forth in
Grafton. When Ohio admirers boom
him for President he holds up his
hands in depreciation Wall street
has annoyed him by an outburst Of
enthusiasm over his bold defense Of
the prosecuted trusts. Boston breaks
its habit of icy reserve to cheer him."
Then the Sun continues;
Seeking an atmosphere of Sabbath
calm. he wanders down to the Labor
Temple to a quiet seance on
the Mcnamara case. There the spirit
moves him to tell the church its
duty. IF the church cannot take the
lead in social betterment," he eX-
claims. then the church no longer
deserves to be a power in the body
polite" The way to do justice is to
let in the light on Tamale Row Sit
ting there on the rostrum, almost olt
of sight, he is recognized.
Emerging upon the sidewalk, some
one yells. There's Teddy" and
crowd gathers that fills the street
and stops the cars. BY shouting at a
passing automobile he manages 10
free himself and seeks his favorite
sylvan retreat, far from the maddilg
crowd"
Thus does our most modest citizen
maintain his privacy in hermit-like
retreat, where he can hear only the
distant murmur of a world engrossed
in politics, business and the exciting
concerns of the strenuous life.

SUDDEN ZEAL FOR
PARCELS POST
May Loom Up In the Politics
Of 1912

Washington, D. c., Dec 21.-Sudder
zeal for the enactment of a liberal
parcels post measure with this ses-
sion of Congress has developed among
Senator's from Eastern States, and il
the work is as earnest as the talk,
there is good ground for hope that a
parcels-post system will be provid ID
for before the session ends. Among
the Senators who apepar most eager
for action on the subject are Penrose
and Oliver, of Pennsylvania; DUPONT
and Richardson, of Delaware, and
MARITIME and Briggs, of New Jersey.
AS many Western Senators have
long been earnestly in favor of es
tablishing at least a limited parcels
post, in conformity with repeated rec
concentrations by Postmasters Gener
al, and as there is a strong movements
in the House in the same direction
the prospect of getting sometime
done before adjournment wiuld seen
to be excellent Heretofore, the
strongest objections to attempting any
thing in this line have come from the
Senate where the interests hostile &C

perimental sort, and will include ru-

DIET AND HEALTH
HINTS
BY DIR. T. J. ALLEN
Food Specialist
NO CANCER AMONG SHAk-
Frs,

Cancer has never occurred
among Shakers, which is either
remarkable coincidence or ad-
ditionaI evidence that prime
factor in the causation of cancer
is bad feeding. The Shakers eat
no meat and are otherwise very
simple in their diet. Meat is not
in itself a cause of cancer, be-
cause as Dr.. Williams, the Eng
lsh authority, has shown, Vege-
tarians are not immune, while
the Eskimo and cannibals are,
but the digestion of meat differs
so much from that of other
foods that it has more influence
in the causation of cancer than
perhaps any other food except
tomatoes when eaten with beans
or flesh.
