a GREAT many people, men and
~ women, know how to enter q
4 room gracefully and how to
make themselves welcome and admired
by their hosts.
Very few people know how to make
a graceful exit and to leave their
hosts regretful when they are gone.
There is nothing more tedious and
wearing than the caller or visitor who
requires a long half hour between the
first moment he says he must really
go and the moment when the door
finally closes upon his back.
This applies more to women than to
men, for men, as rule, have been
trained in business methods, which
teach them to be more expeditions in
all their proceedings, or when they have
not been so trained they have been
taught the social customs which in

way and Relate Dull Stories.
Did you ever see tired hostess rise
to say au revoir to her last of many
guests and grow pale and wan while
the thoughtless guest stood in the hall
or doorway and introduced new topic
after topic or related stories to her
victim?
There are numberless people who
do these things and who have no idea
that they are breaking any law of
good manners, or any law Of kind
ness, so absorbed are they in their
own conversation.
Teach your children to leave a
room quietly and directly after the
proper moment arrives for the leave
taking.
The polite request of the host or
hostess for a longer call should be
met with a courteous expression of
regret that other engagements make
1t necessary to go now.

caller to remain it VIII be made en-

On Wobble Folks

women who work in the department
stores, because she buys a blue gown
on Monday and comes back and ex-
changes it for a red one on Tuesday.
There is no flaw TO find in the blue
one. 1t is as blue, as fashionable, of
a quality as durable today as yester-
day It is in every respect what it
had been represented to be. The
change was not in the purchase, but
in the purchaser.
Mr.. Wobbler is the man who on
a larger scale does exactly what Mrs.
Wobbler does-makes a bargain and re-
pudiates it. He is the chief trouble
source of the real estate companies.
He looks at lots or acreage or farm
or house, pays something down to
cinch the bargain" and the sale Is
made. At least it would be made had
the purchaser been anyone else than
Mr.. Wobbler When the times comes
to make a second payment Mr.. Wob-
bier is sick of his bargain. He can't
give any reason. Wobblers never can.
He is Just sick and he doesn't want to
pay another cent. If he were a wo-
man he would say, with an air of tri-
umphant finality, $50 there" But he
is a man, and the law assumes that
since his address is not an insane asy-
lum he is responsible for his acts.
wobbIe folk are in short, tender
plants that would be strong and fine
products, if it were possible to place
about them wind breaks to stop the
force of every gust Of anger, every
chilling blast of fear, every breeze
OF caprice. In a uniform temperate
like that preserved for infants in incu-
bators, they would thrive. But, alas
this is earth, not heaven, and no such
insulated mental state is possible.

Of life, yet it isn't the wobblers who
are made miserable by it, 1t is their

ABOUT FARM COOKING
REASONS WHY IT TOO OFTEN IS
NOT OF THE BEST.
Women Not Given Proper Chance to
Do Good Work-Conditions Such
That Wholesome, Nutritious
Meals Are impossible.

We believe that more dyspeptics
are every year produced on the farm
counting equal numbers-than in
the cities. and this belief Is based on
many years of observation and con-
siderable actual experience.
The reverse would naturally seem
to be true. as the farm cook has a
great advantage over her sister In
the city In the matter Of raw mate
rials-fruits. vegetables, butter. milk
and poultry. being always at hand in
abundance and fresh and wholesome
In condition.
With these advantages 1t may be
the charge then iS due to ignorance
or carelessness or both of the women
folk on the farm. But this Is not al
ways true.
The fact is that the men, who by
the way are the severest critics, are
themselves to blame. They do not
give their wives half a chance to do
good cooking. On thousands of pros
porous farms the housewife never has
sufficient time to do her work well;
she is not provided with the proper
facilities. Her kitchen is provided
with nothing more than the barest
necessities and she Is deprived of
such aids as hot and cold water. quick
fuel and an abundance Of cooking
utensils and tableware.
She Is not only the cook but the
handspring of the whole family. She
is doctor. nurse. counselor and friend;
beside the cares of maternity she Of
ten milks the cows. makes the but
ter. hoes the garden and makes new
clothing for her husband and children.
mends the old. sweeps and dusts.
gathers her own vegetables and fruit
and prepares them for cooking.
She is expected to make no ex-
cuses when the meals for the family,
large or small, are not ready and on
the table to the minute.
Naturally, under these conditions,
which exist on thousands Of farms,
and they are not oyerdrawn no wom-
an. no matter how good a cook she
may be, can properly prepare and
cook wholesome and nutritious food.
If the farm cooking is to be i'm
proved the men must supply their
wives with everything needed in the
kitchen and pantry. They must sup
ply them with help, at least until the
children are old enough to assist.
The wife must insist upon having
what she needs to work with and
she must abandon the work of the
dairy, garden and the poultry to the
men folk. She can teach her chill
dren. either boys or girls, to be Of
great assistance in her daily tasks.
She can SO regulate her work hours
that she will have time in which to
do good cooking. But, she cannot do
these things alone; she must have the
active and sympathetic assistance of
her husband, and If he refuses to give
her these. the family must be aban-
doned to dyspepsia and its attendant
miseries.-Exchange.
