It's beautiful schedule. Dubuque,
after travelling all night was unable
to get home in time for today's game
while Quincy was held up at Gales
burg and necessitated postponing to-
days game in Rock Island.
Peachy Graham, one of the eight
men involved in a trade between the
Chicago Cubs and the Boston club
Saturday, jumped right into the
game with the former club. He got
a hit Saturday and two yesterday
and did nice work behind the bat
1t is given out that he will be carried
as extra catcher when Archer can
take the place behind the bat regu
larly. thus filling the shoes of John
Killing, who has not been doing the

fully since the days when he pitched
and played in a utility role for Rock
Island.

The Evening Chit Chat
By RUTH CAMERON

d iHY doesn't the minister come to tea any more nowadays?
w The regular, way he used to,
w I mean
Surely there isn't anyone whose memory reaches back two or three
decades but al remember the days when one would have as soon
thought of emitting ones spring housekeeping Is the minister's annual
supper invitation.
I was talking with a woman who vas a Methodist minister's daugh-
ter about this, and she told me how one day a little girl same to the par
sonage and said her mother would like to have the minister com to ta
next Wednesday. "She said you might as well come low and get 1t over
for the winter" the youngster gratuitously explained.
Which is by way of illustrating not only infant depraV1ty, but also
the inevitable character of the minister's annual tea in the long ago.
And now-weIl, how long since the minister's been to your house
to supper; dinner, l mean, of course?
No, l don't suppose it will make any particular difference in your
spiritual tate or In his happiness, If he never comes.
It's just one of those pleasant old customs that l somehow hate to
zee go-one of those relics of the time when Sunday morning church was
al inexorable custom, not a possible alternative to resting or peasuring,
and when the minister al one of the first men of the town and at the
same time the personal friend of his flock.
And then, too, I'm sorry for the children of today who miss the de-
lecable excitement of this occasion. Will the children of the last genera
ton ever forget the delicious cream of tartar biscuits or Parker House
rolls, and the peach preserves, and the festiveness of the best dishes, and
the wonderful three layer cake, and the thrilling embarrassment of being
asked where one went to school and If one liked 1t, by the minister
ON the great day when the minister came to te2
And in those days when supper was supper, instead II dinner, we
used to have u chldrens schoo1marm to tea omeumes, too.
Do you ever do that now? a
Do you even know by sight the woman who presfdes over mor of
your ch1drens waking time than you do yourself1 -
Or has se like the minister, ceased to be SO much a person and
become more an institution to you?
This is the day of organizations and institutions and impersonal re-
laionships.
OF course in som ways it's a very splendid day. but then again I
think VIZ lose something of the old pleasant friendly flavor from u lives
when We drop little customs like these.
Don't you?

/%HERE was a vase of roses beside the bed when daddy came in to say

"Thats a story" smiled daddy.
Tell It, then" urged the children, and daddNsnuggled down In the corner
beside the roses and took a long breath
"Once upon a time" said daddy, "te queen Of the flowers gathered all er

Good
form


Don't wear colored or fancy open
work stockings with your street shoes.
Always choose plain stockings TO match
the shoes in color.
Don't pin your ruching and dress
shields IN place. Basic them instead
and see how much more comfort they
give you. It really doesn't take much
longer" to haste than to pin.
Don't think that because coIiaTless
dresses and blouses are fashionable
you can wear q low cut dress on the
Itreet. There is a vast difference be-
tween ~"collarless" and low necked"
Don't buy any cheap jewelry and
imagine it looks like anything but just
what it ts-a cheap imitation Of a good
article. Much tewelry is in bad taste
at any time except with elaborate
evening dress.
Don't wear soiled and mussed frills
and ruehings. You had much better
wear perfectly plain clothes without
trimmings II you cannot keep these
dainty accessories fresh and without
soil.
Don't forget to see that your blouse
is properly fastened before leaving
your mirror. The waist gaping open
at the back not only looks careless,
but may you some embarrass-
ment too.
Don't allow your skirt to slip from
under your belt. In these days there
are so many devices for holding the
blouses, skirts and belts in place that
there is no girl who cannot find one TO
answer her purpose If she only tries.
Don't wear shoes or gloves that have
lost their buttons and never wear
shabby shoes or gloves if you can pos
sibly avoid it. Keep the former nicely
polished and the heels straight; keep
the buttons on and the rips mended in
the latter.

EtiSuette For Children.

IN answering q person children
should not say Yes, ms'am," or mo,
sir" but yes, mother" mo, father"
II hope so, Mrs. Brown" Thank you,
Aunt Helen" They should. in other
words, always afax the title or name
Of the person spoken to.
Shyness is generally due TO Ignorance
Of what is expected Of one; therefore
the shy child must be treated with
great consideration and encouraged to
come among strangers and older peo-
pie and then be shown Just what to do
and say.
No school Of etiquette offers so many
opportunities to Its members to learn
the correct way Of doing things as the
family table. No corrections should.
however, be made in such manner as
to attract the attention Of others, and.
If possible, make the corrections after
the meal is over.

Cross, Sick Children
Will Take 'casearsts
1t is cruel and needless to force a
feyerish, irritable child to take
a nauseating dose of oil.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the physic that mother in
sisted on once in a while-castor oil,
salts or cathartics. How you hated
them. How you fought against TAX
ing them. How you dreaded their
a~fter-effects. That was all wrong.
but then nobody knew better.
With our children it's different.
They belong t the day of the gentle
in medicine. The day of harsh physics
is over. We don't force the bowels
now; we coax them. We have no
dreaded after-efects. And the dose
is a candy tablet.
Mothers who cling to the old form
of physic simply don't know what
they do. The children's revolt IS
well-founded. Their tender bowels
are harmed by them. The modern
way is to give a gentle laxative. and
to give 1t more frequently. To keep
the bowels always active. The best
method Is Cascarets. One-half a
tablet. as often as needed. does more
than anything else to keep a child
we'll. Keep a 10 cent box at home
always. They are best for mamma
and daddy. too.

EAcaiNinn Guesfs.

How many women fail in the polite
nesses here when they give themselves
up to informal ways Of doing things.
A visitor not too well known calls, and
the lady Of the house comes down in a
loose, bIousy wrapper, none too pretty
or neat, without a word Of excuse for
not being properly dressed.
This is carrying informally to the
point Of ignorance, for If there is any
reason why a loose garment is worn
at a visiting hour it should at least be
attractive and partially fitted to the
figure Then, IN the event of some
slight i~ndispositions 1t Is possible tt
invite a woman guest to go upstairs
into a bedroom, where the dowdy dress
Of the hostess would not be so much
out Of place.
To receive a man friend in such at
tire would be a grave indiscredon, for
men abominate the flowing, unattrac-
tive robe, and as 1t is always sug-
gestive Of the absence of corsets 1t
seems on such occasions vulgar in the
extreme.
The easy house gown, then, must
look as II it is worn over corsets to
be within the pale Of the proprieties,
and if masculine eyes are to look upon
1t it must be attractive and belted In
to the figure t boot. But only an old
lady or a young matron who is com
PEELED to dress in this manner should
make a practice Of receiving guests In
such informal attire, for the dignity of
suitable dress adds greatly to ones
social importance-above all, pretty,
proper and becoming dress IN the
home.

IS from proc~rastinatiOn.
Whatever the reason, It IS a mistake.
There are some few who dislike out
side sympathy in sorrow. The majority
are hurt If it is not given. They v
quite feel the same toward the friend
who they think was neglectful Of their
trouble.
The visiting card with a few words
of sympathy is sufficient, save among
close friends. A married woman In
closes the card Of her husband.
Never make a note of coincidence
stilted. 1t should express you and
not be an essay on grief. Also bs
brief. A few sincere sentences count
more than pages Of rambling plah'
tudes.
1t is customary TO send the note to
the member Of the family you know
best, including the others in your ex-
pressions Of sympathy.
