WHEN INTRODUCING
BY LUCILLE DANDET.

no INTRODUCE or not to in
troduce That seems to be the
question at present. When shall
we present our friends and acquailt-
ances to each other and when shall
we refrain from so doing?
In chance meetings the best usage
is not to introduce people who will,
in all probability, see each other but
for a few moments, but always to
do so whenever it is necessary to
avoid awkwardness or the slightest
appearance of rudeness.
AS everybody knows, the gentle
man should invariably be presented
to the lady, and when there is a
great difference in age, the younger
lady to the elder. 1t is sufficient sim
ply to mention the two names, as
Mrs. Green, Mr.. West" Very con-
ventional people, however, consider
it rather more elegant to say, Mrs.
Green, allow me to introduce Cor to

fact, though, nobody pays much at

the two names, and one should en-
deavor to pronounce these very dis
tinctly.

FASHIONDOM
Announces New
Motifs
BY MRS. KINGSLEY.

~ HE newest little fads of fash
lon are many. The darpet
embroidery introduced upon
the collars of the latest coats is of
eastern design. Most of them, with
their ancient coloring and velvety
soItness, appear like pieces cut from
old prayer rugs.
Another type of embroidery is the
rather crude wool work wrought by
the peasantry of Central Europe.
With the woods dyed by vegetable
agency and the long bold stitches
USED IN the design, they seem ages
old.
Green, blue, yellow and red are
used in the set mosaic designs. This
used on a coat of a dark color gives
a striking effect.
Novelty fur coats are much sought
after. Ermine is used without the
tails A coat of this fur had a band
of seal skin at the hem. The same
fur formed collar and cuffs and pro-
duced an extraordinary combination.
A most unusual costume was
fashioned from black velvet. The
skirt, slightly wider than those pop
ular earlier in the season, had a hem
OF erm1ne- The coat was a tunic,
resembling those worn at church A
design of roses and tendrils made of
erm1ne completely covered the back
and front. An ermine scarf was worn
with this
The blanket coat is another nov
city. This is made of material re-
sembling soft blankets. 1t is re-
and comes in all shades and
tints. A coat made of this heavy
cloth was of mauve and rose A
double hood turned back with huge
reyers formed the only trimming.
Hair ornaments may be as elabor-
ate as desired and yet follow the lines
Of simplicity.

MANNERS

you ought to understand, if you
don't already, that if you take
chicken or bird bone in the
left hand and nibble it prettiIy, you
would be doing quite a permissible
thing, whereas to hold the bone in
both hands and eat greedily is an
actual impertinence.
But what does it meaD, all this
folderol, as you may be inclined to
call it? 1t means, first. that hui
manity has emerged from the savage
state and intends to keep on proving
1t. 1t means, secondly a delicate
consideration for every other human
being, as a compliment to their dig
nifty, as it were, and scrupulous
precaution agains the possibility of
offending their stomachs. Lastly, it
means an evidence of proper self
respect and pride-the innate culture
which stands for the lady or gentle
man.

rite, then, the woman light house

1t will never be forgotten.
To sub up the moral significance
of table manners, it must be remem-
bered always that the offer of a meal
in private family is the highest
compliment that can be paid 1t is
incumbent upon the guest, then, to
hold all that has passed at this table
as holy, whether some defects marked
the meal or not. Which is to say,
there must be no unfiatering discus
sion of the entertainers upon going
home, no ungracious word concern
ing the meal or its manner Of serv-
ing.

Bowels GET Weak
As Age Advances
The First Necessity Is to Keep the
Bowels Gently Open With
Mild Laxative Tonic.

Healthy old age is so absolutely de-
pendent upon the condition OF the
bowels that great care should be
taken to see that they act regularly.
The fact is that as age advances the
stomach muscles become weak and
inactive and the liver does not store
up the juices that are necessary to
prompt digestion.
Some help can be obtained by eat
ing easily digested foods and by
plenty of exercise, but this latter is
irksome to most elderly people. One
thing is certain, that state OF con-
stipation should always be avoided as
It is dangerous to life and health. The
best plan is to take a mild laxative
as often as is deemed necessary. But
with equal certainty It is suggested
that cathartics, purgatives, physics,
salts and pills be avoided, as they do
but temporary good and are so harsh
as to be a shock TO a delicate system.
A much better plan, and one that
thousands of elderly people are fol-
lowing. is to take a gentle laxative
tonic like DR. Caldwells Syrup Pep
sin, which acts as nearly like ma
ture as Is possible IN fact, the ten
dency OF this remedy is TO strength
en- the stomach and bowel muscles
and so train them to act naturally
again, when medicines Of all kinds
can usually be disposed with. This
is the opinion Of many people Of diff
ferent ages, among them Mr.. Henry
