by FRANCES sHAFFER.

! 1t was week or so ago that a woman
whose hair had been whitened by the
frosts Of seventy winters Travelled alone
from New York TO Rochester, and on
her way she had one of the unpleasant
| experiences that will come once in a
| long while, despite even the traditional
! respect for age.
! She met a party of three women openly
| aligned with the ''woman's cause" and,
as she tells the story, they had bitter
| little passage-at-arms over the question
of a seat The three were comfortably
settled for a long chat. with packages,
| grips, and other belongings snugly
packed about them. when she ventured
| to take a vacant seat by the side of one
of the number.
She was plainly unweicome, and they
! told her so in no uncertain tones. In the
! disagreeable alteration that followed she
won the seat. but according to her ver-
sion was a target for marked discOurtesy
| on the part of these women who had so
much important business to talk over
| that they could not possibly find time to
be polite.
They made significant remarks about
! that other passengers paused to listen
and to sympathize: at least, that is the
way she narrates the story.
When she reached home she was so
| impressed with the experience that she
embodied 1t in letter 10 her daughter,
and somehow il found its way to the
public prints.
Point of Her Letter.
And here's the point of her letter:
She called il very trivial thing to
write about. except as it showed how the
woman movement developed a new
type" self-asserting. domineering. and
~.
rest. and declared that it would be the
death blow TO the native chivalry of
our boys and men," Up to that time she
had not known exactly where she stood,
but that experience, unpleasant as it was,
had put her at complete rest as to the
'wOman's cause
A man, she said, who always had stood
on the side of woman had listened to the
talk and had decided that if that was
the type developed by the movement:
then his mind was quite made up.
And it was all SO revealing and con-
vincing that she wanted the daughter to
know, in order that she might not iden-
tify herself with such women
The Fair Way.
That was a very miserable experience,
particularly in view of her years: but
one of the nice things in this world of
many nice things is to have learned that
in such circumstances II is the indiEi-
dual, not the class and not the cause"
that counts. for at such times the indi-
vidual is not apt to sink below or rise
above himself.
But If one must look for types" for
the sake of making up ones mind. the
fair way is to turn to the big body of
men or women working for any particu-
lar cause, to watch the self-asserting,
domineering type, then pass on to the
quiet, sincere and purposeful majority
and judge them as a whole. For it seems
rather narrow and self-centered to take
a little individual experience and con-
denim or approve on so narrow a basis.
But the real fact is that courtesy or
discOurtesy, delicate tact or boorishness
and all the graces or deformitles that
make or mar a human life do not belong

FavOrS Abolition
OfLoafSugar BowI
In Restaurants

Surgeon General Rupert Blue. of the
United States Marine Hospital Service.
yesterday declared that the open loaf
sugar bowl commonly used in restau-
rants and cafes is a dangerous source of
disease. DIR. Blue believes that means
should be taken to abolish the use Of
lump sugar or that restaurant patrons
should be compelled 10 use tongs instead
OF helping themselves with their fingers
as is commonly done.
The present custom of helping ones
self to lump sugar with the fingers is
dangerous in the extreme" said Dr.-BIue.
In this way il is impossible to avoid
touching other Jumps which will be used
by other persons.
People who have tuberculosis and
other diseases can very easily communi-
cate them by this means. Restaurant
keepers should take measures to abolish
the lump sugar bowl or compel their pa
irons to use sugar tongs instead OF their
fingers. In view of this ii would seem
that loose sugar is the more sanitary.
One is compelled to use the spoon"
AS result of DR.. Blues statement it
is probable that Washington restaurant
keepers will abolish the lump sugar
bowl.

TOPICS OF INTEREST TO EVERY WOMAN
JULIA CHANDLER
SOME LITTLE HINTS
FOR THE HOSTESS

That meals should be deftly and
daintily served is important at any time,
but it makes all the difference in the
world in the summer. when the appetite
wants tempting and one turns away in
voluntarily and impatiently from a care
less table that seems to emphasize the
grossness OF eating at all and conveys
no notion of refinement.
II the table underneath is of any value
a heavy cloth OF felt should first be laid,
and the white cloth. spotless and un-
wrinkled, should be spread over this In
the center should be bowl Of flowers,
and none are prettier than wild flowers
If you do not have access to a garden in
the country; In the town, a green grow
ing plant can take the place of the bowl
and perhaps one or two specimen glasses
may be filled with flowers and placed
about the center of the table. .-.-
Spoons, knives and forks and crystal
should be bright and shiny, knives
and forks according to the meat dishes
to be served, with a spoon and fork for
the dessert. A table napkin is almost In
dIspensable Cunless serviettes of japanese
PAPER are preferred, and II is rather a
NICE idea to keep It, when not in use, in
an embroidered envelope OF linen.
Some people seem TO be quite incapable
of setting a table without forgetting some
small detail-the spoons or the salt for
the eggs, for instance. When a young
daughter fresh from school is prone to
such carelessness she should be taught
that whatever is worth doing is worth
doing well. and some time before the
meal she should write out a list of
things needed for the table, and when
everything is prepared she should refer
10 the list to see that nothing has been
forgotten In this way she will quickly
train her memory.
