Exit the Debutant. SIouch.

Changing the style Of our garments Is
a matter of visits to the dressmaker, trips
to the shops and a fair sized bank &C
count But not so the task OF changing
our carriage. However, the fact seems
to be established that the debutante
slouch has gone by the boards. The erect,
straight-shouldered mode Of standing has
broken back into fashion.
To be sure our favorite actresses still
slouch, droop-shouldered, across the stage.
The hunched-up shoulders and prominent
abdomen. is still affected by many of US
for fashions sake. But these things are
on the wrong side Of the fence of fashion.
Perhaps it is the military influence that
has sounded the death knell OF this de-
butante sIouch. Military coats and SOL
dierly hats could never prevail in a sea-
son of the droop-shouldered walk.
It will be really difficult for many women
to get out Of their slouching habits of
the last few seasons, much harder than
it was to get into them, and it will need a
great deal Of perseverance and concen-
tration to remind US that the comfortable
gait that we have been going lately has
had its day. Hereafter the marching or
ders of fashion are to be: Shoulders

Guests of Hotels Shop Early
Quantity Of Packages Re-
ceived Shows that Shop
ping Is Being Done Earlier
Than Ever Before.

do your Christmas shopping early
the slogan which has faced US in all the
department stores, called to US from signs
posted in hotel Hobbies and screamed out
from glaring red letters on the street
cars-is being obeyed II the package re-
ceipts at the leading hotels in Washing
ton can be taken as a criterion
Guests in the New Willard are evil
IDENTIFY doing their Christmas shopping
early" said Frank S. Hight manager OF
that hotel, when discussing the early
Christmas shopping spirit among women.
THE package receipts have increased
100 per cent, and some Of them are OF no
small dimensions. OF course. this means
much added work for the clerks and bell
boys, but it seems this year that they are
all imbued with the early Christmas
spirit. and every one is willing to help
and there Is no complaint
I'VE are pleased, too. that the Christ
mas rush has started So soon, because II
means that there will be less strain later
and every one will be better pleased
Heretofore Christmas Eve and Christmas
Day have held few blessings for the hotel
employe because of the extra amount of
last-mnute rushes and the tremendous
work 1t has entailed, but this year We are
looking forward to Christmas with much
early" said Mr.. Hight.
The Shoreham employees are delighted
to see that the guests here are obeying
the order issued by charitable and
thoughtful people to shop early. and from
the increased quantity of the packages
received in the hotel there is no doubt
but that Christmas shopping is being
done earlier this year than ever before"
declared R. S. Downs, manager Of the
Shoreham Hotel, yesterday.
Numbers OF the Shoreham guests have
open accounts at the different big depart
ment stores, and they have parcel post
packages mailed directly from the stores
in which they are purchased, but also a
large number are sent to The hotel for
repackage," continued Mr.. Downs. But
what makes the clerks and other en-
ployes SO joyful Is that there will not be
the condensed rush when the last horn
blows for Christmas"
Mr.. Downs also says that numbers of
hotel guests. not only at the Shoreham,
but in every hotel. have various and nu-
merous packages sent c. o. D., and while
the employees do not object to any extra
accommodation for the guest, still when
the Christmas rush does come c. o. D.

A Good Luncheon Served
For a Good Cause

! Whoever heard of a man who would
go willingly to the old-fashioned sort OF
charity fair? OF course, they did some
times go because they were forced into
it. This season. however, clever Wash
ington women have tried to devise a plan
to tempt the men to help their favorite
charities.
| The women who direct the undertake
ings of the Washington Eye Ear and
Throat Hospital were clever indeed when
/ they decided to have a luncheon in con-
nection with their annual charity bazaar
la luncheon that would tempt the men
as we'll as the women in the city and
that would be in convenient neighborhood
for the greatest number of busy people.
Yesterday. the first day of the three
days stand of this luncheon and charity
bazaar. proved to be a great success-and
that in spite of the unsettled weather.
Today and the next day the luncheon and
bazaar will continue to be held at the
old Masonic Temple, at Ninth and F
streets.
This institution, which has been in ex-
istance short of two years, is one or
Washington's most deserving charities.
1t is predicted that the increased at
tendance of the clinic cases will run the
number of charitable treatments for this
year to more than 5000; and this year,
when there are so many appeals for the
war sufferers of Europe, the Eye, Ear
and Throat Hospital right here at home
is most pressingly in need of funds.
The board Of governors of the society
consists of sixty prominent professional
and business men. all Of whom are pa
tronizng this luncheon and bazaar given
by the board of women managers, Of
which there are sixty active and fifteen
associate members. The officers OF the
womans board are as follows: President,
Mrs Oscar Wilkinson; vice presidents,
Mrs Harvey S. Irwin, Mrs. c. L. Henry.
Mrs. A. ]. Riley, and Mrs. Ambrose
Timberlake; recording secretary, Mrs.
Chester Smith: treasurer, Mrs. George
Wallace; financial secretary, Mrs. A. H.
Giles; corresponding cretary, Mrs.
Henry c. Swan. The chairmen OF the
standing committees are: Membership,
Miss Sarah Stevens: ways and means,
Mrs Oscar H. Coumbe; house, Mrs.
Theodore Michael; donation, Mrs Martin
L. Bundy; printing, Mrs. J. c. Vonhees,
and press, Mrs. Walter P. Ramsey.

Many delicious variations can be made
with the plain omelet as a point OF de-
parture. SardInes broken up and mixed
with lemon juice and melted butter.
anchovy paste, a teaspoonful mixed
smooth with two tablespoonfuls Of melted
butter; grated cheese Of any kind a cup
full of cooked oysters finely minced.
chopped parsley, as well as any bits OF
minced meat, ham, kidney, chicken. liver.
sausage, cooked bacon, all these additions
are worth while.
A delicate change from the plain kind
is the omelet a la creme. For it make a
cream sauce and mix half a cupful with
the six egg omelet before cooking. Spread
the same amount of cream sauce on half
of the omelet before folding it. This
sauce should be moderately thick, made
with a cupful of milk and two tablespoon
fuls each Of butter and -four.
omeIets with Rum.
Blazing omelet is a plain omelet over
which a little rum or brandy is poured.
The alcohol is lighted as the omelet is
sent to the table and as soon as 1t has
burned of the omelet should be eaten.
A well made and we'll seasoned Spanish
omeIet is a lunch in itself. Melt table
spoonful of butter in a saucepan, add an
onion chopped fine, six mushrooms and
one red and one green sweet pepper cut
in small pieces. Cover and cook slowly
for twenty minutes. Make plain omelet
from six eggs, turn it on a hot platter,
pour the Spanish sauce around 1t and
send at once to the table. Spanish omelet
is sometimes made by American cooks
from stiffly beaten eggs, the yolk hardly
mixed with the whites even after they
are cooked.
Quaker Omelet.
Quaker omelet is a good one for a be-
ginner, for it is hardly an omelet at all.

Two English countesses and an Amer
lean poet share the birthday honors OF
December 10 Ada Augusta, Countess of
Lovelace, was the only child OF the poet
Byron. She was born ninety-nine years
ago today. Aside from the fact that she
was the only child OF so celebrated a
person as Lord Byron she gained con-
siderable reputation as a mathematician.
The other English countess who was
born on December 10 was Mary Rich.
who lived three centuries ago She was
the daughter OF an English nobleman
who had succeeded in marrying OF his
six eldest daughters with great dIstinc-
ton. When II came time for the young
est one. Mary, to be married the father
tried to persuade her to marry the only
son OF a viscount, but Mary was obdur-
ate and refused to be married In fact
she had decided to marry Charles, the
second son Of the Earl OF Warwick, a
man without wealth and, being the sec
ond son, not likely to come into title
Mary was banished from home to a lit
tie place near Hampton court, and here
she met and secretly married the man
she loved. AS events turnd out the por-
tionless son eventually did succeed to
his fathers title and estates. After her
marriage Mary became very religious
Every morning, winter ana summer, she
would retire to a portion OF her hus-
bands estate called the wilderness gar
den'' and there mediate and pray In
solitude. She devoted her life to works
of piety and charity. and the home OF
the Earl and Countess OF Warwick was
a celebrated meeting place for the lead
ing Puritan divines OF the time.
Emily Elizabeth Dickinson, who was
born December 10 1880. was an eccentric
American poet Of considerable ability.
She was born in Massachusetts and re-
mained there almost all her life, being
one OF the early graduates from Mount
Holyoke College, not far away from her
home. As she grew older she developed
a strange distaste for society, and while
at first she simply avoided II, she later
refused to see any one but her immedi-
ate family and finally would not even
write the addresses on the letters she
wrote because OF her unwillingness to
let her handwriting be seen So publicly
But she continued to keep up a large
correspondence, and through her bril-
liant letters kept many valuable friend
ships throughout her life After her
death l.eOo poems that she had been en-
gagged in writing throughout her life
were discovered in her desk. none OF
which had ever been published. or ap-
parently. ever read by any one save their
author. These possessed considerable
merit and were published with great sue
cess not long after her death.

BLOOD WILL TELL"

Blood will tell,' is an axiom that in

from the sound and healthy constitu-
tion Of his immediate parents, whose
only distinction is honorable toll and
a simple, virtuous life.

obtain it, but it matters all the world

Constant vigilance is the price of health
Moreover. II is the price of comfor- for
the housekeeper., II she knows that all
food that is served at the table she
plans for is safeguarded as far as II
Is possible TO safeguard IL, she can
rest assured that her family is under
going the least danger possible from con-
taminated food.
To begin with, cleanliness Is Of great
est Importance.
The refrigerator must be always Glen.
There must be a sweet odor from It when
the door is open-not a damp, musty
odor. 1t must be cleaned couple of
times a week with hot water and wash
ing soda and the drain pipe from the re-
frigerator must be flushed with this hot
soda water.
An dishes in which food is put in the
refrigerator must be clean. Covered glass
fruit Jars are good receptacles for stor-
ing food. For their size, they take up
little room. That is to say. their base is
small and two or three quart fruit Jars
take up no more room than a nat quart
bowl EnameIed dishes are also good
for storing food. Fruit and vegetables
can be put away in baskets. which should
be scalded occasionally.
Butter, cheese, mayonnaise and milk
should always be stored in closed and
covered receptacles-again the covered
glass fruit jar is good.
Look to the cleanliness OF all cooking
utensils. Every month treat them all to
twenty minutes in hot soda wate- over
the fire-all excepting the eluminum uten-
sils. Soda discolors these. Boil aluminium
IN clear water occasionally.
Scrape the wooden chopping bowl and
wooden molding boards. Particles OF
food are retained by wood even when It
appears to be clean
If your water supply Is impure, never
wash celery or lettuce in It; use boiled
water for this purpose. Then wrap the
lettuce or celery in a clean cloth and
put II in the refrigerator
Empty all canned goods as soon as
they are open. Poisoning from c. ned
vegetables or fruit that have been allow
ed to remain in tin after being opened
is not infreQuent-
Reject any food that has an unpleasant
taste. 1t Is almost always possible to
detect harmful properties in food by the
odor. Fish that is harboring ptomaines
usually has a dLsagreeable odor. just as
rancid butter has
Keep fish. caulifower. cooked cabbage
or any other food with a strong odor in

foods are quickly absorbed by other food
and although they are not harmful, they

Better Babies Contest
Proves Great Success

The officers of the Washington Diet
Kitchen Association feel sure that the
contest this year will be a far greater
success than any one predicted at the
outset Hundreds Of communications
have been received from mothers who
wish to enter their babies in the con-
test.
Miss EstelI Wheeler is supervisor of
the six stations Of the association in vari-
GUS parts of the city. She said yesterday
that many mothers have sent the names
and other information about their babies
by mail to the stations of the association,
believing that they can be entered in that
manner, but it is pointed out by Miss
Wheeler that the baby must be taken to
one of the various stations and recorded.
Entries in the contest close January II,
and the prizes are to be awarded baby
day in the auditorium of Woodward &
Lothrop's.
