WHAT MAKES GOOD HOSTESS
Ability to Entertain Lavlshly is .
Very Small Part Of Her
Qualifications.

A talent for originality is not suft
iicient to make a good hostese-thsf
goes without saying. 1t is not the
Dcuntebank who wins the genuine
praise of the initiated, but the real wit
who has the gift Of magnetism-that
is. Of sympathy with what is human
and lasting-and can touch the heart
of an audience. Is 1t not the drama
that can move to tears that remains
on the boards the longest? And Is
it not the m who loves her kind
who keeps their affection, who draws
people to her whether she is rich IN
this worlds goods or fortune turrs
beyond her delightful personality?

brick-floored little room-aH that re-
verses allowed her-as when b had

Nor did they gather less eagerly there
than in her beautiful home, because
she retained in her poverty the same
charm, the same qualities that had

A MUCH sketched and much talked
n Of costume, worn at the Chantilly
races, is pictured at the left of the
snapshot photograph which appears
here. 1t is in black satin with the
longest of white lace tunics over it
and a black satin coat. With the
same color combination, used in re-
verse order, is a costume Of white.
satin with overdrape of black lace,
at the right of the picture.
A throng of people attend these
meets for the sole purpose of staging
costumes in the most effective of set
tings. These people demonstrate the
modes and launch new styles. They
form the centers Of attraction for that
greater throng that is in attendance
for the purpose of looking at them.
The handsome costume which
caused so many modistes to take no
tice and SO many artists to level cam
eras or ply pencils, is chiefly remark
able for the oddly Of the lace of
which the tunic is made. Patterned
after al old idea, modern lace, show
ing figures on a net ground, was used
for this tunic. But the figures are
distinctly up to date, showing girls in
sweeping draperies and graceful out
lines encircling the tunic near the bot
tom. The figures and draperies are
cleverly outlined with run-in threads
and they, with the garlands Of flowers
and other figures, are brought out in a
cameo-like relief by the underskirt Of
black satin.

Farmer. Boycott Capital.

Jefferson City recently passed a
stringent ordinance requiring inspec-
ton of all dairies and COWS from
which milk is sold within its munich
pal limits. Under this ordinance, en-
acted as a result of an active cam
paign conducted in the main by the
Housewives league, DR.. ]. F. Hendy,
a member of the state veterinary
board, has been appointed city milk
inspector.
Apparently the measure was salts
factory all around and was regarded
as a complete triumph fer better and
more progressive civic ideals.
The reverse side of the picture has
developed in the last few days in a
movement by the farmers for miles
around the state capital to boycott
the city. They declare they no long
er will patronize the business houses
of Jefferson City.
Practically every farmer within a
radius of several miles of town keeps
from two to six cows, and it has been
the custom for years for them to find
a market for their butter and milk
among the families of Jefferson City.
This arrangement has been mutually
satisfactory and in many instances
trade relations of this kind date back
for a generation.
Now the farmers say they II in
the milk and butter business only in
an incidental way and there is not
sufficient profit in it for them to pay
the inspection fees.
They declare they will not only
a bringing butter and milk to
their customers in Jefferson City, but
will inaugurate a boycott. What they
cannot buy from the local merchant
in the rural towns they will get
through the parcel post from the mer.
chants of the large cities.
With this source of supply cut off
it is expected there will be an ad,
vance in the price of milk, at least
In fact, some of the diaries in the city
have already notified customers of a
slight advance.
On top of the raise in milk rates, il
is feared the worst result of the stu
alton will be a shortage in the mill
supply, due to the cutting off of tha'
which came from the farmers.
They admit that a dairy where {
large herd of COWS is kept should bt
inspected, but they argue, on the
other hand, that where only a few
COW are kept in pastures and rarel,
housed natures hygienic regulation
are superior to those Of men.

Alrmen,s Dinner Conc.

One of the strangest dinner gongs
in the world hangs outside a mess
tent at the army flying camp at
N~etheravon, on Salisbury Plain, Eng
land. 1t is an old cylinder of a Gnome
aeroplane engine, strung between two
posts. When sharply struck the CYL
inder gives out a clear, resounding
noise, which calls the airmen to their
dinner as effectively as an ornate din
ner gong.

Doc Grieved for Horse.

A remarkable display of emotion on
the part OF a dog was given recently
in the Bellevue hospital stables, New
York, when Baby, the veteran favorite
ambulance horse, died suddenly.
Alice, a Boston bull, has been insep-
arabic from Baby since her rescue by
stablemen, three years ago. The grief
and actions of the animal so impressed

the growth of moulds, but also makes
the membranes more pervious to bac-
terra and assists in their development.
Remove the male birds as soon as
the breeding season is over. Fertile
eggs do not keep well. Five per cent
of all eggs marketed are a total loss
because of chick development. Be-
sides, a large proportion of rots is
due directly to chick development be-
ing retarded. The object of a hen in
producing eggs is to reproduce her
self. If males are present and the
egg is fertilized, the embryo starts to
develop within the body of the hen.
When a proper temperature is again
maintained this development contin-
ues. There will be slow growth at
any temperature above 70 degrees,
Fahrenheit. A temperature Of 1880
F. for three days will produce as great
a development as one day at a tenn

PRIZE FOOD.
PalatabIe, Economical, NourIshlng.

-
A Nebr. woman has outlined the
prize food in a few words, and that
from personal experience. She
writes:
after our long experience with
Grape-Nuts, I cannot say enough In
Its favor. We have used this food al
most continually for seven years.
we sometimes tried other adver-
tised breakfast foods but we invariably
returned to Grape-Nuts az the most
palatable, economical and nourishing
of all.
"When / quit tea and coffee and
began to use Postum and Grape-Nuts,
I was almost a nervous wreck. | was
SO irritable I could not sleep nights,
had no interest in life.
after using Grape-Nuts a short
time l began to improve and all these
ailments have disappeared and now
am a we'll woman. My two children
have been almost raised on Grape
Nuts, which they eat three times q
day.
They are pictures of health and
have never had the least symptom or
stomach trouble, ven through the
most severe siege Of whooping cough
they could retain Grape-Nuts when all
else failed. :
"Grape-Nuts food has saved doctor
bills, and has been, therefore, q most
economical food for US"

the face is liked by the younger
women. Only a few curls about the
face relieve the plainness Of this style,
but a mass of hair piled on top of the
head makes a piquant arrangement
suited to youthful faces.
Puffs and short curls are becoming
to everyone and look as we'll on grand
mama as on her daughter and daugh,
ter's daughter. They are most sue
cessful when made separately and
pinned on, for they can be easily
dressed and placed wherever needed.
There is no very good reason why
one should not borrow the charm that
belongs to them unless a prejudice
against wearing separate pieces of
hair can be construed as reasonable.

Railroads Want Raise.


James f. Green, attorney for the
Missouri Pacific, and General Counsel
Thomas r. Morrow of the Santa Fe
notified the public service commits
sion that the railroads of Missouri
were preparing to demand a general
REIMBURSEMENT of railroad rates which,
if allowed by the commission, would
result in a general increase through
out the state.
The heW schedule which they will
ask the commission to approve, they
said, will be ready in 80 days. The
decision Of the supreme court in the
Missouri Southern case, declaring the
commission has the power to raise
rates above the statutory schedule,
will be cited as authority for the pro-
posed increase.
Green, Morrow and about so other
attorneys and officials Of Missouri
railroads attended the hearing of the
commission to revise the present
schedule of freight rates by substitute
ing reduced rates on through traffic
handled by more than n line.
Representatives Of the roads asked
that the commission postpone the fix
ing of through rates 80 days until
they could submit their new increased
schedules for single line hauling.
They argued that through rates
fixed on the basis Of present single
rates would amount to an admission
by them that the present rates are
sufficiently high. Present single line
rates are so low, they commended, thai
they are unable to make a fair return
on their investment.

Eggs are a p~erishable product.
Their quality ~depreciates with age,
especially when improperly handled.
A common conception is that cold
storage is responsible for the average
low quality of eggs, but this is a mis-
take. Eggs deteriorate very little, if
In good condition when placed in
storage. The deterioration Of quality
and the corresponding depreciation in
value are due to causes outside the
storage.
A new-laid egg is nutritious food,
but the average egg reaches the mar
bet in such a condition that the con-
Sumer hesitates before he has suffi-
pient courage to use 1t. The consump-
zion of eggs is much less because of
the neglect that permits such a de-
t%erioration.
Bad eggs are due to climatic condi-
tions, careless or deliberately bad
marketing and poor car of poultry

ADVICE on PastuerIzatlon.

The Bureau of Animal Husbandry
at Washington has issued a mono
graph dealing with the cost of pas

of view. 1t contains desirable infor-
nation for proprietors of creameries
and milk plants and for designers and
manufacturers Of pasteurizing appa-

embryo as far developed as three days
at a temperature of 103.
Production of infertile eggs is espe-
cially advantageous during the sum-
mer. They do not develop germs,
stand shipment well, Withstand heat,
are easily preserved, slow to decay
and cost less. The highest market
price for old male birds is at the end
of the breeding season, and the hens
will lay as well or better with no
males present in the flock. An infer.
tile egg a thus be produced and, IL
%unwashed, will keep indefinitely. A
large percentage will dry up before
they will rot.
In Bulletin No. 100, bureau of ami
NAL industry, the losses on infertile
eggs in some experimental work are
given as follows:
Per Cent.
Loss on farm .............. 1876
Loss during stay in town $500. 40
Loss during transportation 49,. Az
Total loss .24.2
For fertile eggs:
Per Cent.
Loss on farm 1910
Loss during stay in town ...... IL
Loss during transportation ...... GA
Total loss 80. .42.B
The greater loss is on the farm, and
by the production Of infertile eggs
this loss was reduced from 20 to 1876
per cent, or a loss Of 1876 per cent was
saved on the farm by the production
Of infertile eggs, while the total loss
was reduced from 42.5 per cent to 24.2
per cent, or a loss of 1873 per cent
was prevented by the removal of the
male birds.
Store eggs In cool places which are
well ventilated and dry. Heat assists
in chick development, increases
~shrinkage and develops moulds. Col
lects eggs from nests daily, or twice
daily in warm weather. Stolen nests
are largely responsible for rotten
eggs. Keep eggs away from bad
doors; they absorb odors as readily
as cream, and they should be kept
away from kerosene, cabbage, rotten
food, fresh paint, etc. Market eggs
at least once a week. An egg deteri-
crates in quality with age. Eggs
should not be held until the basket is
full or the price goes up. They should
always be covered so as to prevent
dust from settling upon them and flies
from running over them.
Secure a suitable egg CASE for mar
keting eggs, and produce only those Of
one color. Insist that your egg buyer
recognize quality--that he buy on a
quality and loss off" basis. BY loss
off basis Is meant to candle the eggs
as they are brought in, to pay for the
good ones at a higher rate and to
turn the bad ones back to the pro
Queer.

Iet OCLlCt " Sbly+ -
The law enacted by the last legis-
lature authorizing travelling statesmen,
trainmen and other Missouri voters
absent from home on election day to
vote at any precinct in Missouri
where they chance to be does not ap-
ply to primary elections. according to
an opinion rendered to the secretary
of state by Lee B. Ewing, assistant at
torney-general.
A previous opinion had been rem
dered by Ewing to the effect that the
absentee voters law applies to pri-
mary as well as general elections.
After a reconsideration Of the mat
ter he concluded the first opinion was
erroneous and so advised Secretary of
State Roach, who mailed copies of
the opinion to all county clerks to
guide them in the preparation of the
instructions pertaining to the cleo
ton.
Ewing said, in part: "Since rem
dering the opinion to you of May ~,
regarding the absentee voters law
found at pages 324 and 1926, laws of
1918, this department has had its at
tention directed to features Of the law
that cause us to conclude that that
opinion was erroneous. The depart
ment therefore holds that the law
does not apply to primary elections.
"We write you this in order that
you may advise the various county
clerks and election commissioners
and thereby avoid any possibility of
contests growing out Of absentees
voting"
