HOUSEKEEPERS SHOULD
INSPECT FOOD STUFF
The conditions of our groceries and
markets depend on what we demand.
If we stay at home, ordering by
telephone, not knowing if the place
be clean or if those who handle our
goods do so in Clearly manner, we
are to blame for bad conditions.
Most American women do things
the easiest way; but it is the duty of
every housewife to go as often as
possible to the place where she pur-
chases the food for the family.
If the storekeeper sees you are par
ticular, he surely will realize that, to
keep your trade, he must keep the
shop or store in clean condition.
Markets should not have a layer
of sawdust on the floor. ..
Baskets that have stood up the
sidewalk should not be placed on top
of articles of food.
Insist that every article shall be
delivered wrapped. This serves two
purposes cleanliness, as well as as
surance that all the apples or pota-
toes or carrots or tomatoes you pur-
chased reach your home. l know OF
a grocery delivery boy who, by taking
one potato, apple, or anything he
could from each order, filed basket
for himself.
High cost of living may be much
reduced by insisting upon receiving
ali for which you have paid; and the
man who sells you groceries will give
you the respect he does to any good
business man.

Business Manners.

To the business woman the men in
the Office are men, Of course. but with
a difference-just the difference that
the fact that she is working with them
must make.
She will not he the less polite or the
less pleasant, but she will be a little
more reserved. In the sanctuary of
her own home she may rightly unbend,
but in the arena of business she must
keep her armor of dignity and discre-
ton. At home she may choose her
men associates. In business she can
not, and her colleagues as we'll as her
employers are the gift of necessity. not
of free will.
She should remember that in an Of
fee her sex is. as it were, on trial,
and by her behavior it stands or falls
in the eyes of others.
Even the pretty license allowed her
in the social world because of her sex ia
not for her here. 1t would be as much
out of place as a ball dress in a kitch-
en-. Yet the ordinary courtesy that ev-
cry man should pay to a girl she should

THE LONG WASTED BODICE.

All Fashion Leaders Seem to Have Ae-
cepted 1t.
The most startling fashion innova-
ton is the quick and emphatic length.
ening of the line from the neck to the
hips. Very few designers hold to the
short line now, and even those who
would not %relinquish it under the on
slaught made by the Russian and Per-
sian fashions are giving in to this new
arrangement.
The threatened close fitting of the fig
ure has not m%aterialized. These long
wasted bodices drop in a straight line
from the neck to the tunic or sash and.
make the figure look exceedingly young
by this adjustment. 1t evidently was
the only way to get around the large
waist measurements Of the woman of,
the hour. '
The sash placed as it is today, at the
end of this straignl basque or p%inafore,,
contributes to this youthful appearance.
but woe to the woman who adopts 1t,
when her figure cannot afford it. She
should be guided into the safer method
of a binding material or a silk cord. =,
1t is probable this dominating style
will alter the waist line of all gar
ments. Some arrangement will be
made on evening gowns to lengthen
the line without taking up the pinafore,
which is hardly a suitable style for a
dinner party. If a woman owns an
evening gown that she wishes to re
arrange in the new fashion the SIM
plest method by which to obtain the
desired result is to add a deep girdle of
silk or satin.
AS brocade is again coming into fash
ion, she could employ this. 1t must be
carelessly placed, not with precision,
and more material put below than
above the waist. No trimming is neces-
sary--;us: the plain silk artistically
wrapped about the figure.

Good
form
Dinner Calls.

. OlNU0G S0uos
Those who have been invited to a
dinner party, whether an acceptance
or regret was sent, should call on the
hostess within a couple OF weeks.
Eight o'clock in the evening Is con-
sidered the proper time. The lady
and her escort send in a card apiece
for each lady in the house, while the
man adds one of his own for each man
in the family.
On entering the lady does not re-
move her hat, but the man leaves his
hat, topcoat and cane in the hall. The
conversation should be impersonal, to
talk Of people is not in good taste,
subjects of general interest should be
discussed, and no reference should be
made by the callers as to this being a
dinner CALL" rather leaving it to be
implied that the hostess has made her
self so charming and gracious that
her personality prompts the courtesy.
Those who call in such formal fash
ion have an opportunity to make them
selves either very agreeable or the re-
verse, and as agreeable people are al
ways in request it will be the very
best form and the proper thing" to
keep the conversation to a point that
when it is time to leave those receiv-
ing will be quite truthful in express
ing the wish, II hope you will soon
come again." a thing that is often said
without being meant.
In the course of the call it is a pleas
ant way to say something nice about
having enjoyed the delightful dinner
so recently. A caller may say: "We
were so delighted to meet Miss B. at
your dinner lately. 1t gave the. OPP
portunity to renew an old time ac-
quaintance," or something Of the sort,
so giving the hostess to understand
that her hospitality was thoroughly
appreciated.
