No one thing is more important this
and takes such skilled labor that 1t is
not always profitable to procure it.
Not Able to Change Models.
This is the reason that so many
women complain of the fact that ar
tistic changes can never be made in
gown or suit that has the fundamentals
they wish. The great houses. naturally,
will undertake any changes; they often
delight in them, for it gives them a
chance to say that they improve upon
the Paris creation, but they ask such
steep prices for work that one expects
them to pay out wages that call for
skilled labor and designing talent in
the workrooms.
All American women have been taught
by the unskilled labor and high price
combined, for it has become a favorite
trick of those who We're merely work
men under others to open shops OF their
own and declare themselves able to
turn out garments equal to the houses
from which they came, SO they demand
a high price, thinking that this bluff
will bring trade. The result is nearly
always lamentable. failure follows fall

A box containing a few crackers is
never amiss by the bedside. Many
times wakefulness can be conquered
with a slowly munched biscuit.

A hot water bag filled on cold night
when the guest retires also gives great
comfort. There should always be cool
drinking water at hand, too. Writing
materials should be offered either in the
bedroom or in the library or living
room. A screen to shield the bed from
draughts is another thoughtful addi-
ton to the guestroom equipment.

Some sort of bedside light is a great
convenience, so that the tired guest
may go early to bed and read there, or
the wakeful one may have light in the
night.

Will Shaw1s Come Back?

Will we wear shawls again is the
question that comes uppermost in our
minds when a number of these cape
collars pass in review. Bustles are al
ready accepted, although they are not
made of a hard substance and worn as
a SEPARATE attachment, but are formed
by the drapery of the skirt in the back
Pantalettes are no longer scorned

A cushion or two on the foot of the

that can be slipped under a hollow in a
tired back or under an aching head
should be in every guestroom.

GUEsTROOM COMFORT.

A few dollars spent now and again in
making our guestrooms comforta BILE
is not spent amiss. Everybody knows
how uncomfortable one can be in a badly
furnished bedroom. And everybody
knows how difficult it would be to com
plain to ones hostess that there Were
not bed clothes enough, that there was
not soap, that the springs creaked. that
the windows ratified, or that anything
else about the room one sleeps in as a
guest was uncomfortable. 1t is up to
the hostess herself to know that her
guestrooms comfortable.
At the country house of fashiopah BILE
hostess the guests were asked, after a
weekend party, to write criticisms of
their rooms. The reading of the criti-
cisms brought much entertainment to
everybody concerned and suggested
custom that might bring advantages to
guests, if not to hostesses. But SO long
as this custom is not in force, look to
the comfort of the rooms you ask your
guests to sleep in. The best way to do
this is to sleep in each room-and then
you will know whether or not 1T is
really comfortable, and, If 1t is not,
what to do to make it so.
See to it that your beds are well sup
piled with covers. In each room have
an extra supply of blankets, in a box
at the foot of the bed or on closet
shelf.

KEEP URIC ACID
OUT OF JOINTS
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to
Eat Less Meat and Take
Salts.

Rheumatism is easier to avoid
, than to cure, states a we'll known
authority. We are advised to dress
warmly; keep the feet dry; avoid
J exposure; eat less meat, but drink
plenty of good water.
Rheumatism is direct result of
eating too much meat and other
rich foods that produce uric acid
which is absorbed into the blood.
II is the function of the kidneys
TO filter this acid from the blood
and cast it out in the urine; the
pores of the skin are also a means
{ of freeing the blood of this I'M
purity. In damp and chilly cold
weather the skin pores are closed,
i'us forcing the kidneys to do dou-
bic work, they become weak and
sluggish and fail to eliminate the
iric acid, which keeps accommodating
and circulating through the sys-

PROHIBITION IN D. c.
FAVORED BY CITIZENS
Petworth Association Goes on
Record by Adopting
Resolution.

After long debate, during which
decisions of the chairman were over
ruled on several occasions, the Pet
worth Citizens Association, at meet
ing last night in the First United Pres
byterian Church, went on record in
favor of prohibition in the District of
Columbia. The association adopted a
resolution introduced by Jesse c. Suter
providing that the House and Senate
be petitioned to enact a law prohibit
ing traffic in liquor in the District: that
the District Commissioners be asked
to recommend 10 Congress the passage
of s;,ch q law and that the delegate
of The PetwOrth Citizens Association
to the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions be instructed to vote in favor of
prohibition when the matter is brought
before that body.
The debate started when Mr.. Suter
introduced a resolution in favor of pro-
hibition in the District as Il substitute
for one commencing Senator Sheppard
for his efforts in behalf of prohibition
here. The original resolution was in
troduced at a meeting of the assocla-
tion a month ago, when it was decided
the matter should not be voted on until
the February meeting.
Right of Resolution Questioned.
Paul L. Lesh questioned the right OF
Mr. Suit er to bring IN q substitute reso-
luton favoriug prohibition when the
cards giving notice of the meeting
stated that u resolution commencing
Senator Sheppard for attempting to
bring about prohibition in the District
by means of rider legislation was TO
be considered. Mr.. Lesh said he favor
ed prohibition. but was opposed TO rldef
legislation.
Mr. I.esh's objection. but was overruled
by vote of the association. Then FOL
lowed a discussion of Mr. Suffers sup-
stitute resolution, which lasted about an
hour during which reasons why the DIS
trict should be dry were advanced by
several members.
Only one member had spoken in op-
position to the passage OF the resolution
when President James announced that the
hour Of O'Clock had arrived, and oe-
clared the meeting adjourned He said
the association voted several months ago
to suspend all business at o'clock, in
order to devote the remainder of the
evening to the entertainment program
Dispute Over Suspension Hour.
\ score more OF members instantly
produced their watches, and then there
ensued discussion as to just whose
watch was correct. The majority of the
watches shown indicated that the hour
of o'clock had not arrived yet. and
President James accordingly directed that
the meeting proceed. When the matter
eventually was brought to a vote those
in favor of prohibition we're in the
ma jority:
Announcement was made that the Dis
trict Commissioners are to be invited to
the next meeting of the association.
The entertainment feature Of last nights
meeting was an illustrated lecture on
Sanitation and Sewerage in the District
