What the Woman Who Is Well Dressed
Will Not Do.
The woman who Is really well dress
ed does not wear a smart frock and a
becoming hat and then ruin her whole
appearance by clothing her feet In
pair Of shOddy shoes, run down at the
heel and perhaps unpublished. And yet
many women who are fastidious as TO
their appearance, who would not think
Of going out Of the house without their
suits being well pressed, their blouses
being fresh and dainty, their wells ad-
justed In just the right way, win for
get entirely TO look at the condition OF
their shoes. Perhaps these viii be
worn and dusty and win be made stiIl
ugiier by being worn with a pair Of
soiled and erumpled spats.
There is nothing prettier than wen
shod feet, nothing ugller than a pair
Of neglected. rundown, soiled shoes.
And now that abbreviated skirts are
fashionable the girl who wants to be
well dressed viii take great pains in
selecting her shoes, and once she has
purchased an appropriate and pretty
pair she viii take still greater pains
to keep them In good condition.
Never take on a pair Of shoes with
out putting a pair Of trees in them I'm

their shape and also win help to pro-

coming run down send them to the

Now as to some Of the novelties to
be seen this spring. In the first place
the light top boot, which has made
such a favorable impression this win
ter, remains in vogue for spring, all
the smartest shoes having either light
tan or light gray uppers. Gun metal
leather and dark gray tops are also
considered smart, while a tan shoe
with a tan upper Is very chic.

Not long ago there was published a
coffee making recipe which said, Fol
low directions for making which &C
company each style Of coffeepot"
This Is good advice and necessary for
all but boiled coffee. and people regard
full OF health do not make boiled coffee
The aroma, the favor, the cheer Of
coffee are very dear to thousands Of
people at the breakfast hour. From
the true safety first standpoint, which
means at the railroad crossing that you
may cross nine times without injury,
but the tenth you lose your life, per
haps no one should drink coffee. The
strength OF the habit OF coffee drinking
Is an argument against It. No human
being who prizes his self control viii
allow any habit to dominate him, and
bad food habits often have as fatal re-
suits as real vices. But millions drink
coffee all their lives, some Of which
are long.
1t Is easy now to get the circular
coffee roasters, but not so easy as for
meriy to get the finest green coffee to
roast In them and grind while hot
There is great economy Of aroma and

IL Meat a Fighting pist7

Circumstances have brought to light
again the question Of mans need Of
red meat diet to make him a fighting
warrior. An advocate Of meat diet
declared some time ago that the Bel
gians were losing their vital efficiency
because they are a race of non-meat
eaters. But. although they had done
no fighting for a hundred years, they
have given a good account OF them
selves Of late.
Modern scientists assert that meat
makes a dog or a man irritable, but
gives neither courage nor endurance,
both Of which are essential fighting
qualities. Attention Is called to the
fruit eating gorilla as the most dread
ed fighter OF the African forest. Not
Hon Is found In all the region where
this great forest man relgns, untamed
and untamable. a real king Of beasts.
The lion. the traditional king OF
beasts, fights when brought to bay
only because he Is short winded and
cannot run away. Every experienced
hunter has borne testimony to the
ability Of the grass eating bison as a
most courageous fighter with few
equals.

To an interviewer State Senator
Kathryn Clarke Of Oregon said. 81 was

not the case. / am just an ordinary

why shouldn't take this opportunity
and break the ice for women to enter
the senate even though / would per
haps not be able to do more than this.
After accepting the appointment the
senators, having the privilege OF seat
ing me or otherwise, chose otherwise.
so it was necessary to hold a special
election, and with three candidates In
the field 1 was elected by a good ma
5ority. As this election took place on
Jan. % and the legislature convened

Just two weeks, late. This fact made

that women are not the only takers,

When You Go Visiting.


When on a visit to friends It is e.
sential that you make yourself very
agreeable and fall IN with the ways Of
the house, so that you give no extra
trouble to hostess or servants.
Visitors shake hands with the host
and hostess morning and night and can
do so with any other guests that may
be staying at the house.
Always leave your bedroom as tidy
as possible and so save the housemaid
unnecessary work. Letters can be
written in the bedroom, and II the
hostess rests after lunch then visitors
may retire TO their own room OF 90
for walk, as they may prefer.
On the conclusion Of a visit Il is
usual to ~tip" the servant who has
shown you any special attention. A
lady would "tip" the housemaid a sum
from 81 to IS. according TO length Of
stay and attention given. A gentleman
''tips" the manservant who Wallets him,
the butler and also the coachman II he
drives him from and to the station.
Fees are never given by guests to
servants after any entertainment, not
even after a private dinner given at a
restaurant or hotel.
