7 What do you think of women's ability
in business?'' the reporter girl asked.
! Il am what you might call a believer
\ in women said Mr.. Lisner with convic-
| ton. Il was the first merchaI in the
city to employ them as buyers and
have always believed i'm giving them q
chance. Why? Well. for one reason be-
cause they are appreciative and reliable
OF course, there are women who are
| not reliable and who are not good busi.
ness assets. but there are men who are
not worth employing either. My idea Is
to employ the woman who has 1t in her.
the woman who shows the right spirit
and then to give her chance. Yes, ]
have always been a believer in women.
And the Girl Reporter reflected that
when Mr. Lisner speaks Of women In
business he ought to know. for he has a
small army of them In his employ.
What OF women as shoppers?" she
asked.
Mr.. Lisner reflected for a moment.
They are good at that, too," he said
with a laugh. Yes. the Washington
woman is very discriminating shopper.
She is sharp when it comes to values.
There wouldn't be any use trying to
palm Off inferior values on women here,
for they know the difference"
When the Girl Reporter asked Mr.. Lis
ner what the prospects for prosperity
this year were he seemed optimistic.
"Of course. the war had for time an
effect on practically every line of busi-
ness. But / feel confident that the de-
preston is to be more than made up. In
fact, we already see signs of a great
boom In this city and as the Girl Re-
porter made her way through the crowd
of shoppers II seemed evident that the
boom had begun.

Tnnch of Gold.

A number of evening dresses are re
ceiving a touch Of gold. Gold braid, golt
buttons. gold embroidery or flowers made
of gold ribbon or braid are used to ado

tight-fitting bodices of gold brocade are
also brought into play.
One very attractive evening gown OF
cream silk net has a flounce Of gold lace
The same is used to form flowing sleeves
A gold cord encircIes the waist and Is
slipped through slots embroidered in gold
thread. The dress is extremely short
and really calls for pair of gold silh
stockings and slippers to match.
On afternoon gowns the gold note II

NUT WISDOM.

1t is time to look upon nuts seri-
ously again. We all know that they
are a valuable part of our winter
diet. but many of US fail to make as
wide use of them as we might make,
to advantage.
Nuts are a valuable part Of the diet
because they contain much nourish-
ment. Eaten as many persons eat
them they are not desirable: for many
persons eat them after an overhearty
meal when the system is in no condi-
tion to digest anything more. More
over, nuts should be thoroughly
chewed. and many persons do not
masticate them thoroughly.
So remember when serving nuts. to
make them a necessary part of the
meal. Make them take the place OF
trated food, don't use them simply as
an adjunct to an over-hearty meal.
And caution children to chew them
thoroughly. This is a habit easily
formed and of great importance.
There are three general classes of
nuts. The first contains nuts with a
big percentage of nitrogen, nuts that
build body tissue. In this group are
English walnuts. filberts. hickory nuts.
peanuts. pecans, almonds. hazelnuts
and pistachios. The next group of nuts
CONTAINS tHe Oily NUS, tno hOtS tid'
give much heat, and includes Brazil
nuts. butternuts. cocoanuts and black
walnuts. The chestnut Is the only
common nut in the third class, con-
tanning starchy nuts
The chestnut, being starchy. should
be used in place of rice. potatoes or
bread.
The oily nuts should always be
thoroughly masticated and sparingly
eaten unless they form part Of some
made dish. Any of these nuts made
into puddings or other desserts, with
milk. flour, sugar. eggs or rice are
digestible and nutritious.
Nut bread is always highly nutri-
tious. and a sandwich of nut bread and
butter, with a glass of milk and some
preserved fruit forms a very good
luncheon.

WHEN MEAT RUNS SHORT.

What would American housewife:
and American cooks do if the mea
supply were curtailcd:
In England meat is scarce on ac
count OF the war, and perhaps no con
dition brought on by the war caused
so much immediate inconvenience a
did this. In France, on the othci
hand. although the shortage in meal
and the necessary economy in meat
dishes imposed on all housewive:
called for careful planning it did moi
cause the commotion-one could
hardly call it distress-that it did in
England.
In England the lower classes--that
in the classes whose low wages ne
eessitates elimination OF anything
more than the necessities OF life and
a very few of its luxuries-have
never learned the economy OF low
meat bill. They have never learned
aow to cook vegetables as the French
,ayc OF as Americans are learning to.
I. is inconceivable to the average
middle class English housewife that
here should be any real nourishment
n vegetables at all. You might argue
all dav and she would not change her
oelief that meat is positively neces-
sarv to the producing of muscle and
muscular strength. The argument
that half the world lives on rice and
works as hard as the British would
fall on deaf ears.
If you have ever partaken OF vege-
tables as they are prepared by the
Usual run OF English cook or house
wife YOU do not wonder that the
English cling to meat dict so long
as it is possible The one and only
Nav that an English woman knows
of treating vegetables is to boil them
N salted water and to serve them in
A soggy, tasteleSs condition in which
hey leave the boiling water.
Ii has been said that not the least
of the reasons why the French house
wife knows the art of cooking vege-
:ablcS, and can plan dinner sans
neat as well as with it, is because of
their observance OF a weekly, and
sometimes biweekly, fast day. The
same holds good OF other countries
where vegetables are well cooked,
Italy and Spain. While in Protestant
England the Friday fast day has been
30 little observed for centuries that
English folk as a class cannot think
oi meal without meat.
Now. OF course, willy-nilly, they
nave to cut down the meat bill. They
will learn in time how TO do this, but
much better would it have been it
English housewives had learned some
time ago the lessons that our house
wives are learning now in the value
oi well cooked vegetables in the daily
bill of fare

Modernizinu the Roundup.

Each year seems to give the auto
mobile a new hold on life. The war
brought it to the forefront in new
field. The soldier of the present day
seldom makes long forced marches
like Sherman's march to the sea. He
travels by motor car. AS result, the
automobile casualty list is tremen-
dous; the average life of car in the
battle-line is estimated at thirty days.
But it is not only the war zone that
has lost part of it's pictures ueness
through the use of the automobile,
The latter has begun to rob the an
nual cattle roundup of some of its
thrills by replacing the horse. This
year has seen the ubiquitous car with
a cowboy at it's wheel on our western
prairies, discouraging the cattle from
attempts to escape from the ever-nar-
rowing circle in the roundup. Many a
steer which has given a COW horse a
run must feel disconnected when it
bucks up against the four-wheeled
steed.-Wall Street Journal.

RID OF UGLY PIMPLES

Battle your face for several minutes
with resinol soap and hot water, then
apply little resinol ointment very
gently. Let this stay on ten minutes,
and wash off with resinol soap and
more hot water, finishing with a dash
of cold water to close the pores. Do
this once or twice day, and you will
be astonished to find how quickly the
healing resinol medication soothes
and cleanses the pores, removes PIN

London.-By a savage attack in the
west the Germans have wrested from

was one of the severest Of the war.
The cemetery was taken after a gas

The French admit the loss and are
fighting to regain the ground, which
they had won at a heavy cost.
Slowly the French had been tight

Souchez, until the Germans aware that
the capture of the entire position
would be an important step in the
French offensive toward Lens and
Lille, launched terrific counter

shattered burial ground, with more
than $50 prisoners in their hands.
