Don't Let the

Dollar Go Out

IT'S as plain as pikestaff that the dollar
you take out of town seldom comes
back. If you spend your dollar in town
it stays here. 1t circulates in the commu-
nifty. 1t is living thing. The dollar goes
to the butcher, the baker. 1t goes to the
printer. The local merchant with whom
You spend it pays it out in wages 1t makes
for the individual well being. 1t makes for
the community well being.
Therefore circulate your Christmas dol.

might be we'll to emphasize the fact that Won

With that fact confronting YOU, WHY

lars with the home merchants? The local
merchants are progressive and part of the
community in which you live and in which
You are vitality interested. They'll give YOU

Besides. they'll circulate that dollar of

Nurseries.

In the scheme of living where ap-
pearances must be maintained at all
costs, where the keeping of servants is
regarded as an absolute essential,
where the whole aim is to impress
ones acquaintances, children are too
often regarded as needless luxuries.
Where they are permitted to intrude,
they come, as a usual thing, in single
numbers, one child being considered
enough of Il burden. In Europe the
women who have followed this theory
have in many cases seen their entire
family swept away and the sad condi-
ton has made the mothers of America
pause and reflect.
When one comes to think of 1t, how
very few houses are built with nurse
ries. Even large homes, rented at ex-
orbitant rates, seldom have a nursery.
One of the bedrooms has to be given
over to the kiddies, but it can never be
made to look quite as useful and pref
ty as If it had been designed for the
purpose. The ideal nursery ought to
be tiled all round halfway up the wall,
not cold green tiles, but a warm shade
OF tan or deep pink. The room ought
to have fitted cupboards in it, so that
not an inch of space is wasted. There
should be fitted guards in front of the
windows. so that there is no danger
Of the babies falling out, and the fire.

GERS. Uncle Peter has perfect hor-

Peaches and Alice and l snare 1t with
him." Then she turned to key. Don't
you think these modern dances are
perfectly disgusting?"
Poor key looked reproachfully at
the old lady second, then with gath
ering establishment he slid silently
or the chair and struck the floor with
q bump.
Aunt Martha was so ratified over
this unexpected effort on Mr..
Schwartz's part that she upset her
coffee and key got most of it in the
back OF the neck.
When peace was finally restored the
old lady came to the surface with an
envelope which had been lying on the
table near her plate.
"Is this your letter, John?" she
asked, and then arranging heI
glasses, read with great elaboration:
"Mr. 1. Schwartz, Tango Teacher

Into the next room came Alice and
Peaches and sat down for their usual
cackle.
Bunch and 1 started from our
reveries when we heard Alice say to
Peaches, you don't know what a
source of comfort it has been to me
to realize that Bunch doesn't know a
blessed thing about the tango or any
of those hatefully intimate new
dances"
THE same with me, Alice,' friend
wife chirped in. 81 believe If John
were to suddenly display ability to
dance the tango I'd be broken-hearted.
Naturally, I'd know that he must have
learned 1t with a wicked companion

frequented cabarets without my knowl-
edge-oh, Alice, what would I do?"
looked at Bunch, he looked at me
and then we both looked out the win

even question his motive when he tele-
phones me he has to take dinner in

'And I know enough of human ma
ture," Peaches gurgled, ito be sure
that If either one of them could tango
he would be crazy to show of at home.
think we're very lucky, both of us,
to have such steady-going husbands,
don't you, Alice?"
At this point Aunt Martha buzzed
into the other room and the cackle
took on another complexion.
In the meantime Bunch and 1 had
passed away.
IT'S cold turkey" 1 whispered.
I've been in the refrigerator for ten
minutes and I'm chilled to the bone,
Bunch whispered back.
Can we get our coin away from
Ikey?' asked.
The next morning we had key
Schwartz for luncheon with us at the
st. Astorbilt. The idea being to daz
zle him and get few of the iron men
back.

growled as we shaved our hats and
Indianfiled to a trough.
"A quart of Happysuds," Bunch or
dered. How about it, Ikey?"
key flashed grin and tried to swal-
low his palate, so it wouldn't interfere
with the wet spell suggested by Bunch.
key belonged to the dis, dose and

Every long sentence he uttered was
full of splintered grammar.
There was surely something wrong
with keys switchboard, because he
could wrap his system around more
Indian laughing Juice without getting
lit up than any other man in the
world
But key was the compliments OF
the season, all right, all right.
The luncheon had been ordered and
Bunch was Just about to switch the
conversation around to the subject of
rebates when suddenly his eyes took
on the appearance of saucers and, tap
ping me on the arm, he gasped,
Look"
looked and beheld Peaches, Alice
and Aunt Martha sailing over in our
direction.
With a whispered admonition to
Bunch to keep Ikey still I went for
ward to meet friend wife, her aunt and
Alice.
They were as much surprised as
was.
1T was such a delightful day that
Aunt Martha couldn't resist the temp
tation to do little shopping" Peaches
ratified on; "and then we decided to
come here for a bit of luncheon
hello, Bunch! I'm SO glad to see you!
John, hadn't we better take another
table SC that your friendly conference
may not be interrupted"

it wasn't conference at all. We had
met Mr.. Schwartz quite by accident
Then 1 introduced key to the ladies.
He got up and did something that
was supposed to be a bow, but you
couldn't tell whether he was tying his
shoe or coming down a ste2ladder.

~ HE idea originated with Bunch
j Jefferson. You can always count
on Bunch having few freak ideas in
the belfry where he keeps his butter
lies.
Bunch and his wife, Alice, live out
in Westchester county, about half a
mile from Uncle Peters bungalow,
where friend wife and are spending
the winter.
The fact that Uncle Peter and Aunt
Martha had decided to give us a party
was the inspiration for Bunch's bril-
liant idea.
Listen, john" he macchiavellied;
mot one of this push out here knows
thing about the tango. Most Of them
have a foolish idea that it's a wicked
institution invented by the devil who
sold his patent rights to the Evil-Do-
ers association. Now, I'll tell you
what we'll do, John: Well put them
wise. Well take about two lessons
from a good instructor in town and on
the night Of the party we'll make the
hit of our lives teaching them all to
tango. Are you James to the POSSIBLE
ities?"
1T listens like a good SPIEL"
agreed; but will a couple Of lessons
be enough for us?"
Sure" he came back; we're not
a couple of Patsys with the pump!
We can learn enough in two lessons to
make good in this boob community.
Why, well start tango craze cut
here that will put life and ginger in
the whole outfit and presently they'll
be putting up statues in our honor"
Well, to make long story lose its
cunning, we made arrangements next
day with key Schwartz, dancing in
structor, to explain the mysteries OF
this modern home-wrecking PROPOSE
ton known as the tango, and paid him
in advance the SUN of 800.
We made an appointment to meet
key at his studio for our first les
son the following afternoon. Then
we hiked for home on the Ala, well
| pleased with our investment and its
| promise of golden returns.
That night Bunch and Alice were
over to our place for dinner. After
dinner Bunch and 1 sat down by the
log fire in the Dutch room, filled ouI
faces with Havana panatellas and pro
ceeded to enjoy life in silence.

USES FOR OLD LINEN.
How Frenchwomen Use the Tops of
Old Evening Gloves.

How Frenchwomen Use the Tops of
Old Evening Gloves.
Never throw away old linen In any
shape or form. Cotton sheets and pill
lowcases when old and worn are soft
and splendid for bandages and other
sickroom needs. No new bandage
ever equals old bed or table linen for
Isuch purposes, as they will tell you at
any hospital, but it is understood it
must be sterilized before being used.
Housekeepers are apt to overlook
this use for old linen unless there is
really sickness present in the house,
EbUt a store of such pieces laid away
Twill never come amisS even If they are
only used for ironing boards and for
wrapping up bundles in the storeroom,
for in a ennta Ginus- disease old sheets
must be hung over the doorways to the
sickroom and kept wet with disinfect-
ant. When the weather is hot wet
sheets hung about the room will cool
the air.
The linen should have been washed
clean without starch, and the hands
that roll it should be very clean. For
an open wound sterilized gauze will be
a necessity, but clean linen may be
used to protect the bandages under
meath. At the hospitals the old linen
so utilized is baked in the regular oven
to sterilize it before using.
When the bandages are rolled they
should be placed in a clean covered
receptacle until needed. A glass jar
or covered box will do for the pur-
pose. The width of the bandages de-
ponds upon their use. About one inch
is wide enough for a finger, and from
that the widths vary. For an abdomI
inal bandage six or eight inches may
not be too wide.
The tops of old evening gloves have
their use too. An appeal recently came
from Paris for them, to be sewed to-
gether as interlinings in vests for SOL
diers in winter trenches. Hundreds of
poor women are kept employed making
these winter comforts.

Insects, sense of Small.

How do insects smell? Naturalists
are agreed that they are keenly sensi-
tive to certain odors. but they differ
widely as 10 the organs with which
they do 1t. The usual opinion has
been that their antennae serve them
as do our noses But DIR. N. e. McIn-
doc Of the Washington bureau Of en-
tomology points out that those which
have no antennae smell equally as well
as those which have. He suggests
that certain pores at the bases of the
wings and legs are their organs of
smell, for when these are covered with
glue or vaseline they react to perfumes
