About Spinach.

In the early spring days. when the
weather turns suddenly very mild o.
warm, the appetite Graves something
cold. crisp and green This Is perfectly
natural, for In the first green vegeta-
bles, although the nutritive value is
small. there Is a tonic quality that is
invigorating and healthfuL
OF all the greens, spinach Is the most
wholesome. A famous physician has
declared that 1T is the broom OF the
stomach" Spinach should be eaten at
least twice a week during the spring
season. Its value, however, can only
be obtained by proper cooking. Use a
very small quantity OF water. Just
enough to keep it from burning. and
cook In an uncovered kettle for fifteen
or twenty minutes Be sure that the
water is actually boiling before placing
the green's In it. as that Is most impor-
tant not only with spinach, but with
all other spring greens. such as dande-
lions. mustard. etc

French prnaainn.

When you make French dressing
how do you do It? Do you pour first
the oil and then the vinegar over the
salad and then sprinkle on the season
ings7
Or do you pour a little OIL In a big
spoon and then pour In enough vinegar
to overflow IT and repeat this process,
beating the oil and vinegar with a
fork until the salad Is dressed?
You do neither OF these things II you
are really up to date IN your salad
making. Instead you use one Of the
little French dressing sets. II consists
OF a tray containing cut glass jug for
vinegar and one for oil and three shak-
ers-one for salt. one for pepper and
one for cayenne pepper OF paprika.
Then there Is a little silver dish about
i've inches In diameter. In which the
dressing is thoroughly and convenient
" mixed before It Is poured on the
salad

The Fine Art Of Hospitality.

No hostess should invite friends 20
stayat her home unless she thoroughly
understands how 10 make them CON-
Portable. The art Of hospitality may
be acquired, however. even when the
natural aptitude Is wanting.
The perfect hostess does not over
entertain her guests. She makes It her
duty TO Study the preferences Of those
whom she has invited She does not
ask them to drive. walk or play ten
mis- when they prefer, perhaps. TO read.
write or do other things. Nor does
she ask them to arise at unusual hours
At English country homes the Gus
tom Of visiting Is systematic. Guests
are asked for a certain number Of
days and they are expected to leave
on the last morning. A guest arriving
after the luncheon hour seldom sees

Well Liked but Trying Color, Which

There is always a revival OF gray

As a matter OF fact, gray is a very
difficult color to wear unless you have
a very pink and white skin. II you

Etiqustts of Games

The subject Of games-that Is. games
that are played for the purpose OF en-
pertaining invited guests or even as
means of relaxation IN the home-is
one that may readily come under the
control of those flaws of social usage"
defined In the one word, etiquette"
One Of the most important rules to
be followed in any game is really one
of the first rules in etiquette, that
courtesy TO partners as well as op-
ponents is called for under any and
an circumstances. Whether a player
loses or wins, the same graciousness Of
demeanor that distinguishes the well
bred person Is maintained; to have the
temper under such perfect control that
no wordy arguments are likely to take
place Is TO show that politeneSs Is In
grained, that both birth and breeding
have combined to teach the value Of
self restraint
In the heat Of a game, unless this
habit is really part Of the personality
Of the players, argument Is very likely
10 assume a decided turn toward
abuse. Right there is where the really
courteous man or woman shows the
value OF good breeding. Even If the
fault Is glaring In his partners play
the man who Is a gentleman In every
sense Of the word will passlt over with
a pleasant manner, whether 1t is felt
within him or not To show violent
temper at a failure Of ones own or
Of ones partner is to appear excessive
" disagreeable, and perhaps it is still
worse 10 show great triumph over q
victory over an opponent
The latter is In the worst possible
taste; 1t evinces a mean disposition out
right and therefore outrages all the
tenets Of etiquette. Because. no matter
how pleased such a happening makes
q player, it is always better TO put the
face on 1t Of having had to do little
more than the possible to overcome
such an opponent In any game, no
matter what. it is poor policy to claim
an easy victory; better far. II a player
wishes to enhance his own success
and also claim the praise. even I'M
willingly given. perhaps Of those op-
posing. is to declare that only by siren
uous and the very best work could the
victory be won.
Like everything that is called PRO
per" this has its deeper meaning; no
one Is Inundated in the least and TO
that end etiquette teaches the adyan-
tages Of true politeness and eonsidera-
ton.

American Flag Now Floats
Over Hundreds of Ships

Washington, Sept. D. The
American flag nov floats over
more ships iu the foreign trade
than at any other time since
1864, and the United States rs
pressing close on France and
Norway as a maritime nation.
Figures made public today
10y the Department Of Commerce
show a.record increase in Amer
lean shipping for the year, end
ed June 30. On that date there
We're registered in the foreinn
trade , ,7Gs ships, totaling ,Sl3,
775 gross tons, an increase of
1858 ships and 737,623 tons for
the year
Practically all the increases
are due to the new registry law.
Assistant Secretary Sweet. of
the Department. of Commerce.
said IN Il statement today:
This is about triple the in
crease in registered tonnage for
any previous year in American
history our registered ton
mage is now much greater than
at any time since 1868, when
we had , ,026,1l4 gross tons in
foreign trade. 1t is many times
more efficient, however, as the
steam tonnage now amounts to
LIB, O67 gross tons, while in
1863 it amounted to only l3s,
2l5 tons.
"The increase from the ship
registry act of August Is, 1914,
to June l3, 1915, was so rapid
that tonnage under the Amer
lean flag now emplowed in for.
elgn trade is nearly equal to
such tonnage under the French
or Norwegian flags. British ton
mage, of course, is more than
ten-fo!d greater"
