School Children to Form

School children in all public and pri-

in America are being marshaled into

Association and the American Society

in the United States is to receive an

cation Association asking him to as
sumo the leadership and perfect the
organization in his county.

to compete for the cash prizes, aSgre-

ing offered for thrift essays but the
winner in each county will be given a
special medal and it is urged, will be
invited to appear on the program of
the county institute and read his prize

THRIFT AND TASTE IN
PURCHASING NEW CLOTHES

Thrift and taste should go hand in
clothes is upperpost." says a woman
who is known among her friends as
thrifty buyer. Garments that please
the purse can be considered as well as
those that please the figure. Womans
clothing is one of the really big economic
questions of the country at the present
time. The following are few rules which
think should be observed when pur-
chases are to be made:
MANY of the newest fashions are for
only few women; beware of the ex-
tremes.
THE small hat. shaped like a box, can
make a round face resemble a full moon.
Wear the garment which looks best on
you: to cloth yourself in the prevailing
mode does not always mean the best APP
pearance.
purple looks exceedingly well on the
pale blond.
pink is a favorite color of the young
girl
1.-The hat that casts shadows is always
in good taste: the brimless affair should
be worn by few women.
1.-The woman who has small eyes should
never wear headgear which has ten
dency to hide her eyes.
THE long and narrow face looks odd
in a fiat hat.
'Reos. yellows, olive and orange are
good colors for the brunette with a clear
skin.
Green is a very good color to go with
a fresh complexion.
White, gray and black can be worn
by all women.

never wear hat with an uplfted front.

that nobody loves a fat man and that
the too fat woman is hopelessly out of

folks brains, and most folks know
that the surest way to keep from get

many courses and to take but one

Wiped Finger on the Tablecloth.

Wiped Finger on the Tablecloth.
Napkins were an absolute necessity in
thing else on which continually to
wipe the fingers when eating. The
something else for many centuries be-
fore the advent of the napkin had been
the tablecioth itself, ard. in fact, the
tablecloth was not originally devised as
cover for the table so much as for
1t was made of generous proportions.
and the diner kept his portion spread
over his lap, where il would be OF
most service. One would like to believe
that tablecloths never did more than
one meals service. But laundries were
few and folks were not so fastldious
as they are today, in spite of their
starched rufus and satin doublets
To-day the greatest evil in napkin
dom is the temptation il offers the in
genious and inventive butler or waiter
into ornate designs. The houseman
trained in III" art of setting tables is
not content till he has mastered some
dozen intricate ways of folding the
dinner napkins which he insists on
having starched to a painful degree in
order to make the folding effective.
Fortunately, this custom is not so
well thought Of by careful hostesses as
il once was. Fan shape devices, cas-
kets. and horns of plenty made from
a napkin are not really regarded as
table. and except for the simple folding
that allows for the insertion of a din
ner roll fancy folding is getting to be
looked upon as decidedly unnecessary
