In little Old New York.

II a certain actor had accompanied
q party Of round-the-towners the 9th
err night he would have been either
thrilled or embarrassed, says New
York Sun. After the theater the par
ty went to the Waldorf roof and saw
one Of the actors former wives the
center of a gay, laughing party. The
next stop was at the .Astor roof where
there was another former wife of the
same actor dining with a handsome
young gallant who danced divinely
and at the last stop on the Majestic
roof was the third former wife giving
q dinner to several women and two
French army officers. 1t was hard to
tell which was the most beautiful.
They all seemed happy. 1t IL remind
full of another actor who went to an
other theater than his own to e a
play. He was seated next TO a former
wife and her husband They all chat
ted pleasantly together and later
supped together. A strange town
this New York.

TAKES PLACE OF cows MILK
Substitute Derived From Pressed Al
monds Has Been Found 70 Give
Fair Degree OF satisfaction.

Substitutes for cows milk seem to
be obtainable from various vegetable
sources. Drs. II. D. Chaplin and Lud-
wig Kast Of New York reported their
experience with almond milk. which
is prepared by first grinding the
almonds fine. covering with water and
placing In the icebox overnight and
then pressing out with n fruit press or
by hand through four layers Of rauze.
The water may be twice the wright Of
the nuts. the ~pressed-out liquid being
further diluted. The almond milk fer
ments much less easily than cows
milk, is richer in easily diyestihle int
and in phosphorus and Its small
amount of carbohydrate makes 1t less
likely to cause sugar fermentation. II
has been tried in more than one thou
sand adults. Though some dislike 1t,
no actual disturbances have been
caused by it. and it has served well
for temporary use In such conditions
rs nephritis. typhoid. intestinal putre-
faction, malnutrition and secondary
ancmia. Milk is similarly prepared
from the soy bean. already an impor-
tant source of oil for margarine and
soaps. This milk. which may he freed
from its strong bean odor by heating
TO boiling point. contains 3.13 per cent
of casein and 30 ounces of fhe beans
are said to yield 10 ounces of cheese.

RIGID RULES OF PoLlTENEss
Continental Countries Carry Forms Of
saIutation and courtesy 70 What
We Consider Extremes.

In all continental countries men lift
their hats when saluting n another.
It Is also customary for them to nm
cover their heads on entering any kind
Of private premises, including Offices.
and In some parts even banks.
It was, until recently. considered X
tremely rude for n man In Poland to
enter v a shop without removing
his hat, and 1t was not unusual for q
customer who omitted this formality
to be told that he would be attended
to when compliance with the demands
of politeness should entitle him to the
shopkeeper's consideration. 1t was
only n few years before the war that
this practice came gradually to be
abandoned. The reform was largely
due TO the action of the o import
ant t~radespeople In the principal
towns, who exhibited notices in their
shops saying. Gentlemen are request
ed not to remove their hats"
In Poland and Russia visitors are
expected to leave IN the hall not only
their goloshes, but hat, coat, and stick
as well, no matter how short their stay.
Clients calling on professional men are
expected TO do the anne.

was very much tempted to sleep
through the night. I knew, however,
that that would be bad precedent to
establish and wouldn't give In.
/ plugged wearily along and about
II o'clock. after 1 had covered perhaps
four miles, I sat down to rest for n
moment on shock of brush which
was sheltered from the drizzle some
what by other shocks which were
stacked there. It was daylight when
I awoke, and found myself right in
German backyard. You can imagine
that I lost no time in getting out of
that neighborhood and I made up my
mind right there and then that would
never give away to that ''tired feeling"
again.
In the daytime, In my hiding place,
wherever 1t happened to be, had
plenty Of opportunity to study my map,
and before very long 1 knew 1t almost
by heart. Unfortunately, however, 1t
did not show all the rivers and canals
which l encountered, and sometimes II
fooled me completely.
1t must have been about the ninth
night that crossed into Luxembourg,
but though this principally is officially
neutral, 1t offered me no safer haven
than Belgium would. The Huns have
violated the neutrality Of both. and dis
covery would have been followed by
the same consequences as capture in
Germany proper.
In the nine days I had covered per
haps seventy-five miles, and was that
much nearer liberty, but the lack Of
proper food. the constant wearing Of
wet clothes. and the loss of sleep and
rest had reduced me to a very much
weakened condition. I doubted very
much whether would be able to con.
tinue, but I plugged along.
