Attention to Pre.crlntIon..

The present influenza epidemic has
impressed on many people the impOr-
lance Of a prescription. We fill pre-
scriptions Just as the doctor orders.
The drugs used viii be pure, too; not
the kind that might debut the kind
that will do; not the kind that will
injure the system-but the kind that
viii build up the system. Adulterated
drugs never find q place in our three
stores You get the good kind here
and no other. Stop IN at one OF our
three stores and leave that prescrip-
ton to be filled.

Miss Hammersley,

Telephone Miss Hammersley,
Claire, and please tell her that she
must come down Immediately for a
fitting if her frock's to be finished
tomorrow" said Madame, as she
passed through the studio on her way
to- Miss Westley's workroom.
Miss Hammersley let no grass grow
under her feet. and was in the fit
ting room waiting for Madame when
she appeared with Miss Wesley and
the frock.
IF you want to see something real
ly out of the usual in an all-white
frock look at this and Madame held
the dress up before Miss Hammersley
who began to rave about the tunic
and the old-fashioned ruffle- trimmed
skirt.
I was surprised to find that the
frock consisted of a separate bodice
and a jumper-like frock, made with
a tunic.
Miss Hammersley, is petite, but not
what one might call thin, and a mod
ell of this type is exceedingly becom-
ing to her.
Madame had combined white satin
and crepe Georgette in designing the
frock. The underbodice of the trans
parent material had full bishop sleeves
with a deep cuff formed of three
ruffles of the crepe with picot edges
Above this series of ruffles was a
band of white ribbon with picot edges
which was drawn about the arm and
tied in a tiny bow.
f11nio Of ,1,oe,
ed over the bodice, the edges of which
were hound with a narrow fold of the
material. This garment was slashed
at the sides from the shoulders to
| the lower edge. The fitness was con-
fined about the waistline with a cir
| Gle formed of two rows of ribbon
tied in bows at the centre front.
| Miss Hammersley is partial to col
| lars of the Pierrot type, so Madame
had Miss Wesley add a frill of Geor-
gette about the neck of the tunic.
| The skirt is also of the crepe. 1t is
gathered about the top and falls in
| graceful folds to the ankles. Three
ruffles of the same material, finished
with picot edges, trim the bottom OF
| the skirt.
| A petticoat of white washable satin
also trimmed with ruffles, completes
the frock.
One of the most charming features
of this all-white frock is the fact that
it is impossible to tell where it fast
ems. The underbodice and skirt are
opened down the side front 50 thai
it is an easy matter to adjust the
frock. The satin tunic fastens or
the shoulders, giving the impression
that it slips on over the head.
'fNow," said Madame to Miss West

ETIQUETTE

All unpleasant topics should ibe
avoided in table conversation; even
that of criticising the food Such mat
ters should be postponed and taken
up with the cook after the meal is
over.
Bride to Be-F'or your little home
wedding you can arrange an arch of
greenry in a convenient corner of a
large room, and near the door to an
other room which can be left closed.
From this closed room the clergyman
enters, followed by the bridegroom
and his best man. The clergyman
stands in the centre of the arch, fac
ing the guests The bridegroom and
his attendant stand at his left, facing
toward the aisle, so that they can
watch the brides approach. At the
same time, from the farthest corner
of the room, the bridesmaid enters,
followed by the bride, either alone or
on her fathers arm. As she nears
the arch, the bridegroom steps for
ward; she takes his left arm, and
they stand facing the clergyman dur
! ing the ceremony. The best man
stands at the groom's right and the
maid at the left of the bride. At the
close of the ceremony, the party face
about and wait the congratulations
and good wishes of the guests.

MILITARY DON'TS
AND WHY'S FOR
WOMEN

Don't cut or scrape beets before
cooking. The juice will run out.
Don't stop hunting till you find your
job.
Don't weary of thrift. The side
whose grit and supplies hold out the
longer will win. Watch your table,
your kitchen, your market. The food
you waste would strengthen one of
our soldiers in the trenches.
Don't cavil at our allies. Their in
terests are ours and ours are theirs.
1t is a case of all for one and one for
all. For three years they have pour
ed out their precious lives and treas
ures and endured untold privations
and losses. We have been enabled to
organize our army and our fleet in the
shelter of their living, dying rampant.
They have taken a tremendous toll
from our enemy. We should be pa
tient with their impotence at our de-
lays, and we should begrudge them no
assistance - financial, physical, or
spiritual. We should show them that
we, too, can save and spend and fight.
Don't fail to reverse the peace-time
rule. Remember that in war every
body is suspicious until he is proved
innocent, especially in couAtry OF
such mixed population and such va
riety of tradition as the United States.
Don't forget that Germany has
made use of spies to an extent far be-
yond the dreams of any other nation,
in peace or war. This country con-
tanned thousands of secret agents OF
Germany long before the war began.
Don't make it difficult for your
men folk to do their duty. There are
times when tears are reasonable.
Don't relax your vigilance. Keep
vigilant first concerning your own ut
terances; next, the words and actions
of your neighbors and the|people you
encounter wherever you go.

OCTAVE THANET

About forty years ago Lipponcott's
Magazine published a story entitled
"A Communists Wife," by previous
" unknown writer named Octave
Thanet. Only the magazine editor
knew that this was the pen name of
a young woman whose real name was
Alice French. From the day she re-
ceived a check for SAP for this effort,
Miss French determined to devote
herself to literature, and Octave
Thanet" is a name now we'll known
throughout the English speaking
world. Miss French was born in An
dover, Mass, sixty-eight years ago.
Her name scrubbed on a box-ear, she
chose OCTAVE" because it could be-
long to either sex. She was known as
a short story writer until 1905, when
she began her career as novelist
with 1.-THE Man of the Hour" 1.-The
Lions share" and other widely read
novels.

WOMAN'S IVORY
OUTSIDE The
HOME

Woman's work in food administers
ton extends beyond the home, for
she has a distinct police service to
perform. Prices and profits on neces-
sary food staples are controlled under
the license system of the food ad-
ministration, amplified by personal
pledges given by retail food dealers,
and backed by fair price schedules in
each community newspaper, says
James H. Collins, editor Weekly
Food Bulletin.
The housewife glances over the
fair price schedule for butter, say.
and that same day finds that the
price asked by her grocer is several
cents higher. If she fails to under
stand her function as a volunteer in
spector of the food administration,
she may pay the price without pro-
test to her grocer, and later enter
complaint with the local food admin
istrator. If she understands, how
ever, that food control machinery has
been organized with a distinct func-
ton for her as an inspector she will
take the matter up directly with her
grocer, asking his reasons for charS-
ing a price which is excessive, in the
opinion of the food administrati-
In some cases the high price may
be justified by superior quality in
the product. Or she may trade at
store where she enjoys credit and
delivery service, which naturally in
voIve a price somewhat higher than
is charged in a cash-and-carry store.
If there is a lawful reason for price
difference, she is entitled to know
about it, and successful food control
depends upon her efforts as a volun-
teer inspector far more than upon any
system of professional inspection
that can be devised

MANY COMFORTS
TO USE IN The
BEDROOM

Since bedrooms have grown to be
sane affairs, there are all sorts of
little comforts which we add almost
without thinking. There is the easy
chair to be used for the chance bit
of sewing, or the last-minute finishing
of the book that won't wait. There
is the footstool or the foot pillow for
the slippered feet There is the bed
side stool or chair. which is usually
placed at the foot of the bed, and
which holds the morning clothing.
There is the slipper chair. which is
the ordinary straight armless chair,
rather low, and which is used to sit
on while putting on slippers and
shoes. There is the real sewing chair,
the rocker or comfortable chair
without arms, and the little drawer
filed sewing table. And there is the
night table.
Just what is the night table for?
1t usually holds a clock, sometimes a
telephone, and always a lamp. The
position of the night table is close to
the head of the bed; and one night
table can be used between two single
beds. In extravag giant cases one is
placed on each side of the double
bed. The table is stationed in line
with the face of the sleeper.
Modern luxury has made the night
table indispensable. To read in bed
may not be good for the eyes, but it
is a practice which has endeared
itself to the hearts of many The
night table, with its lamp, has made
this possible. To lie awake at night
is not pleasant, nor profitable. but to
have lamp at the elbow and to be
| able to flick on the light in a mo-
ment in order to see the time is a
solace. In times of illness, medi-
cines may be placed on the night
| table. And in times of health a
pitcher for ice water and a glass may
take their place The luxurious may
| delight in a clock which strikes when
a spring is touched, or in one with
| the luminous dial, both of which
make excellent night companions.

I followed Miss Wesley upstairs,
and before she started to work on
the frock tried it on to see whether
it was becoming to me. 1t had
quaintness and charm that was most
appealing, and was SO simple in con-
struction that I hoped mother would
be able to make me a frock some
thing like it. With the exception that
the skirt was too short, the frock
looked lovely on me. So I then and
there decided to have an all-white
tunic frock.

ley, taken as a whole. the frock is
extremely smart, but there are a few
alterations to be made. For instance,
the shoulder-line is too long. Let the
tunic come at least an inch within
the seam about the arm. This will
give that narrow, aight-up-and-
down effect, that Miss Hammersley's
frocks should have. Then, too, the
sleeves pouch too much, which makes
them clumsy looking. Cut the neck
line trifle lower, it comes too near
the base of the throat for beauty, and
would suggest finishing the top of

THE HONOR RATION

An undue proportion of food saw
ing falls upon the well-to-do thirty
per cent. of the American people, as
this part of the population has a
greater margin for economy, as well
as intelligence, and means to use sub
stitutes to the best advantage. The
idea of a special honor ration, to be
adopted by welI-to-do people in each
community, is being taken up all over
the country by women's clubs and
their organizations and people are
pledging themselves to the following
honor rationing for a person a week.
