Etiquette

At the celebration of a golden we'd
ding anniversary, it is quite proper for
a hostess to receive her guests sitting.
1t is a pretty custom to have her chair
decorated with yellow flowers and rib
ben.
Mark-Never pretend to have know
ledge you do not possess; you will be
sure to be found out. If in converse
ton you are asked question regard
ing subject of which you are ignor-
ant, do not be ashamed to say 81 do
ne know" Nobody is informed on all
r,atters; and it is only by admitting
your ignorance and asking questions
that you will obtain information. Do
not tell too many funny stories, nor
recite numerous incidents; and above
all, do not relate incidents of which
you are the hero Let someone else tell
the tales of your brave doings.
Maid-When clearing the table, sill
yer and cutlery should not be removed
from the dishes in which they have
been used, but should be carried away
as they lie. When a person at table
drops a knife, fork or spoon to the
floor, you should replace it with an
other one first; then the one that has
fallen should be picked up and car
ried away. If it cannot be reached
easily let it lie.

Polls show of inimitable feature
photoplay and vaudeville, is inestima-
BILE in it's entertainment qualities to-
day. Chief among the startling and
the sensational offerings is The Dut-
tons, d troupe of daring bareback
riders, in a new and novel presenta-
ton of delightful, and daring feats,
pleasantly performed.
Their acrobatic work while riding
one and two-high on careening horses
is the most superbly astounding feat
of equestrianic mastership accom-
plisched for many years. So elegantly
is the act costumed and scenicly sur
rounded that while normally of the
circus type it is lifted far above that
sphere. In vaudeville it will shine
as long as stages large enough to
produce it are found.

riscale, eight reels of pleasant loca-
ton, stirring action and thoughtful
plot, lightened here and there by
touches of humor, Is tracing thou

LYRIC

"Broken Threads is a well-knit
melodrama worthy of consideration
for the fact that it sets forth an in
teresting story always human and
therefore vital. Because of the story
it tells, this play deserves to find
audiences in New York 1t is good,
straight melodrama of the sort called
drama in the old days.
The story moves swiftly The min
ing prospector who drifts into San
Francisco and falls in love with a
cabaret singer is an essentially hui
man character. 1t is only natural,
100, that the girl, who finds her life,
or her mems of living, in an artificial
atmosphere should turn instinctively
to a man of simple, honest habits.
The drunken, jealous lover who
makes a row when he finds Wynn
and Dorothy on the balcony of the
restaurant, is also an easily recognized
type. Accordingly he raises a row
and tries to shoot thee abaret girl
and the miner, only to be killed by
the miner, who thinks only of saving
the girls life.
But the rounder, described as ga
young man about town." happens to
have been a brother of the political
boss of the town, and this individ.

WARM KNEE CAPS
MADE OF WOOL
ARE liked

A South Orange woman kpits and
sends wooden knee caps to her male
relatives in the Canadian troops on
the other side. Letters she has re-
ceived indicate that these articles are
greatly appreciated by the men in the
trenches, who write that the damp
ness affects the knees very frequent
ly.
This hint. may be applicable in or
binary times when warmth is needed
because of age or extreme weather
conditions. Instructions for knitting

EFFICIENCY IS
FEATURE OF
BLOUSE

What may be safely called me-
that insists upon being seen at every
| turn of the fashions. There is Moth
ing new about the loose, straight
tunic, cut off at the hips or below,
| and we once wore it in a 1f-hearted
fashion, calling it a Russian blouse.
It has been exploited for two years,
but never taken seriously by our pub
lie as a whole, although certain seq
ments of women wore it constantly as
a becoming and useful garment
Personalities are never good form,
and yet, it may be within the bounds
of good taste to say that a dress
maker in New York turned out 16 Of
these blouses for Miss Anne Morgan
when she was bound for the devas-
tated regions of France to do her
wonderful bit.
The garment in it's new shape pre-
sents itself on the poster placards as
an efficiency garment. 1t may be
made of any material, worn over any
kind of blouse, and it drops Imply
over a separate skirt.
Three of these have come over from
show how determined the French are
to wear them. They are of black vel
veteen, plaid velours and Burgundy
red veIveteen, and two are low in the
neck and one quite high. Two of
them have semi-sleeves, mere arm
bands that drop four inches below the
shoulders, and each has a-belt ar
ranged in a noveDand ornate way, all
ways subscribing to the Jeanne Ian
vim trick of going in and out through
| buttonholes and under pleats
Lanvin has made this minor fash
ion as dominant as she did pockets
and the farthingale.
There are other bodices that are
nothing but gashes, but these are
used mostly for the evening. They
/ have the good taste to go with Orien-
tai skirts, which means those that
are tucked under and fastened to
narrow, short lining, for the big, biat
/ sash is Oriental at its source.

was a Friday afternoon of the day
that Caruso sang for the second time
this season. Speaking of the coin
cidence, Mr.. Smith said, 1.-THE youth
who absorbed the attention of sky
gazing connoisseurs, diverting it even
from the luminaries that tWinkled at
the Metropolitan Opera House, was
Jascha HeifetZ. His first appearance
with orchestra in the city and the in
spring results he achieved made the
matinee of the Symphony Society in
| Carnegie Hall the most important mu-
steal event of eight hours crowded
with interesting incidents. Those peo-
pie who attended the opera in the
| evening and who had listened to the
young Wolinist's mastery interpreter
ton of the Bruch D minor concerto,
were quite convinced that not even
the imprisoned singing of Enrico Ca
russo furnished the intense pleasure
which the playing of Heifetz had
given"
No one can deny for moment that
| HeifetZ will be the idol of musicians
| and the public alike this season and
for many others to come. The young
genius has been the most talked of
artist in the country ever since he first
stepped foot upon the stage in Car
negie Hall on October 9th. The
overwhelming reception accorded the
youth was beyond all description and
now the entire country wants him.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

The tea kettle should never be
empty, but always full of boiling
water ready for service.
A teaspoonfuI of salt added to the
water when poaching eggs will hold
the whites together.
If the glass percolator of your cof-
fee pot breaks, usG a glass lemon
squeezer for the time being.
If water stands in the jardiniere
in which a ported plant stays it will
cause the leaves to drop off.
Having 80 or more small pieces of
clothing to put out of doors for baby
each day, I thought out a plan to re-
ieve the hands from suffering with
cold during the work of putting out
and taking in the clothing.
1 have a piece of rope long enough
to reach from post to post on my reg
ular clothesline, hook on each post
and loop at each end of the rope
Laying the rope on my kitchen table
1 pin on the articles, folding it back
ard forth the length of convenient
arm-reach. Now it is but a moments
work in the cold to run to the clothes
line post, place one loop over the hook
and carry the other end of the line
to the opposite post, where I slip the
loop over the hook. In taking N, fold
in the line hand over hand as it was
put out.
In boiling meat for soup put colo
water to it and let it come slowly tt
a simmer to extract the juice. If meat
is boiled for itself alone, put it inte
boiling water, which causes the outel
surface to contract and the richness
of the meat is retained within.
If your hair is very oily, try dip
ping your brush in water and passing

times a week. This will prevent su
