ETIQUETTE

Mrs. Blank-When receiving guests you may say, with a cordial hand shake, How do you do, MT. Brown?" or Mrs. Smith, am very glad to see you." When bidding them good-by you may say, "Good=by Mrs. Jones, it has been a pleasure to see you," or ,,Good-by Miss Robinson, I shall hope to see you again soon." It is not actually obligatory to serve refresh ments on ones day at home; but it is cutomary. Tea is the favorite bever- age offered, and with it shall sand wiches or cakes are passed. In cold weather hot chocolate may be sub stituted for tea. If tea is served, # should be made fresh for each-guest or group of guests. Such refresh ments are usually served in tho drawing room, which is presided over by the hostess or her daughter or a freind.
 Robby-You had better not pur- posely allow the girl you are play ing cards or checkers with beat you;' it would be rather insulting to her, although your intentions would be your very best, if her game is bad; but beat her by small score if yo can.

FOR THE HOME
 DRESSMAKER

If you have difficulty threading the sewing machine lay a piece of white cloth or paper under the needle. The reflection shows where the needles eye is.
 For garments laundered frequently such as aprons, house dresses or mus lin undergarments, hemmed patches are best. In this patch the square or rectangular shape to make matching figures easier.
 Then the edge is turned under and hemmed to the patch piece and the edge of the patcn piece is turned un- Ger and hemmed to the garment. For thin dresses, silk waists and garments that require only occasional launder- ing. the set in, or overland patch, is better, as it is very inconspicuous.
 For any patching, old material is Lest. If only new scraps are avail able, shring and fade them before cut t1rg the patch piece.
 Before taking a cake from the pan, set the pan in cold water for a few minutes and then turn it out on the plate. By doing this the cake will not stick.

WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD
 OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT

Bridgeport, having played golf with all of the local golfers at the Brook lawn Country club several years ago in a match tournament.
 In writing "The Girl Outside," MT. Lawrence has adopr-c a plot that is unique. A man who has been inn prisoned becomes infatuated with a photo that has been pasted upon the wall of his cell by a former inmate. The photo is of a yoGng lady of pre- possessing appearance. The prisoner determines to learn the identity of the face that has enraptured him, and how he does this, when he re- gains his liberty, is told throughout three acts and a prologue.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Match marks on a polished surface may be removed by being first rubbed with a cut lemon and then with a rag dipped in clean water.
 If a toothbrush which is new is soaked over night in a glass of wa ter it will prevent the hairs coming out, and will last much longer.
 When making mustard, instead of using water mix with little milk and a pinch of salt. It keeps the mustard soft and makes it go farther.
 Never trim a lamp wick with scis- sors. It is almost impossible to cut it clean and straight. Just rub the burn ed part off with an old cloth.
 Pour boiling water over raisins, let stand for 0 few minutes, drain the wa ter off, and you will find that the stones can be quickly and easily squeezed out from the stem end. Eucalyptus oil will remove grease stains from any kind of material with out injuring it. Apply little or the oil with a clean piece of flannel. and rub the material gently until the stains disappear.
 Stale cheese is never palatable. Try the remedy of wrapping it up in a ! cloth steeped. in vinegar for a couple | of hours or so.

(By Associated Press.)

Aldershot, England, May 13.-Amer-
lean soldiers encamped in this district
had an object lesson in the conduct of
big boxing match here few days
ago when they were invited to be the
guests of the British soldiers at a
program of fourteen contests between
representatives of the Aldershot Com
mand and the Southern Command of
the British army.
The headliners of the tournament
included about half of the best box
.ers in England, now all in khaki.
Among them were Sergeant Jimmy
Wilde, Sergeant Rolph of the Cana
dians, Sid Burns, Corporal Billy Full
lerton. and several others whose
names were we'll known at the Ma
tional Sporting Club in pre-war days.
There were no purses, the prizes
being simple silver and bronze med
ais worth about S. each. Had the com
petition taken place at London
arena and been open to the public, the
program would have been worth
about S25,0OO to the promoters, But
the public was not admitted, and the
price of admission to the soldier
spectators ranged from twelve cents
to one dollar. The latter amount cor
responded to the $50 seats in the old

MUNICIPAL HOG RAISING in
PARIS MAY RESULT FROM WAR
(By Associated Press J

Paris, May 13.-Municipal hog rails
ing in Paris on large scale may re-
suit from the war. Lack &C labor and
deficient transportation facilities have
not only held up provisions needed by
the housewife and made them dearer
but have delayed the garbage before
front doors until 1t has compelled uni.
versal attention to its Immense vol
ume as we'll as to the incony enience
from its overstay in the street.
Hog raising has been proposed as
a remedy for the lack of food and the
super-abundance Of rotting waste.
Vegetable garbage and greasy sub
stances In the boxes over which Par
isians have been stumbling nightly
since the war began would, 1t is as
serted, fatten 100000 hogs each year,
and pork is now worth fifty cents
pound
Thousands of errant dogs noursh
themselves on the contents of gar
bage boxes, and great many of the
dogs have been spreading hydropho-
bia.
The proposal embraces municipal
markets for the sale of the fresh pork,
eliminating middlemen's profits and
providing competition against dealers
who, in spite of all efforts to control
retail prices, have found means of
steadily pushing up profits. It is es-
timated that the gross revenue from
the enterprise would be 100,00000U
francs a year, all of 1t nearly clear
gain for the city.

tism, which has issued an appeal for
support in opposing this new propa-

after the end of the war" asserted the
German association Extensive pre-
parations have been made therefor.
and pecuniary resources have been
assembled
The appeal defends the Jews against
charges of usury and profiteering dur
ing the war, and declares that the an
ti-Semites desire to use hatred for
Jews as a means of upholding the
strongly threatened and unjustified
of small caste against the
inevitable new orientation of Ger
many's internal conditions"

magazine Deutschland's Erneuerung

in which, after discussing the cam

If the electoral reform be forced up

that only Germans by blood-not
merely by citizenship-shal1 be eligi-
BILE for election. 1t must also be so
ordered that only pure-blooded Ger
mans of certain standard of educa.

German nationalism shall be taught
only by persons of national dependa-
bleness."
