ETIQUETTE

When a lady is called to tele-
phone while in a theatre, the gentle
man who is her escort should walk
with her to the door and wait near
by until she is ready to return to her
seat. This same attention should be
paid to her in any public place.
DAUGTTTER-In introducing a
young man to an older woman,
whether that woman be your mother
or merely a friend, the proper form
to use is, ''Mr. Blank I should like
to have you kno1 my mother" or
MRS. Brown, may I present Mr..
Blank?' This will apply equally well
in presenting younger woman to
one older.

COOKING WHALEMEAT.

A New Hotel has for some time
been featuring whale steaks on It's
menus, and finds that considerable
demand has been built up among pa
irons, according to the Hotel Gaz-
cite. The meat is purchased frozen
and thawed as required. 1t is all
meat, with no fat or bone, having a
distinct flavor, not at all fishy which
may be overcome by dipping in hot
soda water before cooking. 1t is
somewhat tough, however, and the
best results are obtained by cooking
slowly a long time with moist heat,
how temperature, and liberal sea-
soning. Guests prefer this meat pan
broiled in the form of steak, and
So cents is charged for a portion
one-third of a pound. Excellent SOUP
stocks, steaks. and curries may be
made of whale meat at cost of ap-
prnximately one-third that Of beef

LAUNDRY HINTS.

Never wash white and colored fab
RIGS in the same water, and in wash
ing colored fabrics do not fail to
set the colors. One method Of do
ing this is to soak the garments over
night in a solution made by dissolving
one ounce of sugar of lead in eight
quarts of cold water.
Another method is to rinse in salt
water, using two rinsing waters. A
third is to put cup Of vinegar in the
final rinsing water. Wash colored
fabrics in warm, not hot water, and
do not rub soap on them; dry them
in the shade and as quickly as uossi-
Bile. Some domestic science experts
wash fine colored clothes in starch
water instead of with soap. The use
of a quart of strained starch to four
quarts of water in the first water and
a quart Of the starch to eight of the
water in the second.

were in a hospital LUCREzIA BoR1
operating roon-many women believe
that for the sake of cleanliness they
must have a warm bath each day and
scrub their skins hard with soap.
Now if the purpose of the bath were
simply to cleanse the body it would be
perfectly correct to give 1t the soap
treatment daily. just as you treat your
floors or chinaware. But we must re-
member that the skin, which is the
body's cloak. is something delicate.
something which nature intended to be
beautiful. You mustn't treat it harsh1y
with alkaline soaps or irritating prepa-
rations if you would have it lovely.
Would you keep your skin white, free
from blemishes, soft to the touch and
lovely to the eye2 Then remember these
things:
Three Important Points.
First, stimulate the circulation by
thorough rubbing with a soft brush or
Turkish towel after the bath.
Second, after the warm bath to open
the pores, dash the body with cold
water to close them again naturally.
Third, use only the purest soaps.

to the skin. and if you cannot have the
sea bath frequently, you can take an

CALCUTTA RICE.

Two cups rice.
Two cups tomatoes.
One-half pound cheese.
One tablespoon salt.
Peppers and celery or onions may
be added, if desired.
Boil rice. Mix it with tomatoes,
grated cheese and seasonings, and
pour in to baking dish. Bake half
an hour. If peppers or celery are
used, cut up and boil with the rice.
All of these four dishes except the
pea souffle have as much building
material, protein, as a pound and a
quarter of solid meat. The pea souf-
fe furnishes only about one-haf as
much protein, but it is very good in
stead of meat at a lighter meal.
Cheese is fine meat-saver. There
is a. great deal of food in little piece
of it. Don't eat it at the end of a
meal when you have already eaten
enough. You would not eat a piece
of meat then. An inch cube of
American cheese contains a third
more protein than the same sized
piece of lean meat. Cheese is ex-
cellent food if eaten at the right
time.
A rich biscuit crist should be used
for chicken or any meat pies.

W. S. 5. SHOULD NOT BE
GIVEN AWAY AS PREMIUMS

Washington, Oct. 1o.-The practice
by some merchants of giving War
Savings Stamps as premiums with
purchases is strongly condemned by
the treasury. THE War Savings
movement was created to help the
people of the United States win the
war;, said treasury official in d
statement today. when q retail
dealer gives away a War Savings
Stamp he does so so that he can sell a
man something the man does not
need. The government gets IS cents
from the dealer and the dealer gets
SIS or $40 from the customer for the
articles the customer ought not to
have bought and which the war in
dustries board and the war depart
ment cannot spare the facilities and
labor to manufactures Thus the
transaction goes round the circle and
precisely defeats the War Savings
movement

is not restfuL and you don't enjoy
Your food as you once did. And your
nerves get the best of you. Things
bother you, ruffle you, that you never
noticed before. You begin to see diff
