PER DOLLAR IN H. c. |.
Labor Bureau Compares Prices Of
June With Those of December,
1918, in District of Columbia.

Every dollar spent by residents of
the District of Columbia in June for
general living expenses possessed ap-
proximately an increased purchasing
power of cent and a half over
dollar similarly expended in Deem
Der, 1918. That is. living expenses
in the District in June of this year
showed a decline of 1.4S per cent
as compared with the same figures
for December last year.
Figures for the District. contained
in the monthly labor review of the
bureau of labor statistics. Depart
food prices were 3.s5 per cent lower
in June, 1919, than they were last

For the same period mems clothing

1856 per cent. while women's clothing
cost 1.91 per cent less, an average
decrease of 1.45 per cent.
Housing cost advanced in the
period. the increase being, however,
only 9S per cent. Fuel and lighting
decreased .76 per cent in the period
covered in the comparison. Furni-
ture and furnishings showed de-
crease of .6S per cent. Miscellaneous
expense, however. advanced SO per
cent. this item including medical at
tention. amusements. magazines. etc

higher in December. 1918. than in
June, 1917. Carrying the comparison
further back and stating it from De-
cember. 1916. the figures show that
food costs had advanced 80 per cent
in June. 1917, from the December
G916) figures. The advance was
$3.50 per cent by December. 1917;
4547 by June. 1918: 65.o3 by Decem-
Der. 1918, and 1858 by April of this
year.
Clothing prices. increased zoo per
cent in the six months from Decem-
Der. 1916, had gone up a total of
1856 by last December. An average
of all items showed an increase of

Dear Cynthia--'I came, ! saw"

that friend "Ileona" is correct in her
rather outspoken statements.

by some of our young ladies. I have
tried some Of them for the mere expe-
rience of it and picked them up so
to speak. Needless to state, they are
senseless in direct proportion to their
forwardness. There is nothing inspir-
ing, nothing lofty, nothing soul grip
ping in any of them is all I can say of
them.
Is it true that human nature is so
cruelty extreme? To quote 'Ileona": {:

insipid. nonsensical, little knownoth-
ings, whose time is spent in talking
about the newest dance, the newest fell

dead countenances and actions. Who
can solve the enigma, / wonder?
Of course, another bitter truth of
'Ileona' rings forth: We men are not
after friendship. It's a hard knock,
but sincere one. We only build up
grand ideals that we wish others to
carry out, while we remain exceptions
us men.
Can there never be grand, pure,
sweet friendship between a boy and a
girl, man and woman; an undying
fellowship uncontaminated, pure and

truth. gentle reader, what do you think?
Can there be such friendship? I wish
with all my living soul that 7 could wit

like Ruth's-such a friendship modern
lied.

careful cutting the stems. The glass
or metal helps to give a clean edge
when cutting, and this is important,
as stencilins is simply painting in
through the holes onto the oilcloth.

size of the design to be applied to the
various pieces of the luncheon set. To
stencil the dolies divide lightly with
pencil line into quarters. Then place

some hard substance. The one motif
can then be swung around and the de-
sign painted through in each quarter.
To the left in the sketch is shown the
runner of the luncheon set that calls
for the design at each end. Below is
a border that can be made all around
the runner by simply repeating the de-
sign.
When oilcloth is used for stenciing
mix oil colors with turpentine and white
varnish, using one half Of each. If you
use wash material use oil colors with a
mixture Of one pint of turpentine, one
half ounce of wintergreen and one half
ounce of acetic acid. Let mixture
stand twenty four hours before using.
This will prevent the color fading with
sun or washing.
Be very careful not to smear the de-
sign in any part of the process.

pretty well, and you might divide a

through the meat chopper to make more.
Lemonade can be made without much
cost. and this. with some small cakes
or sweet crackers and candy, will be
plenty of refreshments.
