THE LETTER OF A DEBUTANTE

Dear S. r.: Things are looking a
little brighter in the social circle these
days, but the whirl would not make
one at all dizzy yet. The big recep-
of town guests to our city and a num-
ber of very charming ones. but things
are not what they were since so many
of the older bachelors have joined the
ranks of the Benedicts and most of the
younger ones have not yet returned
from service. There was a time, not
So many winters ago, when charming
visitors like those who have been here
the past week would have been escort
ed around entirely by local talent. In
fact the good looking visiting girls and
their hostess would have waiting list
of some dozen of the bachelors who
always introduced attractive guests in
our city to the head social set. and an
out of town escort would stand no
show at all with such competition as
was put up by those who had been at
it SO long and successfully. But since
some of them are gone to war and the
others have gone also. the pleasure of
being town beaux and bringing out
the debutante will fall to the lot of
the boys nearer their age, who have
before stood around craving an intro
duction and listening to the roar of
the social lions.
One of the young officers in France
has cabled a proposal of marriage to a
beautiful girl of the Titan type in the
younger society crowd Of our town.
She is to send by return cable an an
swer yes or "noe' but hasn't done
so yet The longer the answer is de-
layed the more sure her friends are
that it will be in the affirmative for

A FRIEND OF ENGLISH
Winston Spencer Churchill Tells OF
Attitude, Toward Wilson.

London, Jan. 1S.-Winston Spenser
Churchill secretary of state for war
in the new British cabinet. in a recent
speech at the American society din
ner to Ambassador Joh1 w. Davis,
in reviewing President Wilson'S serv-
ices, said that the crowds which
thronged the streets of London during
the presid ent's visit here showed how
keenIy and shrewdly the British peo-
pie understood and appreciated Pres
ident Wilson's work for the world
Before he came to US. Col.
Churchill continued. "he was TO US
the friend Of Justice and humanity.
but now he Is the friend of Great Brit
ain. He has made us understand that
he eomprehended the special needs,
dangers and conditions Of our island
empire. depending from month TO
month and from year to year upon
its naval strength and power for its
security as well as it's integrity. and
from hour to hour for the whole OF
its prosperity. even for its daily bread,
he made US realize that he grasped
and understood our unique situation
and our special condition in regard to
all that concerned the security or
Great Britain on the seas. He took
away when he left not only the re-
spect due to a worid-famous states
man. but also the personal liking and
confidence Of the great mass OF the
British people
Let US no more forget that our
common task is not yet ended The
war has been brought 20 - conclusion.
but We have yet to make sure fhaf We
are not defrauded of its fruits. that
we do not let them slip through our
fingers and we do not fritter away

LAMB AND MUTTON

The difference of a few cents in
the cost of pound of meat frequent
ly determines whether that emat ap.
pears on the table in many house
holds. Yet that difference of few
cents just as frequently is caused by
the limited knowledge of the house
wife of the meat which she desires.
Take the cost of mutton and lamb
it is regarded as high. But the aver
age housewife who so regards it
speaks only in terms of chops and
hind-ouarters. The quarter of
mutton is just as dainty, just as full
of flavor. just as eatable in every
way if it is properly prepared. 1t
also is many cents cheaper per
pound.
Your butcher, if he is up-to-date,
knows how to bone and roll a shout
der of lamb or mutton so that it may
be cut into Saratoga chops or made
into roast of unusual sweetness.
Breeders of sheep have paid more
to raising better Favored
meat in the last few years, and their
efforts show clearly in the resulting
product.
Some DIRECTORS to lamb and mutton
say that they cannot eat it because OF
the "wolly TASTE" and that they
know of no way to remove it. That
is merely case Of pulling the wool
over your own eyes. If the fell, or
,ough outer membrane that covers
;heh meat, is removed, there will be

You are taking no chances when
;ou order lamb. The healthfulness
md strength-building qualities OF
his meat have long been recognized

quota. In two adjoining counties,
for instance, in the fourth Liberty
Loan campaign, this was forcefully
illustrated. One county, with a
quota of $4,000 sold it's bonds to
62 persons. The adjoining county,
with the same quota, used the "fair
and square" individual quota, system,
assigning every citizen his share, and
the 100000 bonds was distributed
among 400 investors.
Under the individual quota system,
every man in every county is assign
ed definite amount of bonds or
notes, and is expected to subscribe to
at least thhat amount. The quota is
based on his income and property.
There is local committee to which
he may appeal if he believes his

quota is unfair. He is under no com.
pulsion to subscribe that amount OF
any other amount, but it has been
found that in the great majority of
cases he is glad to have some definite
sum fixed for him as it gives him an
idea of what his share in the govern
ment loan should be.
Every zone in the Sixth Federal
Reserve District where the individual
quota system has come up for DISCUS
sion has adopted it. The district
headquarters has been at work for
several months preparing the indivi-
dual quota cards, and it is expected
that every mans share will definitely
be fixed by the opening of the cam
paign. The individual quota plan is
a fact in the Victory Loan campaign.

FAIR AND SQUARE SYSTEM

The fair and square" individual
quota system, to be used to large
extent in the Victory Loan campaign
beginning April 21st, is expected to
distribute investments in the fifth
issue of government securities more
fairly throughout the country than
any previous campaign has done. By
this system, the burden of subscrib-
ing to the governments securities
will not be put upon that portion of
the public which feels its patriotic
duty most, but every man will be
shown just what his country expected
him to do.
We have become accustomed to
quotas for states, counties and towns,
and in practically every case each
such unit has "gone over the top"
But there have been many instances
where a comparatively small portion
of the population has subscribed that
