How Much a Portion?

In the big cities there are little eat
can buy a palatable. we'll cooked din
ner for price which, when you con-
slider prevailing costs of food and
service. labor and table linen, dishes
and fuel. you wonder how it can be
done. If you stop to ask one of the
successful directors of such an enter
prise you will probably learn that in
his opinion the reason he can supply
you with a dinner for what you could
not possibly provide it for yourself
IN your own home is because he caters
TO large number of persons and this
makes it possible for him to take ad-
vantage of large quantity prices. He
makes his profit on a very small mar
gin of profit on each meal served. but
SO long as there is profit he gains.
Ahother thing you will find is that
.hey always do rather elaborate book
heeplnS. .Ihey simply have to figure
costs, and the man or woman who suc-
ceeds at the table d'hote" business
always knows just about what amount
ne or she must allow for meat This
is one of the big items. If you are to
make profit on a seventy-cent din
ner. say, you must have your meat
cost not more than 20 cents a portion
Each one has it worked out according
to his own method. but he always does
figure before he buys the meat at a
given price or he does not buy it.
Now, very good thing for the
housewife to do is to figure her meat
per portion in this way. She NAV
feel that she can afford on an aver
age of 20 cents a portion for every
dinner. If she buys chicken she can
not possibly provide meat at so low
a cost but still she might go on hav-
ing chicken if, to make up for it, she
is willing to have some Inexpensive
substitute for meat the next day. In
fguring for such meats as pot roast,
chops, corned beef or meat loaf, she
need not have any difficulty in keep
ing within her estimate. simply re-
ducing the amount per person if she
feels that it is necessary. Thus, if you
are feeding four people, you may buy
a pot roast one night for S14O
that will do in a simple pot roast the
first night and the second night in a
meat pie. For the two dinners at 20
cents a person, when there are four
persons, you will really have s1.60, so
you may feel that you're ahead of the
game 20 cents, and this you may
credit yourself with for the night you

CHANCE GIVEN FOR COIFFEUR

I potent appeal to the public. No one
| Knows what induced the milliners to
start off the season with this cam
paign for false hair. 1t may be the
derHes all the fashions of France, or
1t may be an attempt at something
strlkingly new. Whatever the rea-
son, you can buy your coiffure with
your hat. This was done in 1907.
That year. when the fashion was
| accepted, a woman would take off
her hat and her coiffure at the same
time in her drawing room and place
1T on piece of furniture without
confusion or embarrassment. She was
as. careless about it as a British
judge would be in laying aside his
wig and gown. The real reason be-
hind it, say women who are the pos
SCISSORS of burnt and broken hair
through overcurling, is to give wom-
en- chance to wear the hair straight,
out and regain luster. 1t would be
wise if this would come to pass. At
any rate, there is a chance to let
the hair have long rest il we ac-

these hats and each is used separate

is the small fiat hat tilted over the

with the hiatus there filled in with
other hat-and the most sensational
one-is a large fiat shape which
shades the entire head and has long
ringlets sewed under the brim at
each side These ringlets fall to the
shoulders. Your memory quickly sug-
gests that it is the hat of 1870. worn
by the Empress Eugene. 1t was
really Victorian ia ashton. One thinks
of it in connection with English gar
den parties; of the heroines of An

be negligent, for it is covered by a

akin to fear that when the public
gets the chance to pin hair into it's
hats there will be some queer fash
ions abroad: 1t has taken a con-
servative mind during the last five
years to keep to a ladylike coiffure.
for surely women have run to the
EXTREMIST length of ugliness and in
elegance in hairdressing. The massed
wads that have been placed over the
ears during the last two years would

Peter Rabbit Goes Hungry.

In~inter there isn't a minute OF
day or night when Peter Rabbit is
outside of the dear Old Brier Patch
that he can afford not to watch and
listen for .danger. You see, at this
season of the year Reddy Fox is hun
cry most of the time and Is forever
hunting for Peter Rabbit. With snow
on the ground, and no leaves on the
bushes and young trees it is not
easy for Peter to hide. So as he
travels about the thought of Reddy
Fox is always in Peters mind.
But there are others whom Peter
fears even more and these wear
feathers instead Of fur coats. one OF
these is Terror the Goshawk. Peter
is not alone in his fear OF Terror;
There is not one among his feathered
friends who will not shiver at the
mention of Terror's name. Peter will
not soon forget the day he discovered
that Terror had come down from the
Far North and was likely to stay for
the rest of the winter. feter went
hungry all that day.
You see, it was this way: Peter had
gone over to the Green Forest very
early one morning hoping 70 get
breakfast there. He was hopping
along lipperty-lipperty lip with his
~
but at the same time with ears and
eyes alert for possible danger, when
a strange feeling swept over him. 1t
was a feeling that great danger was
very near. though he saw nothing and
heard nothing to indicate it. 1t was
lust a feeling, that was all.
Now Peter had learned that the wise
thing to do when one has such feel
ing as that is to seek safety first
and investigate afterward. At the in
slant he felt that strange feeling Of
fear he was passing a certain big hol-
low log. Without really knowing
why he did it he 'dived into that hol-
low log and even as he did so there
was the sharp swish of great wings.
Terror the Goshawk had missed
catching Peter by the fraction of a
second.
with his heart humping as If it
were trying to pound its way through
his ribs. Peter peeped out Of the hol-
low log. Terror had alighted on a
small stump only a few feet away.
He was very near the size of Redtail
the Hawk. whom Peter Knows SO well.
There was no denying that he was
handsome. His back was blush. His

and taken at once or we will have ac-
