Whenever Hostess
Serves Coffee She
is Always Right
(By Ida C. Bailey Allen)

(By Ida u. Bailey Allen)
Whatever the time or the occasion,
the hostess VIII oserves coffee in some
form, is sure to be right
To do this it is not necessary to
give a dinner. In France, Italy,
Roumania, Sweden, Denmark and
other European countries, this fact is
so we'll recognized that informal
afternoon gatherings and evening
chats are so much the order or tn.
day, that the coffee pot is the most
over-worked utensil in the household.
An older civilization has had time to
develop politeness to the nth de-
gree" and to realize that men guests,
as we'll as women, appreciate coffee
more than almost any other oni
beverage. Our old southern hostesses
realized this too, and always included
coffee in the menu whatever the
occasion.
Men as a general rule detest "pink
teas" Why? Because the refresh
ments have no punch and are often
so unfamiliar that they repel rather
than attract. On the other hand,
women like the unusual. The sue
cessful hostess then, must strike a
happy medium to please both her
men and women guests. For in
stance, everyone likes pie, so why
not serve little individual apple
pies, baked in muffin pans, topped
with whipped cream and accompanied
by steaming cups of perfectly made
coffee.

Women Enforcing
English Act on
Profiteering:

London, Sept. 23-(By The Asso-
ciated Press. )-Women are to have
an important part in enforcing the
anti-profiteering act under instruc-
tons for it's enforcement issued by
Sir Auckland Geddes, president of
the board Of trade.
Local authorities in England, Scot
land and Wales are instructed to APP
point local committees, two members
of which must be women, to investi-
gate all complaints arising from the
sale at retail of the articles to which
the anti-profiteering act may be APP
piled from time to time by the board
of trade.
Complaints must be heard in public
except in particular cases and books
or documents must be treated as
confidential if the owner so desires.
The committee may either dismiss
the complaint or if satisfied the
profit is unjust, require the seller to
repay the amount paid in excess. The
committee also may cause the ar
raignment of the profiteer in court
where he will be liable on conviction
to fine of not more than 81 1000 or
Imprisonment not exceeding three
months.

Berlin Soon Will
Put End to Using
Black War Bread

Berlin, Sept. 23.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press.)-On the strength of
the present prospects Of an early i'm
provement in wheat deliveries, Ber-
lin, in a few weeks will be able to
take definite leave of the black, pas
ty, tasteless war bread which has
been a prolific producer of morning
grouches and indigestion.
The new loaf which bakers will
provide will be hailed with enthu-
siasm, as it deserves to be for the
feat of washing down two slabs of
potato or carrot meal bread with a
cup of acorn coffee, though only one
of many gastronomic acrobatics
practiced by blockaded Germans in
the last four years, was never rend-
cred any easier by frequent repeti-
tions.
With the disappearance of black
bread, little white rolls celebrate
their public resurrection. Favored
guests are even able to obtain them
now by employing the ever infallible
war trick. "Speak softly and carry
