Conflicting Explanations Of Shortage

The natural or business inclination OF
the person answering the inquiry gem

For example, a pamphlet issued by
the sugar producers association. says
that the supply is limited and the de-
mand is increasing.
Another explanation. one shown us
by one OF our local merchants, comes
from one of the oldest wholesale
houses in the west. house that has
no sugar to furnish to its customers
because 1t will not pay tribute TO
spectators.
The letter says that the fundamen-
tai cause was large series of export
ations OF sugar made by United
States refners to European countries.
The expectations were brought about
by the fact that the said exporters
could get more money out OF their
product abroad than they could at
home because of the restrictions OF
the food laws here.
They exported large quantities OF II

ETIQUETTE

ELBOWS ON TABLE-"A writer in a paper speaks of an actor's viola ton of the rules of etiquette in sitting was eating dinner. Yet I have seen, repeatedly, pictures of men. and wo- men sitting with elbows on the table drawn by distinguished artists and printed in the big magazines"
 (Answer. )-Artists are more inter estod In making pretty pictures than in observing the rules of etiquette In fact artists as q class are said to be in constant revolt against the con ventions and traditions of polite so- ciety. So keep your elbows of the tuble. if you wish to be considered well bred.

A very fine vinegar may be made by using apple peeling and cores, as well as windfalls, cutting out any de- cayed portions. Cover this cut up apple with cold water, scald to eN- tract all the juices; then strain into the vinegar cask, adding a few table spoonfuIs of any good syrup. which hastens the souriEg. Let the casll stand in the sun and in a few weeks the vinegar will be ready for use.
 If your kitchen table is too low, try four door stops and screw them to the bottom Of the table.

BOOT AND SHOE LORE.

It sometimes happens that one wishes to polish ones shoes when they are damp. It is impossible then to get a good polish and yet you have not the time to wait until they are thoroughly dry. If a few drops of raraffine are placed on a cloth and this is then rubbed over the leather there will be no trouble. Apply the polish in the usual way thereafter and the result will be most satisfac- tory.
 If new shoes do not naturally take to polish simply take half a lemon rub the leather with it, and then stand aside to dry. After this treat nent a nice polish may be secured with little effort.
 On the first few occasions of polish ing new brown shoes, apply the polish very liberaIly. This will secure Q handsomely deep tone that will make the shoes very attractive throughout the rest of their young lives.'
 It goes without saying that shoe trees should always be used. It pays these days to use a bit of care in pre- serving the good looks and good shape of ones shoes.
 A shoe really never is well taken care of if shoe trees are not used. Tissue paper may be used for the same purpose if stuffed tightly into the shoes.
 If boot or shoe pinches, try this; While the shoe is on the foot or on a tree, take a small piece of cloth wrung out of very hot water and put this over the part that is giving trouble. The pinching will disappear entirely after this treatment.

The sleeve and girdle use of the rather heavy silk cord here is a very attractive feature. The underslip is of palest Nile green satin Over it there is chiffon of che palest yellow. The green satin appears about the neck and arm openings, in a plain fold in the former, and in a gathered edge in the latter case. The cord is green and extends about the arm openings with a knot and tassel where it begins and ends. The cord about the waist is strung through satin-bound eyelets. There is a bit of crystal beading about the neck.
 The skirt portion is really not so full as the upper portion of the gar ment leads one to suppose. The ki- mono sleeves have heen cut right in t and the surplus width thus ad- ded is allowed to continue well down upon the skirt to give it a peg top simulation This extra fullness falls very gracefully into a cascade.
