Can You Pay
a Compliment?

N DAYS gone by - has been re-
garded as extremely important for
the young man who wished 70
make his way in fashionable society
TO know how to pay graceful compr-
m ments-especially 10 the women
whom he met A young man vas not
considered quite we'll bred Ia fact
he was considered something % a
boor and a rustic. unless he could
turn a graceful bit OF fattery.
One hundred per cent American
young men nowadays do not lose
mucn sleep or spend many wakeful
hours Ia preparing themselves in this
gentle art Of fettery. In fact he
pretty speeches that our great grand
fathers paid the ladies or such pretty
speeches az a Frenchman OF gashion
would pay the woman he knew would
be regarded By our American girls
as absurd. 90 the young man CO to-
day who goes about Il deliberately

rather of the blaxed trail 70 s,.c1A
success. However. Il IL not TOO much
20 say that the ability 20 pay compIi-
ments is just as important now "a
ever Only we have a very different
way Of paying them.
There is nothing hat makes a
young man unpopular with The
women he meets SO quickly as the
tendency 70 say the uncompliment.y
thing. that IS. the thing that shows
that he Is G. itically disposed toward
them. Some young men seem 70
think that 20 make ar occasional cen
soring remark concerning the way the
girls he Fnows dress, finding fault
with this hat or that frock. is 20 show
discrimination and 20 indicate per
haps an accustomedness 70 feminine
society. But women young and old
are never in the least pleased BY this
sort OF thing Somehow the Amer
lean woEan's masculine Ideal Is The
husky, virile. outdoor type. not lie
narrowly discriminating sort eho
would be too kneely analytical
One sort Of remark ths. aimc<t

that shows lack OF admiration or re-
spect for women in general Yet
some young men think they are
rather clever when they make occa-
sional remarks about the way with
girl friends are hysterical and chicken
hearted, fckle or frivolous simply be
cause they are girls.
So the sort OF compliment hat IS
sure 70 make young man liked BY

Cheay Winter
Vegetables

~ NE mistake that housewives are
an, to make is to think that as
soon rs cold weather comes the
season Of fresh vegetables is over The
country housewife IS not so prone 70
make this mistake because usually she
has IN her own store closets a supply Of
bcefs, carrots. cabbages, turnips. as well
as AT least two kinds OF potatoes
Celery is usually 70 be had from outside
storage trenches But with the city
housewife there Is no constant reminder
that long after frost comes there is an
abundant supply OF fresh wholesome
vegetables TO be had at small cost
So don't start in with your canned
vegetables yet There Will be months
after Christmas when these will be The
only vegetables you can get or when
others will be very high IN price. and
above ell else don't begin 20 use timed
vegetables. They are extremely rx-
pensive and the supply is limited.
Moreover, so long as you can get fresh
winter vegetables f Is absurd To NE
those that are put up IN cans.
Cabbage is a winter vegetable that
Is usually not az all expensive and it
has the advantage OF being good either
raw or cooked. Raw II has the advan-
tages OF p green salad and cooked It
can be served in q variety OF ways
One OF the best OF r-tme less
meat" dishes is made by stufing a
cabbage with mixture Of savory rice
and q little force meat. Cabbage is also
good boiled and served with a little salt
pork. thus making a little meat go a
long way: and there are combinations
OF cabbage and sausage meat that are
liked by those who have a palate for
hearty viands.
Spinach Is vegetable that can be
had in most places after cold weather
sets in. and It IS extremely valuable as
It IS digestible to those who find such
things as cabbage a little too strong
impunity in chiIdrens diet The fact
that II has little actual nutritive value
and that II possesses few calories
should not make it seem useless as ii
is very refreshing 70 the system and
has valuable medicinal qualities Com
bined with egg it makes a dish that is
palatable and nourishing
Turnips parsnips and carrots deserve
greater popularity than they enjoy in
many parts OF the country. Some per-
sons have an aversion TO turnips that
can really be overcome with a little
wilpower and the same thing applies
TO parsnips In fact sometimes It hap
pens that a decided supposed antipathy
for parsnips can be turned into posi-
tive craving through q few brave at
tenlpts 70 eat them. Carrots are valu-
able as a favorer and should be kept
on hand n the kitchen of every thrifty
housewife.
The list OF these winter vegetables is
really very extensive. Beets remain in
good condition till spring and celery
though expensive is available. Onions
are always with US and are not
likely to be unduly expensive Winter
squashes are good when properly cooked
and may be used either as a vegetable,
as a substitute for pumpkin - ~ \
