<fY OOK who's here!" cried a
jovial voice. and Tom
- Mason came to full stop
at the table where our party OF
four had just finished dining. I'm
meeting Pat whenever the old chap
decides to arrive. Now II you were
to ask me to draw up a chair and
consume a beaker OF foaming gin
ger ale, 1t would give me a pleas
ant opportunity to tell Miss Phoebe
how we'll she's looking"
Jim flashed a quick. keen glance
from Phoebe to Neal and back
again before he replied to Evelyn
Mason's cousin. In the tiny inter
val before Jim spoke, Tom leaned
down and murmured in his usual
pseudo-devoted manner:
"And to tell Donna Anna that
she's lovelier than ever"
Then Jim's voice overrode Toms
whisper with a cordial:
"Draw up and sit down, Tommie.
my lad"
Tom assented readily and made
a great point OF offering his good
wishes to Phoebe and Neal with
cordiality and certain easy ig
noring OF the past. All this dis
played the versatility of good
breeding and made me realize again
that family does count.
The Masons and Harrisons weren't
a bit better than simple folk like
Carl and Daisy and me-but tradi-
tion and training have given them
as a heritage what we have to dig
out for ourselves. And i. for one,
don't always know where 20 dig.
We were all on excellent terms
by the time Pat arrived-and then
things took a turn for the even
more chummy and cheerful. The

DEAR ELIZABETH I.ATrIMER:

DEAR ELIZABETH I.ATTiMEH;
will tell you how j earn a reg
ular salary each week without
leaving my home. For two years
j have kept a set of books In order
for a business here In town. This
Is low i do IL. The books are
bro0oft to me each day by delivery
bog who calls for them next morn
hs. After supper / post each days
charges from order book to ledger
this only takes one TO two hours
work each evening except at end
OF month when all bills must be
made. This very simple system Is
used by many Of the smaller stores
and requires no expert, simply care
full, regular care to keep accounts
up to the minute; and most store
keepers are glad to pay a fair sum
to have this work done as otbeA
wise they must use their own atfer
business hours as the work Will
not justify a man keeping an extra
clerk. i hope some one will look
around and find an opportunity to
use my idea-haunt smaller stores
until you do-that the way.

ARTISTS PLEASE LARGE AUDIENCE
 AT HIGH SCHOOL

lAnna Louise David, harpist, and John Barnes Wells, tenor, both warm eaworites with Bridgeport audiences,
 were given Q most enthusiastic geet- ing last evening when they appeared at the Bridgeport High School aS part of the Alumni Lecture Course. Their program was one well calculated to please and the audience showed it's appreciation of the excellent work of
 these artists in no uncertain ter1nA Dncores were the rule of the evening and both Miss David and KIT. Wells
 were most gracious in responding.
 Miss David, pre-eminent in her art,
 mEe a very delightful and artistic Derformance. It is no wonder all of fhe ancient courts had their harpists, for the liquid melody that flows from Ene strings is like none other. All of her selectoins were most interesting and the audience was much delighted when she announced she would give
 es an encore '',The 18th Century Music Box" Miss David's technique is fin akEhed. and one of the numbers that { pReased most was "Contenpiad Renie. Her work as acconpanist for AGr. Wells was not the least rnerrto- xaous part of the performance
 1Fr. Wells is the possessor of a very resonant tenor that has much of sweetness in it and he sings with an keristic finish that is a pleasure to
 hear. Hfs songs are. always delight RuI for somehow they have a human xyuaIfty and a hunnor that seems ab- i eeut from the usual concert program

MILLINERY AND
 NURSING GLASSES
 ARE POPULAR

The various classes at the St Vim cent community house are progress ing very nicely. The nursing class which started recently under the direction of Miss Catherine Tuit is now very popular and a great many more than can be accommodated have registered. The class has some very fine equipment to work with. The different articles have been borrowed from St. Vincent's hospital. The millinery class under the direction of Miss Mary Bum, will take up a new series of lessons on the up-to-date models. Miss Bum is acquainted with the latest models as she keeps in constant touch with the leading designers of the country. This class meets on Thursday evenings.
 All the members of the house will go to communion in a body on Feb ruary 29, the last Sunday of the month. It has not as yet been de- cided what church the members will attend. A community breakfast will be served at the house following the service.
 It is the wish of Miss Elizabeth | Daley, the matron at the home, that ! the girls register with her as soon as 1 possible so that she may be able tc
 make definite arrangements.

MRS. BERNARD
 SAYS THIS IS
 WOMAN'S DAY

Previous to Mrs. Bernard's demon stration at the Food Hut yesterday, Mrs. Bernard gave the following shor- talk:
 The H. c. l.. must be looked at from the penny end of the dollar. If each woman would make out her menus weekly and follow that plan as closely as possible, laying aside each day what was saved, the H. c. L. would begin to take a downward trend She would see results and be encouraged to greater efforts.
 Buy staples at sales---soap, rice, beans, canned goods and meat for two or three days. One cooking saves gas. Use fireless cooker when possible Buy fresh vegetables often, go to the market, walking one way, riding home, thus gaining health and saving pennies. Buy only what you want one-half pound of meat or three chops and not two pounds of meat and six chops because salesman is eyeing you. Do not telephone orders. Try to make maid careful of your property and 1 saving of butter. Keep store room as larger houseazeeperS do, watching every cents worth.
 Women must heap the men save, 1 but few of them do. Housekeeping 1 is a business, in fact, the most i'm portant in all the world,-East, West, i North or South. Mighty few women are ever interested except to rush 1 through the work and meals with as little thought or work as possible. 1 That, and the H. c. L. go together well. Thought and work and H. c. 1 L. disagree The man is the first con
 sideration and to help him with the
 money side is all important Only
 constant watching of waste, distrue- l tive waste, will save the day. What
 can be done in war days can be re- peated-
 This is the woznan's day. We
 are a great force, and together can
 accomplish anything. Shoulder te
 shoulder like great army, exchang- | ing views, getting together often i man runs his business, we will suc-
 ceed. Business men stand together
 by means of clubs, Chamber of Com
 merce, etc. Each woman goes the
 way she p1eaSes, and the result is the
 H. c. L. If women with time hang ing heavy will form clubs, get 1T
 touch with prices, try community buying, the middle man would lost
 his stranglehold, our poor merchant:
 could give us some good sales once
 more, and give the wage earner {
 breathing spell.
 The young housekeeper from the
 first meal served in her home, mus
 study, buy carefully, look to her wage earner's health, and health means hap
 piness, and to the future cares anc
 duties that must come her way, a:
 part of the great universe.
 Following the talk Mrs. BernarC
 made various demonstrations of cook ing one recipe of which follows:
 Apple Charlotte: Slice eight apple;
 about Is inch thick and put in tht
 bottom of shallow pan. Gut stall bread in small pieces and lay ovei ; apples. Add little nutmeg ant brown sugar, and enough cold wate until it can be seen easily through
 bread Dot over with butter subsd atute, baking until apples are tender s This is enough for six people l All articles used in the demonstra l ton were donated by the Br1dgepor x Public Market, the D. M. Read Co = and J. E. Porter.
