ETIQUETTE

EATING AN ORANGE-''In eating an orange in company how should It be handled? Should it be cut, or peeled and divided with the fingers, or eaten with spoon?" (Answer)- An authority on table manners says "An orange is on the whole most successfully treated when it is cut, unpeeled, into sixths or eighths, the points of the cresents thus formed turned back, the seeds pushed out with the fruit knife and the juicy flesh torn off with the teeth. The usual way of eating this fruit is to cut it in halves and extract the juice with an orange spoon"
 A RATHER FORMAL BREAKFAST. -"'If one has invited guests for breakfast what would be the proper menu for rather formal home meal, all the party being good eaters % (Answer)-One might suggest for such an occasion First, fruit; second, a ceral; third, either salt fish or salt meat or eggs in any form, with hot bread of some kind: fourth, pancakes or waf- f1es or coffee cakes; fifth, coffee. This makes a very hearty meal, how ever. Most people would be well con- tent with fruit, cereal, eggs and but tered toast and coffee.
 WAITING TO BE RECOGNIZED ''1f a man recognizes a lady who does not seem to recognize him should he bow or speak to her first or simply treat her as a stranger?" (Answer) Unless a sufficient degree of inti- macy exists to justify the man in breaking the ordinary rules of con- vention in such cases the man always waits until the lady bows or speaks to him. Common sense should tell when an exception to this rule is per missable.
 AFTER THE DANCE-tIf 8 strange gentleman is introduced to a lady and dances with her at a party, though they never met before is she expected to recognize and bow to him if she meets him on the street some days later?" (Answer)-If man is good enough to be permitted to circle a woman's waist with his arm in a dance hall he certainly ought to be afterwards. The woman should be the first to express signs Of recogni- ton in such 8 case, however.

SAYS WOMEN ARE RUNNING HEALTH
 BY NEW FASHIONS

London, Jan. 12.-Cardina1 Annette few days ago, in a pastoral letter, denounced the abbreviated gar ments for women popularized by Partisan fashions. Father Bernard Vaughan, of London, who in the past has said many hard things of the fol- lies and extravagan of the rich has now, in an interview, followed the Cardinals example. He said:
 When I ask myself what is inspir- ing this tendency to nudity in wom- ems modern costume my answer is it cannot be a rightfu1 desire to pro- mote the health of our debutanIes because today's want of clothing IS sayageiy exposing them to consump- ton and it's kindred ailments. not by hundreds but thousands. So I am as sured by competent auth ority. Our girls who ought to live to a ripe old age droop, drop and die like flowers unfed by warmth and sunshine I'm properly fed and immodestly dressed they defy all laws of hygiene and down they go.
 ttNor can the object in prevailing fashions be a love of the true a11. the beautiful for never did fashions as they do today so grievously nlili- tate against the canonS of good taste and the laws of symetry.
 "I cannot but arrive at the concIu- sion that today's fashions are de- signed and not cut to drape the hu- man figure and keep it warm, beau tiful and comfortable, but on the con trary, it would seem that today's so called costumes are created with the set purpose of aws kening in man un- holy desires and perhaps of flaming into fever flame those already kindled
 How such conduct can be defend- ed it is impossible for me as q Chris tian man to conjecture. Personally feel quite sure that studied inmod- esty on the part of girls defeats it's own ends. A decent man who intends to marry a girl and make her the queen of his heart and the mistress of his home is not going to choose for his partner till death do them part a girl who has so little respect she does not even know how to c1othe herself in decency.''

Note the daring of a skirt which has a hem reaching about two-thirds of the length of the skirt and which yet disdains being any longer than this one? Will they? Yes, that is the question and most dealers answer in the affirmative. It is expected that skirts will be that short by spring. Dame Fashion, you see, is not blind to the spice of 1ife.''
 The skirt is of Copenhagen blue. At the top of it is row. of worsted. embroidery done in tan worst ed. Above this rises a yoke of tan. Upon it is a row of blue worsted em- broidery. Then comes the belt which is of tan and has two ends in back. They are tan, only so far as the yoke extends, however. When the skirt proper of blue begins then the sash ends turn blue also.
 The waist is of the light tan silk crepe, embroidered in tan and blue worsted. Note the two inverted p1eats extending from the shoulders to the waist line.
 The two loops upon the sleeve are fastened in such position that one falls front and the other back when the narrow cuff-1ike band about ths bottom of the sleeve are of blue.

restaurants, is solvent. There is no
need for a receiver.

ownership petition filed by attorneys

necessary to insure payment of debts
totaling near $1,000.

show his solvency and that the bills
in question were only 80 days old.
Judge Seaman Immediately threw
the case out of court. He attacked the
action brought by the two creditors.
