THE RIGHT THING
AT
THE RIGHT TIME
WHEN TO GO HOME.
By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE


And often took leave. but was 10th to
depart.-Prior.
TIME is money to most of us, in
one way or another. Yet many
of us forget TO go homeland so
waste 4 lot of somebody else's money.
In the guise of time.
Were you ever in this position? The
maid had gone out for Thursday after
noon, or else there was no maid. A
guest was coming at half-past six.
The dinner was partly prepared
thanks to your desire to be ready for
emergencies. At half-past five ia
would be time to put the meat in the
oven, and at six the vegetables must
go on. You must In the meantime
dress yourself, and perhaps put child
TO bed, or else help an older one to
dress. A neighbor called at half
past four. You looked thankfully ut
the clock, realizing that she could not
stay long enough to harm your din
ner. But she stayed.
At five you began to be nervous,
thinking OF the things yet 10 be done.
At half-past five, making some excuse
about hearing a knock at the kichen
door, you scurried out to the kitchen
and put In the meat. Then you sat In
agony, waiting for the caller to take
her departure. and when she did, about
six, you madly dashed down again to
whip the cream for the dessert and
mix the salad and air the dining room,
and heat the soup, and set the table,
and put things to rights in the living
room, and light the lights and do the
dozen of last-minute things that ought
TO have been done in the last hour
not in the last minute.
Most of US have been in some such
predicament. and, remembering this.
it behOoves us to, remember to 90
home before we have worn out our
welcome
This is just one of the occasions
when a guest should make an early de-
parture. There are many others.
A caller on sick person should al
ways make short call, unless by
staying for n longer. specified time.
she can relieve the nurse.
When guests are expected, a caller
should always take her departure
promptly. If unexpected callers ar
rive. the first Corners should go be-
fore many minutes have passed.
II there is Illness In the house. a
caller should not keep the members
of the household very long. Even If
they are not bearing the duties of
nurse, they probably have many calls
on their time.
If your hostess is going out later in
the afternoon-if you have found out
this to be the case In some chance
manner-you should not keep her in,
even if she protests that she is in no
hurry.
Put yourself in the place of the
hostess on all occasions when you
are wondering whether or not It is.
time to go home.

CLOSEUP OF MARS

OF course, no really sane per-

chooses SO to do. Simply because
a thing has never been done has
ceased to be valid reason for at
frnling that it cannot be done.

OFFICIAL ADVISER

Forces From 100000

BURDEN TOO GREAT
Agrees With Hughes on the
Question of Submarines as

Italy's attitude on the important

before the national council for the

ITALY is animated" said Signor
Gentle. by an idealistic spirit and
is imbued with a democratic faith
in the consideration of all the in
ternational questions at this con-
ference.
Has Reduced Her Army.
ITALY has brought to this confer
ence practical experience on the
subject of land disarmament. We
know that nations can reduce their
armies because ours has been sue
cessfully reduced from 5000, 900 70
5000 men, and we propose now
to reduce it to $4,000. including
our $4,000 police.
IF the great powers disarm
wholly, Italy would be glad to dc
so. We knew that we could not
recover from the war IL we taxed
ourselves for great armies; we
know that none OF the nations OF
Europe can recover while IL bears
| such a burden.
AS to the question OF subma-
rines. Italy agrees with Secretary
| Hughes, they are the weapon OF
small nations, and their use for de
Tense should be permitted undei
