Who Pays
the Carfare?
FIvE-CENT street-car fare

a FIVE-CENT street-car fare
"a is such very small con-
= sideration that IL is rather
silly to quarrel over IL. Strictly
speaking. of course a man ought
not to pay woman's fare unless
he is actually escorting her. but as
a matter of convenience the
thoughtful man will often attend
to this matter and a woman shows
bad taste to do anything more
than offer to reimburse him for 1t.
So, even though a young man
is escorting a young woman to a
dance or entertainment at her
own invitation-as frequently hap
pens nowadays with young girls
who belong to fraternities and
clubs--he pay any street-car fares
incidental to the trip. But in case
the trip. requires railroad fare or
In case the young woman wishes
to go In a taxi or carriage the
young man should feel no embar-
rassment IL the young woman In
sists that she or her family should
bear these expenses. The taxi
may be ordered from her house
beforehand or the tickets may
have been secured for herself and
her chaperone-if she is accom-
panied by one-and given to the
young man as a matter of course.
Especially when young woman
of means is accompanied by a
young man still struggling for
success in the world this is the
usual convention.
In formal society it is not un-
usual in all circumstances for a
young woman's family to pay car
riage fares even when she Is in
vited by the young man. Like
wise il a young woman has her
own car or one of her family's at
her disposal 1t is natural that she
or her mother should ask the es-
cort to take a seat with them in
their conveyance when going to
any party or place of entertain
ment.

AS to a Waitress

LORE and more women who
M work as hotel and restau-
AsA rant mattresses are coming
TO regard themselves as persons
possessing a specialized training.
And il Is Just as important for
those. whom they serve to treat
them with the respect and eonsid-
Grafton due them as IL Is to treat
respectfully ones doctor or den
tist.
In where manners are
more democratic in many respects
than our own--it Is customary TO
address mattresses as Mademoi-
selle", the nearest English equiva-
lent of which would be our Miss.
Unfortunately we have no word
that exactly takes the place OF the
French mademoiselie In this place.
Certainly we would not correctly
call waitress Miss. That word
Is never used by itself as a term
of address correctly. In England
it is the custom to address domes-
tics-and mattresses would come
in the same class thereby their
last names rather than by their
first names, so if you were waited
on by young woman whose name
you knew to be Maggie Jones you
would call her Jones. Maggie
would be mark of too great
familiarity. Here among most
persons it would be more custom
AIRY to use the first name than the
last, but usually we would not find
occasion to learn the name OF a
waitress whom we encountered
only occasionally at restaurant
or hotel.
However, we should follow the
French rule of politeness to the
extent of remembering a please"
with every request we make of the
waitress. II you wish something
with which you are not provided
II is better to say: ''Wili you
please get me a glass of water" or
Il would like another fork,
please" rather than May l have
some water or May I have an
other fork" As a matter of fact
you know you may have these
things what we really want 10
convey is the wish that the wait
ress would provide them for US.
IL you wish to attract the atten-
ton of the waitress who has
waited on you when she Is attend
ing to some one else's order, do
not attempt TO do so by swapping
the finger at her or by beckoning
to her. If you have trouble in
catching her eye il is permissible
to raise the hand slightly. To call
out to her your order is mex
eusable. Wait till she comes to
you and then give her your re-
quest in a subdued voice but not
in a whisper.

Wedding Invitations

~oNCERNING wedding invita-
4 tions, there are always numer-
Gus queries. but the best thing
you can do in that matter IS 70 80
to a thoroughly reliable engraver
and ask, his expert aid. The size
and grade Of the sheets for the en-
graved invitations change from year
TO year, and these differences are
best understood by the men who
are engaged In the business OF pro-
viding them.
In settling many other questions
the best thing to do Is 10 observe
the customs that prevailed az the
weddings OF your friends and other
people in your circle. what would
be a smart and formal wedding IN
one section OF the country might
seem extremely affected in another.
And after ali no one wants 10 adopt
a new mode till it has at least been
softened by local age. To make
oneself conspicuous in the cause %
a new fashion Is always ridiculous.

-HE cheapness of cabbage COM
pared with many other yege-
= tables is something that rec
ommends it to many but likewise
this very cheapness seems to have
made some housewives devote
little attention to cabbage. They
seem to think that, Just because
4 il is inexpensive, il lacks posi-
hilities of flavor. and that it isn't
quite worth much attention.
One advantage of cabbage Is
that IL keeps fresh for some time.
Thus, If you must order on Friday
for vegetables to eat Monday or
| Tuesday you hesitate wisely In
Ibuying corn or beans as they dry
and deteriorate. But a fresh cab
hage kept in a cool place VIII re-
main fresh for many days.
Don't make the mistake of cook
ing cabbage too long. The water
should be boiling actively when
the cabbage is put in the kettle
and it should continue to boil rap
idly with the cover off the kettle
for half an hour, or until tender,
IL should then be removed at once

lit is a great mistake to think that
cooking cabbage a long time will
make il more digestible. AS a
matter of fact. II is long cooked
lcabbage that has brought cabbage
its bad reputation. When cooked
luuickly in actively boiling water
Int seldom causes any difficulty, and
lis really wholesome. II should
be left uncovered while boiling.

then laid in a baking dish with a
cream sauce poured over IT and
covered with bread crumbs and
topped with grated cheese makes
an excellent dish. Many persons
think that IL tastes more like

~ EALLY we have not swung
K far from the cradle of civil
ization, the East. When we
are not CarthaEinian, we are
maids of Athens. The Grecian
points, the hipline accentnated
with its girdle of flowers and me-
tHllic belts. are features of fashion
far removed from the Hrtlflciality
of the Spanish of the seventeenth
century.
Every woman knows with what
perturbation the news of the full.
long skirt was received. Tho
American had featured the long
tight skirt until the tidal wave of
short skirts inundated the conti-
nent. but never has she liked the
kind which Ia both long and full.
She knew IL aged her. The ques-
tion now is whether wa have
skipped this type which has been
worn over here I'm Paris through
the summer. but which Ia giving
way to this new type which Ia only
slightly full. even though 1t
touches the instep.
In Deauville. the skirts worn
by the extremists were five and
six yards In width, finished with
the balayeuse of muslin, but the
collections of dressmakers feature
such skirts selddm, pressing tho
emphasis upon an instep skirt that
hangs close to the figure without
any attempt at n circular effect.
Here and there are frocks, espe-
cially at the house of Patou, which
give the popular circularity by
the insertion of wide godet flares
at each side and the same device
for giving width is used with his
new coats.
No Compromise in Coats.
Patou's tailored suits are pleas
| ing to Americans so they should
accent the style for jackets that
reach the knees. Fortunately for
our figures the skirts below them
are sufficiently short and narrow
to keep the silhouette slim. The
surface is brilliantly worked over
with wide bands that take on a
resemblance to lightning. In truth
one of his most brilliant gowns
carries the name of storm, SO
the designer has actually taken
his new trimming from this
source, his imagination supplying
the lightning rod that carried the
sky designs to the cloth.
Patou. like the other designers
| in Paris, excepting Chanel and
Rolande, is begging women TO de-
sist from black which has turned
modern society into an imitation
of a procession of funeral mutes.
He has taken more than the
lightning design from the sky.
Sunset and sunrise have inspired
him and he dips into brilliant red
with the hand of one who Is un-
afraid. He has gown of this new
red velvet embroidered in jewels
and silver threads which Juliet
might have worn.
1t is In the coats of this house
and of Molyneux, Bernard, Douil-
let and others who adapt their
| lines to the American figures that
one finds no compromise between
the hip length jacket and one that
reaches to the knees or trifie
below. The short flaring fur coat,
or one of cloth banded in fur, Is
as smart as 1t was three years ago
and the long one must flare from
the hips or not exist. Other forms
of coats are tabu. Top coats to
wear over frocks are wide and do
not curve In at the hem as they
have done. Dyed Persian lamb
and lynx, sometimes bright green
