Take Heed of Warnings.

Now usually these first impress
sions arc based on something pretty
fundamental in our makeup and
our characters. The little warning
that we receive when we first meet
them ought TO stand us IN good
stead. II usually means that there
will hc possible danger ahead if we
and they try TO associate too close
ly. Il is warning that bids us
conduct ourselves with considerable
care when with these persons so as
not 10 cause any real antagonism
20 spring up. You would find that
almost always the women YOU are
once friendly with and then grow
distant TO are women who did not
make an entirely favorable impress
sion. But you were not warned by
this. You thought You could get
the upper hand.
All this is not advice 70 avoid the
persons whose first impression is
unfavorable. but TO be warned
thereby and so manage things that
this antipathy need never be known.

THE OXER-WORKED TEIE-
PHONE

Sometimes nowadays people
who have axes, TO grind think
TO take a short. cut TO the busy
man by calling him repeatedly by
telephone. This seldom does any
good, because IL the man is really
a busy man he is guarded from
such intrusion by his secretaries
and assistants.
When you are told repeatedly
that a man is "out" don't create
the bad impression that yo>l surely
will 81 you decide TO wait for him
20 come back" That is, unless the
one who has time enough 10 sit
about IN a busy mans outer office
always creates the impression of
being OF small Importance himself
if he has sufficient time TO waste In
that way.

Neu Ways With
Vanity Cases

rNERY week there Is. II seems,
some new and enticing way of
. concealing though one won
dcrs why there is an effort at con-
cealing anything so blatantly used
the vanity case.
The last thing seems to be a
little wristlet. consisting of rib
bon such as one used for Il wrist
watch. holding in place bit of an
artificial rose or pansy or other
Hover. This is worn over the
hiding place for the most diminu-
tive of powder puffs. 1t is truly
one of the daintiest bits OF pretti-
ness the shops have shown in 4
long time.
Then there are all the little bags
hiding powder puffs and mirrors
and rouge sticks in their folds.
Some of these are charming big
roses, some are lunches of arti-
ilcial flowers. They are carried by
Young girls at dances. Sometimes
The whole top of the bouquet opens
of on hinges To disclose n sizeable
receptacle containing the vanity
necessities. Sometimes the stems
of the bouquet separate to disclose
the opening of the bag.
Another odd bit of newness is
tho corsage flower which hides the
vanity set-lip stick. powder puff
and tiny mirror. These flowers
are used like any others for deco
ration hanging from the girdle,
fastened al the waist, or trailing
over the bodice. They are of the
finest quality. So that they may he
used for trimming any frock quite
.uitably.

There are most interesting

There Is a wonderful bird cage
containing a stuffed little bird that

that sways with every motion of

mouth opens and shuts in keeping

NOTE PAPER

Al this time. it is too late, of
course, 10 get note paper en-
grsyed, but IL is not too late 10
buy most interesting boxes and
cabinets of note paper. BE sure
20 get the sort of paper the re-
cipient likes. That is. don't buy
cOlored paper unless you are sure
she uses colored paper. Pure
white is always preferable TO a
color one doesn't like; and some
women have great aversion to
rtain colors in paper that others
IKE. White, therefore. is always
a safe choice.

shes n WONDERFUL Being, but One
often Meets Her.

NoN'T refer TO yourself as
"salcs-lady". No one talks
about cavalry gentlemen. or
N ,'llery-gentlemen or midship-
.sntlemen. and if your friend who
has enlisted did so refer 10 him
-alf YOU wouldn't think any more
&c his social position than of the
man who was simply a cavalryman
of artilleryman or midshipman.
thc fact is that the expression
"sales-lady" 10 n great many per
IONS sounds extremely cheap and
The sooner you cut IL from your
vocabulary the better.
There is a certain look of dis
gust mingled with boredom and
contempt that some saleswomen
confer on customers as they turn
90 30. That customer doesn't see
b.. hut the next one does and IL
produces decidedly unpleasant
ceiling and rather puts the next
customer into a reticent mood TO
begin with. And that of course
IS bad craftsmanship. So don't
pierce departing customers with
that look even though they have
been unreasonable and insulting
aud that is the only way you have

them.

With Leftover Meat.

Meat stock can be- made from
leftover meats and bones as well
as from fresh meat. although the
favor is never quite 50 good from
this sort OF stock as from the sort
derived from fresh meat. However.
the thrifty housewife always saves
the bones and remnants of roast
lamb and chicken 10 cook for stock.
This sort OF stock may bee used very
well II it is carefully seasoned and

Save Vegetable Water.

Almost every sort OF vegetable
water can be saved for soup stOc,z.
This means fresh cooked vegetables
as the water drained from canned
vegetables IS not suitable. Such
vegetable water as that drained
from carrots. spinach, onions. celery
or beets may be used as the founda-
tion of a cream soup. or these
vegetable waters may be mixed 60

soup that needs only a little tomato.

Then there IS the woman who
strikes you as commonplace. per-
haps even vulgar. You wonder how
your old friend could have been at
tracted 10 her How her taste
must have changed since she chose
you as a friend You watch this
woman, trying 10 discover some
thing that will atone for the super
dcial eoarseness. Her gestures and
way of talking annoy you. You
think that you are concealing this
feeling, bat the chances are that
YOU are not.
For the rest there are pleasant.
agreeable people enough. women
who do not impress you either as
being vulgar or snobbish. But those
who rub you the wrong way. you
are conscious of their presence all
the afternoon.
Now If you were TO compare
notes with some one else who had
met this same group of women for
the first time at the same occasion
you would probably find that her
was quite different.
True, she found some one a trihe
condescending, but IL was ono OF
the women whom you thought
cordial and gracious. True. there
was someone who seemed vulgar.
but il was not the woman you
found so.
