THE RIGHT THING
at the
RIGHT TIME
BINARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
TELEGRAM ETTQUET

Let no act be done at haphazard.-
Marcus AureliuS.
4 TELEGRAPHED message is al
: : ways more formal and more
courteous than telephoned one. For
instance, on the occasion of any joyous
occasion-a birth in a friends family,
the announcement Of an engagement, a
wedding, or birthday anniversary-it
is always courteous to telegraph your
congratulations, whereas you would
telephone your message only where
you were extremely well acquainted
The telegram is regarded as a perfect
ly proper means of conveying CON
dolence following the death In the
family Of a friend or acquaintance.
And, of course, such message of SYM
pathy should never be conveyed by a
telephone message. When sending
such kilograms it is best to indicate
that you wish to have them delivered
by messenger rather than by tele-
phone.
So usual is it for us in sending bust
ness kilograms to bear in mind that
we have a ten-word limit for the min
imum fee that we are prone to attempt
to force social kilograms into this ten
word limit, or else we pad them out
so that we will make use Of all the
words to which we are entitled. Often
your message is best expressed in only
two or three words. Sometimes the
single word Congratulations is all
that is required. Then it would be de-
cidedly in bad judgment to use more
Needless to say, we dispense with
formal introductions and conclusions
even in the social telegram. Thus we
do not begin with 'My DEAR or
dear" nor do we use such express
sions as Sincerely" or truly yours,
even when sending a formal message.
Always remember that there is nothing
private about a telegram and that no
message should be sent over the wire
that you are not willing to have re-
ceived by others than the one for
whom it is intended. Usually a tele-
gram is urgent in it's nature and men,
bers of family would open one when
addressed to an absent member. Sim
ilarly telegram sent to a persons
business address and received during
his absence would be opened by the
one who received it.

CLARA, it may be readily surmised
~ by anyone familiar with Latin, is
derived from the adjective meaning
bright, clear or famous. AS a musical
and ever-charming feminine name it
has. kept its significance, though the
steps of its history are many and de
vious.
The Romans used the name Clarus
as a masculine name and its vogue
spread in Europe st. Clarus is revered
as the first Bishop of Nantes in Brit
tany in A. D., $50 Another Ctarus, a
native of Rochester, was a hermit near
Rouen who was murdered at the insti-
cation of a wicked woman who had
vainly paid her addresses to him. The
name was then changed to Clair and,
combined with a Saint, named TWO
of the most noted families in the his
tory of Great Britain, besides the vari-
Gus "de St Glars" of France. In
Britain it was speedily contracted to
Sinclair, and subsequently as Clare,
named the County Clare of Ireland, a
tract of land presented by Edward l
as a wedding present to the son of the
famous Red de Clare.
Spanish lore has it that the first
Clara known to history was the daugh-
ter Of Charlemagne, but the real origin
seems to have been in Italy where the

TO KNOW IF IT is GALL
WOOL"

When you go to buy Woolen ma
teriaI, there are many pitfalls you
have to learn to avoid 1t is quite
true that most of US cannot afford to
buy our cloth made up of all new
wool, but at least we want to be able
to tell when a cloth is made up of
cotton and wool mixed, or all new
wool
The peculiar felting quality of wool
makes it possible to conceal large
amount of cotton in its fibers. Now
this may not always be any great dis
advantage, and it is certainly more
desirable to buy a good, firm piece of
part-wool dress goods, when the price
Is right, than cheap, inferior grade,
even if it is sail WOOL" A cardinal
point every shopper needs to fix in
her mind is that "all wool'ais not nee
essarily good WOOL
Perhaps the greatest objection to
mixture of wool and cotton is the I'M
even shrinkage of the two, which
makes it hard to keep the garment
well-pressed and in shape. Often it
is the presence of cotton that causes
a wool skirt tC be baggy at the knees
and to sag at the back and sides,
wherever there are long seams.
Then, too, a large percentage OF
cotton is likely to give trouble with
the dyes This would not apply to
white woolens, of course, but in col
ored goods, especially those of very
dark coors, the cotton may not hold
the dye well. AS you know, all dark
colors tend to be fugitive on cotton.
It is perfectly possible to determine
to your own satisfaction whether there
Is cotton in a wool sample. Pull out
some of the threads and burn them.
A cotton thread burns much more
quickly than a wool one, and with
more flame; wool chars, leaves a crisp
ash, and smells like burnt feathers
SO the one that has the worst smell
contains the most wool
The most accurate tests, of course
are the chemical ones, and the house
wife does not have equipment for try
ing these. But there is one, and the
very best one at that, which any one
can try. Take a little caustic soda
or potash, and dissolve in 2 pint of
water Boil your sample of cloriy in
this solution. 1t will dissolve any
wool, but leave the cotton unchanged.
If your sample is all wool it will be
entirely dissolved!
