that those conversing should show
each other Not always si il con-
yenient for the person called to
answer at length. Therefore it is
advisable for the person calling to
be sure she is not making an un-
timely Interruption. The giving of
the actual message is, of course,
further conversation it is in good
taste TO ask Are you free, or had
| better call you later?" This gives
opportunity for graceful with
drawal. or continuing of the theme
az the case may be.
Keep Kindly Tone.
Without such opportunity. one or
the other may take offense at a
seeming abruptness which is forced
athcr than Intentional. OF course,
one should guard against giving this
impression, even when it is neces-
sary to ring off hastily. That which,
in personal interviews, cordial
smile or handshake would convey is
LETT entirely to the voice and intona-
ton over the phone. How abrupt
aome voices seem to be. An abrupt
ness never leaves one with very
nice taste in the mouth" Gracious
ness costs little and means much,

Party Line COurteSies.
No one on Il party line = to
have any one else cut in" Inpleas-
ant AS it may be. there is yet the
chance that il is unintentional or the
.ase of emergency-that taxi for the
train which will not wait for phone
conversations, phone call by ap-
pointment for a certain time or pos
sibly the doctor. On the other hand,
the person cutting in should make
his requests, if any, with the great
aSl courtesy, inaSmuCh as it is he or
she who is asking, not granting. the
favor OF the wire. To unduly prolong
il conversation when such a request
is made in the. right way is much
like slamminG the door in some one
vlse'S face.
Who Ends Conversations:
Usually it is for the one calling UP
to end the conversation, just as il Is
for the guest to end social cali.
Eut when a gentleman and a lady
are talking over the phone the lady
closes the conversation.
Some very funny. and sometimes
mistakes have been
made by depending on the recog
milton of voice. "Oh. is that you?"
is not a very reliable phrase over
the phone, ard yet great many peo-
pie use it.
Hang Up Receiver.
\ lady who wished to silence the
ringing Of her telephone did so quite
effectively by removing the receiver.
Too effectively. for in so doing she
si!enccd all the other numbers on
the wire. without realizing she was
in any way interfering with their
seryi.t. Being a person of great
l.iudlincss. she was quite Mortified
af,erward to learn that this had been
the case.

glimpse at its history to learn that il
was once a dignified and important
thoroughfare of old New York.
For 200 years the Bowery was the
place where everything happened. In the
early seventeenth century it was the
center of New York, then it became the
market center, and as. hte city grew

said Reddy Fox as he prepared to
start out hunting early one evening.
Mrs. Reddy, who also was preparing
to start out hunting, looked up quick

tite for chickens Will get US in trou-
BILE sooner or later. You had chicken
night before last. and two nights be-
fore that Keep away from those
chickens for IA while
But chicken does taste so good"
said Reddy, with a sigh. "A plump
chicken is worth running a little risk
for once in a while. l don't believe
one chicken will be missed from
among SO many"
perhaps one wouldn't be, but YOU
have already taken several. And you
needn't try to tell me that they
haven't been missed" retorted Mrs.
Eeddy. IF you've got any sense at
all you will keep away from those
chickens until that farmer has had
time to forget those he has lost"
i suppose you are right, my dear.
You usually are" replied Reddy, and
sighed again. I'm see if l can find
some mice tonight"
So Reddy went in one direction and
Mrs. Reddy went in another to hunt
for mice. But Reddy had no luck at

catching single mouse. Two or three
times he almost caught one but each

part of the day extra care and
caution should be used in order to
avoid misunderstanding and curb
deception in business affairs. In the
evening the vibrations are excellent
and tend to create an optimism
which will largely contribute to the
success of any enterprise that you
may have in hand. 1t will also foster
romanticiSm and the question that
YOU have delayed so long in asking
of the one in whom you are most
interested may now be put jn full
assurance of d favorable reply.
A child born today will be healthy
robust and comparatively free from
the weaknesses and ailments of in
fanCy and childhood. 1t will be self
reliant. authorita tive, determined and
perseyering. 1t will have great ex-
ccutive ability and spare no pains in
accomplishing its desires. 1t will
like to read good books and be fond
Of travel Its aims will be. in the
main, high and noble, and it will
enjoy the respect and esteem of all
with whom it is acquainted.
If today is your birthday, YOU are
salf- confident, forccful and deter
mined. somewhat quiet and reserved,
hut full OF fun. You have we'll
balanced, discriminating mind, much
executive ability. and people cener-
ally follow your lead. You are
clean minded and lovabie, affection
ate in your home, and always look
ing for an opportunity to add to the
happiness of your loved ones.
Notwithstanding your self-reliance
and courageous determination, you
have not achieved that material sue
cess which has distinguished others
less gifted than yourself. This is
largely due to the fact that your
impulses will not allow you to take
advantage of others misfortunes or
troubles and TO an excessive conf
whom YOU are brought in contact.
Shrewdness, which is a word often
employed to camouflage dishonesty
and trickery, forms no part Of your
mental equipment and you are AS
honest as the day is long"

Fdrorife Recipes Of
Prominent Women
Date Pudding.
BY EDNA NJ. COLMAN.
Mrs. Elizabeth Preston Anderson of
North Dakota.

Mrs. Anderson. president of the Da-
kota w. c. T. L. and the recording
secretary of the National w. c. T. L.
has attained national renown for her
tireless work in behalf of constitutional
prohibition. She made this cause her
mission in 1889. and gave to it unceas-
ing and continuous labor until the
amendment was passed.
Born at Decatur, Ind, the daughter
Of Rev. E!am S. Preston. pioneer
Methodist minister. and Mrs. Maria
Shepley Preston. the latter of Maine
with colonial and Quaker ancestry, it
was but natural that upon the compile
ton of her studies in Fort Wayne Col
lege. Depauw University and the Uni
versity of Minnesota she should turn
her attention to evangelistic work. 1t
was also most natural that she should
marry in the ministry. becoming the
wife Of Rev. James Anderson of the
North Dakota Conference of the NJ L
Church.
Mrs. Anderson has represented the
w. c. T. L. at almost every session of
the State Legislature since statehood
was attained. and her zeal has been
recognized and appreciated by the
women of her State and organization in
the gift of the life size oil portrait
VI llf'l tt tiIt Stdtc dpltol AT bismarck.
Lucky b yond the average, she has lived
to receive her tributes and enjoy her
honors.
She is the author of the suffrage law
which passed the legislative assembly in
1917. Her life has been colorful and
splced with adventure. even danger at
times, and always with the multiplicity
of duties that fall to the hands of the
homemaker She has not neglected her
home life in the many activities that
claim her attention in both civic and
religious endeayor. and passes along her
own special idea of a delicious pudding:
