MUST GATHER THE
PEOPLE THAT "MIX''
Dinner Hostess Well KnosUs
What That Means.

The feelings Of a hostess at a dinner
party are much the same as those OF
a theatrical producer on the first night
IA blend of hope and despair, Of in
Eward excitement and outward calm. In
Van inexperienced hostess this state OF
mind may continue throughout the eve
ming; but an experienced woman can
tell within the first ten minutes wheth-
er the party is going to be a success
or not, Jan Sruther comments sasely
in the Washington Post.
While the producer-lucky man-has
many subsequent nights on which, IL
necessary, to improve the play, the
hostesS-poOr wOman-haS no such
chance; hers is a single performance,
and it must stand or fall on it's first
merits. Oh, the Joy, If she can say to
herself: ut Is going to 90 Il"
The wretchedness which she endures
If she suddenly feels: 1T isn't; these
people won't mix, >"
These people won't mix" Is, of
course, the root of the trouble. Far
more dinner parties have been spoilt
by uRwise invitations than by ILL
chosen food. Better, in fact, poached
egg on toast where good company ID
than stuffed Quails and boredom withal.
And good company" does not mean q
company containing only interesting
takers, for then there will be no
body left to listen; nor must 1t con-
sist entirely Of witty people, for then
there will be nobody left to laugh.
It is all q question Of careful COM
position. The hostess who prides her
self on being able to draw up per-
feet menu, neither too long nor too
short, with dishes delicately contrast
ing, ought to spend even more time and
trouble in drawing up her human
menu, in which each guest will have
a definite place, and will fill it to per-
lection.
This is not cannibalism, but common
sense, for different people bear strong
resemblance to different foods. There
are some like roast mutton or apple
dumplings-hearty and healthy, but
filing at the price. There are some
like roast haef-eytpl! ent on Sundays.
but rather out of place on any other
day of the week. There are some
like curry-these generally have lived
a long time in New York; and others
like very thin consomme. almost too
refined to be- satisfying.
Then there are the deviled-anchovy
people; beware of them, for they bite
when you least expect it; and the
strawberry-ice people, sweet, yet frisid.
all very well at dances, but unfriendlv

Millionaire Collectors

Charles Dana Gibson said at a
luncheon in New York:
"DO our millionaire collectors en-
joy their collections? Does the owner
OF priceless Keats photographs pore
over them rs some attic poet would?
"A millionaire invited. me to dine
at his white palace in Fifth avenue
the other night. After dinner he led
me to his picture gallery, pointed to
a splendid painting and said:
"I want you to tell me whether
that's a Renofr or Renault. You
see, I was over in France last month,
and + bought some pictures and some
autos, and I've kind Of got the names
twisted"

Is cents per thousand capital, five to
six thousand dollars per annum would
be realized.
The Agricultural Committee Of the
Oklahoma Bankers Association, in its
report. recommends that the bankers
see that competent agent Is appoint

some work along that line.

Do Not Run Motor With
Battery Out of Place

Never run the engine with the stor-
age battery out of the car or discon-
nected, unless you first see to it that
the generator is rendered imperative.
Whenever the generator is being
driven by the engine it is delivering
current to the battery, but If the bat
terry is not in the circuit 1t is not hard
to understand that the generator will
build up a voltage which will very
soon damage or burn out the windings,
to say nothing Of what It might do to
the commutator and brushes.
Even if the battery Is. detective and
will not charge, it should be left con-
nected to the electrical system until
1t is replaced by another battery; that
is, If the engine is to be run in the
meantime Or, If no substitute bat
terry is obtainable for use during the
time the other battery Is undergoing
repair, the car can be run without
fear of damage to the generator If
the field winding is disconnected. In
some cases the generator. is OF the
type having thermostatic control, and
this requires the short circulting Of
the generator. usually across the ter
minals-Motor Life.

Why One Cannot See So
Well in Glaring Light

An observant chauffeur, passing an
automobile with glaring headlights.
noted that objects at the side of the
road which had been distinctively Wis
ible dropped out of sight when the
bright lights were thrown upon them.
Since one can see better in little
light than in no light, he wondered,
why can one not see better In bright
light than in moderate light?
The answer Is, paradoxically, that
the less light there Is the better one
Sees for the brighter the object the
less efficient is the eyesight. If, after
we have been In darkness, we sudden
ly turn on bright light and look at
our eyes In the mirror, we can see
the pupil of the eye rapidly growing
smaller. If we reduce the light the
pupil dilates again. What happens
is the same as In the camera when we
adjust the shutter to the intensity of
the light.
The colored iris of the eye CORE
spends to the shutter. 1t consists
chiefly of a muscle which, as the light
increases, is stimulated to contract,
thus drawing the curtain and shutting
out some of the superfluous light. 1t
usually takes few seconds for this
adjustment to take place. Thus when
we emerge from darkness into light
we are blinded until the iris can shut
out some of the light from the eyes.
