WHEAT HAS SETBACK;
CORN PRICE RALLIES
Better Weather in Canada Cause of

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October 17.-Wheat
prices averaged lower today owing

of the United States visible supply, as
we'll as better weather in Canada.
Export demand was only fair, total
sales of North American wheat to Eu-
rope today being estimated at 500 900
bushels. Corn rallied on buying
against wheat sales and as a result
of assertions that 35 cents decline of
late in corn has discounted all bearish
conditions.
Selling pressure on wheat from
houses with connections in the North
west became much in evidence al
times today. emphasizing news that
Canadian thrashing conditions were
improved. Advices received here said
thrashing had been resumed in all
provinces. On the other hand, world
exports for the week were announced
as only 1867 900 bushels compared
with 16,953,000 bushels the week pre-
Vious.
Disregard of frost developments
continued to be shown today by corn
traders. Much more notice was taken
or reports of increased yield. Some
reports said that as much as 10

WHAT THE GRACIOUS
HOSTESS SAYS:
By DELLA THOMPSON LUDEs
WHEN CALLING

THERE are certain fundamental
Il rules which, observed, will make
the brief visit thing to be remem-
bered pleasantly by the hostess. and
incite her to desire, perhaps, for fur
Their interchange of courtesies.
Do not gush or make a fuss over
your hostess. Be courteous, affable,
pleasant, and show her by your visit
that you are glad Of her acquaintance.
Do not wriggle or twist about on
your chair. Sit evenly and quietly,
without crossing and increasing your
knees half dozen times. Do not Cos
sip or talk too much about your own
affairs. If there are several persons
in room, do not buttonhole one and
carry on private conversation. Talk
generally, quietly and with what in
terest you can.
Do not attempt to kiss your hostess
unless she makes the advance Women
of good breeding do not often kiss each
other in public. 1t is pretty custom,
held in check, but greatly abused.
Neither should one be promiscuous
with other manifestations of affection,
such as holding another by the elbow,
hugging or paving" in any way. One
can show affection in other ways than
by public demonstration. And as for
the utterly unbridled, senseless and
meaningless parade of expressions of
affection like sweetheart" 'love,"
darling" and similar words, the eff
feet to one who really cares for words
is nauseating. The too-familiar clerk
who calls you "dearie," and the wom-
an who doesn't care any more about
you than she does for forty others and
still calls you sweetheart" are on
level. Words and hands should keep
their places, and then, when they do
steal away to pleasured uses, they will
mean something, which is what they
do not do, used promiscuously.
When the time comes to go, get up
easily. Shake hands with your host
ess, make some pleasant remark-and
go. The people who are always talk
ing about going and are the last to
leave, are dreadful bores.
"Stand not upon the order of your
going-but go at once" is motto that
many hostess would be glad to have
framed and hung over her door.
Never overstay. 1t is better to have
your hostess wish you had stayed
longer than have her regret that you
stayed so long.
If there are any elderly people In
the room pay them special Difference.
If there are very young people, treat
them as If they were grown up. Give
them a word or two of real converse
ton, and do not stalk down" to them.
They hate 1t.
If a caller arrives before you, as
hostess, are dressed for the afternoon,
receive her in the dress you have on
rather than keep her waiting.

WHEN I WAS
TWENTY-ONE
BY JOSEPH KAYE

At 21-Donn Barber, Famous Archl-
tect, Had Not Yet Started Learning
His Trade.
Sc a T THE age Of twenty-one was
4 at Yale, from where 1 grad.
uated year later. 1 wanted to be
an illustrator or painter but my father
out-argued me on that point. That
was in 1893, the year of the worlds
fair In Chicago. 1 had friend out
there who invited me to visit him and
L went, intending to stay a week and
then come home and look for a Job.
THE whole scheme and the build
ings Of the fair fascinated me so much
that I stayed month, studying them
and asking questions about them, and
when 1 came back East 1 knew what
/ was going to be. I found posi-
ton with distinguished New York
architects. But found / was not even
the beginnings of an architect, but an
office boy.-Donn Barber"
Mr.. Barber, one Of this country's
greatest architects, won nine medals
at the Ecole DIES Beaux Arts In Paris,
where he went to study upon the adj
vice of his employers, and when he
came back he began a distinguished
career. Many of the famous build
ings in the United States were erected
by him, including the beautiful Con-
necticut State Library and Supreme
Court. 1t was he also who built the
demonstration residence for the Bet
ter Homes in America campaign, and
which was erected In Washington,
back Of the Treasury building. This
home was modelled after the pattern
of the original John Howard Payne
cottage, a very handsome structure,
containing seven rooms and two
baths, and costing only $4,000.

black satin or heavy georgette Some
are self-trimmed in scallops, points
and clever semi-tailored effects, others
are alluringly trimmed in black chan
lilly lace. One arresting model dis
plays an extremely decollete and
sleeveless yoke Of the lace, with a
matching band of lace bordering both
the hemline of the blouse and the
trousers.
The new "nighties" are exquisitely
dainty. Quantities of footing add to
their prettiness, the same being ruff
fled about the neckline and sleeveless
armholes, also frequently finishing
the hemline. The model in the picture
can easily and economically be made.
Pastel-colored wolfe is favorite
fabric for dainty lingerie. An orange
colored wolfe gown, patterned as is the
one in the picture, using deep butter
colored lace for trimming, need cost
but trifle if deft fingers and willing
mind please to undertake its making.
The hem edge would add to the attrac-
tiveness if scalloped and lace-edged.
A census Of late winter and
early spring gowns and wraps records
as many with as without fur trim
ming. The question, therefore, Is
not so much as to whether fur will
or will not be used to adorn milady's
apparel, for its vogue is already as
sured for the coming season. What
kinds Of fur does the mode approve,
this is the real style issue. The an
swer is brief and to the point-chief-
ly fiat furs. Unique, youthful and
wonderfully decorative is the popular

Il wouldn't call it a party if such
a thing happened to me. can eat all
l want to eat.
Then 1 call it party when swim.
Swimming is such fun. l swim so
easily for my nice, generous-sized
webbed feet can help get me through
the water mighty quickly.
Pm like a person who hurries out
to the market before everything gets
snapped up and am even superior &c
such person for would hurry along
so fast that nay market couldn't get
away from me! l call mealtime a
splendid party.
"Then when we have a nice island
home l call it a party home for so
many of us make home together. We
live in big colonies, you may know or
you may not know. And in case you
do not know 1 am telling you. If you
do know hope you won't mind hear
ing this again.
Il call 1t a party when we decide
we'd like to travel and settle for
awhile somewhere else. We aren't so
full Of local pride that we won't see
the whole world If we so wish 1t.
Eat least we will go a-traveling and
lots Of us will suddenly decide upon
it and we will be off, going toward
what we have decided will be our new
home. But at the present moment l
am sleepy and every good pelican
sleeps after eating. I've had a good
meal just recently. Yes, must sleep
for all the other pelicans are now
asleep. / call an after-meal sleep a
pelican party, too!'
