How to Make a Rose Jar

Rose jars are in fashion again
and garden roses bloom in profusion
so this is the time to be thinking of
making a jar.
Gather the rose petals before the
sun is high and spread them out on
a table in the shade. Place in half
inch layers in covered dish, sprink-
ling each layer with salt. Add petals
day by day until they measure two
quarts when pressed down solid. Stir
thoroughly every morning.
Ten days after the last addition
has been made mix together one
fourth ounce each of ground mace,
Glove and allspice, one-half ounce of
ground cinnamon, two ounces of pow
dered orris root and one-fourth pound
of dried lavender flowers.
Fill the rose jar with alternate
layers of rose petals and the spice
mixture and sprinkle on each layer
of petals few drops of any pre-
ferred essential oil, such as rose, Bit
ter almond, geranium or orange flow
err. Over the whole pour one ounce
of any good toilet water or CO.
logne.
Various sweet blossoms or frag-
rant leaves may be added from time
to time, such as heliotrope, lemon
verbena, rose or lemon geranium,
mignonette and others.

Gas Industry Works
To Secure Share Of
Industrial Heating

By working closely with Ameri-
can manufacturers in solving prob
lens of heat application in factories,
the gas industry is showing its am
bition and foresightedness, accord
ing to Alexander B. Macbeth, Presi-
dent of the American Gas Associa-
ton. The Association now has un-
derway a 100000 research fund to
develop suitable gas-fired appli-
ances for industrial and factory use,
and is also further cooperating with
factory men by offering to help
them in the solution of any prob
lens of fuel utilization.
Factory owners and operators in
this country are foremost in the
study of factors governing improve
ment of product and reduction of
COSTS" says Mr.. Macbeth. 1.-THE fuel
with qualities of flexibility, adapt
ability, and economy of labor is the
one that makes the strongest appeal.
"Gas fuel, either manufactured or
natural, is the sole fuel that offers
these advantages, together with an
unfailing and adequate supply"
Development work now underway
with the research programs of the
American Gas Association is going
to enhance the value of gas still fur
Their, Mr.. Macbeth claims. In reality
the manufacturer will have placed
at his disposal the findings of the
entire industry. ss
"a comparison of two years ac-
tivity by local gas company on the
Pacific Coast shows what can be
done," Mr.. Macbeth continues. Con

Success in the art of being a guest
depends more upon the spirit in
which one accepts of entertainment
than upon the entertainment
offered. Just as the host and hos
tess, in sending out an invitation, OBJ
iigate themselves to make everything
as enjoyable as possible for their
guest, so guest, IL accepting, OBJ
ligates himself or herself to meet the
efforts of the host and hostess at
least half way.
After having once accepted the in
vitation to formal dinner, only
death or mortal illness should pre-
vent attendance. A formal dinner
is one of the most solemn obligations
of society.
One may attend a formal recep-
ton and not remain more than
twenty minutes, if one wishes to be
prompt. The round of social duty
there is brief. A lady removes her
wrap, but not her hat or gloves, in
the dressing room, and thence goes
directly to the reception room. The
guest should first greet the host and
hostess, briefly, if the reception is
ldISc ana Tie llOW VI lilCOInlTS
guests constant, then pass to the
room where the refreshments are
served. After partaking of these,
the guest may leave without bidding
adieu to the host and hostess, unless
the reception is small and they are
to speak a second time with the
guest.
If presents are given, it should be
done without ostentation. The tact
full, quiet way of doing it, free from
patronage and showing only good
will and appreciation, is the only
polite way.
A gentleman guest dances first
with the lady he escorts or with the
daughters of the hostess, or with the
hostess herself; afterwards he may
choose for himself, always remem-
bering that he should assist his hos
tess in making the evening a pleasur-
able one for all. If man is de-
layed in claiming a lady for the

promised dance, he should make pro-
fuse apologies. If he is suddenly
called away, he should try to find
partners for the ladies with whom
he engaged dances and should eX-
plain his leaving them.
1t is not obligatory, but simply a
pleasant custom, for gentleman to
send flowers to young lady whom
he is going to escort to dance
party. When she is his fiancee, it
is especially appropriate and appre-
ciated.
The lady always makes the first
suggestion to leave social gather
ing. 1t is not always necessary to
bid good night to the host and hos
tess if it will interrupt the course of
entertainment in which the host and
hostess are-~-engaged.- Departing
from social affair while it is at the
height of its amusement should be
done cheerfully, but quietly.
When one is on a visit, or at a
weekend party. IL is proper to fol
low the style and, custom of the hos
tess, to have suitable costumes for
each of the forms of recreation
which one is to enjoy and to fol-
low quite closelys the requirements
of the hour. Guests should not ac-
cept invitations from others without
first consulting their hostess.
1t is an objectionable breach OF
loyalty to ones host or hostess to
retail an information one may have
acquired on visit, or discuss their
characteristics and management with
anyone, nor should one take sides
with any unpleasant or embarrassing
family discussions!
If for any reason guests are un-
comfortable or disappointed, they
should conceal their distaste, and If
it is entirely unbearable, some pleas
ant diplomatic excuse should be
offered for an early departure.
Care should be taken to help keep
things in order, to exhibit good
manners, clean and tidy appearance,
pleasant attitude and cause as little
work and Inconvenience for the hos
tess as possible.
The ease with which the guests
adapt themselves to the order of en-
tertainment offered by the hostess
impresses the hostess with satisfac-
ton and induces. her to encourage
a repetition of the visit.

Household Hints


Flour your tins for cakes or buns
instead Of greasing them.
Olive oil makes an excellent pol
ish for mahogany.
Hot vinegar makes good sponge
solution for suit or dress of dark
serge which has become shiny from
wear.
Strong salt water is dandy for re-
moving perspiration stains from
clothes. Garments should be soaked
in it before being launoered.
Fresh meat should never be sailed
when frying it. Salt extracts the
Juice and .hardens the meat.
A bottle of onion Juice often saves
the day. Keep one on hand!
The leaves of house plants can be
cleaned by applying equal parts OF
milk and warm water. Use sponge
and rub the leaves gently.
Try buying dozen buttons al
alike to use on the children's clothes
when missing. III avoids searching
for button 'to match"

Beating Meringues

In starting to beat egg whites, be-
gin slowly and increase the speed as
they stiffen. Granulated sugar, in
particular, must be beaten into them
in tablespoon quantities and the
whole thoroughly beaten before
more is added. 1t is somewhat dis
solved by the wetness of the egg,
which is stiffened thereby. A test
for a final or a meringue stiffness
is that a knife will cut through il
clean. The more sugar the drier the
meringue, of course; and, since egg
whites differ in size, judgment must
be used so as not to get it too dry.

Beauty Answers

Mrs. J. L., Your generally poor
health has caused the condition of
your hair which you describe. You
need to build up, as the hair gets
its sustenance from the blood. Eat
plenty of nourishing foods, drink
milk daily and spend an hour each
day in the open ain. Wash your
hair every week and brush it daily
for five minutes.
r. W.: Snowy white nail tips may
be had if you will insert nail white
under the fingernails. If your nails
break easily, soak them for ten min
utes each night in olive oil or sweet
almond oil, which has been slightly
warmed. Use just enough oil to COW
err the finger tips.
Jessie, You get those wrinkles
between the eyes from frowning.
Undoubtedly eyestrain is responsible
for it. Accompanied by headaches,
it seems to indicate trouble. See an
eye specialist and have your eyes
examined.
J. S.: Soak the feet in hot water
for half an hour before going to
bed. This softens the calluses. Rub
with pumice stone to take off the
hard skin. Apply a few drops of
castor oil.
B. r. T.: The use of an eyebrow
pencil for darkening the eyebrows
is the simplest method. They may
be darkened just as the hair is dark
ened by the use of dye.
Gene H.: The deep lines under
your eyes are due to lack of sleep
Six hours isn't sufficient sleep for q
young girl. You should have eight
or nine hours sleep in well ven
tilated room. If possible, spend an
hour in the open air every day.
Melba: If you find milk consti'
pating, add some acid to 1t before
drinking. Lemon juice or orange
juice is good. Also grape fruit juice
or the juice of berries.
Miss D.: The hair is constantly
falling out, but it is being replaced
by new hair, so you need not worry
Were you losing large quantities Of
it, it would be necessary to TAXI
action to prevent it. In healthy hair
il is replaced as quickly as 1t is lost
