The incident is not drawn from imag'

therefore, has to know her clientele
and appreciate whether what she
thinks will court favor will have that
or the reverse effect.
A Cherished Word.
There are persons who would never
give the appellation a second thought.
But there are women, who are gen.
orally wives and mothers, who cher.
ish the word dear" because of its
genuine meaning. 1t is not one to be
used by any one or used indiscrimi-
nately without at least adverse men.
tai comment
Bad Memory Substitute.
Another thing that the use of the
word dear" implies is that you do
not know or cannot remember the per-
sons name! For instance, If an ac-
quaintance calls you dear" you i'm
mediately begin to wonder if your
name cannot be recalled. Is the term
used to cover up this fact? If so, it
certainly is no compliment to be SO
addressed.
The words dear" "dearie" or "dar-
ling" are not personal pronouns. They
are either adjectives Of endearment or
names implying affection. To misuse
them is. to lower their standard.
References That BelittIe.
Two other words that deserve re-
spect are the prefixed titles Mr." and
Mrs" To refer to a person as "the
Mr." which some wives do, is not only
ungrammatical but in poor taste.
The husband when referred to in
of Mr.. Smith, Mr.. Brown, etc.,A hus-
band who refers to his wife as ''the
Mrs." even though he may do it play
fully, is belittling her, nevertheless.
Titles OF Dignity.
There is a certain dignity about
titles, even those of Mr., Mrs. and
Miss, which should not be dragged
down by omitting to use them as titles
and misusing them as personal pro-
nouns. There is no person who can
not be included in one of these classes
except the small boy, who has his
special title of master" as a. diminu-
tive of Mr.. Because of a loving init
macy in the family and among friends,
these titles are omitted in favor of
given or Christian names or pet
names. To use titles with such peo-
pie is to bar the persons from the Gus
tomary intimacy. TO refer to a hus-
band or wife as 1.-The Mr." or ''the
Mrs" belittles both the person and
the title.

FOOD AND HEALTH
BY WINIFRED STUART GIBBS.
Food Specialist.

The phrase standard of living. 40
often relates to columns of dull fig.
ures. No doubt, the figures are neces-
sary by way OF laying the foundation,
but there is another side to this mat.
ter of food and standards.
Not long ago a publication devoted
to advertising, discussed the value of
"swank." 1t was pointed out that ad.
vertising copy featuring the product
under discussion as used in luxurious
homes carried the most weight. 1t
was further pointed out that the mis-.
tress OF the most modest menage had
her normal ambition fed by the init.
nation that she might one day live in
a more luxurious home.
So in this matter of standards in
food. The housewife may, for reasons
of her own. be perfectly content tenn
porarily to set q table 90 plain as to
be uninteresting. Being q wise dieti.
tan, she has seen to 1t that all the
essential food elements are repre-
sented. but being for one reason or
another temporarily short of funds,
she has also accepted the fact that
she must cut down on expenses.
Now the matter of standards comes
in for consideration right here Not
for one moment must this housekeep-
er let go of her standards. She must
keep before her minds eye the fact
that as soon as possible she will re.
turn to choice grades of food and a
more abundant variety.
This does not dispose of the matter,
however. The ability to distinguish
between the proper pride in setting
a table attractive enough to contrib.
ute to digestion and the foolish pride
that demands unnecessarily expensive
foodstuffs is a God-given attribute.
The question Of swank and stand
ards is worth more than passing con-
sideration. Perhaps the point most
worthy of discussion is this: While
the housewife is waiting with proper
pride for such time as she will be able
to set more attractive table, she can
still do much to add the element of
simple elegance even to such a meal
as that indicated. Suppose 1t is re-
duced to lowest terms so far as ex-
pense and variety go? Much is still
possible. To make a study of the pos
sibilities of beautifying and elaborat-
ing this NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. type of
meal is a splendid exercise and one
likely to result in the improvement Of
family digestion, to say nothing of.

A Simple Beauty Aid.

Many people cherish the idea that a
beauty aid in order to be effective must
be expensive, but this is not necessar-
lily true. In buying commercial
cream or lotion one not only pays for
the useful ingredients, but also for the
pretty Jars or boxes, the advertising,
the perfume used and the prestige of
the manufacturer. 1t is a we'll known
fact that in many cases the attractive
containers represent more value than
their contents. OF course, it Is no
more than fair that the consumer pay
for this beauty and attractiveness, be-
cause these qualities make the product
pleasanter to use, but the real value
OF the cream or lotion in improving
milady's beauty is independent of such

Coming directly to the procedure of

many players with North's holding

ever sound it may be to bid a suit
originally instead of No Trump when
holding a worthless doubleton, such
consideration does not justify the

taking out the No Trump bid with a
