A Question In
Dance Etiquette

Does a man dance first with his
wife or with his hostess?" asks a
puzzled man. Etiquette in large
cities is different from that in small.
er places. Even circles follow differ
ent customs. 10
Husbands and wives look on a
social affair as an occasion for greet
ing old friends and making new ones,
not for sticking together. At dinner
they are separated as far as posi-
Bile, giving both chance to express
themselves as individuals and not as
halves of the "never-to-be-divid
whole. 'I
At a dance they should both have
too many partners to devote them
selves to each other. Otherwise, it
appears that they do rot know many
persons or might as we'll have en-
joyed each Others society at home.
Married folks go out to see others,
not to be together.
But if the pair know few persons,
they naturally dance together. A
man should dance with his hostess
once or twice during the evening,
but it need not be the first dance. If
no one asks his wife for the first
dance, he naturally dances it with
her.

Recipes for Use Of Rice

The baked and stewed rice dishes
here given are planned with the idea
Of making appetizing and nourishing
dishes in which small quantities Of
the higher priced foods may be made
to go farther than if served alone.
Some of these combination dishes,
such as Italian baked rice, ,savory
rice omelet and oysters scalloped
with rice, can well be used as the
main dish at dinner or supper.
Baked Rice and Giblets: One cup
cooked giblets, 2 cups cooked rice, 2
cups gravy, l teaspoon salt, 4 tea
spoon pepper.
Chop the giblets fine, mix them
with the other ingredients, pour the
mixture into a CREASED baking dish
and bake for 20 minutes. A little
finely chopped celery or green pep
per may be added if. desired. This
dish will make eight or ten ordinary
servings.
Stewed Kidneys and Rice: Two or
three veal or lamb kidneys, / tea
spoon salt, y teaspoon pepper, /
onion chopped, 4 tablespoons butter
or other fat. cups cooked rice, cup
water, 1 tablespoon -four.
Trim. split and cook the kidneys
for 10 minutes in boiling water. Cut
them in small pieces, add the salt,
pepper and chopped onion and saute
them in the fat until brown. Place
the Drowned kidneys and onion in a
baking dish with the cooked rice.
Make a brown gravy by adding the
floor and the water to the fat in
which the onions and kidneys were
Drowned and pour it over the rice
and kidneys. Set the dish in a hot
oven until the mixture is heated
through. This will make about eight
or ten average servings.

Charming New Styles
For Spring Wear

Styles are no longer a matter of
speculation. The new models already
are on display and they are lovely
in coloring and line. Especially in
teresting are the new coats which
show pastel tints in their plaid or
plain fabrics.
The cape has come back into the
mode; this time it may be full
length cape or Just a few shoulder
ruffles which appear like several
short capes swinging from the back.
Street frocks of crepe de chine or
georgette are done in the darker
tones, in usual contrast to the coats.
There still is a note of the ensemble
IN many of the new costumes, al
though the frock is not so closely
allied to the coat as in another vogue
recently passed. For instance, a
rose colofed tweed coat has an ac-
companying frock of navy blue crepe
silk. And one would not suspect the
slightest relationship between the
two pieces until the coat was re-
moved and one discovered a patch
belt of rose silk with streamers of
the same color floating down the
back of the frock.
The vogue for printed silks has
taken on a new lease. During the
summer months and those warm
days of late spring printed silks will
be the smart costume of the hour.
Navy blue and cream color is a ia
vorite combination as is black and
white, green and white, rose and
white and navy and red.
One does not fail to notice the
new large hats which are lovely
for more formal wear. During the
summer and late spring large hats
are correct. The small hat is worn
for street wear and sports wear, but
is properly discarded unless very
becoming after o'clock. Hats of
folds of maline are soft and pretty
and show only yam ornament of bril-
liants or metal ribbon about the
crown.
Gloves are frilled at the wrists
hosiery still is colorfuL although the
new shades are slightly subdued in
their tints to harmonic with the
pastel colorings of coats and frocks.

Helpful Hints Toward Beauty

tssHSs1 IIsfIEcgEEs GrSrl1slSsfsS
Maude; You have the kind of skin
that needs gteasing. Use any good
cold cream. After the wash-up at
night pat the cream in gently. ieav-
ing some on during the night. Spread
an old towel over the pillow case
to protect 1t.
B. N. H.: Undoubtedly, you are
using an impure soap. When you
do use soap, use only the purest
kind, such as a good CASTLE soap.
Cleanse the skin occasionally with a
good cleansing cream instead of the
soap.
E. E. j.: Ribbed nails usually are
due to a rundown condition or too
much friction in polishing the nails.
They may be cured when it is pos
sible to remove the cause.
Mrs. w.: Camomile tea is pre-
pared in the same manner as the tea
we drink. Steep a little of the tea
in boiling water and allow it to cool.
Shampoo the hair and add the tea
to the last rinse water.
J. r. F.: Five feet nine, age "a,
you should weigh 146 pounds, ac-
cording to standard tables. You
could add Is pounds to your weight
and look better for it, for you are
tall and can stand the weight,
Dolly c.: You can not decrease
the size of the shoulder blades. The
thing to do is to cover them over
with flesh, rounding them out. To
do this you must get plenty of sleep
eight to nine hours every night
pass as much time out of doors in
the fresh air as possible and eat
fattening foods.
julie: There should be a certain
amount of oil in the hair. 1t is neces-
sary to keep the hair in good condi-
ton and give it that gossy appear
ance. If your hair is not too oily,
do not use anything on it, as dry
hair is unmanageable and unhealthy.
Just. continue to shampoo the hair
about every two weeks.
T. II. S.; Few persons eat too
much fruit. The average person does
not eat enough. Fruits should be
used every day, as are vegetables.
and preferably with meals. They
are laxative and furnish the body
with various acids. They also serve
as cleaners of the teeth.
Florence: The crusts that accu-
mulate on granulated lids may be
soaked off with a weak solution of
bicarbonate of soda. Red lids are
due to using the eyes in a poor light,
long hours and late hours, which
produce eye strain, also reading on
street cars or in bed, where the light
is not properly adjusted.
Eleanor H.: No wonder your lips
are swollen and ugly looking, when
you persist in biting them. You will
have to overcome this disfguring
habit and you can do so with the
use of little will power. If your
face is oily, wipe it off several times
a day with a piece of absorbent cot
ton which has been a'pped in diluted
alcohol.

Home and Kitchen
Suggestions

Pickles should be kept covered
when not on the table to preserve
their flavor.
Look at the base plugs, as we'll as
the lamp switch, when a lamp goes
out, of order. Often it is caused by
a disconnection at the outlet.
Pineapple should never be stored
uncovered in the refrigerator. Its
delicate flavor is destroyed by alb
sorbing doors from other foods.
Blankets should be Numbered be-
fore storing through summer. A
little cedar camphor or tobacco will
prevent moth damage.
Old channels or kid gloves can be
stitched together into square and
used for drying windows.
Rubber gloves should be washed,
dried and powdered after using.
Cover your broom with cheese
cloth and use it to dust down walls.

druff, apply the following: Sixty
grains of sulphur mixed with one
ounce of vaseline, applied every

sage. For additional instructions
send a stamped, addressed envelope.
Claire; You can not reduce with
out effort on your part. IL you are
really anxious to rid yourself of
your superfuous flesh as you say,
you'll be willing to exert yourself
to do it.
Peggy; The best way to eliminate
constipation is to regulate your diet.
Eat abundantly ,of fruit and green
vegetables raw fruits, cooked
fruits, baked apples, stewed prunes
and figs are excellent. Drink at
least six glasses of water daily.
Mrs. E. T.: The burning sensation
of the eyelids usually is due to one
of two causes. The first is a local ir-
ritation caused from dust or infec-
ton; the second is eye strain. Sell
dom is there any constitutional
cause for this trouble. You should
consult your occulist at once.

TEXANS Study
STREET Cars
Visitors to Convention
In Cleveland Get
Information

CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 1.ZRE
Texas street and interurban railway
men here to attend the American
Electric Railway association conven-
ton opening Monday have been gath
ering information on new styles in
cars and late methods Of operation
to be put into effect when they re-
turn to Texas.
Several dozen Texans from Dallas,
Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio
and Ell Paso and other Lone Star
cities are in attendance. They spent
most Of their time today examining
the exhibits which cover the largest
display Of, electric railway equip
ment ever congregated in one place.
Two new cars, n purchased by
the Northern Texas Traction Sys-
ten Of Fort Worth and the other
by the Houston Electric company,
are among the interesting exhibits.
They represent the last word in
comfort and safety and are being
studied by the railway men from
other cities who wish 20 see the
progress being made in Texas trans
p~ortation.
Leaders Of the business state the
street car and electric interurban
have held their own the last year,
having carried about 10 billion pas
sengers.
The bus problem has been about
settled by adoption. Almost 400
electric lines are operating in excess
Of 5000 buses in cordiance with
electric cars.
Electric railway men declare that
the bus is useful in coordinate SER
vice. and the practice in such cities
as Dallas, Houston and San Antonio
and Fort Worth, where buses are
used by the car companies, IL cited
as the best method in this regard.
The outstanding problem before
the industry IL said by those attend
ing the convention to be the private
automobile. How to induce the car
owEe not to use his motor in COM
petition with the public transporta-
tion system has given the industry
many anxious hours.
The three points, which the indus
try is stressing in its sales efforts,
which include expenditures of S.
000,0 q year in advertising, are
economy, speed and comfort Of cleo
tric ears and buses.
The magnitude OF the industry
represented at the convention can
best be appreciated by the following
statistics: Capital invested S6,000.-
100000; passengers carried annually
16 billion; car in service $4,000;
miles of track $4,000; buses used
5000; miles Of bus routes $4,000;
annual income $1,000, 900 1000; EN-.
