 Relating that by exporting nearly f9,00o,o00 pounds of coffee the Haitian peasants had netted about IS cents per pound, the commission CT forecast a lean year in 1927 be- cause Of low cotton price and eX- pected poor coffee crop, adding that merchants who had overstocked to avoid paying heavier duties under q new tariff law are experiencing diff ficulty in liquidation.
 The Borno administration hopes soon to establish Sisal, he continued as q ycar-round crop 10 take it's place beside coffee, now virtually the sole agricultural product.

course, inspired by Patou's famous

THE HOW-THE WHEN-THE WHY
By ANNE ARDEN.

hibfting good taste we must be un-
der rather than over dressed, and,
strange as it may seem. it is not
in the least noticeable to others when
we are underdressed, provided we
are always trim and well groomed.
Hats are not to be removed at
either the formal or informal tea,
unless. in the case Of the latter, the
hostess especially requests us to
do so.
At the large tea there is little or
no chance for lengthy or especially
interested conversations. People move
about too much. When we arrive
we greet our hostess with some pleas
antry, move on into the room in
which tea is being poured, and
whether or not we know the friend
who Is pouring we ask of her cup
Of tea-pass the moment with her in
conversation, IL she is not too much
occupied with her duties, and wander
away again. If we do not know
well any of the guests, and we stay
fairly near the hostess, without, how
ever, being a burden to her, she will
doubtless introduce us to some Of the
other guests. But, unless we are en-
joying ourselves, 1t is not necessary
for us to remain longer than the
first greeting and the cup of tea
When these things are attended to
the occasion may be concluded And
to stay an indefinite period of time
is poor taste, for If the tea is very
, large, our particular few inches of
space will be needed for the guests
that are constantly coming as others
are leaving.
