P. S.-If local police do not wish
to listen to what Mr.. Krauss has to
say, then they should stuff cotton

right to speak on any corner that
the Salvation Army is permitted to

anarchism or communism, then 1t
would be time to stop him. Many
people have called our flag grand

Home Making Helps
The Cost of Modern Hos

By Wanda Barton

NAV HAT In hospitality and Why's
VW These questions we modern
housewives ask ourselves ire
ouentiy after a siege OF entertaining.
We are often carried away by our
hospItable inclinations and give invi-
tations without counting what the
cost may be- Guests eat. food Is en-
pensive. help grumbles at extra
work unless compensation 10 prom
ised. and there are always little
extras we don't expect to be counted
In.
OLD fashioned hospitality meant
only switching places and putting
what the family had. Today we feed
these guests as they are generally
supposed to live at home. or an they
are fed at other tables. III they are
simple people well and good III not
their coming puts a painful crimp IN

how we entertain. We don't qualify

the extras that add 10 the cost En-
te%rtaining has become a specialized
art. Like II or not. we must do ms
others do or be out OF the social
race.
Many modern hosts take their
guests TO a restaurant. hotel or tea

they are offering. There at a stated
sum the trick is done and no dishes
to wash. In this way IL Is brought
under the head OF amusement in the
budget book. Others entertain only

inexpensive way OF doing. A tea q

You must not expect the heart TO be SO
regular In its function. 1t was never intended to
