ors or co-operatives to purchase
such grain from the corporation
and to parcel il out to farmers at
reasonable handling charges" He
urged that county agents look into
the matter.
AT the same time. he stated re-

for hay, wheat. oats. barley and
corn and blamed uneconomical

L a b lie S Viewed as
Proper Proportion
A nnOunc cement of
Rules.
BY BETSY CALLISTER.


IN this country, at least. subtle but
real line is drawn between the
practice of playing cards for prizes and
playing the same games for actual
money. Theoretically, the difference
may be inconsiderable, but in actual
practice it is enormous.
In almost every section of the coun-
try when representative women of the
community assemble to pass an after
noon together playing bridge, prizes Of
some sort are expected. But it is only
in the larger cities, and there only
among certain sets, that playing for
money--even small amounts Of money
Is locked upon with favor. Therefore,
when a reader writes saying that she is
planning to give a large bridge party
for the members Of an important club
to which she belongs and asks whether
she should permit playing for money,
or whether she should provide prizes
instead, my answer would be definitely
In favor of prizes. No one can be Of
Tended by the giving of prizes. Certain
conscientious objectors-who see no
dMerence between playing for prizes
and playing for m0ney-there may be,
but these women have the privilege of
declining a prize If they have a score
that entities them to one.
In most groups of bridge players there
Is an unwritten regulation as to the
price that the hostess should pay for
her prizes. If your friends usually do
not give prizes that cost more than 50
apiece, then it would be In rather bad
taste for you to offer a prize much
more costly than this.
On the other hand, If you cannot af-
ford to pay so much for prizes, you may
solve your problem In a satisfactory
way by presenting prizes that you have
made yourself, the actual cost Of which
may not exceed SO or so cents. A guest

them is enough to make one eager to
have as large and as varied q wardrobe
as possible.
The jacket suit has established its
claim at the Southern resorts for frst
choice among street costumes for
Spring. You may select a suit of the
two or three-piece sort--jacket and
skirt, or jacket, blouse and skirt. Most
of the new three-piece ensembles con-
siSt Of separate blouse and skirt instead
Of skirt mounted on a slip top with
an overblouse to go with 1t. The sep
arate skirt has the advantage that 1t
may be worn with either q tuck-in
blouse or an overblouse.
X X X \
THE return of the jacket suit has
= brought back into favor a numbeI
of suiting materials that have been lit
tie used of late years. Tweed no longeL
reigns supreme-though to tweed In its
wide variety of weaves and colors should
be given credit for renewed interest in
all wooden materials. Now we have
serges and a variety Of twilled materials
that lend themselves better to the
smartly- tailored suit than the more
loosely woven tweeds.
While the jacket suit of wool will oc-
cupy our first attention. there Is every
reason to believe that the interest in
this type of costume will be prolonged
through warmer months by means of
the light suit made of silk or linen. OF
all silks, shantung and similar rough
silks meet the requirements of the
jacket suit best, and pique divides hon.
ors with uncrushable linens and linen
like cotton materials.

Hats Must Be
Smartly Worn

Hats that are really smart are now
adayS within the reach Of all, but 1t Is
one thing to wear smart hat and quite
another thing to wear a hat snartly
Some women take pains to adjust their
hats only when they are new or only
when they are quite expensive, and
some women feel that just because a
hat is expensive they themselves should
be relieved Of all responsibility In the
matter.
According to one milliner American
women are the inferior of French wom-
en- in this gentle art of putting on their
hats. Young girls, she says, are espe-
cially careless in the way they treat
their hats, and 1t is only because they
possess the charm Of youth and a style
that is characteristic of American girls
in particular that they manage to look
as well as they do. You may agree with
this little milliner-or you may not
but anyway you may be interested in
hearing her directions and warnings.
One should be very careful In ham
ding a hat. When you take a hat
from its box lift it lightly out by the
crown and then slip one hand under
the hat so that finger prints may not
be made on the brim Light-toned hats
are very easily soiled and even spotlesS-
ly clean fingers leave imprints on velvet
or soft feltS.
In putting the hat on the head hold
one hand on either side of the crown
lightly, and then bring the hat down
over the head, pressing it down at the
back of the head first and then bring
ing 1t forward to the desired angle.
In pressing the hat down bring what
pressure is needed on the lower part of
the crown. Never pull it down by the
brin, as this is sure to spoil the shape,
especially If the hat is of the draped
sort.
Never let a milliner persuade you to
buy hat that is too snug. 1t is quite
true that hats of soft materials will
Stretch after they have been worn q
few times, but this enforced stretching
brings an undue strain on the hat and
may entirely spoil its line.

Money and Prizes in Bridge

dainty handkerchief that you have
made, a card-table cover-these things
are always acceptable and may be made
at small cost by the woman who is
handy with a needle.
The question of how many prizes to
give-whether to give first and second
prizes and consolation prizes as we'll
may be answered by figuring on one
prize for each four players. Thus If
you have an evening party Of two tables,
one first prize for men and one first
prize for women viii answer. If there
are four tables. then you may have q
first and second prize for men and
the same for women.
If you decide to have the players
pivot" rather than progreSs-and this
Is sometimes the best ARRANGEMENT at
large party where many of the guests
are strangers to each other-then it is
customary to have one prize for the
best player at each table. These prizes
should be as much alike as possible
For an evening party where there are
man and woman players these table
prizes should consist of something that
would be as appropriate for a man as
for woman-a pack of good-looking
cards or a box of candy, for instance.
Candy or sailed nuts packed in an
attractive box are always acceptable,
and these may be made at home at
considerable saving. You may be able
to buy an attractive little bowl or jar
for as little as 10 cents. This filled
with sailed nuts which may be blanched
and sailed at home, and then wrapped
attractively in waxed paper and tied
with ribbon, makes a prize that any
one would appreciate.
At party attended only by married
couples it is sometimes q good plan to
offer q prize to the couple whose added
scores are the highest. In this way
a more expensive prize may be given.
When this plan is to be followed the
hostess should, I think, indicate the
fact at the outset, so that there need
be no possible misunderstanding when
the prizes are awarded.
