Correct Manners
By Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman

Allen" When she is speaking
to an acquaintance, such as
might have been in the group
you mention, or to friends
whom she does not know very
we'll or even perhaps fairly well,
she would refer to her husband
as my husband" When she
is speaking to close friends, she
would say john
There is not, however, so
much difference between the
two last groups as there is be-
tween the first and second
groups. That is, for a woman
to refer to her husband as
''Mr. Allen" when she is speak
ing to an acquaintance or to a
friend, is very poor form. And
every married woman should
study these differentiations, for
they are significant.

Candles at Table

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Are candles lighted at an in
formal midday dinner, say, for
instance, a Sunday dinner?-
M. M.
No. Candles should not be
used at a luncheon table (and
this table, even for dinner,
would be set at the luncheon
hour, unless they are abso-
lutely necessary, that is, unless
there is otherwise not enough
light in the room. And they
should not even be placed on
the table. The first hour at
which candles should appear
on the table is at the tea
hour, for the tea table.

Household Hint
Ready for the Splash

If you are planning to spend
the morning dyeing, first be
sure to wear an old dress or
apron. Then be certain that
all fabrics except those to be
dyed are out of the kitchen,
such as good linen towels,
doilies, etc. Many a time has
the dye spoon or stick slipped
and caused a splash.

the purpose of wage earning.

a deep chair. The music throb-

higher, past the pointed soaring
of city buildings.

to sing and there was general
talk and a rubber or two of

OYSTERS USUALLY
CHANGE THEIR SEX
Almost SO Per Cent Mature
as Males and Then Be-
come Females.
Ry HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE.

HALIFAX, N. s., November 1.-The
American oyster. once regarded as the
acme of quiet life" at sea, not only can
change his or her sex as recently re-
ported. but has rules for the game un-
like almost anything else on earth.
The latest discoveries about the
strange life of an oyster are reported IN
the progress reports on the Atlanllc BIO
logical Station and the Fisheries Expert
mental Station of Canada. Inc report
Is by Alfredo Berkeley Needler
A short time ago it was discovered
that the American oyster had the abll-
ity to change sex Now it is learned
that upwards of 80 per cent OF these
bivalves actually do change.
Females Are Larger.
1.-THE majority of oysters in any one
population" says the report. mature
first as males and later change to fe-
males They may again return to the
male sex, but the general tendency IS
for most of the younger oysters to be
male and most of the older ones female.
The bigger an oyster is by the flrst
Winter of its life. the more likely Is 1t
to be mature in the next spawning sea-
son and to produce eggs rather than be
a male Thus the females at first tend
age and continue TO be so until they
have reached their fourth Summer.
after which the average is somewhat
lost.
IN accord with this tendency Of the
oysters that are growing best to reach
the female plane first. is the fact that
the higher the average temperature OF
the water over the bed from which the
oysters are taken. the greater the pro-
portion of females to males at any
given age.
Advice on Storing.
This is simply due to the oysters
growing faster in the warmer water and
the temperature factor may be counter
acted by some other factor, such as
oyercroWding, which will work in the
opposite direction. In other words, the
onset of the female phase is fastened
by favorable environment"
