sizing up the right moment for
departure, and then making a
prompt yet gracious getaway!
But enough of the Rush Mores.
All Of us are likely to be lacking
in social graces on occasion. Per-
haps we drag our troubles into the
conversation, or sit and ponder
them blackly. Perhaps we fail to
enter into the spirit Of the occa'
sion when the hostess proposes
bridge or a jaunt to the movies.
Or we may become so interested
in some person we meet at a
friends home that we forget We
owe q certain measure Of atten-
tior to all.
Success socially, and in business,
often depends on just such impor-
tan5 trifles as these! Our 4O-page

Leave CalHn6
Cards
ByNfRS.CORNELIUs BEECKMAN

ByMRS. S.CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
IT came to this city as bride
three years ago. Now my hus-
band and plan to move to a
smaller city. When friends make
their first cali, how soon do 1 re-
turn each call, and do leave
cards? And how many CARDS?
please tell me how to have my
cards engraved. My husband Is a
professional man.
Would I be expected to have
a reception or an afternoon AT
home" once month?
CONSTANT READER
To show gracious appreciation
of these so-important welcoming
calls, you should return these
calls within 10 days or two weeks
after they have been made. Re
member that these calls Signlt1-
cantly establish your entrance
into the social life of the new COM
munity, and so they should not be
treated casually.
Yes, you do leave cards. You
leave one of your own cards Tor
the hostess, and one for any other
adult woman or women who are
members of the household OF the
woman who has called on you.
For instance, If there is an adult
daughter of the household, you
leave one of your cards for her.
And if, say, there is an aunt who
lives with this family, you leave
one of your cards for her. But
not more than three OF any one
card is left. And a woman does
not leave a card for a man.
And, If you are leaving your
husbands cards Gas it is good
form for you to do), you leave
one of his cards for the hostess,
one for the host, and one, say,
for an adult daughter. Not more
than three cards are left.
Your cards should be engraved
In this form: Mrs. George Alan
Jameson.
IF you wish-and it is excellent
form-you may have your street
address engraved in the lower
right corner, in the same style OF
engraving as that used IN your
name, but in smaller letters.
Have as few authorizations a.
possible. Don't, if you can avoid
it. use an initial in the name
spell the name in full. And don't
have street or avenue abbreviated
Authorizations are not appropriate
for formal social items. The fact
that your husband is a protes'
sional man does not alter the form
of your name. His title does not
appear in any form in your name
It would be gracious and hos
pitable for you to have an AT
Home" occasionally, but this
would not be necessary. But If you
can do this, 1 strongly urge yor
to do so.

Take from the pot and drain, re-

Chop everything fine. Melt a
lump Of butter in a deep iron
pot and stir in enough flour to
make a brown roux, being care
full to stir it until it reaches a
delicate brown color. To this
add the chopped onion and gar
lie. Add the salt meat which has
been cut into small pieces, the
seasonings, and stir constantly for
10 minutes.
Add ~ quarts Of water, in
cluding water in which green's
have been cooked and cook gently

Beauty
We MustKeeD
Slender
BY DONNA GRACE

Size and figure seems to be al
most a matter of locale. II we
lived in Turkey, we would without
e doubt be trying to gain extra
poundage, for there it is looked
upon as a mark of beauty.
Fat women seem to proclaim
the rank and station of their
honorable husbands. The most
favored ones are those whose fig
ures may be compared to a pile
Of automobile tires.
Here in our own country. how
ever, we have q standard Of our
own, and while it may change
slightly to conform to the styles
in gowns and other seasonable
changes. the rule is we must keep
slender.
The following suggestions will
enable you to check up on your
own measurements.
Let us suppose you are feet
5 inches tall; you would deter
mine your bust measurement as
80 inches and the number Of
inches your height exceeds feet,
which is inches-so it would be
q 35-inch bust measure.
The hips should measure
inches more than the bust which
would be 81 inches. The waist
should measure q inches or &
inches less than the bust.
Fashion authorities are going to
expect us to have even a smaller
waist line than these measure
ments call for, but that should not
cause us any alarm, as we know
how to remove q few inches, if
need be.

AS usual, the first rule Is con-
slider the house. If its eighteenth
century or early American, givt
something in the spirit Of thest
times. If it's fresh and modern

There are some happy gifts thai

The adaptable materials au

even so, they are definitely Of
period. But you can find thingi
that are not, in each of the medis
mentioned, and they are pretty
safe for any home.

ticularly useful and adaptiblG
things I've seen are magazine rack

wire, fanciful and decorative, but
most practical in a home of any
type, small or large. They're
painted white, which makes them
easy to fit in.
White or colored pottery Il
pretty much in the same class
If you want to give a small, un
ambitious gift, a pair of small
vases is lovely, because a house
keeper can fit them in almost
anywhere, and even if she only
gets them out to use for flowers
they will be a boon. No woman
ever had enough things to pui
flowers in. There are some verl
beautiful pieces of pottery in thu

Beautiful Crystal
Lamps, always useful, but they

boxes will go practically any

Chromium has appeared in
many smart new things, and it is
good gift for the modern
minded woman. Salt and pepper
spheres, the salt about twice al
large as the pepper are unique
and attractive. Mustard and
chutney spheres, held in frame
are likewise smart. An adorable
individual coffee set will pleass
any woman who has Sunday
morning in bed, or who serves it.
And there are numerous clever
trays for crackers and cheese,
cigarette boxes. lamps, drinking
accessories, racks for your news
paper, and so on, almost forever.

Perhaps they'll wander around

Not only will this be important
in planning menus for your own
cookery but it also is a thought
to keep in mind when choosing
your dinner from hotel menu
card. Think of meal served
with no color contrasts.
Meat with milk gravy, mashed
potatoes, corn, hot biscuits, rice
pudding with top milk. All good
foods, all palatable, all budget wise,
but such a colorleSs array for a
poorly balanced menu.
Choosing an assortment from
white, yellow, red. green and
brown not only gives an attractive
plate but likewise good proper
tion of carbohydrates, minerals
and vitamins.
Psychologists tel us that people
react strongly toward color. Many
wise concerns have made use of
this fact. Interior decorators use
color contrasts and subtle blend
ingS to develop color harmonieS in
beautiful furnishings. So in the
same way a colorful menu appeals
and has a stimulating effect on
the appetite.
In your menu planning if yo,l
plan for a quart of milk for chill
dren and a pint for each adult,
YOU can be doubly sure that you
are protecting your tam1lys
health.

Health
Cleanliness Is
Essential
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D

By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. ID.
There are two great sources
of communicable disease-man
himself, and the lower animal.
But since most of mans cpl
demic diseases are peculiar to
himself, man is the greates5
source and reservoir of human in
lection. Man is mans greatest
foe in this regard" So says DR..
Rosenau in his textbook on Pre-
ventive Medicine and Hygiene"
These communicable diseases
enter the body almost exclusively
by one Of three routes: Through
the mouth, through the respira-
tory systematic nose, throat and
lungs-and, third, through the
skin.
The first group, those that en-
ter through the mouth and ,di-
gestive tract, can be carried to the
mouth by the hands as we'll as in
the food.
The second group, those that
enter through the respiratory
tract, can be carried there by the
hands as we'll as in the air we
breathe.
The third group, those which
enter through the skin, are, in
most cases, carried to the infected
area by scratching or curious
fingers.
On all counts, it is evidently
important to observe the advice of
DR.. Shirley Wynne, former COM
missioner of health, New York city,
when he says, Don't spare the
soap!"
No antiseptic is effective, except
in first-aid injuries, without the
use of soap and water. Soap often
has been shown to be one Of the
best antiseptics available-not only
does it remove germs, but it
actually kills them by its presence.
The reason that no antiseptic
is effective without the use of
preparatory cleanliness is that
germs tend to be caught in grease
and oil and dirt-in the crevices Of
the skin of the hands, under the
finger nails, around the cuticle
A thorough brushing with soap
and water will remove these masses
Of germ-laden grease and allow the
antiseptic to get at such germs as
may resist this attack.
But beside from that, a solution
Of soap and water, such as is
made by rubbing a good lather
into a bowl of water, is more ef'
fective in killing germs than many
highly recommended antiseptics.
Precautions of this kind are par
ticularly important to safety in the
shop in order to prevent industrial
accidents. Wherever a number of
people congregate, whether in shop
or school, the opportunities for the
spread of disease will occur.
Not only for infection, but also
for such industrial poisonS as lead
and phosphorus, the most i'm
portant thing is cleanliness.
