White Goats
NOtCOnfined
To Walters
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: The young men
studying at this college, who have
little money, are our walters in the
dining room. We don't want to make
them feel liked hired walters even if
they are willing to earn their educa-
ton, and for this reason we don't
know whether it would be unkind to
ask them to wear white walters coats
when they serve.
AnSwer-A white coat is not nee
essarily a walters coat-far from it.
They are worn by many doctors in
their Offices as we'll as by all doctors
in hospitals and by any number of
men in other professions. In fact, I
should think the young men would
like to wear them, both because they
look fresh and clean and because
they would also save wear on their
own coats.
X
Dear Mrs. Post: 1t seems that in
this town, to which have moved
recently, no married woman can SO
much as speak to a man and keep
her good reputation. If she happens
to see a real friend of her husband
(and whose wife is an acquaintance
also) at a table alone when she en-
ters a restaurant, I am told she can
not accept his invitation to join him
because of what other people might
say" Isn't this silly primness?
Answer: If you were living in q
great city where average individuals
are not known to any one, the only
opinion to consider would be that Of
your husband. On the other hand,
in a smaller town, where general opin-
ion does not approve of casual friend
illness between wives and other wom-
ems husbands, it would be better to
follow the example Of Rome, and do
as others do.

TT Is CERTAINLY time for your
first print! Spring still seems
pretty far away, but at this time
Il of year practically every wardrobe
is in need of a strong tonic and prints
have that effect. Worn with dark
coats, cloth or fur. they look very gay,
very fresh and sort of hopeful. It's
probably been six months since you
bought one, for the Winter collection
included only a few eravat silks and
sparsely dotted woods and a howered
evening gown or two.
You'll like this design for your first
excursion into the field of patterned

so, having the effect of a two-pieca

unusual way. A little hard to describe
but easy to do. There are points, part
of the sleeve section, that extend into

Approximately lightweight Million Cans

Of the pieces in the can. Grade A
canned tomatoes, the top grade, are
defined as select tomatoes which are
whole or almost whole, uniformly good
red color, practically free from pieces
of skin, cores, blemishes and other de-
fects, and possessing the typical flavor
Of naturally ripened tomatoes. Grade
B specifications call for tomatoes
which are whole or in large pieces,
red in color, practically free Of under
colored parts, pieces Of skin, cores,
ETC., and possessing desirable flavor.
Grade G need not be whole, but In
fairly large pieces, reasonably free from
undercolored parts, etc., and fairly
well favored.
"OTHER products, such as peas,
corn, snap beans and limas, are
graded according to such factors rs
wholeness, maturity, color, flavor and
any other characteristic which rep
resents desirability in the particular
product. So far the A, B G grade
labels are on cans containing 10 diff
ferent vegetable products and one
fruit. The vegetable products are to-
matoes, tomato juice, tomato catsup,
corn, peas, snap beans, beets, spinach
and sauerkraut. Sour red cherries
are thus far the only fruit so labeled.
Most housekeepers realize, says the
Bureau of Home Economics, that for
some purposes there Is no use buying
grade A products because grade c will
do just as well and should cost less.
Grade c canned tomatoes, for exam
pie, are entirely satisfactory for seal
Looping with bread or with macaroni
and cheese, or for tomato rabbit or
tomato sauces, or making Swiss steak,
or soups and Stews. Canned corn Of
this grade should make good corn
chowder, corn fritters, corn rabbit,
Succotash, scalloped corn, corn pud-
ding and mixed dishes, such as corn,
tomatoes and cheese on toast. Canned
carrots, beets, peas and snap beans
OF grade C may be used for creaming,
or in soups and stews, in q vegetable
curry, a vegetable bunny" (mtxed
vegetables in cheese Sauce), a cas-
serole of vegetables au gratin and
various other dishes.

"CONSUMERS should, Of course,
distinguish between the A, B, c
labels of quality and the kind Of Ia

grade labels are not required by law.
Their use is voluntary on the part
of the producer or dealer. Certain
features Of the can label, however,
are required by law-statement Of the
net weight of the contents of the can,
the presence of added liquid, artificial
coloring, ETC., must be printed on
the label for the protection of the
consumer. Since any products which
do not comply with the law as to
soundneSs, cleanliness, proper con-
tainers and other conditions affecting
the wholesomeness Of the food are
ruled OF the market by the food and
drugs law, all the A, B, c grades are
good grades, and such labels can never

Just as well as far as nutrition Is con-

The bureau itself goes on to explain
in detail:
''These grade labels are based on
quality standards which have been
set up by the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics, United States Department
of Agriculture. The grades and the
labels have been adopted by many
Gamers, shippers and dealers.
by these standards the ordinary
commercial quality Of canned vege-
tables and fruits is labeled Grade c.
third best. Grade B is second best.
Grade A is the top. All grades are
good quality and wholesome.

quality of a product inside can

from one packer may prove to be bet

other brand. At the Bureau Of Home
Economics recently, large lot of can
ned vegetables of different brands
were opened and the contents graded.
they found that Of the IA cans Of
peas that cost the most, and therefore
should have been top grade, were ac-
tually grade C, while some of the less
expensive cans were of better quality.
In the same way some Of the canned
corn that cost the most turned out to
be third grade instead Of first. In
other words, so far as these ungraded
goods were concerned, the price was
not necessarily related to the quality.

the gift angle furnishes another source
that is being lavishly displayed in
every shop.
The dark velvet evening wrap has
an added charm if you use a long,
wide chiffon scarf draped about the
head after the fashion of the Indian
sari. We have found lovely scarfs
of this kind, imported from France,
which are printed in beautiful designs
and exquisite colorings. There are very
large squares and long scarfs. Some
are threaded in metal, giving them
an added luSter. There are both dark
and light shades from which to
choose.
The figure at the right above is
wearing a very fascinating cape Of
white velvet with rows and rows OF
shirred velvet ribbon that makes an
intriguing accessory for an evening
gown and provides way Of making
q gown that you have worn before
appear like something quite new and
different. These fascinating capes
also come in bright red, wine red
and royal blue.
A very new and smart-looking short
scarf that we found is of black chiffon
studded in rhinestones-just the thing
to wear with the tailored black vel
vet dinner ensemble.
Chiffon velvet triangles in rich dark
paisleyS are good to wear with dark

Velvet Is quite popular in neckwear
in both plain and figured types and
comes in woven stripes as well as
hand-painted blocks and plaids.
TOLD color used at the neck of the
black frock continues to be a
smart contrast whether in gold braid
on organdy, gold satin combined with
golden lace, gold metallic cloth or
lacey gold mesh. Very attractive COL
lars in gold-brsided organdy may be
found at So and $3.50. The newest
lacey gold mesh collar Is square in
the front and has tiny jewels set at
intervals along the bottom edge. For
just q touch Of brightness at the
front Of the collar you might like
two leaves made of gold braid, like a
little bow, at $3.50.
A very attractive dreSsy collar at
So has narrow folds of gold satin
fagoted together, forming a fiat neck
finish, with bow of satin at the front
which tops a double jabot of deep
golden yellow lace. This would make
q very good change on your black

new and an excellent gift for the
college girl or young business woman,
with its double collar and cuffs each

Bath Salts
And Other
Accessories
Colored Water Soft
eners, Luxurious Oils
Newest Items.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

W7E TAKE for granted that Beauty
wv takes her bath twice daily. Now
we add beauties for the bath. And
80 important have these accessories
become, and so glamorous, that they
have reached the same luxury class
as perfume and are. in fact, vying
with perfume for holiday honors.
Surely, there are a half-do names
on your Christmas list that could be
checked of with a gift Of one OF
these bath beauties.
For those who live in hard-water
districts there are splendid water
softeners that perfume both body and
bath. Twenty-four individual little
packets in a chest. Or a scented
meal type softener in a wooden drum.
For those who stick to salts there
Is an infinite variety of these; gay
bottles, odors, colors.
Then there are bath essences in
such a variety of scents. The ma
1ority of these act as water softeners,
too And those who worship color
will thrill to the possibility of having
a different colored bath every day in
the week; blue, orchid, green, yellow,
rose and white Then there's that
luxurious bath oil in its equally luxu-
rious crown bottle. A few drops and
the fragrance lasts for hours.
After the bath there are delightful
talcums, eau de colognes, creamy
soothing liquids to rub on sensitive,
chapped, chafed skin.
Down to the more practical, there
are bath mitts with bristles to be used
with soap and water, looped straps for
back massage, some with toweling on
one side and loofah on the other, a
bath glove combining loofah and
toweling.
Rack to the more lavish, we have
the bath ensembles which any faS-
tidioYs modern would welcome-as-
sortments of soap, busting powder,
bath salts or bath essence, bath pow-
der or eau de cologne; and quite the
incest feature of these sets is the fact
that they bear a certain family rela-
tionship in the matter of perfume.
That is one thing the woman in the
know is careful to maintain; per-
fume harmony in all her toiletries and
bath articles. No matter how perfect
each scent in itself may be, if several
are sadly mixed or superimposed the
result may be actually offensive. If
you are doing your own assembling of
perfumes or bathing accessories be
sure there is no clash of fragrances.
Better yet, choose all of the one fra
GRANGE and be on the altogether safe
side.

Attractive
Gifts Made
In Kitchen
Spiced a nd Sug a r
Nuts Have Real
Appeal.
nv EDITH M. BARBER,

THE greatest fun about Christmas
is getting ready for it. At least,
that's my feeling, and am sure that
most Of you agree with me-even the
business woman housekeeper who has
little time to devote to elaborate prep
aration. There are, however, certain
homemade delicacies which take little
time to perpare. Among these are
salted nuts, which will add a personal
touch to the holiday meals and which
also may be put into attractive boxes
to serve as gifts.
There are several ways favored by
this person or that in which nuts may
be salted. like the easiest way.
which in my opinion, gives the best
results. The nuts are merely mixed
with q little bit Of melted butter or
salad oil and baked at a moderate
temperature until they are the right
color. They are then sprinkled with
salt. I make an exception to this
method in the case Of Brazil nuts,
which need no butter or oil. While
almonds are usually blanched in boil
ing water to remove the skins before
they are baked, you may like to salt
some Of them in their skins the way
you flnd them in the Armenian or
Turkish shops.
Nuts are sometimes dipped in egg
white before they are baked. This
method produces shiny appearance.
The other method, which produces
an exceedingly even color, is that Of
frying the nuts in deep fat until they
are just the right shade. Spiced and
sugared nuts, dried fruits stuffed with
nuts and confections made by grind
ing nuts and fruits together are other
practicable suggestions for holiday
treats.

average girl goes into mar

dNCldS 6AAA SOSo @AAeO @-~@
riage without having learned
anything about the job she is
Il assuming. She goes on the
assumption that there is some sort OF
conjure in the wedding ceremony that
will turn a pampered society girl or a
business girl who has not even q
speaking acquaintance with q gas
range into a frst-claSs cook. And
when the charm doesn't work she sits
down and howls, and her husband says
things to his lovey-dovey that make
her threaten to put on her hat and go
back to mamma. That is her first
mistake.
The honeymoon ends and the scrap
ping begins when the bridegroom be-
gins criticidng the brides biscuits
and wanting to know If the beverage
he is supposed to drink is coffee or
dishwater. Men are trained to efh-
cheney and when one finds that he
has married q bungler who doesn't
know the first rudimentS Of her trade,
who poisons him with bad cooking
and throws half his salary in the
garbage can, he feels that he has
been stung, and he begins to regret
his bargain. Nine-tenthS OF the dis
illusion of marriage would be saved If
girls would learn how to cook before
marriage instead of afterward, for by
the time they have served their ap-
urenticeships on their husbands they
have usually killed them, or else
turned them into sour dyspeptics.
X II
THE next mistake young wives make
is in expecting their husbands to
treat them as their mothers did. Ever
since Mamie was born mother has
spent her life spelling her and max
ing her selfish and uniting her for
marriage. Mother has kowtowed to
her and been her humble slave.
Mother has made callouses on her
hands so that Mamie's might be soft
and manicured. Mother has gone
shabby that Mamie might have the
latest Paris confections. And when
Mamie marries and finds that her
husband expects her to give and take
and pull her weight in the boat she
simply can't stand it.
When you read OF a young woman
who has gotten divorce from her hus-
band because of his cruelty, it is nearly
always because he didn't treat her as
her mother treated her.
Another mistake that young wives
make is in being too sentimental and
romantic and demanding too much
love-making from their husbands.
They simply can't kiss courtship good
by and fold it away with their wedding
wells. They make themselves miserable
and get peeyish and fretful and dis
gruntled because the tired business
men, who have slaved all day to
make them comfortable and give them
good homes and cars, do not come
home and make love like a cinema
hero. It would save lot of tears from
neglected wives If women had gump-
ton enough to realize that they have
no reason to doubt their husbands
affections a. long as they bring home
the bacon and stay there to eat IL
