rage. They can only hit back as hard
as they can and try to hurt the other
as much as they are being hurt them
selves. So the family row ends in
nothing but broken heads.
Yet all Of this might be avoided
easily by letter addressed to the hus-
band at his place Of business, or the
wife at her home, in which the party
o. the first part sets forth his or her
case dispassionately and his or her
reasons for desiring to do this or that,
without dragging in any extraneous
matters and without display of emo
ton, and which the party of the Sec
ond part could read and consider on
its own merits and without any side
remarks about interfering mother-in-
laws or sponging kinfolks.
Children particularly would benefit
by the process of making their re-
quests of father by correspondence in
stead Of by word of mouth, because
children are inarticulate and illogical
and do not know how to plead their
cases convincingly. They are thrown
into a panic by father rushing into a
torrent Of fault-finding and telling
them that he never went to parties
when he was young, but always stayed
at home and studied his lessons, and
that he never wanted nice clothes
and foolishness, and generally putting
his foot down on their propositions
and feeling that he has to stand by
his position.
A hundred times father says mo"
at home when he would say Yes" if
the same request reached him in a
letter along with other business prof.
ects and had to be decided on its own
merits. Certainly letter would be a
white dove of peace in many family
now torn with internal discord.

Celebrating
TheWedding
Anniversary
Suggestions for Tea
or At Home for
Friends.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: My mother and
father will soon have 25th we'd
ding anniversary. I would like very
much to do something for them, but
I have very little money to spend and
no one to help me as my brothers and
sisters are all too young. What could
I have SO that I might ask their
friends and our relatives to the house,
and since SO many of them live too
far away to come would it be proper
to invite them anyway so they would
know of the occasion and know they
are wanted. Will you please tell me
Just what I may do and how l should
20 about it?
Answer-An afternoon tea or q
simple evening at home, which Is
practically the same as an afternoon
tea In either case serve hot tea or
else tea punch, with thin sandwiches
and a cake that may be of any sort,
but iced like a wedding cake and
trimmed with silver. II little silver
candies are not to be found at your
confectionery make a wreath or deco
ration of silver leaves. If necessary,
make these by silvering the leaves with
silver paint. Whatever you do, don't
put any silver paint on candles!

Dear Mrs Post: We have q son and
daughter at college in the same town
several hundred miles away from here.
On more than one occasion they have
been invited to spend the week ends
and shorter holidays. when they could
not come home to us. with local STU
dents families, whom he have never
met. Soon my husband and I are to
spend week or so In this town as my
husband has to put through business
transaction there. Is there anything
we can do for these friends and par
ents of our children? There are four
Or five families, I believe.
AnSwer-Actually there is no obli-
ration of yours to do anything. But
II we're you. would discuss this
with your children and do what they
suggest. They and they alone know
whether their friends expect-or would
appreciate your acknowledgment.
and, If so, what you could best do
X
Dear Mrs. Post: Who is expected
10 suggest leaving supper club when
the party has not been pay party"
but has been by invitation of host
and hostess?
Answer-The Oldest woman guest,
or If guests are young, probably the
hostess. If the hour grows very late,
any one can properly make the
c1ove-eyen the host.

microscope land have different val
ues for laundry purposes, too. Chem
ically, however, they are all the same
carbohydrate, and have the same
food value, no matter which grain or
vegetable they may come from. And
starch does not dissolve in water; q
fact worth remembering when thick
ening sauce.
COUGAR, or the other hand, which
does dissolve in water, is found
in the juice or sap of plants and
trees, and In their fruit, also in milk.
And there are. chemically speaking,
five different sugars in the common
foods. In the juice or sap of the sugar
cane. sorghum, the sugar-maple tree.
and the sugar beet. the sugar is su-
crosse. All our table sugar, then, is
sucrose. In fruits and in honey the
principal sugar Is fructose or levulose,
often called fruit sugar. which Is the
sweetest OF all. Both fruits and vege-
tables contain glucose. One other
sugar, maltese. Is found in sprouting,
or matted. grains. Milk sugar is called
lactose.
Sugar in crystalline form (granu-
lated or powdered) or In syrup Is
highly concentrated-so much so that
a teaSpoonful eaten alone may be
cloying and sufficient to take away
the appetite. 1t has. OF course. high
energy value. And authorities tell
lis the best use for sugar In the diet
Is as fiavoring That Is what sweet
ness iS--a flavor. very desirable when
rightly used. The discriminating cook
adds just enough sugar to bring out
contrast with other f1avors In the
food she is preparing, but too much
sugar obscures other f1ayors. AS for
candies and sweets in general they
should come, as they usually do. at
the end OF the meal, after the other
foods have satisfied the body'S need
for such essentials a protein, minerals
and vitamins. Bread, vegetables and
fat will have supplied energy.
FATS, as well as sweets, are con-
centrated foods. Unlike the car
bohydrates, however, they are found
throughout the animal kingdom and
to some extent in the vegetable king
dom, too. We have fat in concen-
trated form In butter, margarine,
salad oil, and the various cooking
fats. Lard is pure fat. SO are cotton
seed oil. corn oil and peanut oil.
Butter and margarine are largely fat.
Olives and most Of the nuts contain
high percentage Of fat There is
fat in all meats, in eggs, fish and
In milk.
LAS with the sugars and sirups, we
cannot eat much concentrated fat.
We spread the butter on our bread,
we season foods with fat. we use it
for shortening bread and pastry
dough. we add the oil or mayonnaise
dressing to the salad of vegetables or
fruits. All this because we do not
and should not use, by themselves,
such concentrated fats as butter, lard
and salad Oil. For the same reason,
the good cook, when she fries any
thing, Is careful to have 1t crisp and
comparatively dry inside, not soggy

proper diet and living. Both the
human body and the machine must
have energy, or power, to keep them
going The automobile, for instance,
gets its power by burning gasoline as
fuel-the human engine likewise
gets its power by burning its food
or, more accurately. by burning In
the body tissues those substances in
food which can be burned.
These substances are chemical COM
pounds known as proteins fats and
carbohydrates All foods contain one
or more of them. But the foods which
we rely on most regularly for our
power are the carbohydrates and
the fats. The bureau explains:
X 4 x
THE important carbohydrates for
body fuel are the starches and
sugars. In the process of digestion all
these carbohydrates are converted
into the simple sugar, glucose. The
glucose is absorbed into the blood and
carried to all the body tissues, to be
burned as needed for energy, or stored
for future use. 1t is stored in two
ways In the liver and to some extent
In the muscles, 1t is converted into
glycogen, or animal starch" and
stored there until needed, when 1t Is
converted back into glucose and taken
up by the blood again. When We eat
more starch or sugar than is used
for energy or stored as glycogen, the
rest is for the most part converted
into fat and stored In the body tissues
1.-THE starchy foods are important
in the diet because they always con-
tain other food substances, and there

A LII of us like to get letters.
~ Most of us hate to write them.
~ There is no way by which we

letters which we should write, and
there is no way by which we can
create enemies and make utter fools
of ourselves as by writing those letters
which we should not write.
Politicians have wrecked their ca

Elderly men who were pillars of the
church and bulwarks of the bank have
been turned into figures Of fun when
their letters signed "Laddie Boy" or
Blue Eyed Johnny" were read aloud
in breach-of-promise case. Wealthy
women have found that 1t costs more
to buy back their billet-douX than 1t
did to purchase Square-cut emeralds.
Families have been rent asunder and
love slain by letters written in anger.

perience that there Is nothing else

My Neighbor Says:

Throw away white narcissus
bulbs after they are done bloom
ing. The bulbs are SO cheap it is
not worth while saving them for
another year.
To cut angel food or sponge
cakes use two forks and break the
slices apart. If a knife is pressed
into the light cakes they are
likely to become heavy.
A can of vegetable meat soup
can often save the day when COM
pany comes. since it can be devel-
oped into meat stew, meat pie or
creamed mixture. Or it can be
combined with other vegetables
or meats to make the dish extend

Grated cheese, or that finely
chopped with a knife can be
used for covering creamed vege-
tables, and the mixture placed
in buttered baking dish and baked
20 minutes in a moderate oven.
This is a meat substitute.

ssTHE flowers that bloom in
the Spring tra-la" are al
| ready popping out on the
new hats. in little tight
punches in the front of oddly-shaped
straw turbans with wells flying to the
four winds. Flowers and wells are
Paris favorites and you will find them
running riot on every sort of hat, from
the most dressy to the stiff Gibson
sailors.
Felts and straws seem to be having
close race for popularity in the early
collections, and even the darker felts
are more numerous than one would
expect at this season. The dark hat
makes a pleasant contrast with the
light suit, and vice versa. The smart
and fascinating colors of the light
felts make them ideal for Spring and
Summer Match them up with gloves
and patent leather pocketbook and
let your shoes match your suit. This
is one way Of combining your colors
effectively.
COME crowns are high and others
are shallow; some brims are wide
and others are narrow and rolled
softly in the youthful Breton style.
Many crowns and brims show sharp
angles and the sugar-loaf crown IS
very popular.
Among the copies Of Paris originals
you will find the most extreme hat
styles. We saw one of these in navy
blue straw with its flowers and veil,
topping an exclusive suit model in
Copenhagen blue. Another Patou
original in stitched taffeta was a
cleverly manipulated turban with a
downward peak between the eyes and
a dashing long thin quill pointing
down to the left. Gold straw with a
puffy cushion brim and brown veil
is shown with brown lace afternoon
frock.
To be worn with the navy suit you
Will flnd a navy straw medium
brimmed, low-croWned Gibson sailor
with bunch of violetS little west of
center. The suit has a twin bunch
of violets at the shoulder. For the
older woman there is a raspberry red
straw hat that turns up abruptly at
right and slants down correspondence
on the left. This type and color of
hat is well suited to the woman with
gray hair and may be worn with blue
gray Or black.

PATENT leather Is prominent In
hats as well as accessories and
Is featured in a bright red, low
crowned sailor, with a bound edge
and crown band of navy blue. This
was worn with a gray suit and red

a jacket suit in luggage tan worn with
a black satin blouse and black straw
hat. This same outfit was again
shown with hat in luggage tan.
Both were equally good. The tan
hat is interesting in its softly woven
straw, rolled-up brim and leather
bandeau strap with metal buckle.
Patent finish straw makes a black
hat look new and snappy and a
confetti veil goes a step further in
the direction Of novelty. Mint green
adds Spring touch TO dark brown

wear with a beige coat and brown
dress.

ages has been issued by Judge
Walter T. Mccarthy, of the Arl-
