and one-hale years, Postmaster General James A. Farley has an- nounced that c new commerora. tive postage stamp will be issued honoring Susan 3. Anthony, pio- neer leader in the women suf' frage movement.
 The stamp will first be issued August 20, which is the 18th an. niversary of the proclamation oi the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States providing for suffrage Tor the women of the nation. This proclamation was dated August l6, 1920.
 In addition to her work in be- half of women suffrage, Miss An- thony was @ leader in every move- ment which had to do with equal rights for women in the coun- try's affairs. Tn recognition of women's share in the development of this country and their social and economic responsibilities in our national life, the post office department is offering this new commemorative stamp. The new issue will be of the three-cene denomination and will bear as the central motif @ portrait of Mis- Anthony. The place of the first day sale will be announced at a later date.

 How a postage stamp altered the course of history is related by Colonel Philippe Bunaau-Varil- la, the French engineer who planned and began the digging of the Panama canal, later taken over and completed by the United States. At the time of the story, according to the engineer, there was sharp competition between the Panama and Nicaragua routes. the latter appearing to nave a slight advantage. Colonel Bunauu-Varilla objected to the Nicaragua project on the grounds that the country was volcanic. Nicaraguan officials refuted the engineer by stating that there had been no eruptions of this kind since 1885.
 Their argument was completely broken down, however, by the willy colonel, who produced the Nicaraguan 3-centavo stamp or 1900, showing the Momotomba volcano in eruption. The state ment was decisive and the Pa- mama project was adopted by the narrow margin of eight votes. Colonel Bunaau-Varilla contends that if 1t were not for this post- age stamp, the vote would have been recorded in favor of starting work on the Nicarasunn project instead of Panama.

Dear Mrs. Post: Will you explain
Just when a party is large enough
for the hostess to receive with the
guest of honor? I've been to some
really large parties where she re-
ceived rather informally and the
guest, whom the people were invited
to meet, was sitting elsewhere in the
room. Then again, at other parties
both hostess and guest of honor stood
and actually received"
Answer.-I would say that party
of so is the smallest one at which
the hostess and guest Of honor would
be likely to stand side by side receiv-
ing. If there are fewer people than
this, the guest Of honor would sit or
stand near the hostess so that the
latter could easily take strangers to
her and introduce her. If the room is
very small for so who arrived together,
1t would be better for the guest of
honor to stand next to her hostess.

Dear Mrs. Post: am widower
and would like to give a dinner-the
first one since I've been q widower,
which has been for many years. A
lady, whom I hope to marry some
time, but who will be a stranger to
most of the other guests. Is to be the
guest of honor. Should seat her
opposite my place, or at my right?
Answer.-The only place to seat this
lady is on your right. The proper
person to put in the seat opposite you
is she whom you know longest, who
has been most often to your house
possibly q relative of your wife or,
best of all, q relative Of your own.
In other words, the opposite place is
for the lady who assumes the role of
temporary hostess; the one on your
right is for the guest of honor.

BY ELSIE PIERCE.

A FRIEND of the family who has
always had spot" at shore or
mountain resort for the Summer
months felt that she could not af-
ford it this year. So, being of sunny
disposition. she decided to make the
most Of things. She took up rugs
and heavy draperies, replacing with
cool, thin curtains and equally cool
colored covers, which she made her
self.
One day while I was visiting an
other friend dropped in.
Il don't blame you a bit for want
ing to stay home this Summer" she
said. After all, there's no place like
home for cool comfort, particularly
if home is like this. How on earth
did you change the place SOP"
Color has a psychological effect on
us. The blues and greens invariably
lower ones temperature. But red,
orange, henna, certain shades Of vio-
let have quite the opposite effect.

gauze with green figures in them. and

drawn because light has way of max

And you, looking cool as the pro-
verbal cucumber, a simple little
shirtwaist frock in cool green print
hair swept off the face, the face it
self properly powered and very little
rouge and just suggestion OF lip
stick.
The materials you wear and sur
round yourself with are important,
too. Woolens or heavy woven ma
terials definitely belong to the win
ter scheme, no matter how light
weight they may be. Chintzes for
decorative purposes, light crepes or
printed crepe for dresses are cool
looking. Satins are heavy. Linens
are summery. Organdies, dotted
swiss, batiste, net, and chiffon, all of
these are easy on the eyes and on
ones temperature during the Sum-
mer.
After all, this business Of being
hot is not entirely physical. It's
pretty much a mental matter. And
everything you can do to make your
self and those around you fall into
a "coor' mood is helpful-keeps the
blood pressure down to normal.

HDEPPERED Beef" Just as pep

too. A brand-new type of meat for
your cold cut platter. Pungent and
spicy, it brings a reviving taste SEN
sation to our Indifferent palate. The
meat looks very much like the ordi-
nary pressed beef IN bulk. 1t is
sliced paper thin for you and is sold
by the pound. The flavor is achieved
through the curing process. The out
side of the meat is thickly covered
with peppery sauce at intervals dur
ing the smoking and curing. This
penetrates into the meat, giving it its
sharp and spicy favor. There is very
little fat to this cut, so there is no
waste. You'll surely want to order
some for the family-or for your next
buffet supper. Be prepared though,
and order plenty, because there will be
second helpings to provide for-and
maybe even a thirdl Use the meat

however, to be pork loin, rolled and

DOTATO CHIPS are another typical
Summer favorite. Those on the
reducing schedule, however, you say,
must shrug their shoulders and pass
this delicacy by. That is true, per-
haps, if you are thinking of the reg

new kind that is called the "greaseleSs

effort to cook decentmeal and whose
houses are like pigstys, yet who go
along putting up with this slackness
and without ever dragging them into
the divorce courts. Yet every man
should like to have tidy, thrifty wife
who was good cook and good man
ager Just as much as every woman
would like to have a husband who was
a good provider.
RUT the one certain thing in all this
~ welter of doubt about what to do
about the no-account husband is for
the wife TO face the situation squarely
and realize that somebody in the fam
lily has to work, somebody has to sup
port the household, and if her hus-
band won't do it, she must do 1t.
No use in deluding herself with opti-
mistic hopes that something will turn
up, or John will get into something,
or Uncle Tom or Cousin Peter will
make a place for John. Nothing Of
the sort is going to happen. John isn't
going to win sweepstake and he isn't
going to work. No earthly power could
hold him to a job. So it is up to the
wife to fit herself for some occupation
by which she can make a living for
them both.

NEAR MISS DIX: To what extent
- should a mother expect or de-
mand financial aid from her children?
My mother is in splendid health and
when my father died he left her
large house, a new car and SIS, 900 in
cash. In years time not cent was
left and neither house nor car. She
started a business of her own and
should be doing very well, but she is
always demanding money, sometimes
as much as $500 at time. If can
not furnish it she has tantrun1s and
says I am not good son. She bor-
rows from every one and holds up my
sisters and brothers, too, and refuses
to account for any of the money we
give her. The problem is becoming
terrific strain, draining my savings to
the dregs. What shall I do?
WORRIED SON.
Answer-I thing you are foolish 70
let yourself be impoverished by
spendthrift mother. If you don't stop
her demands upon you, you will ruin
your entire life and be nothing but
a slave who tolls to supply the insa-
table demands of a wasteful woman.
Stiffen up your backbone and have
a showdown with her Tell her that
if she is in real need you will pay her
board in some comfortable hotel or
boarding house and that you will give
her a definite amount of spending
money, but that you will not lend her
another cent. nor will you pay any
bills that she may contract. That will
save you and be best for her because
she is really getting no good out OF
the money she throws away.
1t is sons duty to see that his
mother does not want, but it is not
his duty to ruin himself for a mother
who is a gold-digger and who loves
him so little that she is merciless in
her demands upon him.
