APPLE MARKETS
MAY PICK UP

Washingtons 1887 apple crop
may be smaller than originally esti-
mated, it was reported this week by
the Washington State Apple Stabil-
ization Committee headed by G.. M.
Zediker of Cashmere.
Coupled with this report was the
indication of increased interest on
the part of Eastern buyers, an en-
couraging sign % state apple grow
ers who face unusually stiff compe-
tition this year in the form of 9
national apple crop estimated at 70
per cent above last year.
1--WE hope to see this interest
Whetted sufficiently to strengthen
the market for Delicious, Winesap,
Yellow Newton and late varieties
Zediker said.
"Our Jonathans obtained a good
reception in our home markets,
but there was little interest shown
for them east of the Rockies, due
to the abnormally large eastern
crop However, the stimulus pro-
vided by an early-season chain
store sales campaign has helped
rid the market of some of this glut,
paving the way for our later war;

Beneficial results may be ex-
pected from the combined effect of

TUBERCULOSIS TOLL INCREASES

Just about the time scourge seems defeated
and we begin to relax vigilance, find that
the enemy is back again, as strong before. For
a number of years the people of this country,
uted a huge fund to combat tuberculosis, and
within the past few years have have begun to feel
that the work was largely done and that we could
turn attention to other diseases, but now
comes word that in 1886 there was a sharp in
crease in the number of tuberculosis deaths.
This increase is attributed by DIR. Kendall En-
erson, managing director of the National Tuber-
cuosis Association, to the after effects of the de-
preston. Worry and emotional strain take their
inevitable toll of the human system, he says, and
the white plague invariably follows in the wake of
great national unrest.

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
81 am writing to you to ask
your opinion. On my return home
from visit to my relatives in an
other city, / found an announce
ment card telling me that my
brother.in-law had married again.
My sister has been dead a year.
"ShOuld 1 write to my brother
in-law, or to him and his wife, and
to whom should the letter be ad-
dressed? My husband is not
friendly with my brOther-in.law. &.
Should / include him in my let
ter? "READER."
I'd advise that you write to
your brother-n-law, telling him
your congratulations and best
wishes, and wishing him all hap
piness. In your letter include
your good wishes for his new wife.
Make your letter informally
friendly and sincere. And, even
if your husband is not very
friendly with your brother-in-law,
this good news is an excellent oc-
casion to overlook that fact
so include his good wishes and
fluctuations, too. This may be, in
deed is, only matter of form, but
it is friendly form and shouldn't
be disregarded.

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

"My sister was to be married.
She was given q shower by my
other sisters and received many
beautiful gifts. She also has re-
ceived many beautiful wedding
gifts. For a very serious reason
she has broken her engagement.
"She knows she should send
all these gifts back to the Civ
ers, but the trouble is she took
all the linen out of the boxes
and put it in her hope chest.
She put all the towels, sheets
and pillow cases together, so that
now, even though she has a list
Of what each person gave her.
she does not know which belongs
in which box and which came
from which person, because she
did not write down the trade
mark and color.
81 have spoken to some
friends who gave her gifts and
they all seem to think that she
should keep all her gifts, and
that if she ever marrieS anyone
else she shouldn't have a shower
"PleaSe tell us what to do
Should she try to send the gifts
back and take the chance Of
sending the wrong gift to the
wrong person?
WORRIED SISTER"
I strongly urge that your sister
return these gifts, both the
showers presents and the wedding
presents. Although this will OBJ
viously, in this case, present diff
culties, these difficulties do moi
seem to be very serious ones.
AS you have explained, your

gifts, and she can easily find out

they sent.

Dear Miss Fairfax:

movie or theater, and eats after

Why don't they realize, if they're
invited out, the man expects to

So many young men have been
unemployed during the last few
years, and on that account were
not in position to take girls out,
that the latter got into the habit
Of treating. Don't be too hard on
these generous young ladies.
They're certainly of a finer type
than the little gold-digger who digs
and digs ever deeper in a mans
pocket.
And now that there is more
genuine camaraderie between the
sexes than of yore, girls feel
more Independent, in going $3.50
with man, than if they let him
pay for the entire party. This
column has had quite a number
Of letters from young men who
are distinctly peeved when girls
show no signs of going $685.
However, personally, I COM

It comes in three natural tones,

MISUNDERSTANDING

"After we were married, my
husbands father rented a farm
for us, but insisted that his son
remain at hOr4? until March. AS
/ did not want to be burden, I
got a job and worked as q wait
reSS to help my husband when
We took possession of the farm.
Il was stricken with appended
tiS and had to have an operation,
which my father-in-Iaw said he
would pay for, but after paying
the bill he came to see me and
said he was going to have his
sons marriage to me annulled.
His son followed him out Of the
room without even saying good
by.
II can't understand this, be-
cause my husband had always
been so devoted. What could
have happened in the meantime? ?

Your father-in-law is evidently
under some Misrepresentation in re-
gard to you. I should see a good
lawyer, and If this is too expen-
sive consult the Legal Aid Soci.

ntshes get in touch with the doc.
tor who operated on you for ap-

1t would be difficult for your

1t would be possible to sue him

Beauty
Good Posture
Attracts
By DONNA GRACE


If the ankles are crossed, and
the toe Of the top foot points
downward, the legs are certain to
fall into correct and graceful
lines, and you have assumed an
attitude Of charm.
Perfect measurements are not
really as important, II you will
believe us, as is a graceful posture.
This is one Of those beauty at
tributes that can be acquired If
you really put your mind to the
task.
You will find 1t to be one Of
those intentions that start in the
mind, and it is fed by a growing
personal awareneSs and a self-re.
Spect that creates Self-expresSion.
Practice Needed
What does it matter if you are
a bit Self-conscious for a while?
That will soon change to the more
permanent mindfulness of pose.
Practice posture before a mirror
for a month and you will be sur
prised at the improvements in
your attitudes. You will notice
that your hands fall gracefully or
fold prettily, as matter of habit.
To convince yourself of ungrace-
full anatomical outline, compare
the attitudes Of those with whom
you associate and interest yourself
dispassionately in understanding
why the meek and miserable are
so often wall flowers, and why if
chance puts them on the front
row, they slump and fret with dis
comfort, for no very good reason
at all.
Informality has gone ahead
with rampant speed and been
adopted by the youngsters with
such eagerness that good taste
seems often lost in the hurdles.
There are a number of vivacious
young women who cross their
knees and then encircle them
them with clasped hands, deflat-
ing the chest and rounding the
spine into a hoop curve, and los
ing the sense Of grace in the COM
fort they find, so posed.
| This pose is one Of the major
reasons why Grundies Cry out
against crossed knees. But it
seems to us that knees can be
crossed with grace when done cor.
rectly. The figure should be held
erect, the spine straight but sup
pie; the bottom of the rib cage
supporting the body poise, and
being dictator of the matter OF
angle.
Natural Grace
# you try to remember, that II
) is never pretty to show the sole o1
the shoe; to dip the toe down
: ward, as all dancers do with such
natural grace when sitting, the at
titude will be one Of charm ant
grace.
It is true that knee caps are not
beautiful enough to be featurec
reckleSsly and without reason; ye'
they have an important influence
on personal appearance. Try tt
stand with the knees straight, o.
even curve them backward, rather
than forward, if possible, for th'
,, body support they give you.
There are many things that cal
, be done to improve ankles ant
give them symmetry. A reall,
beautiful ankle should have SUI
ficient flesh on it to veil the cor
tour Of the joint, but watch whel
excess fat begins to assert itsel1
Mere thinness does not guarar
tee lovelineSS, and Difference mus
always be given to the small-bone
types, whose intrinsic nature put
them far In the lead.
