Use of Calling Cards
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
/. Some writer's on etiquette
say that it is not correct to leave
joint cards when paying a

correct. What is your opinion?

it optional whether I leave my

There are a number OF
methods for this. The perma-

of our skin when the summer
season of sports and scanty at

and arms, so inconSpicuouS
when covered, must be perfect

QN.S0.-1n spite of the reams
written about Carlo, Hollywood
has been slow in discovering
Sweden from a fashion view
point. The colorful dress of the
Russian, the Swiss and the Mexi.
can peasant has long influenced
Americas styles, but for some
inexplicable reason Sweden, the
one country that has preserved
its national dress for centuries,
has been overlooked until now.
Although the native Swedish
costume differs greatly in vari-
GUS villages, generally speaking
it is characterized by much hem
stitching, embroidery and lace.
A gay apron is worn over the
full skirt whether girl is at
home or dancing in the streets.
The typical blouse is white cot
ton, with high, turned-down col
lar and full sleeves gathered at
the wrist. Accessories are ex-
tremely gay, jewelry is heavy,
and millinery varies from tall,
pointed caps to knotted scarfs.
My personal favorite Of the
Swedish adaptations is Gale
Pages full-skirted, sleeveless coat
dress, which has fitted bodice
laced up the front. It is linen,
taking its shade of blue from
the Swedish flag, and is coupled
with a yellow handkerchief linen
blouse which also takes its color
from the Swedish national ban
ner. The blouse has high,
turnover collar, but the sleeves
are only elbow length.

that because they are victims"
of a girl that they need the pro-

Gifts of
Famous Collectors
Many of the original docu-
ments are the property of the
Museum Of Costume Art. They
are the gifts of Irene Lewisohn,
Of the Neighborhood Play
house School of the Theater
and president Of the museum;
Lee Simonson, of the Theater
Guild; Mrs. August Belmont,
M. D. C. Crawford, Aline Bern
stein, Miguel Covarrubias, and
other well-known figures of the
social, art, designing and the
atrical worlds. Other costumes
have been loaned by prominent
individuals and the Brooklyn
Museum, American Museum Of
Natural History, and the re-
markable museum of the Tulane
University, of Louisiana.
Although it is only a year
old, the Museum of Costume Art
has achieved a degree of ad-
vancement beyond the hopes of
its founders for this brief
period. Gifts to it are tax free
and duty free, and the perma-
nent collection already numbers
nearly a thousand items.
Pending the time when it
shall have its own building, the
museum treasures are stored in
temporary quarters at 16 w.
Forty-Sixth St., New York city,
where it maintains an executive
staff and trained research
workers who arrange exhibits
and lecture demonstrations. It
is the only museum in the world
devoted entirely to costume arts.

Boiled Beef
Horser0dish Sauce

Wash well four pounds OF
short ribs or breast of beef.
Put one pound of soup bone
in the water with all the soup
green's and some salt. Boil
slowly for half an hour. Then
put in the soup meat. Keep on
boiling slowly until done (about
two to three hours.) Serve with
horseradish sauce.
Cream
Puffs
Put one cup of water in a
saucepan over the fire. When
1t boils add to it one-half cup of
butter and stir until it dissolveS;
then stir in one and one-half
cups Of pastry flour, stirring
constantly while cooking until it
is smooth and forms a ball, leav-
ing the sides Of the pan. Take
from the fire and cool. When
cool add one-half teaspoon of
salt and six eggs, unbeaten, one
at a time. Beat well. Drop
with tablespoon on a buttered
baking pan, forming little cakes
some distance apart. Bake about
20 minutes in a quick oven, or
until they have puffed up light
and are a delicate brown. Test
the puffs by lifting one up from
the pan: if very light, it is
done. The lightness is given by
the thorough beating in of the
eggs. When cool make an open
ing in the side with a sharp
knife and fill. The filling:
Scald one pint of milk, rub two
tablespoons of cornstarch
smooth with cold milk and add
to scalded milk. Stir until it
thickenS. Beat three eggs light
without separating; add one cup
Of sugar and beat until light.
Add the scalded milk to the
sugar and eggs, stirring all the
time. Then return to the dou-
BILE boiler and cook until it
thickens. Take from the fire,
add a pinch of salt and a tea
spoonful of vanilla extract.
PuffS may be filled with sweet
ened whipped cream if pre-
terred.
Household
Hints
Ice cubes can be made attrac-
tive by freezing maraschino
cherries or other fruit or mint
leaves in the water. Put just a
little water in the tray, add the
cherries, fruit or leaves, and
when partially frozen add more
water and freeze. You can keep
bread sauce from turning yellow
if you omit the salt until the
sauce is finished.

Pool of Blood on Floor
It's Just a "WOIf" Cru.

Kitchener hopping up a small pool Of
blood from the floor. Outside, the two
men joined now by two others, jumped
into a black sedan and drove rapidly
on, SIS the richer. To a casual OBJ

male wolf, fat from the mutton of
farmers whom he had raided in his
several years of depredations in the
Hutton vicinity. Ober and his COM
panionS began the hunt one morning at
IL O'Clock when they ran across the
animals tracks in the snow. Several
times within the next few hours they
spotted the wolf, but not until about
4 p. m. did they get within shooting

No Free Trees Furnished
By State, Says Foster.

A news item has been going the
rounds of some Minnesota publications
indicating that the state conservation
department is prepared to furnish free
Seeding trees to farmers from state
owned nurseries.
In answer to letter of inquiry, E. A.
Foster, director of the division of for
estry in tn conservation department
said:
eve have no specific authority to dis
tribute either hardwood or SoftWood
stock to farmers from state nurseries.
1t is one of the things that is most
needed in the way of forestry legisla-
ton, and one of the things we will work
hardest to obtain"
Farmers who want to plant trees will
have to find a nursery that will sell
the seeding sat a reasonable price.
Minnesota is one of the two states in
the Union which does not provide
planting stock at cost from state or fed
eral nurseries for windbreak and wood
lot planting. The government pays
half the cost of producing such plant
ing stock in states that cooperate.

DiOgenes!
Honest Man Here.

st. Peter-Diogenes can end his hunt
for an honest man, for he has been
found in this city. Last week, j. A.
Lundquist lost his wallet, containing
a considerable sum of money. The bill
fold had no means of Identification in
it and contained nothing but money.
Thomas Kehoe found the wallet and
watched the local papers ads for several
days for notice which might identify
the owner. Then one day the ad ap-
peared telling the finder to leave the
wallet for a reward. Kehoe was told
the name of the loser. Immediately he
walked off to personally present the
wallet. Needless to say, Lundquist was
pleased with his advertising results.

DIR. Wilder Asks for Truth
In Food Advertising.

Truthful advertising of food products
is one of the best means of providing
the public with the information needed
to better understand nutrition, DR.. R.
M. Wilder, chief of the department of
medicine of the Mayo Foundation, de-
clared in an address at the University
Of Minnesota recently.
"Perverse advertising regarding the
properties Of food products is HARM
full not only to the public but also to
the majority of the food trade which
attempts to deal fairly with the people, "
said DR.. Wilder. '"The power of adj
vertising is terrific. 1t speaks and the
whole world listens. The money spent
exceeds billion dollars, and food
advertising represents substantial part
of it.
"If this tremendous power could be
turned to the socially useful purpose of
disseminating truthful information
about foods, our people could be made
into the healthiest and most vigorous
men and women the world has ever
known
DR.. Wilder, a member of the Council
on Foods of the American Medical
] Association, also cautioned the layman
to beware of the so-called health foods
and that housewives look for the Seal
of Acceptance of the Council on all
packages.
The Council asks manufacturers oil
food products, distributors and others
interested in the promotion of processec
foods, for which claims are made ir
relation to the promotion or mainten.
ance of good health to present theil
product and its advertising to it. If the
product conforms to certain standard.
it is accepted.
DR.. Wilder also declared that foot
faddiStS have sometimes built up un.
justifiable cases against certain fooS
products which have hurt these indus
tries Some cereal products such a.
bread were given as examples in thi
instance.

Forgotten" Deposits
In Bank Total So. 10.

Sleepy Eye-Seldom does one hear of
depositor leaving money in the bank
and then forgetting it, but that ap-
parently is what happened in two in
stances at local bank. More than ten
years ago when Frank Kaiser lived in
Sleepy Eye he placed on deposit $43.16
and later left the city without claiming
the money. Similarly, the Sleepy Eye
Mills left $14.03 on deposit at the time
that concern ceased operating. Like
wise this amount has never been with
drawn from deposit and the company
has long ceased to exist. Forgotten de-
posts are not uncommon, but such de-
posts usually amount to only few
cents.
