Sewer Work
Is Pressed

Work is being pressed in the con-
struction of the city's new sewage
disposal plant, and already the lay
ing of mains across certain sections
Of the city to reach the new plant
has been started.
The contractors have been at work
for several months at the site of the
disposal plant. Building operations
there are well under way, and some
Of the tanks are taking shape.
The contract was let last Decem-
Der, and the work is to be complet-
ed and the plant ready for use by
early fall, according to the agree
ment.
Approximately As percent of the
cost is being paid through a PWA
grant, the city issuing bonds for the
remainder. The project, when COM
pleted, will represent an outlay slight
ly IN excess of 100000.
Included in the work are several
sewer lines that are being laid to
serve territory that has not hereto
rore been provided with these IA
cilities. The city itself is financing
this work, which is only a small part
Of the aggregate cost of the activities
now going on.

Newest Lady Book
Is Strictly Modern
In Its Technique

That rumbling noise you lust
neard is not the approach of a
thunderstorm; it's merely Mr.. Cooley
turning over.
You can hardly blame that gen.
tleman who back in the 18th CEN
tury put his time and energy into
creating what is known to all as
"Godey's Lady's Book" for here has
come a satire on that manual which
all good Victorian ladies considered
a guide to suitable behavior. There
is, between the two books, a long
space of time-and a vast difference
in technique.
The first volume contained serious
hints on fashion, cooking, etiquette
and countless other topics of femi-
nine interest and the new one, Cora
Scovil's "Lady's Book" contains
much the same type of material, but
all wrapped up in frivolous 1910
packaging. Edited by Baird Leon
ard and published by Harrison-Hil-
ton Books, Inc, this up-to-date VOL
ume contains fashion stories and
photographs, amusing essays, and
sketches on career women, as well
as a small smattering of recipes,
needlework and bathroom ballads,
Throughout are delightful little
verses to illustrate various phases of
modern life.
Although it will never be taken
seriously, as the best known "Lady's
Book was, it is an amusing volume
of streamlined patter. Read for en-
tertainment, and not as a guide ito
daily living, it will, surprisingly
enough, leave you with a fund of
modern-day information.
Strictly a sophiticate's dish, these
words on the cover give you an idea
of the contents: "A conception of
what Mr.. Cooley might do today"
There seems to be some question as
to what Mr.. G. would say about
that. H. ".

My Neiehbor Says

Don't throw diseased plants
into your compost pile and
then use the compost next
spring in the garden.
Store eggs in "a cool, dry,
clean place. Wipe off any
stains carefully and gently
with a dry cloth. Do not wash
eggs In water unless they are
to be used at once-it will re-
move the delicate outside film
which serves to preserve them.
To remove the smudges from
utensils used over an open flame
rub with crumpled newspapers,
then apply a few drops of kero-
sene to the paper and rub the
kettle until it's clean. Wipe with
more dry papers. Do not let any
OF the kerosene get inside the
kettle. If the smudge is not too
thick it can be removed with a
metal wire pot scraper.

Tuning Piano

Piano authorities recommend that
pianos in home use be tuned four
times year in order to compensate
for the expansion and shrinkages
in strings and soundboard caused by
the change in seasons The sound
board is constructed of thin sheet
OF spruce, which, like all wood, is
affected by climatic variations of
heat and cold, dryness and damp
ness. Because of the greater elas-
ITCHY of new strings, new piano
requires more frequent tuning than
an older one. Keeping a piano in
tune is imperative if child or young
student is to acquire true concep-

All of us love good value for our
money-and all of us want the best
and most helpful cosmetics-so
when we find the two combined it's
a real treat.
Such delightful combinations have
been coming to our attention lately
both in the form of special offer

also in excellent new products
which are we'll worth their price

In the former category there is a
special offer being made this week
that we think is most outstanding
A firm famous for its fine quality
cosmetics is making a timely sug-

ever seen beautifully cared-for

know how important it is to watch
out for the latter.
This week the firm is offering a
jar of throat cream at less than
one-third of the usual price! Now
there is real value for your money
and a chance to get the same high
quality product with much less
strain on the budget. The severe
neckllnes in day and evening clothes
this season demand that YOU show
we'll cared for, smooth and firm
throatline, and this cream, made of
rich oils, is excellent as a lubricant
to be used in throat massage and
exercise.
The cream is left on for Is min

that while the cream is on you drop

Wedding
Problems
Invite Friends to
Postponed Rites
By Short Notes
BY EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post: My wedding was
postponed on account of illness.
The engraved invitations had al
ready been mailed, but we had cards
printed announcing the postpone
ment. 1t is almost six months since
then, and I'm going to be married
next month. Must we now 60 to the
expense Of reordering engraved in
vltations? And, Mrs. Post, another
difficulty is that, instead of carrying
out our original plans, we now can
have only a small wedding and have
just the families and few of our
best friends. What I really want to
ask is how we can leave out the
many people on the first list with
out hurting their feelings?
AnSWer-1n answer to the first
part of your letter, since you must
now cut down on the list, you either
write to or tell the few to be in
vited when and where the wedding
is to be. Since you are being mar
rled quietly, no one of your less in
innate friends can possibly feel hurt.
In fact, they will know that were
you having larger wedding, as you
had first intended, they would have
been invited.
Dear Mrs. Post: (a) At a church
wedding, what is expected of the
sexton? (b) And will you also tell
me what are the duties of the head
usher?
Answer-(a) The sexton is "in
charge" at the church. He sees that
everything is in order, hands the
boutonnieres to the ushers and-al-
though this is the duty of the best
man-sometimes carries the BRIDE
groom's hat and stick from the YES
try to the front entrance. (b) Usu-
ally the head usher" is merely the
usher designated to escort the moth
ers-particularly the brides mother
up the aisle. However, sometimes
this is also an especially reliable
friend or relative whom the BRIDE
groom asks to see that all details are
carried out.
