DEMANDS MADE BY CONVENTION
GOVERNING EXCHANGE OF GIFTS
,Why the Rule Forbidding: Anything Really Use
ful to Be Received by the Well-Bred Girl?
She Who Laughs and She Who Smiles
WHEN1 Owen Johnson wroto "Tlio
Salamnndcr" several years ngo ho
told of tho means used by a certain class
of girls to exist more than that, to live
on virtually nothing a year. How
when theso girls received lutgo boxes ot
orchids, they made an arrangement with
tho florist whereby they woro permitted
to return tho Ilowors to him, receiving
for thorn a small sum to bo used In pay
ing tho long-ovcrduo rent. When boxes
of costly sweets arrived from n Fifth live
nuo establishment tho card was removed
and tho boxes exchanged for tho actual
necessities of life.
This Is all very well for that typo of
girl. Perhaps alio can do It without
singeing her wings although personally
I doubt it.
But I have often wondered nt tho per
versity of tho domands made by conven
tion In tho caso of tho young girl who,
although of good birth and position and
possessed of many acquaintances, is sadly
lacking In this world's goods. 1 havo In
mind ono girl who Is having a struggle
to make ends meet. Sho recolved no less
than twenty pounds ot expenslvo choco
lates in no less expenslvo boxes and bas
kets on Christmas. Altogether the sum
represented must havo been considerable,
yet this girl Is actually in need of clothes.
But, unlike tho little salamander, she
can only pretend to bo delighted over
each and every box.
TTAVE you over stopped to think of the
difference in emotion expressed by
tho laugh nnd tho smile? Some one said
the other day in speaking ot ft woman
alio knew, "Sho never laughs." True, but
sho does smile.

whtctt comprises large and small perforation.
Until lately I have used the common method
ot cleaning It with soap and hot water. In a

unsatisfactory, unit! I thought of a. newer and
mora expedient plan. Here It Is simple, satis
factory, successful: When the tlner perforations
ofyour grater become clogged with dried fruit,
lemon or orange peel, or. In fact, any other
residue of former operations, take a crust of
hard bread or cake and rub It gently up and
down the perforations. In less than five min
ute the grater will bo cleaned.

MY MARRIED LIFE,
By ADELK GARRISON
How Madge fried to lianish Katie's Strange Old-World
Superstition
T h:
1 Ki
ftltl Hot know whether to be angry at
Cntto of sorry for Iter when sho told
tne that alio mttnt toave my service If Blrky's
mother came, bea'tisp site did not dure to
Bleep In tho houso with an old woman.
Katie evldenllv knew what sho was talk
ing almttt. hut t confessed lo myself that J
was thoroughly bewildered. I have hail
many curious experiences with the mental
twists of nllen Ktfla of Katie's class,
but
this was something new
"What do you mean, Kntlc?" 1 asked,
finally. "What harm can It possibly do you
to sleep m the house with an old woman?"
Kntle shuddered Visibly.
'Hi. Missis rlraham, don't yon know old
wtiitu-n dm turn Into witches, make charms
tuer you. nctt morning you nil dead? I
no sleep In house with my own inuddor
when nhe get real old."
"Katie, you am talking the mosf ridicu
lous nonsense." t Rnld shnrply, for 1 was
not only annoyed, hut nlnrmed at the gross
Ignorance and superstition the girl dis
played. A person holding such Idens as
hers was really undesirable In one's home.
"Von mi (Ink dot?" Kntlu queried anx
iously. "Of course not," t returned. "Neither
does nnjtiody eltw who has any rnmmoti
sense Wherever did you pick up stich fool
Ish Ideas?"
"Lots of girls nnd women In my town
say so." Katie answered sullenly.
I had a sudden Inspiration. "Listen to
me, Katie." I said firmly, trying to chooso
words which she would understand. "Who
were tho blggott men In your town, the
smartest, the ones tho rest of tho people
tried lo he hko?"
Katie looked at inn ns If sho thought t
hud suddenly guno Insnne.
"Why, tlio priest and the doctor nnd
the "
"You don't need lo tell me nny more," I
Interrupted her. "Did your priest or your
doctor ever tell you old women turned Into
witches."
"Xo-o." The admission camo from her
reluctantly. I knew tho power of these
old-world Btipcrstltlnnn and revived to say
no more about the matter for ti while.
"We will talk more about thin Inter,
Katie," I said calmly. 'Must now 1 want
to speak to you about getting thu npnrt
ment In perfect order so when Mrs. (Jrnh.'im
Comes she will think I have had it good
little housekeeper."
Katie smiled brightly. "I feex- so-o nice."
she said heaitlly "Vut you want wo to
clean first?"
WHAT Wtl.t. DICKY SAY?
"Let's lake all tho corners nnd closets
first." 1 suggested. I hnd all the horror of
the oterage young hourokeoprr for tho erlti
I'lsm of an older woman. "Take everything
off the pantry shelves" I Indicated the tiny
closot which was just big enough for our
small Icebox, with it set of shelves and
drawers opposite ,"nnd everything nut of
the drawers. Then wash and dry the shelves
and drawers thoroughly When you get
ready lo put tho things back call me. There
may be some things I will want to throw
away, or something I need to buy."
"All right. Missis flraliam. I feex."
The cheery, fninlllar phrnso followed me
Lack to the living room. I sank Into my
big armi'hulr troubled and bewildered
What I should do without Katie I did
not know. She had been with me only a
short time, but she was no elllulent, so
cheery, so willing, thut housekeeping had
been an easy lask with her. I dreaded
unutterably either trying tho housework
myself or breaking In a new maid under
the critical eyes of Dicky's mother.
I wondored what Dicky would say to
Katie's defection. I Jo had Insisted upon
my keeping her because sho was the model
he wished of a pieturo entitled "Poland"
which ho hud begun years before, when
Katie had dono the houemvork fur a bach
elor npaitment which Dicky shaied Willi
three other nitists t know thai Katlo
looked up to Dicky ns to some auperlor be
ing. Perhaps he would be ublo to reason
her out nf her superstition. If ho camo
home to lunch I resolved to tell him about
Katie's resolve.
In the meantime there was much thut
HOUSEHOLD HELPS
How to Light Your
WK AHB all fairly agreed thut the pleas
nntest light Is not the direct glare or
gas. oil lamp or electric bulb over our eyes,
hut what Is called tho "indirect" or "seml
ludirect" forms or lighting.
The "Indirect lighting" Is tho system
whereby thu electric bulbs are kept In an
Inverted opaquo buwl, and as tho direct
raya of tho bulbs ore thus thrown upward
there is no glaro on thu eyea, but the light
is gently suffused ubout tho room from
above.
Tlfe "semi-Indirect" system of lighting
U somewhat simllur, except that the in
verted bowl Is not so opaquo, but permits
somo light to be reflected downward.
The most common tjpes ot glnsa bowls
used for this purpose ure tho whlto composi
tion glaBs familiar to us all. nut there am
Borne novel Ideas In these bowls which aro
especially adapted to tho homo nnd which
may ilnd moro faor with tho liomemaker
than even some of the beautiful whlto ones,
because the latter are Identified In many
peoplo's minds with commercial lighting,
tit course, the commercial bowls aro stand
ardized in pattern, nnd those for home
uto ure usually more ornato and beautiful.
Xow, however, we seo that wo can use
many other styles of "bowls" In this way
Ono of tho prettiest effects seen in une
homo was simply a bruwn wicker basket
of the workbasket shape, lined with yellow
silk. This was suspended from tho celling
by thick cord stained brown to match the
brown wicker, und gave n gay. outdoor ulr
to the city living room. Theso brown
wicker baskets are not expensive, and one
clever housekeeper bought a basket of the
required size In natural color, und stained
and lined it herself. For the country cot
tage where J here is electricity this is mobt
appropriate and lovely.
Another unique effect was seen In a very
beautiful home whero Japanese furnishings
and coloring prevailed. Instead of the con
ventional chuva bowl fur tho electric bulbs,
u gay parasol with a long handle was used.
Tho narusol was suspended from the ceiling,
by what looked like a wide ribbon, and In"
Which the electric wiring was cunningly
concealed. Two or three tiny parasols wire-
placed horizontally near tho wall over the
wall bockets and the whole effect was ex
ceedlngly novel und pretty.
Very often somo unusually lovely Ideas
ore developed by getting away from tho
usual lamp and lamp shade Ideas and'
adapting something entirely different. Thus
In one home a very unique blue lamp was
made by the liomemaker herself.
This Inventive lady wanted a larivj china-
lamp of certain snapo ana couiu not una

her search became the more determined
was she to obtain what she wanted. Final
ly however, she had to give up. Hut it
was only when a new idea occurred to her.

my belongings.
KATIIl'S VKIIY noot) 8t:crRfiTtON
The bed. of course, would have to stay
where It was. Kortunately. 1 had a R"!
supply of bed linen and dresei- scarfs.
Ot course, 1 could talso nil the personal
belongings from my dressing table.
Dlcky'R mother would havo her own things,
I know,
t began to dismantle my dressing table
with a heavy heart. It wns foolish. 1 knew',
to start rearranging things so soon, but If
I had lo change things around I wanted
to have it over with.
Uut when I had laid my toilet articles
and tho other belongings of my dressing
lablo on tho bed nnd had put the Unci;
scarf Into tho hamper of soiled clothing, 1
had a sudden thought
Where wns I to put these things nnd tho
contents of mv chlffotinler drawers? I had
said grandly to Dlelty that I Would dress
In the bathroom, but there was no place
thoro to put my things. 1 had also said
that t would rent a room In the building
for myself, but In my henrt I knew that
t would nover do It.
When Dicky, only a few ovenlngs before,
had proposed to turn over his bank ac
count to mo, I to take charge of till our ex
penditures, I had determined lo ru.i things
ns economically us possible. Thu added
rental ot another room was not to bo
thought of. I felt, mo, Unit Ihe purchase
of n dressing tublo or chllYotinlor for my
self would be an expense I would not core
to Incur.
Hut, In tho meantime, whut wns I to tin
with my things? As If In answer to my
tltiestloii, Kiltie, npiioared In tho doorway.
"Wot you doing. Missus tlralium?" shu
usked In wide-eyed amazement.
"I mil trying lo decide whero to put my
things, Katie." I replied helplessly. "You
see, 1 am going to givo Mr, (.irnham's
mother this room."
"Whero you sleep?" Katie looked bel
ligerent. "I nm going to sleep on a couch bed hi
tho dining room," I returned. I felt llko n
child being catechized by Its teacher. "I
will dress In the bathroom, but I do not
know whero tu put my things. 1 tin not
want to buy a new thlffonnler. There is
no loom for anything but a t-lilffunlor in
tho bathroom, and it will look so out of
place In there."
Katie was silent for a minute, evidently
tinning over thu problem In her mind.
"I tell you vot," sho said excitedly nt
last. "You know dot second-hand store
right down tho street, around corner, two
blocks?
"I know man In dere. 1 seo pretty old
ting dero cheap, because one drawer

"Katie, you aro a genius," I replied en
thusiastically. "I'll glvo you thu money
now. and you may go any time this morn
ing and buy the chest of drawers. I will
get tho stuff for tho curtains this after
noon." "All right." Katlo turned townrd the
kitchen, hesitated, turned back und bluitcd
out;
"It tinno of my business, but I tlnk Mees

Handy Clothespin Holder
A modified type of clothespin bog Is seen
In the house furnishings stores. It Is a well
made bag of crash, with a hook at tho top
which slides along thu clothesllno as tho
bag Is needed, so preventing constant stoop
ing to pick up pins. In addition, It has n
galvanized tray underneath, so that pins can
bo readily grabbed nnd used.

MERIDALE
BUTTER
And because it ia made
in one creamery instead
of a dozen ; because it
is made under the most
careful supervision, in a

comes to you sweet,
pure and wholesome,

laws of naturo and or beauty for nny per
son to stay up until the "wee sma houra
night after night and not mittcr any 111
cousfiiuenres. To brcnlt the eight-hour-sleep
law meant, that the bulldlng-up proc

tissues under your skin tecnlvo less am
less nourishment, and soon their starved
condition will bo apparent In tho ilabby,

will talto many, many hours of pat lent
treatment to restore the skin to Its norma
condition, ami In many Instances It will
never regain Its origin"! beauty no matter
how persistent you may bo In massaging
and feeding tlio starved tissues.
"r'ATCit ui" on sli:l:i'
The only sensible thing lo do when you
keep late hours Is to make up tho lost
sleep by going to bed early tho following
night. P'lrst cleanse your fnco thoroughly
by bathing It In warm water and it bland
tioap. then tunssago It with bkln fond, leav
ing a coating of the cream on the skin
during tho night. This will glvo tho tis
sues a chanco to absorb tho nourishing
oils.
If you wish to preserve tlio delicate
coloring and tho velvety texture or your
skin you must bo most careful what you
eat lato ut night. Welsh rabbits, broiled
lobster, deviled crabs and so on may be
pleasing to your palate, but they almost
Invariably play hnvoo with one's complex
ion and digestion when eaten so lato at
night. Mat lightly of vegetablo or fruit
halntls or sandwiches. Hefraln from drink
ing any beverages with the exception of
lemonade, table water and milk.

Ritlguo lobs tho eyes of their beauty
moro quickly than any other feature. To
prcservo the star-llko brilliancy of your
eyes you must batho them with a sooth

you havo been out late. Thero Is nothing
heller than a saturated solution of boraclo
acid, t'so an ej-o cup when bathing tho
eyes.
Another sign of physlcnl exhaustion Is
loss of flesh. Tho moment you notlco that

Ho lazy for two or three weeks. It Is
foolish for any woman to mnko her.'olf a
