WHAT PARTICULAR TROLLEY

Different Varieties of Rudeness One Encounters
Almost Every Day While Riding in
Public Conveyances
WHAT particular form .of street-car
rudeness Is most abhorrent to you?
Or perhnps you are one of those who
make life mlaorable for other passengers.
Notwithstanding the fact that motors
are In such common uso theso days, there
aro still n. few fastidious persons who
through circumstances over which they
have no control are obliged to ride dally
Jn tho trolley cars. And although the
transit company has rules and rcRUlutloni
for the comfort and convenience of Its
patrons, many of ub nro made most un
happy by tho rudeness of a few passen
gers. There Is tho fat woman who crabs one
of tho coveted side seats, then places a
buhdlo between herself and tho window,
glaring at any one who chooses tho seat
bcsldo her and rcf'Jslng to malto room.
Howover, In a case llko this ono can ooze
over Into the nlsle, whereas If you happen
to bo tho one sitting on the Insldo and ono
of these human "hogs" takes tho scat ho

Is nothing to do hut to go out tho window.

two unfortunates on each sldo of her and
her hips aro bulgy. Sho is not only prov
ing a source of great discomfort to you,
but when sho finally moves you ilnd your
coat Is all pressed Into creases on the
ido whoro sho landed.
Then there Is the man who stands over
you and neglects to fasten his heavy ovor
coat so that with each lurch of tho car
tho edge of his coat brushes your face.
Or tho ono who spreads his nowspnper

(I) Tho place for a stock pot Is on the
stove. The stock, however, should nut be
allowed to accumulate for moro than two
or three days. Then tho pot should bo
emptied out and cleaned und a fresh sup
ply started. (2) If a house is already In
fested with ants they would naturally beeU
the sugar; otherwise there should be no
danger. The safest thing to do is to set tho
barrel on a raised platform which Is sun
ported by castors; these castors can each
be set In small receptacles containing Ucro
gene or canphor, and this will lteep any
Insects away. (3) Tin makes a very satis
factory receptacle. (4) Yea, If directions
are followed carefully. (5) After killing the
lobster by cutting off the tail Just where it
Joins the body, divide it lengthwise in two
equal parts, shell and all; then remove tho
coral, the stomach and the long Intestine
and crack the claws. (6) After soaking a

until tender, remove the Btones and chop
them to a pulp. Make a meringue of tho
whites of five eggs and three heaping table
spoonfuls of powdered sugar; turn the
prunes Into this, then put the mixture into a
buttered baking dish and bake for fifteen or
twenty minutes. Serve with whipped cream.
(7) Many families of three, with careful

using about a pint of tho meal. Have ready
two quarts of boiling salted water, and
Into it stir the meal. Cook hard for an
hour and a half, beating It occasionally.

Tea at Hotel '
To .e Editor of IVomau'e i'acrc;
Dear Madam Is It proper to go to a hotel
for afternoon tea with a young man after a

Your mother Is. of course, right. It Is
neither usual nor proper for a young girl
to go alone to a hotel for tea with a young
man. But there are chaperons at the
danaants at several of the hotels, and In
that case it would be allowable.

MY MARRIED .LIFE
By ADELE GARRISON
AS I cntfrcd the floor or tho tea room I
rihf.tvctl a RlBh of relief. The pMro was
deserted save for a smiling younrtt' woman,
evidently tho inannRcr, who nunc forward
to meet me. I was very glad that Mrs
Smith hail lint yet arrived, for I hale to
bo the last comer fnr any appointment.
-Ilnvo you nhy preference as to tables?"
Tho soft, genfo voice ot tho manager or
wnltrrss, whichever sl might be, matched
ntt- appearance, Slight, sweet-tnecti, witn
wailng brown hair untitled quietly about
her head, sho W(is very attractive.
"I think t should like this one near the
window nnd facing the door," 1 replied.
"1 do not wish to order yet, however, nnd
have n InmlncbM appointment here with ti
woman whom J have never seen. When
she arrives 1 will order."
"Very well." Sho handed me a menu
card nnd went unobtrusively back to a
corner, where she busied herself with some
writing.
I barely had time to look at the Immense
fireplace with Its red chimney breast nnd
Its old nndlror.i, which nearly filled one
end of the room and wnB evidently the
prale nf the establishment, before ! saw
a woman enter the door itml look around
her as If In search of some one.
The waitress hurried forward to meet
her, but she Waved her aside and came
toward the table where I was seated.
"Pardon me, arc you SIiv. tlrnham?" she
asked suavely.
"I nin." I returned, rising t- greet her,
"and you are Mrs. Smith, ore you not?"
"Yes; t do hope I haven't kept you
waiting?"
"No, Indeed, t arrived lew thnti five
minutes ago."
"I um so r ad. Suppose we order now
and Bet It off our minds. Then we can
discuss our business st our leisure."
''That will ho very nice." I tried to
make my tone us flatly conventional as
was her own. She was n little too trans
parent. 1 t hour. hi, in her endeavor to be
conventionally courteous against her In
clination. J oaw that she had not yet
forgiven me for declining to break an en
gagement with Hicky Irt order to meet her
after she had canceled our original ap
pointment cm a most trivial pretext.
tii i-s MweiiKo.v uiintir:
Sho p'eked up the menu card nnd, open
ing u beautiful Jeweled lorgnette, scanneii
the Items through It. I had In admit that
she was n stunning woman, tall, stately,
gray-haired, with eyes and complexion that
many a girl might envy. She was ex
quisitely dressed, too ; quietly, in street
costume, hut every detail of her gowning
spelled not only wealth but rellnptnntit.
"Let mo iter, this Is W'ednesdny," she
said, turning tn the back of the card, whero
a list of specialties served on different days
was given. "This In the day on whlrh they
servo llsh In shells. Their deviled crab
meat Is ileltclour. 'Wmild you like tn try
It?"
Her manner said In effect. "I am going
to order crab meat. If you do not wish
any. It shows your Ignorance " I do not
suppose Khe meant to be rude nr to neglect
consulting my preferences as to the menu.
Dut I could see Hint she hud been a dic
tator among women so long Hint the habit
f taking things Into her own hands clung
to her even when she wa. unaware ot it.
"I am very fund of deviled i-rnh meat,"
I returned. "If you ran recommend this 1
shall bo very glad tn try It. Hut t do not
wish anything else nave ti cup of tea, or,
I think I will hike enrfee with my llsh. I
lunched before leaving home "
"Very well." Then, t t lie waitress:
"Two orders nf deviled crab meat In shells,
one order of French-filed potatoes, ono
order of that salad of asparagus tips you
gave me the other day, remember!" she
shot tho quest Ion at the girl as if It had
been a bullet.
"Perfectly, madam."
"Then two orders of those crisp little
tea rolls, two pots of coffee, and I'll decide
upon my dessert later. Will you have tho
order hurried?"
"I'll do my best." The young woman
vanished Into a door underneath thu old
staircase. My eyes followed her with
pleasure.' She was so quiet, so clllolcnt, so
good to look upon that I rolt tho llttlo
restaurant was to bo congratulated upon
having her.
Mrs. Smith's eyes followed mine.
"She's quite unusual," she said, answer
ing my unspoken thought "Fancies her- j
self a bit above her station, I imagine, but
sno uoesn't let it Interfere with her work."
THU "MOUEST" lUOMLWKHATIO.V
I began to dislike Mrs. Smith. Tho young
woman Who had taken our order was no
ordinary waitress. Her voice was as soft,
her manner of speech as cultured, her np
pearance us refined as Mrs. Smith's own.
Vet the tone In which tho older, richer
woman had spoken wus full of snobbery
and of a patronage which made mo most
uncomfortable
"As I explained In my letter," sho began,
"the Lulus Study flub has decided to liavo
a history section for the latter pait of this
yeur, antl we shall probably wish to con
tinue It next year. If it proves successful.
There will bo one afternoon each week de
voted to It. "We should llko you to tako
the leadership of It, If wo can agree as to
terms."
"What particular branch of history do
jou wish to take up?" 1 asked. "History
is rather a large onl.-i, you know."
"I know that," hitf replied impatiently.
"But I think you will be expected to out
line your own course. This Is only nn ex
periment which wo are conducting because
a number of tho members havo requested
such a course.
"Personally, I do not oare for It I think
we have enough problems of today to study
withou delving Into the past. Hut many
of the members have been reading; about
tuo war, unu tnoy wish to study about the
countries Involved."
"Oh, I see." 1 said, suddenly enlightened.
"You wish to tako up brlelly enough of the
history of the countries at war to under
stand the reason for the great struggle."
"I don't wish to tako up anything." she
replied wearily, 'hut tho women who want
to Join tho course wish Just that. If you
can outline your courses, naming some
easily accessible books of references, and
bo ready to start a week from next Wednes
day at 2 o'clock I shall bo very glad. The
course will bo one of slxteenweeks, one
lecture each week. Next year.l If wo con
tinue It, It will bo Just twice bb long"
I did not know whether I was expected
to reply to Mrs. Smith or not. . I soon saw
that she had something more to say.
"Now as to compensation," she said brisk
ly. "I am authorized to offer you 20 per
lecture. I know that It Is not what you
might get from an older or richer club, but
It Is all we can offer."
I was silent for a moment. I aid not
wish Mrs. Smith to know how delighted I
was with the amount of money offered
- minis mat win ue satisfactory for
this season at least," I said at last. '
"Very well then. The first meeting, of
course, will be merely an Introduction and
an outlining of your plan of study, so X will
not need to trouble you again. If you will
be at the clubrooms at half-after 1 the first
day I will meet you and see that you get
started all right. Here comes our luncheon.
Now I can eat in peace,"
Her whole manner said, 'Wow I am
through with you."
But I felt that I cared as little for her
opinion of m as she evidently did of mine
for her.
Twenty dollars a week was worth a little
sacrifice).

HOUSEHOLD HELPS
How to "Dry
IF YOU havo a delicate fabric or garment
to bo cleaned, the safest way Is to send
It to a professional cleaning establishment.
Hut very often It happens that you hav
nil old garment or blanket, etc., not good
enough to spend anything nn for cleaning,
nnd yet too good to throw away. Hero Is
where a little knowledge of safe "dry clean
ing" at humo Is a decided economy.
"Dry cleaning," of course, does not mean
that no II u 111 Is used. It Is simply tho
term for any cleaning of innlerlals outsldo
of laundering. Fuller's earth, Hour, corn
meal or French chalk are the powders used
for cleaning grease spots. it may bo
K-raped over the grease spot and permitted
to remain there for several hours, or it
can be made Into a paste with benzine ami
coated over the spot. When dry the powder
is scraped off with a soft brush. For spots
on heavy draperies, upholstery or nus,
whiting, powdered pumlcu or cornmeal can
bo used in tho same way.
If the fabric or garment has n num
ber of spots, the best plan is to clean tho
entiro article rather than try to clean cauh
..pot separately. This latter method is
likely to spot the whole garment In large
Streaks rather than cleanse It.
When cleaning a particular spot, sprinkle
magnesia powder or Fuller's earth around
the stain before applying nny liquid to tho
spot ltseir. The powder will then absorb
much of tho cleansing fluid nnd not permit
It to spread and possibly streak the fabric.
Other -ieansing agents uro gasoline,
naphtha, chloroform nnd benzine, but gaso
line is probably tho best liquid cleanser
of tho kind to use. It evaporates quickly,
Is safe If used outdoors and away from
tiro. lCtlu-r and chloroform, on tho other
hand, while often used by housewives for
cleansing purposes, are most unsafe, for
the vapors mako one unconscious very
quickly, generally too quickly for the aver
ago woman to be able to uso them safely
for eleanliiit nt home. However, there Is
a mixture "hat la comparatively safe, and
that ran bo used for sponging off spots
quickly. This Is made by mixing equal
parts of ether, alcohol and ammonia, nnd
can be kept on the cleaning shelf, tightly
corked, for occasional use.
When cleaning anything with gasoline
be suio to give It two baths, first cleansing
the spots thoroughly and then rinsing off
with clean gasoline. This Is nut neces
sarily expensive or wasteful, becaute the
first gasoline can be filtered ami used
again. Simply pour it through n piece of
tllter paper and tho strained gabolina will
he clean enough to uso again for a first
bath.
When using gasoline be sure to stand
In a good draught, away from flame or
smoke. Rubber gloves will keep the hands
from acquiring the gasoline odor, but even
