A Point in
Etiquette
MAKING OUR HABITS HELP
'1‘ ought to be a pleasant thought
I for the housewife. that our pre-
Judices and taste in food are to a.
considerable extent the result of
habit. Accustom your family to a
simple diet of wholesome. nourish-
ing, easily proposed food and they
will prefer it to any other sort. On
the other hand if you accustom
them to an elaborately cooked. over
rich. expensive diemry they will
soon grow to dislike the simple fare.
"I never liked vegetables. I wish
I did.” is a remark‘you often hear.
It might be put in these words: “I
was not brought up with the right
food habits and even when I realised
in later life that vegetables were
wholesome and beneflCial I did not

said. "She seems to have become

He broke off, and grew almost as

Vin! school mistress knows
that one way to gain the ap-
proval of the more conserva-
tive mothers is to announce rather
strict rules and ugulatlons regard-
ing the clothes that the pupils may
wear in Libs class room. The better
class boarding schools. many of
them. have gone into such specific
detail in this matter that the girls
are almost in uniform. Probably it
doesn't make such an enormous dif-
ference to the school principals and
teachers as they assume that it does.
But they know that the idea is
abroad in the land—that of simpli-
fying the school dress of young girls
--e.nd they know that the idea will
never appeal unless they are quite
strict in enforcing it. Even the
girls themselves are usually in
favor. Nor surely the reaction has
set in against the over-dressed
young girl. Mappers there may still
be. but they are very trim little nap-
pers. with hair aleekly combed and
brushed. not the girls with Booth

years ago. *
The boyish tailored sack suit is
especially liked as a school uniform.
and the sketch shows a suit that has
been adopted as the every-day attire
of one of the old and well-known
country schools. There is room
enough for individual taste in the
choice of races-cries -— necktie,
blouse. scarf. hat. shoes and stock-
ings—but a‘ simple small hat and
stout walking shoes and wool stock-
ings are insisted upon.
Once that sort of uniform would
have been looked upon as quite
hopeless. Now it is distinctly smart.
As weeks pass it becomes more ap-
parent, too, that the tailored suit of
the rather boyish description is go-
ing to occupy an important place in
spring wardrobes. Women in the

WISE AND
OTHERWISE
o by usev. nascent ,
m HABIT 0F LEISURE
El old idea very frankly used
to be that there was a dis-
tinct connection between
courtesy and good manners and
good breeding and leisureliness.
The woman who lived in compara-
tive idleness was the woman who
set the standard of good breeding.
She was genteel if for no other
reason than simply because shat
was leisurely. and the rest of
wohaukind in every stratum of
society did their best to imitate
her manners and her habits. In
short. she was a lady. and to be
a lady was the ambition of the
majority of womankind.
It is only recently. compare.-
tively. that we have changed our
ideas as far as women are con-
cerned. and of course there are
some women who still feel that
active work for wages in some way
robs them of their claim to good
breeding. Men. however. have
been emancipated from this
leisure idea longer. But it has
not always been so. Once it was
accounted something of a disgrace
for a man to know how to read
and write. That was the work
of poor monks and churchmen—
kuights and gentlemen and noble—
men busted themselves with light-
ing and such noble sports. If
they wished to have something
written they employed a scribener
to do it for them. and if they
wished to have some writing de-
eiphered they applied to the same
humble retainer.
Even a hundred years ago it
was deemed unworthy of a gentle-
man to be a professional musician.
and one reason put forth in a '
book of manners written in those
days why a gentleman should not
wear short finger nails was that if
he did it might be supposed that
he "got his bread by fiddling.”
Even fifty years ago young
ladies were warned not to walk
fast in the street—for fear that
some one might suppose that they
were employed at something and
were therefore in a huiky. The
idea that their manner was sup-
posed to imply that they were ob
terly indolent. And as a result
the leisured manner was con-
sidered the well bred manner. and
any young woman. even though
she did work for a living. if she
wished to have the manners of a
lady always managed somehow so
that she need not walk rapidly
when she went to and came from
her work. Now. of course, the
woman of leisure finds something
to do. She likes to take with her
a manner of being very busy and
so she often put; in hours a day
of work in some pet charity.
PRUNE VARIETY
Don't run the stewed prune into
the ground early in the season. Re-
member that this is a housewife's
friend in need and may be served
throughout the winter to advantage.
Plain stewad prunes are delicious.
but they should be served not too
often. so that nobody will tire of
them. Serve prunes in other ways.
Stewed Prunes.
Beak prunes three or four hours.
At «bedtime wash and put' them in a

to stand till morning. stew them
in this second water with a small
quantity of sugar. They cook very
