WOMAN’S PAGR Waste and Saving for Family BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. N these days when every one is try- ing to make each penny stretch to Ms uttermost, it is well to consider every trifling cause of waste in foods, in materials and every house- thold item. It is amazing how little griblets here and there make inroads on §OOD LEFT ON ONE'S PLATE IS WASTED, d e family purse. The old Irish adage ‘Mony ilya mickle makes & muckle” is ¥ndeed true. . Leaving uneaten food on one’s plate fnay be because the appetite suddenly ops, and to eat more would be a bad for the health. But to get into the Habit of taking more than one can eat g.m easy thing to do.

Needles and pins, snaps, buttons, etc., | ot properly put away usually get lost, and their cost is wasted. ‘Without being miserly or disagreeably “close,” it is possible to watch one’s little wasteful ways. and mend them. Also children should be taught to con- serve, It is wise to practice for thrifty ways rather than scold for wasteful ones. More heed will be given to praise than censure. (Copyright, 1931.)

BY MILDRED MOCKABEE. spub ke 0L IS writer immediately places himself as an ultra-conservative type. He is probably cautious and careful, almost to a fault, fearing to adopt new or revo- lutionary ideas. His writing, though not especially beautiful, is precise and exact. All of the letters are carefully formed and evenly ed. He seems the kind of person who demands quiet and calm. Confusion and noise, even though expressing a time of relaxation and enjoyment, would irritate him. It would be impossible for him to do his best work in a crowded place. In order to produce really worthwhile efforts, he would apparently need a quiet room, detached from all activity. ‘This exactness, coupled with his very vertical writing. denotes a very reserved person. He possibly finds it hard to make friends. It may be that he has formed & habit of withdrawing into himself in order to avoid disturbing con- tacts. The very long upper loops, par- ticularly of “k,” denote a naturally kindly, perhaps altruistic nature. His sympathies normally are easily touched, but, because of his apparent custom of restraining any emotional expression, he may be considered cold-hearted. He does not seem to be the leader type. His abilitles would be valued in a large organization, however. Here it is always necessary to have some one tie up the many loose ends and attend to the many details. For this work an intelligent, well trained individual is necessary. He would be especially fitted to hold such a position. It would never |be feared that he would neglect any duty, no matter how_small or seem- ingly insignificant. By familiarizing himself with the best business theory he should be able to command & con- sistently good position.

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER. 'HREE men, about whom little or nothing was heard during the re- cent visit of Premier Laval to Wash- ington, perhaps were as responsible as any of the others in making the French leader’s visit run smoothly. , Their duties were most exact- ing. They prob- ably put in more hours before and during Laval's visit than any one else. The three men are what one might call the Government’s ex- perts on etiquette. Their names are , Warren Delano s Rol , ceremo- nial officer of the White House; Charles Lee Cooke, master of ceremonies for the State De- partment, and- Herbert Feis, economic adviser to the State Department. It was their lot to see that every- thing went off according to protocol while Laval was in Washington. Or more simply stated, it was up to them to see that the correct thing was done at the correct time and in the correct manner. The mass of details and worry heaped on these men during the four days the French premier was in the Capital was heavy. And the fact that in Washington at the same time were four distinguished visitors, here for the Yorktown celebration, made it one of the hardest assignments they have ever had. Especially was this true for Robbins and Cooke. Robbins was exhausted when it was | all over.
