YOU CAN BE—without spending any more money
than you can afford.
We have solved the problem of making good
clothes to order at ready-to-wear prices. We have
solved the problem of doing high-class merchant tailor-
ing at prices from $25 to $40.
These are about half the usual pricos charged by
the average merchant tailor.
If we did the small business of the average mer-
chant tailor we would be compelled to charge higher
prices.

SUCCESS FOR HOSTESS
LITTLE MATTERS IN WHICH TACT
COUNTS FOR MUCH.
Without Leaving Home!
Busily engaged at home you may find yourself sud-
denly summoned to a distant city on other business. It is
necessary to be in two places at once.
The telephone solves the problem. By talking over
Long Distance service you can arrange all business in the
distant city and yet remain at home to give full attention to
the duties here.
Long Distance Telephone Service reaches everyone—
at all hours of the day and night.
PIONEER TELEPHONE
AND TELEGRAPH
COMPANY
4/ipm
Francei hurried to the telephone.
"Hello!" she said, brightly. Hut In
minute her voire broke. "No, you
have the wrong number."
She put her pretty head on the tele-
phone table and begun to cry. "Oh,
dear, oh dear! It's always the wrong
number. No one ever wants me. Oh,
dear. I'm so miserable!"
When she had first looked cheerful-
ly at the new white card by the tele-
phone she did not know that the num
ber would be of no consequence to a
solitary soul In Chicago. Occasion-
ally OJeorge. hrr young husband, would
call her up from his office, but usually
all day long Frances stayed In the
apartment with a silent telephone. If
It did ring It was somebody who had
the wrong number.
So Frances cried. She had cried be-
cause she was lonesome, for sho knew
no one In the big city. She cried be-
cause she was tired, homesick and
miserable and because her sobs were
c ompany for her In a sad sort of way,
a bit consoling.
The first few weeks she had not
cried "ne busy and you will be hap-
py," she would say. The tiny flat glis-
tened with cleanliness.
After a while this did not satisfy
her. She had reduced her housework
and marketing to a system and It took
very little time to keep the flat in or-
der. George had seen her dresses
again and again and good dinners
were a matter of course. At first
Frances tried extra housework as an
antidote for loneliness, but after her
violent scrubbing had taken the shine
off the kitchen ware, after she had
broken some vases by needless dust-
ing and spilled furniture polish on the
rug she stopped. Her trousseau was
still new and did not require the at-
tention of sewing or shopping. On the
few occasions she had left her neigh-
borhood she had become lost. She had
always lived in a small town and the
noise of the city streets and the
crowds in the stores confused h«*.
All her experiments had failed. So
Frances cried. In the midst of her
grief the door bell rang.
"A peddler," Frances said, doleful-
ly. She wiped her eyes and opened
the door. It was not a peddler, but a
sweet young woman. f3he carried
some letters.
"I am Mrs. Allen from across the
hall." she said, timidly. "I brought
up your mall."
Frances took the letters mechanical-
ly. Then she noticed that the powder
was suspiciously thick around the eyes
and nose of her visitor. Clearly Mrs.
Allen had been crying, too. Impul-
sively Frances put out her hand.
"I wish you would come In," she
said.
The two tear-stained young women
sat down In the living room. "It was
kind of you to bring the letters,"
Frances began.
"Oh, It's nothing." said Mrs. Allen.
A pause. "I couldn't help seeing that
one letter was addressed to Mrs.
Frances Stevens West. I used to hear
my cousin Eula Thomas talk of a
Frances Stevens, of Plalnfield."
"Oh " cried Frances. "That's I. Is
Kula your cousin? Sho is my best
friend."
"I heard so much about you," de-
clared Mrs. Allen, "I didn't know you
lived In Chicago."
"I haven't very long," said Frances.
"Neither have I," said Mrs. Allen.
"I don't know many people here."
"I don't know any." Frances replied.
"Neither do I," said Mrs. Allen.
"Do you enjoy tho city?" Frances
asked.
"Well," replied Mrs. Allen, "it has
so many advantages. There are so
many things to do and see. The the-
aters and concerts are fine. One does
not waste time over social trivialities."
"Yes," said Frances. "And the mod-
ern conveniences simplify housekeep-
ing so that there is time for the ad-
vantages. I—I like It."
"I don't," declared Mrs. Allen with
decision.
"Neither do I." said Frances, with
sudden decision.
"You see," said Mrs. Allen, growing
confidential. "1 came from a small
town where I knew everybody. I'm
not used to the city and I don't know
my way about There is so little to do
when my husband is away. Why,
sometimes I have asked Central to
ring my telephone to know if it's in
order."
"That's how It is with me," said
Frances. "Don't you want to see my
apartment?"
After the tour of inspection. !n
which Mrs. Allen had been properly
enthusiastic, Frances said timidly: "I
would be so glad if you would stay to
tea."
"I'd love to," she answered, "if you
will let me bring over my fresh cake."
The tea party progressed famously.
The brides forgot their tears and laid
plans for shopping and matinees and
promised to introduce their husbands.
Mrs. Allen gave Franccs the cake that
was lef' and was presented in turn
with a panful of new rolls. The two
parted affectionately.
"I am so glad you came over." said
j Frances. "This is the first time I
have had company."
"It is the first time I have been to
j a party." said Mrs. Allen.
"Neither have we," said the brides
And from that time on life in the great
city grew pleasant. The loneliness
had been dispelled.
Choose Your Guest as You Would
Shoes, Because They FK—Learn
the Art of Switching the
Conversation.
You may have a dinner with the
best appointment and cuisine, and if
your guests are badly chosen the din-
ner will be a social failure.
Certain elements will not coalesce,
and the woman who tries to force the
process is courting an explosion.
Choose guests as you would shoes—
because they fit.
You may be catholic In your taste
and enjoy the butterfly without a
brain and the woman who Is all brain
without social grace, the artist or
musician, the snob who distrusts all
the clever coterie, the man who loves
a gay story and the woman who is
easily shocked.
But gather those friends around a
common board and you may count on
their boredom.
If you must have a mixed dinner,
pray for tact in the seating. "A man
cares what he eats, a woman cares
whom she sits next."
Never seat your guests according to
social position. The practice makes
neither the dinner nor the hoBtesB
popular. If you put the socially unim-
portant together, your entertaining
will never be a success.
Custom has it that those who sit 011
the right and left of the host and host-
ess may feel themselves singled out
for attention—but choose lor reasons.
Do not give your guests a chance to
gibe at you as a money worshipper or
one with an axe to grind.
Do not have dinners so large as to
prevent general conversation. Not all
who go out to dinner are blessed with
manners, and the hostess should have
it in her power to go to the rescue of
the guest who is neglected by her
neighbors.
Nor should your dinners be long or
heavy. The day of dozens of courses
is past; the most brilliant diner-out
flnd3 it hard to shine when eating
through an over-elaborate menu.
Learn the art of switching the con-
versation. Many a dinner is wrecked
because the hostess does not know
to stop an argument that is verging
on controversy, and has not the so-
cial sense to scent dangerous topics
or sidetrack the bore.
Encourage brilliancy and gayety,
but keep a sharp watch for wit that
stings and jokes that tend to license.

VALUABLE LITTLE SWEET BOX
Is Easily Made and Its Usefulness
Will Commend It to the
Housekeeper.
A "sweet box" has become an insti-
tution in our family. It consists of a
stout cardboard box, lined with a
sheet of wadding generously sprinkled
with a favorite sachet powder. The
wadding Is glued over the top edge,
thus making the cover fit tightly. It
contains two or three loose, very
Bweet sachets. Any little gift or bit
of work, if laid away for a day or
two in the sweet box with a sachet
between its folds, comes out delicious-
Jly perfumed. All through the year we
(find many things are sweetened that
would not be, were it necessary to
hunt up or buy sachet powder each
time.
A Nice Sirup.
Put two teacups sugar in a frying
pan and place over a hot fire. Stir
constantly until sugar is melted and
browning, being careful not to let it
burn. When melted and browned,
pour enough boiling water over it to
cover the sirup and let it boll until,
when a small quantity is cooled, it
will be as thick as a common sirup.
Take from the stove and pour into a
pitcher. Flavor with vanilla or mapJe
essence if desired. This will keep
and will not sugar unless boiled too
long.

hour. Add a teaspoonful of salt be-
fore taking from the fire. Drain from
the hot water, plunge into cold water
and then drain. If the sections have
a pink tinge when pulled apart and
the thin membrane removed they are
not cooked enough, so boll a few min-
utes longer. Never allow them to

mer. Slice them and fry brown In two
tablespoonfuls of butter or drippings.
Pare fine, medium-sized tomatoes and
cut into small pieces. When the
sweetbreads are brown remove them

Stir often and let them cook to pieces.
Season to taste with salt, pepper and
cloves. When the tomatoes have
cooked smooth stir In a teaspoonful
of butter rolled in flour; drop the
sweetbreads into the tomato, boil up
once and serve.
