The glass pieces not only look attractive, but they save the house wife's time, eliminating the work of tranferring foods from one dish to another. Glass utensils have the added advantage pf being easy to scrape and wash. Scouring is seldom necessary.

Then it is part of a girl's charm to be able to do things, to be adaptable, to. fit in everywhere. She must be able to dance well, to play a good game of bridge, to swim, to play tennis and golf so as to be one of the crowd.

Xo-body finds a girl charming who is a spoiled sport. Ko man would want to sit out a dance with even a siren, or be tolled off by a hostess to sit on the rocks with even a Lorelei because she was afraid of the water. When we speak of charming Mary Brown or charming Susie Smith we mean, in a general way, that they are regular girls who' are good looking and well dressed and well mannered, and who know how to get along with people and who always fit in the picture and are In a way the life of the party. And when we come to analyze this charm in a girl think that we find it is mostly made up of three things, tact, appreciation and sympathy. All of us are vain.

All of us have our little peculiarities and prejudices, and we are just naturally attracted to those people who respect our "keep-off-the-grqssl signs, and who neatly sidestep our little We mdore having our fur smoothed down the right way and we purr under the hand that does it. If you will observe you will see that the woman who has a reputation for being charming has a sixth sense that enables her to divine the subjects that irritate us, and to anticipate our likes and dislikes. She never descants to an unsuccessful man about what a go-getter some other man is. She never tells the man who comes and takes her out in a flivver about how grand a Rolls-Royce rides. She never gets into arguments or disputes and, somehow, someway, she always manages to turn the spotlight on us and make us feel great and glorious and that she is filled with admiration for us.

Then the charming girl is al ways appreciative. We love to do things for her because she is grateful and because she lets us see thot we have made her happy. She is generous in her thanks and doesn't take every favor as less than her due. Above all a charming woman Is sympathetic She enters into our joys and sorrows and rejoices with us when we rejoice and weeps with us when we weep. She is never too self-centered to enter into our lives ana become part of them.

And so perhaps the secret of charm is just kindness and sweetness and lave. DOROTHY DIX. Market-Wise Menu You're going to be delighted at so riie of the prices offered today by a famous down town market. Boneless baby whitefish, one of the most delicious of all fishes, is selling for only 29c a pound.
