A group of young housewives
might entertain eh oilier at inter
wl like, perhtp. once a month at
rich other't homes by wiving a tocial
l-a. A quarter pound ( tea pro
vides about SH cups ol lair atrengtii,
while a pound of coffee givet 50 cup

half a dorm iiutcad of 50. the cost
for the drink it negligible.
To erve with the tea, sweet

plain cake or ! biscuits spread with
jam are all appropriate.
A novel way to serve pUin pound
rake it to slice it into inch thick
lice and thrn rut each 'slice into
such forms as triangles and so on.
These may be iced with a simple
icing and sprinkled with chopped
nuts, shredded coroanut, grated
orange rind or grated bitter choco
late. A very simple icing for this pur-
poe i made by beating enough
confectioner's sugar into a stiftly
beaten egg white to K'v n icing
of the consistency desirable for
spreading. A little vanilla extract
and a few drops of lemon juice
should be worked into this icing.
Tinting the icing always adds a
certain degree of festivity. Small
jars of color paste may be obtained
at any of the first-class Rrocers. At
much of the paste as will fit on the
head of a pin will give a beautiful
tint to a half cup of icing.
The desirable colors arc rose-pink,
leaf green, yellow, orange and pos
sibly brown.
Besides or in place of cakes, the
hostess will find little bread and but
ter sandwiches, or lettuce mayon
naise or just cream cheese and jelly
sandwiches in good taste.
It is not so much the refreshments,
however, that make the social tea
a success. It is rather the determi
nation of every woman to make the
occasion a happy one by wearing her
best garments and bringing along
her most pleasant mood.
When the returns from this little
affair she will return to her daily
routine with a renewed delight borne
of recreation.
American College Women
"Wider, Taller and
Heavier.
By I'nlvtroal Km Ice.
Foughkeepsie, N. Y.. March 1. If.
despite appearances, the nut-brown
maiden still has a slender waist, it is
not so slender as it was 20 years ago.
At least that is true of girls who
have entered Vassar college since
1904, if statistics are to be trusted.
They are "wider, taller and heavier."
The waist measurements, as wen
as other dimensions, of 7,077 Vassar
freshmen have recently been ex
amined, collected and tabulated by
a class in statistics of the economics
department and the results sent to
the American Statistical association
for publication. The period covered
is 36 years, from 1884 to 1920.
During that time the average
freshman has gained an inch and a
third in height, about six and a half
pounds in weight, and nearly two
inches in "girth of waist." Yet the
entrance age has remained close to
18 years.
"Of course," the Vassar freshman
will 'say, "everybody knows waists
have been out of style for ever so"
long."
As a matter of fact, that is one of
the explanations suggested in the re
port of the physical development in
vestigation, written by Mabel. New
comer. "The change in the type of cloth
ing worn, together with the increase
in weight, readily account for the'
recent increase," she writes.
The gains in height and weight
have been remarkably steady, since
the first records were taken. Not
so the increase in waist measure.
From 1884 to 1904 there was an al
most constant decrease, despite the
constant gain. in , the average weight
and height
"The only explanation which sug
gests itself," says the report, "is that
the earlier type of college woman
was less subservient to fashions than
those during the later years when
higher education of women" had be
come more widespread." '
Having been emancipated from
tight corsets, the recent classes of
freshmen at Vassar have gained in
average lung capacity, as well as in
waist measure. Another plausible
explanation of this is the increase in
athletic sports for girls, which would
also account for the general advance
in physical development.
' On this point the published stotis
tics . are impressive. During the
years from 1896 to 1900, when waists
were most slender and lungs most
cramped more than one-fourth of . the
girls reported no participation' in
sports. During 1916-20 only 'Six
girls in 1,000 so reported. The aver
age number of sports increased from
2.0 to 9.2, and the maximum number
of sports reported by any one stu
dent rose from eight to 17;
During the period covered by these
statistics there has been no important
change in the racial character of the
girls - entering Vassar; no great
change in the geographical distribu
tion of their homes. Nearly one-half
of them come from the middle Atlan
tic states, about one-fifth from New
England, and the rest from scattered
parts. The great majority come
from old American stock.
Investigations at Stanford univer
sity and Smith college as to the aver
age physical development of girls en
tering college have given similar re
sults, both as to height and weight.

"Or
Environment Reflected in Manners
To attempt to appear well bred
when one lias been brought up
without breeding would be sheer af
fectation. Such is the opinion of
some persons who regard good
manners as the exclusive property
of those who belong to families
where social amenities are well es
tablished. And some persons go so far as to
say that the person who has not
been taught good manners in child
hood never can appear well bred,
since good breeding is just what
the word implies good birth and
good bringing up.
This argument is refuted best by
the many examples of men in pub
lic life in America, who have come
from rude homes and have acquired
almost faultless manners. To accuse
Abraham Lincoln either of affecta
tion or lack of, loyalty for his simple
childhood home would be absurd. To
imagine that there was time or op
portunity for "polished manners" in
that little backwoods cabin would
also be a stretch of the imagination.
And yet the mature Lincoln's man
ners and good breeding were almost
flawless; for no man could do the
courteous thing more graciously
than he, no man could put those
with whom he associated more at
ease in even the slightest transaction
than he, and few men have ever been
able by a word or gesture so
thoroughly to bridge over a trying
situation as did Lincoln.
What Lincoln Did.
This is how it came about: Thouarh
Lincoln was brought up in . the
simplest, rudest of homes, he
possessed that innate courtesy and
considcrateness upon which all Kood
manners are based. Though he may
not have had good table manners
when he first went out in the world.
he did have that characteristic that
is the bail's of all good tabic man
nersa desire not to offend those
with whom he was brought into
social contact. The boorish self-
made man feels that it is a matter
of affectation to eat in any other
manner than that to which he was
accustomed in childhood. The man
like Lincoln quickly notes the ways
oi tne world and, lest the crude
manners of the cabin miirht offend.
he adopts the new. The young Lin-
coin might not have known the cor
rect etiquette for introducing a man
to a woman of his acquaintance, but
he possessed that innate courtesy
toward women that is the basis of all
good manners between men and
women. Because he had this he
learned quickly the world's way of
snowing courtesy to women.
Etiquette Is Necessary.
Good manners are not only ear
marks of good family and good rear
ing. We do not follow the laws of
etiquette merely because we want
others to think that we have been
hrought up with a certain amount
of leisure and care; that our parents
nave enjoyed prosperity and culti
vation and that our ancestors were
early colonists of the land. If that
were the reason we sought to be
well bred, then it might be affecta
tion. But etiquette is the system of
conduct that has been built up, bit
by bit, as the best means of carry
ing on social intercourse. The man
who has been brought up among
ill-mannered folk does not, on ming
ling with better bred persons, give
np eating with his knife because he
wants to delude them into thinking
that he is an aristocrat, but because
eating with the fork is most con
venient and appropriate, and if he
did not do it he would offend others
and attract attention to his own peculiarities.

'Wfthis Girl
Chains on " Undies."
And just as we thought ourselves
fortunate enough to boast that our
wardrobe contained nothing but
silk undcrthings along come the
creators ot the "undies and an
nounce that the silk and lace things
are not sufficient unto themselves;
if .we are to toe really smart our
undergarments . must be made with
shoulder straps of gold chains
(sometimes set. with pearls) or nar
row jet bands.
Where, or where, is the money
coming from?.
For really, don't you know, it
wouldn't do at all to have filled
chains, because one's skin is certain
to turn green beneath the chain,
and that would never do,
There are those who might haunt
father's vest pocket after he has
retired and help themselves to his
watch chain. Others might put to
use the discarded chain which was
hidden away in among the family
jewels when the watch was con
verted into a wrist attachment.
And then there are others who
might purchase pearl studded
chains a dollar down and a dollar
a week, just as they did their mink
and ermine wraps.
At any rate, we really must have
the darling little chains to hold our
undies up.
We really must.

What was the web that unseen, hands were weaving
about her?
Had she Carmel Lee all unwittingly found the key
to the mystery of a great man's life ?
Would she be permitted to unlock the forbidden door
and reveal to the world the horrid secret that had been
kept hidden through the years?
WasAbner Fownes the guiding mind in a terrifying
conspiracy to do away with Carmel Lee?
Hers is the story filled with the thrill of new adven
turethat is being told in THE RED BOOK MAGA
ZINE by Clarence Budington Kelland, under the title
"Contraband." Everyone who read his earlier novel,
"Conflict," or has since seen it on the screen, will want
to read "Contraband." It is an amazing story of this
day this hour and as such will be a revelation to
thousands.
