This dims vision, and if con tinued daily may damage your eyes considerably. Wear an eye shade if necessary, and if moderate light irritates your eyes wear amber, smoked or green tinted glasses. . The best light for reading- purposes should fall upon the printed page over the left shoulder. The light should be even in quality and intensity, and not Jerky or flick ering. Do not try to read in a dim light or in the pale,, sickly twilight. The strain on the eyes may not bd felt until vision is seriously impaired. Do not trust your own judgment as to the strength of your eyes. Nature is patient and long-suffering and tries to be accommodating under trying cir cumstances. You can deceive yourself for a long time, but you will suffer in conse quence. Bring the book up toward your -eyes not your eyes down to the book. Hold the article you are reading op- posue your eyes so mat a line trom angle. Don't get the eye-washing habit If von feel the need of an cta wash vrr eyes probably require other treatment, Do not neglect the earliest symp- torn of fatigue of the eyes.

"Adorable," "fascinating," "charm ing" no adjective is too extravagant to describe the uniformed beaux Needless to say, the interest does not halt at extravagant description.

Mrs. 1 Blank is doing the patriotic thing and Lj a very commendable thing when she -j entertains Uncle Sam s first line. As hostess under any other circum stances, she is more or less responsi ble for the introductions and the ac quaintanceships that come of her ef- forts.

And now, in lighter vein, there are endless little "puzzlers" that crop up under this new regime. One of them is this: Let us take for example agate Mrg Blank.s dance where possible fc- troductions are made. But there at instances of where an unpresented seaman will ask the favor of a dance. Ana in a I may ue a rcauj bcwh-i "puzzler" to some. Well, the English rule holds good here; and that is tnat'J where all are guests under the samel roof; introductions are not absolutelFlj necessary. However, should the ac ouaintance not prove agreeable, it is quite proper to forget it at any time. A simple application of the ordinary rules of etiquette will in the majority of cases obviate social difficulties under the new order of things.
