Pillow-shams may be thrown aside at
night. They are mostly for day wear.
Some roll them up in a napkin ring at
night, whilst others hang them on the seed
corn or dried apple drapery of the room.
Pillow shams go very far toward sweeten-
ing the home atmosphere and beautifying
the home nest. Show me where they have
no pillow shams and / will show you a
desOlate house. Show me where there are
no pillow shams and | will show ron no

In drinking wine at table, you should
not drain the glass at once or exclaim, as
you take il up "Well, here we go!' or
after emptying your glass. look anEiousy
for your check or ask the waiter ''to make
it the same again for all hands" This is
Watch your host and keep your wine low
cred to the same notch as his. Then you
will be all right. That is the way they do
in Paris. IT, you are afraid to trust your
self to drink any more wine Willie the host
continues to daily with the sparkling, yon
may ask for Vichy water which | find is a
good drink to stick to especially for those
whose minds cannot successfully grapple
with other beverages. DO not hang your
eyes out on you cheeks while drinking
wine or drink too fast and get it up your
nose.
If you drink coffee after your dinner do
not, if you desire more than one cup, pound
on your saucer with your spoon or look
around and exclaim ':hi." BE gentle and
lady like in your dcmcnor, telling some
fresh little anecdOtc to the guests while
you eat a sauecrful of olives or pin "A fresh
sprig of celery on your coat.
When you get anything hot in your
mouth, do not get mad and swear, for the
other guests will only laugh at you, but
take it out carefully and ask the hired girl

Here is a good one TO use when you visit
Paris, in order to show that you are
familiar with French history.
"An aged but bright French actress was
once east for rather young part, and so
had to spruce up. Among other things
she got a new and beautiful set of teeth at
the swell dentists. But they hurt her
mouth exceedingly during the play, and
after the last act she hurried TO her dress

put them in her pocket, and, forgetting
about the teeth, impulsvely sat down on
the pocket containing them. With a wild
