ASSISTING AT A RECEPTION,
The Duties Are Not Those of Greeting and
and Dismissing the Guests,
WRITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH

IL.
If one of your women friends asks YOU to
"receive" with her at any function she has
definite reason for so doing She doesn't
expect you to stand with her all the after
noon and do nothing but greet and dismiss
guests-that is her special privilege as host
ess. The unwritten law for those who are
asked to receive with the hostess is other
wise. 1t is their part to do what the host
ess, who is busy with incoming guests can
not do.
These assistants may at the first, stand in
line with the hostess until the rooms begin
to be filled; then they should gradually
withdraw, leaving only one of the number
to act as special assistant to the hostess, and
it should be their special mission to break
up the stiff little pauses following introduc-
tions, to see that isolated and timid people
are brought among those who have the most
savoir fafre, to invite guests out to the din
ing room, and see that they are properly
served, to make the stranger feel specially
welcome, to break up little groups of init
mates, in short to diffuse sweet and gra-
cious courtesy everywhere, to make every
guest feel that he or she is an object of
special consideration, to do what no hostess,
no matter how fine her tact, can accomplish,
because she cannot make a dozen people of
herself all at once.

HER BROTHERS TROUSERS CLOTH.
How a Bright Fin de Steele Girl Started q
New Fashion Going.
WRITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH. :


"I don't see why shouldn't have that
piece of cloth for my new tailor-made
gown" said a young girl not long ago
when her brothers new trousers came home
from the tailor's.
"But it's for mems trousers" said her
brother.
spThat's no reason why girl shouldn't
have gown of it, if she wants one,'' she
answered.
1t was soft gray, with tiny stripes of a
darker gray, and a hair line of black run
ming through it. ''It would make pretty
gown" said her mother doubtfully, not
used to such innovations as this, even with
her fin de steele daughters, 'but it is too
heavy
.It isn't any heavier than your Bedford
cord" persisted the daughter.
And so the patient mother trotted away
to get bit of the Bedford cord Sure
enough, it wasn't.
"I shouldn't think of having it lined, -
said the young woman positively "except
in the bodice, and that with thin silk"
'I cost So so yard" warned her
brother.
$50 does the Bedford cord" she an
swered.
And the result was PLAIN from that mo-
ment.
Whether she set the fashion or whether
by some, strange mental telegraDhy the
same idea came to other girls, You must
settle for yourself, but the fact is that a
great many young women have stolen mas
culne clothes to have their street-gowns

started to run, but Dick caught up the reins
that were trailing on the ground, and clung
to them desperately. The animal, plunging
and curving wildly, dragged the sturdy little
figure some distance down the road, until
man caught him by the bride and forced
him to STOP Then Dick staggered to his
feet, and called family:
"Hurry, father-hurry Take mother
out. She'll be blown to pieces. There's
dynamite under the seat. :"
One of the men in the group about the
cart instantly drew from the back a small
suspicious-looking keg, at the sight OF
which the crowd fell back. The lid was
carefully pried open, and a shout of laugh
ter went up for it was filled to the brim
with sand.
The next dav all the knights but Dick
were assembled in the clubrooms, a SORROW
full looking group. Their treasurer had de-
parted without squaring accounts and leav-
ing an empty treasury behind him; and
then there were other accounts, not financial
ones, to be squared up later with their
parents. Upon the gloomy scene Dick sud-
denly entered.
"Cheer up, you fellows, " he cried blithely.
Gust listen 10 this We amt in scrape

night and he was mighty nice. He said he
thought we'd had punishment enough, and
that he'd make it right with all the fathers.

WRINKLES ARE HONORABLE.
Helen Watterson Insists They Are Not rs
Bad as Gray Hairs, Even.
WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPATcH.I

WRITTEN FOR THE pIsPATcH.l
Reading all the paragraph wisdom that is
uttered nowadays on the subject of wrinkles,
their avoidance and their care, stranger
on this planet would certainly think new
and mortal terror had just come among us.
Enough is said of the treatment of wrinkles
to make US all wise to avoid them, if wis
dom were enough. But wrinkles, like love,
will find out way, and in spite of massage
and oils and balms, wrinkles will set their
delicate seal of thought and perplexity upon
the forehead and under the eyes and about
the lips.
The reason of wrinkles, any one will tell
you easily, is years. But why is it that
years make wrinkles? Here is the e1plana-
tlon, as well as layman can give it. Un-
derneath the skin in the flesh are embedded
multitudes of little muscles that hold the
flesh and keep it as we say "so1id and firm !"
Inc skin also has certain muscular power
OF contracting and stretching, as necessity
demands, and which depends upon what is
called the tonicity of the skin. As years
creep along the muscles weaken and grow
lax, no longer holding the flesh up firm and
hard IS before. All the lines in the face
droop therefore with age, and the flesh has
tendency to fall down in little ridges.
Just the. same thing happens to the skin.
1t loses its contracting power and relaxes.
Then come the little wrinkles
1t will be seen, then, that wrinkles are
due to changes in the constitution of the
skin itself Anything that acts as stimu-
liant upon the skin keeping it active and so
Keeping up the tone of the muscles will
tend to prevent wrinkles But even if they
do come, why should one be unhappy?
They are as honorable as gray hairs They
indicate thought as well as years; they give
character and dignity to the expression.
Freckles and sun-burn have had their day
of being fashionable. Why not wrinkles?
They are beautiful if we only think so

TOO MANY UNsELFIsH WOMEN,
II It Were Not for Them There Would Be
Fewer Selfish People.

Fewer Selfish People.
WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPATcH.l
There is too much of the unselfsh woman
in the home. She may be the patient, self
sacrificing mother, who gets over-tired that
others may go free; she may be an elder
sister who has sacrificed all the graces and
gifts of individual life to family of
younger brothers and sisters. Perhaps she
is maiden aunt who smoothes the way
with anxious eagerness for everybody's feet
but her own, or grandmother whose bur-
ders multiply with the coming of the Sec
ond generation, because the young mother
has not learned the secret of living her life
independently. Whatever emergency of
life may have called out her unselfshness,
there it is, and, as said before, there is al
together too much of it. Why? Because
there is such a thing as an unselishuess
that passes beyond its proper bounds and
becomes mean-spirited. 1t lays aside that
proper recognition of self which commands
respect, and which is wholly necessary for
individual well-being. That the mother
should be the head, the brains of her
family, what is more fitting? That she
should be hands and feet, that she should
serve before them like a hired assistant, a
thousand times No!
These unselish women, in their anxiety
to exemplify the Golden Rule, quite forget
that self, after ALL underlies its measure of
values If a great many women treated
their neighbors no better than they treat
themselves, this would be a sad world for
neighborliness
And this unselfshness is sure to work
mischief in family, too. For unselfsh-
ness is unlike most other virtues, in that it
breeds its opp2sites not its own kind. In a
family where the wife or the mother, or the
elder daughter, is anxiously unseliish,
where she watches every opportunity to do
for the other members of the family, what
there is every good reason they should do
for themselves. these others learn quickly
enough first to accept it, then to assume it,
and finally to demand it. And so there
comes out of the home of the unselfish
woman flock of careless, self-seeking chill
dren, intent on themselves, criminally heed
less of everybody else.

PROPER PLACE FOB THE LINEN,
Certainly Not on the Bed or Next the Skin,
Save in Summer.
WRITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH.

WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPATCH.l
The world, or this part of it, at least is
full of housekeepers who think that there
is no material for sheets and pillow cases
comparable to linen. They don't always
have it to be sure, because it is expensive,
but they always covet it and finger the
shining breadths lovingly and der if the
time will ever come when all these things
shall be added unto them. But the truth
about linen is that it isn't the ideal dress
ing for beds at all. 1t is cold and slippery
and insures sensitive persons the dream of
sleeping on an iceberg which does well
enough for an occasional experience, like
seasickness, but which pals on too frequent
repetition. Besides that, it wrinkles and
tumbles in spite of its heavier body, much
more than cotton does giving bed after one
nights use, most slovenly and uninyiting
appearance.
Nobody recommends linen for body wear
Its firm texture and hard surface makes it
wholly non-absorbent; it allows the body to
become chilled by refusing the perspiration
and so has been known to bring on serious
illness. For outside wear in summer, linen
may be tolerated as clothing, but nowhere
else.
Where, however, it is at its most useful
and best is in household uses. For table
service, for the toilet and for minor orna-
mental details, it is simply invaluable-its
smoothness of texture. its brilliancy, which
laundrying even increases, its exquisite
freshness makes it the one fabric fit to drape
the dining table, and to use in the toilet,
while its suitability for needle work decor
alton makes it admirable for all kinds of
fancy work. And here it is rightfully
used, but to wear next the skin and sleep
in-no.

The result of all the trials is the graceful,

frame of light wood and netting of rawhlde,
leaving no place for snow to stick.
The mishaps of the learner on snow shoes
are very ludicrous, especially when he
"scufis' and takes header into the drift
with snow shoes uppermost. The National
Museum has many different forms of
snow shoes, from the oval, very wide
shoes of Labrador to the tapering shoes OF
the Indians and Eskimo. The rudest snow
shoes perhaps in the world are used by the
California Indians. They are mere hoops
OF wood with coarse netting. The Aino
shoe comes in close second in point of
rudeness. Just how the Labrador people
walk with a snow shoe 25 inches wide on
each foot is query. The effort to bring
one foot around past the other must result
