ETIQUETTE FOR GIRLS.

ALWAYS rise for an older person.
In entering a roc the gentleman al
ways follows the young lady.
THE young lady always seats herself
first before any gentleman will do SO.
In making introductions the young
man is always presented to the girl,
never the other way round.
IT is a lady's place to recognize a
gentleman first, as It depends on her
whether the acquaintance continues or
not.

NniI-niting Children.

Every mother who has attempted TO
combat nail-biting in her child will be
interested in the recent Investigations
upon the subject by a distinguished
French physician. He recognizes il as
n disease and calls II onychophagy. Fur
Their he finds il an inherited affiictiOn,
and one, too, that is an unfailing evil
dence Of a latent nervous degeneration.
The percentage Of girls so afflicted is
much larger than that of boys, in one
mixed school examined the proportion be-
ing 81 per cent. for the former and 20
per cent for the latter.
The usual remedies suggested Of local
applications or tying the hands he pro-
nOunCes useless. Looking upon the dis
ease as q nervous disorder he advocates
the careful and continuous treatment
that is necessary in such affections
great attention TO food, exercise, sleep
ing habits, ventilation and all hygienic
necessities that will tend to build up
and strengthen the nervous system of
the child.
This will probably remove the cause
but not the ha bit for which he employs
his own treatment, as follows: I'D To
create q counter irritaut and thus to
transform by outward eXcitation the un-
conscious act into a conscious one. q
To create a counter automatic impulse
CD To strengthen the resolution of the
child" He adds to these the treatment
by suggestion while in hypnotic sleep.
The results of this investigation have
been received with much interest every
where. and a careful study is being made

cIo-eIy shaxea seam-.

Do you purchase your gowns ready

the peculiar trick of the seamstresses in
shaving down the seams? They are
trimmed as closely as if women never

selves over trade idiosyncrasies, read

$50 for plain tailor-made costume, with
never a word about this defect. once

The strangest part Of the whole bust

WOMAN AND home,

Spoken words Of love were abundant
during the courtship. They come easily
from the heart and lips. AS time wears
on this fountain of love seems to dry up;
the tender look, loving words and kind
caress seem to be forgotten.
Not that husbands cease to love their
wives-they would work their fingers to
the bone for the mother of their chill
dren-but the honeymoon is over, cares
press hard and close, and they forget
the kiss they used to give, or that a
word or look Of praise would be of I'M
told value to the weary wife. She has
had her petty grievances and needs the
tender caress more now than when there
were no pains, no hard work. no bridges

you appreciate her efforts to make home
attractive. You had a pet name for her
when you were winning her; don't drop
it now: the mere mention of that name
will bring a glow TO her cheek and

"Not at Home"

The little phrase mot at home" used
in the conventional sense, simply means
that one is not at liberty to receive her
friends or acquaintance. 1t does not
mean that she is out Of the house, and
it is so understood by people accustomed
TO society. When the maid bars the
door to a caller with the information
that the lady is engaged" and cannot
come down, the caller. unless she is a
very sensible lady indeed, is apt to feel
that she has had a rebuff. 'In not take
the trouble to go to her house again very
soon" she thinks. and probably says, as
she walks disappointedly away
OF course if the phrase mot at nome
is crudely taken and regarded as raise
hood by the utterer and by tne peIsoli
who hears it, it lowers the moral tone OF
both. But this is not what IS INTENDED

A Girls Best studies.

I feel convinced. and this feeling is
based upon careful inquiry, writes Ed
ward W. Box in the Ladies' Home Jour
nal, that four principal branches of
study, with one or two Of the arts, are
sufficient for healthful absorption by
any girl of average mental capacity.
And if 1 were asked to outline these par
ticular studies they would consist: %
OF a thoroughly English course covering
analysis. grammar, composition and
rhetoric: % history: o. literature, and
"a mathema tics. And add to these, as
accomplishments, the study of music
first and art second, and a girl has
sufficient course of study before her.
with a due regard for her physical well
fare Where other branches of study
are deemed best or necessary 1t is wiser
to substitute rather than to add.
