do not advise any of my girls to
Did reception on New Years day,
kcept they can thoroughly afford it.
r Semember that to keep open house
Heans that you and your asSis
Rnts should be attired in a hand
Some dress, and should have choco-
late, wines, salads, cake, and fruit to
present to your guests. These little
things are not very expensive, but to be
made attractive, they will cost more
than the average poor girl can al ord
1 therefore dear girls don't strain your
selves for the fad of receiving gentle
men, whom you may see on that day,
and who will enjoy your delicacies
and will probably not call again until
u the next New Years day.
y Lily.-No, it is not necessary 10 In
Site your callers in the dining room.
A friend who calls for the interest he
has in you, will be just as satisfied
with cup Of boulliun presented on a
Ipretty little waiter in the parlor, and
lit is quite fashionable. Elaborate ta-
bleS are almost out of date.
Delia.-I have poor opinion of any
young girl who is not willing to aid
her parents. Neither am | in favor
of a girl leaving her parents and board
ing with other people. a..r.
Don't forget to send in your names
if you are going to hold a reception on
New Years day, also if you are not
going to receive, il will be well 10 let

\ at any rate.

Competent to fill il; ifso, you will GER

folly.
Hostess cheapest, easiest,
and best way to give a dinner is to
place the management in the hands Of
Nsome famous caterer and then you may
be sure that everything will go on
nicely, E. Murray serves nice table.
Rule yourself, love your neighbor;
do the duty that lies near you.
At reception gloves should be
worn until at the table, when they
Should be removed, then it is not
Necessary to resume them until you are
ready to leave.
Laura.-Buy a monk in the shape of

There is a theory that is commonly
accepted, that girls time is mostly

CirIs.-Gvmnastic exercise is only

Domestic The nice girl is not
necessarily found in the parlor. She
ear be found i'm all walks OF lie. She
is queen also peasant as well as
nenniless. The accident OF wealth or
position cut no figure in the conduct oil
her life. She is the same girl, true,
cheerful, loving, sensible girl. No
matter where she is or how situated,
her life is a bright dream and as a
whole. a volume of the creature God
IN e ided woman to be.
1t is not wise to mistrust peopIe he
cause others do.
