health of the husband and wife should be
proposed at dessert by one OF the guests,
for which the husband should return

When a dance is given the husband md
wife are expected 10 dance the first

together also
1t is usual to Guide a wedding cake in
the refreshments provided for an at-home,
and also in the dessert at a dinner party.
Champagne is given at silver wedding re-
ceptOnS and at-hOmes, In addition to the
usual refreshments; at the dinners and
dances it is given as matter of course.
On the occasion of a silver wedding the
guests are expected to give a present, and
must do so. Many give presents of silver
articles, valuable or trihing, the exist
ms intimacy Dictates and the choice Is
so great that no one need experience much
difficulty in selecting something suitable
in accordance with the means or incline-
ton of the giver. Others prefer to give
flowers, considering that a trifing gift in
silver is hardly worthy of acceptance by
those who are well endowed with all that
this world can give, while an offering OF
flowers is always appreciated and well
coined, thus rare eXotics or white flowers
in season, a basket of flowers or a bou-
quet of flowers, as the case may be, are
sent on the morning of the day the func-
ton takes place. Occasionally the guests
carry their floral offerings with them, but
to send them in the morning is more con-
siderate as they can then be made use of
in the decoration of the rooms, tea tables,
etc. Presents in silver, on the contrary,
If not of a bulky size, are more usually
given by the guests on arrival to the host
ess after shaking hands with her, other
wise they should be sent in the morning of
f1atr NTH Il an ha
donors congratulations and good wishes.
The presents are exhibited on a table or
tables, If numerous enough to admit of its
being done. Invitations are often sent to
friends living at a considerable distance,
as, ii not able 70 accept, it is an intima
ton of the event and Is considered as a
compliment. Whether the invitations are
accepted or not cards should be left after
the entertainments during the week, If
possible, and notes should be sent by
those living at a distance regretting their
inability TO accept and expressing their
congratulations at the event.
Never talk to me about taking time
by the forelock' or any of that nonsense
again." CALCULATED the girl who is always
in a hurry to a friend who holds serenity
to be the most valuable of virtues, says
the Chicago Times-Herald. IF ever again
7 try to get anywhere before too late l
hope I'll have just such another time as
l did to-day Tell you about it, indeed
Why else do you suppose I would have
come to see you? If l hadn't followed your
advice l shouldn't have had such an awful
time.
ITO begin with, obeyed your suggestion
and got up at o'clock. Talk of early ris-
ing adding to ones chances of success; it
made me so sleepy that 1 was positively
cross by breakfast time, and as for study
ing, all 1 could do was to wonder when in
the world that tardy meal would be ready
and whether there'd be enough of it when
it did come. And I've had a headache all
day from eating, too much
Then l hurried downtown, mol didn't
hurry, l dawdled, as you said, but 1 got
there long before anyone else, just the
same Waiting around in idleness for an
hour or two missed all the good bargains,
because l hadn't stopped to read the morn
ing papers, and never saw a single per-
son l wanted to. L suppose they weren't
up. When 1 got home L found that by
starting away so early I'd managed to
miss the man / most wanted to see-Archie
you know, and l just know he'd come to
ask me to go TO the theater-and he'd
spent half the morning across the street
with that horrid Maria Jones. l went ear
ly to the club and missed Henry Fellows,
who called to drive me there, went home
to dinner promptly, and was just early
enough to have to help get it ready, since
our cook had gone to bed with headache,
and burned my face until it was sight.
Then l thought 1 might as well follow
the rest of your directions, and go 10 bed
early, and l did-just early enough to have
my hair all damp and stringy-I was gong
to curl it with kids, you know-when call
ers came. 1 had to send word down that
L got horrible cold, of course, and now
l discover that they wanted me to go
camping with them. And 1 missed it all
because l tried to do things in good time.
Good time, indeed bad time, 1 call it, And
if ever you mention such a thing as TAX
ing time by the forelock to me again, I'll
never speak to you as long as we both
live"
