Ladies' Home Journal.
There are a great many friendships ruined
by the unwillingness on one side or the
other to accept fsvors. ywo school girl
friends united by many congenial ties are
forced apart because the poorer one fool
ishly thinks that she should make some re-
turn for the pretty gifts, the party invita-
tons the tickets to concerts or matinees
which her friend loves to remember her
with. She knows that she is unable to make
any return, so refuses the good times. and
by doing so not only deprives her friend
of the keenest delight, but herself of many
opportunities fer pleasure, and the family
circle at home of the recital of the fresh
and novel experience which contact with
the world outside Of her home would surely
bring her.
Favors are of many sorts 1t sometimes
happens that a wealthy woman may wish
to send girl to college, to help her in her
music, to encourage her in her desire for
an art education: she may give her books,
take her out with her and give her oppOr-
tCnltieS for hearing great artists. When a
girl has such favors offered her she should
accept them gracefully and with a clear
conscience. The favors are not all on one
side; Ter bright face and enthusiastic ap-
probation mean much TO the woman who
is fortunate enough TO be able to dispense
faVOrS.

For the woman who cannot afford many
gowns, the perfectly plain bodice is. per-
haps, the best she elect for With this
can then be worn-in these days of countless
waist accessories-all sorts of tasteful and
varied fitments. 1t serves as a background
and foundation of either jackets, fchus,
berthas, collarettes. or fancy fronts of lace,
chiffon, ribbon, satin. etc. all more or less
elaborate. The various collar bands at

adjust and keep them in position. and the
slightly pouching drapery at the waist is at

be wrought by this economical mode of al

Every woman by this time realizes that

to-day are quite unlike those worn last sum-
mer, with their voluminous breadths un-
trimmed. Bear this in mind. and never have
more than the requisite number of gowns in
your wardrobes. To mistake here is to in

as much as a new one, and is not always

All sorts of things are sprung upon one
nowadays called iced coffee" and no one
can deny that coffee of some sort is pres

made by mixing together half pint OF
cream, the same of sweet rich milk, one
quart of strong. clear, freshly made coffee,
and sugar to taste Freeze it then till 1t Is
like a thick batter and then stir onto it
lightly half a pint of cream whipped to a
stiff froth. Serve it in large bowl stand

"A good general never overloolzs point
in the game" said an eX-army officer who
grieves because time has ruled him out of
the service. Nothing escapes him, and
that should be remembered by these curb
stone and corner grocery strategists who
gather little surface information and then
howl because campaigns are not carried on
in accordance with their plans.
"Apropos to this, / recall what seemed a
little thing that happened before we at
tackled Fort Donelson and yet there is no
measuring the effect it may have had upon
history. General Grant called council of
war to consider whether they should at
tack at once or give the troops few days
rest The other officers favored a rest,
while General Grant smoked and gave no
opinion.
q There was a deserter brought in this
morning, the general finally said. Let US
see him and see what he has to say.
THE first thing Grant did when the fell
low came in was r. or"1 -, IT '---r--.~
Where are you from?' the general then
asked.

Yesterday morning.

men mean to retreat, not to fight. We will

Soft, clinging effects will have the prefer
enee over all stiff materials. Cashmeres
still have a place in handsome gowns as do
the henriettas and albatross, as well as the
fine serges. Canvas cloths are made softer
and show a variety of open-wrought meshes
in all the new autumn tints Poplins are
still with us, and those of high silken luster
are much used for very dressy wear, es-
pecialIy in the shades of gray and green.
For dressy black either satin poplin or
some of the fine bengaline weaves are
shown in preference to the brocadeS and
moires. Grape effects and crepons are good
and show a tendency to a pretty silken
gloss. Ladies' cloth in every conceivable
shade will be worm and many black ones
made solidly or with color are designed for
calling and afternoon affairs.
Braids of all sorts, in both plain and fancy
weave, will be used in the greatest profusion
and will be applied in all sorts of designs as
we'll as in straight-up-and-do and all
around effects. Some of the dress skirts
show the bottom edge cut in vandykes,
either bound or faced back with silk, and
beneath is placed a three or four-inch ruff
file that may be either plated or gathered.
This, by the way. is an easy way OF length
ening a dress skirt.

Society nowadays may be unconventional
careless what you will, in many respects,
but there are certain matters of etiquette
which are never neglected by well-bred peo-
ple-people to the manner born. One of the
most important of these is to give letters.
notes, invitations an immediate response. To
leave unanswered a letter, note or invitation
is to stamp ones self in indelible colors as
underlined, or totally devoid of the funda-
mental principles which constitute good
form While we are aping English customs
and manners, it might be as we'll to ADOPT
some of the best of them, and to take lear
out of an English ladys book, one of whose
first duties in the morning is to answer all
letters which arrive by the mail requiring
immediate consideration. Royalty sets the
example. The humblest subject OF the realm
who writes to the Queen, or to any member
of the royal family, receives his letter win
the same dispatch and courtesy with which
a peers communication would be answered.
In the shake-up of American life-a hod car
rier to-day a millionaire to-morrow-these
small courtesies are not always grasped by
the newly prosperous, but when ignored by
those whose position entities them to know
better it is inexcusable, and shows lack
of kindly consideration for the feelings anu
welfare of others, which, to say the least,
is reprehensible.

And sun with shadow blend.
