The hostess who wishes to pay on a
large number of minor social obligations
and thinks to do so by giving a tea,
should remember that 'crushes' to which
one has asked everybody are not in very
good repute socially. People do not feel
much eomplimented to be asked where
everybody else is asked.
1t is better. therefore, to send out IN
vitations "to meet someone, and thus
give an added compliment to the invita-
ton. If one has a friend visiting here IT
is pleasant for her to invite a number or
people for a given afternoon. and to nave
a little music or some other form OF en-
tertainment to add to the occasion.
Crushes are still encountered on all
sides. but while the fashionable woman
may do almost anything, the woman who
is making a position for herself in society,
especially If living on anything less than
an unlimited income. should seek to give
distinction to whatever she does.
Linen belongings demand an oversight
that must never be relaxed. Tablecloths
and napkins unless absolutely new should
be examined each week for spots that
show wear. holding the linen to the light
to determine where the weakened spots
are. and darning them carefully. Hand
some towels may be kept twice as long
in use if the first hole is not allowed to
appear. Sheets and pillow slips likewise
demand especial oversight She VINO

the band of improvidents, for when an
article requires this ugly remedy It's end
is not far off. Linen shout never re-
quire patching. 1t should be darned until
it is quite beyond further strengthening;
then a few days wear will see the last
of it.
Professor D. r. McAnally, in the March
Ladies Home Journal" has a most in
teresting article on ."The American Girls
Chances of Marriage" In a carefully
compiled paper he shows how age affects
the American girls chances, how they
are affected by business conditions and
war, in which States her chance are best,
in which worst, the influence of educa-
,tion on matrimony. marriages in the
country, etc. This writer asserts that
the Americans girls chances of securing
a husband are considerably better than
the Europeans girls. for the reason that
there are but 965 women to every l,W0
men in the United States, while in the
countries of the old world there are more
women than men.
Shamrocks and White heather have been
lone to DEATH, and now we have come to
the enameIed leaf of the horse chestnut,
with gems sparkling upon it here and
there. 1t is not only employed for lockets
and brooches, but appears on card-eases,
pocketbooks and blotting books. 1t figures,
too. in the embroidery on. evening gowns,
when the burs and glossy fruit are inter-
mingled with the pretty white pink-tinged
flowers. With such a dress an enameled
necklet of small horse chestnut leaves is
singularly effective.
So.
The closely-ftted, open-fronted princesse
dress. curving away at the sides over a
plain petticoat front, and cut almost as
long at the back as the u~nderskirt, is
especially becoming to the short woman,
who needs the effect of long straight lines.
The new skirt-modeIs display a variety
in shapes and decorations to suit every
figure, but the habit-like outline and eff
feet below the waist are universal, what
ever may be the disposal of textiles and
trimmings on the lower half of the skirt.
So
A pale 'amandier'' green has large
punches of maidenhair fern, also carried
out in white broche, each bouquet being
bound by a .%brocaded bow and ends resem-
bling lace. In one case the lace is white,
in another black and white mingled, but
extremely light in design.
The American physicians are protesting
against the pernicious habit of injecting
perfume into the human body. Besides
being unhealthful to many the hab is es-
pecially obnoxious, particularly if it is
carried to excess, as it usually is. The
thoroughly we'll groomed woman has no
need to inject perfumes under the skin.
The daily tub, the vigorous rundown, ard
the soupcon of violets which attaches it
self from the free use of delicatcly per-
fumed sachet bags are all that are needed
for bodily sweetness.
Perfumes injected are longer in losing
their strength and retain their odor long,
err than by use in any other way. Those

careless about buying the purest and

such cases as these that the bad effect Of
this French fad are mostly felt.
This custom is by no means e one.
There are many establishments in Paris
which have been founded solely for the
purpose. The outfit consists of aNhypo-

I should like to say a great many more
things if / had space, says the Ladies'
Home Journal" I should like to say that
| developing common taste is a great bond
| between husband and wife Opinions and
convictions may widely differ without af-
fecting married happiness, but for really
| good fellowship tastes must coincide They
must like to do the same things, to go to
the same places, like the same people, find
| the same things funny and the same things
interesting. and each III be satisfied with
with the way in which the other conducts
| himself or herself in the small properties
| of life. For in marriage, as in all the rest
of living, only the occasional moment finds
us on the heights; our days and our years
must be spent in the Valley Of Common
place Things.
