GOOD FORM QUESTIONS.
How the Laws of Society Are Observ-
ed-Wedding Gifts

Sd-WeddtnE GIFTS.
The unwrltten laws of society are
constantly changing.
At n dinner small differences are
more observable than at large and
less smart functions and there are
many little things that it behooves an
aspirant or a debutante to remember,
says the New York Tribune Women
should not rise when man is in
troduced to them; and they should
also remain seated when an acquaint-
ance greets them, putting out their
hands to be shaken. OF course in the
case of hostess or of an old or par
ticularly distinguished person this is
different. A hostess will receive all
her guests standing and do all she
can to show polite hospitality, even
accompanying them to the door of the
drawing room If she feels so inclined
when bidding them goodby.
One of the problems of modern So
cial life is the wedding present, which
was In danger of becoming a veri-
table tax unless restricted within
proper bounds. 'If 1 am asked to the
breakfast, l send a present" said a
fashionable woman recently. This is
a rule that would be as uncomfortable
for the recipient as for the donor if it
were an accepted custom. 1t is really
only necessary for intimate personal
friends or relatives to send presents
and even then, as they are intended
only to convey kindness of feeling and
sentiment rather than commercial
value. They should not be made q
bughear.
While on the subject of gifts, birth
day presents are often puzzllng. Here
are few suggestions for girls to give
to girls. Useful remembrances are ap-
preciated-bits of real lace, really
beautiful sprays of artificial flowers,
gloves, etc, to say nothing of more
utilitarian gifts of lingerie or sash rib
bons. AS custom DEGREES that a man
must confine his attention to bonbons
and flowers. he may make his souvenir
more lasting by putting the former in
n valuable box or having the latter
tied with a large bow of expensive
ribbon.
The pronouns 81" and "my' are
greatly to be avoided in general con-
versation. 81" do this or that; my"
children are so and so; my" cook,
"my" house, my" equlpages-such it.
Grafton sets terribly on the nerves of
the listener, besides being in very bad
form.

''They told the eleven and all the rest"
We are ready TO tell the eleven,
With faces and hearts aglow,
That the Lord has indeed arisen
And before His own doth go,
Through the old Galilean places
To the mountain Of sacred tryst.
To tell so fair an cyangol
Were JOY not willingly missed.
We are eager to tell the eleven
How lie sat with US at meat
And we scarce could speak for gadness
AS the air grew strangely sweet;
Thenceforth not loaf unbrolnn
Or a cup with its wine unshcd
But shall bring back the hour the Saviour
Was known In tho breaking OF bread.
And still we tell the eleven,
While unknowing and uncdNsoled,
Vast hndrcds, tongues and peoples
Are heirs OF a tale untold.
In the white light Of death and Judgment,
suflceth It then to attest,
''we told the eleven, dear Master,
But we told not all the restp"

The best way to cook an egg is to put
1t into cold water and stand on a hot
stove. Just before the water boils the
egg is soft boiled" and the white and
yoll will be found to be evenly cooked,
This manner Of cooking allows the
heat to permeate the egg evenly and
does not bring the white to a leathery
consistency while the yolk is still soft.
Stale eggs are lighter in weight than
fresh ones. A newly laid egg does not
poach nicely and it requires half n
minute longer to cook than a stale egg.

required the Presidents approval for
publication. The President asked
that the article be given to him. At
