"Is it proper for one lady to rise when
introduced to another lady?
Mrs. F. B. H."
1t all depends. If the first lady has on
a new dress she may as we'll rise and
show it off. Under ordinary circumstan-
ces it is not held absolutely necessary to
rise. People who are thrown together in
railway wreck without the formality of
an introduction should not rise until the
wrecking crew has lifted the car off them.
"Ihave been corresponding with a young
lady for three years, and have been told
that she is planning to marry another
man. Is this courteous of her. D. F."
In affairs of the heart it is considered
best to let woman make her own code.
1t may be that the young lady is a student
of the stamp filtration, which is published
every Tuesday, Friday and Sunday in any

column, and that you have inadvertently
applied your stamps in such manner as
to intimate that you had put her in the
discard. You can never tell about this.
"Please tell me how to trim my last
falls bonnet so that it will be in style this
spring. Lizzie
Take two yards of Valenciennes lace,
or better still, an old Nottingham lace
curtain that your mother does not want
any longer, a woodcutter's maui and six
artificial roses. Place your old bonnet on
the floor and beat it with the maui for
two hours. Then drape the lace curtain
about it with large safety pins, and hide
the roses in the folds.
"Kindly give me some advice about
writing poetry, also recipe for pick
ling watermelon. Housewife"
Take mediumsized watermelon and a
fountain pen. Cut the watermelon open
and be sure that the pen is well filled with
an ink that will not leak. Having chosen
a subject for the poem, carefully remove
the seeds from the melon, and jot down
your idea, placing the pulp in an earthen
vessel filled with cider vinegar into
which has been dissolved ten pounds of
sugar Slice the rind of the melon into
equal len ngths and arrange the words of
the poem 50 that each line will end at
about the same distance from the side Of
the sheet of paper. Choose eight or ten
nice words that sound alike, for your
rhymes, and drop the rinds into pan of
hot water for five minutes. Take them
out and wipe dry with a soft cloth, and
be extremely careful to spell your words
properly. Barely cover the rinds with
salt water, and begin each line with a
capital letter. Pour the pulp into the
vessel containing the rinds and blot each
verse we'll before proceeding to the next.
Having worked in good climax for the
last stanza, cover we'll with a folded
towel and boil for ten hours. Enclose
stamps for return of unavailable manu-
script and drop fifteen whole cloves and
one pepper pod into the pickle. Always
send personal note to the editor, and
set in a cool place for week. Art is long
and time is fleeting, and she who tries to
make pickles and poetry at the same time
must take the consequences.
Araminta B.-We doubt very much
whether hard boiled eggs would make a
satisfactory founce for your Easter gown.
1t would, as you suggest, be novel and
striking. In any event be careful that the
hard boiling is q success.
Hopeful-Please do not ask us again
for the addresses Of Andrew Carnegie, j
Pieryont Morgan, John D. Rockefeller
James Corbett, Mrs. Nation or Charles
Schwab. The ANSWERS for the Anxious
editor has tried in vain to get a responst
from them to his own letters.
Henpeck-Your suggestion is about
the only thing that will stop your hail
