SUGGESTIONS FOR COUNTRY HosTEssEs.

Guests should be invited for a definite
period; the hour of the train should be
mentioned in the note or invitation, and
a,,tiIne table should be enclosed. A hostess
should not fail to be at home to greet her
guests on their arrival and offer them a
cordial welcome. Before their arrival
she should be sure that the rooms con-
tain everything for their comfort. A
hostess should be careful not to seem in
different to the enjoyment of her guests,
but she should not weary them with at
tention or give the impression that they
are being entertained. She will arrange
for their pleasure, secure invitations to
entertainments in the neighborhood and
mention to her friends that she expects
guests and that they may call if they
please She will notexact that they arise
at an unreasonable hour for breakfast,
and she will not require that they go to
drive when they prefer resting, or to sing
or talk when reading may be preferred.
The hostess suggests the evening alnuse-
ments and joins in them herself She also
proposes the time for retiring, eleven
o'clock being the usual hour for saying
goodnight, although earlier hours are
frequently kept in quiet households

Important to Mothers.

The manufacturers of Castoria have been
compelled to spend hundreds of thousands of
dollars to familiarize the public with the sig
nature of Chas. H. Fletcher. This has been
ing the Castoria trademark. This counter
fcitng is a crime not only against the pro-
prietors of Castoria but against the grow
ing generation All persons should he care
full to see that Castoria bears the signature
of Chas. II. Fletcher, If they would guard the
health of their children. Parents, and mothers
in particular, ought to carefully examine the
Castoria advertisements which have been APP
pearing in this paper, and to remember that
the wrapper of every bottle of genuine
Castoria bears the fac-simile signature OF
Chas. II. Fletcher. under whose supervision
it has been manufactured continuously for
over thirty years.

CHURCHVILLE ROAD FALLS INTO GOOD
HANDS.

The County Commissioners and the
Woolsey Commission held consultation
on Monday, and after discussing the mat
ter in every detail, finally decided to let
out the work lat the risk of the default
ing contractors" to Messrs Hunt and
Lackie The price to be paid is about
So 900 more than the contract of L. A.
Hook and Son, as calculated by Mr..
Johnson, State Engineer This amount
the commissioners will charge to the bond
filed by the former contractors.
The new contractors expect to start
work the first of next week, and while the
time limited In the contract is October
1st, they will probably have the work
completed thirty days earlier than this.
1t is their intention to attempt to have
only local labor and teams, but if this is
not satisfactory they will import the
same, SO that the work can be continued
without hindrance. They advertise else
where in this issue for both men and
teams.
Every one will be much relieved to learn
that the work has fallen in such good
hands. Mr.. Hunt is resident of Bel Air,
but has large number of railroad con-
tracts in different parts of the country,
and is specially skilled in the business
Mr.. Lackie is the Civil Engineer under
whose supervision the Bel Air Water
Works were erected, and he has done a
large amount of railroad work both in
this country and In Spanish Honduras.
The work will be expedited in every pos
sible manner, and the public will soon be
able to get some of the good effects of the
liberal provisions of the will of Mr..
Woolsey and Miss Woolsey.
