How to keep the nursery in order is
a problem which puzzles more than
one fond parent with overworked serv-
ants, but here is a plan which seems to
solve the difficulty somewhat: Along
the length of the room three shelves
may be fitted. On the top shelf Moth
ing is placed, but from it is suspended
a china silk curtain on a brass rod. The
other two shelves contain toys and are
divided perpendicularly into compart-
ments, so that each child has its own
place and is responsible for putting the
same in order and keeping it so. Some
Of these compartments can be arranged
as doll houses by their youthful owners.
Anyway, the sense of proprietorship
and responsibility is established, and
the child is taught lessons of order and
neatness.

SMALL POINTS OF
SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
THE primary object OF all social
gatherings. from afternoons at
home to large and formal dinner

n HE primary object OF all social
gatherings, from afternoons at
home to large and formal dinner
parties, is to give pleasure. The host
ess on such occasions certainly is
moved by the desire to give pleasure to
her guests. The guests on their part
should meet her halfway and help her.
We should attend social functions
with the chief object of affording salts
faction to others. 1t is true that some
men and women who have outlived ro-
nance and generous social impulses go
to parties, especially dinner parties, to
feed, but these are only to be mentioned
as an awful example of what not to do
Let US say a lady has regular after
Moons at home. She sends cards to
those whom she wishes to be present.
These may drop in informally on any Of
the reception AFTERNOONS during the
season. 1t is not absolutely necessary
to acknowledge by a note the receipt
of Eat home" cards, though it is a
graceful and thoughtful act to do so,
courteously thanking the hostess for
her remembrance of one. Ladies pune
tiHous in all matters make it rule to
answer every invitation.
Certain it is that every invitation
where refreshments are to be served
should be answered promptly. This is
50 that the hostess may know how
many guests she is to provide for. If
a formal dinner or a large evening
party, with supper, is to be given the
response must be immediate, either &C
cepting or declining. 1t is unpardon-
able to put off answering an invitation
to such a function till a day or two
before it comes off.
Again, still considering that the main
object of social gathering is to give
rather than to receive pleasure. every
guest should expect to contribute some
thing to the general entertainment.
Few persons are brilliant enough talk
ers to depend on their conversational
gifts for amusing and interesting 9th
ers during any considerable length of
time. YEARLY and stupidity lag the
leaden moments where there is moth
ing doing"
So let us have some specially cult
waited social gift. If we are not called
on to exploit it, well and good. It does
not matter We have it ready.
Nothing equals good music for enter
tanning. Persons who can sing well or
play skillfully on a musical instrument
should thank their stars They are al
ways in demand. Then there are reci-
tations and stories. Those on the comic
order are specially in demand. Let US
always make this sad world laugh
when we can. Many books are now on
the market which contain Rotations
and anecdotes adapted to social occa-
sions. Almost anybody can become
proficient in humorous recitation, and
the clever raconteur can always add
out of her own head laughable little
touches suited to the special occasion
Besides the music and recitations, wit
ty artists sometimes amuse the guests
at a reception by humorous lightning
chalk drawings. To be a good dancer
is also to possess social qualifications

Success Must Be Earned.

The other evening 1 went to a mu-
sicale at the Waldorf. The heroine of
the evening was a youthful vioIinist
who played charmingly and had floral
offerings by the score presented to her
pie white frock.
''How lovely it must be to have tai
ent!" gushed a woman at my side. She
was one of those overfed specimens
who have never known anything but
luxury. How I wish had gone in for
something of this sort instead of mar
rying!"
Really, had to laugh. She had cho-
sen marriage, as she chose everything
else, because it was the easiest way of
getting a comfortable life and of hav-
ing luxuries showered on her.
DO you know how much that little
girl has studied?' remarked. well,
happen to know that from her twelfth
year-and she is now twenty-she has
practiced very nearly all day every
day. Her parents live in a country
town very dull very stupid. She has
had no fun, no parties, like other girls.
Her one recreation has been going to
town twice d week for German or vio-
lin lessons, and this, her debut, is the
reward of eight years of hard study.
Now, tell me, would you have the per-
severance to work eight years for one
hour of applause?"
She didn't say much, but I gathered
that she wouldn't, although she was
very fond of the applause.

Yet, looking at the paintings made

No one has done more for decorative

Thurber Wheeler. In the field of inte-

pioneer. Always she sought to lead
her own sex away from the mere over
loading of frippery ornamentation. In
behalf of true, dignified interior decora-

has published a number of books on art

For it's odd how much good sleep and
full meals have to do with the success
of a woman who is not as strong as she
might be.
Do you know. think there would be
profit if some one would start novel
bureau of information which would tell
its applicants after living with them
intimately for a day or two what they
were best fitted for. Information of
that sort is decidedly valuable when
you consider that people very often
waste half their lives trying to find out
where their strongest point lies. and
very often when they do find it out
there is neither time nor money to have
it cultivated because the knowledge
comes too late.
Its a mistake to think men always
want that sort Of conversation" re-
marked a friend of mine as he laid
down Anthony Hopes early success,
''The Dolly Dialogues ct may have
been so a few years ago. but it is not a
bit the case now. suppose the reaction
has come because, after reading this

to extremes becomes deadly tiresome."
