The Prudential Girl for 1906.

The girl whose picture adorns the 1906
calender issued by the Prudential Insurance
Company Of America viii undoubtedly have
many admirers. Her attractive features and
sweet expression will assure her warm
welcome in millions Of homes, where the
Prudential calender is an expected guest
each year.
All the months and days Of the year are
grouped on the left-hand and right-hand
margins of the calendar, where they can be
readily referred to On the reverse side are
two columns, mounted with the Company's
well known trademark the Rock of Gil
bralter and condensed statement of the
various forms Of policies issued by the Pru-
DENTAL. The company announces that any
person writing to the Home Office, at New
ark, N. j., will be supplied with copy.

Dinner invitations.

For formal dinners In the city en-
grayed invitations must be issued two
weeks in advance. In the country the
invitations may be sent week in adj
vance. They are generally neatly writ
ten on plain note paper of good quality.
They simply say that 'sMr. and Mrs.
William Perkins request the pleasure
of your company to dinner on Thurs
day, Dec. IA, at 2 o'clock" or whatever
hour is selected.
American farm people who have
proper respect for themselves and their
noble vocation feel it incumbent on
themselves to be as well up in refined
social usage as the millionaire folk
are.
In sending dinner invitation the
husbands name as host is always in
cluded along with that of his wife as
hostess. In an Invitation to a mere
afternoon tea, however, only the host
ess name is used on the card. The per-
son receiving the invitation would be
great boor not to accept or decline
the hospitality at once The answer
should be in the third person, like the
invitation-thu Mr.. Tor Mrs. or Miss
Dash Blank accepts with pleasure Mr..
and Mrs William Perkins Invitation
for Thursday, Dec. IA"
In case one cannot attend, then,
Mrs. Dash Blank regrets very much
that she will be unable to accept Mr..
and Mrs. Perkins kind invitation for
Thursday, Dec. A. but it is a gross
breach of etiquette. having once ac-
cepted the invitation, not to be present.
Nothing is so irritating to a hostess as
TO find that her guests who promised
to be present on a given occasion fail
to keep their promise.

KNIFE AND FORK.

as possible. It is a fact that many of
US do not hold our knives and forks
properly or use our napkins in a well
bred way, though we know better.
And melancholy indeed it is to recall
that even in this American land of
light there are still human monsters
who eat with their knives.
The fork. for eating purposes. is usu-
ally held in the right hand, and in the
left hand when it holds food that is be-
ing cut with a knife in the right hand.
70 hold the fork properly take the end
of it in the palm of your left hand;
then clasp your thumb and fingers
around it with the forefnger running
straight down the back of it to steady
it. Hold your knife in similar man
ner in the right hand, the end of the
handle in the palm, the forefinger ex-
tended down the back edge, the thumb
and the rest of the fingers clasped
around the knife handle See that ev-
cry member of your family is in the
habit of holding knife and fork thus.
Likewise see that hone of them tucks
the napkin under the chin unless it is a
child not more than three years old.
In using finger bowls at the end of
the feast simply dip the tips Of the fin
gers into the bowl Of water and wipe
them neatly with your dinner napkin.
1t is also allowable daintily to wipe
your lips with the napkin.

The GLOUCESTER COUNTY DEMOCRAT
wishes all the people within the scope of its
circulation Merry Christmas. And with
especial emphasis we extend the compli-
ments of the holiday season TO our corps
Of news correspondents who through the
year closing have with such fidelity aided
Us IN sending to the people each week the
interesting business and social happenings
of the busy people Of this county That
their services are appreciated is attested by
the growing patronage of the paper-it is
staying with the old and each issue finds its
way into new homes to become, we hope, a
permanent attraction of the home life.
May the new year, now in sight, have
for as and those who labor with US in news
making, to record more of JOY than sorrow,
more Of prosperity than adversely, more of
health than Of illness, more of pleasure
than Of pain, more Of building up than of
tearing down and more Of local and uniyer-
sal goodwill than of contention and strife
To the accomplishment of these desirable
ends we consecrate the DEMOCRAT in the
year to come.

The Gloucester County Democrat err
r0neously refers to that faction of the Re-
publican party that is opposed to equal
taxation and limited franchises There is
no such faction. We believe the vote of
every Republican in the Legislature will be
cast for bills intended to bring about equal
taxation and limited periods for grants of
public utility franchises by municipalities.
There will be disputes over methods and
details, but there is no cleavage Of the
party on the basic principles. 2
Our neighbor, the Camden Post Telegram,
must be familiar with the proceedings Of
the Republican Assembly caucus, held Just
three days before the above was published,
hence cannot be excused for statement SO
far removed from the exact truth as the
above, on the ground Of ignorance. That
our readers may know that there are two
factions of the Republican party, and that
equal taxation and limited franchises is the
line at which they divide, we publish on
our first page the ultimatum of the Colby
Pagan faction to the caucus. If the ma
iority faction Of the Republican party is
honest in its professions, pray tell us, Mr.
Pr, why a powerful minority has taken
such drastic step as to refuse to affiliate
in the party councils?
The Republican party has professed
much on this subject; it has fooled good
MANY people for long time, but it hasn't
fooled all the people, not even all its own
people, and now the battle is on in its own
ranks.
Il laws that resultin genuine equal taxa
ton are enacted in the Legislature next
winter, it viii be because the men who
controlled the Republican caucus last week
Tuesday, were driven to it through fear Of
being left at home by an outraged people
after the elections Of 1906.
A campaign Of education has begun.

Courses For the Country Dinner.

Fewer dinner courses than were
served formerly are now dictated by
correct taste first bouillon or a light
thin soup, then an abundant meal Of
meat or poultry and vegetables, then
dessert Of pudding Or delicious
fruit pie or anything else your fancy
approves, then a finishing off with
coffee and crackers and some rich
cheese. This is quite enough for the
country dinner. especially when the la
dies Of the household do their own
work a small plate for bread and
butter is placed beside the large din
ner plate.

A dinner party among well bred ru-

entertainment in the city generally is.
For one thing, the food is better. The
delicious pumpkin pie, the fat, tender
poultry, the sweet and hard cider, the
rich cream and delicious fresh butter
are such as money cannot buy in the
city.
The hour for the rural dinner is usu-

country guests.
