In
Making a call the guest rises as the host
ess enters the drawing room. The hostess
offers her hand in greeting, and seats her
self near the caller so there will be no eX-
cessive formality or stiffness about the oc-
casion.
The visitor remains from twenty minutes
to half an hour, when she rises. 1t is not
necessary to say anything about intended
departure Her rising from her seat is suf-
'ficient intimation to her hostess that she in
tends taking her leave.
1t is not considered at all necessary for
the hostess to urge her guests to prolong
their visit In the case of intimate friends
this is often done, but with more formal
acouaintances it is thought to be in bad
taste She simply rises, again gives her
hand and says something to the effect that
the coming has afforded her great pleasure.
If no other guests are present she usually
accompanies the visitor to the door OF the
house although many women insist the
hostess should go no farther than the draw
ing room door When there are other visit
ors in the drawing room, or If the depart
ing guest be man, the hostess never goes
beyond the drawing room door. Likewise
the hostess who keeps butler never goes
with her guests to the door, for the butler
is always in attendance upon the hall when
there are VISITORS
in the afternoon a cup of tea is always Of
fered visitors The maid either brings in Il
tray containing a small teapot, a silver
pitcher of hot water, a small pitcher of milk
or cream, or little dish of sliced lemon
and a plate of cake, or tiny three cornercd
bread and butter sandwiches. If there Is
a tea table in the corner of the room the
hostess herself makes the tea for her
guests; but the former method is now con-
sidered smarter
Except occasionally on a reception or at
home day IL is no longer considered good
form to have tea table in the drawing
room
Two Games.
Any number of people may be pleasantly
entertained for an hour in the follow
ing manner: Let the hostess provide some
long -stemmed Jacqueminot roses for the
ladies, and some boutonnieres of white and
crimson carnations for the gentlemen, and
invite each guest, in turn, to leave the room
for a few moments while the flowers are
hidden away in some secluded corner, pin
ned in the folds of a curtain, placed behind
a picture-anywhere out of sight. The ban

To Cure
Dyspepsia by means of exercise try punch
ing bag. Suspend it at convenient
height from the floor to permit of pounding
it vigorously after the manner of a prize
fighter. You must wear gloves to protect
your knuckles.
Twisting the body around in both direc-
tions from the waist is a good exercise.
Leaning forward and then backward as
ia. as possible also to the right and to the
left is good practice Interlock the thumbs,
and with the knees straight, bend forward
until the tips of the fingers touch the floor.
Rise to an upright position with the arms
above the head.
Besides curing your dyspepsia these ath-
letics will expand your chest, put roses
in your cheeks, and grace and vigor in
every motion. Any weakness or rapid and
short duration you may nave arises from
want of exercise. The less exercise one
takes the less one is fitted for and the more
one needs it. without exercise blood thick
ems and becomes sluggish; nerves are dis
ordered, and muscles grow fiaccid

Nuts
Are generally considered indigestible but
there is a class of writers on dietary mat
ters which teaches that most nuts are
wholesome if not mixed with certain other
kinds of food
In German hospitals 1t Is said the peanut
is used as a staple article of food and
cooked much as dried beans or peas would
be. Flour is made from the nuts and used
in China and Germany for bread or cakes.
We have not gone quite so far as this, but
believers in a nut diet must be greatly
cheered by the fact that the sale of nut
meats has taken its place as an industry,
and by the recognition of nuts in the prep
aration of many dishes where they Were
once not dreamed Of
Nuts added to most salads are an inn
provement thereof, and. unless they must
be blanched, they are little or no trouble to
prepare, especially If the nut meats are

The Bath Tub

Among the crosses many housewives
have TO annoy them is bathtub of unin-
viting appearance in Il room that otherwise
ovating. The furnished surface may re-
fuse to become bright, no matter what
cleaning materials employed.
BY being your own workman you may,
at a triAing expense, make the tub quite
desirable. Procure small can of common
paint of any light color desired, a can of
enamel paint of the same color. and a
good-sized brush. Cut eight or ten inch
pieces of yellow soap into bits, and put
Il over the fire to dissolve in a couple of
quarts of water. Fill the bathtub with hot
water, and throw in a generous handful
of powdered boraX and the dissolved soap.
When the water becomes cool enough TO
put the hands in it scrub the surface with
a brush letting the water run off as the
work is done. Again partly fill the tub
with hot water and scrub it with the brush
and sand soap to make sure that all greasy
particles have been removed Then rinse
II in clear hot water and thoroughly dry.
Cover it with two coatings of the COM
mon paint, letting one thoroughly dry be-
fore putting on the second coat. Then give
IL several coats of the enamel paint. This
paint will dry more quickly than the other
and the bath will no longer be an unsightly
object Care must be used not to run hot
water into the bath alone until the paint
has hardened.

same material is used at the windows Blue
cotton stamped in white, with the shelves
set out in blue and white china, makes de-
lightful curtains. The style is an ideal ar
rangement in little apartment, and with
the opulence that lives in a big city house
comes the means that can buy handsome
sideboard of fine wood and excellent de-
sign.
The cupboard may be made more elaborate
by inclosing the lower shelves with doors
having well wrought iron hinges of brass
or copper. The upper shelves can have
glass doors. or they be left open.
Next to the sideboard i'm Importance are
the dining room chairs. If sideboard and
chairs have exhausted ones resources one
can content ones self in the reflection that
a cheap table can hide its cheapness be-
meath a cloth.
The dining room needs single rug under
the table, large enough to surround the
chairs about the table-not so thick to
catch the chair legs, and not thin TO

The Washing
OF ribbons is not always attended by the
best results The following is a milliner's
method and most successful. Put the rib
bon into a basin of warm water, rub on
some good white soap, and wash as you
would anything else. While still wet iron
on the right side with a hot iron, and
when dry rub between the hands as if
then iron again to remove the wrinkles.
When ribbons are washed in this way it is
difficult to tell them from new.

ence how difficult it is to wash successfully
a crocheted shawl and have it look fluffy

ished guest is then asked to return, and is
told that a flower has been hidden away,
and if he or she chooses to seek it the
hostess will kindly assist by playing on the
piano while the search is in progress.
THE Flower Song would be an appropri-
ate selection, played softly until the seeker
approaches the spot where the posy is hid
den, and then more loudly thus giving a
clue to the hiding place of the prize. The
nearer the approach to the spot the louder
and faster the music must be played, until
the souvenir is finally captured and fast
ened VIGOROUSLY in the lady's belt or on the
lapel of the gentleman's coat.
In these days of much letter writing,
when every one is expected to be able to
quote correctly, it would be well for young
people to familiariZe themselves with quo
tations generally termed familiar
1t is safe to say that no one, be he ever so
clever can quote correctly. To prove this,
some evening when you are looking for
amusement that will combine pleasure with
profit try the game of quotations.
Distribute among your guests cards con-
tanning twelve supposedly well-known quo
tations, misquotng all save one. Announce
that to the person wording the quotations
correctly, and to the one selecting the cor
rectly quoted one, prizes will be given.
When the cards are handed in compare
them with some standard books of quota
tons and then announce the prize winners.
II is unlikely that there will be any. But
there will be lots of merriment, much dis
cussion and much reference to the authority
before your guests will be willing to ac-
knowledge themselves to have been mis-
taken.
The Hostess Ideal.
Opinions differ as to what constitutes an
ideal hostess, but according to number of
society women who were recently discussing
the subject, here are some of the indispen~
sable qualities she must possess:
She must make you feel individually that
you the favored guest. She must make
you feel perfectly at home. She must see
everything, and yet possess the art of SEEM
ing to see nothing. She must never look
bored She must know how to keep con-
versation always going. She must never let
any one be sighted or overlooked. She must
know when to ask the amateur musician to
display his or her talents. She must be per-
fectly unselfish about her own pleasures
She must not neglect her guests, and, at the
same time, must not give them too much of
her society. She must remember that moth
ing is so tireSome, surely death to all en-
joyment, the feeling that one is being
entertained.
In word, the ideal hostess must, above
everything, possess patience.

TIPS FOR OCEAN TRIPS

sFss3fs2lt' -
The woman who is preparing for her first
long water-trip is apt TO be the victim OF
wel-meaning bat ovcr-zealous friends.
Whether she is bound for a tour OF the
great lakes or is going by a coastwise
steamer to Alaska or South America. or
by one of the great ocean liners across
the Atlantic or Pacific. she is deluged with
advice and suggestions until her head
swims and her trunks bulge.
Here are a few practical suggestions Of

experienced ship surgeon and head stew
