If a pupil wants to make rapid progress 1t
is essential that he should not see the spelling
OF word before he has heard it pronounced by
the teacher and memorized it.
Words ought to be learnt in the following
way: Before each new lesson the teacher should
pronounce distinctly about FIVE new words, and
the pupil repeat them afterwards. Then the
meanings should be stated in English, and,
lastly their spelling should be committed to
memory.

dear little raffa heart in scarlet, pink or two
shades of the color Some Of these bear
small cards for the recipients name. Really
unique the little baskets of plated tissue
paper in several colors. These are made into
two-inch bands and hold in place the circle of
crepe paper in which the bon bons are placed.
Motto favors while not new, are amusing.
ATTRACTIVE TABLE DECORATIONS
For entrees and ices festive paper cases in
the form of roses, orchids, pond lilies and other
gracefully shaped flowers appear in striking pro-
fusion. Of course, table decorations for Val
entines Day usually pink or scarlet colors
suggestive of romance and things sentimental
A charming orchid with its stem form

maidenhair fern is one of tine most attractive
novelties offered. A sketch of this design num-
bers among the illustrations. A rose bon bon
Mere also appears and is filed with candied
rose leaves. Little conceits of this description
are placed at intervals on the table, alternating
with silver crystal dishes and COMFORTS for
bon bons, sailed nuts and other tasty tidbts
These are sold for % cents.
Bon bon favors are much improved when they
are tied with narrow ribbon to harmonic with
their color.
Dainty little baskets of crepe paper with tall
handle filled with bon bons, the handles
being wreathed in greens or bearing ribbon
bows. Satin fibre baskets and heart-shaped boxes
are also available.
Menu and name cards are pcturesquely de-
signed with hand-painted Cupids, arrow-pierced
hearts and miniature heads of pretty girls in
quaint bonnets done in water colors These
are variously shaped, some in double hearts,
others obong, with droll verses applicable to
the recipient.
Especially pretty are the new name cards of
paper in the form of floral wreaths and fan
ciful decorations which fit about the rim of
steamed wine glasses. These are sold from rs
cents to $150.
AMATEUR ART IN CANDLE SHADES.
Candle shades should be suggestive of the oc
casion and swing in with the motif employed
| for the table decorations.
When a quantity of silver is employed, silver
candle shades in scroll designs with fringe
of pink beads produce the best results. Roses
of silk and paper especially pretty where
the centrepiece is also of roses.
Many girls fashion their own candle shades
and many of the table decorations for that mat
ter. Two examples of homemade art are shown
in the illustrated tables. One shade is designed
with large and smaller hearts, with pendent
hearts for the fringe, The hearts are edged
with silver paint. Other shades were made of
pink satin and on these were painted medallion
heads OF girls in gilt paper frames studded
with turquoise beads. plain silk fringe was
placed along the edge. This idea is really one
of the cleverest and most effective / have seen,

The usual way in which the teacher corrects
the mistakes made by the student in a dicta-

not being sufficiently impressed by the corree-

The teacher should make the pupil try to
discover his own errors first and those which
he could not rectify himself should be cor

HOW SHOULD LANGUAGES BE STUDlEDg
Two of the essential conditions in studying q
language are thoroughness and continuity. Once
undertaken the study must be pursued without
interruption till the coveted goal is reached.
The chief idea that occupies a pupil who is
going 10 learn a foreign language is how long
he viii have to learn it. The question is un-
reasonable, as it entirely depends on the time
the pupil intends deyotinR to the study, his abil.
tiles, and other circumstances. On an average,
however, it should take at least one year for a
pupil who takes regularly two or three private
lessons week, and who studies it by himself
about one hour day.
TIME FOR LEARNING.
Although everyone has, as a rule, his best
time for learning. the pupil is advised to de.
vote half an hour in. the morning for purely

when they could clearly ascertain that
