HOME ITS PROBLEMS AND INTERESTS
THE ART or SPELLING
Is Not So Much Acquired as 1t Is
Natural.

An improHnptu spelling bee proved TO
the surprise of most of those who took
part in it. that spelling, to a certain eX,
tent. certainly comes by nature"
The way it HI ppened was that some
one was talking of the ignorance of the
age, I'm the matter of the very rudt-
ments of education in which our grand
parents were so religiousIy drilled. Some
one else said that scarcely any one per-
son knew the capitals of the States or
the ordinary rules of grammar, even
though he were probably putting them
into practice at the very moment, and
that spelling was sinking into nothing,
even with youngsters, besides psychol
ogy and kindred studies.
Then everybody Joined in. and out of
the hubbuh OF dissenting voices arose
one which suggested a spelling-bee. by
way OF proof.
In two rows they arranged themselves,
the leaders taking turns in calling upon
recruits TO their ranks. and the work
began, the oldest person in the house,
grandfather" who had been brought
up in the old-fashioned way and vino
knew his 4Deling book as ne did his
catechisIr-, entering into the spirit of
the game and hunting up the words he
used to fail upon.
The brightest woman IN the room was
the first TO be counted out" and a
man-a successful writer-followed her.
As in the case of Emmy Lou" the
'plodders''--the everyday peOple-weTe
the last to be moved down.
There were thirteen words given IN
rapid succession at the last, before
which the spoilers went down, one
after the other. until. at last, one man
triumphantly stood COR sat- alone-he
had outspelled the others
But every body felt that thirteen
such words were fair things to fail on.
Auxiliary" almost everybody spelled
with two rs. Tennessee seemed hope
less because of its many double letters,
''beefsteak"-a word known the world
oVer-pFoVed tough proposition for
some Of them. ''picnicking" was liberal
" dosed with ks, or the omitted en-
tirely, cylinder made trouble between
it's j and y, and sieve" and siege
and seize" IRE too near alike to be
different" IS one aspiring spelIer put It..
Proceed" AMI ''preCcde" and super
sede" made fuu. as we'll as trouble, but
the croWn5ng glcry OF all the hard
words was "desic ccate" which every
body with the exception of that one
man, spelled with two SIS and one c,
1t was rather q shock To most OF
them to discover that they knew so
little about the spelling of everyday
words. and the complaint OF almost all
of them was. If I could write IL down
Id know in a minute. Yet a curious
fact was that the same thirteen words
given out To another set of people
twho were furnished with paper and
penCiIs} met with the same dismal
failure in their spelling.

THE SOCIAL CODE

The rigidity governing the code OF
manners for THE polite world" has had
to be considerably altered since the ad-
vene of the business woman, for, de-
spite her long hours of work. she often
holds a certain position in society, but
she is exempt from certain formalities.
| The business woman is not entirely
freed from social duties, as is the
Amer can business man. and some few
obseTvances of the ceremonies Of con
VentioU still arc expected OF her. out
She is not tied down 10 severe rules. as
Is the case with her idle sister.
The business woman who Is at Work
all day long must Of necessity be e&-
empt from formal social calls, such as
should be paid between the hours of )
and $50 IN the afternoon. for il Is al
ways assumed that she is busy during
these hours excepting on Sunday
She reserves Sunday for calls OF pleas
uTe rather than ceremony
The business woman invited 10 dlnner
cannot always pay her dinner call on
her hostess within the prescribed time.
She therefore sends a note OF thanks
within a couple Of days after the dinner.
Notes are frequently substituted by
the woman for personal calls. and II IS
necessary for her 20 nave her dainty
stationery free from the slightest trace
Of suggestion Of her profession.
Great punctuality IN the matter OF
her notes of appreciation excuses the
business woman from calls ana visits
shat she has not time to attend.
She can keep in touch with her world
through these graceful missives and al
the same time couTJeously furnish ex-
cuses for seeming delinquency
There are many occasions when the
business woman can only send cards
instead of leaving them in person
The bJ Jsiness woman also sends cards
to her intimate friends, and TO those 20
whom she Is under obliga tions, an
nouucing the change IN her home ad-
dress

able Capt VanShack, the master of the
unfortunate steamer Gen. Slocum which
