to run valentine party or thirty diff
ferent modes of individualizing tea,
and feels more bewildered the more
perienced guest, the social favorite,
the one who is invited out every day
in the year, comes to long exceeding
ly for the essential simplicities of
hospitality, with as few frills and
complications as possible.
The three prime materials of hos
pitality are shelter, food and well
come. To amuse ones guests is not
a necessity, really, because if they
are welcome, entirely comfortable
and we'll fed, they are so easily
amused as to require almost no
trouble. BY simply putting the right
people together, either at CONVERSE
ton orat cards, they make their own
entertainment. Few hostesses do
this. They invite lot of people
because these people have at different
times invited them. The result Is
small social chaos which they have
to amuse every minute, and which
they feel bound to overfeed. This
is not hospitality, but pretense at 1t.
A thoroughly comfortable set of
rooms, not over nor under heated, a
we'll cooked dinner of four courses
Tor two, for that matter) instead OF
ten, the right people round the table,
and a game, little music, or coy
conversation afterwards, is the ideal
of the diner-out. Any hostess who
provides these simple materials may
be sure of having her invitations de-
sired. There have been teas with
out flowers or rolled sandwiches or
frappe which have nevertheless been
true successes. When the hostess Is
genuinely glad to see her guests, and
evidently enjoys having them, de-
tails fade away and are forgotten,
and the guest is glad to be there,
too. And as hostess goes on enter
tertaining in this true way, she
learns, naturally and inevitably, how
to add special touches and improve
on herself until she becomes a gen.
uine expert, and people say, When
ever I go to Mrs. KS I always have
such a good time!"

WEDDING INVITATIONS.

Wedding cards come thick and fast
in the autumn, and etiquette govern
ing their acknowledgment is SO pre-
else that there should be no excuse
in making an error.
Invitations to a church service, un-
less the ceremony is to be a small
one, require no answer when re-
except that of mourning, should call
upon the parents be omitted within
a fortnight after the wedding. I say
call upon the parents supposing the
invitations were issued in their
names, says the New York Evening
Telegram. If for any reason others,
such as guardians or relatives, send
out the invitations, the visit should
be made to them. The point is that
whoever was so courteous as to send
the invitation should receive the re-
turn politeness-a call. If a widower
issues the wedding invitation wom-
an receiving one posts her card with
that of her husbands as an acknowl-
edgement to the sender.
Reception cards require no previous
acknowledgment but are treated
like any other invitation. A visiting
card is left by those who are present
at such an affair, and those who are
unable to go post cards to be received
on the date of the function. Of course
if one is hidden to the breakfast, o.
the number of invitations to the
house is small, these are acknowl-
edged as soon as received In this
case, however, such requests are US
ually written by the bride or her
parents, and are quite informal, so
that the answer is a note written in
the same style.
Whenever the engraved invitations
bear the letters R. S. V. P, an an
swer must be made at once.

The Viewers Design.

Life is a flying shuttle. But the
pattern grows, the web is wrought.
1t takes both dark threads and golden
to work out Gods design. You can
not judge the purpose of the Weaver
by the thrust of one shuttle or the
weave of one thread, whether it be
dark or bright. All things work
together for good to them that love
Cod" We are yet on the loom. The
shuttles are not yet empty. Give God
time to put this and that, dark
threads and bright, together, and
complete the purpose of His provi-
dence With every new day let us
think less of our present desire and
more concerning the divine Weaver's
design.-G. B. F. Hallock, D. D.

IT. Failed to Persuade,

A well-known officer has beauti-
full daughter. A young ensign, with
no resources but his salary, fell in
love with her, and asked the old gen.
tleman for her hand. The father at
once told him that he had hardly
enough to keep him in white gloves
and to FURNISH his brass buttons.
well, Admiral, what you say is
true; but when you married you were
only a midshipman, with even a
smaller salary than mine. How did
you get along?" asked the young en-
sign, who thought he had made a
good defense.
But not so. The crafty old sea-dog

Plant Like A Camel.

The nearest thing to camel
among plants is a curious specimen
of the cucumber family which bears
the name of the Ibervillea sonorae.
This plant, like the camel, is native
of the desert and it has to go with
out water longer than the animal.
AS the rainy season in the desert
comes only once year nature pro-
vides the plant with reservoir to
store up enough moisture to last 1t
between times. The organ in which
the water is stored is located at the
base of the STEM 1t is covered with
sort of macintosh envelope,
through which the water can neither
escape nor evaporate. =
This water holder rests on the
sand throughout the entire period of
drought, but when the rain comes 1t
springs into activity.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

WISE WORDS.

Most of difficulties are neglected
duties.
1t takes an uplifted eye to keep a
clean heart.
When ambition weds avarice as
piration dies.
No man can be great until he can
see greatness.
Living for men is the best evidence
of loving God.
He can not pray for himself who
prays only for himself.
The evil we remember is surpassed
by the good we forget.
It takes some frost to ripen the
best fruits Of the heart.
The weeds of prejudice grow best
in an intellectual desert.
If there is nothing heavenly here
there is no heaven there.
Inclination always furnishes the
most convincing argument.
Watch your works and your wings
will take care of themselves.
Every choice in life is an impact
that determines the shape of char
acter.
No man ever succeeded in walking
one way when he was looking an
other.
If you sell your soul you will never
be able to make enough to buy it
back.
You always can measure man by
the things that provoke him to mer-
riment.
You can always get fine feathers
with money, but fine face you can
not buy.

There is no vital power in relig-

sious character.
The ideal that is only a dream and

INSOMNIA.

When we have to deal with the host
of individuals who really need to
sleep. but whose condition is such
that the boon is not granted, the
problem becomes more complex. In
somnia is very often of purely func-
tional origin, depending upon mental
overwork, excessive anxiety or worry,
or an accusing conscience, the symp-
toms being aggravated in the nervous
and impressionable.
Some memory culturists advise
their students, on retiring: to care
fully review the details of the day. :;
events. This may be beneficial to
the memory, but to the system it is
pernicious, for, after this habit IS
once formed, the act becomes invol-
untary, and insomnia is the almost
inevitable result. Happy, indeed, is
he who can Danish every care as soon
as his head touches the pillow, COM
pose his mind and fall into refresh
ing sleep. Determined effort may
make this possible.
AS insomnia is symptom only,
says medical writer in the Mothers
Magazine, medical treatment for tenn
porary relief, especially hypnotics and
narcotics, is out of place, and drugs
should lie the last resort.
CORSETS FOR GIRL ATHLETE.
1 am twenty-one and an athletic
girl. I ride bike" and play ten
mis-, golf, hockey and football, and
take long walks with dad. Of course,
in playing games, ETC.. I wear cor
sets not very tight and broad-heeled
boots, but after good day at any
sport, when l come in and take my
bath and dress for tea or dinner,
I certainly like to be well dressed.
I put on my high-heeled slippers
and smaller corsets, which lace very
tightly. My ordinary measure is
eighteen and one-half inches, but
have one or two frocks in which
get down to seventeen and one-half
inches. But as to the sensation,
really find it delicious, feeling OF
being held together, braced up, etc.
With tightly laced corsets l hold my
head erect, step out we'll and keep
my chest out like the drill-master at
school used to make us. The actual
feeling of being we'll laced up is
genuinely pleasurable and delightful
There is certain amount of mod
Grafton to be observed. I do not
care to wear high heels or tight cor
sets in the streets, or for games or
long walks, having broad low heels
and easy corsets for those occasions.

corsets are permissible, but 1 really
