Or teas it would be in better taste to call
upon the ladies whom you wish to have re-
ceive with you rather than to write them
a formal note asking this favor. because
during your visit you may explain just
how large the reception will be, how elab-
crate your costume, and whether one Of
the ladies will be expected to off1ciate at
the tea table or not. The guest of honor at
a tea receives an invitation like that OF
any other guest when tea, luncheon or
dinner Is given specially to her.
The guest of honor at tea will arrive a
little earlier than the other visitors and
remain somewhat later. but at a luncheon
or dinner she will appear at the regular
time, that is, few minutes before the
hour set.

entirely a matter Of personal taste.
1t is not customary to give presents to
the ladies' who assist the hostess in re-

always is pretty courtesy to give flowers.
If invited to o'clock dinner, arrange
to arrive at five minutes before @. Five
minutes before the hour is proper. when
you are asked to a luncheon. dinner or any
sit down meal. The appearance of guest
a long time before the appointed time Is an
unwarranted intrusion on the time OF The

weeks in advance, and If some prominent

discouraging inasmuch as it teaches that
the hero or heroine thereof Is exempt or
tons which most cildren find besetting
them. A battle nearly always is inevitable
before victory is assured.
Biography. the record Of q great and
good life simplif1ed in the telling to be
within a child's comprehension. impresses
forcibly the principles Of right and wrong
and their respective influence upon the
happiness, success, misery or downfall OF
mankind.S
In stories Of animals and plants are con-
veyed ideas Of food and clothing. "of the
simple relatedness of all things, the epic OF
growth. reproduction and decay. The
child that hears the story Of the 'Discon-
tented Pine" or Of the ugly Duckling' is
enriched and quickened in its knowledge
Of itself.
Stories take the child out of itself into a
wider range Of thought, feeling and pur-
pose Customs Of other countries, folk
lore, geography. chivalry, deeds Of valor,
renown and self-sacrifice may then be
made familiar.
Many Things
Regarded by fond. ambitious mothers as
duties are better honored in the omissions
than in the commissions.
Simple toilets, habits and diet are un-
questionably advantageous to the health
happiness and best development Of nursery
folk. These maintained to the exclusion
or tuckS, ruff1eS, embroidery and the many
snares Of fashion would leave leisure to
manv mothers for a course of reading
necessary to her improvement for the best
guidance of the child. There often is an
unspoken feeling that in devoting a
tain portion of the day to the reading idle
ness has been INDUCED in to the neglect
of more important duties. Margaret Ogilvy
said in Barries book that 1t hardly was
respectable to read In the morning" One
discouraged mother had abandoned all
hope of reading anything but the Bible
and cook book.
This comes from a mistaken sense Of val
ues The better the mother the better the
child. and the more cultured the mother
the more cultured the child.

Mother Goose and all her rhymes may be

1t is remarkable how easily children are

position.
Change the nurse for a bright and cheer
full person and watch the marked change
it will make in the little ones happiness.
Children are remarkably susceptible TO
unpleasant conditions, and are much more
intuitive than they ordinarily are given
credit for being.
Scenes or demonstrations of sorrow or
trouble carefully should be guarded
against when they are near, for the nerv-
Gus strain consequent upon such Is mucn
greater than their little strength should
be called upon to bear
1t also is we'll to give little chiid credlt

their inexperience and the time they have

II is greatly for their own good and that

do their own thinking, and occasionally to
abide by their judgment in certain mat
ters We really have no right to insist on
doing all their thinking for them without
considering that the child has any judg-
ment or right in the matter.

out fourteen days in advance. but for

A good hostess remembers always that
her husband must take out to dinner that
guest to whom she wishes to show great
est honor.
It Is said IL gentlemen will look at their
host and ladies at their hostess upon en-
tering the dining room and watch their
eyes there never will be any doubt as to
where they are to sit at the table.
In the Contest

wear the colors of the two colleges they
choose to represent. AS instance, orange

the last bag leaves the final hand of either

There is such q wide difference In the
dizziness with which persons use their

The Lamp
Never should be placed in the center OF
the dining table, either for formal occa-
sions or in the family circle. Not only
does it obstruct the view of those about
the board, but it is sure to shine in the
eyes of any one sitting in front OF 1t,
causing discomfort. When. the dining table
is lighted from above care likewise should
be taken.
The lights either should be high above
the heads of those at table, or in the case
of one of those low hanging lamps of octa-
gon shape now so much in vogue, long
fringes should be fastened to the lower
edge
In the arrangement of lights and flowers
for dinner parties novelties always are
being devised by the caterers and forlsts'
but this is subject upon which fancy is
allowed to run without criticism. A pretty
artistic effect which bespeaks the fndi-
viduality of the hostess, always is appre-
ciated and pleasing if 1t does not interfere
with the comfort of her guests, as by plac-
ing a high centerpiece of any sort upon a
table set for luncheon or dinner.
