"what is a hirt?" someone asks, and
some wise person gives the following
definitions:
"A misguided Individual who wants
all loves roses without any thorns, and
Usually ends with nothing but
scratches.
Zone who leads you to paradise and
then rudely slams the door In your
face.
1.-THE wasp of society. rihing all the
flowers of friendship, but producing no
honey.
lone who destroys the youthful be-
lief in all that is good and pure.
zone who jangles life's sweetest
melodies and puts them out of tune.
zone whose qualification is another's
modification.
Zone who desires to please, Graves
universal admiration, experiments in
love, and helps educate man to marry
other women"
All of which would give n the idea
that all hirts were women and that a
male firt was a thing unheard Of.
Well, there are male hirts, and the
only difference between them and the
women who flirt is that they are ever
more cruel and heartless than most
women.
One can inc some excuse for q girl
who win nirt, because we nus ac-
knowledge that there are some girls
whose empty vanity ~ be satisfied

Kindly publish In the Question Box
the best way to clean white shades.
I have a number of them. and have
asked a number of laundry men how
to clean them, without getting re-
plies. Thanking you in advaice,
MRS. L..
White Holland shades may be
cleaned by laying them fiat on a table
and ~scrubbing well with soap and
water. They must be rinsed in blu
ing water and Their in clear water.
Hang In the sunshine by tying strings
at the upper ends of the curtains.
Do not fold over a line. When dry,
danhpen with a wet towel. lay a piece
of white muslin over the back of the
curtain. and iron perfectly dry,
dampening the muslin as needed. The
shades may be cleaned with pure block
magnesia, also.
VIII you please inform me in the
Question Box what is the proper an
swer to an invitation to an "at homer"
Also. IL 1t should be inconvenient for
you to go should you send your card?
And oblige,
ONE WHO DOES NOT KNOW.
The form of an invitation usually
indicates whether an answer is eX-
pected. When a hostess sends cards
for a tea or an ''at home" she is merely
notifying her friends that she will be
at home on a certain afternoon, and
they may call or send cards, as they
please. A written reply is not neces-
sary. 1t makes no difference to her
in point of convenience or numbers
they call or not. She Is pre-
pared to receive her friends generally,
and is not obliged to fill any vacant
places, as in giving a luncheon, din
or card party.
Please let me know through the
Question Boz what will take spots
out of a navy blue silk skirt. I think
they are grease spots. Answer as
soon as possible, and oblige,
A DAILY READER.
Mix equal parts of powdered French
chalk and fullers earth to a paste with
water, Inc apply to the spots. allow
ing 1t to stay on for a few days be-
fore brushing 1t off.
Or spread the fabric over a piece
of blotting paper and lay a ring of
French chalk or fuller's earth around
the spot to keep the grease from
spreading. Then rub gently with a
soft cloth dipped frequently in ether,
or chloroform. Rub gently with a dry
cloth, and If a ring remains around
spot. sponge 1t gently with chloro-
form.
If the spots are large would advise
you to take the skirt to a professional
cleaner.

A BEAUTIFUL GOWN.

A dress of exceptional beauty was seen
this week. 1t wat fashioned Of a rich
looking piece of champagne colored Vene-
tian cloth with a jumper waist. outlined
with brown velvet ribbon about one-eighth
Of an inch wide. This velvet also extends
down the centre Of the skirt where It d.
vides at the knee line and outlines an imi-
tation vandyke tunic skirt. The ribbon
being so extremely narrow does not detract
from the beatuy OF the dress. but serves
to bring out the graceful outlines. The
.guimpe and sleeves are Of point d'eaprit.

Over-foppishness.

1t is all right for a man to be par
ticular as to his appearance, but ne
makes the greatest kind of a mistake
when he begins to overdo 1t,
We can forgive a woman for being
fussy about her wearing apparel and
for desiring to be right in the lead as
regards the latest modes, but when her
brother becomes addicted to the same
ideas we have nothing for him but
contempt and dislike.
HE makes me weary exclaimed a
girl after she had bowed to a man on
Broad street the other day. HE spends
all of his time in a wild chase after
the newest fashions, which he Is bound
to wear, whether they are becoming
or not. Imagine a man of his build
trying to wear the extremely long
coats and very wide, t%urned-up trous-
ers thai are considered the real thing
just nowi / suppose he thinks he looks
handsome"

see a man gazing admiringly at him

1t is bad enough when a woman

is positively ~inexcusable.
| DO not think real men are
over fond of their dudish brothers,

Perhaps l am altogether wrong. but 1t
has always seemed to me that over
fonpishness In a man indicated weak
ness and lack of decision. Certainly II
he was possessed of many strong char
acteristios he would not be foppish.
A girl told me n c that she hated a
man of her acquaintance with all her

enough, / think. when one can under
