the lamp Is to stand.
The materials required are three and
one-half yards china silk. two and one

gold braid to sew around the rings and
to form frames for the five pictures
which adorn the sides.
Cut lengthwise piece of silk three
yards long and one-half inch wider
than the distance from the top ring to
the base of the frame. The extra half
inch is to allow for the turning In Of

knowledge the invitation to a recital
in the same manner and form as it
was received. l do not believe 1t is
customary to give gifts except flow
ers; they are always permissible and
acceptable and should be sent the day
of the recital or presented to the artist
during the performance.
At all receptions there should be
some friend in charge to see that all
persons are asked to the dining-room.
This necessary individual not being
present, 1t is fmmaterial who makes
the suggestion, but perhaps the lady
should take the lead. 1t is always
more convenient for a man to be seat
ed on the right hand side.
1t Is proper to introduce a man to a
woman always, no matter what the
age of the latter, and If it Is two men
or two women to be introduced, 1t is
always the younger to the older.
1t all depends on the hour and init
macy of the friendship whether a
young man goes into the house. If
1t is late the escort usually knows
what is best to do and takes his de-
parture at once.

On each stem is flower in an ex-
