BETWEEN TWO GIRLS.
Mareev Doon

Dear Margery Doom:
l used to go with a girl whom I have
always known, but we had a quarrel
last veal and have not spoken since.
I am a girl OF IS. Miss Doom, l do not
care to go with any other girl, and am
very anxious to become friends with
her. Just now she is going with an
other girl. 1 do wish she would be
friends with me again. and that she
would go around with me. Kindly adj
wise me as TO the best thing to do.
HEARTBROKEN.
Young girls are often SO very, very
silly about their quarrels, refusing to

A YOUTHFUL WRITER.

Dear Miss Doom:
Is it wrong for a young girl of four
teen to correspond with boys? A boy
of sixteen has asked me to, and I
do not know what to do. He is a per-
feet gentleman. Also, is it wrong to go
to the theatre with him? My parents
think I am too young.
TROUBLED.
Your parents are right. Do not
think of accepting the attention Of
young men until about five years from
now. Girls of fourteen have no time to
waste in what they consider love af-
fairs. There is too much for them to
learn. Be sure to do always as your
mother tells you, and you will avoid a
great many mistakes.

STYLES IN VISITING
CARDS ARE CHANGING.

Three inches and a half IS supposed to
be the proper size for a lady's visiting
card. and three inches by one inch n
a half for a gentleman's, says Etiquette
Up-to-Date.
There have been some slight varia-
tlons in size, however, in ladies' cards
of late. and their tendency is to be-
come smaller and smaller. Small cards
are more convenient to carry. but the
old fa shioned size looks the best style.
Some people assert that the first Wis
ting cards originated from playing
cards when ladies used to stake enor-
MONS sums on faro and Pope Joan."

goes without saying, is a matter of time,
and most women will agree that the
game is not worth the candle. If for
the novelty, however, a dish of these
sweets be in order for the afternoon tea,
the method of their preparation is as
follows: Pick large, fine table raisins
over and lay in a bowl; cover with boil
ing water and let them stand until they
plump; seed-use either a raisin or a
silver fruit knife-and fill with a paste
made of chopped almonds, walnuts and
candied cherries.
Tomatoes Stuffed with Chestnuts-Cut
a slice from the stem end of six toma-
toes; scoop out the inside with a tea
spoon and add three tablespoonfuls Of
olive oil, three tablespoonfuls of
lemon juice, one teaspoonful of sugar.
n white onion grated, salt and pepper
to taste, and one-half pound of chest
nuts grated; put back in the tomato
hulls; place ~mayonnaise on top and
serve on a lettuce leaf.
Bath Buns-Beat up the yolks of four
and the whites of three eggs. and add
thereto a quarter of a pound of flour
and two dessertspoonfuls of solid fresh
yeast. Place it in front of the fire, and
as soon as it has we'll risen add ten
ounces of butter rubbed into one pound
of flour, half q pound of sugar and a
few caraway comfits. Cover it with a
cloth, and again set it before the fire to
rise. Then form the buns, brush the
tops over with egg and milk, cover them
with caraway comfts and bake in a
quick oven.

A POPULAR YOUNG LADY.

Dear Miss Doom:
1 am a young girl of 16 years old and
am very popular. Some of my friends
are giving a play in which l am the
heroine. During the play the hero
kisses me. Do you think this is a
wrong thing to do? The boy is II.
Anxiously awaiting your advice 1 re-
main, DOUBTFUL.
I see no reason why he should not
kiss you if the scene demands it. No
significance is attached to a stage kiss.
It is not necessary to go through the
process at each rehearsal.

Triple rose water, IS parts.
l am very anxious to know about this
lotion. Thanking you very much.
Nj. S.
This is not one of my formulas. You
must have read it in some other paper.
The ingredients, 1 would judge, are for
a bleach or a lotion to keep the skin
soft and in good condition, but I do not
understand the proportions you give
here. 1t seems to me that 2 parts of
oxide of zinc is a great deal. I never
recommend zinc for the face, except
in extreme cases. If you let me know
your needs, whether you want a face
bleach, a lotion or a skin food, I will
be glad to furnish you with 1t. This
recipe may be for some skin disease,
and might not suit you at all.
Dear Madame Alta:
My little baby boys nose is inclined
to be broad and tip-tilted. Is there any
way l can make it straight and a good
shape without an operation?
ANXIOUS MOTHER.
1t would almost be sinful to operate
on the poor little baby's nose, even if
1t could not be remedied. But it can
be remedied and made shapely If only
you exercise a little care. Press the
little nose gently with you forefinger
and thumb every time o think of it,
taking care not to bruise or crush it.
The baby's nose is much like a bit of
putty and will respond to pressure
which will result in a nice straight nose
instead of an ugly pugnose. You W it
to your baby to have him as cookbook
ing as possible. and if nature has not
been kind to him 10 all o a to
remedy the defects.

some of the players would clamor for
another meeting, at which they could
have their revenge, and one of The la
dies would scrawl her name and adj
dress on one of the cards they had been
playing with, adding the day and hour
for the renewal of hostilities.
Cards would seem to be returning to
their original use, for after years of
gentle s~eclusion they find themselves
written over in all kinds of ways and
unceremoniously sent by post.

For inexpensive draperies in bed
rooms and country houses the plain
denims and h sateens, with a border
of chint2 or cretonne, and the cotton
jutes maze excellent draperies, and are
extremely effective. A pink denim with
a border CT chintzes in a design OF
roses and g%arlands in a bedroom where
the wallpaper is of some dainty figured
design makes a most attractive COM
bination, ami in the soft shades of
green which are so much used charming
effects can be secured with compare
lively little outlay. Denims and art
tickings, as they are called, have the
advantage over chintzes in that they
do not require a lining, as the material
is thick ~nough in itself, while most
of the cheaper chintzes, especially the
figured ones with a white ground, show
the light through rather too much.
Very light and attractive draperies for
windows, though not for doors or por-
there's, are obtained with the colored
nets which come now in every shade,
and are particularly good in green
where the inner draperies of sash cur
tains are of ecru and white.
Dainty madras curtains in soft
shades of rose, yellow, green and pure
white are very much used for window
draperies and are always in good taste
for this purpose. Madras is not, how
ever, a very cheap material, except in
it's limitations, and the real madras cur
tains-which are to be found in most
of the shops-are sometimes very ex-
pensive, though exquisite in design and
ooloring,

China and glass dishes or ornaments
should never be washed in water that
is too hot to the hand comfortably.
Warm water to which has been added
a little soap powder is much better,
and does away with the danger of
breaking fine pieces. In washing the
dishes of a china cupboard change the
water frequently, taking care not to
put too many dishes into the basin at
once. Clipped china is often the re-
suit of crowding the dishpan.
Hand-painted china and all kinds
decorated with gilt should never be al
lowed to stand in water, especially II
it is very hot, as such treatment is sure
to injure the decoration.
A soft brush is necessary for cut
glass. To dry 1t thoroughly use plenty
of sawdust, as this will absorb the
moisture where the brush cannot reach.
