account, moved to Warrington, Ma

| If formal notes are difficult for girls to

| sible for men, for few of the latter are
| accustomed to social formalities, and I'M

| one bv a helpful sister Or mother he is

| 1t should be an aid to the perplexed to
remember that length Of epistle Is not
necessary; that brevity means success.
According to the purpose of the note the
wording varies. naturally, but the general
rules hold, and these are to express with
| dignity and courtesy the thought that is
| in ones mind and then finish the COM
munication
For instance, if man wishes to send a
book to a girl he might write in this way;
NV Dear Miss Smith: l am giving my
self the pleasure of sending to you the
book we were talking of the other day,
and I hope you may find it as interesting
reading as l did l shall certainly hope
to hear your opinion of it before long.
Cordially JOHN JAMES.
A book is one of the few articles which
| it Is always good form for a man to send
girl, though he may know her only
| slightly. 1t comes in the same category
| as candy and flowers. and by this act he
| is not making himself conspicuous.
When sending flowers a note is rarely
| written by a man. Usually merely his
visiting card accompanies them. The
same Is true of candy
| Acknowledging a book. or other trife,
from a girl is frequently difficult for a
| man Yet he may write very simply in
| this form:
! My Dear Miss Jones: How very
| thoughtful of you to remember that had
| not seen the book we talked of the other
evening. 1 shall particularly enjoy read
| ing it now, and feel most grateful to you.

Fads and Fancies.

The lace fans are exceedingly pretty
this year and are such a fascinating fin
ish to dainty toilet.
The thin silk and lace combined are
equally attractive and, perhaps, more
practical than all lace.
A very nice fan of marcelline silk hand
painted and lace trimmed Is only $50
for nine-inch sticks. and another eight
inches i'm length, of silk with hand paint
ed and spangled lace top is only aS cents
Even cheaper prices prevail pretty
lace fan mounted on fancy sticks Is only
% cents. and a. really dainty affair with
carved bone sticks is marked as low. as
40 cents.
A favor for a chatting dish supper Is a
tiny metal chatting dish. quite perfect in
detail. but so small that it will contain
only half an ounce of candy. The price
is 10 cents. and another unique favor is
miniature lantern pasted to ribbon
labeled I'm Afraid to Go Home in the
Dark This costs but 5 cents

ing of making holiday gifts Of these dam
ty necessities. Real ivory is. of course,
quite beyond the pocketbook of the aver
age person, but exceedingly true imita-
tons can be bought for very little money,
considering the quality.
The ivory is, of course, much easier to
keep in good condition than the silver
which requires constant polishing, and is
really much prettier as we'll.
The granny bonnets for small girls are
most fetching this season. and one of the
very prettiest recently seen was an ex-

scold and be fussy.' as one husband
expressed it, but what is the use? 1t

stance for man does feel awkward
if he has been late through careless
ness.
If it is business that has kept him,
the chances are he is quite as much
annoyed as his wife He has not cared
about working any later than usual,
and when he knows that the extra Ia
bor which he could not avoid, Is the
cause of a spoiled dinner, he is more
than apt to feel himself a victim of
fate who should be cOndOled with, not
scolded. IT, on the other hand, he de-
layed in coming home because he was
having a jolly time, upbraiding is more
than likely to make him cross. He will
consider himself privileged to be late
if he wishes. and that those who find
fault with him are unreasonable.
This is not to say that men are the
brutes which such utter selfshness
would seem to brand them. But il is
an unwise wife who frowns upon her
husband the instant he gets home. no
