CORRECT HOURS IN WHICH
TO MAKE SOCIAL CALLS

Season by season the wall of host
esses at the decline of evening calls
grows so much louder that it is safe
prediction the old fashion will soon be
renewed. In following the example of
ultra fashionables, the custom of an
informal social evening of this kind
went out of vogue even among those
who had time for it, and the conse-
quence is that many men make no
calls, except on Sunday afternoons.
They are too busy downtown, through
the week to have time for social duties.
In my opinion, if a man wishes to
pay call in the evening, there is nc
reason why he should not, and many
why he may. If the girl he is going tC
see is not at home, the same ill-fortune
might befall on a Sunday afternoon
and if she is, they both pass a plea
santer two hours than if he had moi
gone.
And at this point I want to put in a
word about the length of time man
may stay when paying visit. True, it
depends largely upon the individuals
If a man knows a girl intimately, and
she is congenial, there is no reason Why
he should not spend the evening. If he
is on the list of her formal visitors, half
an hour is long enough, unless he is
being well entertained and is made to
feel that he need not hasten. To pay
two calls in an evening is quite possi-
BILE in New York, where hours are late,
and a quarter after nine is a permissi-
BILE hour to arrive. But rarely is a man
so expeditions in his social duties as to
accomplish this, unless he is bored at
the first place, when he makes his stay
brief
Under no circumstances should he
call before o'clock, and in a city that
so that in many places is the correct
hour. Half-past eight in town is a good
time, and if the visit is to be really a
formal one half an hour is sufficient to
allow for it. That makes it possible to
arrive at the next house at a quarter
past nine if it it is the vicinity.
If a man is able to pay afternoon
calls during the week, he should not
reach the house before half-past four
O'Clock, and he may go there as late
as half-past five, On Sundays the
hours differ, because hostesses are eX-
pected to be ready to receive at any
time. A visitor may go as early as a
quarter past three, If he chooses and
has many places to visit during the
one afternoon. Four o'clock is the COR
rect time, from four until five is also a
desirable period, although many
hostesses receive as late as half-past
six on Sundays, realizing that men
have many places to go in the few
hours. If the visitor is a friend of
the hostess-that is, knows the house
informally-he may stay there the
whole afternoon.

ETIQUETTE OBSERVED BY
WELL BRED PERSONS

Little things so often indicate good
breeding and the manners of those
with whom one associates, that per
son can not be too careful in obserV-
ing the rules of etiquette. For instance
to say "What?" as an Interrogation,
when not understanding remark or
question, is considered rude and bad
form. 1t Is too brusque, according to
the theories of Dame Grundy. Either
Il beg your pardon or well" as an
interrogation, is correct, and children,
particularly, should be trained on these
points.
To go in front of a person without
saying Excuse me-" denotes careless
ness in minor points of breeding; also
leaving the room without going through
the form of asking permission is
solecism. Excuse me a moment" if
the person is soon returning, is cor
rect, or should the absence be for an
indefinite time, Excuse me" is enough
to say.
To seal an envelope the whole length
of the gum on the flap is another
trhing matter for which person is
judged unfavorably. Unless the en-
vclope contains an enclosure that might
slip through an opening, only the very
tip of the flap should be fastened. And,
while on the subject of stationery no
two things are more indicative of iii

left side of an envelope or, indeed, any
place but squarely in the upper right
hand corner; and for a woman to sign
her name with prefix of Mrs. or Miss
| to note or letter. If she wishes to
indicate her formal name she should
put the prefix in parenthesis beside her
name in full or, in the case of a mar
ried woman, she signs her own name
with her formal name in brackets be-
meath. as MARY Jane Smith" and be
low, c"Mrs. John James Smith'D. This
is a form that should never be forgot
ten.
Leaving a spoon in a tea or coffee cup
is not uncommon but it is i'll bred, and
to butter a whole slice of bread at once
and eat from it is another social mis-
take. The slice must be broken into
small pieces and each buttered as it is
eaten.
Loud talking in public places is vul-
gar, as it is to push and shoulder in
crowd. If every person would remem-
Der his or her manners at such times
crowds would cease to be objects for
dread.

SWEET-SCENTED
SOFA CUSHIONS

Each year sees sofa cushions growing
more luxurious and artistic. The latest
fad of society is the adopting of large
scented cushions, made upon the same
principle as the familiar sachet bags
which are delicately perfumed by the
especial fragrance used by their owners
who often have special scents manu-
factured exclusively for their own
use.
The American woman has, however,
improved upon the artificially manufac-
tured perfumes, and fills the cushions
that adorn her boudoir with sweet
smelling flowers and fragrant leaves,
which have been purposely dried and
prepared after the manner of a pot
pourri.
The effect is delicious, for as one
sinks back amongst a nest of cushions
one becomes aware of the sweet odor
of some delicate scent.
Rose leaves, violets, sweet jasmine,
lavender, clover, carnations, lemon YER
bena, sweet thyme and even hops are
used for these flower cushit.ns-but at
present violets are certainly first in
favor.
The filling of these is made by
gathering quantities of the sweetest
smelling blossoms that are to be OBJ
and covered with a layer of salt, which
is carefully sprinkled over them They
are then left a day and a fresh layer
is added every other day until sufficient
of the pot-pourri is made. The leaves
are then scattered with a little triple
extract of violet. and the pot-pourri
is encased in a strip of glazed cambria,
over which is put another ornamental
silk covering.
rose petals on a warm, sunny day. Af-
ter drying them thoroughly they are
sprin6led with a tablespoonful of pow
dered orris root and a dozen or more
drops of altar of roses shaken amongst
them; care being taken to use only the
best altar of roses for the purpose, as
inferior brands will not hold the fra
GRANGE of dried petals, which all too
soon become not only stale but sour as
WELL
The covers in which these cushions
are put call for great variety and
taste. Beautiful specimens are to be
obtained embroidered in lovely color
ing, representing the various flowers
that are used in the filing; these are in
muslin or satin, the flowers being
worked in colored silks or ribbon.
A beautiful rose cushion has a
cream background worked with a
close wreathe of tiny red ribbon roses
and green leaves. A violet cushion has
muslin cover beautifully embroidered
with little punches of violets or single
blossoms scattered over it.
Glover, too, makes an exceptionally
beautiful design; whilst hop pillows are
cased in dull green and autumn brown
covers, embroidered in hops. Other
cushions are hand-painted, with masses
of roses, ornamented with an applique
design made by cutting the floral pat
tern from piece of well-designed flow
cred silk cretonne and stitching it on to
the cushion cover, whilst beautiful
effect is obtained by hand-painted flow
ers outlined in silk embroidery. Stem
ciled designs are also useful for those
whose knowledge of drawing is limited,
and the materials for these can be
eaSilY nrOCnred.

A FEW MORE PICNIC HINTS

Now that the camping and picnic
season is in full swing, any hint is
welcome which adds to the facilities OF
''roughing it," One method of manag-
ing a picnic is to carry bag of char
coal, quart bottle of kerosene oil and
a heavy wire grating, such as is used
for basement windows. Spread the
charcoal on the ground in such a man.
ner that it will be level and occupy no
more space than the grating will cover.
Lay the grating over it, supporting the
corners by rocks or bricks or heaps of
earth. Pour the oil over all and touch
a match to it. AS soon as the oil burns
out you will have a fine bed of Goals.
excellent for any sort of cooking, and
it will last a long time. 1t is possible
to broil steak or fish on the grating,
fry potatoes or eggs in frying pan,
boil coffee and make pancakes and the
best of toast, simply by placing the
slices of bread on the grating and turn
ing q-ickly. Butter the toast imme-
diately.
The dessert and "quick lunch" which
found most favor at one camp was a
form of fruit dumplings, so easy to
make that some one was ready to at
tempt them whenever the appetites of
camp members clamored for attention.
A prepared flour was used with enough
milk or water to form thick batter.
This was dropped by spoonfuls into a
kettle containing blueberries, with
sugar to taste and enough water to
cover. The berries must be boiling
rapidly when the dumplings are added
and a tight cover or heavy plate must
be set on the kettle, that they may not
fall" Twenty minutes is sufficient for
cooking. A variety of fruits will make
the result so varied that monotony
need not be feared.
Nothing is so nice when picnicking

SHORT CHANGE; SHORT WEIGHT

When you go to housekeeping have
a pair of trustworthy scales and put
them to use. You are often cheated out
of the proper amount of sugar, lard,
meat, etc, especially meat. This may
be the result of carelessness on the
part of clerks, for no reliable dealer
would intentionally lose trade by short
weighing goods. If you see you are
getting short weight, weigh your ar
ticles then attend to it at once.
Then look for short change Often
when clerks are hurried they make
short change. Sometimes, though not
often, they give too much in return.
Yet many women take the change from
bill and carelessly slip it into the
purse without counting it. 1t seems a
little item to watch weights and
change, but both count up in the year
and prove a leakage in the household
savings that can only be stopped with
a certain amount of care and watchful-
ness

in the woods or the park as some hot
coffee with the sandwiches, and it is
not always easy to make a fire on
picnic, especially if the picnic is hap
pening in a park. One woman whose
family loves to go on outings solved
the problem by using the fireless cook
er principle. She makes the coffee ut
home, sugars and creams it, and when
it is as boiling hot as coffee can be
she pours it into milk bottles, stand

thicknesses of Woolen cloth, then in

the wrapplngs are thick enough and
tight enough the heat is preserved in
the coffee to a surprising extent.

Orange stick Good Ripper

When ripping a garment up for re-
modelling or any other purpose or when
pulling basting threads an orangewood
stick, such as is sold at any drug store
for manicuring the finger nails, will be
found a great convenience.
1t removes the danger of cutting the
garment, as is often done when the
scissors are used.
The thread should be cut every few
stitches before the work of pulling the
threads is begun, and the threads may
then be pulled without stretching or
pulling the garment out of shape.

is SPINACH NouRIsHINe?

There is a decided fad for spinach
eating Several beauty specialists ad-
wise it for the complexion, and it is a
blood purifier, therefore should be eat
en- freely in spring.
But, as with many other things good
in themselves, the devotees of spinach
carry their theories too far. One young
woman ate little or nothing else for six
weeks, and almost depleted her system.
Spinach has very little nutriment in
it; it contains fair proportion of iron
and other salts which are mildly lax
ative, but is not bone or muscle
maker, and should not be eaten as
though it were.
