For days at home and informal after
noon teas, invitations are sent out on
visiting-cards. Invitations for airy
functions of a more formal nature re-
quire a more formal card.
Cards for the debutante reception are
sent out from two weeks to a month
before the date set. They are usually
engraved on fairly large cards, ard
bear the mothers. name. with the
daughters name below, to show that
she is being presented to society. the
date and hours of the reception-usually
from 4 until Z o'clock-and the address.
Young friends of the debutante assist
ing at the reception are usually given
cards to e to friends unknown to
the hostess, their own card being in
closed.
Invitations for evening receptions bear
the name of the host and hostess and
follow the same general form, with
Music" or whatever entertainment
may be provided for the guests signi-
fed in the left-hand lower corner. If
the reception is given In honor Of some
special guest, T meet - is put
at the top of the card. Invitations for
an evening reception require an an
swer. according to present usage; those
for an afternoon reception do not,
cards being sent If you are unable to
be present. Invitations for formal aft
ernoon or evening card parties are
sent out in The name of the hostess,
and usually take the form of Mrs.
Blank requests the pleasure Of" with
the recipients name and the name of
the game to be p~layed-bridge, five
hundred or hearts-and the date and
hour of the card party added. The
address is given below.
The most formal invitations sent by
card are those for large inner and
dances. They are usually sent out on
crested or monograinmed cards, the
dinner in the name of host and hostess,
but for some unexplained reason-a
vagary of etiquette-cards for dances
bear only the name of the hostess.
AT present rather large oblong cards
are in vogue.

Fiye-Y Engagement.
Dear Miss Doom:

~ girl the same age. She said she would
not marry until we were twenty-five, but
that she would consider herself engaged
to me in the meantime, though we were
to keep Ii secret. Now. Miss Doom, she
is continually going ont with others and
when ! object she says / ought to be
satisfied to know that she will keep her
promise. Please tell me what to do. I
do not make enough to ask her to marry
now. UNHAPPY.
You have no right to bind her to a
flve-year engagement. If ! were you
l would follow the course pursued by
her. Go out with other girls and waste
no time In fretting. At the end of a
year you may find that you did not
love her after all. You are rather
young to take yourself so seriously.
You canno expect her to resign the
company of others, and cross her hands
to wait five long years for you to
marry her.

DAILY HEALTH HINT.

Headache, a feeling of general

expressed in the words feeling
miserable" is often caused by
the lack. of the proper amount of
sleep. There is no hard and fast
rule for the number of hours one
should sleep, but adults require
at least seven hours of rest, while
children need from eight to ten
hours. To get the full benefit
and refreshment from sleep it is
necessary that the sleeping apart.
ment be supplied with plenty of
fresh air. Open a window and
the door ,ef the room in order
that the ar may be constantly
changing, at the same time avoid
lying In the draught.
Cultivate the habit of lying on
the right side of the body. 1t is
a mistaAen notion that one may
remark up twenty or thirty hours
and/then make up for the lost
rfSst by sleeping twelve or four
teen hours. Nature demands that
a portion of every twenty-four
hours be given to sleep.

YIELD OF WHEAT is ABOVE THE
AVERAGE.
Idaho Ranks as One of the Great
Wheat Growing States of
the Union This Year.

A. F. Hit. government statistician
in the department of agriculture. is
in the city on official business, hay
ing just been investigating crop con-
ditions in Washington, Canyon and
Ada counties, and he states the gen.
eral conditions are good and the
farmers prosperous. but like other
fruit communities in the Northwest,
there will be a falling off of the crop
this fall on account of early frosts.
Mr. Hit has just received from
Washington, d. c., the full report Of
the yield per acre of winter wheat
grown in the different states. Taking
the crop in the entire state, the crop
in Idaho averaged 29 bushels to the
acre. The average last year was 80
bushels, and for consecutive years
the average has been 24.5 bushels
The State of Washington averages
this year 25.S bushels per acre; last
year 24.5 bushels, and for 10 con-
.secutive years the average has been
eos bushels per acre.
Compared with the states of the
Middle West, Idaho ranks far ahead,
beating the boosted agricultural state
of Missouri by a great margin. The
report shows that the average yield
of winter wheat per acre in Missouri
this year was 14.7 bushels; last year,
10 bushels, and for an average of 10
years the average has been 14.S bush
els
Only two states in the Union are
ahead of Idaho on the average yield,
Montana and Wyoming, both of
which have slight lead, but such
a small amount Of grain is grown in
these states. they are not classed as
grain states.
The total yield of winter wheat in
Idaho this year was 7,59s,OOO bush
els; Washington. 1851, 900; Oregon,

Apple trees start bearing at five

doubles each year up to IA years.
