There are many very pretty, inexpensive
handkerchiefs that give a wonderfully
good effect when pleated up, and then,
of course, there are exquisitely fine ones
at much higher prices. Almost any fancy
handkerchief will make a pretty bow.
There are several shapes in which
they can be made. The most generally
used way is to cut the handkerchief
straight across, with one piece little
longer than the other Then sew the two
raw edges in seam, with the right side
of one piece reversed so that the shorter
piece will fall over the longer. Make
fan pleating of each, the top of the pleat-
ing at the seam being very narrow. Tack
the shorter one over the longer, and the
bow is finished.
Another way to use a handkerchief is
to cut it across, just as for the first bow,
and make a fan pleating of one hall.
Then cut eff each of the other two cor
ners, making little triangle of each, and
gat ther the cut edges up very tight. This
will make two little butterfly ends, which
must be sewed together with ii tight lit
tie loop of linen around the centre and
the whole sewed to the top of the pleated
piece.

FURs FOR THE SCHOOL GIRL

FURS FOR THE SCHOOL GIRL.
M t is to be sincerely hoped that the
winter just commenced will be an un-
usually long and extraordinarily Sc
we're season, for never, it may safely
be said, has there been a time when
furs were more fashionable Fur
wraps, hats, stoes and muffs must be as
numerous in the winters outfit as are the
gowns themselves; nor is there any age
that can escape the craze this year, fo1
even the veriest infant in her perambu-
lator must be completely encased in soft.
.cosey squirrel or gray astrakhan bec5ro
she can be taken out for her morning con-
stitutional.
Furs this year are decidedly voluminous
in effect. all boas and wraps being un-
usually large, while the coats and wraps
are more than ordinarily long and full
AS too large a boa, however, tends to
| take away from the natural height Of the
wearer, the furs now fashionable for
young girls are somewhat smaller not
quite so all enveloping as are those de-
signed for older women. Both the long
boa and the short wide cape are worn
this year, and it is difficult to say which
is the smarter of the two styles A girl
somewhat undersized for her age will find
the long stole or boa more becoming,
while to tall, slender figure it is safe to
say that any design will be becoming.
Of the long neck pieces the most at
tractive are those made of two separate
skins, the heads Joined together in the
centre of the boa. The stoles are worn
either with the heads in the mid 1,a of
the back or over the right shoulder, with
one end thrown back to the left and the
other falling down in front. In lynx,
pointed fox and all long haired furs
these double stoles are especially pretty.
but they are also smart in such skins as
mink, sable, ermine, &c
! For school wear a stiff little fur tie of
astrakhan- or perhaps brown caracul is
excellent, and with a simple style of
dress is exceedingly pretty. This year
these tiny ties look especially well, as
! they help to carry out the long straight
| lines Of the Dnectoire models. Lined
with white fur-fox, lynx or caracul-
the black fur will not rub off and soil the
collar, and this white lining is an excel
lent thing for the girl whose shool waists
are finished with neat white collars of
Embroidered liner or batiste.
There is nothing stiff in any of the fur
boas or muffs this year, unless perhaps
| the small cravats and their muff of cara
icul or astrakhan. The majority of muffs
are composed of one or two entire skins,
with head, tail, claws and all remaining
| lined with chiffon or satin and only laid
ever an under muff covered with satin or
brocade in black or the exact shade of
the fur, if it be black or gray.

girl to wear with her afternoon street

institution. 1t was a man instructor whd
brought a small class of girls from a
nearby fashionable school to visit the
HERALD Building and to study at close
range the intricacies of editing, publish
ing and distributing a metropolitan news
paper The teacher guide himself had
had several years experience as prac-
teal printer and editor and was therefore
able to explain in his own way the details
of machinery and copy. The class ar
rived early. School girls are used to ris-
ing before the wheels of a great city are
set fairly in motion for the day, and
when there is an hours ride by train pre-
liminary to the observation lesson an
extra early start is necessary. Besides
the day set aside for observation classes
is not given up wholly to study; little
play is permitted, but that comes later.
EIRST the class visited the composing
room, where different types were
handled and studied; then the working
of the linotype machine was carefully

lated by skilled operators; next the girls
were introduced to the mysteries Of

p SOCIAL AMENITIES FOR
Z THE SCHOOL GIRL

r TELEPHONES have so important
place in the social life of to-day that
here is quite as much etiquette in re-
gard to them as there is to ~'',-~ matters.
Take the word itself, for instance. We

using it referred to it as ''telephoning." ;"
lazy and slipshod into "'phone" and
"'phoning," which pleased the ears of
many and were widely adopted until
among certain classes they are firmly es-
tablished as the accepted parlance when
referring to, or to the use of, the most
indispensable invention of the age.
But the language Of the polite world
does not admit of abbreviations of any
sort. In good society any form of sloven-
illness is abhorrent, and to speak in a
slipshod way indicates an untidyi OF
speech as distasteful and as little to be
tolerated as untidyness of person or of
dress. And, consequently, well bred peo-
pie from one end of the country to the
other say telephone" and look askance
It the person who shorten it.
When you are calling up your friends,
to greet them with "Hellop' is as bad
form as it is to say "'phone" or "'phon-
ing.'' "Hello' belongs strictly to the
business world and has no place in the
social, either at the telephone or at any
other place. You should say Good morn
ing" by way of greeting at the telephone,
just as you would at home or in your
friends home, or the street, or wherever
you encounter one another. If another
member of the family than the one to
whom you especially wish to talk an

time and place have occurred through the
giving and taking of telephone invitations,
to the utter confusion of hostess and
guest, that fertile Madame Grundy, ever
alert to keep we'll oiled the wheels of
social life, has invented this manner OF
meeting the situation, so now it is OBJ
ligatory that you follow your telephone
invitation by a note.
Many women have stated hours for be-
ing. ''get-at-able' at the telephone and give
the time out to all their friends, the pop
ular hours being between nine and ten or
ten and eleven in the morning. If you
know that such a person has such an
hour you must never, except in dire ne
cesSity, call her at any other time.
Women usually have their maids answer
their telephones and bring them the name
of the person calling before they person
ally respond Girls who have their own
maids do this also and, indeed. in the
homes of all fashionable persons SER
want is delegated for the purpose of TAX
ing the responsibility of the telephone
quite as much as another has the care
of the front door.
1t is not etiquette for the person called
to the telephone to end the converSa ton.
If friend calls you you must remain
until she says goodby. 1t is not proper
for you to say it any more than you would
if she were making call in your house.
Some people never seem to know how to
break off a telephone conversation, and
they are just the same people who never
seem to know how to go, even after they
get started from a room But, being
we'll hammered, you would never think of
pushing them out, and neither can you
push them off the telephone, which is pre-
cisely what you would do if you said
goodby first. When you call them up
turned the initiative lies with you, and
you end the conversation as it pleases
you.

swers the telephone do not be so dis
courteous as to ignore her by asking at
once for the other, but exchange a few
remarks with her first and then let her
know that you wish to talk with another.
1t is not etiquette for girls to telephone
to men at their places of business or at
their clubs, nor should they call them up
at their homes unless for a particular rea-
son, as giving them an informal invita-
ton. So much inviting of an uncere-
monious character is done by means of
the telephone nowadays that it is quite
proper for girls to take this method of
reaching young men, always provided
they do not try to get them at their places
of business.
There is a great convenience in giving
invitations over the telephone, for it
means that they are accepted or declined
at the moment and one can plan accord
ingly. But the verbal invitations ex-
tended must be followed by a note-that
is, when the invitation is accepted. OF
course, if it is declined the matter is
ended. But when you ask your friend
to anything over the telephone and he or
she accepts, the correct thing is to write
a note at once corroborating thesratter.
If your mother has allowed you to ask a
young man to dinner, for instance, you
write that your mother and you are so
glad to know that he can dine with you
on such a night and at such time, men,
tioning the date and hour. The note
should be brief to the point of one SEN
tence covering the matter, and IFS object
is, as no doubt you see, to fix beyond any
possibility of mistake the day and time
in the others mind. So many errors of
Los Angeles herald., 1909-01-24

deal from a practical demonstration of
exhibitions and ways of exhibiting his
toric and modern works of art.
One great advantage Of going to a
school in or near New York city is the
tremendous opportunities it offers for rare
and valuable study. Nowhere, in this
country at least, can a girl get more
than she can in New York if properly and
intelligently shown how to study the ma
terial at hand. 1t has always been said
that the girl who lives in New York
knows less about her own surroundings
than the stranger does who makes occa-
sional visits to the metropolis, but under
the new order of things the school girl, at
least, is no longer as ignorant in this as
she used to be.
