To Sadness: I an not printing your
letter, as you see
I think that in a crowd such as you
describe it might have been merely IN
accident that the man helped the other
woman and not his wife. That he did
not forget his wife was evident when he
inquired for her when the party had set
tied IN the train. Men do many strange
things in the moment Of excitement. and
It is not wen to cali them TO account

TO ne that have never told you much
about the formal call. and this is what
I propose 70 do today
One OF the most important points n
calling is TO choose a time Of day when
one. for instance would make a call be-
fore breakfast. In the cities OF the East
calls are usually paid between 4 and
in the afternoon In warmer climates
they are made later IN the day. Really
formal calls are nowhere paid on Sun
day nor In the evening. At these times
intimate friends only are expected. al
though neighborhood calls are some
times paid n the evening. because that
is the only time when both husband and
wife may call together. Afternoon calls
are usually paid by women only

MILL HOLDINGS CHANGE HANDS.
Transfer OF Stock in Orange Cotton
Mills is Effected.

Capt. w. w. Wannamaker has ac-
quired the holdings Of his brother,
Mr.. T. H. Wannameker, of stock in
the Orange Cotton Mills. The trans
fer was effected few days ago. Mr..
George H. Cornelson, the founder Of
the enterprise, will be still associat-
ed with Mr.. w. w. Wannamaker
as stockholder. and will continue as
president of the concern.
Messrs T. H. and w. w. Wanna
maker acquired interests in the mills
through purchase from Mr.. Cornelson
OF large portion of the investment
some years ago, and have met with
decided success in its operation ever
since.
There will be little, If any, change
in the management OF the mills, Mr..
Cornelson continuing as president,
and Mr. Wannamaker will assume
the duties of vice president, the po-
sition formerly held by MIR. 7. H.
Wannamaker, in connection with
those Of secretary-treaSurer.
1t is sincerely hoped by his many
friends that Mr.. T. II. Wannamake
will soon again enter into active bus
mess here in connection with his
large farming interests.
