OF year make about the best skating hat
procurable. Black fur is, perhaps, the
most useful, as it can be worn with any
gown, but the brown mink or fox and the

young girls. The white toques are ex-
ceedingly becoming also, and these are
undoubtedly the most effective of all.

we'll as proper feeling requires you to re-
spOnd in the same tone.
In correspondence two of the rules
which girls should have by heart are
promptness and brevity The girl who
answers her invitations at once endears
herself for that if for no other reason.
Reply the same day you receive it. even
within the hour if you can. Remember
! you cannot do it too soon and that, after
| all, IT is just as easy to do it that day as
several days later. Remember, too, that
llf you are prompt in replying you put
yourself on record as an extremely we'll
bred young person, whereas if you are
dilatOry you are thought just the con-
trary and besides giving persons reason
to have poor opinion of you you cause
them annoyance by leaving them in doubt
as to whether or not they are to have
lyou as one of their guests.
If the note you receive covers only ore
or two pages confine yourself to as few in
replying 1t is an art. of course. to he
concise, but why should not you acquire
the art? Are you not as clever as the
person writing to yOu2 If you feel
that you are not. then make up your
mind at once to become so, and go about
it by initiating the style of the note to
which you are about to reply. This. if
your model is a good one, will teach you
how to turn phrases and give you facility
and felicity of expression.
OF course, invitations are not the only
form of formal correspondence Girls
are required to write notes about all sorts
of things to acknowledge presents, to
felicitate their friends on any new happi-
ness. like an engagement. q marriage or
the birth of a baby, and there are also
the occasional notes Of coincidence. All
of these. unless one is writing to an init
mate, should be brief and to the point.
In writing congratulatory notes do not
use the words congratulation or congratu-
late. They are obsolete, and good usage
now requires that one shall say ''felcj-
tate" Always put considerable warmth
into note Of felicitation. You are writ
| ing of happy things and you should make
your words convey a spirit Of Joy in the
others ioyousness. But try not to gush,
for that is OVERRIDING it, and sometimes
has false ring
Scented note paper has gone out of
fashion. and so have vivid colors huge
monograms or anything that borders on
the extreme. For formal writing the
large correspondence cards Of white linen
are popular this season. They may he
written on Cd both sides. but for the
brevity of very formal note one side
sufices. A margin should be left on each
edge just as one does with note paper.

GIRLS who are creeping out from

and are beginning to act for them
selves in regard to things social often
feel that one of the most trying of theil
new responsibilities is the writing of for
NAL notes. Yet these should not be a bug.
bear, for there is a certain knack about
really simple matter.
If they have not vet made their debut
girls rarely receive engraved invitations
as they belong distinctly to formal life
but they receive many formal written in
vitations, to which they must respond
These are usually written in the first per
son. but sometimes the third is employed
when the writer wishes to be particularly
formal and initiate the style of an en-.
graved card.
When you sit down to respond to an in
vitation carefully study its form and imi-
tate it as nearly as possible in your re-
ply. If the first person is used reply in
the first. but if the invitation reads 'AIiss
Blank requests the pleasure Of" &c.
be as formal in your response and say
cit will give Miss Smith much pleasure
to be present" &c, which is a newer
smarter form than the stereotyped ''Miss
Smith accepts with pleasure" &C., so long
used.
Be very careful about all the little de
tails. If a note or an invitation begins
'My Dear Miss Smith do not make the
mistake of replying Dear Miss Brown
when you should say exactly what she
does, my Dear" But when she writes
Dear Miss Smith," why, then, you dc
the same. This is so simple a rule that
there is positively no excuse for not fol
lowing it. In regard to the ending of d
note, too, the same rule applies. If the
note to you ends Sincerely or "Most
sincerely" it is very bad manners for you
to end your reply Cordially" or ''Most
cordially" There is a shade of meaning
between the two which the words them
selves convey, and when person uses to
you the warmer of the two etiquette as
