Few things seem more difficult. to un-

reason why married woman leaves her
husbands cards with her own, and how
many she leaves and for whom they are
left People in small towns think that it
is almost against the conscience to leave
the cards of anyone who is not per
sonal visitor. or they fear that they ap-
pear affected. To begin with. the idea
is that formal visiting and the privileges

Language
The language lessons for the first
year should be entirely oral, and the fol-
lowing year mostly copying.
Spelling
Spelling should be written and should
not be commenced until the fifth month.
Writing
Give the child one word at a time
to copy at the end of the first month,
and keep adding new. but not un-
known. word now and then, until the
latter forms have been mastered.
Above ALL be very patient with your
pupils. Pear IN mind, the result should
be ability to learn more and not merely

AS general rule. therefore, a woman
leaves two OF her husbands cards with
ono of her own. Her card is intended
for the lady on whom she is calling. her
husbands cards arc for the hostess and
her husband. If there are grown-up
daughters in family a woman leaves
one of her cards for them and one Of
her husbands cards The rule OF good
taste is that one would not leave moro
than three of ones cards and three Of
