GOOD
Form

The woman who intends to have
week end visitors or house visitors of
any sort needs to consider one thing
before inviting the outsider into her
home-is the prospective guest worthy
of the honor? Is she to be trusted
with ones life, ergo ones reputation? :?
II not madam must not issue her lnvi-
tation, and II she sees ct so to do once
the stranger is within her gates all
must be given her-full confidence In
her integrity and entire liberty in ev-
cry move that concerns her health and
happiness.
AS the hostess captiousness some
times comes from feeling that the WIS.,
itor Of week or more is outstaying
her welcome, the English custom of
arranging a visit within a prescribed
period is an excellent one If you ask
Miss Guest to come on the 10Th and
stay until the Goth you have no reason
to complain unless she prolongs her
stay. This arrangement for the COM
ing of the guest and her going puts
the whole visit on a pleasant and easy
basis, and the hostess and guest of
good sense abide by all the require
ments of politeness and kindly feeling
as long as the visit lasts.

An Enuaqement Tea,

One of the newest ways of announc-
ing an engagement is for the prospec-
tive bride to give tea and invite all
her friends and the friends of her
parents. Yov either invite them by
note telling OF the engagement, or you
may send visiting cards on which are
written a day, date and hour, and on
their arrival tell them the news
When invited by visiting cards, as sug.
gested, tea and cakes should be served
following the procedure precisely OF
any other afternoon tea. Even when
an engagement is announced in this
way it is the custom to write notes to
ones intimate friends, telling the news
before they can hear II from outsiders
Such a note may read:
My Dear Aline-I want you to be among
the first to know of my engagement to
Jackson rockingham. which we shall an
nounce at a tea on Wednesday afternoon.
hope you will como in then, for mother
and ] will be at home at o'clock.

Care of Linens.

AS linen forms large percentage OF
spring and summer dresses it is ad
visable to study method for preserv-
ing the beauty of this fabric. No linen
should lse starched True, linen has a
crisp, clean finish when starched and
ironed, but it rumples easily, and one
wearing makes a garment unfit for
second appearance. Instead dampen
the goods considerably and iron until
perfectly dry. Iron as much Of gar
ment as possible on the wrong side to
raise the thread.
In washing blue linen add vinegar to
the last rinsing water. Place tea
spoonful of soda In gallon Of water
when dipping a lavender. Use no blu
ing in tans, but supply it plentifully In
the rinsing water for white, blue and
pink. Green should not be dipped into
indigo water When the green begins
to fade dip it into a sour solution of
water and vinegar and hang it in the
shade to dry. Dress linens are not un-
like table linens as to laundry work,
as hard pressing on damp material fur
nishes a certain amount of stiffness
sufficient for such fabrics. Use very
large iron for pressing large pieces.

cataclysmlc Geology.

"Cataclysmic" geology no longer
exists. 1t was once the accepted opin.
Ion that the great changes on the
earths surface had been mainly
brought about by sudden and violent
(cataclysmic) agencies, but Sir
Charles Lyell, as far back as 1898
demolished the old theory Of cata'
clysm at once and forever. Sir Charles
proved by facts which were indisputa.
BILE that the great geological changes
have been produced slowly by gradual
processes Of subsistence and elevation
and not by earthquakes, volcanic ac
ton, etc. Lyell may be paid to be
the father of modern geology, or, tc
put 1t more correctly, of real, scienti
fic geology.

them together, implanting the pollen
of one upon the stigma Of the other.
He brings plum from China or ia

HAMILTON HIS BlPLANE.
neuver Despite their familiarity with
Hamilton's manipulation of his aero
plane and the never failing success
which has attended these dips, the me-
chanics scattered and ran for shelter
just about as quickly as do those who
never before have seen any of Hamil-
toms sudden downshoots and switch
back hoverings.
A rousing laugh came from the
crowd that was farther up the field at
the predicament Of the mechanics and
their antics as they scampered in vari-
Gus directions. But the spectators
Joy was short lived, for not thirty sec
onds later they themselves were run
ming to cover under the second of
Hamilton's hawklike descents.
Hamilton on the, next turn of the
field spied a small tug chugging its
way through Buttermilk channel, its
crew hanging over the port side the
better to view the aeronaut, and its
pilot leaning gracefully out of the
wheelhouse with his right hand resting
! lightly on the wheel. Turning sharply
! to the right at an altitude Of about
! 500 feet, Hamilton commenced his dip.
Straight as an arrow he shot toward
the tug, gaining speed every moment as
gravity lent its aid to the propelling
power of his fifty horsepower engine
running full tilt The tugs crew ran
bewildered about the deck. The en-
gineer, standing in the doorway Of the
engine room, clambered hastily inside
the compartment. AS for the pilot,
who but a moment before had been so
nonchalant and blase about 1t all-he
commenced pulling every bell whose
levers lay ready at his hand, and then
he gave his wheel a few rapid turns
that swung the nose Of the craft at al
most a right angle to the course the
tug had been pursuing.
Hamilton by this time was almost
upon the boat and not fifty feet above
II. The tug was fast approaching the
Brooklyn shore, so close to 1t that II
its speed had been kept up moment
longer 1t must have brought up sharp
ly against a big freighter lying along
side a pier AS Hamilton swoopet

pooahontas and John Smith.

The pretty story of Smiths rescue
from imminent death by Pocahontas
when he was in the clutches OF her re-
doubtable father, Powhatan, has been
rather blown upon by later historianA
II has been shown that Smith in his
earlier narrative only mentions the
princess incidentally as child, and II
was not until she came afterward to
England and Smith wrote an account
of her for the edification OF the court
that he described viHdly how she haz-
arded the beating out OF her own
brains to save his. BY that time the
romantic Pocahontas had the meta
morphosed into Mistress Rebeces
Rolfe, wife OF a Virginia settler Of
standing. and her portrait, with
plumed hat, run and fan. has beer
duly handed down in this capacity.
