an does not assume her husbands
honorary title. In writing to a prac.
ticing woman physician, the address
when the communication is profes.
sional, should be in this form: DR..
Mary T. Blank. For a social com.
munication 1t should be in this form,
Miss Mary T. Blank or Mrs. James L.
Blank.
When introducing a friend to a
friend through the agency of a letter
II is always safest and best to write
privately. in advance of the presenta-
ton of the letter, giving the person
to whom it is addressed some notice
Of its coming, and also more init.
mately outlining the character, tastes
and social position of its bearer than
could possibly be done in the letter
itself.
Letters of introduction usually are
in the form of brief notes. They may
begin thus: MY dear Mrs. Wilson.
1t gives me the greatest pleasure to
introduce to you my friend, Miss B.
and then follow a few personal re-
marks about some common interest.
It is rather difficult to present in
person a note, though men occasion
ally prefer to do so. The usual GUS
tot is to mail the envelope containing
the Introductory note or card, togeth-
er with a card giving ones name and
address.
When the bearer of a note or card
of introduction is a woman a call
must be paid promptly-that is, with.
in forty-eight hours of the reception
Of her note or card. The call should
then be followed by the offer of some
hospitality, If it is impossible to call
a note should be written acknowledge
! ing the receipt of the introduction
and unless mourning, Illness or a
speedy departure from home pre-
vents, a very earnest effort to enter
tain the bearer Of the Introductory
missive is requisite, A woman
should follow this latter course in
dealing with a note Of introduction
presented by a man.
A man must first call upon and
then entertain to the best of his abil
ity a man introduced to him by let
ter. When a lady bears a note Of in
PRODUCTION to a gentleman she posts
it to him with her card, and he re-
spends by a call at the very earlies
opportunity.

We Editors Needs.

1t is reported, says an exchange,
that one of our newly married women
kneads bread with her gloves on, The
incident may be peculiar, but there
are others. The editor of this paper
needs bread with his shoes on; he
needs bread with his shirt on; he
needs bread with his trousers on; and
unless some of the delinquent SUBJ
scribers of this paper pay up before
long he will need bread without 50
much as anything on-and this is no
Garden of Eden, either, in the winter
time.-Enid (Okla.) News Wave. -

A Popular Floor.

Whenever the man who runs the
elevator in a Sixth avenue store feels
particularly frisky he announces the
third floor in this fashion:
Third floor-waists, dresses, al
terations, and complaints, particu-
larly complaints
Since a fair proportion Of the pas
sengers who get off at that floor are
there for the purpose of registering
complaints, they smile upon him be-
nignantly for anticipating their
needs.-New York Times.

IN THE BABY's EYES.

What is the dream in the baby's eyes,
As he lies and blinks in mute surprise?
With little, wee hands that aimlessly 60
Hitler and thither and to and fro
With little wee feet that shall lead him
God knows
But prayer from my heart like benson
goes
Bundle of helplessness, wonder he lies
What is the dream in my baby's eyesg
What does he wonder and what does he
know
That we have forgotten so long, long ago:
Bathed in the dawnlight what does he see
That slow years have hidden from you and
me-
Out of the yesterday seeth he vet
The things that IN living he soon shall
forget,
An that is hidden beyond the blue skies?
What is the dream in my baby's eyes!
Speak TO me, little one. ere You forget,
What is the thought that is lingering there
yety
Where is the land which the yesterdays
meet,
Waiting and waiting the morrows to greet ?
You wee funny bundle, VINO only will
blink,
What do YOU wonder and what do you
think?
Bright as the moonlight asleep in the skies
What is the dream in my haby's eyes:

Ahnnt Advertising.

In these days of progress the man
who would succeed must advertise,
This is an established fact, and It is
also a well-known fact that the most
successful business men not only in
this town but throughout the country
are large advertisers. Now OCCASION
ally we find a merchant who does not
believe in advertising at all, He tried
a small ad for a month perhaps and
then stopped it. Thought it did not
pay. Did he take down that big sign
over his store front at the same time?
On, no. Now, then, what is the diff
ference? Both your sign and your
advertisement are used to draw trade.
| Both are necessary to your success.
OF the two your advertisement is the
most important because its influence
| is greater. 1t reaches the people
not when they are hurrying past your
store on the opposite side of the
street, but in their leisure moments,
when they are given to good sober
thought, and it is your own fault If
you cannot at such a time present
your business in sucn a manner as to
make a lasting impression on them.
Yet, very few men are convinced by
the first appeal. It is like the gospel
Of grace. 1t must be "precept upon
precept, line upon line, here a little
and there a little" It is in this way
buyers are won.

cons are of course not sent to per-
sons who are in mourning, as that
would be an empty form, but invita-
lions to weddings, receptions, ETC.,
must be sent as a mark of remem-
hrance, even when it is known that
these friends will not accept.
In general, the correct style for an
acceptance may be derived from the
invitation itself, as the answer is al
ways written in the same degree of
formality. The best course always
is to observe very carefully the form
ula of an invitation and follow it pre-
cisely in your reply.
If it is in the third person the re-
ply must be in the third person. If
it is in the first person it must be an
swered by an informal note in the
first person. A first invitation should
be accepted If possible An invita-
ton to a church wedding does not
need written reply,
There must be no delay in answer
ing an invitation to a dinner, lunch
con, home wedding, wedding break
fast, card party, or theatre party. A
note of invitation to a dinner, lunch
con or theatre party should have a
written note of reply within twenty
four hours, so that the hostess may
have time to I'll the place should a
guest be unable to accept.

he gave him dominion over every
thing he made, the fowls of the
air, the fish of the sea and the
beasts of the field, ard he even
gave Adam the privilege Of NAM
ing all these creatures; see verse
10, same chapter.
But Snodgrass says he has read
the Jews bible, the Medoperslan
bible and parts of other bibles,
but methinks from this assertion
that he read very little of the
Christians bible, because he
made melton of several different
kinds of bibles, but never once
hints that our bible ever troubled
his weary brains, provided he
has any.
He goes on to say that of
all the creations God ever
made when he created man he
made one of the biggest messes
of all his creation. Now, dear
readers, what do you think of a
man who could cast such a slur
upon God almighty? But that is
in pursuance of all the rest of his
writing.
But he struck at least one true
sentence from our bible when he
quoted the plan of salvation for
fallen man.
1t is great pity that Jim did
not write more fully about not
only that plan, but a great many
more contained in our bible so
when he got hold of that fellow
Zoroastor's bible and found where
it was leading him he could have
thrown it in the fire Immediately.
Now here is some more of To-
roastor's teachings in regard to
comets. Before the great de-
struction of the earth that God

REPLY TO JAMES SNODCRASS
By Thomas Mullen
CONTINUED from Tuesday.

Now for the benefit of the la
dies | want to say that it would
be utterly impossible for me to
try to humiliate you as Snodgrass
tried 20 make you believe, simply
because know you are endowed
with as good reasonable common
sense as | am, and maybe more
so, bat all the same | don't be-
lieve hat there is Christian lady
in lis whole country of these
United States yes, will go far
the than that, and say in the
whole Christian World-that truly
believes that the bible is the true
word of God. but what believes
what the bible says in regard to
God putting Adam to sleep and
taking a rib from his side and
making woman. Read Genesis
End chapter and 21st, 22nd 23rd
verses conclusively. Now listen
to the ridiculous nonsense of
Snodgrass, which farther goes to
prove that his authority sprang
from some infdel or atheist wri-
ter; he says I'VE are informed
(he should have said | am in
formed) that the first man was
Kaiomarts, and after his death
a tree grew out of his body bear
ing ten pair of men and women.
This, he claims, is the tree we
now call our Christmas tree.
Now our bible says that after
God had made everything that
was made, he then made man
out of the dust of the earth: Gen.
esis End chapter and 7th verse,

will send his prophet (Sosioch)

kind, to be followed by the gen
eral resurrection. But one of
these comets will come in a blaze
of molten fire to destroy the
world, and that all beings must
pass through fiery molten streams
but that it would feel like warm
milk to the righteous, but that
the sinner would be carried along
by the stream into the abyss of
"Duzahk. " where they will burn
three days and nights. after
which they will be purified. and
will invoke God and be received
into heaven.
That sounds a good deal to me
like Catholicism, going through
going through purgatory to be
purified before they can be taken
into heaven.
Now in contradiction of all the
above stuff our bible teaches that
there will be a day of judgment
and that all the nations of the
earth of every kindred and ton
que shall stand before the great
judgment throne and there be
judged according to the deeds
done in the body; the righteous
to everlasting Joy and peace, but
the wicked shall be turned into
hell with all the nations of the
earth that forget God.
Snodgrass contends that in his
opinion Moses and Zoroastor were
the two greatest bible writer's on
earth. Jim say that Moses never
told US what the forbidden fruit
was. Well, he had no need to,
for God himself told Adam what
it was, and that was quite suffi-
cient for Moses; yes even for Jim
Snodgrass. But he say that 70
roastor does tell him. He, Zorro
aston, says that the first two pro-
duced on the tree were Meschia
and Meschiane, but Satan tempt
ed them and they drank goats
milk and injured themselves.
But in what way they were in
jured he does not state.
But what is the use of drawing
this story out any further.
Now. in conclusion, | would re-
commend Jim Snodgrass to stick
to mythical sons of rest and gin
saw filing, that he may in time
have that distinctive appellation
attached to his name of honor
able.
AS this will be the last time
that | shall take any cognizance
of Snodgrass' writing, and hop
ing | have given this subject a
true and faithful definition of the
true word of God in answer to
the scurrilous attack made upon
holy writ, | subscribe myself for
the right and truth,
