ADVICE ON SOCIAL CUSTOMS

If an invitation be sent in a formal
style of the third person, the reply
must be the same:
Miss Adele Black accepts with pleas
ure the invitation Of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Gray for dinner on November
10, at o'clock
If a little personal note be sent to
you, your reply should dispense with
formality and sincere short re-
sponse expressing your thanks and
your acceptance or regrets. Whatever
you decide must be absolute. You
cannot waver between coming and
not coming; you cannot change your
mind and In consequence break up
the plans Of a hostess.
In the event of a wedding invita-
ton. the response is made to the ones
who>request the honor of your pres
ence, never to the bride.

reply is requested It is a little
French phrase and means Respond,

should not need to be this suggestion
to well-bred women.
Write upon plain, white note paper.
A simple monogram is permissible
but white or cream is always good
taste, and the simplicity OF both paper

/. If you care for the boys friendship,
1t would be well for you to help him
overcome this fault. AS soon as he
starts to speak against a friend try to
point out the good qualities and let him
understand that he Is not doing himself
nor the friend any good by offering adj
verse citicisms.
Q. It Is never we'll to believe i'll re-
ports about our friends until we have
probed into the matter ourselves to find
out whether the gossip is false or true.
8. Filtration with any one Is never con-
sidered proper, and the girl who INDUCES
in this silly pastime loses her self-re-
spect and the respect of others.

"HE only bad effect Of that most
delightful recreation, motoring,
is the havoc it wreaks on the
feminine complexion. A long
ride in the wind, the sun and the dust

the machine come out of it looking like

Fortunately. it is a trouble that is
easily overcome by the application OF
a few simple remedies given here.
AS soon as you return home from

cream, rubbing il well into the skin
with a circular motion until the face
loses the stiff WrinkIed feeling il has
had Then rub the cream well off with
a soft cloth. IN massaging.~ pay par
ticuiar attention to the tiny wrinkles
formed about the eyes by squirting in
the face Of the sun; they are likely to
become permanent if they are not mas
saged away.
After rubbing the cream off. wash
your face in hot water, rinsing with

hol. This viii remove the effects OF

use must he employed. and positively
not wood or denatured alcohol.
Next, powder the face thickly with

since il does not clog up the pores. II
you are badly sunburnt, add a little

giycerin to the alcohol with which you
sponge your face before powdering.
Now It is the turn OF your hair. Take
it down and brush the dust and the
tangles out OF it: comb 1t, and rub violet
water into the roots. Then air 1t for a
while and put it up loosely, with not too
many pins or combs.
Your neck should Of course have
been given the same treatment as your
face, and your hands and arms should
be washed, creamed and powdered.
Then change into easy shoes and you
will look as well as If you had not been
travelling miles and hours in rushing

If you are not going home, all this
procedure is impossible; but whether
your journey ends in a hotel or
friends house. ii is always possible at
least to wash and powder your face and
hands and, IN all probability, to brush
and comb your hair.
Prevention is better than cure; and
you will not have SO much to do your

fore starting. Your face should be
lightly powdered. and you should wear
thick veil. If you are at the wheel

ACCEPTING INVITATIONS

NN THE receipt Of an invitation you
should either accept or refuse

tive regret or acceptance should be
sent, and nothing except severe Ill
ness or death should change your plans.
Do not say: I will come If I possibly

wants TO know exactly who must be
provided for, that she may arrange

So you must be courteously prompt
and must not selfsh1y keep a place at
dinner until a last moment. The sud

you cannot come is very inconyen-
