Wedding Receptions.

Women dc not remove their hats
at formal afternoon receptions. Hats
should not be worn in the evening.
There should be maids in attendance
, take care of wraps. The bride does
cot furnish carriages except for her
immediate party. Guests provide
their own. The matron of honor and
bridesmaid help receive guests, stand
ing next to the parents of the bride
groom. If you take friend with
you, only the most formal introduce
ton is required, and you do not re-
main to talk with the receiving line.
Nothing more than congratulations
to the newly married couple are re-
quired, except friendly greeting to
their respective parents. If the re-
ception includes a dance and supper,
the guests go to the dancing floor i'm
mediately they have greeted the re-
ceiving line.-New York Telegram.

The Tight Little
Isle,
seceseeeeosoeseessosessos

An Englishman's pride in his own
country is both admirable and humor-
GUS at times. In very good Western
story in Gunter's, entitled "The Re-
mittance Man." Preston Ward, the
writer, has his hero apostrophize
England in these words:
81 see a place where the grass is
green-so green; you don't know
green, Tom, till you see English grass
all rolled and pampered and trimmed
for hundreds of years by my father
and my fathers father, and their
fathers back-so far. And there's
hedges-trim hedges, Tom, not a
great rugged, cruel mountain ridge
that notches the horizon. English
hedges you can see over best when
a good old Irish hunter lifts his front
legs to take them. 1t takes your
breath, that lift, it does. Maybe a
little trout stream plays for while
through the green-so green-grass;
it's an English trout stream-never
clustering nor making a fuss about
itself like the mountain fellows here
And the whole countrys filled with
trees-English trees. Great oaks
that have lived in our places since
we, and that guard the old homes
and the old families and make them
what they are. They're not afraid to
stretch out; they don't get ashamed
and stunted at timber line; there's
no scrub oak nor shrubs nor cactus
in my England. And all the places
are laid out in straight lines, and all
the families are straight like the
lines, and the hedges mean that this
is mine and that is yours, but we
won't quarrel about it, for we're all
Englishmen. oh, it's a tight little
place, Tom; and it sometimes cramps
fellows like me and chafes us mortal
sore, and sometimes we-well, we
aren't as straight as the oaks, and
they make us ashamed to listen to
the English breeze whispering
through their English branches. But
it's tight little England-my Eng
land, Tom! And that's what 1 see
down there in the mountains. It's
calling me home; calling me, calling
me home like the echo we catch up
here"

that Mrs. Jesusa Agnes Ellsworth, a
grandmother, made love to him and
even promised to settle set amount
of money on him after their marriage.
The two met about three years ago
and became friends. Bower alleged
that Mrs. Ellsworth wrote him en-
dearing letters and that they visited
a hotel in Clifton, where they occu-
pied separate rooms and he was de-
scrlbed as Mrs. Ebsworth's nephew.
There was testimony that Mrs. Eds
worth paid the bills. Mrs. Ellsworth
denied she ever agreed to marry the
young man and said that the letters
Bower put in evidence were written by
her as joke to the young man. She
says that after he proposed marriage
to her she ordered him never to speak
to her. The jury, however, thought
the young mans feelings had been
wounded.-New York Press.

"You don't believe mel" The gray

Il do believe you, and l ask your

your position here-as a servant"

Mr.. Barrows?" 1t was the icy voice
of my hostess. Being now without

When I need any detective work,
Mr.. Barrows, I will call upon you
perhaps. Until then, kindly refrain
from annoying my servants.'
1t was evident she thought me
smitten by the charms of her table
girl. So 1 was-yet-was a we'll
meaning young man ever in a more
awkward position?
Nonsense, Lily! Mr.. Barrows does
not deserve such abominable treat
ment! And I'm not your servant"
"Oh, Daphne, think what you are

mutinous maid
Il don't care. You'll have to tell
him, Lily. I'm sure he can be trusted

How blessed for that,
Then they told me how Mrs. Car
ter's lack of a waitress had been sup
piled by her cousin Daphne. Know
ing Louise as did, could appreciate
the situation, and after mutual as
surances of forgiveness and conf
dence our strange session in the pam

Pleasant Manners,

Life would be mere livable if more
of us felt it duty to be pleasant
however things might go.
An old woman once told girl with
a Puritan conscience: stop worry
ing so much about the right and
wrong of things and keep smiling,
and you will make this world better
place"
The girl who learns to keep smil-
ing when she would much rather
weep or storm has gained victory
over herself beyond penance and
fasting.
Be pleasant, first, from a sense of
duty, and it will soon becc me habit.
If sulkiness, deceit, i'll temper, nag
ging can get grip on character, why
not pleasant ways?
If you cultivate a pleasant manner
from no other reason, do so through
self-interest. The girl who is agree
able never means over the world s
treatment. Solomon knew when he
advised the soft answer" rule for
living.
Make a pleasant manner your rule
The peace of mind that follows free
dom from brawls, snappy answers
and irritability adds years to your
life and to your success in life

Tucked Blouse.

The simple tucked blouse is always
dainty and attractive one This
model can be made from any mate
rial that is adapted to lingerie treat
ment, and that means the thin silks
and light weight woods as well as
muslins. 1t can be made with high or
square neck, and the square neck can
be finished with banding or with
frill or in any way to suit the fancy.
Mercerized batiste with banding of
lace is the material illustrated, but
muslins include embroidered and
openwork sorts and all kinds of fancy
effects, while silks that are adapted
to such model mean foulards. India

mixtures. The blouse suits the odd
waist and the gown equally well.
The waist is made with front and
backs. 1t is tucked to form a yoke
and closed invisibly at the back. The
sleeves are in one piece each gathered
into cuffs, and these cuffs can be
made deeper or shorter according to

Southern Beaten Biscuit.

Slit together one quart flour, a salt
spoonful salt and a half teaspoonful
baking powder Rub into the -four
with the tips of the fingers a heaping
tablespoonful lard, then add cup OF
milk or enough to make stiff dough,
sitter than for bread. Now, if you
follow the old-time method of beat
ing, take biscuit beaten or rolling
pin and beat the dough on block of
hard wood until it blisters and pops.
1t takes a strong arm and a skillful
one to beat we'll. Cut into rounds
about the size of a watch (medium
size). prick with a fork and bake
about thirty minutes in a moderate
oven. If you like short cuts in your
culinary methods instead of beating
try running the dough through a
food chopper about six times. This
blisters the dough as well as the ira
ditional method of beating and can
be done in a tenth of the time

Woman to Woman.

The woman who for any reason
cannot get on with women is prepar-
Ing for herself lonely old age. She
may be beautiful, witty, a favorite
with the men, yet there are times
when she realizes that in one sense
she is failure. She asks herself
whether enc of the most tangible
forms Of success is not to get on with
people. And the greater success-as
she also begins to Observes to get
on with women. To get on with men
is much less distinguished, for the
odds are all in her favor. Men are
not critical in their attitude toward
her, and respond quickly to atten-
ton or kindness, seldom questioning
the motives underlying either, as
members of her own sex are prone
to do, says Woman's Life. 1t seems
impossible for a certain class of wo-
men to be fair to women; ergo, it is
equally impossible for them to get on
with other women.

Bleached Hair.

This is pre-eminently the time for
women who have been dyeing or
bleaching their hair to discontinue
the practice. for so much false hair
can be worn now that the head can
be completely covered with it during
the period that the tresses are re-
gaining their natural shade.
Times without number I am asked
by my correspondents how they can
restore color, having changed it by
dyes, and my only answer it by mas
sage, brushing and copious use of
oils. The last, perhaps the most inn
portant, is manifestly impossible
when ones own hair must show. but
when false pieces are used the head
may be deluged and the oil will not
show.
The chief injury done the hair
through dyeing or bleaching is the
drying of natural oils until the locks
starve or become so crisp they break
constantly.
Oil is the best method of nourish-

oil is also nourishing.
