prefer. They will not think you rude be-
cause you make this request, On the con-
trary, they will like il. for they are there
to help dispense hospitality and they will
at once talk to you so that you will no
longer feel strange and alone. After you
have drunk your tea thank the woman or
girl who gave it you and say goodbye
10 her as If she were your friend. Never
leave the house without saying goodb
to your hostess, no matter how great the
crowd about her may be- When you enter
the house and greet your hostess, do not
stay too long talking to her, for this Is
mOnopollzing her when others are arriv-
ing, and each guest has equal claim on
her attention.
When you cannot attend a tea to which
you have ben invited it Is most important
that you send your cards and have them
arrive at the proper moment. They should
be received by the hostess on the morning
of the tea. This gives her an idea whom
not to expect. Etiquet permits you to send
your cards by a friend or a member of
your family who may be going
If there is guest of honor at the tea,
you leave your husbands card for her also,
as well as one OF yours.

There seems to be uncertainty in the
minds of many women as to whether OF
not they should call after accepting the
hospitality of an afternoon tea. This is a
question affected largely by circumstances.
If the tea is distinctly an ''at home" a
woman is not expected to call afterward.
for the reception is literally being at
home TO receive all persons on visiting
list, and in the weeks that follow the
hostess goes about and calls on all those
who came on her day or who sent their
cards.
If tea Is given for some one individual
or for a guest of honor, then a woman &C
cepting such invitation should make a tea
call within a week afterward, just as she
would for a dinner, or in returning a first
call.
Never stay away from tea because you
think you win not know none but your
hostess. You never can tell whom you
may meet, and even IL you find yourself
among strangers, you can with perfect
propriety make yourself at home. II you
are alone and do not find friends In the

Etiquette. to be obserN ed by a man as
soon as he is engaged to be married, is as
strictly defined as It is for the girl though
the former Is not as often understood.
Immediately the engagement exists, and
before it is announced, the man should
notify his nearest relatives. II they live
in the same town with him he should tell
them by word of mouth, making a call
specially for such purpose. If they are in
another city he should write to them at
once to let them know the news.
II either his father or mother is living
he should go to them, rather than write,
that they may know his plans. Another
reason for an immediate visit from him is
that they should be able to receive their
sons future wife in the way that will be

about his youth.
Their say that when he was burly

tooth fell to aching and he tramped in to
Wyalusing to have it out
The dentist pushed him back in the
operating chair, stuck cork between his
Jaws to keep them open, and examined the
sore tooth carefully. Then, frowning, shsk-
ing his head, he selected the biggest and
most substantial pair of forceps.
lis this going to hurt doctor? said the
farm hand, looking anxiously at the tre-
mendous forceps.
THE dentist answered with a smile:
"'well. II II doesn't, we won't charge you
anything.
And he rolled up his sleeve, hooked the
forceps on to the tooth, put his foot against
the arm of the chair for Il brace, and-ah,
1t was horrible
But all through the horrible ordeal the
young farm hand neither howled nor
groaned nor grunted. Like an image he sat.
Indeed, a kind of smile flickered from time
to time over his face.
When the tooth was at last out the
dentist said, compassionately:
1T didn't hurt so very much. did it?''
Hurt? why, It didn't hurt at ALL said
the farm hand.
And he took leave without paying, hold
ing the dentist to his bargain.
