impression that you were a strictly

haps an embryo captain of industry.
Not that you said a thing that wasn't

Of having succeeded.
When you were engaged in the
above little stunts, Horace, you were
throwing a front" At the end of
your vacation, after you had returned
to the daily grind and your hall room,
you yourself both felt and acted diff
ferently. Somehow. those airs and
graces and, more than all else, the
vacation spirit fell from you. You
became natural again. You were no
longer keyed up to top pitch.
Now this matter OF putting up a

one to be made sport of. Sometimes
it's a mighty good thing. Nowadays.
somehow, the man without one doesn't
seem to get very far. People are at
tracted more by success than by me-
diocrity OF failure. Instinctively, one
has confidence in those in whom
others believe. The stimulation Of at
taAumS0ls OF prosperity OF SUCCESS NOT
infrequently attracts these things to

ing them tangible assets.
The danger lies in taking this mat
ter Of Throwing a 'front.' seriously;
in deliberately setting out to deceive
others; in carrying the thing to the
extreme and. believe us. Horace, in

ship in war carries eight hundred
projectiles, two thousand medium and
ten thousand small calibre, and the
cost Of firing them would exceed a

piece of napery lace in the center
OF the board and doilies to match IN

The attractive luncheon tables also
bear several small silver or glass
dishes filled with bonbons. candied

water bottles, set upon individual
doilies or in silver stands supplied for
the purpose. Large hemmed napkins
are often used. done up without starch
and laid in a well-folded square across

as for luncheon. except that q snowy
damask cloth covers the entire table
and there is a larger silver service,
especially OF spoons. An ordinary din
ner, to which a guest may be invited,
consists of soup, fish, one or two veg
tables, salad, dessert and coffee. One
o'clock is the usual hour for luncheon
and between half-past six and half

Afternoon tea is invariably announced
for four O'Clock, and all invitations
state the hour for the function.

ways to arrange for convenience when

It is quite a problem to remove the
soiled dishes without awkwardness.
but there Is one woman who has
solved the matter. She uses q species
OF low cabinet with boards which slide
out easily. The soiled plates are
passed from the guests to the host.
and when these are placed on the
lower shelf of the cabinet she takes
from the upper shelves and passes
along the fresh plates. On top of the
pretty cabinet is placed the coffee urn,
and after the work of the table has
been disposed of. without removing
from his chair, the host makes the
coffee and serves 1t in the little cups
alongside in the same way.
