The Finuer Bowl,

A finger bowl is the final service of
a fruit course and usually terminates
a dinner The bowl should be half
filed with water and set upon plate
holding small dolly.
When the plate upon which the bowl
is carried to the table is intended to
receive the fruit the bowl and dolly
are placed at one side of the dish.
Tips Of fingers of each hand are dip
ped in turn into the water and rubbed
together gently until all traces of the
fruits are removed They are dried
on the napkin. which should remain
on the knees and not be used as a
towel after a hand bath.
If the water in the bowl is scented,
the odor should be very faint indeed
A better plan is to place single fra
grant blossom or leaf to float on the
surface of the miniature lake. The
host or hostess may set the example
by taking the blossom from the bowl
and DRYING il Oh the napkin and pin

Etiauette Of Woddinn Gifts.

Though persons in mourning may rot
attend either the religious ceremony
or the reception following a marriage.
they send wedding gifts the same as

Should the wedding invitation be-
sent to a friend who is travelling or
who lives at distance the recipient
sends bridal gift and is careful to
forward it so that it will reach the
bride before the ceremony If possible.
In case the recipient does not know
the bride or her family, but has re
ceived either social or substantial fa
vOrs from he groom. the present is
sent to the bride the same as if She
were an acquaintance.
An invitation extended to those who

AFRAID OF THE DARK.

He fingered as long as he dared in
conversation with the storekeeper, for
the village street would seem still long
eI and darker to his excited nerves on
dhe return trip. But somehow, in the
end, he covered the ground, the Thing
following close at his heels. Each ex-
perience of this kind accentuated the
child's terror of the dark. but it seemed
to the dawning man within him coward
ly to be afraid. and so he suffered in
silence-for had he not heard mother
say it was absurd for a great boy of
seven to be afraid of the dark"
1t was few days later that Nor
man, in punishment for some small mis-
demeanor, was thrust into the utter
blackness of a closed closet With a
shrek, he flung his little body against
the locked door, beating it wildly with
feet and fists. His passion was mis-
taken for one of anger and unheeded.
His sensitive nerves, already unstrung
by his repeated night errands, succumb-
ed very quickly to the abject terror
which seized the little fellow, and a
dull thud on the closet floor soon an
nounced to his mother that all con-
sciousness of his agony was at an end.
Medical skill relieved the convulsions
of the hour, but only Higher Power
can set Norman free from the idiocy
that is his to-day as a result of his
pother's thoughtlessness.
or fears most common TO children.
The Washington herald., 1911-08-10

the fear of the dark is the hardest to
overcome-but it may be overcome. In
fants have no fear of the dark. A
child's first vague uneasiness is not in
frequently caused through some
thoughtless conversation of an elder.
At other times, the first impressions OF
the immensity of the darkness are gath
cred outside of the home. Suggestions
are made to the young mind through
the stories of nurse maid, or of other
children, and there are again cases
where the fear of the dark is instinc-
tive.
/ am certain that, in the very begin
ming, when the awful sense of inse-
curity in the presence of the night
seized Norman, its development into a
definite fear might have been avoided
had he had the comforting companion
ship of his mother upon those night
errands, at least until he learned con-
fdence and felt sense of security.
True, he was too much of little man
to complain, but that does not excuse
this mother for not reading the signs
of his many manifestations of shrink
ing. 1t is certain that a close, dark
closet is brutal, inhuman punishment
for any child, and likely to make Of
him Cor herr, when the very least has
been said, nervous wreck
| am glad to say that this case of
Norman's mother is exceptional, for
there are few mothers so cruelty
thoughtless.
The Washington herald., 1911-08-10

Closing the door behind him, the boy
hesitated before plunging into the shad-
ows of the night. He stood irreso1ute,
his hand still clinging to the doorknob,
the turn of which would flood the steps
with light. He was an intensely nerv-
Gus, sensitive little fellow, possessing a
Temperament that recoiled from all
things unknown, shrinking peculiarly
from the dark.
Where's Norman" came the father
voice to him through the open window.
Il sent him to the store for some
matches" answered the mother-voice.
ITS pretty dark out" suggested the
man.
Nonsense" the woman answered
him. Norman has just got to get over
being afraid of the dark. 1t is absurd
for a great boy of seven! The only
way is to keep sending him out after
nightfall until he becomes accustomed
to it"
The child did not wait to hear any
more. Giving one last look to the
friendly light fltering through the
chinks in the closed shutters of the
window, he turned his face to the dark
village street. AS the shadows of night
enveloped him, he felt that there was
some great black Thing at his heels.
He began to run. but the more he ac-
CELEBRATED his speed, the faster ran the
Thing. Now he was sure it was gain
ing upon him. Oh, would he never
get to the store

sort of try at a severe denudation Of
