The Ideal Guest.

When visiting friends or relatives a
guest should adapt herself as we'll as
possible to her new environment and
bring no Earring note or undue disturb
nee into the family circle. There are
so many little attentions that can bring
comfort and JOY into a household. If
n hostess feels that her guest needs
constant entertaining and amusement
and special service she will not wish
to repeat her invitation so soon again.
OF course no one needs to be re-
minded that an invitation to spend a
few days or a few weeks under an
others roof is a great compliment, and
that 1t is the duty Of the guest to do
all that he Or she can to show ap-
probation of the fact by entering into
all of the festivities with enthusiasm
and interest. At the same time one
must be careful to give as little trouble
as possible, especially in a house where
only one maid is employed. For the
time being the guest is a member Of
the family.

parents of the girl either in her W
home by means Of notes to intimate
friends or in a formal notice in the
newspapers. The girl may write to
ner own friends. Upon hearing Of a

and In writing to a man one congratu-
lates him upon his good fortune.
An engagement may last for any
length of time. Too long or too short
engagements are not advisable. If an

ter for all concerned to have it an
nounced speedily.
When wedding cards are issued it
becomes the duty of the prospective
bride to acknowledge the receipt Of
every gift.

Hints For Travellers.

GVsuSS VOT urdVeter9s
When a man serves a. a woman's
escort on a railway train he should
buy her ticket, see that her luggage
Is checked, carry her bag, etc., or pay
a porter to do So, and see that she is
comfortably seated. If the journey is
a fairly long one and the ticket cost a
few dollars or more, the woman should
pay for the ticket, but If it is only a
short trip and the cost of the ticket is
comparatively small the man should
pay for everything. If but one meal is
taken in the dining car the man may
act as host, but when the journey is a
long one the woman should, Of course,
pay for her W meals.
When a long journey Of some days
Is taken, a man will frequently find
that he can serve in many little ways
a woman or women who are travelling
alone. This is perfectly proper If it is
done with dignity. But during a run
of a few hours it is not permissible for
a man to try to make the acquaintance
Of any woman travelling alone, no mat
ter how much he may wish to help her
in various ways.
A well bred traveller will never push
or shove a way into a car, but will en-
ter quietly, following those who are
ahead in the line Of people who are
waiting. In a car that is only par
TALLY filled it is permissible to deposit
mes belongings in an empty seat, but
as the train fills up n should not be
SO inconsiderate Is to occupy a seat
in this way.

Suit Case Good Form.

To the inexperienced traveller it
might seem strange that there is a
proper way of carrying a suit case.
But to the veteran tourist, who has
visited many ports and climes, 1t will
seem strongly creditable. The suit
case, when carried, should be held an
inch away from ones clothes. Unless
this is done the case. constantly rub
bling against the cloth, is sure to leave
its mark of wear and tear.
The river press. [volume] (Fort Benton, Mont.) 1880-current, 1911-10-04
Good Form Don'ts,

Don't attempt to wear your stock
collar without having it carefully
boned and don't depend o. pins to
keep it fastened and in place. But
tons and buttonholes or hooks and
eyes will answer the purpose much
better and are not difficult to adjust.
Don't wear quantities Of cheap false
hair pufs, curls, etc. False hair is not
to be utterly despised. for the girl
whom nature has neglected to endow
with an abundance of tresses needs a
little, but do choose it carefully and
be sure that it matches your own hair.

Speaking of the advantage of making
these exhibits, President L. w. Hill says,
"From experience we find that we get
better results from our exhibits at land

1t follows that if the railroads get
such good results from the land show
