New Silver Fad.

Now that antique silver, with its dull
hues, Is in vogue, it is not fashionable
to have silver bright, either for the din
ing or the toilet table. So polishing silver
to clean it has to be cleverly done in or
der to remove the dirt without producing
too much brilliancy.
Quite as effective as silver polish Is q
bath in soapy water. boiling hot, to which
a few drops of ammonia have been added.
Washed thoroughly in this and then
rinsed in clear hot water, the silver will
emerge spotlessly clean and take on just
the right polish If carefully wiped with
coarse, dry towels. This drying is an
art, for the pieces should be washed one
at a time, and when taken from the
water dried Immediately.
Never leave q lot Of silver to drain at
one time, for it will partially dry before
you get to 1t, and will be SO cool by
the time you wipe 1t that the clean look
will be lost.
When the silver is carefully washed in
the fashion above described, 1t does not
require q cleaning with polish more than
once month.
OF course. where there is gas in the
house the silver will discolor more quickly
than where electric lights are used.
1t is a clever plant to keep a piece of
camphor in the silver drawer, as 1t pre-
vents the fiat silver from discoloring,
and leaves no suggestion Of its odor. ex-

There seems to be uncertainty in the
minds of many women as 10 whether o.
not they should call after accepting the
hospitality of an afternoon tea. This is
a question affected largely by circum-
stances. II the tea is distinctly an at

afterward, for the reception is literally
being lat 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 OF who
sent their cards.
II a tea is given for some one individ-
ual or for a guest of honor, then woman
accepting such invitation should make
tea call within a week afterward, just as
she would for dinner. or in returning a
first call.
Never stay away from tea because
you thing you will not know any one but
your hostess. You never can tell whom
you may meet, and even If you finl yoar-
self among strangers you can with per-
feet propriety make yourself at home. II

Social Notes.

communication or gift received by
nerson in social life must be acknowl-
edged. This is a rule SO emphatic that
it has no exceptions.
And equally is it the rule that, II the
communication be card or note. it must
be responded to in precisely the same
form. Acting upon this, no woman need
fear making a mistake in this branch OF
her social duties.
A visiting card, slight as it is. should
not be ignored unless it bears the letters
Up p c. In that instance 1T is an
answer to courtesies received. as well as
an announcement of departure. and there
fore might be said to close communlca-
ton.
A receipt Of a card following an event
of importance to the family requires a
card in return. For example. after a
birth or death, or other occasions less
momentous. it is not uncommon for
friends to post visiting cards as indicat-
ing that they are aware of the happen
ing. Sometimes merely a word or line
is written on the card. as condolences,
PUBLICATIONS" according to the nature
of the event. The return card. which
should be sent within couple OF days,
may have the word Thanks" written on
It, or it may be blank. except for the en-
graved name and address.
1t is not considered good form to an
SWer note with caro-, save aIteF
death, when a bereaved family is permit
ted to make little effort. and its members
may spare themselves the work of writ
ing notes. Even under such conditions as
before described it is better to send q
note If there is some one who can do so.
Invitations are always to be answered
in the same form in which they are re-
ceived, so that il note comes written
in the first person the response also
should contain the personal pronoun.
More formal invitations, in which the
third person is employed, require the
third in return.
Incidentally a person who is unaccus-
toned to writing this most formal COM
munication, which takes the third per-
son, must be careful that in answering
the response continues to contain the
third at the end as at the beginning.
More than one person has committed
the error Of beginning correctly with the
third and ending with the first person.
