Visiting.

When you are visiting, do not let your
hostess be "twice glad" )" that is, pleased
at your arrival, and equally pleased at
your departure; SO heed the following
suggestions:
First of all, make your time suit the
hostess, and when that is settled do not
change It; when the time Of the visit has
expired, don't stay one day over.
Don't take a lot of luggage; never
have more than one trunk, or it may be
thought you are going to take up your
abode in the new locality.
Don't interfere with any family ar
rangements; the satisfactory guest is
one who adapts herself under all circum-
stances.
Don't fail to forget any little domestic
upheavals, should any arise and try to
carry away with you only the good feel
ing, that which was meant for you.
Don't correct the children; no matter
what parents say, they do not like 1t.
Don't give an order or hint OF any
kind to servant.
Don't be late to meals, and don't invite
a caller to a meal, unless the hostess sug-
gests it first.
Don't leave your possessions lying
around; you will be given q room, 80
keep your belongings in it.
Don't depend upon the hostess for
writing materials; have your own, and
use them.
Don't expect your friend to supply
toilet articles; every self-respecting per-
son has her own.
Don't be guilty of soiling guest-room
furnishings, such as bed, bureau and
washstand accessories.
Don't disturb the household by COM
ing in from theatre or party late and
talking, If a friend should escort you;
host and hostess may be tired.
Don't leave your room In disorder, ex-
pectipg the maid TO rearrange it every
day, especially where only one servant is
kept.
Don't allude to the wonderful things
some other friend may own, especially If
these good people are only moderately
circumstanced.
Don't ask any one to mail unstamped
letters.
Don't contract any small bills for
lduuuEy, PopChSS SoA ioASSS he6sSSSes
phone calls or possible express packages;
such trifles are easily forgotten; your
hostess may be willing to settle them,
but she should not be permitted to do
so under any circumstances.
Don't at the expiration of your stay,
leave the house without making some
appropriate gift to maid OF maids.
Don't depend upon the man of the
house to look up trains, or provide bag
gage tags; attend to these items your
self.
Don't overdress, just because you have
clothes, and don't use slang.
Don't talk about your trials, tribula-
tions or health; people don't care to
hear such things. Cultivate bright
thoughts and optimistic ways, so there
will be special charm about your per-
souality, which all will feel the instant
you enter their presence, particularly u
you are not blessed with beauty of face
or form.
First, last and always, remember the
welcome guest is the one who helps, and
does not hinder her host and hostess in
anything.

WHAT A DONKEY
FOUND OUT

There was once donkey that didn't
know he was u donkey. In fact, ne
didn't know what he was because ne
had no relatives or friends to tell MIN
and no mirrors to look In. So he used
to sit and think.
II wonder what l am, anyhow!
don't believe l am a bird, and don't
feel exactly as If were bee, and !
can't bark like a dog. really don't
know what am"
At last one day he made up his mind
to 20 out into the world and lind out
what he was. So he set forth briskly.
determined to talk to every one along
the way. After he had gone little
distance he net an old woman Dicking
up sticks. -,

you mind telling me what am?

A Girls Footwear.

A girl who wishes to look we'll groom
ed never should neglect her footwear.
1t is one of the first things passer-by
notices, particularly if the girl in ques-
ton possesses an attractive face.
So if you are wearing up-to.date head
gear be careful that your feet display the
same thoughtful attention. A shoe may
be of the correct shape and it may tit
we'll, but unless 1t is carefully attended
to every time it is worn it is sure to pre-
sent a more or less shabby appearance
when it peeps out from beneath the folds
of a pretty dress skirt.
Now it Is not at all necessary to be
constantly putting dressing upon shoe
to keep it looking we'll. One application
every week or ten days is sufficient for
ternated with another pair even longer
interval may be allowed.
A yard of cheese cloth is a girls best
friend in more ways than one, and for
shoe polisher it has no equal. Hold the
cheese cloth tightly in either hand and
draw it briskly across dusty shoe and II
will look as if it had just received a coat
of polish, unless the shoe has been too
long neglected. One of the medicated
black dust cloths that are being sold in
all the stores now is an excellent polish.
er of foot wear. Either of these is much
better than brush, besides being neater
and more convenient. A brisk polish
with one of these every morning, and re-
turning from walk, will keep either
black or tan shoes in good condition for
long time.
Then the shoe lacings should be care.
fully looked after. Never allow them
to get rusty or frayed. Tie them neatly,
also. A hastily tied shoe always shows
its neglect as soon as it peeps out from
beneath the dress. 1t does not pay for
girl to be unmindful of these little de-
tails il she wishes to be success either
socially or in the home life.

About the Elephant.

Elephants haze a wonderful amount
Of self control. They will submit day.
after day to have painful wounds
dressed by their keeper and meet dan
ger In obedience to orders, though their
intelligence is sufficient to understand
their peril and far too great for man
to trick them into a belief that 1t Is
nonexistent. No animal will face dan
ger more readily ut mans bidding.
AS an instance, take the following
incident, which recently occurred In
East India: A small female elephant
vas charged by buffalo in high grass.
md her rider, in the hurry Of the mo-
ment and the sudden stopping Of the
elephant, fired an explosive shell from
his rifle, not into the buffalo, but into
The elephants shoulder. The wound
vas so severe that 1t had not healed
yenr later. Yet the elephant stood
.irm. although 1t was gored by the
buffalo, which was then killed with
another gun. What Is even more
strange is that the elephant was not
"gun shy" afterward.

Work For the Girls.

The American Boy Scout movement.
however, does not intend to attempt
making a scout Of the American girl.
That is n boys work-a mans work.
The girl. however. is given opportun

Clever Ruse Of French Peasan' Ss"
ed For conscription.
Two young men of certain Frenen
Village were called on to draw ior u
conscription. One only was wanted u
co,nplete the number. and OF the TWO
who were to draw one was the son o'
a rich farmer unI the other the Only
child of u poor widow.
The farmer made friends With tue
official In charge Of the ballot ai1'
promised him handsome present l.
he would only prevent his son from
going into the army. In order TO do
This the official put into the urn two
black balls instead Of one black ana
one white. When the young men came
he said:
"There are two balls. one black ano
one white. In the urn. He who draws
the black one must serve. Your turn
is flrst," pointing to the widows son.
The latter. suspecting that all was
not fair, drew one Of the balls from
the urn and Immediately swallowed IL
without even looking at 1t.
"Why have you done that? asked
the official. How are we 10 kho"
whether you have drawn black OF
white ball?"
"Oh, that's very simple" was the re-
ply "Let the other man now draw
IF have the black he must necessary
" draw the white one."
There was no help for 1t, and the
farmers son, putting his hand into the
urn. drew the remaining ball, wnlcn
to the satisfaction OF the spectators

"oH. SEE THE DARLING LITTLE GRAY
what YOU are" exclaimed the old wo-
man.

replied.
"Then you must be a goose! she
cried.
THANK you," said the donkey, I'm
much Obliged" and he went on his
way saying TO himself
Now. to think that Pm really a
goose and never knew it! ] wonder
why can't seem to flap my wings.
Perhaps shall be able to II l keep on
trying"
So he went on awhile longer trying
to flap his wings and attempting to
quack until quite by accident he step
ped right into small fort that n
rather rude little boy was building by
the waySide.
Look out. you lobster!' cried the lit.
tie boy Indignantly.
"Oh. excuse me!' said the donkey.
We'll, to think that I'm Il lobster. after
ALL" he said to himself going OIL. The
old lady must have been mistaken.
suppose If I'm lobster ! ought to go
into the water and have swim.
So he made his way down to the sea-
shore and waded into the water. After
swimming about for some little time
he decided that he really should not
like to live in the water permanently.
and 50 he waded back to the shore
and lay down to dry.
II hardly think I'm a lobster" he
said. Il don't feel as If l could pinch
any one except with my mouth. and
Holsters don't pinch that way"
When he was quite dry he walked
up the beach and was pleased to find n
nice heap Of red apples.
This is just what want after my
swim," he said. And Pm perfectly
sure I'm not q lobster. because lob
sters don't eat apples"
When he had finished two or three
a little girl in blue dress came run
ming down the beach.
"Those are my apples! Go away
she cried
"Oh. excuse mer said the donkey.
But before go would you mind tell
ing me what am"
You're a pig. that's what you are!'
cried the little girl, who was still an
CRY.
Dear me- said the donkey as he
walked sorrowfully away, what a
disappointment! I'm sure Id rather
be a goose or even a lobster. And I'm
afraid must be a pig. as she says. be-
cause know pigs eat apples"
He went on for some little while
after that until he came to beautiful
big house in the midst Of large
grounds. There were some pretty
children playing outside. At first the
donkey was afraid to go near them.
I'm sure they don't allow pigs in
such a beautiful place." he said.
At last. however, he grew courageous
enough to put his nose inside the gate.
IT that one Of the children ran toward
him shouting. "Oh. see the darling lit
:!e cray donkey"
Sure enough. it's a donkey" said
The old gardener. who was standing
near watering the flowers.
TO think Of that" exclaimed the
donkey. And believe they are
right. Somehow the name seems to tit
me exactly. really believe | am a
donkey"
And In time he was sure Of 1t. He
stayed with the children. who kept
him as their own special pet. and they
always spoke Of him as their own
dear. precious donkey.

How to Launder Black Clothes.

This was problem which confronted
me, on going into mourning for loved
one. 1t is absolutely necessary to wear
clothes that can be laundered IL one
keeps nice and fresh. This plan can be
used for black lawn shirtwaists and cor
set covers, and sateen, or any black
underskirt except silk.
First, black clothes must never be
washed in water that has been used for
either washing or rinsing white things,
as there is always fine lint in this water
which sticks to the black. and no amount
of after-rinsing will get it off. Wash in
hot, clean soap suds, and rinse in tue
ordinary way. To starch, take cupful
of white corn meal place in frying pan,
and set next the fire on the range. Burn
this until it is black, sticky mass, stirr-
ing it steadily. When all is black, pour
in boiling water, stirring all the while.
Then strain, and you have splendid
starch. Iron on the wrong side, and
your shirtwaists will be beautifully
fresh and sweet.

with vinegar, putting on top of that q
handful of common salt. With q large

With clear cold water, found that the
