Don't seat the two cleverest people side by side.

 Don't forget to overlook the table in detail before the guests arrive
 Don't fail to be ready and in the drawing room five minutes before the time the guests are expected to ar rive.
 Don't allow the conversation to be- come entirely between couples. Make it general at times.

Makina a Valance.

The main difficulty in making a val ance, so much in favor for the old fashioned beds, is to keep it in place without putting tacks into the furni- ture or having it on narrow strips that pull out from under the mattress. One woman has hit upon a plan of hav- ing heavy unbleacl1ed shooting cut just the size of the bed. or a little within the line of the sides. The sheeting is shrunl1 before being used. The valance is sewed to it on each side and across the end.
 The cover is then spread over the springs and under the mattress, which holds it firmly in place. If the val ance is of thin material that needs frequent washing, it is a good idea to put it into narrow band, provided with buttonholes at intervals close enough to prevent sagging. Buttons are sewed to the shooting in places t6 correspond.

To make a liquid glue that will last for years, break some pieces of glue and put them into a bottle, adding to them little wahiskey. Cork the bot tie tightly and set it aside for few days, when the glue will be ready for use without the application of heat, except in very cold weather In this case the bottle should be place in hot water for few minutes before the glue is used.
