Trifing Acts
That Are Necessary.

The Importance OF a note OF ac-
acknowledgement not only OF an invi-
tation but OF courtesy received can
not be oler-estimatcd, and the few
graceful words of thanks for the
pleasant evening please the hostess
and gain for IA guest the reputation
OF having been well brought up ana
also of being appreciative-two most
valuable assets.
In these days. when attractive sta
tionery can be bought for so little,
every girl should take care TO select
attractive note paper. The cost OF
marking the address is also very tri-
fling. and dainty note, well writ
i,n and well expressed. always makes
a good impression upon the recipient.
Small note paper and the oblong cards
should always be kept at hand 50
there can be no excuse for not an
swrrng an invitation promptly or in
acknowledging acts Of courtesy o.
kindness. and Just such 'riiling acts
as these do molr to make or mar u
girls popularity than She realileS.

The short coat Of lace has returned
at the bidding of fashion.
The grelot or ball fringe is used
TO edge the TUNES of wolfe and mus
lin dresses.
The evening gowns of demitrain
length have straight, clinging. not in
curving lines, and pigeon tail back.
A few collarless utility coats are
being shown, the net being finished
off with folds of silk, ratine or plain
cloth.
Many OF the new skirts are trim
med. Some show the tunic with m
der petticoat others have side trim
mings, and some have loops and but
tons.
The newest note is the use of vivid
colOrs In embroidery. Lace continues
to be used on everything in every
style End weight and every known
de.,ign.
suit coats are about &c to 2S inches
in length. The inclination Is toward
belt etfects-a sort of modified Rus
sian blouse, without the fullncss about
the waist or hips.
While the low side fastening is still
a noticeable feature Of many Of the
spring models the revers are so made
that they do not disclose as much of
the dress or waist as was formerly
the case.

Being too popular seems to bring
its own troubles. which I am afraid
you will have to settle for yourself
The best plan you can work is to get

them but make them have such a
good time that they cant help liking
you, and perhaps you can win the
girls back.

Hints and Advice

Kindly give me some idea as to how
to entertain them; some musical
game and contest. Also what shall

think the description of musical
party given below will assist you, and
as the guests will be little people
am sure that nothing could please
them more than to have ice cream
and cake.
A MUSICAL PARTY.
This party was given for a class of
young students about the age OF u.
First they played musical stage
coach" after the same fashion as We
all used to play it years ago. only
each child was given a musical term
and rose when his or her word was
mentioned and turned around. The
forfeits were redeemed by playing q
piece upon the piano.
Then they had a novel spelling
match upon the piano. The hostess
said the tones would spell words. any
one who could tell the tones In let
tiers was to do SO. writing down the
words upon slips Of paper. This was.
of course, invaluable as an ear test.
The tone combinations were played
very slowly and repeated several
times. The following were the words
spelled: Bag. abe. abed, bad. able.
ace, add, dad, bed. bead, age. be. aged,
beef, beg, ebb. added, flag. fed. fad,
deaf, fade. egg. cage. faded dab.
The prizes were candy boxes in the
shape of musical instruments. There
were ice cream and cookies for re.
freshments and to make fun the cook.
les were cut in letters. only the first
seven being used, and the children
had to tell the signature In sharps or
flats Of the key represented by the let
ter each took.
