WORST SOCIAL REEF
BREAKING OF ENGAGEMENTS is
FATAL TO SUCCESS.
Young Woman Should Net Carelcssly
Accept Invitation and Then, Pre-
ferring Something Else, Dis
appoint Her Hostess.

There are many small and unseen
reefs upon which the girl seeking
social success may come to grief, and
one OF the most dangerous is that OF
broken social engagements.
In the present day old-fashioned
courtesy and consideration seem to be
asleep, or else to have left society en-.
tirely. The modern hostess only TOO
frequently receives q telephone mes
sage from some guest at the last mo-
ment saying, without the least COM
junction. so sorry, but 1t is impossi
bie."
AS rule this sort of thing Is mex
eusabe. or course, conditions may
arise under which nothing else can
be done, but the girl who usually
sends a message of this kind is of the
selfish type and rarely succeeds in at
tanning popularity She is thinking
more of her own caprice than OF her
hostess.
1t is not an easy matter to f1ll In at
dinner or luncheon or bridge. No mat
ter how well poised a hostess may be,
a disappointment of this kind Is upset
ting, and the selfish or thoughtless
girl who is the occasion Of her embar-
rassment is apt to have black mark
against her name in that particular
hostess's mind.
The trouble Is that the girl OF to-day
is too careless In her acceptance or
invitations. On the spur of the mo-
ment she accepts, and then frequently
decides that the whole thing is bore,
or something else comes up that she
prefers doing, and she finally ends BY
declining the invitation at the last mo-
ment, thus arousing an antagonism
that can not help but handicap her
in her social career,
II IL simple matter to decline in
the first place. A declination of this
sort hostess has no right to resent,
but once her list is closed 1t is anoth-
err matter.
A young girl recently remarked that
she accepted every invitation which
came to her, then picked those she
preferred. throwing over the others.
This sounds well, but sooner or later
1t will result in unpopularity. Neither
courtesy nor consideration justifes
such course.
Naturally. one has preferences.
There are certain things one would
rather do. A girl should make up her
mind what these things are and ac-
cept them before everything else, but
she should not play fast and loose
with invitations she does not want.
Let her decline them definitely the
moment they are presented to her,
and abe will find she makes fewer
enemies. while at the same time she
pleases herself.
One hears the impulsIve girl say,
"0h, that Is all very well. but what
can one do in this day when people
call you on the telephone and fire in
vitations at you point-blank and your
mind Is as destitute of excuses as an
empty bird cage?"
The best advice for this situation Is
10 learn to think quickly and decline
definitely IL 1t Is a thing one does not
care to do. One can always have an
engagement to sit at home and cult
vate ones mind.

Flower Holder.

The frogs and turtles OF Japanese
manufacture that are tucked into the
bottom OF vases or jardinieres have
been outclassed by a holder even more
convenient II ia made VI curls and
twists Of lead so pliable that II can be
bent into any position
With this arrangement half dozen
flowers and bit of green will present
a SNOWY appearance. One housewife
SAYS she makes good showing with
even three carnations or roses for her
winter dining table.
The advantage Of this new holder is
that 1t can be used In any sized bowel
or Jar, as 1t expands or contracts with
equal ease II makes useful and
comparatively cheap gift or prize.

Delta, Colo.-Standing in natural

body of Frank Mitchell, aged forty
two, well-to-do ranchman, was found
with the upper portion of his head
blown away. His rifle was entangled
in the fence and the barrel pointed di-
rectly toward his head.
Apparently Mitchell had attempted
to climb through the fence, when the
trigger of the gun caught in the wire,
and the gun was discharged, the bull
let entering the base of the skull back
of the right ear. At first it was feared
Mitchell was a victim of foul play. but

Mitchell and a brother occupied a
lonely cabin on the Mitchell ranch. He
saw a coyote prowling about his barn,
took his rifle and gave chase, follow

1t just before he climbed through the
fence. The dead coyote was lying
within a few feet of Mitchell's body.
