Old Fashion Courtesy and Calling Cards.

The size Of visiting cards varies from
year to year. but persons of good taste
make it a rule not to follow all of
fashions vagaries in this direction. Cards
of medium size and square ,effect-they
are somewhat longer from right to left
than from top to bottom-are much used
by fashionable women, those used by the
married women being somewhat larger
than those by the unmarried. Cards for
men are more slender, but the old mar
row slip once used by them is quite out
of date. The fashionable card for men
measures within fraction of 81 inches
size is perfectly suitable for women,
though, Of course, the squarer shape is
smarter.
Script and old English lettering are
used, but q plain Roman lettering gives
the best effect, and such plain, sound,
black lettering is always in vogue.
Bristol board in a pure white, with
the surface polished but not glazed
shapes the card. and except for the name
of the person and the house address,
there is no other engraving; so that those
who persist in adding a family crest or
any other ornamentation do not under
stand the snicest sides of this social
custom. Cards with beveled edges are
distinctly out Of date. and IL they are
gilded they express the height OF bad
taste.
There are absolute rules as to how the
name should be written upon visiting
card A lady's card bears the prefix
of Mrs. or Miss, and whether a married
woman's husband is a great doctor, an
eminent explorer. or the President Of
the United States she cannot share his
honors upon her card.
Even a woman doctor, or one who has
been ordained to preach the Gospel. would
do well to use only the name given her
with birth or marriage, for DR.. Mary this
and the Rev. Anna that always sounds
foolish to lay ears, and seems unsuited
to social purposes. But with the busi-
ness card, of course, it is another mat
ter; then the printed explanation of the
bearers business or calling takes on the
dignity Of affairs and Is necessary for
the furtherance Of them.
The ultra smart card of a married
woman gives the full Christian name and
the second one; thus, Mrs Henry Vain
right Lee. A widow may keep her dead
husbands name or use her own as she
pleases, but il there is a married son
with exactly the same name she must
add ST" to her card; for the daughter
in-law alone has the full right to be Mrs.
John Allison So-and-So. But as long as
her father-in-law is living the younger
woman can only be Mrs. John Allison,
jr.; and the same abbreviation which
marks her card must appear upon her
husbands.
Here are some important times when
the visiting card must positively be used:
With all frst calls upon a new resident
in a neighborhood; when there has been
a death in a family, when the words,
with sincerest sympathy" are added;
when a man sends flowers or candies to
a woman; when he calls upon one who
is not an old friend; when one is in
vited to a reception but cannot go, and
at all teas and receptions. As soon as
the word of family afiiction has been
received the card is sent to the house
by post With the words already indicated

EconomI1InE Fuel.

A properly tended furnace fire, fed with
good coal that is free of clinkers, ought
to last all winter. 1t needs feeding only
once in twelve hours, but you must re-
member never to put coal on q dull FIRE.
Open the draughts and let it burn
up clear and bright, then put on the
coal, keeping the draughts open until
you see tongues Of blue flame leaping
through, which shows that the gas is
ignited. Then shut down the dampers
and leave the fire to itself.
The drier the, coal is the faster il
burns, so it is a good plan to keep it
slightly damp. The coal dust, when
dampened and used sparingly as a top
dressing, prevents too rapid combustion,
and when once ignited makes a hot fire.

ing relatives in England a year or two
ago. There the householder even buys
coal dust which is called slack" for
topping OF his numerous coal fires.
For making a hot cooking fire he
buys coke, besides using over the care
fully sifted cinders. BY adopting those
little expedients a tremendous saving is
effected in the coal bills.
