There are many things, however,
for which no printed rules are giyen

The woman who spends few days
or a few weeks alone at g. hotel may
entertain her friends as much as she
pleases without exciting comment.
However, If she enjoys the uses Of q
private sitting room end If she en-
tertains a masculine friend or rela-
tive as her caller or as her guest at
dinner, she must not invite him into
her private sitting room unless she
il provided for the occasion with a
chaperon.
If she is invited out to dine, dance,
or 20 to the theater, she should make
1t a point to return to her rooms, If
possible before IL o'clock.
When dining alone at her hotel
she should order her meal at least by

city, will find herself unpleasantly
conspicuous. Breakfast, luncheon,
and afternoon tea can, however, be
taken at any hour that suits her con-
venience.
The women guest, when eating
alone. should not order wine nor as

While the tearooms. writing rooms,

quite at her disposal, to be used as

auire the habit of sitting alone and
idle in these public apartments.
\ Into a quiet corner of some semi
private drawing room she may go to
read her letters. her paper. or her
book for a half hour after dinner,
but the overcrowded reception rooms,
the busy corridors, and the noisy ro-

diners linger over their coffee or

the lone woman in big city hotel.
The woman who stops alone at a

II will be well, in conclusion, to M
phasize the fact that the noises made
by insects are strictly instrumental
No insect has a "volce'-that Is, the
power of producing sounds by the ex'
pulslon Of air from the lungs through
the throat and mouth, Indeed. Insects
have no lungs, nor do they use their
mouths for breathing. on the o n
trary, they take In atmospheric air

along the sides OF the body. These
openings are called "splracles." They

necessary for the discharge OF the va
rious vital processes. Just within each
splracle there Is an ingenious little
valve which In opened and closed by a
muscular contraction. The circulation
Of air, to and fro through the spir'
acles, Is kept up by a constant palpi'

In a wasp that Is RECALLING itself In

the case OF a alternating queen wasp,

The nearest approach to a true

II may be unable to agitate It's wings.
