Messrs. J. P. Cantwell and Caleb

obtaining positions in the Maryland

TT IS RIGHT FOR HER TO KNOW

Dear Miss Libbey:- r & Kindly advise the following: 1. Is it polite for a young man at door to take girls arm in the evening? ?. Is a girl to take a young mans arm ur-, less engaged? 3. Do young men think more of girl if she refuses to kiss them? 4. How can you entertain friends if you do not play the piano2 5 Should parents remain on porch if company. calls, or excuse themselves and go somewhere? 6. Do you take company in house or remain on porch in summer? '. Is 1T years too young to keep steady company? Thanks for advice.
 R. H.
 1. It is not polite, as it's not neces- sary, to take a girls arm at the door evenings. ?. A girl might take his arm if out where walking was poor and his arm is offered her. B. By all means refuse a kiss to a young man and he will think more of you. 4. En-. tertain him by pleasant bits of stories, light laughter, good listening, without a piano. g. Parents remain on porch a while, getting acquainted with conn pany, then suit each other about going. 6. Company in summer may like porch if cooler than house when first coming. '. aeventeen is very young to keep steady company. Two years later is better.

Hush, little Sister Neat-of-Heart Your fretting speedily, Lay off your shining shoes of care And barefoot come with me. know a, place of dreaming's end
 Where we can jouyous stand And gay1y watch the Tasks troop by, Nor ever lift hand! There waits for us a little House With careless ,wide-fung door, Its shabby roof droops down with age, Uneven runs the floor. I love each window streaked, with
 rain,
 The crooked path I bless, Where weeds push boldly through the
 cracks
 In sweet untidiness. And pleasant folk, unmended, sit Amid the drifting dust, Who laughh to see the! brass grow&din And the latch rich with rust. Oh, little 4House-of-D Dreams unswept Day after Idle day, From you the great, white, -cleans

 next meeting,
 1 How hard he fought, an outward calm, to gain,
 Now will he see eyond the friendly greeting,
 How her. true heart still yearns to him through pain.'' Why is it that usually the girls of good dispositions, kindliness of heart, and who have had little, if any expert
 ence in love, are very easily impressed by handsome strangers whom they meet? Life to them seemed dull and commonplace among the visitors they had seen in a short year or so of city companionship Listlessly and plan ming for a, change, girls wend their way back to the old farmhouses for a short stay, many of them complaining
 to their country cousins that they have
 mixed and mingled with quite num- none of the former appealed to their | liking.
 Why it is so no one could tell just at the time. But when a handsome stran-
 ger chanced to cross the threshold
 where a fair young girl was stopping,
 To! the dull scene changed like magic
 into rosy glowing. Her eyes rest upon a handsome stranger in vaccination.
 She can scarcely define why he seems
 different from any one else she has ever met, although, if he could, he did not seem to return the deep in terest which, manlike, he found she held for him.
 Handsome strangers are used to hay ing a. certain homage paid them, ow- ing to the fact that they are inclined to put their best foot forward, are merry and agreeable, given to compn- menting and showing attention in a clever way, which is not understood
 by all girls to be hattery, the same for one and all. Handsome strangers who
 arrive at places for pastime can often charm those whom they come in con | tact with by telling good, amusing sto- ries.
 They have one advanta age-they have
 made study of just the type of girls who usually take to them Generally the unassuming, hea1thy-hearted girls who are opposite in looks and at fractions to their own waste their l time and hopes on the handsome stranger. If these smen are conceited persons, it is easy for them to start . new flame in the breast of another spright1y girIish adorer, for they do
 not last long as wooers for any one l girl.
 l Quite a few handsome strangers are
 not apt to take well among plain, thriving young men who have lived in the same town since they were knee high With the latter Drains and isteauy puslnSSS appHcaCon count more lthan masculine. vain good looks It is ] an eyeopener to these plain men to irealize that some very intelligent young women are not suited enough to
 marry a man who has not what they 1 call a "genteeI businessg' So far as the l successful older. ones tell us, "a gen. 1 teel business is something of a show
 place, to which a man goes at 10 o'clock l in the morning and from which he
 rides home at or in the afternoon getting an amount of money for doing little"
 1 My dear girls, when you think of
 getting married, my advice is to choose
 one whose habits and plain Hkings will 1 give yous happy homo, where jea1- ] eusy Is not, but love is to preside in. l it. With such a husband no shadow
 will cross your hearthstone. Know that handsome men live in a world of their
 own.

LITTLE GIRLS EMPIRE GOWN.

The Empire and the kimono effects are pleasingly combined in tnis little nfghtie of white nainsook. High yoked effects are shown in many of the latest gowns. being a pleasing change from the usual straight lines. Cotton crepes are in great demand for under wear. partly because they look well and partly because they launder s~ easily, requiring no ironing. Hem. stitching and fri1ls of self material are the only trimmings this model. which only requires 2ss yards 36-inch material to develop in medium size.
 There are so few parts to the pat- tern that it will be an easy matter to properly place them on the gooda. This Is, of course, folded so that eac'ss front CA) and back co are marked hJ triple TIT" perforations to indicats that they should be laid on the length wise fold of the nainsook. The tiny little piecing that will be required for either side of the front is laid along the selyage edge.
 The sleeve, which Is short and iG shaped to" run into the neckline, is lajd on a lengthwise thread of the material between the front and back sections.
 For everyday" gowns there is notR@ ing prettier than crepe. and this ma teriaI cannot be too highly recon mended Gowns made of crepe have as little trimming as possible to faciii- tate hand laundering. Feathersitch- ing, picoting or hennstitching in colos marks distinction in many sinla's nightgowns, while net, colored baH&fS and lowered materials are used fss' castings. through which a palc-colofs4 s4 ribbon is run.
