not are sufficient reflection on the per-
son, without the additional emphasis
which an apology is bound to give. Cir
cumstances which could not be prevent
ed sometimes require an explanation,
but never an apology.
Perhaps the worst type of chronic
apologizers are the persons who are
eternally deprecating the value of their
gifts to other people Besides being a
bore, this is extremely bad taste, for it
casts serious reflection on the person to
whom the gift is proffered. Have you
ever had person say something like
this to you? Here's the candlestick
which I got for Mildred's wedding pres
ent. Do you think it's pretty? Of
course l could have got nicer one if
I'd felt like paying more money, but l
thought this was good enough. 1t really
isn't very attractive, is it? But it's got
to do" l wonder how Mildred" would
feel if she knew that was the spirit in
which the gift was proffered, and yet it
is just that feeling which animates a
great many people when they are max
ing presents to others.

ETIQUETTE OF CALLING

spontaneous goodwill and friendship.
But one that is made long after the ex-
piration of the customary number OF
days is open to the suspicion of having
been made matter of social necessity. /.
The matter of leaving cards is one Of
the purely technical points of calling eti-
quette, and one which varies widely in
different communities and under differ
ent circumstances. For the first year aft
er her marriage, bride may use cards
engraved "Mr. and Mrs. s." for dur
ing that time she is still supposed to be
paying off obligations incurred in both
their names. A matron leaves two Of
her husbands cards and one of her
own with her hostess, unless there IS an
unmarried daughter in the house who
bears part of the burden of entertaining.
when she substitutes two of her own and
one of her husbands. During the 6rst
year following her bereavement q wo-
man in mourning does not use any cards
at all, as she may receive but not return
calls. After the expiration Of the year,
cards with black border of any desired
width are used during the conventional
period of mourning, usually an addition
al year.
A young girl, even though she may
still be in school, must have her cards
engraved with Miss" followed b. her
name. On the other hand, q young I'M
married man, unless he has some profes-
sional title, has simply his full name en-
graved on his calling cards.

of her dsobedience.

TlAVE you ever known person
Hill who is continually apologizing?
N If you have, you know what a
bore the contracting of such a
habit may become And it grows on a
person alarmingly; one apology adds to
itself others as SNOWFALL adds mate
rial in rolling down hill. Of course,
there are some apologies demanded by
the amenities of life, but there are a
great many unfortunate circumstances
and happenings which would appear
much less glaringly faulty if attention
were not called to them by an elaborate
apology.
There is the person, for instance, who
is continually calling attention to small
discrepancies in her household manage
ment. If she is entertaining at luncheon
or dinner, she is sure to apologize for
the food and the service, even though
in her secret heart of hearts she is ex-
tremely proud of the same. By so doing
she not only emphasizes minor defects
which might otherwise have passed I'M
noticed, but she brands herself as a
careless, inefficient and inconsiderate
hostess for not having righted the diff
6culty before the arrival of her guests.
If the dinner is late it is much better to
ignore the omission, and fill in the inter-
vening time with pleasant talk, rather
than fuss and fume and make the guests
extremely uncomfortable because of the
necessity to which they are put to assure
their hostess that such accidents are
sure to happen in the best regulated of
households" If the coffee is cold, it is
better to ignore the fact than to make
it all the more apparent by apologizing
for it, for really, trying though it may
seem, the temperature of cup of cof-
fee is not vital matter.
Then, there is another sort of person
who is continually apologizing for her
appearance. Such procedure is worse
than useless, for one takes it for granted
that person is always as attractively
dressed as circumstances will permit,
and to assume an attitude of response
bility for circumstances which are real
ly outside ones control is ridiculous. On
the other hand, if the untidy appearance
or the bedraggled hair or the mussed
shirtwaist are matters which could have

HSSlFTEN you have heard women re-
mark on occasions when they are
~ asked whether or not they have
called upon some new arrival in
the community. ooh, I'd just love to
call on her! But, my dear, I've heard
that she is so terribly formal and stands
on ceremony that don't dare call for
fear will commit some frightful faux
pas" And yet the etiquette of calling is
not nearly so complicated as it is popu-
larly conserved.
Formal calling, except in the most
conventional society and diplomatic cir
cles, is rather going out of vogue. 1t is
largely being displaced by the charming
custom adopted by so many hostesses of
serving informal afternoon tea to call
ers. This has dispensed with great
deal of the purely formal technical
points which have heretofore been con-
sidered essential to the etiquette of call
ing, and has made the time-honored in
stitution a much more friendly affair.
Purely formal calls are usually paid
between three and half past FIVE in the
afternoon; it is matter of judgment on
the part of the caller as to exactly what
time she shall spend with her hostess. It
is safe rule to follow, however, not to
spend more than half an hour. Indeed.
it is not always necessary to tarry any
length of time at all, or even to alight
from ones motor or carriage. Cards
may simply be sent in by footman or
maid
Calling in small towns or suburban
communities is much more matter of
real friendship-forming pleasure than
the conventional custom of large cities.
A new arrival is called upon not so much
out of conventional courtesy, but from
a real desire to make her acquaintance.
In the case of a bride or newcomer,
the calls paid them by their neighbors
are usually returned Immediately, or
within the expiration of fortnight at
the latest.
In the case of a matron who has
moved into new neighborhood, it is
proper that the residents and neighbors
call on her to extend their welcome and
the various courtesies current among
neighbors. Some people are deplorably
lax in this same particular. While they
call on new arrivals eventually, the tar
dir1ess with which their courtesy is ex-
tended deprives it of half its spon-
taniety and good will. The woman who
recognizes the virtue which lies in do
ing it now" in the social sense, is the
one who may feel the complete satisfac-
ton of having done herself justice in
the payment Of her social obligations.
A call that is well-timed and appropri-
ate in its natureis always appreciated by

A red color; the fat should be
white, for when it is of deep
yellow color, the meat is seldom very
good. The grain of COW beef is closer,
the fat winter, and the lean not as red
as that of OK beef. When you see beef
of which the fat is hard and skinny, and
the lean of deep red, you may be sure
that it is of an inferior kind; and when
the meat is old, you may know it by

prime until the sheep is about five years

Lamb will not keep long after it is
killed. 1t can be discovered by the neck
end in the forequarter if it has been
killed too lang, the veins in the neck be-
ing blush when the meat is fresh, but
green when it is STALE In the hind
quarter, the same discovery may be
made by examining the kidney and the
knuckle, for the former has slight
smell, and the knuclkle is not firm when
the meat has been killed too long.
Pork should have a thin rind; and
when it is fresh the meat is smooth and
cool; but when it looks fabby, and is
clammy to the touch, it is not good; and
pork, above all meat, is disagreeable
when it is stale. If you perceive many
enlarged glands, or, as they arc usually
termed, kernels, in the fat of the pork,
you may conclude that the pork can not
be wholesome.
Bacon, like pork, should have thin
rind; the fat should be firm, and in
clined to reddish color; and the lean
should firmly adhere to the bone, and
have no yellow strcaks in it. When you
are purchasing ham, have knife
stuck into it to the bone, which, if the
ham be we'll cured, may be drawn out
without having any of the meat adher-
ing to it, and without your perceiving
any disagreeable smell. A short ham is
considered the best.

1t is only when the babys cries as well
