of this simple spray of mistletoe re

The apron consists of two straight

months to give him present on his

If you have known this young man
very well-that is, if you have seen him
once or twice week ever since you
first met hint would be proper TO
give him some impersonal gift like a
book or a box containing fifty Of his

it before putting it away or otherwise

Dip an old linen sheet in indigo, and
lot it dry. Put this in the bottom of
the chest and keep all your linens
wrapped in it. This will keep them
from following. You must have used
the wrong kind of soap, or had your
iron too hot or something of that kind
when YOU washed the scarf. for such
things always look better after they
have been washed. Do not starch any
of the linens until you are ready to

They Want Advice

know how we should invite them what

how to entertain them.

If your mothers will allow you to
have boys call and the boys ask if they
may, tell them you will be glad to see
them. Or say MARY is coming to my
house this evening. Don't you want to

You might talk little while. play cards

refreshments have lemonade or orange
