The Right Thing
at the Right Time
By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE

require any refreshments for the eve
ming call; but, especially if the young
man has expressed his intentions of
coming a certain night, or if there are
to be several callers, plan some light
refreshments. In some families it is
customary to have some sort of light
refreShment toward the close of the
evening anyway, and then it is hos
pitable to ask any callers who happen
to be present to partake.
Now, here is something that every
young man ought to bear in mind, and
that is that his leave-taking should be
brief. Having risen to depart, he
should show decision of character and
poise enough after bidding his hostess
and others who may be present good
night, to go away at once, but often
extremely young mer, though they may
be willing enough to leave. seem to be
quite unable to do this. Of course this
dallying is often the fault of those on
whom they are calling, who open new
topics of conversation just as they are
departing, and make it difficult for
them to leave at once. This also shows
a certain lack of social poise.

Anon.
TN A MOTION picture recently pro-
i duced, the charming young actress
impersonating a New York society girl
receiving the call of one of her men
friends takes the callers hat and coat
from him as he enters the hall. Now
as a matter of fact no girl who knew
social usage would do that. Of course,
if the man were aged or otherwise too
feeble to dispose of them himself, she
would. Otherwise, if there is no serv-
ant at hand to take them from him, the
young woman would simply show him
where the hatrack was located.

by his hostess to remove his coat. Ii
a maid comes to the door he should re-
move his coat in the hall after he has
taken off his hat and give them to the
maid or hang them on the hatrack be-
fore going into the reception room or
drawing room. If the young woman
receives caller in sitting room
above stairs he should leave his outer
things in the downstairs hall before as

thing of that sort, and the young man
did not take seat until he had been
so requested. Now, however, we do
not stand on such formality. The young
man takes seat after his hostess has
been seated, but he avoids taking the
most comfortable chair in the room.
The question is often asked by young
women as to whether young men
should be given refreshments when
they call. If they come in the after

to get into any trouble, Mr.. Coon
climbed in the pantry window.
He was sitting on the sill listening,
when the moonlight streaming in
showed him two empty shelves.
Mr.. Coon stared, then he scratched
his head, and then he listened, and
then he looked at the tin plate.
BY that time he had come to the
conclusion that Reddy Fox had played
trick on him.
Whether Reddy Fox ever knew who
was to blame for his fright Mr.. Coon
never knew, but when one day Reddy
stopped to speak to Mr.. Coon and
found him eating his dinner from a
tin plate he did not let on he noticed
1t.
1t was long time after this that
Mr.. Coon discovered about the flashes.
He was eating his dinner, and having
made his tin plate very clean by eat
ing all that was on it. he picked it up,
and the sun striking it made little
flashes round the room.
"Oh," said Mr. Coon, shat was the
way he did it. Well, don't see but
what 1 got the best of it,. for have

SOPHIA.

TRE wisest of feminine names is
i Sophy, or Sophia, as she should
be called properly. 1t is perhaps the
only name which is closely associated
with Divine attributes, since its origin
dates back to the dedication of that
most gorgeous of Christian temples by
which Justinian declared that he had
surpassed Solomon. 1t was called
st. Sophia (the holy wisdom of God).
According to the preacher" in the
Book of Eccesiasticus. Wisdom is the
mother of fair Love, Hope and holy
Fear, and this idea is said to have
suggested the allegory of the holy
woman with three daughters so called,
and in compliment to the newly built
church, the. niece of Justinian's en-
press. afterward wife Of his nephew
and successor, was called Sophia. The
name straightway became fashionable
among the daughters of the nobility
of Greece and was carried, through
S,avonians, to Germany.
History records a Hungarian prin-
cess Of that name in 919, and an
other, daughter Of King Geysa, mar

use of the name throughout SaXony.

HOW DO YOU SAY IT?
By c. N. LURE
Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
"HEALTHY" AND "HEALTHFUL."

THERE is a distinct difference in
l. the meaning Of these two words
and the distinction should be made by
all who desire to speak and write cor
rectly. Healthy" means possessing or
enjoying health or it's effects; as, "a
healthy person" or "a healthy condi-
ton" But "healthful' means promot-
ing health. or adding to it, or preserv-
ing it. Thus, we say that healthy
person is the product of healthful sur
roundings. 1.-THE finances of the coun-
try are in a healthy condition"
"Healthful living is conducive to
length of life.'
A correspondent of a newspaper
wrote, "Are plants in sleeping room
healthy?" 1t was evident that she
meant, Does the presence of plants
in a sleeping room affect the health
of the occupant of the room?' OF
course, plant, in sleeping room or
elsewhere, may or may not be healthy !;
and its presence in a room may or
may not be healthful for the human
occupant.
