The Right Thing
at the Right Time
By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE

Remember that while YOU are the
guest Of the family you should show
many little courteous attentions to the
women Of that family. If there are
young daughters it would be decidedly
rude to devote yourself markedly 10
some other young woman whom YOU
perhaps might feel more Interested in
than In the young women Of the family
where you are visiting.
Remember that il is just as inn
portant and necessary for the young
man to write n bread-and-butter letter
to his hostess as it Is for young
woman to do. This letter should be
written within one or two days of your
departure. 4 married man may leave
this 10 his wife To attend to but the
unmarried man must write for him
self. even though perhaps Ne has a
sister who has been guest of the
same household and Is willing to in
clude his expression of gratitude in
her note.

KTARCIA has an ancient origin. In
N early Rome there was famous
gems of Sabine origin which
gave king to Rome and was called
Martius. Martius in turn is said to
come from Marcus, name about
which there is much contention
among etymologists. However, the
consensus of opinion seems to be that
1t was derived from Mars. the war
god, and one of the chief of the old
Latin deities.
The daughters of the Martius fam
lily were called Marcia. Another
spelling was MARSHA. Reaching France,
the name became Marcie and of late
years when Marcia returned to vogue
she was used as the feminine of
Mark.
Martina is another form of Marcia.

CTRICTLY speaking the invitation

guest of household should come
from the mother or wife, or whoever
acts as hostess of that household
Actually one young man often invites
chum of his to be guest for n
day or two, and the mother does not
send the letter Of invitation that the
strictcst good form would demand.
There is no great crime in this, only
the young man who writes the invita-
ton should word ii so rs to make 1t
evident that his mother extends the
hospitality, and in answering the in
vitation the one invited should be sure
to bear this fact in mind and whether
he has met the hostess-to-be or not
he should express his gratitude to her
for her kindness in wishing him to be
a guest.
If you have visited in the house be-
fore 1t is courteous to take to your
hostess, or have sent, so that 1t reaches
her shortly before you do with your
card enclosed, few flowers or some
bonbOns.
Never smoke without gaining per
mission of your hostess. If there are
no other smokers in the family do not
ask for permission.
If you see that others make n hablt
of smoking in the house then you ma,
ask for permission to smoke even
though none Of the others are smoking
at the time.
Do not plan to accept outside in

you are a guest without consulting
your hostess. She may have some
thing arranged for the same day and
hour. If you are to have very i'm

cannot be broken during your visit
you should make the fact known at

HOME HEATING PLANTS.

THE first attempt to heat houses
by hot air was probably made
by Benjamin Franklin. The first
hot-air furnace was built at Worces-
ter, Mass, in 1885. Heating by hot
water is Of great antiquity, the Ro.
mans having used this method in their
great baths. In 1777 NJ. Bounemain
proposed this method for heating the
hothouses in the Jardin des Plantes,
Paris. The first idea of heating by
steam was introduced in England in
the Eighteenth century by William
Cook of Manchester.
