left old ties and friends behind her
and would like to take up new ones.
In Washington, official etiquette re-
quires that the newly arrived officials
pay their respects by calling first at
the White House, then upon the vice
president and other persons in high
position, rather than wait for these
important persons to call upon them
custom that time has proved to be
the best one.
If a person moves from one neigh
borhOod to another in the same city or
tOwn-what about first calls then
This is question that is sometimes
asked. In most cases there would be
little excuse or necessity for the older
residents in the new neighborhOod to
make any calls, because the chances
are that the newcomer then has ac-
quaintances a-plenty in the same
town. 1t would sometimes seem lit
tie intrusive for an old resident to take
this opportunity to know person with
whom she might not ever have had an
opportunity of exchanging calls in any
other way. In such case, then, ii
would be somewhat better to wait I'M
til the newcomer in the neighborhood
asks you to call before you do so. At
any rate, you are not obliged in any
way TO do so. In fact, even when a
total stranger comes to live near you,
there is no social necessity for making
a first call. In large cities one almost
never makes first call of this sort,
simply because newcomer is a stran-
ger. Even in small towns it is not
matter of social obligation. However,
1t is necessary to return the first call
within ten days. whether the recipient
of 1t wishes to continue the acquaint-
ance or not. Later calls need not be
returned, but it is extremely rude not
TO acknowledge that first call

CLEVER MIR. RABBIT

TT WAS the first snow of the winter,
and Mr.. Fox knew very we'll that
his tracks would be plainly seen by
Mr.. Dog or Mr. Man, so he had to
set his wits at work to think out a
plan to throw them off his track.
There was an old sled lying ut the
side of the road by the woods and
while he was thinking Mr. Fox spied
1t and at once ne had an idea he would
take Jack Rabbit and Mrs. Rabbit and
all the little Rabbits for a sleigh ride
over near the farm, then he would
dump them all off the sled and when
they walked back, of course, their
tracks would show on the snow.
He would be careful to step in his
own tracks when he went home, so no
one would notice them. and Jack Rab-

PEHIND almost all our modern
- rules of etiquette there is a basis
of common sense. Sometimes it is
hard to see; but usually, if you delved
deep enough, you would see that the
way laid down by that particular rule
was really the most convenient.
The rules of etiquette for first calls
are quite clearly rules of convenience.
Thus the old resident calls upon the
newcomer because it is her place, as
it were, to extend the courtesies and
hospitality of the neighborhood to the
newcomer. The newcomer would feel
timid at introducing herself to the
drawing rooms of people who have
lived so much longer in neighbor-
hood, but the very fact that a person
has come to live in a new neighbor-
hood is usually Indicative that she has

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles
of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
kiimer & Co., Binghamton. n. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adyertisemen

trip from the rural calm of Los An.

seriously these days in his gray and

He had but newly come from the

Walking across the velvet carpet in

considered the question.
