Dear A. Leda:-
What is the correct way to en-
terrain young man when he makes
an afternoon calf" This all depends
on the ability of the hostess. You
have often heard the phrase, "over
the tea cups" Well that means five
o'clock tea. When that hour arrives.
serve your friend with some light
drink such as tea or lemonade A
few small cakes or crackers should

delightful chance to talk and get
acquainted, but II this becomes tire
some, try a little card game that
both know. II your caller prefers
to go out, have q croquet game, ten
mis-, or take a long country walk.
Afterwards bring him in to have
little tea" A very pleasant af-
ternoon may be passed this way.
Dear A. Leda -

hers from the table. This is usl-
ally Immediately. The "unfOlding''
consists in opening the napkin Just
once and laying lengthwise across
the lap. Nevor unfold a napkin en.

Dear A. Lcua:-
IF you are a guest at dinner and

asked Bobby.
"He thinks they're something

he has found out If the shots are
better"
The little coon persisted and
persisted. He tried to pick out
the shot out Of the pan. He kept
at it and kept at 1t. 1t seemed
as If he wouldn't give up.
Then couldn't stand it anv

What a disguised look that

Just then Bunny came running
up. He saw in a minute what
