Sending Invitations

r.
nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
u I am a girl Of sixteen and
know great many nice boys.
Would it be proper to ask any Of
them to my home to spend an
evening? If 50, what would be
the friendliest way to extend my
invitation?
As / have know the boys Tor a
long time I prefer the invitation
to be delivered in person rather
than written. Can you help me?
L. ]. s.
II SHALL be very happy to help

For you to ask any of these
boys to come to see you at your
home would be most proper and
friendly, and, indeed, it shows a
fine, sure instinct in you to wish
to extend the hospitality" Of
your home to these friends. There
are few things, think, so indica-
tive Of the fact that a girl has
had a fine upbringing and that
she has been given an apprecia-
ton of the value Of her home,
than this wish to share the hap
piness and welcoming Of that
home with her friends, especially
with her men friends. Such an
invitation from her creates a
background for her at once, and
gives her a place and status in
the social world, no matter how
simple or elaborate her world is.

this more, so that they would

family and sheds it's light for all
who win regard its bright invita-
ton and message.
In inviting these friends use
the simplest, friendliest, most
natural form of invitation: "I
should love to have you come to
my home some evening. Would
you like to? Mother has asked
me to have you come and she is
all ready to give you a most
friendly welcome. Do call me I'D
when you can come-will your"

She was alone here-she and the
dear, quiet one who smiled and
held a flower in her chill, white
hands.

the first to pierce Nora Lees

Nora Lee stood at the gate, re-

service. She looked up at the
house and turned from it with
, a beaten despair.
Gone! Laid away. Even the
still face, with its charmed, nys-

at last on unutterable beauty,
was shut from her.
