Stains on linen, like the old
moral about stains on character,
follow habits. Even a good and
wise habit, such as the present
one of taking cod liver oil, may
result in a stain that is difficult
to remove. Those who have
young children on whose clothes
the oil is often spilled in the
process of administering the dose
have found that this oil is not as
easily washed out as some other
oils. The stain often escapes
notice when the clothes are put
in the wash since cod liver oil
stains are light in color and al
most invisible while fresh. How
ever, heat turns them brown and
makes them more difficult to re-
move.
Unlaundered cod liver oil stains
can be removed from all ma
terials, white and colored, by rub.

The visiting Art

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Will you please give me some
advice on the Mse of calling
cards; and callingi There are a
number Of things which I should
like to know.
/. In making q first call on a
next door neighbor. whom I have
previously known, should leave
my card?
2. In returning calls, wfen
cards have been left at my home,
should i always leave my card?
3. If lady calls when / am
not at home and does not leave
her card, but sends word to me
by a friend that she has called,
is it my place to call upon her or
should wait until she calls
again?
4. When returning call, IL
am introduced to another lady
who is visiting or making her
home with the family, should !
leave a. card for her also2
s.. When there has been a be-
reavement in ones family. is one
expected to return all the calls
6. When one has been invited
to card or tea party given in
honor Of a house guest. is it the
correct thing to do to make g.
party call later, If the one Civ
ing the party is an old friend?
Should leave cards for both?
How long a time should be al
lowed to elapse before making
this call?
4. Is there any great breach of
etiquette made IL wait four or
five weeks to return first call?
8. Are cards left more than
once when calls are made on
friends?

should one feel obliged to make
party calls? M. N. G.
/. Yes.
2. Yes.
8. She herself should have given,
or should give you, some indica-
ton that she had called. How
ever. il you enjoy knowing her,
don't stand on such superficial
fofmaIity, but return her call.
4. Yes. The rule is that a
woman leaves one Of her cards
for the hostess of the home in
which she is calling, and one for
each of the other women who live
there or are visiting there. For
instance, one for an older daugh-
ter, old enough, that is, to receive
formal calls, ''out in society" as
the expression is, and one for a
visitor in that home. But now
adays the woman making the calls
does not leave more than three
of her cards.

cleaning a hand mirror of this
type is to use chamois and clean

Tor the mother, she willingly as

On this occasion the guests
were 16-year-old boys-just the
age when youngsters are sensi-

wildered about life in general.
When the visitors came into the
dining room Mrs. Ayers greeted
them cordially but without ef-
fusion. After they were seated
she made q few casual remarks
that nut them at their ease. Some
thing funny that she said caused
the young people to laugh; and
that helped dispel their embar-
fassn1ent.
Through the first part Of the
meal she kept up a cheerful, easy
sort OF conservation. She said
nothing personal TO or ABOUT
Lucian, Edith or their guests. II
Il rather common for mother
to begin talking about her own
children when their friends are

they were safely launched she
