her pale blonde locks was a

On the lapel Of her tailored
dark blue coat there was one
of the largest, creamiest gar
denias we have seen in long
time.
A. few moments later we
spied the able Director of the
Mint, Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross,
briskly walking along. Her
chesterfield coat was of bright
blue tweed. Her pumps and
hat were of a wee darker
shade; the hat one Of those
Breton sailors of shiny straw

tempting fruit across the front.

nEAR MRS. POST: We are not
engaged but hope to be some
time. However, for the present there
is, of course, no formality exacted of
my friends parents in showing any
courtesy toward mine. Nevertheless
he and I would like to have them
meet because each has heard much
about the other from us. Is there any
way you could suggest that we could
bring them together without having
any such meeting seem too obviously
prearranged?
tion-if you are not supposed to know
each other so very well-should come
from your mother rather than his,
since men who know young women
very slightly 60 costantly to their
houses, whereas q girl would 60 to q
mans house and meet his family only
when she knows him very well. The
best suggestion I can make to bring
your two unsuspecting parents to-
gether would be to ask your mother
whether she doesn't think it would be
very nice. since you all know Dick so
we'll, to invite his father and mother
sometime for Sunday night supper, or
on whatever occasion you think best.
Or maybe you meant nothing like this
at all. Maybe you were thinking
merely how you could introduce them
as though accidentally. The only
plan for this that I know of is to
choose some event in the community
to which you can both persuade your
parents to go at the same hour, which
you and he arrange.

DEAR MRS. POST: A dear friend
of mine announced her engage
ment not long ago and would like
very much to give q shower for her.
But the problem is that we have only
one friend in common, and yet I
would like to ask all the girls she had
at her engagement party, although
met them only then and hardly know
their names and where some of them
live. In the first place. is q shower
ever not a surprise, because my friend
will know If I ask her for all this in
formation?
Answer-Of course I don't know the
circumstances. But under usual ones
it would be entirely proper to invite a
few whom you do not know and who
are friends Of the bride-to-be, but to
invite such q majority of strangers to
you, is something that I think you
should perhaps consider. The best
way to proceed, in fact the only way,
would be to consult the one who you
know and then If she seems enthusi-
astic, to get the names of all the
brides friends from her.

found wise to surround the entire
flame with "horn" a material that was
pliable and easily wrought into
cylinder shape. In the thirteenth CEN
tury this lighting appliance" was Of
ficially named "lanthorn" after the
material used in its construction.
It has also been claimed that at
Pompeii and Herculaneum two cylin-
drical bronze lanthorns with orna-
mented pillars to which chains were
attached for carrying or hanging have
been discovered. Plates of horn sur
rounded the bronze lamp within, and
the cover or top was removable for
lighting, or for the escape of smoke.
The more artistically- minded me-
dieval craftsmen made the hanging
lanterns for lighting rooms of in
tricate ornamental metals, of which
iron and brasswork was most fire.
quently used. Silver and gold, were
however, sometimes employed and the
artificers in metal of the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries produced
exquisite work Of this kind.
Church towers, city gates, as well as
public buildings, were elaborately be-
decked with lanterns of every de-
scription and the prosperity of a
town was judged by the number Of
"lanthorns" that fiickered by night.
There are many magnificent examples
of these old lighting fixtures of that
period in European museums. and the
collection in London is considered one
of the most complete.
THE English excelled in lantern
making, and their ingenuity in
this line has been considered second
to that Of the Orients, who, as We
know, still depend to a surprising de-
gree on their well-styled paper Ian
terms for lighting mediums.
The only lamps, however, which the
colonists brought with them on the
Mayflower were iron saucers to hold
grease and any improvised wick. But
these we're quickly supplanted by Ian
terms. With the traditional back
ground of lantern craftsmanship Of
their ancestors, the early Americans
produced with their crude materials
and tools lighting fixtures We even
today gaze upon with wonder, when
We consider under what handicaps
they were made!
Like the lanterns of the thirteenth
century, the early American ones had
sides made of horn. Tale, bladder
and oiled paper was also used until
glass was introduced. The primitive
shape remains in the common square
