These re- marks, tho | do try to be pachen riles me up some. | can think or more idees now than | get time to write, and there is other peple in this town, present compeny acksep- ted that don't never think of nothin’ or if they do, they are afrade to tell it for feer somebody else will lay clame to it. For instents, the other night ! went to the meetin in the big tent; | don’'t want to bother spellin the rame-—to hear that funny feller - and I aint a goin to try to spell his name ether. They was a feller set next to me, and it you'll beleave me he never laffed out loud onct. Fin- ally, 1 says to him, says I, “Why don’t you laff some?™ He says, “Wha! for?” 1 says, sa I, “Young man, ef fer no other reeson, you can laff, be- cause there is a feller up there, work- ing like a dog, trying to make yon Jaft.” He says, “Gettin® payed for it; ain’t he? 1 didu’t spend no more time talking to him, for I missed a joke as it was, and ain’t ever found out what it was, for Marthy aint no hand at remembering jokes Well, I got to thinkin of the feller that was tryin not to laff, this morn- ing, and 1 says to myself, says 1° “Aint he like some of the cityzens of this town?” says 1. You know, he is Mr. H. They is some peple in this town which thinks if a man is gettin payed, he hadn't ought to be helped along. Now, there is Mayver Clonts, who is tryin to get folks to keep the town cleen, there is you trying to get out a papper sech as we can all pint to with pride, there is Mr. Ad- ams .tryin to get up a first class metin for this town sech as will be a credit to the branes and feelins of the vicinity. And, there is other pe- ple 1 could name, tryin to do sech en- devors as is a benefit to everyboddy, and, they are all of them succeedin beyond there fondest drems, but that aint the pint. If a man is doin good work let us all help him all that lies in our power and not be always astin, “Ain’t he gettin’ payed?” If a man was strong as Samson, he could do a little more with somebody kelpin than he could by hisself. Aint that so, Mr. H? And even if a man is gettin payed, for the sake of the good work which he is doin and which we want to see succeed to the best of its ability, let us all dig in and help the good work along in every way big and little that presents it- self to our observin and anxshus eyes. You will allers notis that them fellers which keeps astin, “Ain’t de Reply to “Anxious.” Kindly publish in your valuable col- | umn 1f it is the girl's place to recog- nize a young man she has not met, who lives in the next house, it she has to meet him on the street every day. Will you also tell me where the napkin and fruit spoon are to be | placed on the table? It is always the place of the woman to show the first signs of recognition and I think it would be only polite for you to introduce yourself to the boy as his next door neighbor and speak when you meet him on the street. Then it would be his place to call upon you after that. Napkins are placed a bit to the left of the plate, and the fruit spoon may be piaced across the top of the plate or at the right hand side, with the cereal spoon. A Variety of Queries. Will you please answer these ques- tions for me? I will appreciate it very much, Is it customary for a young man to meet a girl's parents the first time he calls on her? How is the best way to treat a man that has gotten too famillar with & girl? How must a girl act to make boys like her? I am twenty-one and weigh 110 pounds. Do you think I'm the right weight for my age? W, W. w It is customary and polite for a man to meet the parents of a girl on the occasion of his first call. If a girl has permitted a man to be famillar it is ber duty to stop it and tell him why. If he does not respond to her request and behave himself as a gen- tleman should she must cut bis ac- quaintance entirely. The only safe rule is “hands off” and then there are no heart aches or regrets. An amiable, thoughtful girl is more than apt to have friends among both girls and boys. Your welght depends largely upon your height. I would rather be too slender than too stout. I should judge you are just about right. From “Two Country Girle.” I wonder if you couldn't help us, as you have helped others. We are country girls and not acquainted with social life in the city. We have invitations to an “At Home.” We would like to know what is expected of us to do, and what is an “At Home,” and the object? Do we remove our wraps? Is it a dress affair? And do they serve re- freshments? We do not want to ap- pear ignorant. I can and will help you most gladly. An “At Home” is not at all formida- ble and you will have no trouble. Madame Meni’s Advice and Suggestions wrap, retaining hat, fur neckplece, muff and gloves. Street suits with pretty waists or one-piece gowns are worn. Light refreshments are served. Cards are left on the tray, which is placed conveniently, or handed to the servant at the deor, who has a tray for the purpose. At very formal afairs a butler takes the card and announces your name as you enter the drawing room. You speak to your hostess and guests you may happen to know, then partake of refreshments and depart with or without saying adieu to the hostess and receiving party. Plans for a Party. We are planning on giving a party for about eight couples of young peo- ple, and would like to have you tell us some new way to entertain them. We do not wish to play cards or dance. Thanking you in advance for your kindness. “CHUMS.” As long as you do not play cards or dance I do not see much left besides guessing contests, music or charades. Perhaps some of the schemes outlined in today's department may help you, as they are for the special occasions that this month brings.

With the return to favor of the meny oldtime materials, such as broche velvets and golden woven tis- sues, there is the return to favor of Spanish lace. Many afternoon and evening toilettes, now being designed for the Casino on the Cote d'Asur, are showing graceful trimmings of heavily designed silk Spanish lace. Many Dalmatiques and clerical stoles are composed of the most beau- tiful lace. These long stoles fall in straight panel fashion down the front and back of the most gracefully draped robes. Fairy Jewelry, Exquisite In design. The gems look airy. They seem to have no support. They are lacy and supple in effect. Jewels need not be wholly expen-§ sive.

Fagoted White Bands. White organdie bands, with black organdie border, are smart and sim- ple. These borders may be any depth, They may be blind stitched on a fold, bound with black, or the hem may be | fagoted, In fagoting the bands are fmded and collar and band are both basted to paper, leaving about a quarter inch space between.

The latest method of introducing a bright note of color is to be found in the handkerchief of the moment. A lit- tle square of lawn, with a border in some bright tint, is tucked into the fastening of the tailormade. Great care Is necessary, however, to strike the correct note. The little accessary must match some part of the tollette.
