The vell should be as nearly as possible the shade of the hat's brim and its trim- mings, and In this instance not an elaborate detail of the costume. Lace vells, on the contrary, may be made a prominent feature of the afternoon’s reception costume with which they are usually worn and the wisest choice In these is a black and white chantilly. For motoring the newest and smartest thing in veilings is chif- fon, with an embroldered border done in wools of contrasting color like green on navy, brown on tan or black on purple. Cretonne Covered Frames. Cretonne covered picture frames for bedrooms are easily made. When se- lecting your cretonne purchase a piece with colors that harmonize with the furnishings in your bedroom. SEASON OF THE RHINESTONE Worth Has Been Primarily Respone oible for the Great Popularity Accorded This Fashion, It would be difficult to estimate the amount of money put into German rhinestones for this season’s use on gowns. Worth was a leader in the lavish display of these crystals during September in Paris, and the Ameril cans have mot only brought back gowns that are heavy with these glit- tering stones, but the manufacturers bave brought back ornaments in most Ingenious shapes made of the strass stones and ask a high price for them. There are bowknots made entirely of the stones, with danglers from the edges; these are applied to the front of a bodice and sometimes they catch the drapery at the left knee. The short sleeves are made entirely of the stones strung on supple thread; gir- dles, wings and medallions are built up of them ready to put at any spot where they will do the most good. Fringes of rhinestones, which are most expensive, are pretty at the edges of bodices and sleeves, and short panels of them are used for the skirt and the back of bodices. So-called necklaces of rhinestones pet in silver are sold by the yard to outline the edge of the decolletage, and unless you have seen this you cannot image how attractive it is un- der the V-shaped decolletage. TTE AT THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAKELAND, FLA.,, FEBRUARY Perplexing Question. I am coming to you for advice, as you have helped so many. When a girl is out riding with a boy and on arriving home she does not ask him to call again, would you think he would take it as a turn-down? 8he does not wish him to consider it that way. If you think he did what should she do to make it up and what would be proper to say next time? When a girl and boy are at a party together whose place is it to mention going home? Do I write well? “GREENY.” 1t the boy who took you driving does not come to see you within a reason- able time, when you see him you may ask why he has not come, and so fix up matters. It is the girl's place to suggest when it is time to go home, but & man may also suggest the hour for going with perfect propriety. You write fairly well; practice makes per- fect, you know. Congratulations and Best Wishes. Madame Merri: Does not soclety decree that when a man and girl are engaged that the man alone should be congratulated; it being considered that he is the one favored; but is it such an “awful breach” to congratu- late the girl too, especially when all concerned are intimate? Since the action would stand the test of reason I should think it were all right. Let me know. BACHELOR, The really polite thing to do in the case is to congratulate the man and offer the young women best wishes, but it is no breach of etiquette to con- gratulate them both, especially when well acquainted with both. From “Migs Inquisitive.” I am eighteen years of age; and am going with a young man of nineteen. My parents do not object, he is of & good family and highly respected. Do you think I am too young to receive attention from this one young man? I attend theaters and dances with him, Is this right? How long should a boy stay when calling in the evening? Is half past ten too late? Hope I am not asking too much. “MISS INQUISITIVE.” Half past ten is as late as anyone ought to stay when making an evening Will Be Found to Ald Materially in Keeping Centerpieces in Perfect Condition. Combination {ndividual rolls and covers for centerpieces are much bet- ter than having one stick for a num- ber of such articles, as when six or eight table mats are rolled together they are certain to get more or less muesed, since the entire collection must be handled whenever one of them is released. Inch thick pine rods now come in various lengths especlally for the foundation for centerpiece rolls, and which any of these may be padded with cotton batting and then covered with Irish crash, Irish linen or heavy lawn, it is much better to provide a cover which is permanently attached to the roll and is wrapped about it in company with the centerpiece. These roller covers often are made of white crash, pointed and tape bound at the lapping or outer end and fastening by means of a tape loop and a crocheted button, but far more practical are the individual roll cov- ers that are made of printed cretonne, tape bound all round and fastened with two sets of tape strings. . Blouse Luxurious. Quite the most luxurious of the new blouses are those made almost en- | tirely of real lace. In one model point de venise, filet and valenciennes laces are combined. The scheme chosen is simple, but the laces are arranged in effective panels and motifs joined with the valen- o 27, 1912 call, and ten is even better if both young people have early responsibill- ties the next day. You must decide the question for yourself, personally I think you are both too young to go steadily together or to be engaged. e good friends, but both go with oth- er persons and see how you feel at the end of a year. Questions From “Faithful Readers.” teen. We wish to ask you a few ques- tions in regard to ourselves. Is it proper for girls of our age to have boys escort them home from a plo ture show? Is it proper for girls to shows? FAITHFUL READERS. tions from my girls, and I hope they depends upon the picture show; some are good and some should never see the light at all. 8o much depends up- on the boys and more depends upon the girls. If father and mother do not object to either the shows or the boys 1 do not, but do not go too often ‘and try to go in the daytime and not at night unless an older person goes as chaperon. Suggestions for a Birthday Party. I am going to give a birthday party this month, I will be fifteen. Which would it be better to have, all girls or girls and boys? What games would be nice to play? What would be served as refreshments? How should the in- asked too many questions. SCHOOL GIRL. You have not asked too many ques- tions and I only wish I could give you more definite answers. Personally I like afternoon parties for just girls, when your age, but you might think it more fun to have the festivity of an evening affair with both girls and boys. I think I would let mother or whoever gives the party decide. You can get the regular birthday party sta- tionery to be filled in, or telephone the message. Serve ice cream, of course, birthday cake and bonbons with choco- late and brown bread sandwiches if you wish more. I would play guessing games and have each one do some stunt. MADAME MERRL INDIVIDUAL COVERS THE BEST | gpiGHT COLORS IN AFTERNOON One’s Own Drawing Room Is the Place for Display, but Hues Must Harmonize. The woman who dislikes display out {of doors, in her own drawing room ciennes, the most delicate of the | three laces. The new real lace blouses have touches of gold or silver thread intermingled with the lace. Lingerie blouses such as are seen sometimes beneath heavy coats bave long, close fitting sleeves finished with dainty wrist frills. often wears the brightest colors. This gives her a chance to lay aside the sober yet attractive tailor-made suit. Dresses are worn to harmonize or contrast with the colorings with which the room is decorated. Red looks well where the colorings are the claret shades and brown. Green In the soft, dull tones blends equally as well. An afternoon gown of geranium pink Is effective where the surrounding col- orings are of purplish hues. Bright sapphire blue harmonizes with almost aay color. A striking combination which looks well for afternoon wear Is red and purple in fuchsia shades. Emerald green is much worn, some- fimes combined with black. Gold lace snd nets of all varieties make effective trimming for this color. Any odd attractive color, no matter Yow vivid, may be used for the after- %00n dress. Arranging Flowers. When arranging cut flowers in a bowl, pour a tableglassful of water in- to the bowl. Put most of the flowers into the glass.

One day last week two little girls In Parsons were hurrying to school and were afraid they would be tardy. One little girl sald: “Let’s kneel right down and pray that we won't be tardy.” “Oh, no,” sald the other, “let’s hike on to school and pray while we're hikin'."—Parsons Sun.
