The laughing beams of light, like gay troupes of gold-liveriod fairies, played hide-and-seck in her silvery hair. But the big, bright hearth hos passed away, and with it are fast go- ing the women who sew., Times and customs and needs have changed. Once the grandest dames took pride in making their own finest dresses. Today even ordinary dames feel it sufficient accomplishment to put on without assistance the gowns that are made for them. What was once an accomplishment has become a trade. There are left among us few housewives who sew, Only here and there is now encoun- tered a cheerful, busy reminder of a glory that is gone. . . .

I bn“ mtem“ to the " hig gy, UP 80d OF the sea- An old-fashioned method of clean- ing the first soil from white kid sloves is quite worth repeating., Pure white soap was moistened in water, After the gloves had been tightly drawn upon the hands the soap was applied. The sozp must not be wei, just softened. A piece of flannel was used to rub the soiled spots clean. The result will be sufficient- ly satisfactory to permit wearing, without a thorough cleaning with benzine or gasoline. Our grandmothers carefully darned cach tear or hole as quickly as it appeared in the garment. If the gar- ment was of wool, they used ravel- ings of the material with which to darn the hole. When a dainty mull or linen dress was torn they placed a piece of the fabric under the tear and carefully mended it with the finest thread. They were particularly proud of their needlework and did most of their sewing by hand.

MERRI Queries From Pearl, I am so anxious to know these things; will you help me? How should a girl act so that the boy will know | that she would like his company home | from church or a show? Is it proper for a girl to ride with a young man after a party, church or late at night? | It a girl is in a strange town and has & boy friend there should she let him know she i1s there? Hope I haven't asked too much. PEARL. You may be sure that I will help you to the best of my ability, but [ am afraid I cannot tell you how to get a boy's attention it he does not care to give it. It is a woman’s privilege to be sought. Home is the place to go after an entertainment, unless with a | party and chaperoned, and then & sup- per is permissible. It s perfectly proper to let your friends, both giris and boys, know when you are in thelr home city. Puzzling Questiens. Will you please tell me is it proper for a girl of fifteen to write to a boy of nineteen regularly? Should a girl ask a boy for his stickpin or ring, or will he give it to her it he wishes her to have 1t? Please tell me is it proper for a girl and boy to discuss another boy or girl, or both? M. A. As [ have sald so often, I think a girl of fifteen 18 too young to permit the attention of just one boy; still it | the correspondence referred to is just a schoolboy and girl friendship I see | no objection if the love element is left | out. By no means ask a boy for any | of his jewelry. It depends upon whether the discussion is friendly | whether it is right or not.

Should you write “Friend George” or “Dear George?” How should a boy write In corre- | sponding with a girl? | ANXIOUS. Do not say “Friend.” Just the name, with “My dear” before ft, or just! “dear” is sufficient if you are both well | acquainted, and the same rule applies | ! when a boy is writing to a girl, only, | unless very old friends, he should | say “Miss Grace.” In fact, I think it is always more dignified and reveren- tial for a boy to say “Miss” in speak- ing of a young woman, Reply to “Lonesome.” You certainly ask a multitude of to print, as space is so limited. Kor a girl of seventeen your writing is not | very good. You can wear any color both too strong for your pink cheeks. I should imagine you are pleasing in appearance and well-proportioned. A girl cannot be too particular in regard to the boys she goes with, and I should not worry.

I expect to be married next month and would like your advice on the matter of “at home” cards. We are going to live in Portland, Ore, but can. not select & house until we reach there. Would it be better to have “At home, Portland, Ore,” which is rather indef- inite, or to leave It out entirely? If “at home” cards are necessary, which is better, to have them engraved sep- arately or on the invitation? ANXIOUS.
