Little Miss Mary Tucker eclebrated her birthday Saturday aftenoon by inviting a number of little folks to spend the afternoon with her. The little folks played games on the lawn and in the parlors, after which delicious refreshments served.

There is an old-fashioned rule of courtesy that it is not good man- ners to commenr, even very favor, ably, upon the clothing, household furnishings and other possessions of one's acquaintances, unless the inti- macy is extremely close. Now, we certainly suffer from disregarding sume of the old-fashioned rulings, bu. it seems to me that is one which is more honored in the breach than the observance, and am happy to say that it is growing more and more common to honor it in that way. A brand new acquaintance was call- ing on me the other day. We talked of the weather and kindred topics snitable for brand new acquaintances were in regard {to personal comment we¢ should probably have gotten no clos- er to each other. But fortunately shke disobeyed. I had noticed tha: she was eyeing a quaint old-fash- icned secretary, which is the pride of n.y heart, and finally she burst into vocal admiration. From this pleas- ant comment we promptly proceeded to a general discussion of antique turniture .and of which we are ar- dent admirers, and instead of part- itg mere acquaintances, we laid the foundations of a pleasant friend-hip upon our mutual ardor for things co lonial I believe that this rule of silence wig supposed to be especially strict in regard o commenting upon any feod set before one, and, of cours:, to speak of cach article of food and concentrate the attention upon tin tible rather than on the and the tlow of » “least o - on above it iz bad et to speak out one's en- some particular dish; to 11l the hostess when she has hit t4 ry bulls’ eve of one's preforen fin the choice of her salad or dessert: |ty appreciate a bit of good cooking; even to give the sincerest form of futtery by asking for recipes—surely rhis is the kindness to one's hostess. but Kindness crystallized into forms - - . Girls Better School Attendants Than Boys. We have for years past noticed one very undesirable feature in the at- tendance of the public school in the higher grade, viz There are, as a rule, many more girls attending than boys. Why is this? Where are the boys? They leave school, many of shem, in their early or middle teens as soon as they are able to get a po- sition as clerk in some store or of- fice under the impression that they are wasting time by remaining in school longer. The average boy thinks that it he gets some business position that will enable him tto earn a few dollars a month, and that looks towards his final occupation in life, while his classmate sticks to school three or four years longer, he has just so many years the start of his companion who remains in school. Now the real facts in the case are that the reverse of this is the truth. The boy who remains in schoo] and acquires a thorough education lays a | foundation that will surely, other things being equal, enable him to surpass his class mate, who Ileft school three or four years earlier — Fort Myers Press Had she obeyed the old-time ruling | THE EVENING TELEGRAM, LAK ELAND, FLA., JUNE 17, 1912, e | Damty Book for Sewing Room That May Be Constructed From Rem- nants of Material, Needle-books rank among those | small articles that can be made in | spare moments from almost any little remnants of material and should not be forgotten when work is being pre- pared for bazars. We give, therefore, a sketch of a dainty little article of this description carried out in pale green silk and edged with a dark green silk cord of a fancy pattern carried into the two little loops at each corner. On the left hand side a conventional floral | design s worked in pale pink silk, and the word “Needles” fills up tie remaining space. { Diagram “D,” on the right haad side of the sketch, gives the floral de- sign In detail and shows the way in which it may be worked. The case is lined with pale pink soft silk and fit- ted inside with a number of “leaves” of flannel cut into points at the edges | and secured In their place with a fine sllk cord tled together at the back of the book, the ends being knotted and frayed out into tiny tassels. Diagram “A" shows the interior of the book. The cover should be stiffened with two pleces of cardboard sewn fn be- tween the silk and the lining, and in making the book, these can be sewn together and the book firmly stitched down the center, then the two pleces of card can be slipped In in the man- ner shown in diagram “B,” and the lower edge sewn together. “C" and “C” in dlagram “B” {ndl- cate the two pleces of cardboard. {AIM TO SUIT INDIVIDUALITY | Colors and Styles Must Be Adapted to the Wearer to Secure the Best Resuits. It s almost unconsclously that one notices that the shop windows which make our cities so spectacular and de lighttul are showing prophetic visions of what we are to be within ever so short a time. A gally colored hat of soft ollve and old gold holds us fas- cinated. We long for the will power to walk on, but it lingers in our mem- ory. How often has the woman of courage admitted that she could have the peculiar fascination and need of | that one had held her fast! Yet why | should she hesitate when she sees what sults her taste and individual | style? The woman who would be well dressed must consider serlously colors that blend with her hair, her eyes, and her general appearance; for the girl and woman of golden coloring brown and the soft shades of green are never failing delights, while silver grays and ollves cannot help but tempt the for- tunate possessor of gray halr—Itoi- per's Dazar Making Irish Crochet. A clever woman, who supports her self by making Irish crochet lace at | odd Mmoments, always learns to make the new patterns first by doing the work with a coarse hoop and flue wrapping cord. When thoroughly familiar with the | intricacles of the pattern, she can do | the work with the fine thread with And what is rea] courtesy ,after all,| out danger to her eyesight and Very | g ¢oirinhand tle seems scarcely much more rapidly than it could be done it she was working on an en | tirely new design. | The coarse lace made of the wrap- ping cord is used to trim llnen and | cretonne covers for the bureau and | tables. When she wishes to copy a new pat- tern from a small lllustration in a book or magazine, she uses a power- | ful magnifylng glass. Then the stitches can be counted without any trouble or without danger of stralning her eyes. Fllet and crossstitch work are treated in the same manner. Coat Lengthe. Regarding the long coat, theleng'd varies. There are coats that are cut away from the waist line ia front and extend to the bend of the knee !n the | back; others that extend half way to the knee, and are cut straight around the bottom and still others, quite l0DR, that are open up the fromt, showing the skirt to the waist line, above which they are slightly double breasted. l L RN S e R R v - For the Hair. Fashioned brooches or cam- eos will make exquisite bair or- naments. For instance, a pink cameo may fasten a bandeai of pink metallic ribbon. Or a lap's lazull brooch and earrings that . match may ornament a bandeau 7 made of king’s blue tulle. Pearl brooches and earrings look well on a velvet band of any color. a < passed by bravely any other hat, but | | | EFFECTIVE ADORNMENT FOR‘ THE SIMPLE SHIRTWAIST. Fabric That Introduces the Gown | Color Is Far Smarter Than the All White—Pretty Brooches and Bows, The fllustration shows the fancy version of the Peter Pan, the front being cut fn a novel way and the pocket left off, and this mode! would be most effective in a striped silk | matching the suit color. | As to shirtwalst colors, we will not be able to escape all white, and a fresh white walst certainly gives a business woman a neat and smart look when employed with her duties; but all white is far less smart than a fabric introducing the gown color in Some manner, and as a standby one bodice in a silk exactly matching the sult would be invaluable. This comes in very handy for rainy days and for the moment when a waite waist would seem a little too commonplace, for With a change of neck fixing the get- up can be made far more dressy. Among the smart wash shirtings whoso patterns match the colors of the new suit materials are madras and cheviot, the browns, blues and | plum tones of the pin stripes, checks luml dots and diamonds showing up very handsomely against the white g background. Shirts in these fabrics are always laundered without starch and very often the neck finish is in the form of a soft stock with ends made for a four-in-hand tie. Stift linen collars are likewlse worn with soft- laundered shirts, and with sllk and flannel ones, but the woman who has the beauty of her throat in mind pre- fers the more pliable stock of the shirt material or of Irish lace, for al- though a lace neck fixing takes away something of the distinction of a tail- The Blocking at the Front of This Waist Gives a Little Chance for Extra Dressiness. | ored waist the Irish stocks are much | worn. | For little extra occasions, when the | | dressy enough, there are charming butterfly bows in plain and lace-edged muslin and net, and girls who know how to make their own little neck fixings often turn these out from bordered handkerchiefs and make them in a way so that they wash with. out hurt.
