Two amusing stories mvolving the multiplicity of social detail are going the rounds of the fashionable West Farnam district and have come to Meliificia’s cars. Josephine, zged 4, was biaden 10 her first children’s party unaccom- panied by her mother. Mother gave points in social etiquette before her departure for this momentous affair, impressing on little Josephine the im- portance of not asking for a second helping or taking away some other, little girl's playthings, cte, etc Mother anxiously awaited her dar- ling's return irom this, her .real “debut,” as it were, in society. She; asked “leading” questions in order-to discover whether her daughter had committed any social breach. “And did you make your farewell| and tell Henrietta, your little hostess, what @ good time you'had had before you came away?’ Mother inquired. *1 wanted to, Muvver, but there were so many ittle girls saying ‘Goodbye’ [ didn't know which one was Henrietta!” the little miss re- plied.

I am admired by a gentloman past 30, who 1s well-to-do and of whom 1 think & good deal. I have known him for about six months and he now de- sires that we become engaged and walt a yea then marry. My brother bo- leves am too young, but he leaves it en- tirély to me, and my mother advises me to accept. I am positive this man Is deeply in love, but I am so youns. TOPAZ. Don't marry just to be taken care of. Don’t do ypurself and the man who cares for you the horrible injustice of entoring into marrlage without love. Why do you not see this man as a friend for a year or two and, If the friendship grows to love, * happiness based on such a firm foundation will be fairly certaln. Your feeling that you are only a child makes me doubt your readiness to enter on the life of a woman— but & yoar may work many changes Not Improper. ' Dear Miss Fairfax: My younger sister, Annette, was brought up to womanhood in the household of an older married sister. I am unmarried and board elsewhere. Both sisters have had a falling out.

It will be quite all right for her to live in an apart- ment wifh her brother and act as his house-, keeper—but it will demand a certaln amount of unselfish devation from ‘“brother’—are you ready to give 1t? 1f you are, it might be a very pleasant plan for you to let your ke @ home for you sister pecting Mr. Royal B.

These spe- cial centers should be dipped in melted fondant. Chocolate Dipping. For dipping ordinary bitter choco- late is very satisfactory, or a special dipping chocolate may be purchased. Baker's “Dot” chocolate is a good dipping chocolate. The prepared kind is more expensive, however. Melt | chocolate over hot water, allowing plenty of chocolate to cover the bon- bon. If ordinary bitter chocolate is | used, T have found it very satisfactory to add a small bit of paraffin about the size of a bean for each ounce of chocolate used. The paraffin keeps the chocolate from getting soft as! soon as handled. I cannot defend this practice from the standpoint of pure food, for the paraffin, though harm- less, does not add any food value.| Still, it is a device which works! Turn off the flame from under the choco- late, for if the chocolate is too hot it makes a very thin coating. Place a bonbon on a fork, dip in the chocolate, remove and drain a moment, then re- move to oiled paper by ‘the aid of a second fork. Cream Cherries, Nuts, Etc. Cut the top of a candied cherry into points with scissors; make a small ball of fondant and press into the | center of the cherry. For creamed nuts make a ball of fondant and press it between two halves of nuts.

Don't forgo mistletoe if it is too ex- pensive or not plentiful. Trim holly leaves with scissors and sew on small pearl beads and the illusion will be complete. Don'’t have all the nut-cracking done at the table, as it makes too much soil; have the nuts partly rrxck(‘(l in advance and remove almost all' the waste shell; less confusion arises and delay from passing the nut-crackers. Don't serve foods in large dishes or plates: the more you can arrange the individual portions of pie, tart, salad, cranberry sauce, ctc., in advance the less serving at the table and the fewer large dishes to wash after the feast. Don’t use paper ornaments or cot- ton batting on any tree. Use asbestos shavings or mica to represent snow and glass ornaments. The jranches can be treated with an anti-fire prep- aration if desired.
