Invitation to Dinner Means a Dinner
Must Be Given in Return
Women generally might be Intereated tn
hearing about a work dresa that la evi

It is made like a coat, is fitted In the
back, while the fronts are cut bo large
they -fold over as far aa. the underarms.
Just at this point a short belt Is aewed to
each front and corresponding sllta are left
in the underarm seams.
The dress la cut aquare In the neck and
has long sleeves. It la open all tha way
down the front and put on like a coat.
The fronts cross and the bolts pasa through
the silts, buttoning In the back.
Only a few mlnutea are necessary to ad-
Just tha dresa and for slipping on to get
an early breakfast or over a good gown
to get dinner at night it cannot be excelled.
Again, as the frocks are double, when
the one front becomes soiled the other can
Invitations must ba returned In kind If a
WMiian wishes to continue to be popular
socially. Hooial obligations are to be dis
charged to the letter and a luncheon Invita
tion does not discharge tha obligation for
dinner, i A woman who sends a dinner
InrltaUon must be given a dinner Invlta
ttosi tn return; a luncheon la not sufficient.
Broadly peaking, it la only married
woman who entertain at dinner; those who
aro unmarried, aa a rule, give only lunch
ooa. As a married woman cannot be In
vited without her husband In the evening,
If tha two are living together, it therefore
bsoomoa obvious that a dinner Invitation
from another who la marrltd includes bo h
husband and wife. To repay the debt
properly tha woman who gave the first
Invitation and her husband must be bidden
to dinner before the season Is over. If the
original invitation takea another form than
dinner, such as a reception. It la desirable
that tha return Invitation should be for the
savina sort of funct.on.
Not all women, however, give formal re
ceptions , each season and a dinner, for
tunately, oavera anything;. , It la considered
the highest form of compliment one couple
oaa pay td ; another, socially, so that a
theater party, an evening bridge or any
other function for which both husband and
wife are lnvlt4 may be repaid by a dinner
later.
It ta not tomary to Invite a woman
either for luncheon or with her husband
for dinner unlesa one wishes the acquaint
ance to continue. Hut to fall to do so when
a almllar invitation haa been received is a
cut direct. - If a married woman Invites a
couple t dlntier, and the Invited guest,
whether an acc-ptance or re i; ret haa been
ant, later asks the original hostess only to
a luncheon, ehe then hat given a cut to
the husband of her hostess.
This dxa'not mean that to Invite a mar
ried woman to luncheon Is necessarily to
out bar husband, but only wh n it 1 a
first tnvllatlua and a hen return Is being
made for a dinner. Broadly speaking, one
cannot Invite a married woman to luncheon
time after time w.thout also Inviting her
and her husband to dinner.

And the housewife chased the

Came a statesman back from

To his home In Omahaha

Keeps Uie meter flowing

Meter mat la quite essential
To the purpose of the writer.
Who would alng the song of

Hertie who would wear a toga.
Togas they ate quite expen

Being u,i to silken atocklnga
And to other da.nty touches
In lila life apart from common
Folks wl-o wear but cotton
Or In summer go without
them.
Bertie thought the time pro
pitious To secure a cinch election.
Po he set himself about it.
And Ins start looked like a
winner's.
Like Hie runner in tha foot
race
Who haa all the other runners
Choked to death with ten-foot
halters.

With a rand and gorgeous
flourish.

Beauty of this sen-; of Bertie
Bertie told about Bal-lin-yer,

Told 'em how he was In favor
Of the poor folka and the
needy.
How he chased tha money
devil
To his lair and there destroyed
him.
How the crafty old octopus
Feared him more than any
other;
Told em all these talea and
others.
Beitie surely lied m coining
"None there is like unto
Bertie!"
Loudly shouted Bertie's back
ers. And they rublid their hands
together,
Chuekl.d softly aa they
thought of
Wampum hi ! that looked
lj t run I so easy;
t fail. I Chortled loud,, in their fancy
As they figured on the pickings
Thai would follow Bertie's
toga.
Oh, it looked like taking candy
From a child, or aiealing
Crutchea from tha helpless
cripple.
Never waa a cinch Ilka Ber

And again the backers ahouted.
Bertie, too, waa feeling bully
And hia smile waa growing
wider,
Smile tuat simply would not
coma off.
How io cut the toga worried
Bertie;
Old-style togaa didn't auit
him.
He would have tha new one
hobble,
Willi a bias fold and pleated.
Very aure waa this our Bertie.
Iheii along came one named

Edtai, who had carried water

In the days when pretty
Bertie
Was not taking any chances.
LUaar said: "Look here,
Bertie,
You must come off this here

Or i ll tell 'em where you got

Tell 'em all about Joe Bartley
And the debt you didn't pay
