Points In Etiquette.
I am Invited to a reception, from
8:30 to ton o'clock, and after that
dancing. I am puzzled as to how I
should dress. If gloves are worn,
are they removed Just before you go
In for refreshments? About place
cards, are they to help find one's
placo at tho table, and nro they taken
or left by tho plate when one has fin
ished? A, L. D.
Any evening dress is sultnblo for
the occasion you mention. Gloves aro
usually removed when ouo is seated
for refreshments and put on after
ward. Place cardB bear the name of
tho guest who is to occupy tho seat,
and arc to bo taken if tho guest
wishes. They aro often hand-painted
or otherwise elaborate, and in that
case aro Intended ns souvenirs or fa
vors. A plain card with name of
guest in Ink answers every purpose
and somo hostesses have their mono
gram on plain cards for use as place
indicators, writing the name of tho
guest themselves, sometimes adding
the date if it is a very special occa
sion. A Four-Year-Old8 Birthday.
Will you kindly inform me how I
should celobrate my child's fourth
anniversary, and .what should I have
for a lunch or what is best? A Con
stant Reader.
Write notes in tho name of your
child, Inviting tho llttlo ones to come
to play and bring their mothers upon
tho day and dato and hour designated.
Uso tho party stationery if you can
get it. Servo cocoa with whipped
cream, or a marahmallow in each cup;
wholo wheat bread sandwiches, birth
day cake (either sunshine or angel
food) and Ice cream. Peppermint
kisses are harmless, or what Is known
as "kindergarten" candles.
Costume for Matron of Honor.
I shall appreciate your telling me
a few things, about a wedding. It is
to bo a simple homo wedding at eight
o'clock in the evening, and the bride
Is to marry In a traveling suit. What
should tho matron of honor wear?
Does sho have to wear a traveling
Bult, too? If not, would a white lib
erty satin do? E. P.
Tho matron of honor would certain
ly outshine the bride if she wore a
white satin gown. A white serge or
broadcloth would be better, or a pretty
light gray or tan reception dress.
The Proper Thing to Do.
Have received invitations to a tea,
a muslcalo and reception, each on a
visiting card. I wish to accept How
shall I answer In each case?
Do I make calls afterward, and how
soon? A. B. C. D.
Uso note paper or correspondence
cards and accept or regret, as Is your
Intention. Use the third person in re
plying, but do not" uso your visiting
card; it is not good form. Mako a
call within tho month.
A Brlde-to-Be's Queries.
Is it proper for tho bride to como
to tho wedding breakfast or any re
past after tho ceremony In her bridal
dress? Or should sho leave the
guesta and change for her traveling
drcsB first? Should announcement
cards bo engraved? Minnie.
A brldo partakes of breakfast or any
refreshments served after the cere
mony in all tho glory of her bridal
robe. When sho appears In her trav
eling gown it la to leave the house im
mediately. Announcement cards
should bo engraved.

Will you kindly suggest somo way
to shape a basket for a basket social?
I would llko to have something now
or odd. And also, will you please tell

Anxious.
You can buy all kinds of dainty
basketa very cheaply, those of Japan
ese manufacture mado of wistaria are
lovely. They may bIbo bo made of
crepo tlssuo paper braided tightly and
sowed into shape. Any colors are
pretty. Chooso what suits you best.
From a Boy.
Do you Bee any harm in two boy
chums kisBing when they moet and
when alone with each other? Do you
think a boy should pay "party calls"
when ho must work each day? A Boy
Reader.
I think it la strictly up to tho boys.
If they wish to kiss, let them. There
is nothing wrong in it, and I think
the most beautiful sight I over saw
was tho way an only eon always em
braced his father. Seems to mo If a
boy accepta hospitality, that ho could
find tlmo on Sunday afternoon or eve
ning to pay a party call.
MADAME MERRI.
New Treatment to Correct
Loose, Flabby Skin.
French Beauty Specialists Introduced
This Innovation, and It Has Been
Eagerly Taken Up In This
Country.
By MME. ARMAND.
If your skin la looso and dabby and
you hesltato to masBago it for fear of
pushing or dragging It which, by tho
wny, is very harmful, especially when
lines are apparent then try tho new
er treatment of slapping tho flesh.
French beauty specialists bollcvo
more in slapping and kneading the
llcsh than In massago, and Judging
from tho patronage thoy recclvo, It Is
a real success.. Of course, tho slap
ping la a Bort of massage, but as it
is applied with the Hat of tho hand,
there Is no pushing, pulling or drag
ging of the skin, which is likely to oc
cur with ordinary massago if one is
not careful and skilled in tho work.
In taking ono of these treatments
not long ago I was told that the skin
and flesh responded more quickly to
this kind of work and that almost any
part of tho body could bo filled out In
much less time than with tho ordinary
massago. '
It certainly makes tho blood which
Is dormant and sluggish como to life.
Tho regulnr pit-pat sends It tingling
through the veins until It seems that
the whole skin is aglow with fresh,
warm blood. In tho Turkish baths
part of tho treatment consists of slap
ping and kneading the entire body,
and that is why one feels so good
thereafter, because every bit of blood
possible to reach has been set In mo
tion. How to Slap Your Own Face.
First cleanse tho face thoroughly.
Then warm tho skin either by holding
hot cloths upon It or by steaming it.
Next tfat In some of your favorite
cream or skin food. Allow all that
will to absorb and then with tho flat
of tho hand slap firmly, yet severely,
at the corners of tho eyes and temples.
Tho work of slapping is done best by
alternating with the hands, using ono
and then tho other. Next slap tho
checks from the sides of tho nose.
Work out over the Jawbone and on to
the neck. If what la known aB tho
character lines, those which run from
the nostril to tho corners of tho
mouth, aro deep, then push tho tonguo
beneath tho lino and slap well. When
working about tho eyes do so very
gently. Uso only tho cushion of the
second flnger-tlp. Remember nlways
that the eyes aro. sensitive to any
hard or vigorous application, bo ono
must be careful to do no harm to
them. Tho forehead may bo slapped
vigorously with tho palms, and two
fingers will sufllce to alap tho nose on
each side.
Double Chin Needs Slapping.
To romovo the superfluous fat and
doublo chin, slap it vigorously. Lift
up the head and with tho back of the
hands, alternately, slap upward, oc
casionally pressing the flesh toward
the chin, never down toward tho
throat.
When the faco, neck and chin havo
been sufficiently slapped they should
tingle and Bmart, but not pain. Then,
nfter a few moments' rest, the hands
should bo doubled up Into fists, and
the flesh softly kneaded all over, and
wherever tho Bkln Is loose and baggy
It should bo picked up between tho
thumb and second finger and gently
rolled back and forth. When finish
ed tho faco can bo cleansed of dust
and foreign particles Just as it is with
ordinary massago. If you will take
an old soft towel first to remove tho
superfluous cream you will notlco how
soiled It is. This slapping and knead
ing not only helps to fill out tho flesh,
but makes an, excellent way of ridding
tho skin of many impurities.
Another Method of Using Cream.
It is very difllcult to make somo
skins absorb oils and creams and no
matter how hard ono may try by
steaming tho skin and other warming
methods to open tho pores, tho cream
still remains on tho surface If your
skin la of this texture, then, after
steaming or warming It, rub a llttlo of
tho cream on the tips of your fingers
or the palms of tho hands, and while
you aro slapping tho skin this will
work into it. A good mnny women
prefer to bo massaged in tho same
way, and do not caro to havo tho
cream rubbed on tho faco first. It cer
tainly has tho advantago over tho old
method of applying the cream, as it Is
moro dainty and does not grease up
tho wholo face or Bkln at once. You
can also toll Just how much cream tho
skin will absorb. If you tako very
little at first, and It works In, the
hands becom dry and then you may
tako up a llttlo more, and in this man
ner you can toll that tho cream la
sinking Into tho Bkln.
Colored Caps.
A rather daring departuro haa been
made In tho matter of boudoir caps.
Aside from tho finest Irish linen and
laco of the same manufacture, colored
ribbons aro now bolng run through
tho lace openings at tho bottom of tho
cap, and in somo casei) caps of gayly
colored linen, with whlto laco, are
being shown. This la strikingly new,
because of tho fact that whlto has al
ways been tho predominating color
for a morning cap. In tho colored
caps Irish linen ia not being uaod.
Thcso caps may last, but It la unlikely,
as milady ia discriminating and may
refuse to depart from the elegant
white linen cap.

COLD WEATHER HINTS.
Do not wear your fur-lined overcoat
In tho sun. Unless it Is the best qual
ity of fur tho rays of the sun will
fade tho color.
Don't get excited. Nothing so adds
to ono'B calorification na being ex
cited. If you find yourself crossing
tho street with tho dust blowing in
your eyes, and nn automobile running
CO miles an hour bearing down upon
you, for mercy's snke bo calm. It Ib
better to bo hit than hot.
To cool your sleeping room, get tho
plumber to run somo heavy piping
about tho walls and floor and celling
In tho basement Install u cold storage
plant, connected with these pipes. On
retiring, turn on tho frigidity.
Don't walk In tho sun. If necessary
to walk on tho" sunny sldo of tho
street wait till a fat man comes along
and wnlk In his shadow.
Ice cream soda Ib said to bo heat
producing. Should n young lady
casually say something about It, re
mind her of this fact. You will be
surprised, If not delighted, at tho cool
ness that will result.
Don't cat hot dluhes. For that mat
ter, do not eat hot cups nnd saucers,
or hot sugar bowls, or hot turcons, or
hot platters. They aro Indigestible
and will only add to your discomfort.
Magnum Opus.
In tho halls of tho vast Institution
of learning they warn us to tread
lightly as wo pasB tho seat of tho pal
lid youth who la moodily composing
something upon a sheet of pure whlto
paper.
Wo see his knitted brow; his air of
Intense thought; his every ovidenco
of great mental struggle.
"Ah," wo whisper, "Is he preparing
somo weighty treatise on political
economy; or nomo thesis which shall
show the nations of tho v.orld tho
proper system of government'"
"No," whispers tho guide in reply.
"Ho Ib getting up tho now class yell."
Appeal to Order.
"Gentlemen!" shouted the Toxn3
sheriff to tho mob as It surges about
tho Jail. "Gentlemen, I beg you to
havo proper respect for thf officers
of tho law. At least wait until tho
Judge and tho coroner cun bo sum
moned. They felt pretty bad last
week becauso you went ahead and
had tho lynching without letting them
in on the game."
Appreciating the fact that the serv
ants of tho people were ontltled to a
fow privileges, tho mob courteously
sat down and waited for tho nbsont
officers.
WHERE WRINKLES COME FROM
Contrary to General Impression, Most
of Them Come From Laughter
Some Peculiarities.
Tho general lmprosslon about
wrinkles is that they are caused by
worry, but tho truth la that most of
them como from laughing.
To know how to Ir.ugh Is Just nB
important ns to know when to do It.
If you laugh with tho sides of your
faco tho skin will work looso in tlmo
and wrinkles will form In oxnet ac
cordance with tho kind of laugh you
havo.
Tho man who nlways wears a smirk
will havo a HorleB of semicircular
wrinkles covering his cheoks.
A gnmblor, who Is nceustomod to
suppressing his feelings, generally has
a deep lino running from each sldo of
his noso to tho upper corner of his
mouth, which In tlmo extends to the
chin, forming tho shape of a halt
moon.
A cadaverous person Is usually
marked with two wrlnklos, ono an
tho Jaw and tho other under tho oyo,
meeting at right angles at tho check
bones.
The BChoIar'B wrlnklo forms on his
brow, whilo a schemer's wrinkles come
around his eyes and look llko spokes
of a wheel.

SOME ANIMALS CAN REASON
Raccoon Reaches Plate of Food With
Hind Legs When Unable to Con

A contributor to tho Youth's Com
panion toll? tho following story, which
certainly supports tho theory by
soma people thnt nnlmals can rea
son: "We were on a Btago Journoy from
Lewlnton, Idaho, to Grnngevlllo, Idaho,
a dlstanco of 70 miles. Tho Btago
stopped for noon at tho Fountain
houso, half-way betweon tho two
towns. A lnrge raccoon was chained by
tho collar to a post In tho front yard.
After luncheon tho driver of tho Btngo
gathered up a plato of food from tho
table and carried It out to whoro
tho animal was chained. Ho set tho
plate Just out of reach of tho rac
coon'H front pawa. Tho animal strain
ed nnd reached, but could not cover
the distance
"Ono of tho passengers said, 'Why
do you not place It within his reach?'
" 'Ho can reach It,' tho driver re
plied. " 'Ho can't, unlosB you movo the
plato nearer.'
" 'Walt and see.' Bald tho drlvor.
"Tho raccopn had by this tlmo
given up trying to reach tho food, and
snt whining. Ho Beemed to ponder
over the problem for n few moments,
then stretched his chain to Kb fullest
extont, turned round, reached out with
his hind foot, dragged tho plato to
wnrd him, reversed tho procoss, grasp
ed It In hlo front pawa, and proceed
ed to enjoy his diunor, much to tho
amusement of tho onlookers and tho
dlscomflturo of tho man who wnn sure
he could not accomplish tho task."
Subtle Flattery.
"Your boy secmB to bo stronger on
athletics than ho Is on tho classics."
"Yes," replied tho candid parent.
'Ho explained that to mo. Ho says
ho knows I am much moro likely to
understand and appreciate what ho Is
doing In athletics."
Mischievous Disposition.
"Doea y6ur boy play football?"
"Not much," repllod Mr. Growcher.
"I think that what he enjoys Is put
ting on tho uniform and frightening
his mother."

"I never will Invito Miss Moth
To dlno with us again."
Bald Mr. Huge, "for sho will eat
As much ns any ten."
"Sho nto up everything ho found
Upon tho bill of faro,
And then sho wasn't satisfied
Sho ate tho clothes I wear."
"She nto my underclothes all up.
And ato holes In my coat,
And also ato my hat and vest,
And other things, I note."
"I hear tlint Bho In now engnged
