QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Proper Visiting Card.
Our daughter is seventeen years old
and sometimes needs cards; how
should They be engraved? I prefer
without the prefix “Miss.”
Until the young woman finishes
school and makes her bow in society,
if you prefer, the cards may be sim
ply engraved “Muriel Gray,” although
"Miss” is more frequently used. After
that her visiting card must read
“Miss Gray.” This tells the *world
that she is the only Miss Gray. If the
first name was used it would signify
that she had an elder sister.
For a Birthday Party.
I would appreciate very much any
suggestion which you may offer as to
entertainment and refreshments for a
birthday surprise party. No cards or
dancing. AN INQUIRER.
At a recent surprise party each
guest brought a joke present not cost
ing over 25 cents. These packages
were delivered at intervals of ten min
utes and made a very jolly time as
each gift was accompanied by a jingle
either original or borrowed. Puzzles
are popular and guessing contests.
Concerning iVlourning.
Will you kindly inform me what
should be worn for second mourning.
Is it correct to wear jewelry?
AN INTERESTED READER.
Black and white combination are
considered second mourning, with jet
jewelry. No colored stones are per
missible, except pearl or amethysts.
In the last period of second mourn
ing grays and lavenders are worn.

Pertalning to Weddings.
I am to be married the last of July,
and as one of the parties is a Catho
lic must be married at the parsonage,
therefore cannot have a church or
home wedding.
Am to be married in white, and the
only attendants will be maid of honor
and best man.
1. Must wear a veil or will big
white hat be suitable?
2. Will it be necessary to have
music?
S. Will it be correct to invite a few
special friends and relatives verbally,
and just the bridal party go to house
for supper? B. T. M.
Under the circumstances I should
wear a pretty white hat, white gloves,
have no music and ask your friends
verbally, as you suggest, to the house.
Four Questions.
Is it proper vo ask a boy to have a
seat when he enters the house if I
expect to be 'accompanied by him
somewhere? On returning should I ask
him to stay awhile i f it is not late?
Should I ask him to call again? Is a
girl of fifteen years too young to re
ceive company sometimes?
AN INTERESTED READER.
It is always polite to ask a person
to be seated and if when you return,
it is not late it is proper to ask the
boy in for a little while and ask him
to come again, if you really want him
to do so. A girl of fifteen is rather
young for boy callers, but It all de
pends how and when and who, and if
mother or those in authority do not
object.
The Boy Should Sing.
If a girl can play the piano and the
young man that calls on her can sing,
should he sing for her if she wishes
him to? J. C. B.
If the young man can sing and the
girl enjoys hearing him and asks him
to do so, he should comply with her
request.
