Encountering. a bevy of girls the other day with “Polly” at their head, all giggling and fairly bif^bllng oyer with* suppressed excitement, I headed off the procession to be literally run into by the same number of boys. It seems that “one of the girls” who Is to be a Jime bride objected seriously to "showers” as she feared to tax the pocketbooks of her friends, so she firmly declined to accept any. But “Polly,” always In for a lar:t, nad gath ered the clan and they were all going to the “Five an/! Ten Cent” each se lecting one article and then all were to go to the home of the bride-to-b^ and proceed to “shower” In the good old-fashioned wky. An obliging friend was calling upon the unsuspecting vic tim and had promised to stay until ‘they” came. They had ordered re freshments sent from a nearby ca terer and were Just having the time of their lives, as one of the lads ex pressed It. I next saw the bunch loaded down with all sorts of parcels, including a sprinkling can, carpet beater, clothes line, clothes pins, tack hammer, soap dish, etc. As the young couple w'ere going to housekeeping at once I am sure this shower was really most acceptable. Novel a Progressive Souvenirs for Party. At a recent bridge party, the hos tess gave each guest a very pretty basket. For games won the players received articles for a work basket; there w’ere bodkins, dainty thimbles, small embroidery scissors, wee pin cushions, tape needles, tape measures, needle books, emeries papers of needles, cards of hooks and eyes, rib bon runners, etc. There were no oth er prizes given. The* idea is a good one. All the things were of fine qual ity; the thimbles had been picked up in Italy for a mere trifle, being of sil ver gilt set with various semi-precious stones. At another party this same hostess gave small one-play books of there were twice that many. As they] rn TW Imm etaoin shrdlu shrdlu entered slips o f paper bearing the I name o fan animal in large printed letters was pinned on the back andj each had to ascertain “whd was who’" by adroit Questioning. This was loads! of fun, then til went into a room over which was this sign: “To the Great est Show on Earth.” Arranged on ta bles were the following articles each representing an animal, the signs were numbered and the guests had to| guesB the creatures: 1. Kid (a kid glove.) 2. I^ynx (some lynx from a chain.) 3. Rat (hair rat.) 4. Monkey (letters MON and aj door key.) 6. Chamois (a piece of chamois.) 6. Lion (a doll’s pillow.) 7. Gloat (a small piece of butter.) 8. Peacock (a dried pea and a toyj rooster.) '■ 9. Bear (a tiny undressed doll.) 10. Eagle (the letter E and a pic-| ture' of a sea gull.) The answers were written down op-1 posite the corresponding numbers on slips of paper. loe cream in shape of animals, animal crackers and cookies were served, aJso pink lemonade, pea-| nuts and popoom.

QUESTION BOX. The accepted way of making intro ductions when girls and boys are still in school* is to say “Mary Francis,” want you to meet “Charles Stone” ( “Miss White” (if an older person) this IS “Jane Jones” and “John Ball,” whom I have been wishing you could meet. White ink and blue stationary is a fad and not nearly so good form as plain cream, unruled paper with jet black ink. It Is always polite to rise when being introduced unless you are ill or an invalid. It is perfectly proper to place food from the side dishes on the plate, as you wish to eat them. Salad Is abvays eaten with a fork, and a fork or spoon is used according to whether the food is solid or liquid. Sweet com is usually eaten from the cob; knife, fork and spoon are leftside by side on the plate, lying across it. The lady follows the usher down the aisle. Chicken Is cut from the bone and cut into bits, then eaten with the fork. From* “Anxious.” HOME YESTERDAY. Mrs. E. L. Keesler and little daugh ter, Sarah, arrived home from Balti more yesterday.

The guests each brought either a glass of jelly or a jar of some kind of pickles or relish; recipes for each accompanied the gift and the hostess presented an aluminum preserving ket tle with a spoon of the same material Hot buttered toast, orange marmalade and tea was served, with candled gin ger and peppermints. The room was decorated with nasturtiums. Bath and Laundry Shower. A much feted bride had been seem ingly every kind of a shower, finally a clever young matron proposed a “bath and laundry” affair and it was a great success. The twenty guests consulted before hand, so there were no duplicates Here is a partial list of the gifts: Clothes line, 7 dozen clothes pins, a bag for same made of denim, the name neatly outlined in red, all kinds of starch, a hamper for soiled linen, laundry and bath soap, bath towefs, a dozen wash cloth^, bath brush, an Ironing board, white felt to cover it, several laundry bags for handkerchiefs and collars and cuffs; these were made of white pique, .the monograms pelng worked in colors. An electric Iron would be a fine addition if the is not too mnch, also a good sized clothes basket, and an apron of waterproof material. Oh, yes, I for go^ bath ball and bottle bluing, Ironing Holders, irons, rest and wax. New Animal Party. fifteen guests, but n-om the hilarity, one would think ^ I will be very thankful to you if you will please answer the following questions; How long before com mencement exercises should the invi tations be sent out? I have a boy friend in the town in which I live, would it be proper to send him one? If a boy wants to correspond with a lady friend of his. Is it his place to ask the girl’s permission or wait for her to ask him to write? And if he wants to give her a commencement gift, what is proper for her to ac cept? When out walking is the lady supposed to take the man’s arm, when going over a bad crossing, or should the man take the lady’s arm? And if the girl thinks she would like to* continue the walk, Is it her place or the boy’s to suggest it? . ANXIOUS. Invitations for commencement are sent out at least two weeks before that event; send your boy friend one if you want him to come; as I suppose you do. A man asks permission to write and sends the first letter. Flowers, books, candy, magazine subscriptions and any impersonal gift may be accept ed from boy friends at commencement time. If very dark or over a bad crossing, a man may take a woman’s arm until the danger is past, if neces sary to walk close together the woman takes the man’s arm. A girl may suggest walking farther If he wishes to, but circumstances alter cases and it really is neither one’s place it is according to how both feel about it. From "A Southern Girl.” When a gentleman calls on a young lady to escort her to theater or up town for a stroll, and the lady ha^ ing been taught it is correct that she should take the gentleman’s arm, should she fail to do so—should he take hers? Is it perfectly correct that he should continue holding the lady’s arm when they stroll'down the main lighted thoroughfare of the town? Please tell me when and where this rule of etiquette should be observed and d6es it apply to a small town as well as a crowded city? Your letter is too long to print en tirely as our apace is so limited. Un- or white?
