A bit of ilirtation all the while, That's a maiden's way. Perhaps a new beau every night Or fancy bonnets out of sight, Perhaps ten suitors in a plight That's a maiden's way. A laugh that's filled with witching graco, That's a maiden's way, Or elso a shy look on her face, That's a maiden's way. A simple word that makes men try To scale the mountains, sail the sky Or stick a dragon in the eye, That's a maiden's way. A word of sympathy and love, That's a maiden's way. When skies are darkened up above. That's a maiden's way. A trust more true than heaven's bliss, Companionship when fate's amiss, A cheering word, a simple kiss, That's a maiden's way. T ODAY CARD, etiquette Is so sim plified and systematized that any woman can follow it with out danger of serious blunders. When onco the fundamental prin ciples of this are mastered, the oc casional changes may be made by those who wish to keep in touch with these things. A card is never taken into a room and presented to the hostess. It is left by the caller on a tray in the hall ns she passes. If your call bo made on the first "day at home" of the season, you will placo In the tray one card of your own and, if married, two of your husband's. Aft er that, during the season, you need not leave any cards If calls are mnde on at-homo days. If any special en tertainment be given by your hos tess to which your husband is invit ed, two of his cards must be left when making the return call. This rule obtains If the hostess be a mar ried womnn. If a woman Is hostess at a formal affair and Is nssisted by her unmar ried daughters, there are no cards left for them, even though they have mndo their bow to society. If an un married woman Is tho hostess, then cards are as carefully left as if she wore a matron. If you nro unmnrrled and arc us ing a separate calling card, it Is suf ficient to put a card Into tho tray for your hostess and one for the friend that Is receiving with her. This Is done when the call is the first of tho season, or when you are acknowledg ing liny hospitality by calling after ward. After this, a young woman need not leave cards at the "days at liomo" of her friends. Hemomber that no woman leaves her card for any men in a house hold. If a visitor In a homo be call ed upon, always recognize the hos tess, oven If she bo unknown to you, and leave two cards, ono for her and ono for your friend. Now, supposo that you arc visit ing friends and accompany them on n llttlo round of paying calls, if you nro not contemplating a visit of any longth and do not know the persons upon whom tho call Is made, your card Is not loft If they nro not at homo. If you Intend to stay two weeks or more, and If tho persons called upon present themsolves, one card should bo left In tho hall. If a special arrnngeinont hns been mnde to call and thus Introduce tho st ranger, then cards nro left as at any other llrst call. When n formal morning call is mndo by a woman upon another wo mnn for a llttlo business of a chnrlt nlile nature only ono card Is sont up ltv tho caller. If tho mistress bo out, this nnd a short explanation of the purpose of tho business nro given to tho sorvant. Women who have boen a llttlo worried about their visiting cards will profit by this. A knowledge of this very formal institution is just foiie mark of attention to tho details of social life. Master these facts and there need be no halting and blun dering at functions where cards should be left. J J Mrs. P. K.
