IN THE MATTER OF CALLS

" From Womas. . .
HE question of who Is to pay the
first eail la of ten a' source of
misunderstanding, for the local
custom mortify the rules' which
', rigid formality lays down. In
tbe country, for Instance, the estab
lished residents call upon newcomers
aa soon aa a reasonable time haa
elapsed after their arrival, but In large
-clttea- this IS never doner One's neigh
bora In the city ara, quite possibly the
very last' people one will ever know
or care to know - In a large city, ac
quaintance comes ' only through Intro
ductions. - -""
Where there is is no previous obliga
tion upon either aide and two women
arrive home after their summer holiday
upon the same day or near it, the
younger- Is expected to call upon the
older first It (My 'are of practically
the name age. (he one arriving first
In town calls first, or the one who la
unmarried calls upon - the. one who Is.
If one Is In arrears for some hospltal-
ty of the previous seaaon, she.paya the,

distinctions: tha careful woman will
not, however, be In: arrears. Every ob-T,
ligation sufjya be xuinuea Decora tne
season ends. - t
Persons of note, brides, , the" olergy,
elderly persons, strangers and invalids,
are the ones entitled to the first calls,
in the order named.1 They-also may
take the Initiative In Inviting others to
call, and those invited should promptly
avail themselves of the privilege) .
At watering .places and other summer
colonise those who arrive early In tbe
season pay the flret call on later
comers, and the permanent residents
call flrat upon those who are merely
birds -of Message, while the cottagers
call flrat upon their friend who .put

A durk blue ribbon bow at her neck
was snugly tied, and a tiny pin of dfs,

her hair fluffed softly about her f ore

Continuing upon tha subject of dress,
Mrs. Williams said that the prevailing
mode waa not necessarily good dress

"That la where some ef your women
fall in dress; they stick too closely to
the modes and. faahlona of each season
rather than dress according to . what
best suits them. I never consider the
mode I Only wear what I consider is
becoming. For Instance, so many wo
men wore . last -season those little
cocked-up hats affected by the French,
but to English women they are very
unbecoming our faces are too long and
those lines were accentuated by that
style of hat. I stuck to my own par

"I never "Wear Jewels-to-any-entent,"
Id Mrs. Williams, "for they belong-by
right
to the brunette type el women.
Sometimes I wear my tiara, but that is
only upon Mate occasions and court af

than add to tha charm of women, er, at

It Is ths former, which must have flrat

Calls of obligation must be made
upon one's ostess after an Invitation
to a breakfast, . luncheon. muslcale,
dance, dinner, or any entertainment;
upon the bride's mother by every guest
soon after the ' wedding reception or
breakfast, ane) later upon the bride;
upon the, bride's mother Immediately
atfsr the wedding, by those -who have
served aa bridesmaid, maid of honor,
uabar or best man, and upon the bride
aa soon aa she has returned from tbe
honeymoon. One should also call upon
a bereaved family Immediately upon
hearing of a death, and again after a
funeral, but these consist simply ot an
Inquiry and the leaving of a -card. ..
. A thoughtful hostess will call upon
a woman who Is not personally known
to her, but 'to whom she has been
asked . to send an invitation , for a
friend before the Invitation is dee
patched. These are not calls of actual
obligation, however. . .-' ?

- One -woman recently ' had a sampler
framed exactly as one would a, picture.
For It she selected a convex mahogany
molding about three and a half Inches
In width Which harmonised most hap
pily with the needlework and canvas.
It npw - ornaments the wall of her
library and is an Inspiration to many
other women with similar relics.
' It is not always easy to secure ma

pretty and Inexpensive. - One woman
who haa been searching the town over
for a fabric combining the two-qualities
was almoat In despair when a
friend, -a decora ton auggeated that she
get' mocha canvas for her sleeping
room - doors and velveteen In a soft
reseda ehnde for her library doorway.

The canvas la loosely woven and re
sembles burlap in appearance, though
much eofter and .hangs much more
gracefully.. . It costs to. cents a yard
and la very wide. The velveteen, which
Is also "double wldtrq-can be- obtained
In a number of soft colorings and whlls
handsome la not so rich looking that It
kills everything else In the room. It
is especially effective with mahogany
or dark oak and with Circassian .wal

A woman -who has had the good for
tune to retain - two servants In her
family, one for 2 years, and the other
for It years, was asked recently, In the
presence of her busbaad. what was the
secret of her. success. JVhlle she waa
ruminating on the question, her hus
band answered for her:
"Thai'" y," remarked the mere
man.- . "All that' is necessary la to let
the servants run - you as they have
done my - wife and yna will have no
difficulty In keeping them forever,
there's, no. trick about that, '..'..
A Japanese woman haa discovered a
way of biding from alght , the ugly
sieam radiators, inevitable in flats. A
cabinet, tha face of which I grill work,
Is built about the radiator, the top be
lrrg utilised as a shelf for pieces ot
china or bronse, or It may take , the
place of a stand for newspapers and
magasines. - . . ..
, In one room a radiator, which waa
very low and extended across an entire
side of the room, was covered by a low
settee of matting. - The front has slid
ing doors of Japanese wlckerwork In
summer, while la winter the doors are
pushed back allowing the heat to es
cape through a delicate partition ef
grill .work. The idea can be adapted
In a doien different ' waye and with
different materials, but Is always af
fective In that it transform an ugly
necessity Into a practical bit of home
furnishing. ....
Artificial grape played an Import

decoration recently seen. The entire

bunches Of green and purple grapes, la

paper shades. ' For a centerpiece a baa

In considering the question of house

'That the demure maiden of the day

by a number of tha valentine now yel

of a folded piece of cardboard, on-the
cuter portion of which is a hand-painted
view of a church and the Words:
"lt Hymen's Jbandth happyknot' en

And I will prove a faithful valentine."
Upon lifting the flap of this labor of
love there le disclosed a view of the In
terior of the church., with Flora and
John, duly labeled, standing before the.
altar. Anything further would appear
to be superfluous, but nevertheless,
there la a postscript as follows: - "Be

. Women Who Buy Titles. 7- -
In an addresa entitled "Money and
Matrimony," before the Ethical Culture
society of Boston ' tr John- Orshsm
Brooks of Cambridge, Massachusetts,
made an attack on money and It mis
uses. He called attention to th as
serted endeavors of wealthy families to
purchase titles snd then to their peti
tion to th divorc court.
"Heiresses,", the speaker declared,
"knowing naught of th meaning ot
their money. It, purpose or whence it
came, go into th title market and buy
a husband Just a they would go lntj
a horse or a dog show and buy a blue
ribbon. The man and what he la or
what he stands for figure not at all In
the transaction; It Is ths title they are
after; tbe title I or sale, and they get
It In the light of recent events, tbe
Inevitable result of - such a use of
money need aot be recited."
- Dr. Brooks mentioned no names, but
It was plain that he had hla mind on
the .recent disclosure concerning th
marital trouble of th Countess Bom
ds Csstellane. ths Duchess of klsrl
borough and other ' American ' young
women . who have Invested their In
herited wealth In what he termed
bauble tltlra." -
"Such marriages are a degradation to
society," the apeaker added, "hot so
much aa they relate to the Individuals,
but because of the children who will
be a part of the social system of tbe
future.
"The purpose of the msrrlatre should
be preservation, and mora, it should
be race development and perfection. It
