Woman Her Home, Her Interes.

Name for Girls' Club. About nine or ten girls, aged sixteen to eighteen, have formed a club, for which they would ' like to have you suggest a name. * N. C. If you had told me the object I could have given you better suggestions: If for pleasure only you could call it the "Merry Larkers," if for study and improvement how would you like ’Cresco” circle?” “Cresco” means to gfbw; or if for benevolent purposes I think "Willing Workers” ,or “Le'hd-a-Hand” Club would be good. Proper Hour to Leave. I am very much interested in your department in the paper. Will you please be kind enough to help me? lam twenty-six years old. lam very much, interested in a boy friend and he in me. When he comes to my home how long should he stay in the evening? At what hour would be the proper time for him to leave? MIDGE G. Tea or half-past is usually considered late enough for a man Xo remain when calling and he is the only visitor; of course there may be exceptions to this rule, but it is a pretty safe one to follow. Of. Interest to Young Men. Will you please give me an idea as to a few subjects that are entertaining to young men? R. E. N. My. dear, it all depends upon the young man as to what you will find an interesting topic of conversation. Some like football, others golf, some are camera fiends or Others are bookworms; just cleverly find out what the particular chap likes and then get him started and you listen and be will think you are just fine. From a “Country Lass.” I am a little country girl, eighteen years old and desire very Tnuch to follow the styles. Are hairnets worn now? Is it proper to travel on the train with, ribbon on the hair? A CONSTANT READER. Hairnets are worn if necessary to keep neat or if you are going on a trip in , a high wind that will be apt to blow your tresses hither and yon. I think for every day that nets do not as a rule improve one’s appearance. If you are accustomed to dress your hair with a bow it is perfectly correct to wear ribbons when traveling, but they should be of black. —" '"1 1 >• Reply ( to "Undecided.” As I am young I would like to ask your advice. Are the girls supposed to ask the boys to accompany them home or should the boys offer to accompany them? Is it proper for a young girl to sit on the porch with a young man after coming from the theater or other places? Is it proper for girls of sixteen to write letters to boys in another town, and if not may they correspond by postcards? UNDECIDED. Girls never ask the boys to see .them home. It is the place and privi-

lege of the masculine gender to do this. I think after the theater is rather late to sit out on the porch unless on a warm evening and when other members of the family are up. I see no. harm in a friendly letter or an occasional postcard to boy friends who are out of town, provided “mother” does not object Football Spread. The captain of a popular football team is going to entertain his ’leven after “the game,” and here is the way his Noting mother has planned it The team’s colors, orange and blue, are to predominate and will be in evidence in huge tarlatan bows on the backs of the chairs, alternating "orange and blue.” The centerpiece win be a large football filled with yellow chrysanthemums, and the individual favors will be small footballs, The place cards will be of brown cardboard cut In shape of footballs with this quotation: * 'I have prepared a feast; lay on.
