OLD LETTER M'LISS HAS FOUND
! I -
One of the "Best and Greatest Men Virginia
Has Ever Produced" Pens Amusing Ad
vice to Married Daughter
1TAS your husband staid out longer than you expected? ,
v'jO. "When he returns receive him na the partner of your heart.".
!fj Jto, jrentlo readers, this Is not my advice; It Is Instead an extract from a
In "Tho Ne-v Jersey Patriot," edited at Princeton almost a hundred years
" ?, Ila date la Starch 22, 1827. In a foreword tho editor saya tho letter Is from
! pen of ''ono of the best and greatest men that Virginia ever produced" to
life only daughter, who has Just been married.
I wonder If a man who penned such a letter In this day of grace would bo
tfescrlbed by such mild adjectives as "best" and "greatest"
"My dear," this old cplstlo reads In part, "you have Just ontored Into that
tate which Is repleto with happiness or misery. The first maxim which you
should Impress deeply upon your mind Is never to attempt to controul your
husband by opposition, by displeasure or any mark of anger. A man of sonso,
of prudence, of warm feelings cannot and will not bear opposition of nny kind
Which is attended by an angry look or expression.
A dlfferonco with your husband ought to bo considered aa the greatest
calamity as ono that Is to bo studiously guarded against. Besides, Trnal can a
Toman gain by her opposition, her differences?"
Not much, I am inclined to answer, If all tho men thought -with this "best
and greatest" Virginian. But to continue:
"lias your husband staid out longer than you oxpeoted? When he returns
receive him as tho partner of your heart. Has he disappointed you In something
you expected? Never evlnco discontent; recolvo his apology with cheerfulness.
Does ho when you arc housekcoper Invito company without Informing you of
R or bring homo with him a friend? "VVJiatover may bo your repast, however
ae&nty It may be, howovor lmposslblo it may bo to add to It, rccolvo them with
-pleasing countenanco."
Oh, la, la, la. It la to laugh. Can't you plcturo tho harassed lady, say with
three chops for dinner, two for her husband and ono for herself, bolng tho frugal
person that tho writer of tho lotter commends In one part of tho epistle, receiving
her husband with a pleasant countenance when ho arrives at the dlnnor hour
jwith thrco or four guests In his wake!
"Qlvo to your husband and his guests a hearty, welcome. Never bo dls
feontontod on any occasion of this nature."
This Is tho flrst tlmo I havo over known a man to doclaro a "hearty welcome"
ft satisfying substitute for a hearty meal.
Tho code of ono of tho "best and greatest men that Virginia over produced"
fef obviously that man is tho lord of creation and his acts the acts of a lordly
feeing of whom no criticism could bo offered; whllo woman, a sorvllo thing whoso
smltca should bo ready when ho Is In good humor and who should silently effaco
herself when ho Is not,
Fancy a woman descending upon her husband tho day before payday with
tho following announcement:
'My dear pot, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Brown havo run up from Wilmington
and wn'vo all come to your'ofllco so that you can tako us out to lunohl"
Would ho ravo? Lot tho wives who know tholr husbands answer.

One of the chief areumenta was that the

facts that aro known about Shakespeare do
not Indicate any of the superior qualifications

The letter which little "Serious Mind" ad

aoraei children are and how the most intense
Ealn can bo Inflicted on them by people who
ava no conception of what a delicate thing
the child nature Is. . ...
Teachers and parents and doting relauvea
are too apt to laud tho precocious child, who
is often Insufferably impertinent, as a coming
senilis, forgetting that history has shown that
lew of its really great men and women have
scintillated early In life. They have usually
been content to plod energetically and to burn
the midnight oil habitually tn order to achieve
their greatness. ........
It makes my heart bleed when I see

ARE you one of those odd little women
J who stoutly declare that they hate
formality and then the very next week
entertain a conventional dinner party t Of
course, you may not have a formal dinner
very often but when you do five one you
are exceedingly anxious that It comes up
to the canons of tbe most elite.
Vou confusedly ask yourself, "How
should the places be laid! Should the
lobster fork eo at the left or at the right
of tbe plate? Which Is the proper way
to servo the meat, have it carved at the
table or placed on the individual plates
and served from the kitchen?"
There are definite, invariable rules made
for formal occasions which, answer all
these questions, and to make ''everything
go smoothly" at your dinner you need
only to carefully follow them.
A table is always laid In one of two
ways.
First. For serving food from the table.
Second. For serving food directly from
the side table or tha kitchen.
In either case the laying of the table as
far as the individual "place" or "cover"
is concerned is the same. The word
"cover" or "place" includes a plate, tum
bler, napkin, and the required flat pieces
ot silver arranged in the order needed.
The arrangement of the silver varies
with the menu. It Is no longer the custom
to have a large array of forks and spoons
at each nUce, since wherever feasible
these are iwced on tne piate ana orougnt
In with the course. The general rules
are: ,
First. Put plate in centre of each In
dividual's place.
Second. Knives are always placed at
the right of the plate. In order of their
use, tbe onei farthest from the plats be
ing the flrst used.
Third- The soup spoon Is placed at tha
right of the first knife, the oyster fork
at the right ot the soup spoon.
Fourth. Tbe tumbler is placed at the
point or the knife nearest the plat.
Fifth- Tbe rule for forks varies. Borne
times all are placed at tbe left of tbe
piate, the one farthest from the plate
being tha first nee4ed. It Is also correct
and becoming mora, ana more tho custom
to placs forks used with the right band
only, m salad, pittk, and lobster forks,

Sports Hats
There Is no more room for novelty In
sports hats. Every possible Idea hns been
exhausted. Thero are all kinds of hats,
and no two of them are alike.
Take, for Instance, the Japanese sports
hat. It Is made of split lemonade straw,
with a Jap scone painted on tho brim.
The odd part of It Is that tho pieces of
the straw are set slightly apart, radiating
from the crown like tho spokes of a wheel.
Then thero aro the tennis hats. You
can't mles the fact that they aro designed
for tonnls, for the front of tho largo shady
brim Is decorated with two crossed tennis
rackets 1
Wool, beads and Bilk aro used for em
broidering tho other Btyles. Birds are a
favorite ornamentation, parrots In self
colorings are very smart. Scenes, too,
aro carrlod out In the most primitive way
houses, churohes, Btnall landscapes and
such things are limned In bright colors to
match milady's btrfzer.
Linen Vestees
Smart vests of striped linen aro worn
with navy tailored suits to good effect
The f jits aro frequently fashioned on scml
talU.ed lines with plain, fitted coats,
finished with a flaring ruftlo from the
raised waist lino. The vests make a
charming "cross" between tho severely
plain and tho fancy suit. They aro made
of blue-and-whlte, grcen-and-whlto, and
roso-and-whlto Inch striped goods. Hand
made buttonholos and smoked pearl but
tons are the sole trimming. This, by the
way. Is a "word to the wise" whon It
eomes to a question of refurbishing the
worn suit
Housekeeper Says
An ordinary catsup bottlo, with holes
poked In tho soft metal top, makes a satis
factory clothes-sprinkler.

the left of the forks.
Seventh. Bread and butter plates (never
used for a formal dinner) are placed

centre of the table are those containing
bonbons or nuts, which ndd to the at
traotivenees of the decorations.

First. Place all china and sliver at the
right of the person served.
Secorld. Remove all china and silver
from the right of the person served.

If you want to teach these rult3 to a
new maid convert them into shorthand,
so that she can remember them easily.
Place and remove all things at the right.
Pass all dishes at tha left.
Fourth. When host or hostess serves
a course at the table tbe. plates upon
which food Is to be placed should be
set one at a time before the person serv
ing, as piles of plates are considered a
breach, of good service.

HERPES, OR COLD SORE
CAUSES AND REMEDY
By "WILLIAM
HERPES, or ;old sore, occurs upon the
lower part of tho face, about tho
mouth, cheek or chin. Tho patient first
feels a stinging, burning sensation or Itch
ing. At tho same time a group of llttlo
plnhead-slze) blisters form. Theso nro
tilled with clear yellowish lluld, and they
aro surrounded by a reddenqd area of
skin or mucous membrane. Herpes may
comes upon tho lips, or upon tho oycllda.
Thoro may bo ono patch or several,
and sometimes a large area of skin is
covered with horpetlo eruption. After a
few days the llttlo blisters dry up into
a crust which soon falls oft and leaves a
red spot that disappears after several
moro days.
Upon the lips nnd eyelids, when mucous
membrano Is Involved, the crust Is apt to
leave a suporllclal ulcer which is vory
painful and irritable
Something like a thousand readers have
asked us to tell what 13 tho cause ot
herpes, and lh our skilful wny wo havo
evaded the Issue by springing Latin or
medical terms td cover our stupendous lg
nornnce. Unfortunately the authorities,
who generally servo us in good stead
when wo are thus pinned down, have
nothing to offor In tho wny of causes of
herpes, so we shall havo to give our own
little theoretical conception, and lot It go
at that.
Herpes or "cold sore" or "fever blister,"
then--the oracle now speaks Is a reflex
signal thrown up by tho system to Indi
cate, dumbly, that something has gone
wrong Inside. Herpes on tho face Is
almost a classical symptom of pneumonia.
Herpes on the cheek recurs again and
again In certain children whenever a tooth
becomes carious, and only careful attention
by the dentist will clear up tho frequent
and annoying attacks ot herpes.
Herpes on the Up Is a common incident
of an acute coryza or tracheitis.
Some people have an attack of herpes
whenever they Indulge In overeating.
A good many women have about 13 at
tacks of herpes annually.
The treatment is simple. The lesion
will clear up rapidly If left to itself. A
small spot on the skin may be protected
with collodion, or painted with compound
tincture of benzoin, or gently smeared
with zlno oxide ointment. Touching herpes
on tho lip frequently with spirits of cam
phor dries it up.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Canker Sores in Mouth
Please give some suggestions regarding
the cause and relief of canker Bores In tho
mouth. I Buffer agonies from this trouble,
and I meet many others similarly af
flicted, but no one appears to have any
thing to offer.
Answer faulty oral hygiene Is the first
factor decayed teeth, chronic Inflamma
tion or Infection of gums, diseased tonsils,
perhaps tn some cases to prolonged use
of antlseptlo dentifrices, to vlgorus brushing-,
tobacco. Toxemia from Intestinal
stasis Is another factor, whether you think
you are constipated or not Touch the
canker sore once each day with tincture
of iodine diluted with an equal volume ot
alcohol.
Second Operation for Goitre
I have had exophthalmic, goitre seven
years. Two years ago half the gland was
removed, but It only made me more nerv.
oua. I am also badly constipated. Doctor
now advises another operation. Should I
have It? Is It a sure cure?
Answer It Is not a sure cure, but have
the constipation properly remedied rst.

Clam Broth
Clam broth Is vory nourishing. A good
way to prepare It Is to place about a

saucepan with their liquor. Now ndd to
this a quart nnd a pint of cold water and
several sticks of celery. Place on tho lire,

ALINE VAN BAERENTZEN PLAYS
Younrr American Pianiste Gives Ex
cellent Recital in Witherspoon Hall
Aline van Bacrentzen has everything
that goes to mako up a great pianist.
Sho Is a remarkable technician and a
splendid artist. Her recital In Wither
spoon Hall yesterday afternoon complete
ly thrilled the all-too-small audience which
came to hear a "young player," but
stayed to listen to a master pianist. Such
playing Is remarkable In one so young
as Miss van Baerentzen.
The American pianist's technique Is
flawless. Her chords are full of power,
her legato playing soft and smooth, the
arpeggios limpid as those of a harp. But
perhaps the most astounding feature of
Miss van Baerentien's performance Is the
way she revels In the fast movements.
Take, for example, the final allegro ot her
first number, Beethoven's Sonata, op. 57,
which she played faster than one usually
hears. Nevertheless, as the movement
progressed, she Increased the pace until
at the end her fingers whirled over the
keys with dazzling rapidity. This was
tho fastest playing that has ever come to
tha reviewer's attention. Vet each note
was given Its full value, the chorda re.
-talned their individuality and the pianist
gave aue attention to the composer's di
rections for expression.
In four selections from Schumann's
"Funtaslestuecke," Miss -van Baerentzen
showed her highly developed interpreta
tive ability, One forgot her technique
here In the presence of a fine understand
ing of the composer's meaning. Brahms'
"Variations on a Paganlnl Theme"
brought the pianist back to her favorite
field of virtuosity. A Chopin group and
a Liszt group completed the program.

his work, composed tho current yenr. It
Is written In the conventional four move
ments of tho sonata form and consists of
an Allegro anlmnto. Andante con moto.
Scherzo allcgrlsslmo nnd Allegro con fu
ocd. Tho melodic Invention Is fluent and
Interesting, nnd tho parts aro compactly

speaks both of inspiration and scholarship
and la of high credit to the still very
