Chicago Record, 'a toe fi J - ntiqaette of Card aad Calla. YUitiug cards should be white, on glazed find thin. The name should be engraved in fine, perfectly plain script When the address is nsed, it oocupie the lower left hand corner, and when the reception dnv is also placed npon tho card its position is directly opposite. A miirriednvoican uses her husband's ful name cr initials (never an honorary rank or title) prefixed by Mrs., thus, Mrs. Charles Epps Elauk or Mrs. C. E. Blank. Directly after marriage a card engraved with the name of husband and wii is fre-qnently nsed, as Mr. and Mrs. Charles Epps Blank, and this caxd Is also much employed iu sending gifts, ucssagea cf congratulation or condo lence. When a household consists of one, two or more young dangbters about to enter society, the narnaef the debutante is engraved on her mother's cards. La; ei, when another sister enters tbe artuaof society and fashion tbe elder gill may have a separate carl, while the iiamo cf tho younger member ap pears opou tho mother's visiting card. When both girls are very yonng, fashion decrees and custom sanctions both names npon tho mother's card. An un married woman has ber visiting cards engraved with her name and surname. No abbreviation or perversion of the Christian nuine should be countenanced, prefixed by Miss, thus. Miss Ethel lilank. Thire are some exceptions to this form--when, for instance, there ire seveial daughters, tbe eldest is per mitted to dispense with her Christian name, and Lave her cards engraved Miss Blank, r, w hen there is an only daugh ter, the same rule applies. A widow's cards are bordered with black edge one-quarter of an inch deep It is engraved either as be-fore her bus land's death, using hie initial, or it may have he r own name, as, Mrs. Jo sephine Blank. The latter form is nsu jilly followed, as legally there is no longer a Mrs. C. E. Blank. Cards should always be left in person when possible. First calls sbonld be promptly r turned and shonld not ec cupy nirire than 15 minutes. Better to err on the safe side and make too short rather than too long a first visit. All invitations, whether accepted or not, demand a call withiu ten days. In call ing, a lady does not scud her card in if the hostess be nt home, but it is cus tomary f r tho caller to leave her card or cards if there be several ladies in tbe family, and if she be married two of j. r husband's, one being for the hostess end cue for tbe master cf tbe bouse. Future invitation and calling lists are frequently made tip from these cards. When spe-cial days aro printed on visiting cards, these days, as far as it is convenient, sbonld be observed in dis charging a social obligation. Cards of inquiry should be left in person or by special messenger with the words "to inquire" written across the top. In ac knowledging snch attention the words "thanks for inquiry" or something sim ilar should bo written across tbe top cf a visiting card and dispatched as soon after the patient is better as is con-' venient.

S. ste cnlock vd Mrs. to-acd-so's doer Bud assisted tbe man to push tbe machine to the freight elevator His wagon was waiting cutside, aud he drove away. Nobody evor heard of him nor of the sewing machine again, but tbe janitor's wife, poor woman, isn't nearly done hearing Mrs. So-und-so's opinion cf her yet. There' a woman out on North Caro lina avenue, southeast v.-ho is entirely too wide awake ever to Le taken in by any sncb transparent scheme as that the Baltimore thief need. One hot day one of the first hot days of the sniu mer a small boy came to bei house with a note. "Dear wife," ran the note, "send rue by bearer my straw hat and my thin coat. I am going to the ball game." The note was typewritten aud signed with ber husband's name, also type written, and tbe attempt to deceive was so apparent that tbe sagacious, wife gave the small boy uething at all but a wiib ering glance. She knew all about that particular confidence game. She has celebrated se leral birthdays. Iler hus band was a trif.e late for dinner that evening, and he had scarcely opened the door before she poured out to him, with pardonable pride, tbe tale of how aha had foiled the desperate robber. "Wasn't it thoughtful of me, dear?" ahe concloded. archly. "It certainly was," answered her husband you know bow disagreeable a man can be sometimes "it certainly was, and I came within an ace of get ting suuptrnek out there at the ball game in this darned heavy coat and hat. It was a little too blamed thoughtful cf you." And she didn't even speak to him for three w hole days. Decorated With War Trophic. There are still reminiscences f war in tbe air. Two nije girls who have warrior brothers, lovers aud friends have decorated a room with the trophies brought home by all these admiring young men, aud when friends are taken in to see it they are not quite sure at first whether they are in Porto Rico, Camp Wikofif or some other military enranipnicut. The walls iu the room are. in the first place, covered with cadet blue cartridge paper, which makes an excellent background for guns, swords, military caps and big pictures of military heroes Dewey, llobson and a ft' othe-rs lithographs framed artis tically by the girls themselves. These frames ire of the dark gray cardboard that is used so much for photograph mounts aud with a margin cf black painted on directly trouud tbe picture. These colors match the portieres cf the room, which are of a dark gTay wi:h bla'k stripes, and are nothing more or less than army blankets, which make most effective hangings. Perhaps the most attractive features of the furnishings are two beds placed side by side, simple cots with white canvas valances and at the beads point ed tent draperies of the canvas. At the head of each tent bed hangs what in an ordinary sleeping room would be a wa ter bottle and glass, but here, to be in keeping with tbe rest of the room, are a canteen aud a tin cup. Tbe dressing ta ble has a semicircle top draped with canvas, while over the minor thero is Diore of the pointed teutiike drapery. Over the bureau mirror is another tent ffeit. Above each tent are crossed Au.eiican flags. The flags relieve what might otherwise be a somber effect aud give tbe whole room a patriotic air. f b9 reeni may be a trifle too extreme to -nduie for long, but just now it is an gut let for the fee lings of girls who have oecu working for the soldiers all sum mer and now feel that their patriotism is rusting from lack of use. New York Times. French Thrift Too Thrifty. An English writer who has evidently suffered inveighs rather severely against the loug extolled thrift of tbe French housekeeper, which, if it be thrift, is, according to his notion, pernicious ecnuomv. lie considers liicag. r messes, served until the hist scrap is consumed, which make up the course dinner ejf the French people, most unsatisfactory and far from uppe tiziug. "It has been said," be quotes, "that a French housekeeper will serve -a grilled chicken foot, making it a sub stantial course. " This he denies not the service, but the substantial prt cf it. As to fie soup of the provincial French home, be asserts it is not a thing to be described by tho uninitiated, and it is certainly not meant for a deli cate palate. It tu.-tes like hot water in which quantities cf cabbago have been boiled. "Then," he goes on to aflirm, "tbe only dish cf meat will ofbu con sist of that which nai been nsed in the making of tho soup." This testimony is borne out by Amer ican travelers, who get very tired cf soup meat as a dinner dish. For tbe flavoring and finishing of a dish the French aro doubtless unsurpassed, but tbe allegation that the sauce, is made more important than tbe substantial and tbat the garnishing takes precedence over tbe dish it surrounds is not with out considerable foundation. The well known sto:y of the French cook who won a wager by serving a boot heel scraped aud stewed and simmered and finally served with an entrancing sauce is a good illustration of lunch French cooking.
