Your writing and punctuation are

a girl your age not having friends.
Just try being Interested In whatever

terms for answers, or something of
the kind. 1 am sure you will be

QUAINT LITTLE PEN-WIPER
Original Design Made to Represent a
Frog and Carried Out In
Green Velvet.
A very quaint and original little
pen-wiper this, made to represent a
frog. It is carried out in bright green
velvet; Is 3>£ Inches in height and 2Vi
Inches across the broadest part.
For the top of the pen-wiper a piece
of velvet is cut out tn the shape
shown in the diagram on the right
hand side, and upon It the legs and
\nouth are worked In yellow silk at
the points Indicated by the dotted
line. Then a number of pieces of ma
terial (almost any kind of thick ma
terial will do) are cut out exactly the
same size, and with the top piece
sewn together at the edges with but
ton-ho!» stitching.
cloth used. High shoes are always
worn by people of good sense In the
winter time for outdoor use. Some
persons prefer low ones with spats,
but they are not conducive to perfect
health. The man takes the lead al
ways in a public place, making room
for the lady who follows him. AH
colors are worn, perhaps all shades of
blue and brown taking the lead.
Reception Etiquette.
Is It customary In social circles to
take leave of the hostess when she is
receiving ladies at a large afternoon
reception or tea?
What does the inclosure of visiting
cards with the invitation card sl|*
nify?
When a reception is given in honor
of one or more ladles, should cards
also be left for those In whose honor
the tea or reception Is being given, as
well as for the hostess?
Would It be proper for an elderly
lady, who still wears her widow's bon
net, with veil, to wear such a bonnet
to an afternoon reception?
Is it customary to acknowledge in
vitations to receptions or afternoon
teas? —Holly.
It Is not necessary to take leave of
your hostess, but If she happens to
be free when you are ready to depart
it is pleasant to tell her how much
you have enjoyed the affair and say
goodby. A visiting card enclosed with
an invitation means that the hostess
could not make a call in person. Cards
should be left for all those in whose
honor the reception is given. A widow
may with perfect propriety wear her
mourning, for some widows never take
off their veil, and it is no reason they
should be debarred from social events.
If one goes to the reception no ac
knowledgment is required, but If not
able togo a card is sent to arrive
upon the day of the affair.
Announcing an Engagement.
Please let me know if it is proper to
announce an engagement at a formal
dinner party, and if so what Is the
proper manner of announcing it?—
A. E.
It is perfectly proper to announce an
engagement at a dinner party, and it
may be done by the father of the bride
or her nearest man relative or her
mother if there is no man in the
family. It Is quite customary to have
the place cards and favors indicative
of the happy occasion. All that is
necessary to say is the fact that It is
with pleasure the news of the en
gagement of Miss Brown to Mr. Gray
is announced. MADAME MERRI.
Long Shoe Horn.
Everything is made so easy these
days that one may almost dress with
out thinking about it at all. The lat
est luxury of the toilet is a shoe horn
with a handle nearly a yard long, and
one may step into one's new shoes
without binding the back at all.
These new shoe horns look very much
like golf sticks, with their long wood
en handles and copper ends. There
Is a leather loop at the top of the
handle, by means of which the shoe
hOrn may be hung up.
The feet are not sewn together, as
it is at this part of the pen-wiper that
the pens may be Inserted to be
cleansed. On the head of the frog
two small pearl buttons are sewn to
represent the eyes, and complete this
little novelty.
The best way to obtain the shape In
which the material should be cut out
is to sketch it first upon a piece of
pape- and then lay the paper upon
the velvet and cut that out.
Placing the Feet.
There has come about an earnest en
deavor on the part of women to place
the feet when walking, sitting, and
standing in graceful positions. There
Is no way to Improve an ugly ankle or
an 111-shaped foot, but they can be
made to appear to advantage If they
are handled well. The short, narrow
skirts have compelled this watchful
ness on the part of every woman who
not only wants to put her best foot
forward, but h%r foot forward In the
best way.
The woman who takes long, awk
ward strides is not at her best In the
short skirts, and she must moderate
them and Vearn to walk with her feet
close together and going out straight
from her skirts, and not out toward
the sides.
Millinery Race.
In Paris the large hats of white silk
beaver, faced with black velvet, are
running a race for favor with the
small hats of tiger skin.
Idea for Slippers.
A chic idea for slippers to elaborate
costumes Is the use of black chantllly
lace over white satin, or of silver lace
over black satin.

A very interesting house for a deep
narrow lot is shown in the accompany
ing design. We must build houses
to fit the ground we have at our dis
posal. There is more to this part of
the house problem than some of us
realize.
I like to see a side veranda or a
loggia sheltered by the house proper
and less exposed to the public street,
but never when the lot Is so narrow
that the side projection appears to
encroach upon its neighbor. You may
have a legal right to build clear out
to your lot line. You may have a good
many other legal rights that you will
find it better not to enforce.
1 know a man who bought three 40-
foot lots on » good residence street
and built four houses on them, houses
that compared favorably as individual
houses with other dwellings on the
street. But they didn't look right col
lectively because they api>eared crowd
ed. He offered them for sale at $3,500
each, but no one seemed to want
them. They didn't sell until he re
duced the price to s2,r>oo for the mid
dle houses and $2,700 for the outside
ones, prices which just about let him
out even. He made nothing and cheaiv
ened the whole street. His neighbors
made it so hot for him that he pre
ferred some other pari of the city for
his future operations and he hates
neighbors now. Hut it was his own
fault because he neglected to use good
Judgment in proportioning the lots to
the street and in fitting his houses
properly to the lots.
There is no hard and fast rule to
follow except to leave plenty of room
on the sunny side of the house and to
be decent with your neighbor on the
other side. There are so many styles
of houses and so many good house
plans to < .loose from in the various

styles that it should be easy to select
something to suit any lot, that is both
satisfactory to the owner and that will
fit the lot and the location.
Here Is a plan that provides six
rooms with all the necessary closets,

otipboards, cozy corners, bathroom,
etc., with a width of only 25 feet, but
the house is nearly 50 feet long. There
are other advantages in a house
shaped like this besides having it tit
and look well on a narrow lot. With
a width of 25 feet and plenty of win
dows on both sides there is not a dark
corner in the whole house.
The fashion of late is to have more
light in a house than ever before. It
has been brought about largely
through the recent tuberculosis agita
tion demanding more light and better
ventilation in dwellings. The living
room in this house has four good-sized
windows placed side by side. This is
a style of window that women ob
jected to when it was first introduced,
because they found it difficult to dress
up nicely with curtains. Hut after
studying the different arrangements,
unusual opportunities for artistic dis
play were discovered; so that now a
woman doesn't want a house without
such a window.
It is only fair to add, however, that
architects have Invented newiand bet
ter ways of building the windows. The
first ones were built with single sash.
Sometimes the sash were hinged and
sometimes pivoted. The theory of this
plan could be very nicely explained by

a clever talker, but in actual practice
the windows were kept closed to save
the curtains from sure destruction.
Since the plan of framing the windows
together after the fashion illustrated
and hanging the sash in the usual way
we hear no objection to these multiple
windows.
An interesting effect is secured by
dividing the floor level of the front
vestibule by the two outside steps and
two inside steps leading up to the gen
eral floor level. This idea works in
well with the front loggia, which is
walled in and is furnished as the out
door living room. In building a loggia
it is well to arrange it on this plan.
The posts are square and plumb and
the architraves are straight so they
can be easily fitted with frames for
sash to hold glass in winter or wire
screens in the summer time. Some
times when the position is somewhat
exposed it is desirable to leave glass
in one side all summer. Glass on one
side is a great protection to the porch
furniture, rugs, etc.
More attention is being paid to such
outside rooms every year. More elab
orate furniture and smart decorations
of different kinds are being manufac
tured to dress up such open-air parlors
until you feel that the comfortable
five-dollar porch rocker Is a sort of
poor old friend that you have to apolo
gize for. You can pay sixty dollars
for a three piece set of grass woven
porch furniture and the clerk who
takes your money will wear the Inno
cent sinile of youth and assure you It
Is the proper thing to do.
The cost of this stylish-appearing
modern dwelling is estimated at $4,-
000, using good materials throughout.
Trail of Onion*.
"On my last trip through the west I
struck a trail of onions a thousand
miles long," said the traveling sales
man. "It was spread by touring the
atrical companies. At nearly every
small town 1 stopped most of the
guests were members of some troupe.
The incense of onions was offered up
in their honor. At this time of Che
year nearly every actor and slngts> on
the road has a cold, and almost with
out exception they swear by onions as
the sovereign cure. Their predilection
for that remedy Is so well known that
as soon as a country hotel keeper gets
word that a company Is exacting to
put up at his house he lays in a supply
of onions."
Splendid Progre**.
"How is your little boy getting alone
in school?"
"Oh. splendidly. He t)as learned
how to model a bottle stopper In clay
and now he is taking ur tatting."
