Then a congratulatory note may be sent. An announcement demands no reply. , The matter of wedding gifts is, of course, an unsettled question. There are a number of well bred persous who do not re spond to an invitation with a gift, believing that it is poor taste to send gifts to them whom they scarcely know bnt to whose wed. ding they may have been invited for some reason or courtesy. Of course the fact that one knows the groom rather than the bride mukes no difference one way or the other. It is to the bride that the gift is sent. An "at home" card inclosed in the invitation necessitates a call within the time named or, if one lives in a distant city, a card sent by post. For Sale at a Bargain. House and two Lots.

Hints In Regard to the Beautifying of the Farm, Looking at the grounds surrounding the farm and suburban homes through the country, the lnck of well-planned and well-cared-for driveways Is notice able; or, where kept In good condt tlon they far too often lead to the barn by the moot direct line of ap proach, with no apparent care for the effect they have on the pjace aa a whole. Granting that every foot of unnec essary driveway represents added Inhor, and admitting that it must be well cared for, or take from rather tli (in add to, the beauty of the place brings one to the same fact that must A beautiful homestouxlinf InttMmotoror a ImmonM lawn with no visible way of driving up to It, or to the barn, axoapt by driving be fared In securing anything worth having It means work. When considering the question of whether or not the work Is really worth while, the first thought is, nat urally, of the bealtlfying effect of the curved lines as contrasted with straight ones. Such consideration, If carried far enough, will show that spaciousness Is a fundamental element of beauty and that curved lines have a wonder ful power In seemingly increasing space If (note the "If") they are so carried that one cannot see the entire length of them at one glance. As every place has differing condi tlons calling for differing plans, this phase ,of the subject may be left with tbe suggestion that where rounding a Whore the dr! enters the crtrandt at either end of the frontage; circle In a broad sweep before the house and, In easy curve lead entirely around It, and to the, barn In the rear building is not practicable, a bit of special planting will break the line of view and is desirable, also, as a means of securing additional beauty, Viewed from the standpoint of labor involved, there is no denying that it requires more to lay out and make a long driveway than a short one and, too, the longer one must be a wider one, or look like a streak through the sod. When, however, the work of mak' ing has been done that of keeping in good condition Is not proportionately greater for the reason that in the curving, endless driveway, a home' made scraper, a steady old horse, and a careful driver will do the work with no greater outlay of time and strength than would be required to keep the shorter and nnrrower one In order by the power of the "man behind the hoe." Somewhat Cheaper. "Is It so, that you used to call regu larly on that girl?" "Yes; she always sang a song to me that I loved." "Why didn't you marry her?" "I found I could buy tbe song for 60 cents." . "Gentlemen of the Jury," said the prosecuting barrister, "this prisoner is an unmitigated scoundrel; he ac knowledges it. And yet, thanks to the wisdom of the common law, he has been given a fair trial by a Jury of bis peers." A Memento of the Departed. "I suppose you carry a memento of some sort In that locket of yours?" "Yes; it is a lock of my husband's hair." . "But your husband Is atlll alive!" "Yes, but his hair Is all gone." His Indifference. "What's your position In this polar controversy?"
