ETIQUETTE FOR THE VISITOR
Many Little Points That Mean Much
and Must Be Considered of
Importance.
A girl's first flitting from home sur-
roundings and restraint is a pretty
good test of her manners and true
character. She often deve'ops traits
that she berself was never before
aware of. How often to attract at-
tention and court popularity at some
summer resort the quiet sedate
maiden Btiddenly becomes conspicu-
ous and "sporty." or strangers may
have the efTect of making her self-
conscious and rude. She does not
mean to be so, but she often loses
her perspective for the true fitness
of things and a new environment
breeds all manner of unsuspected
qualities.
If ahe would only realize the wealth
of wisdom and the breadth of experi-
ence that a well-bred girl may glean
from traveling and meeting interest-
ing people!
She should never be cold and for-
bidding to strangers, but she should
also avoid the fatal mistake of rush
ing Into Intimacies which she will too
often regret.
A gracious manner and good tem-
per are charms which attract lnvaria-
bly and the natural sweetness of girl-
hood Is greater than any pose which
she may try to assume.
When visiting friends or relatives a
guest should adapt herself as well as
possible to her new environment and
bring no Jarring note or undue dis-
turbance Into the family circle. There
are so many little attentions that can
bring comfort and Joy Into a house-
hold! If a hostess feels that her
guest needs constant entertaining and
amusement and special service, she
will not wish to repeat her Invitation
so soon again.
Never be late for meals, be pleas-
ant to the servants, observe the per-
vading habits of your hoBt and hos-
tess, be thoughtful and considerate,
so that when your visit Is ended there
will be true regret, and there will be
a genuine ring In your hostess' voice
when she says, "Be sure and come
soon again."
Tbla very stylish bodice gives us
one of the best of the more dressy fash-

To cut such a piece of lace is out of
the question; a too short-sighted to
entertain at all. It may be doubled,
plaited or folded over, and laid over
or about a white hemp shape and
fastened to the shape with a band ol
handsome ribbon and rosettes of fine
flowers. Rich lace should be applied
to the shape with very little fullness

must be emphasized; therefore full

Note carefully these tempting prices. They almost compel buying. This week our Shoe Department has
been running full capacity, waiting on hundreds who have come to take advantage of these wonderful prices.
We have slashed the prices in the Clothing Department—there has been nothing reserved. We have cut the
price on every suit in the house. You do not have to be a judge of clothing to recognize the wonderful values
we are giving you.

The Quaint Poke Bonnet.
For the woman whose face can stan>.
this piquant bit of headgear, the eight
eenth century poke bonnet Is a mosl
fascinating affair.

On these hats the trimming Is, ol

times u great bow stretches across;

The crowns on these poke bonnett
are arranged fold-like and tilt well
toward the back of the head to accen

Luxurious Negligoes.
Some of the new negligees are hard
to tell from the transparent coats
which are displayed In other depart
ments. Between a pink chiffon bou
dolr gown, embroidered in self color
and dropped over a pink silk lining
and a pink chiffon embroidered coal
over pink satin, there was so little
radical difference that only one sophia,

The tucked shirt waist Is always a
favorite, and It Is sufficiently orna-
mental without the addition of any
trimming. The model illustrated Is one
of the best, the plain fronts being
joompletely covered with small, full
length tucks, arranged In groups of
two between the band closing and the
shoulders. In the back two tucks on
each side slant towards the center of
the waist and torm a shaped panel.
The neck Is high and finished with a
standing collar, while full length
sleeves fit the arm snugly and end at
the wrist In two groups of tucks. Such
rwash materials as linen, percale, mad-
ras, and pongee silk and also mes-
mallne, taffetas, satin challle and
cashmere are appropriate for this
waiat.
