to meet him on the street every day.
Will you also tell me where the
napkin and fruit spoon are to be
placed on the table?
It Is always the place of the woman
to show the first signs of recognition
and I think it would be only polite for
you to introduce yourself to the boy
as his next door neighbor and speak
when you meet him on the street.
Then it would be his place to call
upon you after that.
Napkins are placed a bit to the
left of the plate, and the fruit spoon
may be placed across the top of the
plate or at the right hand side, with

A Variety of Queries.
Will you please answer these ques-
tions for me? I will appreciate it very
much.
Is it customary for a young man to
meet a girl's parents the first time be
calls on her?
How Is the best way to treat a man
that has gotten too familiar with a
girl?
How must a girl act to make boys
like her?
I am twenty-one and weigh lit)
pounds. Do you think I'm the right
weight for my age? W. W. W.
It is customary and polite for a man
to meet the parents of a girl on the
occasion of his first call. If a girl
has permitted a man to be familiar
it is her duty to stop it and tell blm
why. If he does not respond to her
request and behave himself as a gen-
tleman should she must cut his ac-
quaintance entirely. The only safe
rule Is "hands off" and then there are
no heart aches or regrets.
An amiable, thoughtful girl is more
than apt to have friends among both
girls and boys. Your weight depends
largely upon your heigbt. I would
ratber be too slender than too stout.
I should judge you are Just about
right.
Plans for a Party.
We are planning on giving a party
for about eigbt couples of young peo-
ple, and would like to have you tell
us some new way to entertain them.
We do not wish to play cards or
dance.
Thanking you in advance for your
kindness. "CHUMS.'
As long as you do not play cards or
dance I do not see much left bes'dea
guessing contests, music or charades.
Perhaps some of the schemes outlined
In today's department may help you,
as they are for the special occasion*
that this month brings.
8mall Sarah, observant and impres-
sionable, ran Into the house, excited
and out of breath. She had been call-
ing at a neighbor's bouse.
"Oh, mamma!" she exclaimed, "I
thought you said the Smiths wers
very, very rich!"
"So I did. Susie," the mother re-
plied. "The Smiths are understood
to be worth millions."
"Mamma," said the child. "I don't
believe a word of it I think they ar
very poor."
"Why, Susie." remarked the aston-
ished mother, "how did you get such
an Idea Into your head?"
" 'Cause I saw two ladles playing on
a piano at the same time," was Susie's
response.
"That's often done," mother ex-
plained. "The ladles were playing a
duet."
"But that wasn't all, mamma. Mrs.
Smith's hat looks for all the worTd
like her kitchen colander trimmed,
and Georgie Smith was wearing his
father's trousers."
"Why, Susie," commented the moth-
er, "how you talk!"
"It's true, all the same, mamma. I
know they were Mr. Smith's trousers,
'cause they were so long for Georgie
that he had 'em turned up at the bot-
tom of each leg."
Small Sarah was unfamiliar with
trousers adorned with "cuffs."

BEAUTY IN PRACTICAL FORM
Roadside Fruit Tress Produce an An-
nual Revenue of $400 to
the Mils.
Where th* roadside fruit trees aro
most successfully grown and the con-
ditions are more 'avorable, the re-
turn from the fruit which is gathered
by the public authorities and sold at
auction, has reached $600 to the mile.
Where the yield Is only fair it is nev-
ertheless well worth while as a source
of Income.
In addition to this money return the
roads are made extremely attractive.
In the spring they are lined for long
stretches with trees covered with
blossoms. In the summer and espe-
cially In the fall, the fruit growing and
ripening Is nearly as interesting and
attractive as the blossoms of spring.
And all through the season for foli-
age the highway trees are nearly as
uBeful at any other trees would be
for shade.
It Is true that pears, apples, plums
and cherries do not grow on trees
which attain such dimensions as the
finest maples and elms which shade
American streets and roads and some
fruit trees are too short lived to
be available. That Is emphatically
true of the peach. But In this coun-
try the well-Bhaded country road is
the exception, not the rule. By far
th. greater part of the typical
American highway Is devoid of shade
trees.
In every such case to plant and care
for fruit trees, preferably apple trees
because they grow to large size and
because they have thick, fine pollage
which they retain until late In the
fall, would be clear gain. It would
not be a substitution but an addition
of great interest and value.

Stre«l Cries in Minor Key.
"Street cries are nearly always in
the minor key," says the Paris Jour-
nal des Debats. And an English com-
mentator avers that this key is main-
fered as the ultra-fashionable silk fab- tained in our own street cries—such
rics for the coming season. Glace as "Sweet Lavender." And he thinks
chiffon taffetas are in the ultra style. | the explanation Is that the minor key
involves less strain on the throat that
has to emit the same cry all day long.
But London cries are few of them in
the minor key of the Parisian boy
who heralds the evening on the boule-
vards with "Volla Le Soir." Our own
newspaper boy has cultivated the rau-
cous monotone that collects politics
and murders Into one simple yell.
There Is nothing of the minor key
about the milkman's announcement.
And perhaps the leaBt musical of all
cries is that of the man who hawks
coal about the street. He does not
shout "Coal." No stranger would sus-
pect him of coal. He emits only a
