to have your name embroidered in a corner, ten cents to have it in
the centre, and a quarter if you want it left off altogether. (CECILY,
INDIGNANTLY:--"That isn't the way at all.")

ADS.

WANTED--A remedy to make a fat boy thin. Address, "Patient Sufferer,
care of Our Magazine."

(FELIX, SOURLY:--"Sara Ray never got that up. I'll bet it was Dan. He'd
better stick to his own department.")

HOUSEHOLD DEPARTMENT

Mrs. Alexander King killed all her geese the twentieth of December. We
all helped pick them. We had one Christmas Day and will have one every
fortnight the rest of the winter.

The bread was sour last week because mother wouldn't take my advice. I
told her it was too warm for it in the corner behind the stove.

Miss Felicity King invented a new recete for date cookies recently,
which everybody said were excelent. I am not going to publish it though,
because I don't want other people to find it out.

ANXIOUS INQUIRER:--If you want to remove inkstains place the stain

FELICITY KING.

ETIQUETTE DEPARTMENT

F-l-x:--Yes, you should offer your arm to a lady when seeing her home,
but don't keep her standing too long at the gate while you say good
night.

(FELIX, ENRAGED:--"I never asked such a question.")

C-c-l-y:--No, it is not polite to use "Holy Moses" or "dodgasted" in
ordinary conversation.

(Cecily had gone down cellar to replenish the apple plate, so this

should ask a young man in, it all depends on whether he went home with
you of his own accord or was sent by some elderly relative.

F-l-t-y:--It does not break any rule of etiquette if you keep a button
off your best young man's coat for a keepsake. But don't take more than
one or his mother might miss them.

FASHION NOTES

Knitted mufflers are much more stylish than crocheted ones this winter.
It is nice to have one the same colour as your cap.

Red mittens with a black diamond pattern on the back are much run after.
Em Frewen's grandma knits hers for her. She can knit the double diamond
pattern and Em puts on such airs about it, but I think the single
diamond i
