"Tray why should tho mistletoe, bitter sweet, holly, Ho all for December to make herself even the darlings October bequeaths me, The dewy-eyed pansles, the frosts steal n way '.' I3rlght golrtenrod fain would havo tarried awhile, But flirt od her tresses, uv2 wan Is her smile. "There's April, with more than she cares for or uses.

How Ions 'twould havo lasted, this dol orous wnillnpr. No lino in tho Talmud our eye doth ac quaint; Had Plora not roused from her rest un availing. Ami sought to appease her, compassion ate su'iit! She'll fashion such visions of loveliness rn re That cir.ly dream-blossoms c. semblance, should bear. Sho snatched a few sunbeams.that laughed when she found them, And twined them together for heart of her llowor: She wakened tho wondering daisies and bound them, Surprised and affrighted at chill of tho hour. Tho most she left white a.- the, snowiest dove; Through others the sold of her own. locks she wove. The dusters she breathed upon blushed as tho loses: A few caught, but feebly, her eye's pur ple tone; bile who touched her lips as the color discloses, Forever retained tho rich carmine Its own. lint they that had nestled quite- close to hi r breast, Sott-iltittired llko birds with a plumy-llko crust. She rnbeii them In verdure, her choicest i-ri atlon, Then hovered above them. Inviting their clasp; They, snuggling to reach her, In smiling1 elation She ever evading, eluding their grasp. Hut why. when they reach their subllmest pi-rl'cction, Should Flora regard them In litter dtjec- tlon? Was this, after all, but a soulless forma tion ? A heart of chilled sunbeams, no perfume, dh inc? These glorious blooms, must they win ad miiution, Hut no tender longing la thy soul or mine? No senstioiiB sweetness 'round memory to cling. As the bieath of tho roses from childhood we bring? o'er the turbulent horns, go November, In rapture, presents her fair daughters, Through length and through breadth of our laud they hold sway, While far and away waters No princess receives greater than they. Yet Flora, a-weary, sinks back with re gret "Ah, had they thy fragrance, my wee mlc-nnnetto!" LINNIK IIAAVrt:Y DUAKR. Small bits of pasteboard are now appear ing In your morning mall that signify the returning home of your friends. "At home from I until li" sounds simple enough; but to tho uoman whose after noons In the season are not usually de voted to teas, lo whom the ceaseless "gig gle, gabble, gobble, git." as Dr. Holmes translates It, of these affairs It not a stale and oft tried recreation or bore, there comes a wee Mutter ot anticipation tut to whether It will be pleasant and what Is expected of her. What time must she go? How long ls It etiquette to stay? What must she wear, bonnet and veil? Must she keep on her wrap? These trivial Interrogations may be laughed at by the woman ot fashion she who has her tablet studded with memor anda ot dates "from -1 until C." that must bo kept for argus-eyed duty's sake; but thero are scores of others, whose busy lives have not seen tho way to social func tions, whom the responsibilities ot growing households havo kept away from even so simple a recreation for the past decade. All of us remember the pathetic sketch ot Mrs. Ihirton Harrison concerning the hall bedroom boarder's first tea; .Mrs. Harrison onlv drew graphically from life; there tire many to whom that little card "from 1 until C" Is an event, not an Incident. If It Is a casual acquaintance, If this Is your Hist card to the house, go about G o'clock and do not ."top, over thirty min utes; fashionable callers will not remain over fifteen minutes; It, Is, however, not a question of etiquette or time. A half dozen, moro buch visits wait their paying probably. You will wear a bonnet or hat, one that suits your best gown. A theater bonnet In bad form. What would constitute your reg ulation visiting gown is the correct thing. If you go in a carriage, that mode of trans portation allows you a little more freedom, in the choice of colors, but to be under- dressed rather than overdressed Is the least of the two evils. In such a hurry do smart women have to attend to these things that a tailor gown has become allowable at the biggest affair of the afternoon. But you have no excuse for thus dressing; put on. your visiting gown; don't buy dowers to wear, they are unnecessary; wear your best hat or bonnet (with tile cxceptiun noioro mentioned). Wear white or gray gloves; put on your veil and keep It on; wmr your best street wrap (don't think of a capo for such an oc casion), and will) your cardcase In your hand you aro fully equipped for social IJJ.IUL'. When tho butler throws open tho front door ho Indicates which Is tho dressing room; you go there, lay asldo your wrap, sen to it that the wind or ran has not spoiled your toilette and go to the re ception room; as you advance a man ser vant will meet you at the door with a small silver salver; you drop on this your card; ho reads It und announces your name. Don't jump or start, as you hear his tones, no one will notice tho Interruption, but your hostess, who continually has her eyo on ner uiiin servant, ion will niivaiice and shnke hands with her and then, If It is a large alfalr, 111 a large city, you will be allowed to take care of yourself. Your hostess will Indicate the reception table, where ungloved maidens will servo you In formally with whatever you desire. If the hostess has a guest receiving with her you will be introduced. You are not expected to stand tln-re and continue a con versation with either hostess or guest; they have no tlinu for that. If you havo to wander olf by yourself und be In tho Isolated position of ono who looks on and go hume, bored to exhaustion by the pto eess you will condemn society even more than before and class Its members as a rudu lot. Hut these laws of seeming In hospltallty aro well founded and you must KUOUI.DEIt niSCOKATIONS. blame youself that you have Ignored no clely before, und Ihereforo know no on in this gathering to talk with. Thl will lie the probable behavior If tho nrfnlr Is large mid formal. Hut there are hostesses who decline to send out morn Invitation than they can comfortably at tend to, should enrh guest accept; and, while you observe the same etiquette at such a house ns a formal affair, your host c will see to It that you do not jpend a bad quarter ot tin hour. Do not remove your glovei when enllne or do not consider that you mint sit doivn; yuu may ruin your gloves, but you must iiiuiK win gumo nnrin me canine, a the old saylnir goes. Do not consider It neces sary to cat nt nil, If jon will feel that It will be more awkward than before to stand there nlone and "g-obhle" without anyone to "gabble" with; under such 'tre. of circumstance!) it Is better to shortly "ult" and then Jou can "gtitgle" at your leisure In the bo-om ot your family. It two go together It Is Inllnltely plcosantor. It Is not neeetfary to bid your hontrs good-by, unless sha Is conveniently situ ated for your doing so, nnd you can catch ner intention. It Is still an undecided point of etiquette whether an afternoon tea requires a sec ond call or not; but It Is better ti err on tho sldo of courtesy nnd return It before ten dnys have elapsed. When yunr cards call for a series of teas, ns for Instance, that Mrs. ICdward Harding Is at home on Thursdays? In Jan uary, then no further call Is needed. She has Indicated to you that she would be glad to have your usual visit on that day. Philadelphia Press. ONE MCIKT FOIt A IVI.NTKIt. It atny Form tho rminiliitlun for Jinny nincrtint L'o-tuniei.

When an evening gown Is desired tho black satin skirt Miould have the gores outlined by a narrow Jeweled trimming. Then It may be worn with a frivolous chiffon waist spangled with Jewels. As u theater costume tho black satin skirt may appear ngaln In connection with a bodice of scarlet satin. If thin seems too gay for ordinary theater wear the bodice may bo toned down with black chiffon frills. For one's afternoon at homo the black satin skirt may bo worn with any stylishly mado silk waist. Peroliin silk waists ure much the vogue this year, and waists of tlowered taffeta are always charming. As a. dinner dress the black satin skirt may also be utilized. It would look well for mis occasion worn witn a notuco or black satin, trimmed gorgeously with gold gal loon and lace. Kvon for an afternoon's shopping expe dition the black satin skirt will not come in nmiss If worn with a walking coat of light tan box cloth. And after It has served a senson In all these various capa cities then It will do nicely for black batin sleeves In a next year's gown.

Another Important reason for ven tilation Is. that owing to the corrosive ac tion of sewer gas, the life or the wato p pe is greatly shortened If provision for the free circulation of ulr bo wanting or in- bUlllclUUt. Wo recognize a broad distinction between the .sewage from closets, liable to the most dangerous taint, should discus,, occur with. In the house, and tho comparatively in nocuous sewage that comes from basins, b.itlw iin.l sinks. Hume sanitarians go bo iar as to advlso that the two classos of .sewago snouiii ue Kept absolutely apart within the huuso by the use of a conipl. te double system of drain pipes (I huve seen such a one). This, however. I consider an extreme measure. Conceding, then, that the plumbing; of the house was perfect as may be, and the connection with the com mon sower made after the most Impiovid uf modern methods, the Internal care of the linings demand careful attention. Mul tiplying conveniences In a hulise by having vvush basins In bed rooms and dressing rooms Involves great risk, becau.se It places euch room in direct communication, thtough an ordinary trap. Willi the soil pipe. The bath room, with Its tub, closet and bowl, nnd the kitchen sink and base nient laundry, me Mitllelcnt for ordinary households, leaving the living and sbcplug rooms ptiro and sweet, uncontamlnated by lmpuiu air. In sleeping rooms nnd all over the house ono lmportunt precaution begins to Im press Itself on sanitary observers, tho ab solute necessity of keeping all sinks and waste pipes closed wiun not tn use. it is an oversight whi'-h has been fatal in count h ss unknown instances, to have those ducts of foul nlr always open, bringing tho worst air constantly into living and slcen- Ine rooms. The Infection of air, food and drink by this hitherto unsuspected cause Is frightful. Milk, or food for children, left in the bathroom becomes In uu in conceivably short time linpn gnated by nb-t-urptlon of tin- air given ulf by the waste vent, with deadly vapor. Cases multiply of diphtheria un. rilngly traced to lute thin in this w.i. If nillli cans be hi lnlctei, how much moro t the ulr, that delicate, ("iisltivo iluid which imbibes the deadlv vapor escaping from sllmc-hned pipes and deeper receptacles of waste! H Is only necessary once to Inhale the nlr from tho wastii vent of the moat sumptuously lilted porctlnlu bath to be convinced of this. Tim way to giiiuil against this encmv which lurks invisibly in our home.; Is in keep all drains cloned when nut directly in uc. Thu sink In the kitchen can bo scaled against foul nlr by icmovlng the grating sciowcii uvcr me waste pipe anu closing with a large lubber stopper, of tho kind used for bottles containing strong acids. A piece of bluing wire can he Inserted In the stopper for thu purpose, of temoyliig 11 iu vuipiy U4ie wilier. I think no part of tho house contains a greater menace to health than un open sink, owing to Its proximity to the pantry and household supplies. The lightness and freshness of the ulr Is vtry uppimnt 011 entering a kitchen vvluio the sink ls kept constantly closed; and food nnd mlk kept n tho pantry adjoining keep ftish much longer, as they ure not contaminated by tho air from the common sewer pipe Into tho kitchen. You may scald your sink and lush your waste pip. s dally, but owing to tho rapid decomposition of vvastu matter ad hering to the tldts of tho pipe, they urn al ways carriers of more or l sa deadly poison. The stoppers should always be kept 111 wash basins and bath tubs, and clean water standing over them, when not lo use.
