over one favorite friend only to pass
another aequa.inten'e by coolly. The
woman who would show any preju-

this way to indicate to your other

that would be a breach of hospitality,

The question is sometimes asked by
young girls: "When I am making a
formal call what sort of chair should
I select in the drawing room? Is it
incorrect for a young woman to take
an easy chair?"
I believe it is considered presuming
by some persons for young women to
take the louhge or "sofa" in the draw-
ing room of an older woman. How-
ever, they need not take the most un-
comfortable cheer. The thoughtful
hostess, seeing her guest in a straight
small chair, will ask hereto take a
more luxurious one, "Do take this
chair. It seems more comfortable,"
she might say. But if the guest de-
clines to take it there the matter
should drop., It is in bad baste to
urge the guest in this natter and if
.von do so you may force her to give
up a chair that is very comfortable
to her only to take a kind of chair
that she .does not like.

demand for osprey plumes, is, likely
to come to an end.
This woman has discovered a rafts -
flute which is now being so largely
sold that it threatens to pest the real
osprey feather from the market..
The substitute is really•tbe skeleton
of a poplar leaf, dyed or bronzed ac-
cording to taste. But it was only, af-
ter many months of investigation that
she discovered a.meane of converting
the leaf into the feather. "Dventuel••
ly," site says, "I 'discovered that in the
Gloucester Cotswolds there exists a
certain species of -snail of a very
minute type that will feed continu-
ously on the poplar leaf and on the
poplar leaf alone. I started a snail
farm and have now thousands of
leaves' which have been treated by
snaffle,
"They are very good snails, though
there are lazy encs and stupid ones.
They eat all the matter from the leaf,
leaving,i nothing hut the absolute
fibre, thereby producing a skeleton
leaf. When they are stupid and silly
they eat the fibre, and when tjaey do
this 1 give them to my blackbird, who
is a very old friend of mint"
After further experiments she ar-
rived at a permanent process of hard-
ening the leaf and gilding or bronzing
it, and she now sells many hundreds a
year.
