USEFUL HINTS.
If a young mail calls in the evening and stays too late (asks "Posy" in the "Ladies' Home Journal"), how may a girl let him know; that it is time to'go home? The advisory lady answers:—Yours is a problem ■ that many girls would like to have solved. If, there is a clock in the room, let ; your ej-es stray toward it -at ' short intervals. Allow the . conversation to flag. . Show less animation and let .your .interest in his'con- ". vor'sation appear a little perfunctory. When all these failed, .one girl said "I' ; am enjoy- ;, ing yodr call very much/ but I have a father who, holds as an article of faith that a house should be closed'at *11 o'clock, so —won? t you cqme and see me again soon ?" . Another question'put to' the samo authority is : _When a friend, is visiting me and acf quaintances of hers call upon ■ hor, should I remain in the room ? The answer runs: You should remain from ton to fifteen'minutes, and then.make some oxcuso 'to withdraw, at 'the same time expressing pleasure at having ; seen them. The French Have a proverb, "The friends of our friends are our friends."
