He was a great swell, one of the affable,
polite kind, who had worked all his life
to get the reputation of knowing every
body. He prided himself on his tact, and
tlattered himself he knew exactly the
degree OF familiarity to extend to any Civ
en- degree of life. He was a great card in
the best society. He nevermade any mis-
takes; when he was not quite sure who it
might be lie relied upon his instinct.
He was walking in great state downthe
street, and a quiet, Tespectable-looking
man, Il man with u solid kind of business
airabout him, was coming up. Heremem-
bered his face; he was sure he knew him,
and he did not want to be impolite. The
man looked at him as if the recognition
was mutual.
That was enough. When he did any
thing he did it with all his heart. He
stopped and held out his hand and his
grasp was full of cordially.

dishes tiIily arranged for even Il morsel
of toast and a cup cf tea. Perhaps II
cloth o! yellow or pinlcor crimson is pro-
vided for this meal with napkins to
match. In that case the dishes ought to
he white.
Porcelain, by the way, is a matter OF
choice with tic lto1sekeeper. Fashion
changes beauty remains the same. Mum
berless forf3s and combinations of color
are always to be found, the choice de-
pending upon extent Of taste no less than
of purse. Every year there Isl larger
variety, since skilled native worklnen are
becoming more skillful still, and u
American wares now vie i'll every respect
with the imported and are less expen-
siYe.
Stamped patterns Of the wild rose or
daisy, or grass, or of conventional forms,
on ware of q good quality, can be pur-
chased very reasonable, with the COM
forting certainty that anything broken
can be readily duplicated. As for nieked
~dishes-those horrors Of Il sensitive eye
a fine piece of china had better be broken
and thrown away than be degraded to
kitchen service. The fitness of things
forbids such desccration.
No other meal so well shows the care
and thrift Of the housckeeper as the fam
ily luncheon. a little foresight provides
savory stew or soup from the bones and
remnants of meats and gravies, and
steWed fruits and patties, or the old
fashioned baked t%urn-overs served warm
on a cold winters day when the children
rush in from school asking for something
savory This is the case, where, unfor-
tunateIy, circumstances compel a late
dinner, if the father or other members
find it impossible to be at home at the
midday meal.
Let the table be ever 50 perfect, the
success of a luncheon depends on the CON
geniality of the guests. 1t essentially n
woman's repast. Those WHO know each
other too well arc bored in being brought
together in a formal way. Generally
some one whom it is designed to honor
becomes the cause of q conventional lunch
party, and no more charming way can be
found to introduce q friend into q social
circle.
TIL cup that cheers loosens thoughts
and sets the tongue in motion, and she is
not a woman who does not enjoy CONVEX
sation. The plane Of the conversation
will be upon the level of her thought, but

Those of mightier mold, who look
down disdainfully on n feminine lunch
party, would be surprised enough could
they listen, unseen, to many a modern
talk around the dainty board. Science,
ethics, philanthropy, art and sociology
have here found eloquent exposition from
those whose lips arc sealed in mixed
gatherings, or when u~nexhilarated by the
contact with those in whose society they
feel free from restraint and criticism.

TOO GREEDY.
A Lesson from the Conduct ola Barnyard

A Lessen from the Conduct ola Barnyard
Fowl.
There is perhaps as much difference
among birds as among human beings.
Some are wise, and some are foolish.
\ Scotch obseryerfurniShes an amusing
illustration of this. He was accustomed
to scatter br~eadcrumbs and other table
scraps about the door in cold weather, for
the benefit of the ~blackbirds, thrushes and
other like visitors.
A huge, feather-legged Cochin-C China
cock sometimes found its way to the par
lor window as we We're feeding our wild
bird pensioners.
When we threwout a platefulofcrumbs
and scraps, all the other birds gobbled up
their food very fast by going shrewdly
and sensibly TO work, each selecting bit
after bit of a suitable size, to be instantly
swallowed with little ornotrouble; wrens,
finches and thrushes taking only such bits
az they very plainly Judged were suitable
to their individual powers of deslutition.
1t was amusing, however, to see thestu-
pidity of the big C~ochin-China. lie greed
lily pounced upon some big piece, so big
that he could not swallow it, and rather

He would strain and strive to swallow
it till you feared he would choke himself,
all the time walking about in the snow
with uncertain steps, his eyesstartingout
of his head.
The idea never once occurred to the
stupid Cochin, that by taking smaller and
more manageable bits, he would be much
the gamer in the longrun; forwhen, after
terrible exertions, the bit in his throat
had at last become compressed and lubri-
Gated enough to be swallowed outright.
and he looked round for more, there was
no more for him.
The wiser wild birds had finished it all
up, even to the last crumb, Gndthe Cochin
China had to stalk about in the snow,
looking very disconsolate and foolish, and
yet manifestly unable to see wherein his
f~oolishness lay, for the next time he got a
chance he behaved in precisely the same

There was, in the next stateroom to one

"You sick, Sarah?"
