A lamp is the popular wedding gift. A
young bridal couple recently received
seven table lamps in one day. The gift is
really pretty piece Of furniture. II the
shades are not to ones liking it is sn easy
matter to have them changed.
Preserved roses made with a rich sirup
and put up in small packages, of a dozen
boxes, sell at s.. The boxes are her-
medically sealed, and the contents used on
bread and butter sandwiches, tart cakes, or

II you don't like your name, change ii.
II that is impossible, veil yourself in mys-
terry and eliminate the hateful Annie
Martha, Frances Jessie, Mary or Cora that
is so Questionable. Be Miss Terry, Miss
Chief, Miss Fortune, Miss Take Or Miss
Nomer, but keep the world from knowing
your baptismal name.
So much money, time and attention are
lsvished on the dolly that il seems useless
to strive for the possession of pretty plates.
Those used in the center of the table for
crackers, waters, rolls, bread, fruit, or con-
serves are first covered with q dolly large
enough and so close in grain as to conceal
the decorated design. The tendency is to
cover up the pretty decorations, for with a
salad the plate is laid under lettuce; II the
course is s cream or ice a mass of spun
sugar is first laid on the plate, and with
fruits there is background Of leaves or
rose petals. The only time one is certain
of the privilege of studying plate is In
the soup course. Then the brim is always
or display, and the elegant host never
serves more than the quantity necessary to
fill g chocolate cup.
a boot with Dongola top, cursco vamp g,
and patent leather tips, sold at s., is the
best for this season that the trade can offer
for general wear. Better shoes are TO be
had, but, anticipating the rainy weather,
it is en- extravaganza to pay more money
for street shoe. Unlike the mems foot
gear, ladies' fine shoes are ruined by the
rain. Where rubbers are held in abhor-
ence the best plan is to buy custom-made
boots, in which the material is especially
adapted to slush and water. Properly
made, q boot Of this sort will retain its
shape to the last. There is no wisdom in
| fTeighting the feet with double soles and
heavy upper, and thrusting rubbers over
I all THIS leather. With rubbers one needs a
! very light boot; otherwise locomotion be-
I comes punishment. A very stylish boot,
now in stock, is modelled on the last of the
! gentlemen's street shoe, being laced in
| front over top buttons with silk cord. The
shoe is vRmped with straight goat, and the
/ uppers of addressed kid, give glove fit
/ about the ankles. There are half shoes Of
/ beach brown, maroon, scarlet, bronze and
black morocco, made with French heel
and pointed that is recommended for
house wear, being a great convenience, too,
| for carriage use. These shoes sell for s.,
and are the same cut that found favor in
| the east last summer among the fashiona-
| bic resorts.
