New York authoreSS buys the most eX-

in loose punches on an ottoman, side
table and foot rest, to be gathered up by
the hali-dOZen or so and handed to her
women friends as they depart from one
of her teas. Such a favor often serves
as the corsage boquet that evening at
theater or reception. and is sure to be
appreciated Another pretty fancy Is
to have in the reception hall wheel
barrow of gilded basket work to be filed
with roses for the guests to take away.
Strange as it may SOUND, the first time
certain host attempted this, with
out arranging them in punches, she
was deeply chagrined to find that
so greedy had been the first corners that
none were left for the last. After that
she saw to it that punches of three or
four were tied together with narrow
ribbon bow. Since Mrs. AStor has been

everything else, narrow bands are pre-
ferred to wide ones. The Medici collar
on this cloak is not the ordinary one
that flares out stiffiy. but an improved
one. which is far more becoming, curry

Next, get from the dealer in fancy
hardware as many brass has hooks as
there are spokes in the wheel. These
should be rather heavy, and as stylish
in shape as you can possibly get.
Screw each one in the rim of the
wheel in the exact center and di-
rectly opposite a spoke, only be care
full to place them so that when the
wheel is hung upon the wall they
will all be plumb in the same direc-
ton. At the back, also in the rim of
the wheel, strong ring must be fast
ened to support it upon a nail driven
into the wall. The hole that remains
through the hub of the wheel is easily
disposed of by driving into it nail with
a very large Tancy brass head, or brass
knob.
If desired, a row of small brass knobs
(knObheaded nailS) can be driven all
around the outer edge of the rim, giving
very ornamental finish to the whole.

effect you can produce; it is easily made
into handsome and useful article of

THESE GROUNDS ARE PRIVATE
PROPERTY.
NO TRESPASSERS ALLOWED
IN THEM.

There is nothing said about boiling
oil or electrOcution in case of disObedi-
ence. but every one is agreed that Mr..
Strauss is determined man and that it
is best not to run risks.
When Mr.. Cleveland left New York
with his family he stated that they were
going away for rest and recuperation.
and that he hoped no one would break
in upon their retirement. Indeed, he
limited that they would not succeed if
they try to do so.
But to do them justice the people of
Lakewood have respected the privacy
Of the Cleveland cottage. Very few
people have attempted to trespass on
Mr.. Strauss private grounds 1t is true
that more people are found promenad-
ing in the eastern sun-parlOr or the
Lakewood than formerly. and that rock
ing-chairs are at a premium out there.
But they go no nearer.
Friday morning these watchers were
thrown into quite fiutter by seeing
Mr.. Strauss double phaeton, drawn by
two bay horses, turn the corner toward
the cottage. Bets were laid freely as to
whether Mrs. Cleveland or Baby Ruth
was going to take the air. Expectation
ran high.
In few minutes the carriage came
back. with MeSeroe, the skillful coach
man. handling the reins with a SOL
emmity and dignity due to the impor-
lance of the OCCASION.
On the back seat of the phaetOn was
Mrs. Cleveland in smart tailor frock,
with her husband beside her. She was
chatting gayiy and seemed in the best
of health and spirits. Their drive
lasted over an hour.
When Meseroe came back to the hotel,

did not seem to thrive in the sharp
ocean breeZes which sweep over New

day with staff of four servants and
the baby and took possession.
All Lakewood turned out to meet
them at the pretty little depot, and a
hearty little cheer rippled up as Mrs.
Cleveland skipped out OF the parlor
car and walked swiftly to the carriage

that she carried herself with all Of her

that she looked happy and bright, and
not at all like the invalid they expected
to see, and that she smiled graciously at
the crowd which had come to pay it's
homage to the most popular woman in
America.
Grover Cleveland came next and he,
