publicans were not as demonstrative, but
Just as confident of victory. It is con-
coded the election will be close. The
most remarkable things is the increase OF

Learn first" says DeImonico in an
article in the November Ladies' Home
Journal, show to set q table. A round
table = better than a square table, il the
dining room is large enough to permit
it. II not. then the ordinary oblong ex-
tension table must be used. The round
table Is much more preferable and easier
to seat people a, besides it gives sug-
gestinn of tho famous liking Arthur and
the Knights Of the Round Table. Flow
ers should never be absent from the din.
ner table. No matter how hOmely, they
add to the picturesqueness Of the feast.
Let us see how table is set for FASH
ionable dinner party. On the table is
first placed a tLick flannel cloth, the
thicker it is the better, az it prevents
noise of the dishes as they are placed on
It. Over this is spread a snowy.white
damssk tablecloth, bearing the family
crest or coat-Of-arms. Sometime over
this is placed still another of elaborate
embroidery and lace, lined with pink or
yellow satin; az taste dictates or what
ever co'or is to predominant at the din
ner. The plates are first placed upon the
table. As these are to remain until after
soup is served, they are always the hand
soonest in the gold or china sets as the
case may be. Don't crowd. Each guest
should be allowed a pace of two feet or
twenty-five inches, if the table will admit
OF it. and the plates placed at equal dis
tances apart. Place two dinner forks to
the left Of each plate. On the righ1
must be a dinner knife aud q spoon for
soup. The glasses are arranged at the
right of each guest on a line with the
inner edge Of the plate. The water glass
is set next to the plate. Then glasses
for whatever other beverages are intended
to be served. A glass, whether of water
or any other liquid, should never be filled
more than three-quarters full.
