LADIES' LUNCHEON.
How to Seat the Guests and An Attractive
Menu for the Occasion.

How to Seat the Guests and an Attractive
Menu for the Occasion.
At ladies' luncheon the hostess takes
the head of the table and places the guest
of honor at her right hand.
Unless cards are used, the hostess should
have so clear an idea in her own mind of
where each guest is to sit as to be able TO
direct them to their places without con-
fusion. 1t is not necessary for the guests
to go in in couples. The hostess usually
takes the guest of honor, and the others
may fall into line as they please.
Harpar's Bazar,. which is authority for
the foregoing, says that "a pretty lunch
might comprise bouillon: small squares Of
fried halibut and Parlsian potatoes; either
sweetbread patties, broiled chicken, or
lamb chops with green peas; tomato may
onnaisc salad, ices or charlotte russe or
some other dessert; fruit and coffee; sailed
almonds and olives as hors d'oeuvres. The
entree may be omitted if desired.

Method of Sterilizinc Milk.

To kill all the bacteria usually found in
milk-and there is always a wonderfully
great and diversified army of them-it re-
quires TO BE- heated a few minutes at about
pa dogs. F. A special steam steririzer Is
necessary to attain such high tempera-
ture. The same effects may be obtained
usually by boiling the milk about thirty
minutes. Heating few minutes between
l5S dogs. and lie dogs. is sufficient to de-
stroy temporarily the energy of a large
number of milk microbes, including sew
eral disease germs, but does not kill many
OF them, and is not, therefore, sufficient as
preservative means. This is the temper
allure (about l67 degs.), the application of
which is known as pasteurization.
The meteorological World, authority for
the foregoing, says that it is not only to
destroy dises Sc germs that sterilization is
indicated. Indeed, in infant feeding it is
chiefly to prevent the Initiative action of
acid produced by microbes or germs of all
kinds, whether truly milk ferments, patho-
genie bacteria, or organisms harmless IN
der ordinary circumstances.
Milk coagu lates, acidifies, under the in
huence or vegetative phenomena of various
ferment orgt nisms. The acid produced
has the most oaneful action on the delicate
stomach and Intestinal canal of the child
Sterilization of fresh milk destroys the
property of the germs before any acid is
produced by their process of nutrition.

THE HANDS,
The tributes of Beautiful Hand and
How to Secure Them.

| The attributes of Beautiful Hand and
How to Secure Them.
The chief attributes of beautiful hand
| as suny by bards and written of by novel
| lists in the description of their heroines,
seem to be whiteness, smallness or shapeli-
ness. The first and last of these qualifica-
tions can be acquired, although Dame Ma
| ture may have withheld the fairylike pro-
| portion so much admired.
Roushness, hardness and redness are
| often attributed to the male hand by writ
| ers. In Paradise Lost" there is ain allusion
| to ''his red right hand" Climate also has
| great deal to do with the color and text
| ure of the skin. 1t may often be noticed
what white, slim hands are possessed by
American and Anglo-Indian ladies. The
| enforced idleness induced by tropical heat,
or other causes pertaining to modes of life
and climate, certainly do produce these
white, slender hands.
A great many whitening applications are
on the market, some being highly Landed
Before. however, purchasing any unguents,
we would advise ladies to borrow some of
their fathers or brothers evening gloves.
For month or six. weeks these gloves
should be worn in bed. Apply any good
whitening preparation. after washing the
hands in warm water and using some good
soap. Rub in the whitening unguent,
giving al extra rubbing to the backs of the
hands. Anything of a greasy nature well
rubbed in tends to fatten, and so thin
hand can be made softer.
Draw the fingers out, and if the tips are
fiat pinch them persistently, making the
object of The process to obtain a hogbacked
nail. Careful manicuring, of course, makes
the nails themselves pretty, but excessive
manicuring is injurious. Lastly, draw on
the gloves, which naturally will be much
too big, and fasten them as long as no
sense of stopping the circulation is felt.
Glycerir and rose water, mixed in the
proportions of one-third glycerin to two
thirds rose water, is very good for the
hands. The great secret of success in skin
| unguents s to find out what suits individ-
ual cuticles and use it.
On going TO bed young ladies who suffer
from red arms and elbows, or that ugly APP
pearance like notified soap, should thor
oughly massage them with their toilet
cream or pomade, and then quickly pow
! der with any reliable powder.

A Chicken Story.

Very tame hens frequently show a desire
to talk in their way, and it is often posi-
bic to make out their meaning. Zone day
a Cochin hen," tells chicken fancier in
Golden Days, came and stood in front of

planned loudly of something / could not
translate further. Patient investigation
revealed that one end of her perch had
slipped down, and Mrs. Buff had no idea
of sleeping on an inclined plane. Another
time nervous little Leghorn met me at
the henhouse door, fairly screaming and
jumping with excitement. l understood
from the cackle which finished each SEN

nest. | did not wonder at her new powers
of cackling when l found the nest occu-
pied by cat and three small kittens.
When the chickens first begin to move in
the egg, just before Matching, the mother
hen sings to them n low, grooming song,
very sweet and never heard at any other
time. A friend tells me that her canary
startled her one day by an entirely new
call. 1t was so plainly Come here-quickp
that she hurried to the cage to find big
cat, with its face pressed against the win
dow pane, staring in at poor Ned-a dan

"OLp Hoss," Frank Flint, is

''OLD Hoss," Frank Flint, is lying on
his death bed at his divorced wife's
home on the South side in Chicago, says
the Tribune. He was taken sick some
three weeks ego and has had violent
hemorrhage since, which almost proved
his death. Since that time he has been
unable to take any nourishment, and the
doctors say he will never be able to leave
his bed again. Many memories linger
around the name of Odd Hoss," as be
was known; memories that bring the
cranks back to the days when base ball
was struggling for popularity in its park
on the lake front. Flint was one of the
great catchers Of the decade, and TO his
work was due much of the success of
Larry CCrcorsn, whose remains have just
been placed in their final resting place a.

the wording Of the certificate, the small

On the tibia of their forelegs may be seen
bright, shiny spot, oval in form, which
has been found to be true ear. Old nat
uralists supposed these strange structures
helped in some way to intensity the pene-
trating, chirping sounds of crickets No
one for moment thought they might be
ears, and don't much wonder at it. How
ever, Sir John Lubbock and other modern
naturalists have decided that crickets, bees,
ants and other little animals shall not keep
their sense organs a secret from us any
longer; and although these are often in the
least suspected places, still by careful ex-
periments they are sure to be discovered,
