ancient danes of Buckingham who had
each a pet falcon, who perohed upon their
fingers and ate from the same dish. In the
metropolitan revival, however, il is a
canary, and the pet bird is taught to sing
at its mistress command aud to carry let
tiers in its bill from one room In the house

To watch two women promenading the
avenues of New York to DAY is certainly a
treat. L constantly hear that women of to-
day are not as graceful, not IS sensible and
not near as beautiful as their mothers and
graadnothers were, aud at the same time
this statement appears untrue il fashion
magazines, photographs and portraits Of
the past portray truthfully. Why the
dashing. chic, piquant American woman of
to-day combines all that is interesting and
fascinating in all the women Of the world
She Is clever, she is coquettish. she ia affec-

menus. Not long ago at Newport Mrs.
Astor found grievous fault with Mr.. Nc
Allister's ways OF wing entries. and now
Mr.. McAllister is diScoursing volubly to
the Four Hundred as to how they must
adorn aud fill their tables during the COM
ing dinner aud reception season. He says
soups and snails should never be used at the
same time, also that fsh and frogs legs are
very impolite, aud that Roman pudding
and French pastry for desert is way OUT

has a nice little waiting room, where en-

The winter season ser yes TO be chronioled

dinners, and set dinners l have made a
study Of them ALL aud come to the conclu-

of the most expensive nuts are sugared with
almond cream and colored in any color
