STYLES IN CHINAWARE.

Unless Money Is No Object Novelty Is to Be
Avoided-It Soon Gets Out of Fashion
Square Forms Arc Undesirable-Color
Effects.
WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPArcH.I
If the best china set in the cupboard must
last for years it should be chosen to keep in
fashion. To this end seek in what is FASH
ionable to-day those qualities that have per-
manence. If you do this you may have
china set that is always in taste, and that
will not for long period be wholly out of
fashion. Novelty will not remain, OF
course, but one must not choose the novel
to begin with.
In makes of medium priced chinathe pop
ular choice lies between French and En-
glish wares. By medium priced" mean
set in the neighborhood of 500. Both
these makes have their charms, and each
has its special virtues. The English is ro-
bust aud substantial; the French delicate
and fragile. 1t would seem as though each
expresses the temperament of its makers,
and it is not uninteresting to note that, ac-
cording to the merchants, the one which ap-
peals most strongly to the taste of Ameri-
cans is the French.
The French Seems Moro Costly.
The cost of the English is greater but II Is
said to far outwear the French; on the
other hand, if the English does not easily
nick, it turns black along the fracture
when it does, while the French, though

woman of wealth puts in q good deal Of
time with her Irish and Hungarian and
Swedish classes. In this they are doing
good work. Their chief failure though IL in
the discipline, which is matter that re-
quires great study.
1t win be seen from the few points pre-
sented that women of wealth do work, and
work hard. Why, even the young girls, in
order to reach their goal of marriage
though perchance the daughters OF wealth
have to work hard in society, to keep
themselves in condition for the marker.
They have to work over their compilations
with balms and lotions. They are COM
PEELED to exercise to bring out their points
They have to give no end of time to drum
ming on the piano, and taking lessons in
French. They have to toll over the various
fads, and in fact have no such lazy life as Is
pictured by the common mind.
With the advancement of women in edu-
cation and power to think will come reforms
in the methods of the working women of
wealth. That power is going into the hands
of the women of mind becomes more and
more evident. No woman of wealth on this
continent commands the influence that does

spending week. with friends and ''beg-
ging" vigorously.
One day, while General Grant was in
Washington on business with the Presl-
dent, he was driving with some gentle
man on Pennsylvania avenue, when he
saw Just in front of the horses, in the
middle of the street, a sunny-faced woman,
waving both hands and calling at the top OF
her voice: General! say General!
The horses were pulled up suddenly.
The gentleman who was driving said hur-
riedly: "Who in thunder is that?' but be-
fore the words left his lips, the General,
with a hearty smile, leaned out, exclaiming:
"Why, Mother Bickerdyke! How came
you here? left you with the Army of
Tennessee! What do you want?"
"Pickles"
"Picklesv repeated the General.
One Authority Grant Had to Obey.
eyes sir, pickles! my boys and your boys
man want to-davi We need 500 barrels
shipped South this minutel''
"All right, mother!' responded General
Grant. "Pickles you shall have, and right
away, too. Go back to the boys; they need
you!'
''Thank You, General I'll be there IN q
few days. I've had blessed tripk Fruit,
vegetables and now pickles! God bless you,
Generalr'
With wave Of her hand, toss Of her
fine, handsome head, and the kind of smile
that went through the hearts of her sick and
dying boys, she turned away, satisfied with
cher general"
The gentleman from the State Depart
ment, who rode beside him that day,
laughed at the whole affair. General Grant
simply said: Its no laughing matter.
When Mother Bickerdyke wants anything
it has to be found, and that. too, in a
hurry. Sherman and I fall in. double
quick, when We hear her voice. She's
worth more to US down there than dozens of
officers, nurses or whole sanitary commits
sions."
And that night more than 500 barrels of
picked cucumbers, onions, beans. cabbages
and tomatoes were shipped from the capital,
by order OF General U. S. Grant, Com
mander-in-Chief Of the Army. NJ. S. D.

The most delicious and unusual sandwich
for afternoon tea is one that little woman
who writes verses made, as she does her
verses, "out of her own head" And the
sandwich was as good as the verses.
Everybody knows that only one kind of
bread will make up well into sandwich;
bread that is neither too fresh nor too old
4S-hour bread will do admirably-it must be
firm, moist, even and shorn OF its crust. 1t
should, of course, be cut very thin and
spread evenly and lightly with butter that
is above reproach. Then there should be
layer of something appetizing put between
the slices. 1t is here that there is room for
genius. This little woman had the kind of
genius that 'invents messes," as she says,
and here is the mixture she evolved. She
made what is known as cottage cheese"
out of some sour milk and then she stirred
into the white crumbly mass sweet cream,
with little salt and peter. Then she had
some sprays of fresh water cress chopped
rather fue and stirred literally through the
substance, which was then just about thick
enough to spread evenly in the bread.
When that disposition was made of it,
the thin slices were carefully trimmed at
the edges, and piled on an oblong white
Dresden plate. And when the women
guests came, they said they had never eaten
such glorifed sandwiches and each one of
them took away the recipe in her pocket or
in her mind
