TONER IN MS WOrksnOpS, and treated harry
with marked coldness. taking little or no
notice OF his suggestions. But Harry thinks
he knows it al, and he persisted in a COIL
tlnuous fire of criticisms. 1t was plain to be
seen that the distinguished artist was fast
losing his pa fence. Finally, Harry got it
into his head that the tailor-made corsage
was too tight.
81 tell you, sir" he exclaimed. "this
dress binds her across the lungs"
'Sair, Eat ees eempossible," calculated the
little Frenchman in a towering rage. you
shall see sa,r; you shall congress yo.r
erreur," and making plunge toward the
bride, he deity and, with amazing quick
ness, unfastened half dozen buttons of the
offending waist, thrust his hand into first
one side and then into the other, twisting it
around and around, as he cried out: "You
see, my dear sair; l nevair make 70 wrong
meshy ure."
Poor Harry He stood transixed. He
couldn't believe his eyes, The mans action
was in the line OF business, and the husband
himself had provoked it. But oh, what a
shock to his sweet and poetic dreaming was
the LADIES' tailor's pIosy treatment of a
customer.
All the beautiful decorations on the table
Will amount to nothing unless the hostess
herself wears, as decoration, a charming
manner aud an absolute ignoring Of any

to her guests, says the Ladies' Home Jour
nal. If mistakes should occur it will be
wiser for her not to see them. If an awk-
wal d servant should stumble aud upset a
dish, she should be as equable as if some one
had only thrown a crown of roses about her.
While it is her duty to permit no guests to
be neglected, it is also her duty not to seem
fiuStered or worried, and she is the best
hostess always who manages to make people
feel most at ease.
Don't attempt to do too much unless you
have servants who are capable of carrying
out your orders. A simple dinner, well
served, is always better form than an eab-
crate one badly served, and with a half
cooked hos ess at the head of the table, In
vite people who will help make your di aner
success. people who talk well and yet do
not talk too much. Flashes of silence are
as much of an art in conversation as al Q
flashes of wit. Put together the people who
will grow interested in each other,
and under no circumstances yield to the
selfish desire of some young woman
who wants to be near somebody who will
not be interest ed in her at all. and who will
in this way cause a rift in the harmony you
desire to achieve. Have your table as pref
THY decorated as you can, have your linen
as Immaculate as possible, have everything
hot as hot as it can be, and everything
of serving anything tepid; and as for your
self, be as cool as your ice, as bright as tho
candle light, as charming as the flowers
and as sweet as the bonbons that mean
dinner is over.
Now, about your hands. Wash them,
says the Ladies' Home Journal, in hot
water, using almond meal inst ad of soap,
just before you go to bed, and during the

ha DIS told me that during the daytime she
wiped off any stain that might be upon
them with piece of kid on which there
was little vaseline. However, am bit
old-fashioned and prefer water to t lis.
Then, when you have the time, sit with
your finger-tips in bowl of hot water, and,
after they have soaked we'll, dry them and
trim the nails, keeping the skin at the base
of each down in Its place. Push it down
either with the end of soft ivory file, or a
bit of wood, but do not cut it off. Do not
point your nails and do not polish them too
much The first makes the skin supersen 81

the second and third are counted vulgar.
