HOW TO SET A TABLE.
Deimonico Tells How . Table should
30 Set and Arranged.


LEARN first" says Delmonico in an
article in the Ladies Home Journal.
''how to set table. A round table
is better than a square table, il the
dining room is large enough to per-
NIT it If not then the ordinary OBJ
The round table is much more prefer
able and easier to seat people at; be-
sides, it gives suggestion of the IA
nous King Arthur and his Knights
of the Round Table A few prominent
society ladies still cling to the old
fashioned long, narrow table. Mrs
AstoT for example still uses that
style of dining table in order that her
famous gold dinner set may be placed
to the best advantage. Mrs. August
Belmont on the contrary, prefers an
oblong table, and the decorations for
an elaborate dinner are carried out to
make the shape more pronounced.
Flowers should never be absent from
the dinner table. No matter how
homely, they add to the picturesque
ness of the feast
Let us see how a table is set
for a fashionable dinner party.
On the table is first placed thick
flannel cloth, the thicker it is the
better as it prevents noise of the dishes
as they are placed on it. Over this is
spread a snowy-white damask table,
cloth, bearing the family crest or coat
ot-arms. Sometimes over this is
placed still another, of elaborate en-
broidery and lace. lined with pink or
yellow satin. as taste dictates or what
ever color is to predominant at the
dinner. The plates are first placed
upon the table. As these are to re-
main until after soup is served. they
are always the handsomest in the gold
or china sets. as the case may be.
Don't crowd. Each guest should be
allowed space of two feet or twenty
six 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; also an oys-
ter fork with prongs resting on the
edge of the plate. On the right must
be a dinner knife aud a spoon for soup.
The glasses are arranged at the right
OF each guest on line with the inner
edge of the plate. The water glass is
set next to the plate. Then glasses
for whatever other beverages are in
tended to be served. A glass. whether
of water or any other liquid. should
never be filled more than three-quar.

VANDALISM OF THE TURK.

The Turk has been for centuries
says Alfred d. +. Hamlin. writing in
the December New England Maya
zine, the most ruthless of the vandals
in classic lands destroying the most
precious antique monuments to obtain
lime and mortar. Much havoc of this
sort has been wrought in and about
Stamboul, but q wiser use has some-
times been made of ancient ruins.
Wherever bit OF medieval wall could
answer his purpose, he has made of it
the basement of house, thus subserv-
ing at once the interests of his purse
and of the picturesque. The frown-
ing manifestations of the old fortress
become the windows of his kitchen
and store-room, and upon their crest
his wooden walls perch in truly
triumphant fashion. Part of tho
walls of old Byzantium are thus
crowned with houses, and at Roumeli-
Hissar, beneath the windows of tho
American Robert College a whole vii
lage clings to the scarpments and
towers of the frowning Castle of o.
livion.' No odder or more delightful
confusion of beetling walls and COM.
ical houses could be imagined. The
tops Of the thick walls form lanes and
alleyways, leading down from level to
level by steep inclines or crumbling
steps. The crow's-nest houses stand
at every possible angle and elevation.

side of their lofty foundations and gay

that he ought to meet Mr.. Stevenson
and have a thorough understanding
In regard to the matter. Accordingly,
the next day he sent note to Mr.
Stevenson asking for an interview

the reply,
The next morning Mr.. Mansfield pre-
sented himself at the lodgings of Mr..
Stevenson. He was unfit to be out,
as he was suffering from bad cold
However, he felt that it would be i'm.
proper for him to break the appoint
ment. He sent up his card to Mr..
Stevenson. In a few moments the
servant came downstairs. "Mr. Ste
venson will see you presently"
In few moments gentleman en-
tered the room. Mr.. Mansfield arose,
thinking he had met Mr.. Stevenson.
He began to cough violently and
sneezed several times. When he fiji
ished one of his fits of sneezing he
looked up and said. "Oh, l beg your
pardon, | thought you were Mr.. Ste
venson."

"Mr. Osbourne, I appreciate the
fact that I have q very bad cold.
l did not come here, however, Mr..
Osbourne, to tell you all about
my cold. The fact is, l went to
see Mr.. Stevenson, and as my time is
limited l would like to see him at once.
l am to sail for America tomorrow,
and as | have many engagements for

Mansfield again begins to sneeze and
cough.
