where it was served on tiny pink rosebuds
outlined an encircling, wreath. The chiffon
was gathered very full above the ruff1e and
held in place at the top with second
wreath of the pink flowers put closely to-
gether. Over the bowl of the shade were
sewn at irregular intervals on the pale blue
chiffon tiny clusters of rosebuds tied with
little bows of baby ribbon of the same tint.
This design was repeated in English vlolets
and white chiffon used with silver lamp.
A "Watteau Cotillon" was given recently
in neighboring city and proved success

Twenty selected couples danced the pretty
figures dressed in pure Watteau style, the
young women in rosebud brocades and pow
dered hair, and the cavaliers gorgeous in
silks, satins, laces and diamond buckles A

eral others made series of pretty group
ings, with finally beautifully decorated
Sedan chair. This was brought in by liv-
cried lackeys. and out OF it stepped lovely
Dresden shepherdess, who distributed
flowers and favors to verybody. Although
the idea was carried out for a benefit fund
for a hospital, it is one that could merely
assist clever hostess in planning novel

''The safety in eating fish" says physi.
clan, '1ies in eating it alone. To take
bread or potato into the mouth at the same
time increases the risk of not discovering q

Alpine hats and tailor-made gowns seem
to be on every other woman abroad for shop

A certain reaction against kindergartens
has set IN, not as opposed to the principle,
but to some of the practice which makes of

Felt sold by the yard in narrow widths
for use in bows and rosettes is feature of
new millinery. 1t is also plated, and, in
fact, treated like straw braids. As con-
trast to this severe trimming for dressy
bonnets, aigrettes and feathers incrusted
with jewels are shown.
Shades for the blue and white Japanese
lamps are especially effective, made of the
blue and white Japanese silks of the porce-
lain patterns.
At one of the weeks weddings in this
city the wedding cake was imported from
England, reaching here on the very morn
ing of the eventful day. American caterers
have not taken at all kindly to these tower
ing pieces, which the English bride of quail
ity deems indispensable to- the ceremony,
and those who saw Miss Gardiner's huge
"temple of sweets" could not be persuaded
to more than admire its novelty.
Coin fringes are shown for use on gowns,
but smack of barbaric stage effects

QUARANTINE, S. l., Nov. 19-The Red
sd" steamship Philadelphia dropped
her anchor off quarantine at $50 o'clock to-
night. Among the passengers from La
Guayra was Senor MUares, lately Governor
of Caracas. Venezuela. Senior Mijares has
got the Red sd" steamship line into trouble
and incidentally has caused the United States
Government some uneasiness. He is the
refugee whom the steamship refused to sur
render to the authorities at Venezuela.
MIR: Mijares gave his side of the story of
the charge against him of stealing cattle in
Venezuela. He saws he was sent
out to buy provisions for the
Government when Crespo's forces
were at Guaybo. A number of horses
and cattle were taken, but not in robbery,
orders being given for 60 days on the Ma
tional Treasury. When the bills fell due

They are fashionables en- route to the riding

4 divan piled with white cushions, whose
snowiness came from their sheer lawn COW
ers, edged all around with a double rufle
of soft null, gave touch of freshness to an
apartment recently seen. A riot of cushions
and rugs still seems the furnishing ambition
of mos: women. And to vary her cushions
is one of the problems of the modern chate-
laine. A unique cushion given to a bride
by her sister was composed OF bits of every
gown in her trousseau skillfully and artis-

white failie wedding gown.
Something new in the laundry business
in this city is the establishment of one
where the plain pieces, such as bed and
table linen, will be done ready for use,
starched articles to be sent home rough,
dried and unstitfened, uniform price of
cents per pound being charged. This is GER
tainly step toward the preservation of
linen, as it is the ironing of starched pieces
which is apt to be destructive when done
by wholesale.

One of the canes which Mr.. Cleveland takes

Andrew jackson in 1921 by number of
citizens. The inscription of the donors is

''let me give you a cup of tea" seems to be
the shibboleth of society. At the recent
exhibition OF the Verestchagin pictures at
the American Art Galleries in this city the
artist offered tea Ia Russo to all the
visitors, bit of hospitality, by the way,
which was much appreciated. At the Dore
Exhibition, now on, q tea room is provided,
and there is talk of introducing the service
of the "cup which cheers" in the theater
lobbles This is done in London rheaters,
aud would doubtless prove popular here, but
if we are to believe the physicians, all this
extension of tea privileges is matter of
sinister moment
A pretty sofa or chair roll seen the other
day was made of three fine hemstitched
handkerchiefs, put together in the lace in
sertion, the pattern of the lace being
picked out in heliotrope wash silk. The
gathered ends were first lace trimmed,
forming when gathered a irilled rosette,
tied with heliotrope ribbons, the whole
drawn over roll first covered with hello

''Don't," says a woman who has been
wrestling with cod liver oil, take water
after it. That will complete your misery
at once. A lime or peppermint drop; bit
of orange peel or a taste OF tomato catsup
are the best and quickest destroyers of the
disagreeable flavor of the medicine.
Canopied beds are being regarded with
much dIsfavor from sanitary point of
view; in particular those high post ones
whose close curtains make an almost air
tight chamber for the sleeper. Even the
dainty lace draperies which add to the

pretty brass or maple couch can be DIS

small apartments, overheated houses and
tendency to stay indoors if the weather is
not bright, all these need the e'counteraction
of plenty of pure air at night, condition
to which every additional fold of drapery is
a bar. The most wholesome bedroom
should have enough curtains, even lace
ones, "straining' the air, as the little boy
who wanted to go out complained, and
should be as destitute of any clogging hang
