How to Set Il TahI...

A our table is better than a SQUARE
table if the dining room is large enough TO
permit it. If not. then the ordinary OBJ
long extension table must be used. The
round table is much more preferable and
easier to seat people at, besides it gives u
suggestion of the famous "king Arthu,
and the knights of the Round Table" A
few prominent society women still cling to
the old fashioned long, narrow table. Mrs.
Astor, for example, still uses that style of
dining table in order that her famous gold
dinner set may be placed to the best adj
vantage. Mrs. August Belmont, on the
contrary, prefers an oblong table, and the
decorations for an elaborate dinner are car
ried out to make the shape more pro-
nounced. Flowers should never be absent
from the dinner table. No matter how
homely, they add to the picturesuueness of
the feast.
Let us see how q table is set for u fash
ionable dinner party. On the table is first
placed a 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. Sometimes over this is placed still
another, of elaborate embroidery and lace,
lined with pink or yellow satin, as taste
dictates, or whatever color is to predOmi-
nate 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 al
lowed a space Of two feet or twenty-six
inches, if the table will admit of it, and the
plates placed at equal distances apart.
Place two dinner forks to the left of each
plate; also an oyster fork with prongs rest
ing on the edge of the plate. On the right
must be a dinner knife and a spoon for
soup. The glasses are arranged at the
right of each guest on a line with the inner
edge of the plate. The water glass is set
next to the plate. Then glasses for what
ever other beverages are intended to be
served. A glass, whether of water or any
other liquid, should never be filled more
than threequarters full.-Delmonico in
Ladies' Home Journal.

Don't Scold.
For the sake of your children, don't
scold. 1t is u great misfortune to have
children reared in the presence and under
the influence of Il scold. The effect of the
everlasting complaining and fault finding
OF such persons is to make the young who
hear it unamiable, malicious and callous
CCd, anu lHcS often lciFl 10 TAKE pleas
ure in doing the very thing for which they
receive tongue lashings. AS they are al
ways getting the blame of wrong doing,
whether they do it or not, they think they
might us we'll do wrong as right. They
lose all ambition to strive for the good
opinion of u fault finder, since they see
they always strive in vain.
Thus a scold is not only IL nuisance, but
a destroyer of the morals of children.
Many Il mother who would not beat a
child feels free to scold on any and all oc-
caslons; and between a scolding mother
and a beating mother, the scolding mother
IS generally considered the model one.
This Is far from the case; n whipping
many times has good results, but a scold-
ing never.
A much better way than either scolding
or beating is a quiet, earnest talk with Il
child, and such IL talk usually carries more
weight and is remembered longer than half
a dozen whippihgs and seedlings, for Il
child soon learns that Il scolding is a fit OF
passion, meaning much less than u quiet
talking, and soon blowing over. Children
often come to have a certain don't care sat
1sfaction in waiting silently until Il scold-
ing mother has blown off her surplus feel
fngs. Most parents scold their children
more Or less, and many children are well
trained Notwithstanding. But no child is
ever benefited by any %scolding. Scoldiny
is not always ruinous, but it is always ont

The freedom enjoyed by American wom-
en- has enabled them to mold themselves
in their own fashion. They do not copy
any other women; they are original. l can
recognize an American woman without
hearing her speak. You have only to SEQ
her enter a room or IL car and you know
her for Jonathan's daughter. Married or
unmarried her air is full of assurance, or Il
self possession that never fails her. And
when she looks at You or talks to you her
eyes express the same calm consciousness
Of her worth.
A Frenchwoman will seldom be jealous
of another woman's cleverness. She will
far more readily forgive this quality than
beauty. "Oh, how l should like to be Il
manr' once exclaimed IL French lady in
my presence. An American lady would
probably have said to her, "My dear, you
are ever so much better us you are!''

ones are the least affected. With them, L

that she added another. She called for

In 1875 she was one day dressed in Il ma

Finally the vendors of silks presented a

some of her majesty's hair was obtained
through bribery and sent to Gobelins,

were made.-Cloak and Suit Review.

Richest Man in America.

The brothers Rockefeller are compar-
atively new tn New York. John D. is
the richest man in America, and perhaps
the most ~unosteutatiols. He is absolutely
void of frills and furbelows. He would
he taken for more than an average mai
in any crowd, but not for the man whose
check has behind it more capital than
any other check that can be drawn. The
Rockefellers live modestly, and they have
shown no desire to spread out and take
a house on the avenue. I am told that
the two Misses Rockefeller receive an
allowance OF $500 per quarter each, and
out of this they clothe themselves and
prosecute their church work. They are
Baptists, and like all Baptists they are
intensely jealous iu their religious life.
There is talk of one or both of the girls
going to China as missionaries. Their
eldest sister is married to a Baptist
clergyman. Mrs. Rockefeller recently
said in an interview that she thought an
allowance of $3.50 a year wa all any girl
ought to have for clothes aud spending
money up to her fifteenth year. Then
the amount might be increased slightly
if the parents circumstance s permitted
it. She brought her girls up on this
principle, and yet her husbands income

The Celebrated Turkish Carpet.

There are no carpets more celebrated
than those of Turkey, perhaps because
they were the first to be imported in
large quantities to Europe. Persian car
pets, even when of large size, are almost
invariably oblong, following the shape
of Persian rooms. But it is almost q
rule for Turkish carpets of large size to
be square. TIE texture of Turkey rugs
is looser than of those,o of Persia or India,
but the length of the pile gives them a
thickness and solidity that is almost i'm
perishable, and renders them exceeding
" luxurious. White is e color rarely
found in a Turkey carpet. The designs
are simple and with as little regard to sb-
solute symmetry as if inherited from a
rude period, but the general effect is
agreeable and often very rich. Tue US
ual grounds are green or crimson, re-
lieved in the borders with blues, greens
and blacks, the centre Of ten diamond
shaped, and the subordinate designs
grouped like clusters of jewels. Turkey
carpets are made from Armenia to Al
giers, chiefly by the %peasartry. The tin-
est exported grades are those of Ushak
and Kulab. A good Turkey rug is worth
s. to 81 a square yard where it is made.
One of the finest of Oriental wool car
pets, perhaps the best of Central Asia
af er those of Kurdistau, is that of Turke.
stan, made by the wandering TurkOmen.
Our dealers call it a Bokhara rug, but
Asiatics know it as the Turkistan rug.
The texture is close and the pile or zap
short. The prevailing colors are a deep
maroon red relieved by touches OF Grim
sen or vermillion and black aud q rich
blue. A certain conventional pattern is
followed, although with endless varis-
tons. Recent Turkestar rugs are great
ly injured by the adoption of analine
dyes, but the old ones gain with age q
rich peach bloom and gloss that sug.
gests silk. These rugs are worth in the
Persian mnrkets from 81 to 81 the square
yard. A really fine one in good condi-
ton of thirty to sixty years old is worth
more. The price per yard increases pro.
portionately with the size.-NeU Y@'k
