THE NEWEST NOVELTIES.

The rose bowls are more glittering
and desirable than ever.
Round glass salt cellars on gilded legs
and glass spoons with gilded handles
are noticed.
The finest pitcher ever seen in glass
by this observer was very large. and the
upper part of the body and lip were cut
in broken parallel bars in imitation of
old English work. .
Small silver individual dishes for
entrees are prominent. The new gilt
lined scallop shells are very pretty, and
likewise interesting are the quaint little
covered dishes shaped liked old fashioned
skillets.
Some superb new forms are intro
duced in glass. The chrysanthemum is
a new design introduced in the centers
of bowls and berry dishes. 1t resembles
the fine old work Of our grandmother
glass.-Jewelers' Circular.

When little Frances went to her last
children's party she was carefully in
structed by her mamma what she could
eat. Among other things she was al
lowed to eat Just three ~spoonfuls of ice
cream.
When Frances mamma next met the
of the little girl who gave the
party the latter said:
"Your Frances is a very remarkable
child"
"In what way?"
"She was SO careful about what she
should eat, and | noticed that she took
just three spoonfuls of ice cream and
then pushed her saucer away, remark
ing that she was only allowed to eat
that much. l think that was a rare
piece of self denial in one SO young. In
deed | don't think l could have resisted
the temptation to eat the whole saucer
full myself even now, and even if l had
known it would injure me. Frances is
fond of ice cream, too, isn't she?'
"Oh, yes, very" replied Frances
mamma, but she can always be trusted
in matters of that kind"
just then the little girl came in with
her nurse, and her mamma said:
Frances, l am much pleased to hear
how carefully you obeyed mt in not eat
ing more than three spoonfuls of ice
cream at the party"
Eyes" replied Frances, ian l wouldn't
have Gated dem free 'poonfuls if you
hadn't told me to. 'tause de ice cream
wasn't good."-Harper's Bazaar.

A little ~six-year-old boy overheard his
aunt remark to his mamma that their
neighbor Mrs. Smiths parlor carpet was
so ugly it really made her sick to look
at it. The little boy improved the first
moment to visit neighbor Smith and ask
to see her parlor carpet. Certainly,
Jamie, come in. This is the parlor car
pet--but why do you wish to see itr'
''Cause," said Jamie. Aunt Jane said
it made her sick to look at it, and want
to see if it makes me ick."-Christian
