DINING IN THE MORNING.
In Olden Times the Meal Hour Was TIE
O'clock.

In Olden Times the Meal Hour Was Ten
O'Clock.
1t is believed by some that the word
dinner springs from a corruption of the
word dixheures, indicating the time at
which, in the old Norman days, this
meal was taken. The mere idea of hav-
ing dinner at the bar barous hour of ten
o'clock in the morning would in all
probability, send a modern chef into a
fit, yet it was at this early time that
persons of quality, both in England and
France, partook of the meal. Froissart
mentions waiting upon the duke of Lam
caster at five in the afternoon, after he
had supped, and during the reigns of
Francis l. and Louis XII. of France,
fashionable people dined from 1890 and
supped at the latest at six in the evening.
And again from a Northumberland
household book, bearing date 1912, we
learn that the family rose at six, break
tasted at seven, dined at ten, supped at
four, and shut the gates at nine p. m.
Speaking generally, though the din
ner hour then. as now, was later in this
country than in France, Louis XIV. did
not din e till 12, while his contempora-
ries, Cromwell and Charles H. took the
meal at l. In 1900 the hour was adj
vanced to 2, and in 1921 we find that the
Duchess of Somerset's dinner time was
3. In 1860 Cowper speaks of o'clock as
the then fashionable time. After the
battle OF Waterloo Q p. m. was the time
at which the beau monde took their
substantial meal. while at the present
day many of the nobility do not dine
till or Q; so we see through 400 years
the dinner hour was gradually moved
through twelve hours of the day-from
ga m to p m. When the dinner hour
was so early, often no previous meal
was taken.
The Romans, in the time of Cicero
and Augustus, took an early breakfast,
from two to four in the morning, a
luncheon at twelve or one and at about
three o'clock the coma, o. principal
meal of the day. corress Onding with
our dinner. Concurrently, we read of
some not dining until sunset. A Roman
dinner at the house of a wealthy man
consisted chiefly of three courses All
sorts of stimulants TO the appe tie were
first served up, and eggs were indis-
pensible to the first course Among
the various dishes we may instance the
guinea hen, pheasant nightingale and
thrush as the birds most in repute.
The Roman gourmans held peacocks in
great estimation, especially their
tongues. Macrobius states that they
were first eaten by Hortensius, the ora
tor, and acquired snch repute that
single peacock was sold for fifty dem
arii, the denarius being equal TO about
eight pence half-penny of our money.

HOME DRESSMAKING.
How to Make a Cheap but Bright and
Dainty Gown.


Dainty Gown.
Home dressmaking is a favorite en-
ployment to some women to whom deft-
ness is gift amounting to genius And
wonderful bargains may be found in
cotton goods when cloths and silks are
crowding out cambrics and muslins.
These reduced fabrics, if made up sim
ply, are ready for another years morn
ing wear, and often very delightful to
have on hand for the first hot wave,
which always comes as a surprise and
finds only the wisest of wise virgins
prepared with cool and comfortable
garments. One of the prcttiest of these
simple dresses recently made is of a
remnant of cool-loo<ing green and
white checked zephyr. About the bot
tom of the plain skirt band of fine
sheer muslin, plain white, laid on over
a lining of plain green, is finished on
either edge with three rows of white
lace beading, threaded with green rib
bon. A little close Zouave of the zephyr
finished in the same way, and crossing
over the chest to the shoulder, shows
below it full waist of the fine white
muslin which appears again in full
Sleeves gathered to q band of green
ribbon just below the elbow and capped
with short sleeves of zephyr, finished
with the band of trimming. Buttons
of carved pearl close the jacket and
skirt at the side. The whole cost of the
gown was less than six dollars and its
effect was fresh and dainty enough to
reward and delight its designer.

Japanese Tea Ceremonies.

In Japan, in the Fourteenth century, the
mobiles wed with each other in the splen-
dor of their tea entertainments On the
floors were spread magnificent tiger and
leopard skins and troops of beautiful dane
ing girls added to the brilliancy Of the
scene. The simple meal taken at the be-
ginning of the ceremony became sump-
tuous dinner for which some new delicacy
was constantly sought. The chair room
expanded into a magnificent apartment
hung with gold and silver brocades, and
around the walls were suspended magnifi-
cent swords and rich and exquisite orna-
ments. An English writer tells US that at
these parties the host would often endeavor
10 obtain as great variety Of brands OF
tea as possible Then each guest in TURF
tried to guess the different brands. Every
correct guess entitled its maker to one Of
the treasures with which the room was

the geisha or dancing girls.
Yoshimasa Shotgun during the latter
half of the Fifteenth century. abdicated in
order to give himself up to these enter
tainments, and was joined by Shuko and
Shinno, two famous Buddhist abbots, who.
1t is to be feared, loved pleasure better
than vigils and feasts. The Shotgun and
the men of religion drew up a set of rules.
many of which are still in vogue. They
prescribed that the size of the room should
be nine feet square. and Shinno invented
the curious little spoon of bent bamboo,
slightly broadened at the bowl, which is
still used, though it is quite fashionable
for devotee to design his own spoon. The
greatest mark of esteem man of superior
rank could bestow upon an inferior whom
he wished to honor was to present him
with some piece of a tea service. Such
great men as Nobunaga and Hideyodin.
two Of the most famous generals Japan
ever produced, were tea enthusiasts.

gle, lone man. The management decided
to give No performance and the solitary
auditor was offered his money back. He
refused it and insisted upon his rights that
the play should go on. The law was on
his side and the company was compelled
to act. All the artists decided to do their
worst. which caused the audience to exer
else his right to hiss, and he did SO with
