INTERESTING INFORMATION ABOUT
The WHITE HOUSE CHINA.

The Coming Woman-T0w Women Man
wonen--The Magic Power of Voice.
Women May Travel Alone.
A very full set of presidential china was
bought in Abraham Lincoln's time. 1t Is
of finest French porcelain, with n border
Of crimson purple or plum color, with deli
cate lines and dots of gold and the plates,
platters and ssucers have slightly seal
loped edges. In the center of the plates
and on the sides of the dishes and small
pieces is IA very spirited version of the coat
OF arms of the United Stotes, with the
motto "E pluribus unum" upon clouded
back aground Of gold. A plate and cup OF
this set are now in possession of Miss Hen
rietta d. Lyon, of Staten Island. This de-
sign is very dignined and appropriate, and,
with the substitution of "a blue border
with gilt ears Of Indian corn, was repro.
ruced for Mrs. Harrison. Plates of this
Abraham Lincoln set sold at the Governor
Lyon sale for 81. % each, and little covered
custartl or egg cups for $50 each. | have
recently had some of these plates offered to
me for twenty-five dollars apiece. Por-
tibns of this set still remain and are used
at the White House.
Tho General Grant set is well known
and is very handsome. The border is of
buff and gold, broken once by small
United States shield in high colors In
the center is Il well painted spray or bunch
Df flowers, many being the wild flowers of
the United States The coffee cups Of this
set were ordered for use at the wedding Of
the presidents daughter, and were known
us the Nelly Grant cups"
OF the beautiful and costly set ordered
by Mrs. Hayes too much is known, and too
many cheaper copies have been sold, and
may be seen in any large china shop, to
make it worth while to give any detailed
description hero. 1t was made at Limoges
by the Havilands, Us was also the Grant

when the pieces are arranged in the beau

made for it, and is more satisfactory il
that position than when in use on the table
1t may be asked how all these pieces OF
presidential china came to be found in pri
cate collections, and offered for sale and SC
generally distributed over the country.
A very reprehonsible custom existed un
til recent years land indeed may still be
possible Of selling at auction at the end q

BILE than that which was made half cen
fury ago, for the reason that the constant
call seems to be for something cheaper
therefore, to meet this unwise clamor nun
ufacturcrs bave made mach lighter grades,
and have In many cases introduced cotton
spun together in such way that only an
expert can detect it, and even these are
often deceived. There is no economy in
buying cheap linen. 1t has not half of the

most pleasing to oonnoisaeurs.
There are many persons who do not care
for linen bedding the year around. For those
there is a satin finished cotton which Is
very much liked, although it is very ex.
pcnsive costing even more than u good
grade of linen. Full sized sheets are usu-
ally made two and half yards long when
finished Linen varies in width from two
to two and half yards; occasionally piece
is found which is wider than this, but two
and half yards is the standard. Many
stores furnish bedding made ready for use.
Sheets are either plainly hemmed or hem.
stitched, the latter being considered much
more desirable, especially in linen and fine
grades of cotton. Pillow cases are SINH
larly finished; many of them, however, have
half to three-quarter inch bands Of drawn
work above the hens The plain hem
stitched is of course more durable and
makes a very pretty fnish.-New York

in the professions. They are found in the

They can point with pride to Harriet Hos

Proud and Economical French Women

Proud and Economical French Women.
The exies who took refuge in London at
the time OF the French revolution met the
poverty and the hardships of their lot
with much courage. They never begged,
and it was often difficult to induce them
to accept the funds subscribed for their
assistance.
The women did not accept the partially
worn and soiled clothing of wealthy and
charitably inclined ladies, as most women
in their condition would have been glad to
do, but managed with the cheapest mate
rails to dress neatly and tastefully.
Their necessities developed an inventive
spirit The records of the London patent
Office at the beginning of the Eighteenth
century have on every page such names as
Blondcau, Dupin, Cardonel, Gastineau,
Leblond and Courant. How ingenious
they were in utilizing the most unpromis-
ing of materials is shown by their inven-
tion of a now famous dish.
When the London butchers slaughtered
their beef they were accustomed to throw
away the tails with the refuse. The French
women had the bright idea of buying
them, since they could get them for next
to nothing, and making soupof them. And
thus they gave to England the popular
oXtal soup, which loyal Englishmen now
consider an essentially national dish
