A housekeeper who has been employing
a colored washerwoman for several
months, says the New York Times, was

At a recent fashionable wedding the
bridesmaids white satin dresses were
trimmed with silver-spGngled passemen-
terie and white chiffon fichus, the skirts
edged with ruche of chiffon with pesse-
menterie in the center. They wore large
picturesque green straw hats trimmed
with pink wild roses and white ostrich
tips, the brims lined up with white lace
At another wedding the seven brides
maids were in the somewhat striking com
bination of pale blue satin yelled with
white chiffon and black Leghorn picture
hats trimmed with black feathers.
A formal luncheon party in summer
with the thermometer in the eighties is a
trying thing for both hostess and guests,
says the New York, Tribune, but, there
are times when circumstances force such
entertainments into existence. Then it
becomes an art to suggest in all possible
ways thoughts of coolness. The dining
room should be kept as dark as possible
all the morning before, and any glare of
sunlight should be carefully shut out even
during the luncheon, though no artificial
light should be used. Iced bouillon or de-
Hcious little melons or oranges filled with
water ices form q tempting opening
course, and as few hot dishes as possible
should be served. If the temperature has
not robbed the hostess of all her energy
she can arrange without much trouble a
delightfully."- cool decoration in the
floral way. A long, low rectangular
pan placed in the middle of the
table should hold a block of ice
somewhat smaller than the pan, but about
six or seven inches in height. The center
of the ice having been previously hol-
lowed out three inches in depth by the
aid of hot fiat-irops and the sides left two
or more inches in thickness, fill the dish
thus formed with water and arrange in it
some exq uisite white water-lilies. Small
water-lily pads should be placed among
them to nestle here and there with half
open buds upon the sides of the ice.- Over
the edges of the pan bank moss to cover
them, and in this stick short cut rushes,
cat-tails and other Tarsh-grasses-but
not so high or thick as to obscure the ice
and lilies. 1t must not be forgotten that
water-lilies are only babies in some of
their ways, and begin sto grow drowsy
soon after the sun starts its downward
course. Before q late luncheon could be
finished or an early dinner begun they
would close tight their green petals and
fall fast asleep.
A woman spending the summer in an
isolated farm house, says the New York
Times, was much amused by the rather
masculine sound OF the names of her
hosts six daughters. This was the ex-
PLANTATION offered "Wen, you see, me
an my wife wanted to name the children
after our brothers. She he'd three an
two. We neither on us had airy sisters.
My wifes pretty smart woman bout
most everything, but the way she twisted
them names an made 'em do for the girls
did beat all. We never had any boys.
There's Villa for my oldest brother
BILL Thomasine for Tom, Charline for
Charlie Josepha for joe and Roberta
for Bob Well, when the sixth came my
father said we ought to name one after
him, since we had twisted the uncles'
names round

we didn't want to slight the old man.
Finally my wife hit on Nicola There

would be a good name. He said it was a
real name, and showed it to US in book

sound, but my oldest daughter WANT
