One of last seasons debutantes, says the
New York Tribune, has kept cuttings from
all the bouquets which have been given her.

water well until the whole is thoroughly
soaked and then plant the cuttings To
prepare the latter cut of the rose and all the
leaves and push the shoot into the wet soil
far enough to cover two buds, leaving one
or two above. Then put the box in a sunny
window and keep it wet never allowing the
earth to get dry. Do not pot the shoots
until they show signs Of actual thrifty
growth. 1t is q delightful recreation to
start plants from cuttings. One lady in
New York has a small green house attached

The English women's contribution to the
Chicago fair includes some interesting feat
ures, says the New York Times. There are
photographs OF children belonging to women
that have had university education. A
moral Science Babyn among them is de-
scribed as a beautiful child. There are
nails, bolts, nuts and envils made by
woman blacksmith, and a pair Of brown
leather boots actually manufactured by a
gentlewomRn, the Hon. Sybil Amherst.
Another lady with a prefix before her name
signifying noble birth, sends silver scenes
in repousse work done by herself. Lady
TAnkerville's exhibit shows ssill In three
arts, wood carving, painting and ivory cary
lug. Another young lady contributes

from wood that is 800 years old. The
Princess Of Wales sends carved corner
chair, covered with leather embossed by her
own fair hands, and the daughters also cons
tribute pieces in carved wood with en-
bossed leather coverings. Among the paint
ings Is one Of Eurydice returning TO hades,
which an English paper prophesies will
horrify the Americans II the committee
dare hang it, as the figure is but slightly
drRped. Then, with a ponderous attempt
at being funny, the writer proceeds TO say
that America is still too young country to
be educated up TO the point of appreciating
the nude, and that In the far west We invest
the Venus with a tea gown and put our
cupids in pajamas.

The youthful spinster adds, plaintiveIY:

Some one writes from London: 81 hap
pened to be present the other day at a small
boys birthday party. The hosts and his
guests were alike, all shoots of the nobility.
1t was really charming sight, the long
table lavishly adorned and lined about with
rosy faces, each backed by an accompany
ing Inverted footmau or white-capped maid.
The gentle lady-mOther who presided glided
about talking to one and another, and
finally she called for silence.

your amusement, my loves" she said.

''We don't dance at teas yet ;" says the
New York Times, "though where there is a
large party of young women receiving tea
often closes with an informal dance, to
which the men are asked back for the even

often seen women stop for valse at such
times, dancing In bonnets, OF course, and
en- route from greeting the hostess to the
tearoom.
THE lights at teas have been managed
rather peculiarly this season. 1e has been a
notion at many not to have gaslight;
lamps, shaded, of course. and candles have
been oftenest used. and freight, real or
simulated. At a tea last week given by

there was no other light except the sweep
of brilliancy that came from the gas back

effect was peculiar. for parts of the room
were almost dark. In another room we're

generally used for the tea room, as they set
off the table 30 we'll. And now TO close
teas, make the suggestion that givers of
them should have the buffers announce
from the cards. So many fewer mistakes
are made, aud it gives one such a STUPID

Twining about each other seems to be
coming into fashion again, says Clara Belle
in the Times Democrat, with girls. With
the "ta1lor maden vogue girls had gotten
used to calling each other "old fellow" or
even "chappie," and having no further non
sense, a very good idea. too. But now that
organdies and short-waisted gowns are to
be worn, l suppose the girls feel they will
add to the general picturesque effect Of
things If they Irvine. Sisters even, who
proverbially hate each other, do posing
acts when their mother receives.
They sit on sofas with their arms
and things like that, the
idea being that they are so Innocent, and at
the same time 80 affectionate that they
really must Irvine about something, and
thew nave not learned that girl is not the
thing. 1t may be all very sweet, only
when a man is acquainted with both girls
and knows how much more they know OF
what Is what than heir mother does, the
sudden change sort Of skaters his con-

though, and they gaze into each others
ewes and are just as sweet as II they meant

can mean whatever they like, and it doesn't
hurt them a hit.
