i'll the size and shape of its dinner plates
John Bull, with his fOndness for a large
slice of undcrdOne roast beef, with plenty
of room for two or three vegetables be-
sides, likes his plate of generous dimen-
sions, ten inches in diameter and decided
ly fiat in shape. His epicurean neighbour
across the channel would deeply offend
his gourmet's appetite by such an array,
and prefers a smaller plate, eight or nine
inches in diameter. which is ample in size
for his dainty mOrsel of well-CoOked tillet,
with its few but delicious attendant
mushrooms As for our Teutonic friend,
his frugal mind contents itself with a
plate not larger than the Frenchmens S,
but the centre is deeper, and in its bowl
like shape there fingers suggestion Of a
fondness for soup.
The summer season, says the New York
Times, is the joy of the girl who knows
how to use it to advantage. 1t was created
specially to give the girl of limited means
a chance beside her wealthy rivals. Winter
means furs and velVets and rich garments
necessitating such an expenditure that
the poor girl breaks her own heart, or her
fathers bank account in trying to keep
up. Glorious summer generally provides
opportunity for dainty devices of lace and
ribbons, of natural tiowers, and five-cent-
a-yard gowns
The young women who have no lnowl-
edge of tive-Cent-a-yard gowns are by no
means the most charmingly dressed
Nothing ever made up more prettily than
the 1ive-cent lawn. That with white
ground and delicate pink, blue, green,
gray, or brown figure is charming when
simply made. 1t launders as almost no
other fabric does, and it isn't at all coarse,
some of it, indeed, being very sheer and
fine, and exactly suited to narrow edg-
ings of imitation Valenciennes lace
The Irish lawn for l215 cents is perfect
in quality, and the lines, dots, tiny leaves,
rings, and similar figures are struck clear
and true and in fast Colors. In a more eX-
pensive class must be reckoncd the French
null with groups of cord in the white
ground, and dots, rings, or open blocks of
color. These sometimes are crossed at
wide intervals by chinestriped the shade
of the figures and possibly half inch in
width.
In heavier cottOns the Galatea suitings,
urged by New York merchants in the
early spring, and only now really coming
forward, are fairly pretty, and sell low.
A white ground has alternating stripes

prettier gowns, and tho colOrs are well

hostess in the hillside farmhouse will
assert with cheerful readiness. She
knows. Because her boys have dozen or
so apiece of cheviot shirt waists on the
line every week.
At a recent wedding the picture of the
bride, done by a famous artist, rested on
a floral easel, its gilt frame having been
replaced by heavy mat of flowers An
other picturesque wedding had as assist
ants" two little boys as pages, who wore
Louis Seize Court costumes of white
satin deliberately trimmed with silver,
brocade waistcoats, and three-cOrnered
white satin hats. Behind them walked
the brides sister, a little maid of four
wears, in a white silk Empire gown and
big white hat and feathers. Nine brides
maids attended the bride in gowns of
white satin, with deep epaulets and EN-
pire sashes of turquOis satin and Marie
Antoinette fichus of cream iSse edged
with wide HonitOn lace; their large pict-
ure hats were of black velvet, with low
crowns, trimmed with pink roses and
black ostrich tips and tied under the chin
with pale blue ribbon; each carried a
very large bouquet of exquisite pink
roses, tied with many pale blue ribbons.
