ed professor of musical composition in

TABLE DECORATIONS.
Novel Ideas Carried Out at Home
and Abroad.
a Luncheon Where All the Decorative
Eject Was Produced by Filmy Paper
Table Demonstrations for
q Dinner,

r.
Have you ever thought of giving q
luncheon where the decorations were
solely of flmy paper? It's an excel
lent idea if carried out successfully.
Not many days ago six New York
girls were guests at a country house
up the Hudson. just before coming
back to town, the hostess gave in their
honor what she called a paper-lunch-
con. Fortunately, it was more sub
7stantial than it's name implied
. In the center of the polished mahog-
any table was large, square mat Of
pale pink crinkled paper, with a bor-
der shading from white to green.
Upon this rested the jardiniere, a deep
green bowl of crepe paper, filed with
ferns and sprigs Of apple blossoms
The dolly at each plate matched the
one in the center. Single candlesticks
were placed at the corners of the table,
and the light shed rosy glow around
the pink shades, where, apple blossoms
seemed to be growing.
At each plate was large paper
spoon. The deep bowl was Of pink
rope paper. This was filed with bon.
Sbons. Twisted about the handle were
miniature apple blossoms, and caught
in among the leaves was the name
card, printed in silver. The menus

were placed in paper frames of pink,
white or green, with little spray of
apple blossoms trailing over the top.
They made the best of souvenirs, for
the girls used them for photograph
frames afterwards. When the chicken
patties appeared they were also en-
cased in paper, being served in little
parchment cup which rested in another
cup of pink paper almost smothered in
apple blossoms.
AS for the ices, they could not have
looked better. They came on the table
in deep heart-shaped baskets made of
pink and green rope paper, with tiny
apple blossoms twisted about the ham
die; but of course they were put in
glass before the paper baskets received
them.
Another evidence of the paper deco
ration was a deep freize which sur
rounded the dining-room wall, with
long vines of apple blossoms trailing
over it. They were made of paper. the
petals being hand-painted.

Salt Baths at Home

There are new fashions in baths con.
stantly cropping up. One hears Of
flower baths, crushed fruit baths, wine
baths, powdered-root baths, and the
mud or earth bath; but not at all on
the line with these fads is the salt
bath, or rather salt rub-for those at
least who caEnot get to the ocean

mocks are packed, while it is equally
impossible to carry them. But the
lovers tiff anybody can enjoy because
it goes everywhere merely tucked un-
der the strap Of a satchel. In fact,
only the bare canvas is carried. When
the camp ground is reached four poles
are quickly cut and set up and three
short pieces bound to them Indian
style by heavy cords. Then the middle
of the canvas is secured to the toy
cross bar, and either end to the bottom
pieces. The poles should be trife
heavier than bean poles, and eight feet
long; the cross sticks four feet. Plunged
into the sod an inch, the legs of this
chair never spread. 1t may be used on
the veranda with comfort, if light
straddle be made to connect the two
lower cross bars.-American Agri-

ARcHwAY CENTER PIECE.

ored glass, overspreading vases which
are filled with flowers.
When an elaborate dinner is being
planned, the table decorations should
be studied with great care. An idea
for center piece, which. is borrowed
from the Russians, is shown in the il
lustration. Over the glossy cloth of
damask is laid mirror mat. Then a
number of Dresden china figures are
placed here and there, and each one
holds in its china hands bowl or vase
flled with ferns. Tiny, low jardin-
ieres, overlooking with ferns, fill in all
the open spaces till the whole mirror
is converted into a fernery. Rising
from the center Of this mass of green
is Dresden china lamp, with a shade
of some soft tint of silk.
f. For the everyday home dinner ferns
may be used effectively as center
piece If possible, have them growing.
Plant few fine ferns in good-sized
fower-pot, and then place it within a
miniature kiosk, made of celluloid or
gilded willow. This makes as well a
pretty decoration to stand on the table
in your piazza corner.-N. Y. World.

the purse cannot be reached from the

mouth of the bag opens wide and on
unclasping the upper pocket first the
purse is available. The bag is of a
very moderate size, made in different

Angeline, the daughter of Chief Sc
attic, is a familiar character about the
streets of Seattle. She is said to be
ninety years old, and certainly looks

blear-eyed;. her face is a network of
deeply-furrowed lines, and altogether
She looks like revivified mummy. But
she carries her head high on her
shoulders, walks with a firm step, and
helps herself without let or hindrance
to anything in the way Of fruit or con-
fectionery that happens to lie in her
path. For many years it was said
of her that on certain occasion she,
saved the whites from massacre, but
the story is now generally discredited.
