why Women Dissemble.

Observant eyes may read in the folds of a

pathetic Thought will recognize the spirit
of decent pride prompting women to make
the best of the little they possess. Men
know nothing Of such subterfuges, so when
put Of work the poor fellows feel 1t, look
II and act IL, and perhaps this is the better
Ipolicy In the long run.
IL women could muster up courage 10 90

seams, wilted collars and a general air of

Serving Fish.

Never, under any circumstances or con-
dition, should a knife be used in serving or
eating fish. II a regular fish knife cannot
be afforded, the hostess can serve the
mackerel; bass, halibut, etc, with a fork
and a spoon. The guest will eat 1t with a
fork and IL need be borrow assistance from
a crust or a clam biscuit Some persons
mako the mistake of trying to cut through
the backbone, whereas the skin should be
cut and turned aside and three or four por-
tions of the delicate meat removed. When
the spinal column is revealed, it can be
taken up and the under half of the fish
served. II is customary In refined families
to save the tail and head for the cat.-Ex-

Sunday Dinners and Luncheons.


1--WE don't have Sunday dinners at our
house." said a housekeepcr the other day.
1--WE have a hearty luncheon and o supper,
and the result is that Sunday is, as It should
he, the easiest day my maid and / have. /
keep only one, and every other week / am
alone for the evening meal, but we always
have the supper just the same. We used
Ito do, as Is the practice OF many families,
ITO follow a late, hearty breakfast with an
Iearly, hearty dinner at / o'clock. We were
never ready for it, but by 6 our appetites
would be sharp enough for more than the
light Sunday tea, which should complete
THE trio of meals.
ITO have q G o'clock dinner on Sunday
in our modest establishment meant hard
work for me every other week, and the
difficulty has been solved by this double
compromise.
"The Sunday luncheon is a hearty affair,
with a dessert made the day before, and the
supper Is made up Of several good cold
dishes and always one hot one, with a cup
lof coffee. Corn ~fritters or fried or escal-
Hoped oysters, creamed fish, broiled chops,
steak and mushrooms-any OF such easily
prepared cooked dishes-make the meal
Sufficient and appetizing. We really only
eliminate big joints and gravies, soup and
deliberately prepared vegetables from the
list. And il one is versed Ina chatting dish
cookery the menu is capable of infinite va
lriety and ever less trouble. For a small
household ! am positive this is the most
satisfactory settling of the Sunday meal
problem. "-Her Point of View in New York

Flowers For the Invalid.

When choosing flowers to send to an In
valid, select those that lave a very delicate
perfume, and that are as suggestive of life
and health as possible. White flowers, al.
though most beautiful, lend neither color
nor brightness to the sickroom, and to a
mind weakened by sickness are apt to be
suggestive Of death, while those of a bright
crimson or a deep yellow will almost always
please and crafty the convalescent. When
ordering the flowers, ask your florist to send
long stemmed ones; they arrange so much
more prettily than those that are cut with
short stems.-Ladies' Home Journal.

Ar Extemporized Dado.

A Capital way of making a hastily con.
structed frieze or dado for any extempo-
rized ballroom at holiday time is TO run a
rope around the top OF the wall II for a

for a wainscot effect. Then with turkey
red or gayly colored paper muslin gather
. couple Of folds together and hold them
to the rope Mt regular intervals with

ed. The effect of this arrangement is very
decorative and has the merit Of being easy

Bettes Than ~sponging.

A great many suppose that ladies' cloth
should be sponged before using in order to
prevent 1t spotting by water when made up.
A Young man who handles cloths In a
large dry goods house in town tells me
that IL Is by no means necessary.
If the material is hung out In the piece
for eight or ten hours. the air will be better
for it than sponging, particularly IL care is
used the first few times the garment Is
worn.
Some of the large houses will have the
goods prepared and cold pressed for GUS
tomers. Almost any process In better than
sponging, as that takes away all the fresh
ness.-New York Recorder.

Comparisons were unavoidable at the Stand

though there had been deliberate intention
to invite them. Sydney Grundy's The
Arabian Nights" based on an old German
farce BY Gustav Won Moser. was given by
frohman's Comedians. Tho same play had
been acted by Augustin Days company only
four years ago. Many in the Standard audi
ence recollected the DAILY perior nnces quite
well enough to measure. by means Of mem
ory. the merits OF the new representation by
an cNacting standard. Thus. aside from the
amusement provided by funny niece funnily
enacted. there was the additional interest OF
curiosity to see whether DAILY could be out
done In the field which he once held ms his
own. The two players who had distinguished
themselves brilliantly In the earlier cast were
John Drew and Mrs. g. II. Gilbert. In the ren
tionship OF son in law and m other-i law. The
successors OF those accom- plished come dams
last evening were Joseph Holland and the
