1t May Re Made Such by Careful itten-

The house where the setting Of the
table is left to the unsllillea wait
ers or the more unskilled child are not
the houses where every meal Is feast
and the chance ''dropper-in' feels him
self guest of honor. We're it always
remem bered that the laying of the ia

Of home dinner as the brOiliDg Of the
steak there would be more care et-
A table cloth th:t is crumplcd or
stained ever so slightly, should not be
used for the simplest family meal any
more than for the gayest company dim
ner A little care on the part of the
person who cleans off the table, in the
matter Of folding the cloth in the same
creases in which it has been ironed,
will help to preserve its freshness
The prompt removal Of small spot
by immediate sponging and pressing
will also tend to lower the laundry
bill. The cloth should always be laid
perfectly straight, and it should never
be put on without the undercovering
of cotton flannel. Silver should be pol
ished to the last degree Of brilliancy
for every meal. Even if plated ware is
used there is no excuse for dingy or
brassy spoons and forks. 1t can al
ways be replatcd at a small expense.
A centerpiece is much in vogue, and
on this should stand the floral decora-
TONS For daily use there is nothing
better than green plant potted in a
low dish. Lypopodium is a feathery
green stuff which may be planted in
big, round pots. not higher than two
inches Simple flowers are always in
good taste, and when gardens and
fields cease to produce them in alum
dance the artistic housewife can achieve
very pretty results with red berries
from the autumn woods and small
branches of evergreen. Plants that
flourish indoor, geraniuns, heliotrope
and the like, will generally furnish a
few blossoms, or at any rate some fra
grant green leaves for the table.
Candles are dainty adjunct to the
dinner table, even for simple family
dinner. And NOWADAYS when crimped
paper comes in all delicate shades and
at very reasonable prices, there is no
reason why candles should not slime
upon the family board as well as upon
more elaborate fcasts
The napkins should be fresh and
smoothly folded. They should never
be rolled into the grotesque shapes
dear to cheap boarding-houses.
The bonbon, olive or almond dishes
should be placed not far from the cen
ter of the table, on either side. At a
small dinner two Representatives,, salt
cellars and nlustard-pots are plenty.
Tile oil and vinegar cruets should al.
ways be kept full The salt in the cell
lars should be powder and not Jumps,
and should be evenly arranged. No
part of the table appointments should
ever suggest that it is the cleft over"
of a previous meal. That is the real
secret of successfully-laid table.-N

Selecting a Turkey.

A good cook gives these directions:
Choose turkey short and plump in
preference to the others, eyes should
be bright, feet soft, legs smooth, spurs
short and skin should look soft, show
ing layers of yellowish fat and white
flesh. He says look to the joints to see
if they are pliable, and to the end of
the breast bone to see if it is flexible.
This connoissenr further recommends
dry-picked ones as much nicer than
those which have been scalded, and de.
clares hen turkeys are not as finely
favored as cocks. After the pin feath-
ers have been removed with burning
paper and the inside thoroughly rinsed,
both outside and inside should be wiped
dry with clean towel. A turkey to
be stuffed should be prepared the day
before. Ii roasted, it should be cooked
slow and evenly, with frequent bast-
ings of -four and butter. A good fowl
is often spoiled by being baked in too
short time in too hot an oven.-St.

In the early days Of the world, when
man, with his usual unselfishness, was
prone to make burnt offering OF his
brother, aromatic woods were smoked
to counteract the unpleasant odor OF
burning flesh. Such was the origin OF
perfumes, and their lavish use to-day
is too frequently suggestive OF it, The
more OF the primeval savage there
Turks in man the more powerful the
contents of his scent bottle and the
more liberal his patronage of those
| barber shops which torture the nos
trils by their generous use of bay rum
and cheap cologne. Why men, or WON
en- either, should want to make walk
ing aniseed bags Of themselves
is mystery explained only by the un.
pleasant fact that the same class OF
people have a hydrophobic dislike to
water in any form. There is no aroma
so exquisite as that Of the clean, whole
some human body and pure breath.
To disguise it by even the most delicate
| of Partisan extracts is to cast slight
upon gift Of nature. 1t is encourag-
ing TO note, however, that the taste for
perfumes, as for art, is constantly
growing more refined and cultivated in
this country, and the more delicate and
subtle scents only are used for the bath
and linen sachet.
The man who dips his mustache in
| white rose, sprinkles his handkerchief
with violets or dampens his hair with
the dread ioclSy club,i extinct in good
society. Still, there is vast room for

public in the matter of these won
drous compounds OF the chemists skill,
which carry no possible suggestion OF
the fragrance of the blossoms they are
named and labeled after. Who, at d
popular entertainment, has not been
half suffocated By the fumes of the
deadly patchouli, the impossible scent
of the new mown hay, and that favor

been naaseGted 1t some Of our best

Perhaps nothing has done more to
corrupt the delicate sense Of smell than
the rage for pot-porrri, which sprang
up few years ago and ran unuciS
through the country, as did the pea
