DRESDEN LUNCHEON.
It Is All the Vogue for Springtimo
Entertainments
Delightful Combination of the Dainty
with the Elegant-Every Dish, Cup o.
Saucer Used Must Re OF Gcnu-
Inc Dresden China.

very dainty and fowery style of
luncheon is the vogue for springtime
entertainments, and into it's scheme
enter all the features, each and every
one, of the pretty table and its setting
forth. This is known as the Dresden
luncheon.
First of all it is imperative that the
menu be as simple and limited as good
taste will allow.
Five courses, or six, including cof-
fee, are now considered sufficient for
the most elegant and formal luncheon
party. A hostess bears in mind that it
is supposedly slight midday meal
that she is serving to guests who
have breakfasted late and whose din
ner in the evening will be more or less
elaborate and substantial.
Bouillon, game, an entree, a salad,
dessert and coffee, is the accepted
menu.
With this most sensible innovation
of simplicity care is taken that the ap-
pointments of service and table deco
ration are as light and dainty as the re-
past. That they are very handsome
and exquisite in detail does not mean
that the effect of simplicity is not Sc
cured in perfection.
The Dresden luncheon Is considered
to combine the dainty with the ele-
giant more delightfully."- than any other
design of artistic entertainments yet
seen The keynote is the blending
everywhere upon the table of the del.
icate Dresden china colors, blue, pink,
yellow and violet.
The fine flowers seen upon the royal
china are scattered in embroidery over
the linen centerpiece; on this stands n
Dresden bowl holding an old-fashioned
nosegay of pink rosebuds, hot-house
daisies with their yellow centers, pan
sizes and heliotrope. These are tied

fine blue flowers, like scillas. A few

variety of their shapes the prettier.

cards are matS of water-colors paper
and the design painted in water color.
The color of the painted ribbon bows
in the designs given varies in the diff
ferent cards in blue, pink, yellow and
violet, and where the loop and end ex-
tend over the edge they are cut out,
making the ribbon look more realistic.
The sign of all Dresden ware from
the royal factories is the tiny blue
crossed swords on the reverse or bot
tom of the dish, without which no piece
is genuine; so on the back of the cards
one must be sure to paint the sword
sign in just the right shade of old blue,
thus making complete the idea of a
veritable feast of of royal Dresden.
A very new and pretty design for
name-cards at these luncheons is the
violet one shown in the second picture.
A plain white or cream square envelope
is used for this card. Where the name
Is to be seen an opening like that of a
picture frame is cut through the face
of the envelope, line of narrow gild-
ing finishing the edge. The name of
the guest is written on plain card and
put inside the envelope so as to show
through the opening.
Some other small graceful flower in
place of the violet Is sometimes painted
on 1t with good effect; and if one col
or, as yellow, for instance, pred omi-
mates in the table decorations, design
of jonquils or buttercups is chosen.
A cardboard rest is tied in at the top
of these envelope cards by narrow
ribbon caught through two little Sits
in the envelope over the one in the rest
itself. They are then stood around the
table like dainty little picture frames,
which in reality they are, making the
most charming souvenirs when taken
home and a small photograph substi-
tuted for the card with the name on it.

more spring-like picture than this

A GROWING PASSION.
The Almost Universal Love for Floral
Beauties.

Time was when an admiration for
''posies' and desire TO wear or Guilt
vate them were looked upon by GER
tain class of men as an evidence of
weakness or effeminacy.
There are, no doubt, even now rare
cases in which all of these garden beau
ties are called weeds, and the front
dooryard is thought to be much better
occupied when adorned with the wood
pile, divers and sunday farm imple-
ments, roots crops fo stock or the vari-
Gus vegetables usually found in the
kitchen-garden. One practical farmer
sowed oats up to his very doorsteps;
another thought that white beans were
much more sensible than them weeds"
as he called flowers of all sorts.
These garden beauties the few that
his wife and daughters managed to get
from the neighbors and interested
friends, were made short work of by
this short-sighted farmer, who shipped
off their heads with scythe or amused
himself by cracking his whip at them
and whipping off the blossoms as fast
as they appeared. But with our higher
education we have rooted out the most
of this unworthy estimate, and almost
all farmers, even the most obtuse. are
beginning to recognize the commercial
value of members of the floral king
dom. Possibly the pinmoney that the
wives and children collect during the
summer and which eles out many a
small income has had something to do
with this change in sentiment.

most a universal passion, and it is with
the keenest pleasure that the student
of human nature observes pots of
plants in all locations where even bit
of sunshine can be found for them.
Even on the north side of some of the
large buildings there are plants that
their owners seem determined to coax
into luxuriance. They are carefully
trained and looked after and bear the
marks of intelligent and interested at
tention. One may go through certain
quarters of our large cities and see
more than half of the windows filed
with blooming plants of various sorts
or with those that furnish an endless

it from beginning to end, to have been

life is all that we have been taught it
is-and ! believe il to be that and

MAKING CHANGE.
An Art In which Few Excel and in Which
Blunders Are Easily Made.

Making change is an art in which
few excel and even those who do some
times make serious errors. When an
error is made and it is in favor of the
shopkeeper there is never any diff
Guilty in having a correction made. but
when it is in favor of the purchaser
one has to bring the most convincing
proof to bear before the matter is adj
justed. There are some exceptions,
however, as an incident which occurred
in one of the downtown hotels the
other day will show
A nicely-dressed gentleman with a
diimond stud as large as the headlight
of a locomotive walked into the office
and up to the clerks desk.
"Will you change bin so that can
get four dollars?" he asked.
81 guess so" responded the clerk me
chanically.
The gentleman drew a small roll of
money from his pocket, and peeling off
the outside bill, tossed it on the coun-
ter. 1t was ten-dollar bill.
The clerk counted out five silver dol
lars, and with them laid a 'five-dollar
bill on the counter.
The gentleman surveyed the lucre a
few seconds, and then said: II guess
you've made a mistake, haven't you?'
NO; you gave me ten dollars" re-
piled the clerk. land that's what
have given you"
II gave You twenty-dollar bill, sir. :"
aid the gentleman, confidently, land

The clerk commenced searching
through the money-drawer, and the
gentleman reassuringly continued: 81

Il thought il was a new bill" said

the drawer is a ten. However, !
nay be mistaken, and will pay you
what you think is right"
About this time the gentleman dis
covered that he had two twenties in
ais pocket, and that, instead of peeling
off one of them. he had given the clerk

he had been trying to work a game on
him. The gentlemen were strangers

Queer Happenings in a Hurrieane.

A story comes by mail from the far
east and tells one more of the wonder
full things which happen to those who
have their homes on the great waters.
The story concerns the big four-masted
iron ship Lucipara. She halls from
Glasgow and recently made voyage
from Sharpness to Sydney, y. ;. w.
While sailing along between the Cape
of Good Hope and Australia the ship
ran into a hurricane, or was overtaken
by one. about midnight. Suddenly the
sea, which had been dangerously high,
became calm and To those on the ship
il seemed as if the surface of the
ocean had been subjected to an enor-
nous pressure. by which the waves
were stilled. Without warning the
men were almost blinded by "a sheet of
flame which enveloped the ship from
stem TO stern and reached half way
up the masts. This wave of flame
surged back and forth, fore and aft,
for few seconds and was then Snuffed
out as suddenly as il had appeared,
leaving captain and crew cropping about
in intense darkness. The binding
glare was extremely painful TO the
ewes. but caused no damage either to
the men or 10 the ship. Capt. Witt
said il was his first experience of the
kind. and he hoped il would be the
