sent the four seasons. The spring table
will have decorations Of dafodils and
jonquils, with white and gold china and
yellow ribbons to tic the napkin, and
white ices and bonbons. The summer
table is rose table, with white Havi-

buds, the sweets and ices being rose

Autumn will have the luncheon cloth
strewn with cherries in their natural
tints, bowls heaped with grapes and

Of the nasturtium and goldenrod, while
the winter table may be appropriately
modelled after the most suggestive deco

Milk and butter should always be kept
in compartments especially set aside fol-

does not provide for this, do not fail to
keep both articles well covered, Milk
will readily absorb the flavors Of the
other food, and the butter, if left expos

THE COLONIAL TYPE.
REVIVAL OF THE FURNITURE OF A
CENTURY AGO.

A Style FREQ From Extravaganza and Ex-
treme Conceits and Possessing Stateliness
Without Stihness-Thc Colonial Mantels.
Typical Colonial Parlor Fully Furnished.
The colonial style of late years has
obtained o considerable degree of at
tention. Its revival is renaissance of
the colonial chairs, tables and cabinets
Of century ago, and, although based
upon classic lines, is positive creation,
characterized by charming individual
ity. The colonial mantels arc construct
i've features Of apartments and arc
usually Of wood, bearing floral garlands
and pendants in relief. Tho pillows
bearing the shelves arc fine examples Of
turnery, and much of the pleasing effect
Of the mantel is due to tho fine proper
tions maintained by the delivery Of re-
lief work i'll cornice and holdings, made
moro effective by ample and we'll con-
siderod spacing.
Tho most elaborate carving appears
to have been reserved for the round CEN
ter tables for parlors and drawing rooms,
and variety Of small tables are notice
ablo for extreme refinement Of line
One admires tho fine workmanship of
tho table, which after half q century of
s$Taining wear gives no sign Of unsta-
blcness, no wavering even Of the extend
ed leaf that seems hung in the air,
Colonial chairs arc invariably to be
admired, combining as they do artistic
beauty with strength. The backs goner-

first, and he places his dinner partner

first, and he places his dinner partner
at his right, as do all tho other men.
There has been much dispute in Amer
lea regarding the proper arm for q man
to use when taking a woman into the
dining room, but The Delineator au-
thority for the following, says that the
left is most appropriate. This mode of
escorting her allows her to pass in froat
of him, and her costume is thus not in
his way. Spurs We're once Worn by most
men of rank with evening dress and are
still used in this way by army officers,
and they are apt to interfere with dra-
pcries that arc not properly cared for
when one is going to table. The right
arm is proffered for the assistance of
women, save when they are in court cir
cles or are on their way to the altar.
When dinner is finished, the hostess
bows to the lady at her husbands right,
and at this signal all the ladies rise.
The hostess partner opens the door or
draws back its draperios, or if neither
service is required, he stands beside tho
doorway until all the ladies' have passed
out when he joins the other men at tho
table for chat and smoke unless
there is q smoking room.
If coffee is not served in the dining
room, it should be passed in the draw
ing room or parlor after the entire COM
pany is again assembled, which should
be not more than half an hour after the
termination Of the dinner The coffee
should be strong and clear, and while
some like sugar in it and few add
cream it is usually taken without either
as an aid to digestion.
A small dinner is usually followed
by general conversation and perhaps
little music by ono or several Of the COM
pany, and the guests take their dopar-
tmo at 10 O'Clock or little later Such
dinner will be one Of tho most delight
full of social gatherings if the guests
are grouped with discreet regard for
their congeniality and each one strives
to supply his or her part Of tho conver-
sation and to mako others appear to
good advantage.
Failures Of the cook, should there be
any, must be passed without comment
either from the host on from tho guests.
The hostess must be called upon or
note of thanks written to her within
week after the dinner.

A DINNER PARTY.
Guggestions That May Prove Helpful to
Both the Hostess and Her Guests.

'uggestions That May Prove Helpful to
Both tho Hostess and Her Guests.
For adinner party Of six or eight peo-
plo the hostess arranges her guests in
her mind when she plans the entertain
ment, and she points out where tho sew
eral couples are to seat themselves after
all have entered the dining room.
While receiving her guests in tho draw
ing room she mentions to each gentlo-
man tho name of the lady whom he is to
take in to dinner as soon as he has paid
his respects to herself, and if he is un-
acquainted with his partner he is form
ally introduced. On reaching tho table
the guests remain standing by their
chairs until tho hostess is seated.
The eldest lady, or she who is stran-
ger to most of those present, or sho who
is most distinguished, goes in to dinner
with the host, he offering her his left
arm. If the guest Of honor is man, he
accompanies tho hostess, who takes his
left arm, this couple entering the din
ing room last. The host always goes in

Many of the silk ones have the lower
half black and the upper half of some
delicate light shade. Where pink is
used in this way the result has some

canvas shoes, with a white openwork
stocking, arc still to be worn with

is long and thin and the forehead high,
do,not assume a pompadour roll or an

boarding His MaEpie

Doctor Glynn, benevolent but &C.

land, was once consulted by poor
woman about her only son, too i'll to be
brought to the doctors office The ma
ternal anxiety SO affected the doctor
that he went several times to see the
boy, though the roads were almost i'm
passable for q carriage, and supplied
him with bark and port wine at his
own expense.
The boy recovered, ana one morning
the mother entered the doctors room
bringing a large wicker basket.
I'VE can't get no rest, DOCTOR" said
she, for thinking of the trouble you
have had, and so my boy resolved this
morning to send you his pet magpie." !"
The doctor looked at the bird, re-
marked that he was a fine fellow, and
then continued:
Il am very thankful to your son, and
very proud of his present; but am a
good deal from home, and my servant
is a careless fellow, and I am afraid
that he might forget to feed him. /
must therefore request you to keep
him for me, and I will allow you a
shilling week for his board as long as
he lives"
The old woman accepted the good
mans thoughtful suggestion, and was
paid the first months board in ad.
