The best-dressed woman In the world
is said to be Queen Marguerite Of Italy.
Her wardrobe includes q countless va
riety of elegant costumes, and she sell
dom wears q dress more than once.
This is not quite such recklessly ex-
travagant proceeding as it first ap-
pears, for the queen sells her gowns to
buyers, who are very glad to get them,
even at the high prices which are
charged for them. In this connection
there is pretty story told. Not long
since Queen Marguerite asked her
royal consort for his opinion as to
whether she was still young enough to
wear her favorite costume of white
muslin. His majesty replied: This
matter requires reflection" Two weeks
later box was carried to the queens
apartments; when it was opened the
box was found to be filed with white
gowns which King Humbert had or

WORK ThAT NOuRISHES.


Under Ripe Conditions Toll Develops as
Truly as Exercise.
One of the secrets of life of grow
ing power is to be nourished rather
than depleted by ones work. Activity
is healthful; strain is harmful. Men do
not die of overworlI, but of maladiust-
ment to the conditions of their work;
for under ripe conditions work devel-
ops just as truly as exercise, but under
wrong conditions it dcpletes and de-
stroys. The great workers of the
world have accumulated force rather
than parted with it, and have gath
cred richness of material and the power
of action by the putting forth of their
energics 20 that their lives have moved
toward elimination rather than come
to an early fruition followed by u long
decline. 1t Is easy to detect the differ
ence between the man who is fed by
his work and the man who is drained
by it. There Is an ease, a force and
zcst about the work that nourishes,
which is never long characteristic of
the work that deplctes; for the essen
sential Of the work which nourishes is
its free and unimpeded expression of
the personality of the worker 1t is the
overflow of his own personal energy
and not the strenuous putting forth OF
toilsome effort 1t is significant that
the great artists, as rule, are inn
menscly productive. Michael Angelo,
Raphael, Rubens, Shakespeare, Bolzac
and men of their class attest their
genius not only by the quality of their
work but by it's quantity also. This
means that they have secured the right
adjustments to their conditions, and
that work, instead of being drain,
nourishes and develops the worker.
The man who works with delight and
ease grows by means of his activity,
and the first secret to be learned in
order to rid work of worry and wear is
to take it in a reposeful spirit, to re-
fuse to be hurried, to exchange the
sense Of being mastered by ones occu-
patton for the consciousness of mastery.
To take work easily and quietly, not
because one is indifferent to it, but be-
cause one is fully equal to it, is to take
the first step towards turning work
into play.-Outlook.

A TRIO OF DoILIRS.

latest, most approved style 1t is ten
inches square, is finished with fringe
and is embroidered in one corner only.
When the table is laid these embroi-
dered bits are all turned toward the
center, where they decorate the cloth,
and the plain portion is left free for
the plate. They are really very deco
rative, and If you possess a dozen of
them and few caraffe doilies, besides
q centcrpiece, you are well supplied.
The multitude of smaller ones will
hardly be missed, and you can always
console yourself with the thought that
many object to the too great accumu-
lation Of linen bits.
The wreath and the bow-linot designs
still hold sway. The former is used
almost exclusively for the round doilies,
and the latter is seen upon all sizes and
al sorts. a chrrming set recently sent
to a bride is all done in wreaths of diff
fcrent flowers, no two being exactly
alike, and the whole effect is dainty in
the extreme. For these only solid work
Is used. The flowers are necessarily
small and do not admit of the more
sketchy styles. The work involved is,
of course, considerable, but linen en-
dures so well and the colors of to-day
are made so lasting that it Is thor
oughly well worth the doing.
Ribbons and flowers combined are
always charming and suggestive of the
best French taste. Just now they are
very popular and are rivaled only by
the wreaths. Most needle workers
make the ribbon solid as we'll as the
flowers, but one clever woman has de
vised rapid and effective method OF
her own. She first outlines the entire
design, then fills the space between the
lines with single cat stitching. The
result is really striking and well worth
the trying. The contrast between the
solid flowers and the lighter ribbon is
charming and novel, besides being very
little work. A most successful design
Of the sort is Of white violets tied with
pale yellow ribbon, and it is seldom
one gets better result with even the
most cxacting work.
Luncheons promise to be popular the
season through, and the bare table will
be much in use both for indoor and the
piazza functions These charming bits
of napery will SO find speedy demand
and may well employ all ones leisure
time. Linen is delightful stuff to
handle in the warm summer days, and
an array of we'll selected silks in a
natty basket makes picture not to be
despised.-N. Y, Recorder.

THE LITTLE ENGLISH PRINCE IN HIS COT.
lineage. Even the swinging cradle in
which the wee boy takes his long baby
sleeps has held the infant forrls of
many of his royal grand uncles and
aunts. 1t is the one the queen had in
the royal nursery for her own children,
and it is deemed proper and suitable
that this important successor in the
line should have resting place digni-
fled with heredity.
The cradle swings from a graceful
frame of rich old mahogany inlaid with
gold. Draperies of handsome brocade
of delicate pearl tint are attached
and used to shut off intrusive draughts.
The sheets for this downy nest are of
fine Irish lawn, lace trimmed; the
blankets are softest embroidered Pyre-
mean wool, and the coverlid matches
the pearl brocade. The crown and
three feathers which surmount the
framework are further typical of the
royale estate of the small occupant,
whose baby eyes look out on many
such suggestive emblems.
The layette of the little prince is
peculiarly delicate and dainty. Irish
linen and Spitalfields silk We're used
whenever it was possible, and some of
the lace comes from Northampton. The
work is exquisitely fine, the robes
given by the queen being peculiarly
lovely. One robe is of rich Irish lawn,
hand-embroidered and as fine in text
ure as the famous woven wind" of
India, and the other rich cloak and
hood of pure white zibclline, u beauti-
full sillten material. The tiny hood is
adorned with the Prince of Wales
feathers in pure white ostrich tips.

Cornmeal, the yellow Indian meal of
our pantries, is said to be one of the best

on the toilet stand, and after the faco

with pure, unscented soap, the meal
should be rubbed all over it, well and

Where the piazza is used as n sum
mer sitting-room, table is necessary,
as in a dining-room. A shelf hinged to
the house and so arranged that it can
be raised and lowered is quite service
able, but it is not exactly an ornament
to the house. and the difficulty of ex-
actly matching the paint makes it even
less so. Our illustrations show one
that can be quite readily made by any
one who can drive n nail or fasten a
screw.
The top is of pine wood three-quar-
tcrs of an inch in thickness and twenty
four inches across. As 1t Is difficult to
find a board of sufficient width, two
pieces will have to be glued together
and secured with dowcl pins. There
must b. two of them, driven into the
?iTc of each piece two and one-half
inches, after the edges have been care
fully squared and straightcned by
planning. The holes must be bored with
quGrtor-inch bit, and an equal dis
taEce apart. Make the pegs of oal, to
fit the holes, and after dipping them
into hot liquid glue, drive them into
one piece; then glue the edges, and be-
fore it has time to cool, insert the pegs
in the opposite piece and drive them
tight together.
