Kate Jordan's Bright, Breezy and Timely
Observations.
Sometimes dainty little dinner is
completely marred by weak or taste
less dessert. To make Siberian punch at
home, pour a little of the best Jamaica
rum over the platter of ice cream, and as
an appetizing decoration cover it with
the clear, preserved cherries.
Sometimes the feminine detective is
nuisance in the large shops of our big
cities. When competition sets in be-
tween few of them, then let the most
innocent shopper beware. Il sharp lace
pin or a gauzy handkerchief happens to
adhere to her fuzzy sleeve while passing
a counter, she runs chances of being ar
rested. searched and is perhaps forced to
spend at least bad quarter of an hour
trying to prove her innocence.
Sometimes women are charged with
being hard hearted. In affairs of the
heart they may at times be little
| cruel but their sensitiveness to suffering
in dumb animals is particularly acute
A small club has been started i'll New
York by little woman who is q bundle
of nerves and sympathies. One of the
rules is worth recording: mo member
shall decorate her hat with any part of
bird. She shall not eat HOLSTERS, crabs,
/ pate de fois gras nor any food supplied
| through unnecessary torture to an ami
NAL" HOLSTERS. crabs, etc, are boiled
alive. The delicious, imported pates are
made from the livers of unhappy geese
who are stuffed to repletion until the
liver is abnormally swollen and the bird
on the verge Of apoplezy; hence the in
| terdict.
Sometimes dead, pale skin, despite
the feet that noyelists continually give
their heroines a ''clear, soft pallor,' is
exceedingly annoying. As remedy try
iron in some form just after eating. a
glass Of undiluted c!aret or port at
luncheon and dinner and regular walk
ing in the open air, no matter what the
weather may be.
Sometimes fashion revenges herself
cruelty upon her devotees. The present
style of couture is exceedingly trying
to plain women. When the face is too
long, the hair should not be parted in
| the middle, even though to arrange it
otherwise marks one as not quite up to
date" A woman who looks older than
her years should not wear the old fash
Toned banded style minus bang. This
viii add settled look anything but
attractive. 1t is peculiarly adapted TO
the baby style of face.
Sometimes cherries dining room or
one not quite in good taste interferes
with that atmosphere of conviviality
that should prevail around the friendly
board. The very happiest ones for n
dining room are to be found in dark,
1 polished wood, warmly tinted but not
glazing rugs, green things growing near
swiss draped window, the blue and
white of old delft ON artistic shelving
that can easily be put up, and over it
all, in winter, the irregular Pickering Of
an open fire.
Sometimes an artist has to select the
good points Of many models 10 make one
perfect figure. | understand that Mr..
George Wade. the English sculptor, is
authority for the fact that few women
possess really beautiful arms. The bone
Is usually too prominent at the wrist and
elbow. Pretty women As rule have
