SOMETHING USEFUL AND PRETTY,

Many Of the handsome game sets have
each plate decorated In different de-
sign.
The carafe Is 20 longer fashionable,
aud in It's place has come the cut-glass
ice pitcher.
Rose punch Is frequently served in
very small gold bowls designed iOr the
purpose.
Anew bonbon dish represents faint
ly-tinted orchid, In pale yiolet-hue, with
gilt edges.
Traps aud baskets Of Royal Worcester
ware are much liked for olives and
sailed almonds.
A knife used for cutting brick ice
cream is OF silver, with broad blade
tapering to point.
The new platters for cold meats are
perfectly fiat, with narrow upright
rim, aud garnished edge.
Quaint shaped dishes for salted a.
mouds are 10 the form OK a half almond
In soft browns and yellowS.
Dainty little glasses, in the shape Of
tulips, with delicate silver tracery, are
used 20 serve "frappe" in, popular Ice
for afternoon teas.
For receptions and other gatherings,
small baskets are lined with fresh Sprigs
OF mint and filled with cream pepper
minis and wintergreeRs.
One Of the latest novelties is recep-
ton plate, which is half plate aud half
tray. Il contains q socket 10 mold q
glass or cup without the tray.
A new finger bowl consists OF two
bowls. one inside the other, the outer
bowl being about six inches larger than
the inner one. The space between the
bowls is filed with flowers.
A new kind Of music holder is one
made Of dark red felt, pinked out at
the edges, and embroidered not only
with the word Music, but with bars
OF music and notes. The felt is shaped
into a narrow bag, which holds the
music lengthwsy, aud il has leather
handles.
A pretty work basket, or, 10 speak
more correctly, a work stand, in brass
has been brought out. II is made with
a bag between the two sides 10 hold the
work, aud when standing this remains
| open, but 10 closing the bag you close
up the stand. and il can be set aside 10
a small compass like tuck.aw3y table.
At the present moment gold an1 silver
sDangles can be turned 10 the BEST &C
count Some charming embroidery on
cream and other light eOlored atins
which hail from Paris are worked in
/ 6ne silks with these spangles introdue-
ed. have seen narrow work cass on
card board ioundatiOn-th thus treated,
and the same kind Of work is applied 20
table centres, chair coverings, cushions,
photograph frames, AID other uses.
The large flower baskets have now
prevailed quite long time, in spite Of
he provsrbial fckleness OF fashion,

new, but think the revivals Of the old
fashioned work tables, for the table
could be made to hold photographs,
books. etc, while the silk bag beneath
could be drawn out when in Use, aud be
made to hold great deal when slipped
in It's place beneath the table.
For rooms just now, when Towering
plants are rather scarce, expensive foli'
age plants are the order OF the day, as
they last much longer and are less
trouble TO keep in a fresh condition.
The shades of these foliage plants seem
TO become richer and more beautiful
every year, and many new kinds have
been added to those already existing,
the Crotans especially are in splendid
condition. and by their means any room
can be made TO look cheerful and charm
ing with comparatively little outlay.
For bridesmaids, baskets OF the
Dolly Warden shape, made OF green
rush, are being revived this autumn;
there is to be a very novel arrangement
Of ribbon bows carried out on the
hapdles. the aim being to produce
grace effect on the dress all down the
side: the baskets will be carried on
the arm mot held out awkwardly In
the hand, a habit which has ere now
too frequently spoiled the appearance
OF some otherwise well designed cos
tunnel, the creepers and ribbons (the
latter arranged in quite novel man
ner) forming trimming for the side OF
the dress.
Not for years has neckwaar attract ed
so much attention. The utility OF COM
plete neck trimmings which can be
quickly adjusted TO any gown has made
them ready sellers among retail mer-
chants. Manufacturers, anticipating
that the practibiity Of these articles OF
fancy lingerie would be readily recog =
nized, nave produced variety of Diff
ferent styles 10 meet the requirements
of a popular as we'll as the finer class OF
the trade. The more expensive effects
are made of the richest material mag
Unable, such as striped, figured or beau
tiful fancy silks, mousseiine de sole,
gauze, tulle, aud old fashioned silk
blonde.
A fashionable woman's work-0asket
has much the effect OF jewel case
these days. It's latest addition is a very
costly thimble, studded with jewels.
Thin bles vary in price from forty-five
cents to SSj. 1t is interesting to see the
variety between these two prices. The
latest silver thimbles are oraamented
with a narrow rim of pale blue enamel
and studded here and there with tiny
turouoises. Gold thimbleS now sparkle
with the owners birth stones. FIRE.
quently, small gems are set in circle
about the thimbe. A charming gift
for the woman who is fond OF the needle
consists of pair of god-handled scis-
sors, incruSted with dark blue enamel,
and gold thimble, ornamented with a
rim Of the dark enameling.

HINTS TO HOUSEWIVES.

Turkeys become much more tender

Change dishes upon which meat, poul-
try or fish is kept, daily.
Milk applied once q week with soft
cloth freshens and preserves boots and

Hang meat up in cold weather for
several days before cooking and -four il
before you hang it up.
One Of the easiest ways OF taking
cold is to drop asleep without sn extra
wrap over the shoulders.
Bluing added to the rinse water does
not whiten the clothes, only covers dirt,
and need not ever be used.
Pork is said to be much more digest

These ARB the days when extra care
should be taken to keep the feet per

the white clothes. They need a much
quicker process, aud the long delays OF
an ordinary wash day would ruin them.
While cleaning a sewing machine,
cover all the bearing with kerosene
oil, work the machine quickly for a
few minutes, then thoroughly rub all
the oil off with rags, and apply oil to
the parts which need it.
Yellow being the color of sunlight, is
a good color for room with norther-
~ exposure, where the sun seldom pen
etrateS. IL has the virtue Of never tir-
ing the eyes, as red or blue is apt to do,
and carries the effect of warmth,
Every good housekeeper browns and
rolls or CRATES her stale bread, thus
hoving it in readiness for Scallops or
frying meats, fish, croQuettes. LATTER
being rolled, il is put through the flour
sieve the additional ineness will amply
repay the trouble.
A clothespin bag, made of bed-ticking
or something stout, in the form Of q
pocket with q slit on the front side, is
mucn easier 70 get al than common
bag. A bed-tiCking apron with large
pocket across the bottom Is better thau
either.
II you have many short stemmed
flowers 70 arrange it is well 10 fill low
dish with damp moss, then with a sharp
stick dibbe holes in the moss and insert
the stems. When the flowers have
faded the moss may be dried and used
again. Pausies show 10 better advan-
tage in this way than in any other.
Innamed eyes which will yield to no
other treatment, will sometimes be ben
Gifted by tealeaf poultice. Pour
boiling water On the leaves, and let
them stand until they are quite soft,
then left the leaves on to soft cloth
aud bind them directly on the closed
eyes. This should be done 81 night,
and removed 10 the morning.
To make cruel for sick friend, take
corn meal and slit il into quart OF
boiling water. stirring it until it is OF
the consistency OF cream. Add salt 10
flavor and let it simmer for bali an hour
or longer, then run it through fne
sieve. Pour your boiling cruel into a
bowl Of milk or cream, aud YOU have .
drink a sick person ought 10 relish.
White suede gloves may be cleaned by
using dry pipe clay aud an old tooth
brush. White cle,h such as is worn on
military uniforms can be cleaned in the
same way. Wet the clay and rub il Wig
orously. 1t will make an awful looking
mess at first, and you will tht~k that
you have ruined the cloth, but just
rinse out the brush and scour the cloth
with fresh water and Is will come out
looking all right.
To keep flowers fresh keep them moist
and cool. The heads OF sweet smell
ing flowers should not be sprinkled, a:
that causes them 10 lose their perfume.
Those who wish TO carry flowers any
distance should wrap them 10 wei
paper, and pack them in box. The
heads OF the carnalion pinks ad delicate
white flowers should be covered with
Noiled paper. Florists send flower:
thousands o. miles by observing these
PRECAUTIONS.

Useful Information.

A pretty idea which originated with
q bright young hostess is very pleasing.
On strip of white satin ribbon, which
hangs from tiny brass rod in her guest
chamber she has written the hours for
the meals in her house, the hours for
arrival and departure of the principal
mails, and on the back Of 1t there is
pasted a perpetual calendar. Now,
there is unauthorized sense for you. 1t
saves lot of questions, insures punch
atty at meals-if her guests have any
sense OF honor-and helps a recreant
memory, when important communities
tions might be neglected but for this
gentle inspiration.

arrive as the luncheon guests are in the
act of departing.
Take it all in all, new neighbors are
more often asked to dinner than TO
luncheon, the former fuaction being
considered the most formal one OF the
two. On the other hand, those who
do not give dinner parties are glad TO
avail themselves OF this midday hospi-
ptality, and invite both old friends and
new neighbors to luncheon in turn.
In the matter OF calling, it is not the
rule to do so after an Invitation to lun-
cheon il accepted; IL otherwise. a call
should be paid at an early date.
1t is = noticeable fact that but little
wine is drunk In most houses at lun-
cheon by either men or women; a glass
of claret or little claret and water, or
even water. only, is usual with the ma
jorlty of ladies. Even q man seldom
cares for much more than glass Of
cIaret and some of the many mineral
waters. Sherry is neglected, while
champagne, &C.. are only offered at
dinner save on special occasions-a big
shooting lunch, fer instance, given bY q
bachelor to young men.

LUNCHEON PARTIES.
Rules GcvernIng the Afternoon Home
entertainments.


Entertainments.
There is no invitation more readily
responded to than one to luncheon. 70
be asked to luncheon provokeS nothing
but cheerful acceptance. 1t means
on the face OF it a morning and after
noon drive, or q walk, short meal and
agreeable society. No misgivings pass
through the feminine mind as TO the sd-
visibility OF accepting II on the score
of evening toilette.
In this month scarcely anyone is
without a visitor at luncheon, and every
dav in the week, in most houses, one or
two, and frequently more are invited to
drive over TO luncheon, Sunday except.
ing. Sunday luncheons are the rule In
smart city circles; 10 the country they
are the exception. An unwritten law
is in force against using carriages and
horses on Sundays save for church
going In the morning, or for any i'm
portant purpose under which head wis
itng" comes not, and most country
gentry stand by this general ooserV-
ance.
Not only is luncheon sociable meal,
but il is most useful institution on
several accounts. II enables neighbors
almost beyond dining distance TO meet
frequently at each others houses. The
expense and trouble it entails are tri-
fling as compared with that occasioned
by dinner party, while actually guests
are brought into far closer intercourse
with their entertainers than is possible
at the latter function, besides which. it
is quite immaterial whether ladies' are
in the majority or not Generally they
are so, aud perhaps only one or two
men represent the sex. This Is due to
their Out-of-dOor pleasures and occupa-
/ tions.
Then, too, guests are DOT sent in to
luncheon as at dinner. The hostess leads
the way with the lady or highest rank,
followed by the other ladies walking to-
gether or side by side, the gentlemen,
even the host, bringing up the rear.
When a host is present the ladies OF
highest raak sit on either side OF him,
or, 10 his absence, next 10 the hostess,
unless gentlemen occupy those places.
Luncheon seldom lasts half an hour, and
the conversation is invariably general,
no tete-a-tete as at dinner, ana the host
aud hostess taking the lead, and every
| one Joining in more or less.
Tue luncheon hour varies from half
past one u. u. 10 three o'clock, but the
later hour draws too much upon the sf-
ternoon OF the short daylight The
I hostess gives the signal for the move

A Cnrlon. Pledge.

A curious pledge has been taken by a
lot Of San Francisco girls at the instiga-
ton of their pastor, a DR.. Martin. These
young women made VOW that not one
OF them would ever hold secret en-
gagement or receive attentions from
any man that their parents did not ap-
prove; that, come what may, nothing
could ever induce them TO break the
vow they so solemnly made. The thing
was thought to be a joke at first, but on
inquiry it was found that the young
women had thus pledged themselves.

The German servant girl in Chicago
who has married an Americanized
Chinese may not regret her act, as the
Celestial is usually said to make a kind

tive, they manage to escape the moral
suffering that falls TO the lot OF better
bred women who make misalliance.

Mrs. William Mids and Mrs. +. +.
Egarton, members of the woman's
auxiliary of the Chicago Hussars, have
had the courage TO wear the divided
skirt and ride astride when they daily
appear on the boulevard. Mrs. Mida
says lit is the only way to ride. One
enjoys greater ease in the saddle ana
can sit with absolute frmness. 1t is
more graceful, modest and less con-
spicuous than the other way"

A Good Example.

The daughters Of the late Comte de
Paris have set a good example TO rich
girls who are called into mourning by
sending their clothing, including all
their cOiored gown, &C., TO the people
living near Stowe, their late residence.
Fifty PACKAGES OF clothes were thus dis
posed Of among families who find IL
hard work 70 dress suitably, and TO
whom these "cast offs" have a value
aside from mere worth. In these days
OF rapidly changing fashions it is folly
20 hoard stuffs whose styles are as
ephemeral as the material forming 1t.
