The guests look for their place or name
cards at dinner party and thus find their

a clew which will aid them. Tho men of
course find their partners seats. Some
hostesses, in order to shorten the length OF
a formal luncheon or dinner, have the cof-
fee served in the drawing room. Sherbet

cups or in small glass cups. 1t is eaten

pany the sweet course when served. 1t

the greater part of the throne, is now in

As far q can be learned it was the chair

It was taken away during The Franco
Prussian war, just before the appearance
Of the Prussians, by patriotic French
man, who was determined that the chair
in which the emperor had seated himself
should never lie l'ssccratcd by falling into
the hands of the foes Of France. To insure
its safety he stored it away in the cellar OF
his house After his death. few years
ago, his relatives found the chair and sold
IL to a dealer in antiquities.

FACTS CONCERNING CATS.
Faults Attributed to These Animals Are
Not Rare In the Human Character.


A little study into the history of tho
cat comforts all lovers of the beautiful
creature with the fact that the prejudice
against it is of modern origin, and if not
conspicuous for good sense it has at least
an excuse for being. Ancient peoples held
the cat in high esteem. The sentiment of
Egypt is too well known to be repeated
the Romans used the animal as symbol
of unconquerable love of freedom; even
so late as the middle ages it was worship
ed with public honors, and certain
mythical goddess, the wife of Odin, was
represented drawn by pair of cats. From
this fact, indeed has arisen all of pussy's
woe, for when our ancestors became Chris
tian they turned against their whilom
goddess, set her down as q witch, and
her favorite animal, alasl as an attendant
upon witches. The cat S silent and mystic
rious ways unfortunately confirmed the
notion in the minds of the ignorant, and
the bad name chung, as bad names will,
even to this day.
With curious Inconsistency the faults
popularity attributed to this animal are
not rare in the human character, as Il
French cat lover has remarked. Cats are
fond of luXury-cxactly like man; they
select the softcst seats-how otherwise do
we boliaVcy They will not be made slaves
can free mon blame them? They like
sport-do not the dcvotces of red and gun
do the sameY To sum up they are selfish
--alasl are we otherwise? "Wo apply to,
the cat" says "a thoughtful writer, ''tfe
same epithets that u dominant race always
applies to n weaker one which obstinately
refuses to sinkinto contented slavery"
The man who wishes slave, Of course,
prefers the dog which-his best friend
cannot deny it's eminently qualified to
occupy that position. But many of the
most discerning and eminent men have
been lovers of cats, from Mohamfncd, with
his famous pet, Muezza, through q long
list of honorable names too numerous to
mention, down to Gautier, whose black
cat had her scat at the dinner table with
the family.

ton is yes, too but the explanation is
long and complex. Boards will be worn
in varying forms by fashionable men, who
will BIO unanimous in onlyfbne thing-the
desire to remove themselves as far as pos
sible from the Vandyke or Henri III fash
ion..
This is the dictum of NJ. Henri Pouiol,
late of the Jockey club of Paris, and one
| may find assurance of his accuracy in a
stroll down Fifth avenue any afternoon.
The boards are as plentiful as ever, but
the form has changed If you have erred
in your facial make up; read what the
New York Herald has further to tell on
this subject and be warned.
Probably no more graceful way Of wear
ing natures facial upholstery was ever in
vented than that which was affected by
Henri III. BY making the point at the
chin longer or shorter and by clipping
the cheeks with greater or less severity
this style was easily made to conform to
any set of features. That very adaptabili
ty proved its ruin, says the journal men,
toned. Too many men found it conven-
lent to dress the beard la Vandyke. To-
day you shall find dusty fellows sweeping
the streets whose white duck suits and ar
row pointed boards give them from afar
the aspect of fashionable lieutenants in the
navy.
Whittier should fashionable men turn
for relief from these intolerable imita-
tons? Why, to the illustrious examples of
Francois |, of course. He too, was annoy
cd by too many faithful copyists of his
spiky whiskers. Instead of wearing one
point on his chin, he straightway set up
two And that is just what the smartest
men in town are doing today. The cheeks
should be clipped closely as in the days of
Henri ILL., and the mustaches should be
as long as they We're in that period, but
now there must be two points on the chin.
A man whose face is thin should wear
these points as short and widely spread as
possible. Thus he will give his lean and
hony physingnomy plump and comfort
able appearance. Tho well fed citizen, with
jolly jowls, should have the points long
and rather close to each other =. Thus he
shall avoid looking like a large pink cir
cular saw with two teeth.
There is another mode for the benefit of
the sedate person who would avoid the Ill
ira smaTtness of the Francois fashion It
is the Henri " style. The beard here,
while parted at the chin, is broader and
deeper than that of Francois l. II gives
the wearer an appearance of greater age
than the two frivolous chin spikes. It
commcnds itself to young physicians, and
it gives assurance to young lawyers. 1t is
a strong and helpful beard.
Then there is the Messonier beard. 1t
is true that the great painter did not have
his beard combed and clipped as nicely as
one should expect to find the beard Of q
bright and shining example, but the idea
was there The style is his. Strange that
one whose painting goes into such micro
scopioal nicely of detail should display
fondness for such broad, large effects in
whiskers!
1t will be noticed that all the styles of
wearing the beard this winter show two
points ut the chin. That is the great the
dominant idaa Tho sin ole r,pirt ,a1lst no
