HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS
GEESE AND DUCKS.


Geese and ducks should be young.
but it is moro difficult to judge OF the
age and quality of the goose than OF
any other bird. Both geese and ducks
should have white, soft fat, yellow feet
and tender wings. The wlndplPe
should be brittle, breaking easily
when pressed with the thumb and
finger. Wild and tame are usually
easily distinguishable. One point can
always be noted. Tame ducks have
thick, yellowish feet, while wild ducks
have feet of a reddish tinge. OF the
wild ducks the finest is the canvas
back, which is distinguished from the
others by the feathers Of the head be,
ing short and smooth, and the head
and neck OF deep chestnut color. The
bill is entirely greenish black, while
that of the red head, which with the
mallard ranks next in quality to the
canvas back, is dull blue. New York

THE DINNER TABLE.


Celery glasses are quite out OF date
and long and low glass dishes shaped
ike Q scroll are in vogue.
Chop dishes are quito round and re-
yemble an immense plate.
Bouillon cups are made with or
without covers; they are low and
broad and have handles on each side.
One of the latest things in decoration
shows . deep border of solid dark
green with q vein Of gold in small en-
graved vandykes.
The ornate rococo style with its
elaborate ornamentstions is FeleSated
to occasions of extreme elegance OF
Iccount of its costliness.
Fern dinners come to match dinner
or luncheon sets, or they are OF
pierced silver. Growing ferns in tin
-eceptacles are placed in them.
Fruit dishes are low or in graceful
basket shape; they are OF hammered
or fihgree silver, of Doulton or Wedg-
wood, or of cut or gold engraved
glass.
Low, broad vegetable dishes are fash
ionable; the newest have the handles
formed Of twisted ribbons in pale blue,
pink or green. They are new and yer!
graceful.
Coffee cups arc usually of the low,
English shape, or high, and set upor
a gilded base. Handsome ones are oi
pale blue or pink egg-shell china SCI
in holders of fiIigree silver or silve
gilt.
inexpensive fruit sets are of white
china formed of bars, through ribbon
is woven in and out; these are very
pretty, as any colored ribbon may b
introduced to match the decorations a
