A tree luncheon Is a festivity which has
an American flavor to it, and v lich depends

first requisite is large, shapely tree. with
branches spreading gracefully at quite
distance from the ground. Midway bet tween
the ground and that part oil the trunk where
the branches begin to spread, large plat,
form should be built out, supported at the
corners opposite the trees by strong beams.
1t should be surrounded by Il rustic fence
having Il little wicket gate FronIthe ground
to this gate stairs should lead and the stair
rail should he of the same rustic variety as
the fence. This platform is capable of many
transformations. A hammock swung in it
makes it the coolest of lounging places. The
children and their toys convert 1t into an
admirable summer nursery Books and a
small writing table make it an outdoor
reading room. But it is a spot for a lunch
party that is most attractive Four snail
tables, arranged to allow free passage of
the servant among them and each seating

The solid fact about Lenox that awes a
beholder is the bigness of the estates. Mrs.
-Hopkins-Searles had grounds of 300 acres
to leave to her handsome husband.
Anson Phelps Stokes cottage, "shadow
Brook" Is not only the largest country
house in America, but 1t has enormous
barns below it in the valley, and its thou
sands OF acres of land stretch away toward
the summit of Bald Hill.
John E. Parsons, the counsel of the sugar
trust, must have as many acres at "Ston-
over" In short, the hume grounds of these
great houses cover from 100 to 1 900 acres
each.
Nor is II mere. fiction to call these places
farms. George Westinghouse, 1r., the cleo
trician. raises thousands of chickens I'm his
coops at Erskine Park. Mr.. Parsons, Mr.
Stokes and Mr.. Sloane keep many cows,
and Miss Carey Is not alone in having thirty

Need 1T be said that land has increased
enormously in value in Lenox since its days
of unaniateur farming? The acre price of
farms runs well into the thousands, and
Mr.. Stokes is said to have paid $40, coo

Frizzes and Curls.
A revolution is at hand. The implements
OF warfare will be a toothed crinipine
iron, a wire frame, and some extra hair il
the home grown crop is insufficient to
produce the necessary abundant effect.
The severe simplicity we have been af-
fecting of late was not becoming TO many
of US. 1t was adorable when the profile
was fine and the cheeks delieately modelled.
but when these projections were lacking it
was, to say the least, trying. Who does
not recall the attractive girl. with full
red cheeks. and plea SAINT, blunt features,
who made a caricature of herself by part
ing her hair and drawing it over her ears
after the style of prevailing modes?
The only disadvantage of the incoming
styles is that they are apt 10 inaugurate
an era of false hair, rs the component parts
of which the new coiffurc is composed may
all bc bought individually and adjusted
American women wear less false hair,
propor,ionately, than the women OF any
other country. English women of all
classes load their heads with false '.fringes"
we call them bangs-toupees, switches,
scalpets and every other device of the
money making hair-dresser. The hair
problem is 4 very erious one to the average
English woman In the arrangement of
her hair she is almost as helpless as her
japanese sister.
This is particularly true on festal occa-
sions: no matter how small and early, her
hair must be dressed If she has not a maid
she calls in the services of the knight of the
tongs. And he crirnps and frizzIes and
waves till the result produced recalls Dan
lei webster's Wonderful, wonderful; would
that could say impossible" But can for
give the English woman much in the wayof
such harmless adornment, because she
washes her head in soap and water, which
is more than can be said for the French
woman. Madame first puts the yolk of an
egg on her head. and then washes it off
in a scented decoction of bay rum and
Quinine, which may be very good indeed for
an occasional dressing. but is little short of
disgusting for a constant wash

Like pure white rose leaves are her cheeks
In hue;

Upon her throat pearls CLEAN like sunkissed

Her ermine cloak half hides a white suede
shoe,
While valley lilies and white vioIets
crown
The splendor of her beauty, whose renown
Is great as that which Titian'smodeis knew.
As slowly she descends the marble stair,
A radiant vision In the brilliant light,
She looks like some white statue fraught

And I, who marvel she can be so fair,
Know that her vestaisoul Is Just as white,
And that she will be faithfuiunto DEATH
