An amusing story is told Of Robert

and another equally celebrated compos-
or. The incident occurred o after
the publication of Francs famous
"Open letter TO Edward Hanslick, " in
which he made severe criticism upon
some musical work Of the composer.

Franz had occasion at that time u
take a five or six hours trip by rail In
the compartment with him was n little
man with whom he fell into converaa.

other delightful and whiled the hourl
away in agreeable talk, which did moi
turn upon music.

latest, most approved style it is ten
inches square, is finished with a fringe
and is embroidered in one corner only.
When the table is laid these embroi-
dered bits are all turned toward the
center. where they decorate the cloth,
and the plain portion is left free for
the plate. They are really very deco
rative, and If you possess a dozen of
them and few caraffe doilies, besides
a centerpiece, you are well supplied.
The multitude of smaller ones will
hardly be missed, and you can always
console yourself with the thought that
many object to the too great accumu-
lation of linen bits
The wreath and the bow-knot designs
still hold sway. The former is used
almost exclusively for the round doilies,
and the latter is seen upon all sizes and
all sorts. A chrrming set recently sent
to bride is all done in wreaths of diff
ferent flowers, no two being exactly
alike, and the whole effect is dainty in
the extreme. For these only solid work
is used. The flowers are necessarily
small and do not admit of the more
sketchy styles. The work involved is,
of course, considerable but linen en-
dures so well and the colors of to-day
are made so lasting that it is thor
oughly well worth the doing.
Ribbons and flowers combined are
always charming and suggestive of the
best French taste. Just now they are
very popular and are rivaled only by
the wreaths. Most needle workers
make the ribbon solid as well as the
flowers, but one clever woman has de-
vised rapid and effective method of
her own. She first outlines the entire
design, then fills the space between the
lines with single cat stitching. The
result is really striking and well worth
the trying. The contrast between the
solid flowers and the lighter ribbon is
charming and novel, besides being very
little work. A most successful design
of the sort is Of white violets tied with
pale yellow ribbon, and it is seldom
one gets better result with even the
most exacting work.
Luncheons promise to be popular the
season through, and the bare table will
be much in use both for indoor and the
piazza functions. These charming bits
of napery will SO find speedy demand
and may well employ all ones leisure
time. Linen is delightful stuff to
handle in the warm summer days, and
an array of well selected silks in
natty basket makes picture not to be
despised.-N. Y. Recorder
