wrote me, I have set my heart on being

will be a failure Her letter, and the
specimens of authorship inclosed, were
themselves argument for, at least, very
patient study and practice. She needed,
also, to live longer and deeper before
she would find a true message to deliver.
I told her so, in the solicited answer. I
tell them so; for this was only one ap-
peal of many. To you others, who
only have a little more time than money,

The watermelon luncheon is the novelty

Talk it is 10 be carried out in this way:
Arrange a mirror in the centre Of the

the glass relish dishes with melon leaves,
and fill them with olives and white rad
ishes. The half left in making the boat
should have the pulp scraped out, the
edge notched in points or cut in s~callops,
and utilized as a serving bowl for the
sherbet; it should be placed ON ice until
needed. In order to retain its crispiness.
Caterers do such clever work nowadays
that you can have the ice cream in the
similitude of a perfect melon, the inte-
rior as wsll as the exterior exactly re
sembling the fruit. For favors nothing
could be more IN keeping than tiny cards
illustrating ''the Niger n the water
milyun-' They may be in colors or sim
ply p~en-and-ink sketches.
In preparing the melons for the first
course, cut them in thick slices; then,
with a h~eart-shaped or circular cutter,
stamp out the pieces and serve three to
each person. The sherbet is simply the
pulp, thoroughly crushed, made very
sweet with sugar, three tablespoonfuls Of
sherry added for each quart, and frozen.

trust to careful pressing. If a bone be-
gins to show through do not mend, but
cut off the bone an inch. If the silk
wears off around the hooks and eyes,
move them along ever SO little. Make a
virtue of worn-out seams by applying
black feather stitching; and remember
that a silk waist is good as long as the
upper part of the sleeves remain. Plas-
iron, choker. lace cuffs n careful mend
ing make a new waist for you.
The Queen of Wurtemberg is said to
possess a marvellous amount of presence
of mind, and to have ~instanced this
strikingly not long ago at Stuttgart, when
her horses ran away with her, pitching
her c~oachman and footinan from the
driving seat. The Queen climbed to the
box of the barouche. leaned forward,
securing the trailing reins, checked
the horses unaided.
If a clean cloth wrung out of water
to which half a teaspoonful of ammonia
has been added is used to wipe off a
