and l1notted in bow, shall frame the face as it were picture.
 Picture hats we have long known. We shall begin to speak of picture gowns next.
 1, indeed, have so named one of those creations whose skirt is faintly lined with perpendicular stripes and dotted with clusters of tiny flowers, and which is far more emphatieally marked across the upper sleeves and across the vest front with bars of dark ribbon, from each of which falls a narrow frill of dotted lace. The jacket of such gown has the inevitable outward curve at the hips, a curve more decided than that upon golf stick.
 There is pretty fashion this year in cheaper ready-made dresses as well as in more expensive ones. The serge out ing suits, whose skirts and jackets have been for long of the same color and ma terial, may now be-should now be, per haps-of related but different color; and the skirt of the two is the lighter. For instance, plain skirt of blue and white checks, just the size of baby's finger nail, over which a wide lapeled jacket all of dark blue matching the checks in the skirt, and trimmed with several rows of silver buttons, three in a row, down the skirt behind and with silver braid.
 New sleeves, it may be noted, have not yet achieved suzerainty, or even ex- tended their sphere of influence over the coat or wrap. Here the big squash or mandolin sleeve is as much in evil dence as ever, even upon the smartest of the smart gowns, those, you know, with the cunning-ftted backs and the loose straight folds down the front and heavily embroidered.

Her Pet Meanness.

The most amusing instance of the effect of a suddenly acquired fortune upon a pet meanness is that told by an English author about an old wom- an in an almshouse who came into St. 100000 by a ehaneery decision that had been pending 100 years. She bought everything that money could buy silks, yelvets, laces, f1Zs, estates, car riages, horses, soi-distant friends even. She threw away her bank notes upon everything imaginable in kind of frenzy of possession. But when it came to tea she suffered; she debated; she never ordered at any one time more than quarter of a pound of good black tea. She would have felt beg gared by pound of any tea at any price; it had always been so precious to her that she had lost all sense of its intrinsic value. Perhaps it represented to some extent the bright unattainable without which life has no zest.-Ghica- go Inter Ocean.

Parliamentary Compliments.

Talking of parliamentary success, there is story that MT.

A Negroes Long Drink,

A western member Of congress was
recently with party discussing the ca
pacity of men to drink strong liquor.
After listening to several stories along
this line, he said:
"Well, 1 don't believe any class of
men can beat these Washington negroes
when it comes to drinking strong liquor.
One Friday night as I came home after
a nights session thought would stop
in a little saloon near my house and set
a stovepipe OF lager to make me sleep
sound. 1t is not very swell place, but
it was the only one convenient. While
was emptying the big glass of the frothy
liquid a tough looking negro, with big
stick under his arm, walked in and de.
manded pint Of gin.
"'What price?' asked the young man
behind the bar.
"'Twenty cents,' said the fellow, be-
ginning to count out lot of pennies.
"'All right said the bartender
where is your bottle?'
"'I don't want no bottle. Jest hand
out glass. huh
1.-The liquid was measured off in 6
big beer glass, and without taking il
from his lips he swallowed the contents
not even deiening to take drink o.
water when he had finished. The bar
tender did not seem to be at all sur
prised, merely remarking that the fel
low would probably take several suci
drinks before he finished the evening

Carving was then q fine art. Each
guest brought his own knife and spoon.
for the small fork was not introduced
into England until Thomas Coryate of
Odcombe published his "Crudities" in
1911. Pepys took his spoon and fork
with him to the lord mayors feast in
1868. The absence of forks led to much
stress being laid upon the act Of wash
ing the hands both before and after
meals and to the rule that the left hand
alone should be dipped into the COM
mon dish, the right hand being occupied
with the knife.
The perfect dinner at the best time OF
English cookery consisted of three
courses, each complete in itself, and ter
minated BY subtlety or device, the
whole being rounded off with ypocras.
after which the guests retired into an
other room. where pastry. sweetmeats
and fruit were served with the choicer
wines. The English were essentially
meat eaters, and it was not until the
time of the commonwealth that pud
ding attained its extraordinary populari-
ty. Indeed, the first mention of pudding
in the menus Of the "Buckfeast" at st.
Bartholomew hospital did not occur
until i710. and in 1712 is an item Of 5
shillings for ice.-London Times.

Tho Methods OF the English as Tabls In
the Seventeenth Century.
The old English had three meals q
day, of which the chief meal was taken
when the work of the day was finished.
The first meal was at 8, dinner was
about 3 O'Clock, and supper was taken
Just before bedtime. The Normans dined
at the old English breakfast time or a
little later and supped at z p. m. In
Tudor times the higher classes dined at
II und supped at 8. but the merchants
seldom took their meals before 12 and 6
O'Clock.
The chief meals, dinner and supper,
were taken in the hall both by the old
English and the Normans, for the parlor
did not come into use until the reign Of
Elizabeth. Breakfast did not become q
regular meal until quite lately, and Dr.
Murray, in the Oxford Dictionary, gave
1463 as the date Of the earliest quota
tion In which the word occurred. The
meal did not become recognized until
late in the seventeenth century, for
Pepys habitually took his draft Of
half pint of Rhenish wine or a dram
Of strong waters in place of morning

on sale by dealer are novelties. They
are for officers who have to wear white
leather gloves according to regulations.
The new gloves are of wash leather and
have ten holes in the palm Of each hand,
while the space between the fingers is

Of the holes is to keep the hands from

The minCet is already known to many
were it only through the inuumerable
pictures executed by pastelists. now dead
but still celebrated. The dainty gestures,
the graceful steps. the sweeping courte
sizes, are no secret to us, but the sara
band and the pavano we do not know
much about, although they are well
worth being studied. The saraband il
what one might call an almost religious
dance, for it is SO deliberate, SO solemn
and yet so gracefully beautiful. The
cavaliers, when they bend before their
fair partners, literally sweep the floor
with their plumed hats, while the Ia
dies brocades and laces futter around
them like the wings of some bright hued
butterfly about to take its flight. The
promenade-a sort Of polonaise-which
follows, the couples marching with i'm
posing demeanor behind one another, is,
beyond everything else, becomingly
dainty, although somewhat strait laced,
but one cannot be anything but en-
chanted by something SO entirely re-
in our salons when dancing is written
on the cards of invitation.
The pavane is sprishtiier, more like
the gavot;e. and brings into constant
play fans, well managed trains and
again pinned hats. the tout ensemble
making np tableau of unsurpassed
charm and aristocratic motion. The es-
sential qualities Of all these dances are
simplicity and grace, for they afford no
opportunity for displays Of gymnastics,
of hurried ath!otieism, no force of biceps,
no pushing OR joltirg or elbowiug. They
are the very essence of easy gliding and
of keeping time to strains Of melody,
