PoR THOSE WHO LIKE IT.

M NEW and easy way OF making
dainty trifie is always hailed with
III delight by the woman who does
fancy work. These directions for
making the useful little mats, to be
pla ced on the table under hot dishes, are So
simple that any one can follow them. The
necessary materials are twelve dozen Or
binary brass curtain rings, not too thick
and measuring an inch or an inch and 4 half
across. and two dozen skeins OF tapestry
silk; that manufa ctured by any of the best
ma kers will do. Tie kind known as ''boii-
ing color" is recommended for preference.
One skein OF ere wei silk will be required.
and this must match exactly the shade oi
tue other.
And, lastly, a rug needle OF suitable size.
The tapestry silk may be divided into
Deedlefuls of about one yard in length. At
taching the end. each ring is then entirely
covered in buttonhole stitch. When the cir
cleis completed care must be taken to faSten
off securely nd neatly. To insure this the
silk ma now be split and the two ends run
under the work separately.
Asufficientnu=Dber of ofringsbeing covered.-
they ca be arranged so as to form mats OF
various sliapcs-square. diamond, circular.
octagonal. etc. These rings must be firmly
and neatly scanned together on the Under
side. at the places where they touch each
other. q nd In such a manner as not To destroy
the right appearance of the buttontne
stitching.
For very small mats. such as may be used
under gravy boats or sauce tureens. asIight-
ly smaller sized ring may be employed. aud
for an extra large size mat. to support a
heavy meat dish, the size of the ring used
may be rather larger.
The color. of course, may be varied. ac-
cording to tile taste OF the maker, but the
use of plain white for al. such additions
to the table appointments is recommended.

4 HOSTESS TRIALS.

TT n exceptionally successful and gifted
hostess tells me that she never has
~ been able to overcome feeling
\ which she supposes is akin to
stage fright before each recep-
tion which she gives.

against the wall. the floors covered with
canvas and the flowers arranged. She
surveys her parlors CRITICAL y to see
that all details are correct The rooms

evening will be a failure; that in all the
world l do not know enough people to
fill and enliven my house; that il l did
they would be prevented from coming.
and that the whole thing will be ridlcu-
lous fiasco.
This depression lasts until a dozen
people or more have arrived. The first
guests serving in their annoyance at having
been the earliest arrivals only to confirm
my fears But trust that no one ever
suspects my state OF mind. My husband
also feels these qualms. and it is strange
that we do not overcome them. for We
never have had an unsuccessful evening.

A WALTZ ON LINEN.

T was linen cuff and he quick thought
OF the woman who wore it that gave
us one OF the prettiest of the tuneful
L Strauss waltZes. The famous musician
and his wife were one day enjoying
a stroll in the park at Schouau when sud-
denly the composer exclaimed: My dear,
1 have a waltz in my head; quick-give Inc
a scrap OF paper or an old envelope; must
write it down before l forget it, Alas!
after much ruinmaging OF pockets 1t was
found tina tueither of them had a letter about
them-uo even tradesnan's s bill. Johann
Strauss music is considered light but it
weighed as heavy as lead in his brain Gntil
he could transfer it TO paper. His despair
was pathetic. At last a happy thought
struck Frau Strauss. She held oTt snowy
white cuff. the composer clutched it eagerly,
and in two minutes that cuff was manU-
script. Its mate followed; still the inspira-
ton was incomplete. Strauss was frantic,
and was about to make wild dash for home
with the third part OF his waltz ringing un-
certainly in his head. His own linen was
limp, Colored calico. Suddenly his frau be-
thought OF her collar, and in an instant the
remaining bars Of THE Blue Danube deco
rated its surface.

u of discussion by the readers Of
Woman, a London publication.
One contributor puts in most
emphatic mol" The crying

belongs to the '40's and sos not to the end
of the century. Woman was then submis-
sive slave and man the righteous ruler.
Now all is changed. The new woman is here

should cry provided she does so ''noiseless-
