The menu was as follows.

The menu was as follows:
Blue points served In shaved ice
Bisque of clam with tiny soup biscuit.
Roast grouse served in a course with two
vegetables,
Roman punch.
Tomato salad
Candies, marrons glaces, olives, etc
Ice cream in fancy shapes representing
fruits.
Coffee.
This would make a pretty and not too
detailed menu for any affair of the kind.
Any woman connecting one at present had
best keep it within the limit of eight
courses.
Immediately at the finish of the affair
the guests took their leave This Is not
graceless. 1t is just a good. sensible regu-
lation of society. For every woman who
visits is likely to have several affairs in
the same day. And the hostess has the
same obligations to fulfill
Says the Countess de Venssey: We have
a new green called "Euphrates." Not all
have been to consider the color of this
mighty river at its source nor in It's
course through the mountains or Armenia
down to its mixture with the Tigr,s,
where its real shade is.Sof course washed
out and gets anything bat fast in the
process. We wonder why this peculiar
"Euphrates" denomination has become a
substitute for nile" green; it Is only
just little different when the two are
viewed side by side but the Armenian
troubles are thus called on for sympathy
in French hearts, we suppose. A second
new name is for another green called
'menuet," from the revived favor of a
dance dear to graceful ladies before BIZ
cycles were invented for them. This Is a
kind of spring-shoot and water green mix

palette, but we find II in pompadour
stripes with bouquets between. Then we
have that glorious shade of red-violet
called damsen, which is such a sweet lit

One reads and hears constantly, says
the New York Times. of the devious ways
of the city shopper, feminine gender, OF
course, but it appears from a story that
has f1oated down from a little Massachu-
sets town that her country sister has her
caprices as well. The amazing part of
the tale is its absolute and verified truth

asked for lead pencils Several sorts
were shown to her, her choice finally mar

"sweetly requested" the clerk should
sharpen for her to test practically their
relative merits. Still her decision was re-
served, and finally she asked that both be
sent to her home for a more careful selec-
ton. This was acceded to- she further
STIMULATING that the unneeded one should
be called for the following day. The two
trips were accordingly made to secure the
sale of one five-cent lead pencil, which
was brought back the next week somewhat
used, with a request that 1t be exchanged
for the other sharpened one. The worm
will turn and this last request was refused
It is said, according to the New York
Sun, that by giving plaster figures a bath
in a certain way they may be made to look
like marble. The bath is made by putting
two generous quarts of water into an agate
kettle with one ounce of pure curd SOAP
and one ounce of white beeswax cut
into small pieces; let this dissolve over a
slow fire, and, when all the ingredients
are thoroughly mixed, tie fine twine around
the figure and dip 1t into the liquid; take
the figure out and hold 1t In the air for
five minutes, and then again dip II into the
LIQUID; let the figure dry for a few days
and then rub it with a soft flannel; brill.
liant gloss will be produced.
Thackeray has said that II women knew
their power they could marry any man
they wanted. This, says the Philadelphia
Times, is just where the trouble lies; they
do not know their power, nor understand
wherein their charms lie. OF course
there are exceptions to this rule; there
are many who understand only too wei
and WELD their scepters-or their swords
with too dextrous hand. But there
are those who undervalue themselves, are
too retiring and let the happiness which
is meant for tho m slip from their grasp
Constantly one sees men and womer
brought together who are suited in tenn
perment and are evidently intended foi
each other. But what man Is so much IN
love he can't find utterance for his passion
and the girl so much in love she cannot
help him out2 The greatest mistake a
woman makes Is 10 let her love get the
upper hand of her She at once becomes
awkward when In her lovers presence
loses her head and makes all the fiat
silly speeches possible, when she Is really
bright girl and would be very clever II
she did not allow her passion to make
her self-conscious. This style of youth
and maid wait for the opportunity which
circumstances do not favor. Some other
man who does not care so much comes
along. He is not awed into silence, but
speaks out. The girl, believing the other
man does not care for her, as he does not
tell her so, accepts this one who does.
They marry, and soon find matrimony a
failure. The shy youth kicks himself
when he finds another man has won her.
Having learned his lesson, he promptly
proposes to the next woman he meets,
with as tragic results as those Of the
woman he loves and his rival.
This Is the first type OF women who do
not know their power. The second are
those who think they debut don't They
spoil It all by an over-exertion to please
and labor 70 attract attention by affec-
ton and insincere speeches, which are
sure to be seen through. The woman
whose object In being pleasant Is to curry
favor and get herself liked may be very
sure OF getting herself disliked.
