A couple of Reboux hats, says the New
York Tribune, that have lately come over
are equally novel and pretty. one, a
a full crown of old brocade. tinv and
brilliantly colored bouquets on a cream

pleated ruche of black satin, while a

the feathery quilts, give a brilliant finish

The hotel clerk, says the Chicago Times
Herald, can always be depended upon 10
retain his self-possession under the most
trying circumstances. 1t is related that
a certain lady in the dramatic profess
sion, who is always trying to appear
young, albeit she is more than seven, .
and looks it, was. on the road last wear
with travelling comedy company. The
troupe got into town late one Sunday
evening, and on reaching a hotel she was
shown up five flights of stairs to an abart-
ment numbered 20, almost under the tiles
the young man behind the counter:
Il am placed in No. 20!"
Yes" was the answer, eve give every
spending with her age. Mrs. =. the old
woman of your company, is in g. and
Miss =, the juvenile actress, is in Al, and
that is why l put you in 20.'
The lady smiled serenely, thanked the
attendant most kindly and, without a
murmur, returned to the garnet.
If ones complexion is muddy" saIow
or covered with blackheads, the lotion
bottle is not the remedy which should be
sought first. Instead, the candidate for
a complexion of roses and cream should
begin to diet. Hot water taken half an
hour before breakfast with a little lemon
juice in it is better than creams to restore
the skin to clearness. Graham and whole
wheat bread, fruit, clear tea and coffee
if tea and coffee are used, plenty of green
vegetables. lean meat and broiled fish
form an admirable complexion diet. Pas
try and candies should be avoided
IF you ask a man to dinner, says the
| New York Tribune, you are responsible
for his happiness during the whole time
that he remains under your roof" says a
"Philosophie du Govt" which is ofteg
quoted in French cookery books It's lib
eral Interpretation of the obligation is
apparently altogether on the principle OF
the somewhat material Anglo-Saxon ak
iom. IF you want to make man happy
you must feed the brute"
OF course a successful dinner is large
| ~ dependent upon the excellence of its
cuisine; but there are other essentials
which conduce to the Happiness of a
guest almost as much and which to some
persons are even more important. Many
people regard their social obligations as
so many debts to be worked off - and
with that idea in view commit the unpar-
/ donable error of Jumping every one TO-
