Pattie dishes in silver standards are
one of the latest novelties for the table.
| The pattie cups themselves are OF ex-
quisite china, and they fit firmly into
i the silver standards, which rest on four
legs. The daintiest are of fine Dres-
/ den, scattered with tiny boquets OF
flowers. Sets of pattie dishes are now
frequently sent as a wedding gift. Six
are usually in one case, with forks
matching the silver standards in de-
sign.
China, covered with a tracery of sill
Yer, will be much in favor this sea-
son.
Cut glass and silver will also be
combined.
The newest finger bowls are of ex-
quisitely colored glass. They rest in
half a silver bowl and stand ON four
silver legs. Even the plain glass fin
ger bowls stand on short legs.
There is a great variety of punch
cups this fall in Venetian and Bohen-
ian glass. They are in all sorts of odd
shapes. The latest look like large 1usci-
Gus peaches, while Others in design and
coloring resemble apples and pears.
Very delicate punch cups look as
though they were enveloped in piece
of lace. The cups are of glass, in vary
ing shades, and the lace design is hand
wrought. The saucers for these cups
also show the lace designs.

The queer habit men have of regard
ing women as mysterious beings whose
actions and modes of thought are quite
incomprehensible, was anusingly il
Illustrated recently by a. writer who
wondered, through a column or more,
why women, when walking, seemed
embarrassed about how to dispose OF
their hands. The custom Of the sex
of carrying purse, card case, umbrella
or other something was explained TO
what should be done with her hands.
Most peculiar, so it was averred, and
very unlike the habit of men,
II is indeed quite true that the sexes
on the street manage their hands and
arms after different fashions, but I'M
likeness in this particular is artifl
Gladly produced as the wondering
writer could very easily have ascer-
tanned If he had taken the trouble to
investigate. Men of high and low and
all intermediate grades swing their
arms as they walk that beautiful, nat
ural and comfortable movement is not
permitted to a. woman or gir4 with any
pretensions to good breeding. Don't
swing your arms is among the earH-
est of the appalling long calendar of
Don'ts prepared exclusively for girls.
In fact, among the very awful sins
that people charge against the bicycle
girl is that when off her wheel "she
strides along and swings her arms"
What she should do, according to these
censors, of course, is to glue her ell
bow to her sides and to cake lady-like
steps. However, athletics is likely more
and more to claim the homage of wo-
man, and lit is more than possible that
ere long convention will permit her
arms to swing as freely as do those of
her brother and when that time ar
rives one more woman mystery" will
be dissipated.
Ii Hung Chang has invented a new
fashion. But he didn't do it intention

for women, but when the society maid
and matron are todd how bewitching
they look in it they have not so much
the distinguished Ii to thank as a Ger

When Lii was in Paris of course he
wore his far famed yellow jacket His
much priced three-eyed peacock
feather was also in evidence, and after

customers the most unique Partisan
