Now AMI then the Prince of Wales
makes the reputation and fortune of
an artist at the academy dinner which
is served in the main exhibition room.
As he sits in the chief place at table
his eyes may survey the majority of
the paintings on the walls. II his
fancy be arrested by one in particular,
and he expresses his appreciation
sudibly, the lucky artist, if unknown,
may be sure of fame the next morning,
and that pi cture will be the object of
q particular atten ton during the ex-
hibition. Every artist, therefore,
probably scans eagerly the report in
the next days Times to discover if the
prince was iucautiOus enough to de-
clare what painting pleased him most.
1t is fact which American journalists
may curiously note, that the only pa
per allowed to have representative
at these noble dinners is the London
Times.

Sweet Pea Charity.

Here is scheme, ont of Chicago,
poetic and practical 1t is that poor
women shall raise on five-acre tract,
in the centre of the city-Chicago
still holds in its heart vacant five
acres-sweet peas, to be sold on the
streets by the daughters of the toilers.
This is Pingree potatoism raised to
the heights of estheticism.
Perhaps poets have sung the praises
of sweet peas. If they haven't, it's n
fresh, fair field. No flower is as human
as the sweet pea, unless it's the pansy.
Those millions of blooms from the five
acre lot ought to sell out at hand
some profit in the big, rich tity in ten
minutes.
The idea came to Mrs. Mary Fl.
Hull, president of the Armor Mission
Mothers club, an organization of
neither the very rich nor of the very
poor The mothers are heads of
humble homes, who meet once month
for mutual improvement, and once II
week gather to sew for their more
needy neighbors. Their daughters,
who will sell the blossoms, will wear
pretty garden hats and pinafores as
distinguishing badges.
Those of the women who care to do
so can raise vegetables, sweet corn,
tomatoes, etc, to sell to grocers and
families in that part of the town. And
they're going to have bit of play
ground and park in the five-acre plot,
for there are some large forest trees,
and under their grateful shade the
mothers and their children will gather
in the hot summer days. New York

and lacelike, is trimmed with tulips
of black lace. These are wired and
stand upright in large punches.
A novelty hat is made almost en-

colors. There is one difficulty about
the use of this red that many ladies'

sible to match it in ribbon or velvet,
and what one finds in the shops that
is called match proves to be almost
anything else when one gets home or
into the glare or out-of-door light.

A Fine Head of Hair and the Reason.

A woman with fine head of hair
says she does nothing to it but wash
it when it seems to need it, and she
can tell that by the soil it leaves on
the white comb she uses. She washes
it with soap and water and nothing
else. She takes nn old tin can and
into it puts cake of soap, and pours
over it half pint of hot water. This
she places on the back of the stove for
n few hours, stirring it occasionally as
she passes. 1t is soon reduced to the
consistency OF jelly. Then it is ready.
She takes up lot on her fingers and
rubs it right on the scalp, and does
this till her head is in fine lather
She rubs and manipulates her hair
and scalp till it begins to smart lit
tie, and then she begins to rinse the
soap out in warm, not hot, water. She
keeps getting clean water till it is not
a bit discolored by her hair. Then
she takes towels and rubs her head
and strips her hair through them, till
most of the water seems to be out, then
she sits down and shakes her hair out
to dry She never touches brush or
comb to her hair till it is perfectly
dry, Just shanes, and catches it up in
her fingers and let's it run through
them. Her hair never knots or snarls.
