A woman who understands all about

ever ate was prepared by a friend who
In better times kept a very fine table.
There were a good many cold beans in 1t,

dish was a very savory one. The follow

meats, is a good one Instead of making

the same mixture into egg-shaped pieces

Hospitality Of the up-to-date sort in
cludes some curious ideas in England
where at present the house party in
country home is the chief form OF dissipa-
ton. One society woman who is as veal
thy as she is ambitious carries out the
! harmonious perfections of her guests ac-
commodations to the minutest details. If
| she gives the Countess Of Killmequick
the blue rooms that lady win find that not
! only is the upholstery OF her temporary
apartments of the most exquisite and ceru-
! lean tint, but so also are the delicate linen
! sheets and pillow cases that furnish the
! elegant bedstead on which She is to re-
| pose her aristocratic frame. Each bed, in
! fact, is supplied with sets of linen dyed
| in accord with the coloring of the suite in
! which il is situated A room furnished in
rose pink win have it's brazen couch COW
cred with linen of the rosiest hue, and the
air will be filed with an indefnable odor
of rose leaves that harmonic with its eX-
/ quiste tint
Another English fad of the winter is the
| seeming of each bed with some special
! perfume just before the hour of retiring.
| This is accomplished after a good old
fashioned manner that is quite as delight
! full as it is rocco, and for its special ad-
vantage has the brazen warming pan Of
| the early Victorian period been revived.
| The warming pan, polished to dazzling
| degree, is filed with glowing Goals. In
side the cover is inserted a sort Of tiny
| secondary brazier filled with rose scented
! incense that ernits a perfumed smoke that
! clings to the sheets. Thus It is when you
| slip into your downy nest at fashionable
| country house nowadays; your whole body
| seems laVed in a delicious warm perfume
! that is almost certain foe to the insom-
MIA of which so many people complain in
| these times. 1t is said that the Countess of
| Warwick, herself a bad sleeper, was the
first English woman to institute fashion
that has since become a craze.

Portable" Have plenty of wraps for the
voyage, and don't forget a warm dressing

staying a day. and be careful of the can
dies at the continental hotels. They are

| Write to the dining room steward asking
for a seat on the outside of the table-not

Mrs. Humphrey, the world famous
"Madge' Of Mr.. Laboucheres Truth. Is
considered one of the greatest authorities

Whistling and singing are incompatible
with the conduct of a gentleman in the
| street, though this by no means applies to
| a quiet country road, where ceremonious
| bearing is not required. Never wear the
| hands in the pockets when walking in the
| park or streets Of town or city. Should
| a man be OF some service to any lady In
| the street, such as picking up a parcel or
| sunshade she may have dropped, or help
| ing her out of any difficulty, he may raise
| his hat and withdraw at once. Such trif-
| ling acts as these do not constitute an az
| quaintanceship and should not be presum-
| ed upon. 1t is exceedingly dangerous For
a young girl who knows nothing of the
| world to pick up promiscuous male &C
| quaintances. Should any young man no.
| come acquainted with a girl in this man.

treating her in every way as he would
wish his own sister to be treated in simi-

about her that he possibly can, and should
| what he hears be encouraging, let him
| ask her to introduce him to her family I'm
a formal and proper manner. That
would be the act of a gentleman.
A young man once asked me If it would
be etiquette to offer an unknown lady an
umbrella in the street, supposing she
stood in need of one. l replied: mo lady
would accept the offer from a stranger
and the other sort of person might never
return the umbrella
Some men never seem to understand
what bad impression is conveyed by the
odor of stale tobacco which they uni
versally bring with them. Even to men
who smoke and much more TO those who
do not, the smell Of stale tobacco Is re-
voting. Fancy, then, how 1t must offend
the olfactory nerves of women.
Nowhere does the well bred man shine

or other public conveyance. Taking up
more than his allotted room, spreading his
Newspaper over the other peoples faces,
all these are things one should learn not
to do. The worst offense is that Of care
lessly and inconsiderately stepping upon
other peoples toes. 1t can never be out
