NEUTRALITY WITH FRILLS ON

Washington, June 7.-Three more dec
laTat!oas OF neutrality are contained In
the advance sheets OF consular reports
just issued by the state department. They
were proclamaco1s Of Ceylon and the
Straits Settlements ,Haytt and the Dutch
West Indies. One requirement OF the first
named proclamation tina: Is a little out
OF the ordinary Is that no beIl.gerent ship
can be permitted TO receive any stores.
necessar!es OF coal without permission
first obtained in writing from the harbor
master.
The Haytien circular IS voluminous and
lays down with the greatest exactness
the course 20 be pursued by the govern
ment and people OF that country during
the war. Il prohibits popular manifesto
lions N public placas OF on the streets:
the raising OF any emblem that may be
considered offensive TO one OF the parties
20 the war and requires citizens as we'll
as foreign residents to abstain from all
acts that may invite reprisals.
United States Consul Tourgee, at Bor-
deaux. has furnished the state department.
an interesting construction of the neutral
ity laws laid down by the French govern
ment. The government Of the Neither
lands had refused TO clear the Norwegian
steamer Fran from a Spanish port with
a cargo of refined saItpetre and the same
had been cleared from Bayonne, France.
This port was In Consul Tourgee's dis
trict, and he had reason TO believe
that the salbpetre would clear from that
port for Spain. whereupon ne lodged pro-
tests with the French officials Mr. Tour
gee transmits to the state department the
reply OF the French government, which is
as follows:
Neutral governments are formally pro-
hibited from furni shlng themselves. ti-
rectly, munitions of war to bellgerents;
but the neutral state is not required to
prevent the sending Of arms and NUM-
tons by itself, and. for a much stronger
by strangers Under the condi-
tons it is not incumbent upon us to pre-
vent the departure of the Fran. which
will be allowed TO continue her voyage at
her own risk and peril"
This construction OF the duty Of a neu-
trail agrees very closely with that in the !
past given by the United States so that !
here is no possible ground for protest in |
his case.

Is the Engaged Girl COnceited:
From the Philadelphia Times


This is the time when one is likely to get
a surfeit Of the engaged girl. Her engage
ment has probably been announced at New
Year, and she is to be married just after
Easter, and between the two dates, and
especially that part Of the between
known as Lent, her relatives and friends
become pretty familiar with her and her
ways. AS a rule. she is not exhilarating
society Her range of topics is too limited,
her standards too personal. her ability to
turn all subjects around to the one main
subject too certain. From matters pertain
ing to the Klondike to midas coral strand,
and including the most approved method of
clipping dog ears, she quotes but one au-
thOrity, and seems to regard that one as
omniscient and indisputable. Her self
conceft is by no means a minor attribute
of the engaged girl, but, as one who has
made scientific study of the species says,
'she can't help it, you know, poor thing;
she lives in such a perfect atmosphere of
fattery, with incense burning before her
in wholesale quantities and all the time,
that it Is no wonder her head is just a bit
turned and that she is inspired to act as
though the whole solar system revolved
about her." But whatever may be said
against the engaged girl, one thing is al
ways in her favor, the most captious can
not find fault with it, the most callous
must be glad Of it, and it eclipses her con-
ceit as 1t eclipses her folly-she is SO happy

A Fad for Engaged Girls,
From the Detroit Free Press.

Fro m the Detroit Free Press
1t used to be the correct thing when a
young woman was engaged to be married
to have double picture frame in her bou-
doir, or bed room, containing a photograph
Of her fiance and herself. Twenty-Five
years ago 1t was the fashion to have your
photograph taken with the young man
you were engaged to, and that was placed
on your dressing table. Now there is a new
rad. You must not, of course be photo
graphed with your fiance-that is not con-
sidered good form. Nor must you even
have your picture in the same frame with
his. The new fad is to have a frame hold
Ing four cabinet size photographs and in
this you must put four pictures of your
fiance in four different positions-one full
race, one side face, one three quarters face
ana one profile. 1t is rather an interesting
idea, as 1t is astonishing how changed a
persons expression is with the face in
different positions. One of these sets of
photographs was seen the other day on a
young girls writing desk, and it was hard
to believe that the profile and full face were
OF the same man. This is one of the latest
fads for engaged men as well as girls.

Serving the Hostess First.
the New York Evening Post.

From the New York Evening Post
The custom Of serving the hostess first
at lunchsons or dinners seems a highly
commendable one. There are so many lit
tie vasaries and novelties of service nova
days that it is difficult to know them ALL
A lady who was guest Of honor at a re-
cent dinner found herself embarrassed by
having platter handed her holding, ap-
parently, a whole turkey. She glanced 1t
over with quick apprehension and could see
no evidence Of its having been carved.
Thinking that frankness was the best way
out of the situation. she appealed to her
hostess for instruction, which, of course,
was courteously impaired. 1t was with
both chagrin and relief that she found the
turkey was in a condition to yisld to the
touch Of fork inserted In any part of the
fowl OF which she wished to partake The
LIST of table silver grows every season.
Many Of the utensils are passing fancies
and are not heard of. perhaps, outside of
circles who constantly seek such novelties.
Obviously, the hostess knows how she
wishes her guests served, and her example

Red Morocco Hypocrisy.
From Harper's Bazaar.

When you meet a girl carrying what
locks to be pair of pretty little scarlet
morocco volumes bound together, do not
be too sure that they are prayer book and
hymnal. even during these Lenten days
The newest cases for playing cards are of
red morocco. just the shape and size and
clasping Of the combined prayer book and
hymnal; and with nothing of the inside
showing but the demure gilt edges Of the
two packs of cards. and all under cover
of the eminently ecclesiastical scarlet, the
Illusion is perfect. If one had ever the de-
sire to appear pious when in reality on
pleasure bent. she has here a convenient,
shield ready to her hand. and an oppor-
tunity that no telltale conventional case for
playing cards could ever hope to bring
about. But the chief charm of the new
case Is its ability to lay bare the guliibility
of the average human being. Not one in
ten Of those who see the little red morocco
hypocrisy for the first time but takes it to
be the real thing.

THE SERVING OF SUPPER.
How Guests Are Entertained In FASH
fOnable Society.

AOMSSDAC COCACNSs
From the Boston Herald.
There are several brand new ways Of
serving suppefs at home. after small
dances, card or theater parties, and these
novelties are all the outcome Of practical
application of chatting dish science.
When the hour for refreshment arrives
and the dining room doors are thrown
open, in place of the doubtfully inviting
cold collation. on the long sideboard, at
one end of the stately dining table, the
steam and glow from a couple or trio Of
big chatting dishes greet the hungry guests.
Over the great silver heaters with their
double power alcohol lamps, in the very
smart houses the family chef. or a cater
er's man, engaged for the occasion, pre-
sides. From top to toe he is arraycd like
a lily, and he probably speaks very broken
English.
If couple of double chafiug dishes,
which supply in all four cooking basins,
are used, two men can rapidly feed almost
any number of persons, and delightful
informality reigns All about the cooks are
bowls heaped with raw materials for con-
version into dainty messes. Every utensil
used in preparing the supper Is silver. and
every guest, selecting what plates, knives,
spoons, ETC., he or she desires from piles on
side table, goes personally for helpings
from the chatting dishes.
The discreet caterer, who has an eye for
artistic effects we'll as convenience, es-
or across one enc, group of giant double
howl chatting dishes. These glittering fur
naces are presided over by chefs in white,
who respectively prepare oysters, lobs ter,
curried fowl and terrapin,- by the steaming
quart or half gallon. Plates forks, ETC.,
are heaped on center table, at the head Of
which urns of bouillon, coffee and chocolate
keep hot over alcohol lamps and the but
Ter capable hired head waiter maintains
perfect order.
A wise arrangement Is the dishing up of
all hot semi-liquid preparations, as terra
pin and lobster a la Newberg, in small
silver bowls, for by doing away with as
much china as possible the food is kept
very much hotter aud breakage is avoided.
The hot drinks, too, offered in silver
cups, and the most charming painted Rus
sian platters answer as plates for salad,
croQuettes, etc.
On the brown or white wicker plates the
bread is piled and Topped by silver wire
fork, which holds a card. On the card, in
legible gilt letters. is written, "ham,
chicken salad or jelly sandwiches, as the
case may be, and the maid passes by
those who are hungry may read and mako
their selections. AS long supper is in
progress these baskets of bread are kept
circulating through the rooms, and the ices
are dished up in thu prettiest little paste
board boxes. Inside the boxes are lined
with wax paper, and it is a fact to be re-
membered that napkins seem rarely or
never used now at such suppers
After dinner or luncheon the very pretty
habit has been revived of the hostess max
ing coffee in the drawing room and having
the liquid offered from the coffee tray. The
coffee table is arranged in one corner, or
