Everybody who is anybody is coming
back from Paris. The first thing you
are told, and everybody who IL some
body is a woman body. Is that unless
YOU can wear cherries you are nobody
The Frenchman a la mode wears I'm his
buttonhoe huge bunch of cherries
with a stick and a leaf as the back
ground. Real? Well. they are the next
thing to IT, You are almost ready TO
swear that those cherries have just
come from the tree itself; but, uniike
those belonging TO the tree Identified
with q. Washington, these are made OF
the most perfect celluloid. Then the
dark haired girl has a bunch OF cherries
at her waist to convince you of its
smallness. and the plump girl has
bunch of cherries in her hair to remind
you of the quantity of beautiful tresses
that are her own and 10 which the cher
ries form good contrast
Next to cherries. everybody who is
anybody is drinking Scotch whisky TIE
bottle that used TO fizz and encourage
our wit is out of fashion. The bottle
which held the somewhat sour but love
ly colored liquid has. metaphorically,
gone TO the dogs. while the golden tint
ed sherry, with its flavor of nuts and IT'S
bouquet of sweet flowers, may he taken
with your soup, but il is not counfed "A
necessity merely something that we
bear because our grandfathers did IT,.
But the Scotch whisky, palefyeliow in
color. mixed with soda, is given to you
all through your dinner whether you
like il or not. and really. though 1t has
not the virtues OF Araby the Blest IN
the way OF smell, still IL is not altogeth-
er criminal, and its taste can and must
be cultivated.
The queen has INDUCED in Scotch and
soda until she has forgotten her own
age and has TO refer to the ''Peerage' TO
discover just how old she is AS for the
set that calls itself we il is saving
money by this Scotch idea. and as one
Young man whose draw had been gain
ed by Five Years of Life Among the
Highlands" said: 1T is so beastly vul
gar. don't you know. to he anything
but stingy nowadays. A fellow. though,
has 90 learn just how he can give a
penny TO another fellow who is starv-
ing and has the usual six wives and
children. Still If fellow learns to give
his penny to the other fellow with the
right air the other fellow thinks that
he certainly must be a duke. else he
wouldn't dare be so careful of his mon
ey why, my dear fellow, Il took me
quite a time to discover that the people
who give wonderful presents and spend
no end Of money are always the people
who dug up their gold or went out do
ing washing and sometimes earned their
ducats i'm way not so clean. We who
really know appreciate the value of
money. and. while we do a kind thing
for fellow. we don't go around throw
ing our money away. That's beastly
bad form. and as you are young | am
going 10 tell you. my dear boy to take
this lesson TO heart. Give little things
and people are certain TO think you arc
awfully wealthy and very stingy
whereas. as suggested. talk quietly
and when you give some trife make
Il some gift that money could not pur-
chase. but which courtesy could only
command As | said berOTc, learn tC
know how TO give little and give that
little with the air OF duke or French
duchesse."
But everybody who is somebody Is
bringing home tn the other body th'
dearest little night lamps that eve'

Put the night lamps-oh, they are dar
