body. The Frenchman la mode wears
in mis- buttonhole a huge bunch of cher
ries, with a stick and 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, unlike those be-
longing to the tree identified with G.
Washington, these are made of the most
perfect oeluloid. Then the dark-hairoG
flrl has a bunch of cherries at her waist
to convince you of its smallness, and the
plump girl has a bunch Of cherries in her
hair to remind you of the quantity Of
beautiful tresses that are her own and to
which the cherries form a good contrast.
Next to cherries, everybody who Is
anybody is drinking Scotch whisky. The
bottle that used to fzz and encourage
our wit is out of fashion. The bottle
which held the somewhat sour but lovely
colored liquid has, metaphorically, gone to
the dogs, whjle the golden tinted sherry,
with it's flavor of nuts and its bouquet of
sweet flowers, may be taken with your
soup. Sut it is not counted a necessity
merely a something that we bear because
our grandfathers did it. But the Scotch
whisky, pale yellow in color, mixed with
soda, is given to you all through your
dinner, whether you like 1t or not, and
really, though it has not the virtues OF

Il is not altogether 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 dis
cover just how old she is As for the
set that calls itself we" 1t is saving
money by this Scotch idea, and as one
young man whose drawl had been gained
by Five Years of Life Among the High
lands said: 1T is so beastly vulgar,
don't you know, TO be anything but stingy
nowadays. A fellow, though, has to learn
just how he can give a penny to another
fellow who is starving and has the usual
six wives and children. Still, If a 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 money. Why, my dear fellow, it took
me quite a time to discover that the peo-.
pie who give wonderful presents and spend
no end of money are always the people
who dug up their gold or went out doing
washing and sometimes earned their du-
cats in a way not so clean. We who real
Iy know appreciate the value of money.
and, while we do a kind thing for fell
low, we don't go around throwing our
money away. That's beastly bad form
and as you are young l am going to tell
you. my dear boy, to take this lesson to
heart. Give little things. and people are
certain to think you are awfully wealthy
and very stingy, whereas, as suggested
talk quietly, and when you give some
trifle make it some gift that money could
not purchase, but which courtesy could
only command. AS l said before, learn
to know how to give little and give that
little with the air Of duke or a French
duchesse."
But everybody who is somebody Is
bringing home to the other body the dear
est little night lamps that ever charmed
the soul of a woman and made her feel
rich. Generalizing women are not CRATE
full. Life is short, and the changes in
hairdressing are numerous. But the night
lamps-oh, they are darlingsi They are OF
china, and some represent that lovely
little cottage In which W. Shakespeare
and his sweet wife, Anne Hathaway, liv-
ed their life of diluted bliss, while there
are others that initiate those ducks of
Noah's ark somewhat that delight the
souls of children and in which live ele-
plants and mosquitoes of the same size
The little houses are of china, and there
is an opening at the back of each A
broad, low candle is set inside on the
floor, and the light comes through the
windows in front. Think how perfectly
lovely it would be to have a lamp made
after the style of the cottage of the di-
vine William, And as you dream Of Ro-
meo, your Romeo, you would remember
how he said. "Anne Hathaway. she hath
way to make earth heaven or he'll. Anne
Hathaway"
Then too, we are hearing of the new

discovered where the economy of buying

more, which was an argument which no
