contrary appearances, and it affords an
easy, neat way of dressing the neck; but
at the same time it plays havoc with what
poets call The slender, marble column of
milky whiteness and so on. One has only
to look carefully at the necks of the wo-
men at the opera, at a ball, at a reception,
to see that they aren't what they used to
be. The high collar has left its mark To

hinder perfect circulation, and that causes

ring. 1 had the speciality; 1 made all
such rings; and so they gave 1t to me 20
do. That is ALL"
The wedding ring that signalized Vic
toria's alliance with Prince Albert was
one of the many instances of the Queens
preference for richness and simplicity.
1t was quite plain and more solid than is
usual in ordinary wedding rings.
During the marriage ceremony Prince
Albert wore it on his own finger, and
taking it off at the proper moment pass
ed it to the Archbishop of Canterbury.
His grace handed IL back to the Prince,
who placed it on his brides finger. Thous-
ands of eyes saw the gold band pass be-
tween the two royal personages, and at
the same moment the cannon fired a royal
salute and all London knew that Vic
toria was married.
A pretty incident is related of the re-
turn to buckingham Palace. The Queen
left the Cathedral ungloved, and whether
by accident or design Prince Albert in
closed Her Majestys hand in his own In
such a way as to display the wedding ring
to the best advantage. There were twenty
miles OF people who saw that wedding
ring. as Victoria drove back to Bucking-
ham palace. And yet the German who
made it mentions the fact as an unim-
portant incident of his life, and lives on
contentedly in little Philadelphia store.

The subject of servants quarters saws
the New York Times is one which comes
up for discussion very frequently. 1t is
probable that in the larger houses and
with the more wealthy families. servants
in America are almost luxuriously housed.
In one of the Goelet cottages at Newport
the servants rooms are all good sized
they have hardwood floors, they are
finished in hardwood the chamber sets
are hardwood, and there are rugs on the
floors. Every room in any of the cliff cot
tages is Notwithstanding that an or
binary person in comfortable circum-
stances could not obtain, and in the SER
wants quarters there are beautiful views
and always good air.
One large family having some
twenty servants i'm the country,
has a private dinging room and
a maid whose sole duty it is TO
care for it and wait on the servants table.
The chief does not share this ministra-
ton, for he and his special assistants of
his own nationality prefer to eat by them
selves in the kitchen
In another large house, where the maids
sleep on one of the upper floors and the
men in the basement a bathroom is pro-
vided for each on the respective floors.
English servants are not so well off. ac-
cording to the statement made by a Wo-
man to Charles +. Wingate, the sanitary
expert recently. In a house in England
az Whlch she had been butler and three
menservants slept in little cupboards in
the buffers pantry. A recent book ON the
subject tells of an English house where
"the butler sleeps in a dingy pantry
among teacups, which he sorts on his lln-
made bed before breakfast"
Mr.. Wingate has seen servants quar-
ters under the sidewalk in easements here
and the most unsanitary conditions. where
two servants slept together in a SINGLE
bed In a tiny room, in which was a sion
sink and with the window closed, because
IL opened into an airshaft into which the
window of a bathroom also opened. and
they. were afraid of il. In the ordinary
large city house, where many servants
are employed, the upper floor is divided
into six rooms, three front and three
back, which gives satisfactory accomo-
dations. A new device for the servants
is The laundry tub. with the nova bic par
tition, where two are thrown into one TO
be used for "a bathtub.

At recent Washington reception there
was a short but shap interchange of oour-
tesies between the wealthy wife of an OK
congressman and the wife of far from
rich bureau chief. 1t was a crowded after
noon affair, and the ex-congressnoan' :
wife was assisting the hostess in receiving
guests. When the wife of this bureau on

1t is a little curious that the most eX-
pert authorities almost without exception,
fall back upon the old-fashioned coffee-pot
as the one which, properly looked after
produces the best coffee. The reason this
is not true in the average kitchen is be-
cause the qualification mentioned is rot
carefully observed. One mistress insists
not only that the outside of the coffee-pot
shall be clean, but that it shall be polished
this not because she cares for the polish,
but because in this way the absolute clean
illness of the interior is insured. The &C.
post of sediment from many coffee-nak-
ngs finally affects the flavor of all brews
made in the pot Care too, should be taken
to keep the inside of the tea-kettle free
from deposit, and with pure, freshly boiled
water, a good grade of coffee, the fourth
