Mrs. Astor is as popular with the older

Of social nobility and an introduction to her
is a very important item In a young mans

with her own sex, but Mrs. Astors high
bred face and gentle manners arouse more
enthusiasm than envy even among women
less fortunate than herself
Colonel John Jacob Astor y also i'm
mensely popular Just now, for the halo OF
the military hero is around his head. His
patriotism and the soldierly simplicity of
his bearing during the late war earned him
more friends than were ever attracted by
his millions. and the fact that he neither

political preferment added greatly to his
popularity.

In an improved shipping crate for chickens
a rectangular frame is made OF steel rods
hinged together to form folding box when
covered with wire netting, the lids being of
wood to protect the crate from bending out

Tough meats are made eatable by the use
OF a new machine, which has two rollers ad-
justably mounted in frame, with crank
attached to one roller by which the two are
revolved and the meat is passed between

Dishes are easily drained by a new dish

earnestly talking together the chances are
that they are not discussing the opera or
somebody's engagement, but are making
plans for the new club in which that
charming young matron Is trying to in
terest all her friends. The sole object OF
the club is to foster individuality in dress,
each member pledging herself to design all
her own costumes and to induce as many
other women as possible to do the same.
Whether this movement will result In
diversity OF styles similar to that which
characterized the first few years OF this
century remains to be seen. The present
tendency seems to be toward classic draper
les and clinging. snaky effects, and at the
theater the other evening two girls In the
orchestra, evidently prospective members OF
the new club, were discussing one Of the
costumes worn by Elsie de Wolfe in Cath
crime and specializing as to how the design
could be modified sufficiently to meet the
requirements of originality without sacri-
ficing the characteristic features OF the
gown. l gathered from their talk that
there was soon to be costume party In
upper tendon, at which each woman would
wear a dress Of her own designing. BY the
time the curtain went up on the third act
1t was arranged that the blonde girl should
call on the brunette the next afternoon and
see dress which the latter had Just evolved
from her inner consciousness and which
she herself pronounced "a dear"
The dressmakers are inclined to smile at
the new fad; 1t doesn't trouble them In the
least for they know that while fashionable
women may find amusement for a season
in designing costumes they have neither the
skill nor patience to make up their own
designs, so the dressmaker's occupation Is
secure.
