One on Old Man.

He was the son of worthy citizen,
and had just returned from college
His father was brusque, matter-of-fact
man, who had no liking for anything
pronounced, and he noticed with sor-
row that his son returned with the
latest thing in collars, and various
other insignia of fashion. The old gen.
tleman surveyed him critically, when
he appeared in his office, and then
blwted out:
Young man, you look like an idiot"
just at that moment, and before the
young man had time to make fitting
reply, a friend walked in.
why. halloa. Billy! Have you re-
turned?" he asked. Dear me. how
much you resemble your father!"
so he has been telling me-" replied
Billy.
And from that day to this the old
gentleman has had no fault to find with
his son.-Chicago journal.

DAINTY DRESS CLOSETS.
perfumed Pads on Ceilings and Walls
Add Much to Their At
Effectiveness.

Perfumed pads for trunk trays and
compartments of the dresser have
proved SO satisfactory in imparting
that delicate scent which women love
that one woman has carried out the
scheme still further. She has been in
the habit of hanging sachets of her
favorite powder in her clothes closet,
but it did not seem to be as satisfac-
tory as the pads in the bureau. She eN-
perimented by hanging sheets around
the wall and using a liquid scent, but
that evaporated. Finally she took out
the pads from her trunk and hung
them on the hooks in the dress closet.
Then she thought: why not pad the
closet 2"
No sooner thought of than done. Her
best dress closet is now upholstered
over all the walls and ceiling. She did
it herself. The backing of the pads is
cheese-cloth. Then there is thick
layer of cotton batting thickly strewn
with her favorite violet sachet powder,
and covering the whole is delicate
shade of violet China silk. Before
fastening this lining to the walls of the
closet it was tied in comfort" style
with dainty baby ribbon, tied in bow
knots.
The pads are bound all around the
edge with violet satin ribbon, having
loops at the upper edge to hang the
pads to the wardrobe hooks. These
bindings are not "sewed to stay at the
top, but may be easily ripped loose in
order to renew the powder at any time.
Pads on the ceiling and above the
hooks are fastened with brass headed
tacks hidden under the ribbon bows.
This luxurious closet may be imitat-
ed in cheaper upholstery and be
quite as dainty. Silkolines, which
come in such delicate hues and
patterns, with sprays of the most
delicate flowers, can be used. These
sheer and inexpensive materials are
to be had with white or shaded
ground, and the sprays of flowers may
match the odor used-violets, roses,
crab-apple blossoms, heliotropes, or
almost anything i'll the way of flower
from which perfume is extracted. If a
white ground with sprays of flowers is
used, the bow knots can match the
flower, and if tinted ground is used,
white ribbon is very pretty.-N. Y.

CINDERELLA PARTIES.
Something Comparatively New In the
Way of a Fashionable Even
ing Entertainment.

London society has been amusing
itself with Cinderella parties, and it is
said functions of similar character
have taken place recently at some pri-
vate houses in New York. The Gin
derella party is not the usually accept
ed variety by that name where the
guests are bound to say Good night
just at the stroke of midnight. That
sort of entertainment has proved itself
almost impossible except among the
youngest set, for where guests do not
arrive until the unholy hour of II or
thereabout it is hard to have cast iron
rule concerning their departure.
This Cinderella party owes its name
to the chief source of amusement
namely, the wooden shoe which is fur
nished by the Oriental store, and which
in its primitive condition is used by the
eastern woman in going to her bath.
The shoe is sometimes highly orna-
mented with painting, gliding, etc, and
the trick is to find foot that will eX-
actly fit it's rather unusual proper
tons.
The masculine sex is not debarred
from this form of entertainment, as
the committee of arbitration and final
court of appeal are formed of the male
members of the entertainment, and on
them devolves the tremendous task of
deciding when fair ones disagree. The
wooden shoe, so familiar to frequent
ers of oriental bric-a-brac shops, is mar
row and quite long, and the foot on
which it is tried must not protrude an
infnitesimal portion of an inch over
the edge. Opportunities sfor dainty
foot gear, for limitless discussions and
coquettish attitudes are innumerable,
and are usually made the most of. On
the hostess devolves the pleasure of
providing suitable gift for the for
tunate possessor of the prize foot and
the fortunate Cinderella gives the shoe
as a souvenir to some member of the
committee.
There has always been charm about
the story of Cinderella which no
amount of matured intellect is able to
destroy. The prince and the slipper
have formed the basis of many girlish
dream, and society, always amiable to
pretty foibles, has taken this fact into
consideration, apparently, in providing
the latest form of entertainment for its
votaries.-N. Y. Herald.

they cannot be kept fresh for several
seasons if they are worn more than
three months at a time.
An exceedingly pretty ribbon collar
cite and one that is at the same time
inexpensive, can be gotten up at home,
with very little trouble. The affair will
not cost more than three dollars, to
place the highest figure upon it, which
is very cheap when one stops to con-
slider the prices asked for those ready
made at the stores.
Six yards of ribbon and two yards
of netting are all that need be pur-
chased. The foundation band. of
course, is the first step towards the
making of the collarette. After this
is cut to fit the neck. few extra
inches being allowed since it fastens
over the coat collar, thick ruffle of the
net is sewed on. Then the ribbon is cut
in separate pieces, doubled and sewed
upon the band. The top of the ribbon
is boX-plaited, so that the ends ruffie
out over the frilling of net, and in this
manner most beautiful effect is OBJ
tanned.
The ribbon in the case is of gros grain
silk, white and black striped, and costs
40 cents yard. The net is also of black
silk and can be bought for 30 cents.
Two yards are all that is required.

Few hostesses understand the art of
pouring tea and coffee, simple as it ap-
pears. AS rule, the guest of honor is
offered the first cup, which is the
weakest, and the children if served at
all, are given the last and strongest.
When it is desired to have all the cups
of uniform strength one should pour
little into each. and then begin over
again, reversing the order. In England
this is so well understood that a
pourer of tea or coffee does not begin
to replenish the cups till all are be-
fore her.

MORE KAFIR CORN.
Kansas Farmers Favor This New
Forage Production.

The returns of assessors to the Kan
sas board of agriculture show the acre
age of Kafir corn to be Al, 152 acres or
about 8 per cent greater than last year
The counties now having 10000 acres
and more are Greenwood with 33.OS5
acres. Lyon 2, 246, Butler &c, 1853, Dick

These Is counties comprise 45.5 Der
cent or nearly one-half of the entire
area of the crop in the state. In the
remaining 80 counties the acreage
ranges from "a acres in Sherman coun-
ty to 9,777 acres in Marion.
An interesting feature in the returns
is that the foremost corn counties. com
prising 81 per cent of the total corn &C
reage, have 80 per cent of the total
area of Kafir corn.
The rapidity with which Kafr corn
has found favor among feeders and
farmers is demonstrated by the fact
that seven years ago when the crop
was first reported to the state
board of agriculture there were but
46 941 acres, while the returns now give
5S2.S 95 acres, marvellous increase Of
1,142 per cent, showing that it has ia
ken rank among the most valued foods
for live stock in all sections OF the
state.
Milo maize and Jerusalem corn, non
saccharine sOrghums near kin to Kafir
corn and of no mean value, have for
four years past steadily declined in
acreage, the former about one-haIf.
and the latter from $4,000 to BIS acres.
Saccharine sorghum, the running
mate of Kafir corn as forage, shows
q superb increase in acreage rising
from 3SS. 259 acres last year to AS 79l
