TRUE HOSPITALITY.

Marion Harland in GlObe-Democrat.1
I called the other day upon a woman
who has never been rich, but always
refined. She is now poor. She can never
be common. Her lunch hour was earlier
than 1 had supposed, and my call in
fringed upon it. She and her daughter
were at table.
You shall not co. she insisted. Il
can give you cup of hot tea and little
else besides Observation-Disclosures nd-kiss-
es.' The welcome must make up the
rest
The cheese had been melted upon but
tered toast, cut by a tin shape" into
scalloped Ovals; it was golden-brown in
color, crisp to the teeth, savory to the
palate. The tea was Scalding and fresh
and fragrant; for meat we had three
Hamburg steaks, garnished with Gel
cry tops. They were accompanied by
celery and-apple salad, treated on the
table to a French dressing; wafery
slices of brown bread and butter were
with it. Afterward we had Albert bis
cults and a second cup of tea, and moth
ing else. Beyond the laughing remark
prefacing the frugal meal, the hostess
offered no apology. She lived in this
style every day, affecting nothing and
hiding nothing. A gentlewOman ingram,
if she had sat down to three meals a
day alone she would have breakfasted,
lunched and dined-not merely fed.LuX-

LIGHTING THE ROOM.
TFrom Harper's Bazar.l


The favorite way of lighting a room at
present is the one that will give thu
most light and not cast unbecoming
shadows nor too strong a light. The
fashion of lighting rooms with electrici-
ty is, of course, a fad of the present
time, but there are great many peo-
pie who object to electricity on account
of it's being so unbecoming; and al
though some of the most beautiful
rooms in this country are lighted by
this means, every effort is made to
soften the too crude effect.
In very large rooms-drawing rooms
and ball rooms-that are lighted from
the top, the colored glass globes are
used. Chandeliers are not often seen
now, and the side lights are so ar
ranged that while they give plenty of
light to the room, they are not placed
on level with the eyes, and they, too,
are covered either with cOlored globes
or with silk shades over the glass
globes. A very attractive drawing room
in New York city, furnished in green,
has all the electric globes covered with
stiff little shades of green silk, shirred
and ruff1ed, the silk is of so thin quail
ity that it does not darken the light.
Rose color and light yellow are also
much used in shades for electric lights,
while some of the lamps that are light
ed with electricity have large over
hanging shades of red; thin silk being
used, the light is not too darkened.

FIGHTING MOCK FIRE

Fire Department

New York, March 16.-The use to which
a skyScraper may be put, a point from
which to throw water on nearby burn
ing houses, has just been demonstrated by
Chief Bonner of the fire department, who
used the roof of the st. Paul building for
his experiment.
Running up the elevator, shaft is a
Standpipe that energies on the roof. Chief
Bonner called out engine No. % from the
Chambers street station and coupled a
twin line of three-inch hose to the stand
pipe on the Ann street side of the build
ing.
The firemen then went to the roof, which
is 81 feet above the pavement. and at
tached hose to the top of the standpipe.
The stream was thrown across Broadway
and fell upon St. PauTs church in a sheet
of spray and mist. The experiment dem
onstrated that from the roof of the St.
Paul building a fire in the Aston House
could be reached with ease.
After the stream had played for four
minutes the standpipe burst just above the
thirteenth floor. The pipe was guaranteed
to bear a pressure of 300 pounds to the
square inch. At the time of the collapse

A more pitifu1 sight than a mother and

There are thousands of mothers and their
