A man of 50 who had CHANGED never to
hear of sandwiches from the time he was
a boy. when he was confined principally
to three varfeties-ham, tongue and corned
beef-and when, aside from what kind he
would take, the chief question was
whether he would have mustard on ii,
might be surprised to learn that nowa-
days sandwiches are made in more var
ieties thar his own years number con-
| siderably more. In one big lunch estab-
lishment there are made sandwiches in
sixty-four varieties. says the New York
Sun" The differences between some Of
these varieties would be slight. but at the
same time they would be clear and dis
tinct; and there would regularly be found
on sale on the counter more than twenty
varieties always ready. The others in
clude varieties more or less, peculiar to
some season, or sandwiches supplied to
order, as many sandwiches are
days.
Besides the familiar ham, tongue,
corned beef, roast beef. turkey and chick
en- sandwiches, there are sold in these
days. either already prepared or made to
order, a dozen varieties of what may be
called fish sandwiches, these including
the commonly sold sardine sandwiches.
and anchovy sandwiches, and sandwiches
made with little fishes called sardelles.
and salmon sandwiches, and sandwiches
made with muskallonge. soft shell crab
sandwiches, lobster sandwiches, shrimp
sandwiches, Goldfish sandwiches. and
sandwiches made with a fried Goldfish cake
between slices Of bread. OF cheese sand
witches there are ten at least including
many regularly supplied and others made
to order.
There are sold nowadays sandwiches
made of various kinds of salads, and or
ders for such sandwiches are not unusual.
In a place where sandwiches in great
variety are sold, If a customer asked for
a salad sandwich the waiter wouldn't
need to ask what was wanted; he would
know and he would get it for him with
ont question, as a matter of course. and
the same would be true if the request
were LOT u lOfDdlO sandwich OF a sand
wich made with watercresses.
Of combination sandwiches. made with
more than one kind of meat, as sand
witches of ham and chicken, chicken and
tongue. and so on. there are various
kinds, as there are also of sandwiches
made of various materials combined; as,
for instance, sandwiches made of minced
ham and chow chow, sandwiches of chop
ped chicken, ham and egg; sandwiches of
minced tongue and chicken. egg sand
witches, and so on. So thai it would not
be very difficult to enumerate the sixty
four varieties of sandwiches now made,
and new varieties are being added all
the time.
A buttonhole party may be slipped into
the list of possibilities for the entertain
ment of summer households. Each guest
is asked to bring needle, thread and Thin
BILE, strips of cloth being provided by the
hostess or promoters of the entertain,
nent These strips are distributed. and
at a signal every member of the COM
pan sets 20 work upon the production
Of a buttonnole in his piece of cloth. At
a second signal the competition closes;
each piece of cloth is pinned 20 a strip
of paper bearing the workers name, and
all are collected TO be submitted to a
committee Of three or five selected from
the company to make the awards. Tha
list of prizes may be a long one If de-
sired, and may include one for the best
buttonhole in the ompany one for that
made in the shortest time, one for the
best and second best respectively among
the ladies and the gentlemen, with con-
ISOLATION prizes for the poorest and that
which took the longest time to produce.
A further variation of the entertainment
is that the guests shall come in some
sort Of fancy costume. This may be in
discriminate fancy dress or the costume
of a distinctive period like the Colonial,
Empire, etc. For a children's party,
where the children are not too young.
this form of entertainment has been used
with great success.
1t is a very nice fancy for a girl to
have her individual toilet and bed linen,
instead of using that of the general house
hold, says TT Vogue" In the first
place she can have a very pretty linen
chest of carved or burnt wood, or only a
plain box. prettfiy upholstered. If she is

make the box herself, with the help Of a
carpenter-not actually make the box, but
decorate it. The size depends upon the
amount of linen she wishes to have. Three
pairs of sheets, three pillow cases to each
pillow, six towels, three bath towels. two
hin bed spreads for night use. two pretty
spreads for the day with two bureau
scarfs, bed, table covers and washstand
covers are enough to start with. The
linen should be fine and hemstitched; this
can also be lone by the owner ii expense
is to be considered. The linen should all
be marked with a girls initials or a mon
ogrann. The linen chest may be uphol-
stored on the inside, top and bottom with
a sachet made Of canton flannel, two
thicknesses. the rough sides turned to-
gether, and covered on the Upper side with
silk. Sachet powder or lavender is
sprinkled on the flannel before making it
up. It should not be very securely fast
ened that it may be taken out when fresh
lavender or sachet powder is to be put
in. The mattress and pillows Of the bed
should have tight-ftting covers Of sheet
ing, which are left open at one end and
sIip-stitched on, in order to take them off
to be Numbered when necessary. A duvet
in a color to match the room is also a
pretty addition to a bed.
