of this fact.
Women possess more tact and are reader

sterner sex. They love to be noticed
earlier in life and resort to more devices
to bring about this result.
While a country boy is wondering how
ne can manage to find an excuse for keep
ing away from the party, and If he is
obliged to go how he can best conceal
his hands and feet, his sister is wheed-
ling her parents to get her a new gown
for the occasion, and is practising before
the mirror to render herself an object of
attention.
A young man will sit up half the night
10 read a book, and lie awake the other
half TO think about its problems, while
his sister reads the reviews in the weekly
papers. and talks glibly of it to her friends,
who never knew her brother has opened

Not long ago 1 heard lady make some
brilliant remarks upon leading questions
of the day at a dinner table. Her husband
smiled as he listened, and said nothing.
But 1 happened to be present later when
the guests had gone and the husband ask

Mrs. ]. Pierpont Morgan is said to be
the only woman in the country who owns
a silver gilt dinner service. In Europe
they are more frequently seen than silver
or gold services
The cost of Mrs. Morgan's set was $50

special design, and a vast number of men
worked for months in carrying out The
order. The dies were purchased by the
owner, and therefore the set can not be
duplicated. There are 300 pieces; among
the number are four candelabra, four
compotiers twenty-four dessert plates
twenty-four finger bowls. and sufficient
forks, knives, spoons and other things TO
dine twentyfour people
The center piece, which is, of course
intended for fruit or flowers, or both, is
ornamented with six cherub heads. and
venus fourteen inches high surmounts the
whole. Cornucopias from which flow the
fruits of the earth, are part of the scheme
of decoration.
The style of the service is Romanesque
The reason for making it in silver gilt is
