One great trouble with badly dressed

which overlays the distaff of the design,
each one of the thirteen points is tipped
with a gem found in one of the original
thirteen states. These stones, when read

PERFUME AND A PARTY.
Pretty Suggestion Thnt Comes From
Sir Edwin Arnold.

New ideas for parties are most well
come in these days, when we are all
craving for novelties that are not to ha
had Book teas have become suburban
says the Ladies' Pictorial, an English
publication; flower teas have had their
day. parties doccasion, such as drawing
room teas and shamrock teas and OK
ford and Cambridge teas, are necessarily
but few and far between therefore the
very pretty suggestion made by Sir Ed
win Arnold should be hailed with delight
by fanciful hostesses. and some pretty
conceits should await US in the lovely
spring afternoons when we all love to
surround ourselves with all that is pret-
tiest and daintiest The idea of tha an
thor of 'The Light Of Asia" comes from
the land of the almond blossom. 1t is
full of possibilities. and has a de1iciously
Oriental touch about 1t; for he proposes
that We should adopt the 'Ko-Kwai" or
perfume party Of Japan. One doubts if

must be delicate and the hostess dainti1y
clad All the guests must come fresh
from their bath In their very newest and
prettiest clothes; they must have eaten
no food or drunk no wines or spirits Of
late; neither must the men exhale the
odor Of even the mildest cigarette, and
each must lay before the hostess a. per
fumed sachet, the particular odor of
which the others must determine, a prize
being given to the one who guesses the
most correctly. 1t Is to be feared the
Western male would not be much In evil
dence at these parties. It would have

atmosphere of musk and lotus and patch

scarce that the '.Ko-Kwai'' is sure TO be
tried. It remains to be seen what we
make Of 1t In the West.

Whether you live in a fiat where every

If you lack closet room a box that will

which is cleanly and desirable In every
way. The box to go under the bed should
roll on casters and have handles with
which It can be moved easily. frAa
Other boxes can be used for window
seats, ottonnans and sdivans, for holding
hats boots and a hundred other things.
Any one who has the least knack in maxi

hooks. A corner on one side is fitted as
writing place, with various little con-

er corner is arranged in the same way as
a dressing table, with a three-foId mirror
hung across the corner and all the pretty
'needfuls' Of a woman's toilet spread on
the nicely-draped shelf. The effect Is
original and charming. The screen must

An Interesting Operation.

A very interesting operation was nerforned in New York upon Kate Farley by Dr. Brewster, a dentist of Lefferts place. Mrs. Farley has been at the Memorial hospital for several weeks with two compound fractures of the lower jaw. The operation con- sisted of cementing the upper and low CT jaws together, so that the broken bones of the lower jaw may be held firmly in place until the fractures are healed. Until the healing has taken place the woman will not be able to open her mouth, so that nourishment will be given her through tubes lead ing through small apertures where several of her teeth are broken out. The primary part of the operation was similar to the process used by dentists in making new sets of teeth for persons who have none pr. Brewster first made an impression of the upper and lower teeth. From these impressions he made a rubber spiint which fitted the impressions Of the teeth He then eemented this splint to the teeth, clos ing the jaws firmly together.
