Now that socety'S great rush of the

may be thankful that a bit of comfort be-

set down his teacup, and these tables are
so small and light that they can be drawn
closely up to the chair. Only those aware
of the vagaries of teacups can imagine the
relief they afford to the nerves. This GUS
tom of Individual tables. which Is ia pidly
spreading in this country, is one of the
good things that a few New York women
have brought away from China. In fact,
the Chinese have many things they might

Clothing in Summer.


In warm weather it is absolutely neces-
sary to wear two suits of lingerie a day
After the midday heat ones garments
should be taken off and allowed to air by a
sunny, breezy window, a bath and fresh
clothes and white frock making one over
for the evening into a new being. If the
laundry is consideratiOn-and whose is
not, if only consideration for "A working wo-
man and not for ones pocket book-the first
suit may be worn for several mornings the
second suit reserved for afternoon and
evening. Clothes will keep fresh longer in
rising to retiring.
Bodces and skirts must be aired thor
oughly after every wearing. turning them in
side out, riddng them of dust and inserting
a tiny white lawn lining to neck and Collar
where it comes against the bare skin. This
little precauton will keep the delicate lining
of the bodice clean until 1t is cast aside for
good.
The airing of the shoes is most necessary,
and they should never be shut up in close
box. They may be ranged on the open
shelves of an airy closet, or on a shelf pro-
tected by curtain from the dust. Chang
ing the shoes during the day not only Sc
cures greater comfort to the feet, but pre-
serves the good condition of the footwear.
Summer corSetS are an important item If
one wears those one has for winter it means
incasinS ores self in an air-tight compart-
ment at a season when the body needs the
most fresh air. The summer corset must be
as perfect in shape and fit as the winter
but let it be of thinnest China silk. of white

The bones and steels will do their work to
perfection. and still the body NAV have

A GREEN DECORATION QUITE THE

Appetizing Relishes and Dainty Ways

HOme-lIade Cakes.
Written for The Evening Star.

Now that the back of the summer Is
broken there Is an inspiration toward fresh
ness and newness in everything. Especially
Is this discerned in the service of luncheons
and afternoon tea, where several little
ultra-fashionable points are beginning to
make their way preparatory to autumn
gaiety. On the luncheon table green is still
its dominant color One of the new ways In
which this color is used is the fine, fiat
wreath of asparagus spray which Is ar
ranged upon the white cloth. 1t Is an ex-
tremely dainty and unusual decoration The
filmy spray is broken into bits about six
inches in length, and they are then laid SO
as to form the wreath. If a more broken
effect than a wreath is desired the little
sprays are equally adapted to form a gar
landed border. 1t should always lie per-
fectly fiat on the table and small dishes are
set upon it in a way quite irregardiess OF
its presence. With any sort OF floral Scheme
the wreath is appropriate and 1t is by no
means an expensive or difficult decoration.
The newest thing in China that is now
seen and which is regarded as being par
ticuarly smart is the "all-over white 1t

The only other bit of color that is seen Is
the arms of the family done at the sides
of the pieces. not in the center, and in olive

Necktie clasps are very much In evil
dence on the fall street costumes. The
fashionable cravat which appears upon at

when drawn through such a clasp, than
when tied. and the touch of gold har-

From Ha per's BaZar.
A splinter is a little thing, but capable
of creating a great deal of mischief, dis
comfort and pain. Every mother of small
children should provide herself with pair
of sharp-pointed forceps for this emer-
gency. When the splinter is imbedded in
the flesh of hand or foot the point of a
small pair of scissors-a manicure pair will
answer well-should be inserted directly
over and following the path of the splinter,
and small incision made. If there be any
bleeding stanch it by little pressure, then
open the wound by stretching it a little, and
with your forceps rck out the offending
object. When the splinter is under the nail
cut little Vshaped piece out Of the nail
and with the forceps the splinter is easily
removed. Protect the cut made with a
little collodiop or a finger-cot.
