Dining Table Decoration

ApropoS of dining tables a bright girl
was telling recently how she had ar
ranged a centerpiecc for her mother
birthday dinner after one she saw on
the Prince of Wales yacht.
NO." she explained; Il have not been
the guest of Halbert Hedward, but
was invited with a party on board OF
his former yacht, which is now the
property of n wealthy New Yorker
Most of the fiXings were left precisely
as they were planned by the stout gen.
tleman whom Tennyson POLITICALLY call
ed the heir of the kings of the sea-
He had many good ideas about things.
One day l was sitting in the cabin
when the man brought in n jardiniere
of orchids and set it in the center of
the table. Then he took it off again,
examined 1t and set it down more care
fully once more with n sort of snap.
Instantly little flames sprang UP among
the flowers in quite a fairylike way
They were wee electric lights, and he
had somehow missed the connection
the first time he set the piece down.
"A short time ago l had a quantity
of tiny bulbs set in among flowers for
mothers birthday. You use the small
est kind that comes-I think they call
them one-sixteenth candle power
about as big as the end of your little
finger. Having electricity In the house,
it was not a difficult matter to have
wires run up through the crack in the
center of our extension table, and the
effect was quite charming; only 1 had
to cut tiny hole in mothers best ia
blecloth. 1t didn't look bad, all neat
ly buttonholed round, and, you know,
one always has something in the mid
die of the table anyway. so it didn't
matter much
Matter! Not the least when the ia
blecloth interfered with n decoration a

heard that one went straight home and
shipped n bit out of the family dam

For summer Entertaininr.

The most charming little entertain
ments may be given during these
warm, sunny days when one has 4
beautiful home with trees and lawn
to show nature in her best mood. Gen
orally there is Il sudden cessation of
hospitality with the advent of warm
weather, and why this should be so
there is no reason. True, the straw
berry festivals and lawn fetes for char
liable purposes are many. but these
cannot take the place of a private en-
tertainment given to ones friends,
just as n luncheon or tea is during the
winters social season. Garden par
ties are very well, and in the right
hands they may become affairs of
beauty and enjoyment. but too often
they degenerate into a mere eating of
ice cream, listening to Indifferent
music and talking TO one person. with
the danger of finding a mass of bugs
crawling down your neck at any time.
Afternoon garden parties are not
often given in this country, although
in England they are very popular. If
the trees on the lawn afford the proper
degree OF shade. an affair of this kind
may be made n delight indeed, or If
a real garden is possessed, with masses
of roses and fragrant flowers bloom
ing, It is Il real charity TO invite ones
friends TO enjoy all the beauty on a
warm afternoon. \ river flowing at
the end of a garden or lawn is a pos
session not often known here, but if
there is any water near the little boat
with its gay sail or striped awning
will afford bliss to many and has been
known as n most potent factor in the
willy hands of Cupid in the past.
All that is needed for an affair of this
kind are plenty OF shade, a fine day,
one or two hooks with seats that the
other guests cannot see and any num-
Der OF tiny tables set with fruit. ices.
berries and the numerous other re-
freshing things which are delightful
adjuncts to a summer entertainment.
II is we'll not to have too many, and it
is we'll also to have n maid or two in
attendance to see that the edibles are
replenished properly and kept free
from harm.
One dear little old lady whose sub
urban home is relic of 90 years ago,
cool graystone. with quaint gables
and pointed windows fairly embower-
ed in a rose garden. which is-not very
large. but very delight for looks and
smells, gave rose party last week
The smooth f1agstone walks were bor-
dered with pink roses, hanging their
lovely heads with sweetness, and the
bits OF greensward showing between
the Overhanging bushes were as soft
as velvet Piles of bright cushions,
rugs, bamboo chairs and seats Were
all that this hostess had to provide.
Nature had done the rest, and her
work was well done, as was shown by
the beautiful blue sky with its light
clouds skimming across the rustling
trees, here and there the CLINT of a
river in the distance, beyond which the
distant mountain peaks stood out with
purple clearness, and all around and

r.u,.,n. Mustache and Beard.

Feminine mustaches and boards are
on the increase. Every coiffeur and
perfumer acknowledges this, with
| cheerful resignation, as a rule, since
the sale of ''infallible" nostrums there
by is kept up to a profitable point.
| Opinions OF scientific authorities are di-
vided as to the cause. Some say that
the constant use OF greasy complexion
creams is responsible. Others declare
that the cause lies much deeper, and
it is to be found in those mysterious "a
cial developments that have added
three inches to woman's average
height in the last 20 years. broadened
the feminine shoulder and decreased
the roundness of the feminine chest
and made the contralto singing voice
much commoner than il was.
However this may be, it is certain
that hairy diSfigurements are becoming
shockipgly common. Depilatories only
indTeasa th6 9yh, as as4.ule, causing the
hair to reappear in stronger form after
every 'Glean sweep" Beaches, which
whiten the offending hairs and cause
them to fall away through brittleness,
have less bad effects, but they do not
remove the Disagreement completely.
Some women are heroic enough to
clap sticks of hot rosin on the skin and
pull them off when cool, tearing out
the hairs en- masse. This, however, in
flames the skin and does not prevent
return.
Electrolysis remains-an operation by
which an electric needle is driven into
the root Of the hair, killing the latter
for good. 1t is tedious and expensive,
but it is usually-not invariably-effect-
i've. Unless performed by a thorough
ly skillful person, it is about as risky
an operation as could well be conceiv-
ed. Qualified surgeons are shy of IN
dertaking it unless they have made
special study of the process, for they
know the danger of fearful burns,
scars and disfgurements if mistake
is made. Where they fear to tread,
however. the uneducated man or wo-
man with n few weeks training steps
cheerfully in and operates ON any num-
Der of patients, always maintaining
(what learned skin specialists will not
maintain) that failure and mishap are
alike mpossible.-EXchange.

life, though it is usually granted for
enc occasion only. 1t is curious to
know that among those who have the
entree strict precedence is observed.
though among the general company it
is not, the women coming in as they
chance to arrive.
During Xictoria's reign the most bril-
liant drawing rooms were those held
soon after her marriage and the golden
and diamond jubilee drawing rooms.
On these latter occasions many noted
women who had been unable owing to
I'll health or mourning to put in an ap-
pearance at many preceding occasions
of the kind attended in their most gor-
geous array.
Princess Margaret Of Connaught
made her first appearance in society
at a recent, drawing room, not being
presented because she is a member of
the royal family, but simply taking her
stand with the receiving party. She
is one of the most charming of Victo-
ria's many granddaughters and was IS
last January She is an expert rider
and cyclist.-Chicago Record.

Children Rust In summer.

"That children do rust out during the
long summer vacation is unquestiona-
bly, a fact writes Edward Il. Rawson
in The Ladies' Home Journal; that
several weeks of the already too short
school year must be spent in rubbing
off the rust before the advance can be
resumed all teachers know. But that
is not the worst of it. When the rust
is removed, the former luster is not re-
stored. The child's brain is not in n
receptive condition; it has been allow
ed to rust. Children prefer regular en-
ployment, provided it be interesting.
However glad they are when the last
day of school comes, they are quite as
glad to resume their work in the fall
even if its interest is not great. \ boy,
or, more frequently, girl, will some
times overwork not because he is push
ed, but because he is permitted. Very
seldom will either a boy or a girl
choose to do nothing. One may choose
to do things other than those we re-
Quire and so be called idle or lazy. But
to be doing something is the natural
condition and the condition that is pre-
ferred. So strong is the instinct to be
active in both mind and body that,
when left to themselves, our children
will find something to do in spite of US,
and too frequently it is something that
might better not be done"

Alice Esther Pollard is the president

Southern HeroinesH

There is proposition now to erect a
monument to the women of the Confed-
eracy. Certainly no monument would
be more beautifully and eloquently sig
nificant. But whether it be erected or
not, as General Gordon says, there is
already q monument to them in every
southern heart.
The lot of the southern woman dur
ing the sixties was terrible one. 1t
fell to her to remain at home through
years of doubt and deprivation, to see
the men upon whom she had been ac-
customed to depend for protection and
sustenance leave for the front, to
await and to mourn their deaths, to
turn her delicate and unframed hands
to the work of providing food and
clothing for herself and her children
and all despite unprecedented obstacles
incident TO her situation on the scene
of the conflict and through inexpress-
ible perils threatened by the infiam-
nation of the slaves.
Nobly she did this work She not only
fed and clothed her family, but she
did much toward feeding and clothing
the army. She nursed the sick and
wounded. She endeared herself to the
negroes. She turned from her dead
and dried her tears to inspire the liv-
ing with deathless defiance. Through
it all was the spirit of imprisoned
conservation which makes martyrs and
fanatics and which works and wins
revolutions. The southern soldier was
the arm of the rebellion; the southern
woman was its soul-Louisville Cou-
rier-Journal.

room day in London. She is of foreign
birth, familiar with court customs of
the continent as well as Europe and is
most kind in explaining TO other wom-
en- the usages and etiquette of the Brit
ish court. The foreign embassadresses
and their daughters always have the
entree-that is, they are among the
favored few whom the queen receives
before the general company. Rarely
does she remain after the women who
have the entree make their bows be-
fore her. her place being taken by the
Princess OF Wales or some other mem
Der OF the royal family. This fact has
caused much envy on the part of the
general company.

Miss Clara Barton, accompanied by
Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey, counsel
for the Red Cross, is making a most
interesting tour of Europe. They went
as the accredited agents of the United
States, with the proper letters from
the secretary of state, to investigate
the organizations of the Red Cross in
the different countries. Geneva was
the point for which they first made, as
it is the fountain head of all Red Cross
effort. but probably the most interest
Barton is much beloved there because
of her work IN Cuba among the Span
