Successful as a caterer.

A Chicago woman he's adopted a nov
el form OF catering as Il business. Her

courses, and the hostesses who have

dinners are invariably successful.
In addition to the dining room this
energetic young woman looks after the
reception and dressing rooms. In the
former she rearranges the bric-a-b brac

The Care of the Hands.

Beautiful hands are always attrac-
tive, and, while all nands cannot be
beautiful as to form, e the hands are
properly cared for they can be made
TO look very pretty. The ideal hand Is
long and delicate, the fingers are soft,
round, small and tapering. and the
nails are nicely rounded. By care and
attention every hand can be made to
resemble this ideal hand.
The actual size OF the hand, Of
course, cannot be altered, but it can be
made soft and white. and the nails can
be trained so that IN short while
the hand, however large, will be pret-
ty.
At night wash the hands in warm
water, using the best quality of soap,
and after thoroughly cleansing the
skin rinse them In clear water, dry
well, and be very, very sure that they
are absolutely dry. At night rub the
hands all over with cold cream or Gu.
cumber cream, and take an old pair Of
gloves that are well stretched, cut the
tips OF the fingers off and slip the
gloves on over your greasy hands. A
few nights Of this treatment will do
wonders. In the morning wash your
hands in the usual way, and as you
dry them push back the skin around
the edge of each nail. Presently lit
tie crescent viii appear TO prevent
the skin growing up the nails and
again covering the crescent, rub the
skin with lemon juice; but If you re-
member to push the skin back every
time you wash your hands, this VIII
not happen.
Let the length and shape OF the nails
follow the formation Of each finger.
Once week the nails shonld be lnani-
cured as follows; Soak the finger tips
for about five minutes in hot, soapy
water, wipe them dry; then with n
little cuucle knife push the skin back
from the nails, and with curved scis
sors remove any proud" flesh Then
shape the nails; this is best done with
a file, especially II the nails hav, a ten
dency TO break. The final touch to the
nails is given with polishing powder
and chamois. Edna Burd, In Ameri.

The stone of sconc.

When the coronation OF Edward VII.
takes place in Westminster Abbey one
will be reminded of an Interesting link
connecting him with first OF EnglGnd's
Edwards.
In 1896, when Scotland fell into the
hands Of her southern nelghbor, Ed
ward carried off to London the large
stone called the "Stone of Scone."
upon which the Scottish Kings had
been crowned from time beyond mem
ory.
Tradition had 1t that this was the
very stone upon which Jacob had slept
at Bethel.
This block was taken to Westminster
Abbey, where 1t was placed as n sup
port to the seat OF stately throne
chair, and where 1t has ever since
played an important part in the cor
onation ceremonies of the English sov-
creigns, that take place In this splendid
and historic Abbey, which stands close
to the Houses Of Parliament and al
most as near and within sound Of the
Thames as II washes the embankment.

Honnets For Children.

All young children wear the pictnl-
esque bOnnets; the pokcs and the round
shapes made Of shirred silk. velvet, or
cloth. The latter are almost too heavy
even in the lightweight cloths TO be
generally recommended. These bon.
nets are good things for winter wear,
as the head fits close into the crown,
and there is consequently sufficient
warmth at the back of tne head, while
the flaring brim is very pretty, and
shows off the delicate features in u
charmlngly picturesque fashion. Bows

PARTRIDGE AND PHEASANT.
A Hybrid Game Bird That Has Appeared
In Oregon.


In Oregon.
There is movement on foot among
sportsmon in Portland TO introduce the
English OF gray partridge in Oregon
next spring. 1t is proposed TO import
at least fifty pairs Of these birds, and
as they are hardy and prolific, that
number Il properly placed and protect.
ed for q few years, should give the
species n fair start The Willamette
Valley should be paradise for them,
rs they prosper best where the high.
est state Of cultivation prevails, and
besides are said TO be benefit to agri-
culture.
The gray partridge is a fine, gany
bird, lying we'll to dogs, and rivaling
the ringnecs pheasant for sport. 1t
is Il very plump. handsome bird. some
what resembling the Oregon quail in
form, but tully twice as large. and
Will make n fine addition TO the list
of game birds in the State. Their habi-
tat is almost entirely confined TO the
cultivated fields. and ihey rarely take
to brush cover.
Subscription lists to defray the ex
penses of bringing the birds from Eng
land are in the hands of several sports
men, and also in the various gun stores
of Portland. and are being very liber.
ally subscribed to.
Mr.. Steiner. Of Steiner's Market. Sa.
lem, has sent to the Oregonian Il bird
which is cross between the blue
grouse and the Chinese pheasant,
which, he says. is the first Of the kind
ever seen by any of the Salem sports
men.
The shape and markings of the bird
plainly show that it Is n hybrid of the
two species named The body is short
er and more chunky than that of thu
pheasant; the head is shaped like q
pbcasants, the red circle around the
eyes being visible. though not so
marked as in the pheasant. The legs
and feet are those of the grouse, and
are devoid of the spurs worn by pleas
ants. The oolors and markings OF the
two birds are so blended in the cross
that it is hardly possible to tell which
parent 1t favors most. The tail is
longer than that of the grouse, and
shows a slight inclination TO he pointed
like that OF the pheasant. The breast
shows Il semblancc of the rich purple
coloring OF the pheasant, but there is
no sign OF the white ring around the
neck. The bird is plumper and heavi-
or than 4 pheasant of the same age,
and 1t is evident that the cross Is an
Improvement on the species which pro-
duced it, except that it is rot so hand
some as the pheasant.
A similar hybrid, shot near Corvallis
by a resident of Portland, was de-
scribed in the Oragonian soon after
the shooting season opened. and its
skin. mounted in very good style. il
now on exhibition in the window of I
Third street gun store. These are the
only snecimons Of a cross between the
pheasant and the grouse which have
been heard of here, but whole brood
of the progeny OF n pheasant and a
domestic fowl were exhibited year or
two ago.
The female pheasant being Of 50
much palmer plumuSe than the cock,
the female hybrid of the two might
pass without notice. 1t is scarcely
probable that any new species OF game
bird viii result from this cross breed
inc, as such hyhrlds are rarely fertile.
