Effective Table Covers.

Particularly effective for table
covers is the new improved Java or
Aida canvas, which comes in very
harmonious colorings and graceful
designs. The material being revers-
ible, variety in the color may be
introduced by using alternately the
front and back. In one example the
pure white ground is strewn with
large lilies or dahlias and foliage
woven with spring green, while
streaks of this tender color form
kind of fretting all over the back
ground, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
The green parts representing the
pattern are filled with cross stitch
or, newer still, solid embroidery in
lovely natural tints, mostly wrought
in lustrine or any other glossy
thread as a substitute for silk. How
ever, mere outlining will be found
sufficient by many, while others still
frequently use the material as it
comes from the manufacturer. Huge
flowers are more striking when well
shaded and relieved with japanese
gold. Ivory work could be utilized
to cover the damask band of other
table covers in khaki shades.

Fruit at Meals,

We put ripe fruit on our tables
as dessert" as a finish wherewith
to round off a repast already suiii-
GENTLY substantial. In reality it
ought to be allowed for as part of
that meal. Ripe fruit rarely if ever
digests properly when eaten after
other food. Its place in the dietary
is undoubtedly in between more sol
id repasts. Cooked fruit should
form part of course or possibly
the entire portion of the sweet
course at luncheon or dinner and,
indeed, at breakfast also, if you will,
for with many people cooked fruit is
never better liked than at the table
set for the first meal of the day.

Wax Berry Decoration.

For decorative use an old time fa-
vorite, the wax berry, is receiving
marked attention just now. Florists
have had it in stock for some time,
decorative artists are introducing
it in designs and mineral painters
are using it for ornamenting plates,
trays and vases. 1t is also being in
troduced in water color sketches.
In one home in this borough crys-
tai bowls and silver vases are kept
filled with wax berries, constant
supply being sent in from the coun-
try. The berries will keep fresh for
some time, and even when the leaves
are dry they are still effective. For
winter decoration for sitting room
or den wax berries are appropriate
and beautiful.

Sweet Potato PineannIa.

Sweet potato pineapple is pret-
ty way to serve this popular vege-
table. Boil, peel and mash four or
five good sized sweet potatoes. Add
one large tablespoonful of butter,
one tablespoonful of very light
brown sugar, one teaspoonful of
salt, one pinch each of mace and
grated nutmeg. Mold this into pine
apple shape and place on a buttered
tin. With the tip of teaspoon
make tiny depressions to resemble
the dots in pineapple. Into each
one put a wee bit of butter Light
ly brown in hot oven. If you wish,
you can make small pineapple for
each one at the table.

Many columns might be written

There is the pepper bought ground,

spices ditto, and one cannot use the

Where Woman Is Lord.

In tiny island called Minikoi,
off the southern coast of India, a
most peculiar state of society ex-
lists, for woman is lord of all she
surveys. The wife is the recognized
head of the house. She owns it and
everything in it, while anything that
her husband, who works very hard,
can earn goes to increase her wealth.
Her husband belongs to her, too,
and when she marries him she gives
lin her name instead of taking his.
