To Know Your Flower.

If one has tried on many Of the
flower coiffures. she will soon learn, re-
marks an exchange, that there are be-
coming flowers regardless of color be-
comingness, and the reverse. Some are
in sympathy with our heads and faces,
others are not. A single flower of pro-
nounced size is par excellence for some
heads and faces, an added charm,
while to others monstrosity out OF
line and rhythm. There are heads and
faces only fitted for the finest Of
feathery blossoms, others for small but
very decided floral specimens, and still
others for spiked blooms rather than
rounr disks in flower. Then, again,
there are faces born for roses only,
and faces and heads there are for
strong, violent colors, in yellow and
reds. To know your flower is a gift
not to be despised whenever floral
coiffures are la mode.

A Favorite Dessert.

Spanish cream is a favorite dessert.
For one quart of cold milk use half a
box Of gelatin. Cover and let them
stand together about an hour. Then
heat, but do not let the mixture boil.
Beat the yolks of four eggs and add to
them half a pound of fine sugar. Turn
the scalding milk over the eggs and
sugar, stirring all the time. Return
the mixture to the fire and stir until it
is Of the consistency Of soft custard.
Let the mixture become cold, stirring it
occasionally as it cools. When it be-
gins to thicken, flavor with vanilla. and
lightly stir in the whites of the eggs
that have been beaten to a stiff froth.
Turn the mixture into a mold and put
in a cold place. Make o. soft custard
and pour around this dessert when
serving it.

Something New in journalism.

Two American reporters for Lon
don newspapers are said to have been
discharged for "unseemly haste" in
getting the news Of the queens death
TO their publications. They displayed
a lack of dignity that is deemed ex-
tremely reprehensible, and in London,
it seems, newspaper men are engaged
solely for their dignified bearing. It
is not the speed with which news is
taken to a telegraph office that counts;
it is the impressiveness Of the man who
carries it. Thus it may reasonably. be
expected that the old familiar line,
Delayed in transmission, will be sup
plemented in London hereafter by
some such explanations as Delayed
by dignity or ''This- important news
would have been presented to our read
ers earlier if the loyal man who was
carrying it had not stopped to cheer for
the king" In view Of the difference
in methods and ideas it is rather
strange that some American reporters
in London have not been condemned
to penal servitude for life.

Alleged Small POx Patient Discovered
in Racine is Said to Have Gone
to Racine From kenOsha.
CASE is NOT WELL DEVELOPED.
But Doctors Consider 1t Suspicious One
and the Board of Health is Asked to
Take Some Action on the Matter.

Racine has mystery in the way of
alleged small pox case in which the
patient is said to be a resident of Ke-
nosha. The case was discovered yes
terday, and while the health officials
have been called into the matter no.
thing has been done in regard to the
case. TIE physician called to attend
the case refused to give the name OF
the man, and stated nothing further
Racine from Kenosha.
The Racine Journal, in speaking OF
the case, has the following to say in
regard to the matter:
sis there a case of small pox in the
city? One of the leading physicians
and two members of the board of
health are now delibera ting on that
important question, and are awaiting
further developments in the case, be-
fore making public their findings.
"These startling facts were ascer-
tanned by Journal representative this
afternoon. It came about this way: It
seems that the three physicians in
question were watering their horses at
the Columbian corners, unconscious OF
there being any other person around
but themselves.
"The gentlemen of medicine COM
menced discussing case that one of
the trio had been called upon to treat,
in the vicinity of Racine street. The
physician who was called to attend the
person, had some doubts as to whether
it was small pox or not, but concluded
that it resem b1ed and might be the
dreaded disease.
'As the two other physicians were
members of the board of health he
consulted them in regard to the case.
Judging from the conversation, the at
tending physician was to inform the
other physicians as to the status of
the case, after he had made a more
complete diagnosis this afternoon.
zone of the members of the board
of health consulted in regard to the
matter, was called up and interviewed.
He was very reticent and preferred to
remain silent. He admitted, how
ever, that he had been given a de-
scription of the case, but was unable
to form any conclusions and must wait
further report from the physician.
"The attending physician was called
up and interviewed and he said that
there was nothing to report in the pa
pers at present. He was simply called
in on the case, and from appearances
thought perhaps it might be mild
case of the disease, but could not say
that it was, in fact was rather in
c1ined to say at this time that it was
some other disease.
"From other sources the reporter as
certained that the person who is sick
came from Kenosha. or at any rate had
been staying in that city for some time
back.
cit is very queer ailrnent and puz-
cling the physician"

Charm of Manner.

Charm of manner is made up usually
of gracious observances of small court
estes. Heredity is unrelenting, and
charm is great birthright, but when
these qualities are lacking attention
effort and, above all things, desire may
overcome tremendous barriers. Though
society may do without good heart
it will not dispense with that appear
ance of it which we call amiability of
manner. This amiability may not al
ways give that Elusive something
known as charm, but charm never ex-
lists when it Is absent. Simple fattery
is not pleasing, but the actual making
one do his best, and not alone thinking
he is doing it, may be. Unselfshness
is the root and spawn of all gracious
ness. One of the greatest secrets Of
charm is charitableness and scrupu-
lousness in imputing motives to those
who interfere with our even way. Wit
and eloquence fall fat when unkindly
leveled at the weak and defenseless,
concludes The Household.

DINNER MODES or TO-DAY.
The Arrangement OF the Table and
the Order of Service.

The Arrangement OF the Table and
the Order of Service.
The mode of today requires that ex-
treme and elegant simplicity be shown
in arranging and decorating the table.
The linen must be of the finest quality
and as white as the pure north snow.
Probably tras most difficult part Of ta-
BILE setting is the proper placing of any
goldware one may have. All gilded ar
ticles are properly limited to the serv-
ice of such things as fruit, salt, pepper,
olives and the like. But silver or silver
and pearl throughout are in better
form.
At table elegance requires the use of
cut glass. No substitute, where for
mality is entertained, is permissible.
Outlines the water in finger bowls is
slightly perfumed. This is permissible
and matter left to the taste Of the
one arranging the dinner. Still strict
table etiquette should not allow it,. At
any rate, the only perfume tolerable is
faint suggestive odor of altar Of
roses.
and they should be there always great
care must be taken in their arrange
ment They should decorate without
obstructing, brighten and not Cypress.
They must not be SO fragrant that their
odor could chance to offend. For this
reason tuberoses and like flowers are
excluded in table decoration.
Oysters may be served before the
soup, likewise small crabs in season,
but these alone are admissible before
the arrival of the soup. They form the
only course which may appear upon
the table when the dinner is announc-
ed.
AS to the soup, it is preferable to
serve some clear bouillon, as this
course, opening the meal, should be an
appetizing one, preparing for those
more substantial.
Next comes the fish course. Certain
kinds may be garnished, but the inva-
riable white potato, boiled, should be
served at this time, although certain
we'll known chefs err here in serving
them a la creme and in other ways
Then one or more entrees follow and
perhaps a relieve, after which roasts
and vegetables are in order, and after
this another entree or relieve, when the
game course is served.
In a less formal dinner the game
course may be omitted.
Here, with one more entree or relieve,
the dinner, properly speaking, ends.
1t is customary to open the dessert
courses with warm dish or pastry.
This is followed by the various jel-
lies and ices and at last by cake, fruit,
bonbons and nuts.
AS to coffee, it is now dictated that
this should be served to the guests in
the drawing rooms.
The foregoing are few items from a
resume in Table Talk of the art of din
ing well.
