Ask For What Yon Want.
A patroness of one series of the
dances which the younger society sets
hold during the winter, was about to
dress for dinner the other evening, when
a maid entered and said that some one
wished to see her. This patroneSS has
had the management Of this particular
series of dances pretty much in charge
for several years.
You go down and see what he
wants, said the patroness to her
daughter. 4 simply can't go now
After a quarter of an hour, the daugh-
ter came back with this story:
Did you ever hear of such thing
in your life2 He wants to get into The
-s. He says that he is a stranger
here and wants to meet some Of the
young people. and he thought that at
tending the -s would be a nice way
to do it. He read in the paper that Mrs
Blank was at the head Of them, and ne
thought he would come right to her
about it. He spoke Of some people, but
they're nobody we know
The patrOness sent down word that 1t
would be impossible to issue any more
invitations for that nights dance, and
if the young man desired to join the
series he would have to be regularly in
troness.

was such a very charming young man.

and painful attacks on the young wo-
mans ankles.
In frenzy of fright she uttered a
shrek and flung herself headlong from
the sleigh.
Her cutlery scared the horse and it ran
away. As Perkins tugged vainly at the
reins the terrifying sound came again
from under the seat with a singing
onset at his legs.
He jumped out of the cutter and went
back to find the girl.
Two miles away a sleighing party met
the runaway horse and what was left Of
the cutter They led It back along the
road until they came across Perkins and
the girl They sat side by side on
the snowdrift. The young woman nurs-
ing a sprained ankle, suffered from her
jump and a series of decorations inflicted
in that mysterious attack
Everybody together looked under the
cutter seat. There was a setting hen.
She had made her nest in the sleigh, and,
frightened as 1t flew along the road, had
attacked the man and woman The eggs
were broken.

As a matter of course, womankind

Of the veil
1t is not only a becoming addition, but

You'll agree when you see a fair one

CELERY SALAD.
Use only the white stalks of the celery,
using two heads. Cut into inch lengths
and shred or cut into fine strips with a
sharp knife. To each cupful of celery
allow half a cupful of mayonnaise dress
ing. Mix: line a salad bowl with crisp
lettuce leaves. put in the salad and gar
nish with slices of hard boiled eggs.
plain French dressing may be used in
stead of mayOnna1se. In this case do
not use the eggs. The delivate celery
leaves may be used as a garnish instead
of the lettuce. Arrange the celery in
mound on a fiat dish with border of
leaves.
The celery must be seasoned with salt
and white pepper before mixing with the
dressing. The prepared salad dressing
may be used with this salad, but be sure
and have the celery crisp.
FRENCH DRESSING.
The practiced diner prefers to follow the
Italian proyerb on salad making and uses
plenty of oil and salt but is sparing OF
the vinegar. He uses in proportion three
or four tablespoonfuls of salad oil, half
teaspoonful of salt, quarter of a teaspoon
of white pepper or half the quantity of
cayenne and one tablespoonful of tarragon
or plain vinegar or. lemon juice Those
unaccustomed to the flavor Of oil or less
fond of use two of oil and one
of vinegar. This makes a more piQuant
dressing.

The ssSmiIe" Doctor.

There Is in London at the present
time an individual who can scarcely be
described otherwise than as a smile
doctor. For a small fee he win trans
form the most uncOmely laugh or smile
into a dainty and elegant playfulness
first.
AS many know, it is no easy matter
to control the gambols of the lips and
mouth, and small wonder. then, that the
services Of the smile doctor are great
~ in demand.
On the occasion of every visit this
gentleman puts his subject through GER
tain lip and mouth exercises which are
of his own invention, and by constant
practice the desired pretty smile is OBJ
tanned in a few weeks. Actresses and
music hall artistes largely patronize the
smiling tutor, and rumOr has it that the
individual in question is, in this way,
fast amassing wealth.

MT. CIeyeIand's Propositicn.

The Sage of Princeton, weighing near ly, if not quite, 300 pounds, presents two propositions that command public approval among all classes of men in all parties. He asks that the Presidential term be extended to six years, the Pres ident to be ineligible to reelection, and, secondly, that Presidents be elected directly by popular vote. These propo- sitions, together with the election of Senators by popular vote, or at least as the States may severally prefer, are plainly growing in popular favor; and it would not be strange 1T constitutional propositions covering all three changes were not soon submitted to the States.
 The electoral idiocy is especially ob- noxious and dangerous. It has twice defeated the choice of the people, and it stands ready to do likewise in any close election. It is cumbersome, un- necessary in any respect, and altogether indefensible. No one pretends to de- fend it. It has been sidetracked in good part, but enough of it remains to make it dangerous to the Republic.
 No one objects to a heightened Presi- dential term, especially if President be deprived of chance to scheme for the succession. And no one supports the present system of electing Senators except some of the Senators themselves who have an exalted idea of their own dignity. Roman Senatorial dignity does not fit this country, and after while American Senators will tire of opposi- tion to public sentiment.

The English tourists demanded it, and in due course of time there appeared a mound on the bluff. marked with a plain granite shaft that bore the name of the melancholy Dane. The relic hunters shipped it to pieces in one brief season. The hotelkeepers provided an- other, and it went the same~way. When last I s,.ood at Hamlets grave I beheld 1t a mighty heap of stones and slag, several carloads. My friend. one of the solid citi- ems of the town, nodded knowingly at my look of amazement.
 'We caught up with them al last" he said. We just have enough carted out from the glass works every year to fill up the holes they made the season before; and let them go ahead. Want to go and look at Orlhelia's spring?"
