Mauve and pink furniture is one os
the latest artistic fancies-mRuVs
wood, pink, satin, brocade and cur
tains shot with both coJors and figured
with flowers.
Pretty nut bowls of wood, decorated
with burnt woodwork and resting on
three short supports. are not only de-
sirable but seem particularly adapted
to the use intended.
One of the prettiest plants for home
decoration shown by the florists is =
begonia with delicate pale pink blooms
that intermingle with the dark-gres1
leaves in a way that delights theeye.

with rope-coiled tops and jeweled
evening combs that cost small for

Superstitions concerning the opal
have evidently died a natural death, IL

brooches, rings, hatpins and stickpina
and are much sought.
It is particularly noticeable in the
china shops that the old-fashioneo
white china with gilt is becoming pop

of the old-fashioned "tea sets" Of our

Something About a Historic English
Race Course.


The Goodwood race course is quite
unique. 1t is long way from a sta
ton and is not near any town, says
the London Taller. 1t is on a hill the
top of which is shaped like a horse
shoe, the space between the two horns
being represented by deep ravine.
The course runs round the horseshoe,
the start being at the end of one
horn and the finish at the end of the
other. The result of this is that the
equestrians who on other courses con-
trive to see both start and finish by
the simple process Of riding across
while the race is In progress cannot

which they will see and remain there

easy to follow with glasses.

this course since the days of William

hunt as in existence. In $780, howev-
er, the then Duke of Richmond made
new course, which is practically the
present one. In 1901 the course was
completed, and in order to celebrate
this a regular meeting was got up by
the duke with the assistance of the
hunt and some officers of the Sussex
militia and yeomanry, and prizes to the
value of about $1,000 were put up.

morning papers having given rise to
the conversation. He said that the

recommendations that the postmaster
was moved to wonder that the young
fellow did not go into mercantile life.
Pressed for a reason, he finally con-
fessed that he was giving up better

No Wonder This Child's Drain Il All

The half dozen blocks about Dupont
circle include the homes Of as many
scientists of national reputation. These
gentlemen of course know each other
and meet frequently. Not long ago one
of their neighbors began to wonder
whether such intimate intercourse
among scientists was a good thing,
his cogitation having had its rise in the
following incident:
His little daughter has Just reached
the age when she asks 200 questions
day. About a month ago her father
spoke Of some author as lacking the
proper Temperament for writing on
history. That word temperament
apparently took root in the youngsters
mind. What was temperament? She
asked that question twice an hour for
an entire week.
Finally her father gave her a note to
Professor - and sent her off to find
out. That scientist answered the QUE
ry as follows: Temperament is an in
dividual tendency to the rise of a GER
tain mental state" Father and daugh-
ter wrestled with that little while and
then applied to second member of
the scientific group for help. No. 2
called temperament IAN ensemble of
physical and mental traits arising from
fundamental constitutional differences
in individuals" This put the little
girls father completely at sea. So No.
was tried. His judgment was that
temperament is the psychic resultant
Of the whole organic life Of the indi-
vidual." By this time hope was aban-
doned But when No. 4 volunteered to
make it clear the family spirits re-
vived Temperament is general dis
position of the mind" he wrote, 'the
distinctions of which depend on the
dominance Of one or the other of the
physiological systems"
And now the family dictionary is
