SEATING GUESTS AT DINNER.

Punctuality is the law of dinner parties.
The guests should arrive promptly, and
as soon as the last guest comes dinner
is served.
In the hall or dressing room eacn gen.
tleman receives a card from the servant
with the name Of the lady whom he is
expected to take in and on reaching the
drawing room, he seeks her and ac
quaints her with the fact.
When dinner is announced the host
leads the way to the dining room with
the eldest lady or the special guest to
whom the dinner is given, the guests
follow two by two, and the hostess comes
last with the gentleman whom she wishes
to honor.
Places at the table are found with as
little ceremony as possible, the guests
being guided by the menu cards or by
word from their hostess.
The seating of guests has given the
hostess anxious thought.

Stuffed Tripe.

Take a piece of the honeycOmb tripe,
cut in long narrow shape, about twice
as long as wide, cook it in boiling salt
ed water until very tender. Make a
stufing with bread crumbs, melted but
ter and sweet herbs, and favor with
onion and lemon juice. Moisten it with
water or oyster liquor if you happen to
have it. Spread it over the tripe, then
roll into a buttered baking pan and
cook it in a hot oven, about an hour,
basting frequently with butter and wa
ter. Serve it hot with a hot potato
salad, or it may be sliced cold for a
supper dish The stuffing may be made
partly of sausage meat if preferred. The
tripe may be either fresh or picked, but
it should always be boiled until tender
for it requires long cooking to make i

THE CHARMS OF A NEGLIGEE.

The possession of a negligee is some
thing that should be coveted by every
woman. Few there be who do not own
a loose robe of some sort, if no more
than the oId-fashioned wrapper, but this
is not enough, for there should be the
carefully planned, highly artistic negli-
gee; and there may well be two or three.
The negligee, besides being so very be-

such a consideration as this-is really
an economical investment. 1t saves ones

DID as It may seem, modern
furniture designers seem
able to find nothing more
satisfactory than the classic
designs Of the ancients, the
comfortable patterns of the
Middle Ages, or the light
and graceful models peculiar
to the golden age of France.
No up-to-date furniture is more unique
in outline than the settle, which is
one of the oldest forms of English chair
A century ard a half ago there was no
home too humble and none too luxurious
TO dispense with it's presence.
Kings once sat upon settles. Green in
his History of the English People"
speaks of the high settle of the king
or earldom in the midst of the mead
benches ranged about the walls These
settles were seats made longer than a
chair in order that in conferences they
might accommodate more than one per-
son. Those of the mobiles were richly
carved aud, as furniture was rare in
the good old days, they often were put to
use as seats, beds, and chests for valua
bles. The old-fashioned settles of oak
were so durable that they were handed
down from generation to generation in
almost perfect condition, for when skill
full craftsmen were rare their cost was
something considerab BILE. In noble families
crests or coats of arms were generally
carved upon the backs of the settles.
Those pieces which consisted of COM
bined chest and seat were called box
settles. In the chilly medieval castle
halls the settles with their high, straight
backs and sides. reared substantial bar.

winter winds Waxed high and bleak pre-
served the lord of the manor from en-
barrassing attacks of sneezing, which
must have racked with undignified VIC
lence the mighty frames of his less well
protected retainers. The combination OF
seat, bed and chest was doubtless also
satisfactory to his lordship in those unre-
liable days when the only warrant to the
safety Of ones property was found in the
ability to hold it down with a stalwart
frame and a good, stout sword. During
the summer these settles were ranged
about the oak paneled or tapcstred walls
but in the winter they were pushed up TO
the fire and hung with soft draperies or
overlaid with warm furs
Modern settles of the new art school
follow in most details the style Of the
old fashioned sort. One of the haads0m-
est pieces of furniture in the homo OF the
queen of England at Sandringham is
carved settle presented to her recently by
the Alexandra Technical school, of which
she is a patrOness. The shaped sides
are covered with raised designs in GRIT

flowers. The royal arms are inconspicu-

Coffee and Chatter.

A "Kaffee-Klatch." or, being inter-
preted, Coffee and Clatter,'' is a varia-
ton of the afternoon tea. Being of
German origin, with the coffee should be
served the various kinds of cake and
bread peculiar to that people-zweiback,
pretzels, sandwiches made from brown
bread with caraway seeds, and the small
cakes which the German bakers have in
great variety. The coffee should be Of

1t was in Venice, however. that ladies
began TO make general use of fans
These fans were made of lace and gold

BalZac tells us of fan which the city

which is said to have been the most
beautiful fan ever known to the historian
of beautiful fans.
Charlotte Corday had fan in one hand
when she killed Marat.
1t was during the first empire that fans
became small and were made to initiate
ancient models by painting them with
little figures.
The custom of writing on fans comes
from Japans, where fans are used as
notebooks.

Dressing on Small Allowance.

1t is difficult to dress we'll on a small
allowance, and there is a terrible tempta-
ton to fritter away ones money in the
passing fadS of the hour. These fallals,
which look SO attractive when seen
through a glass window, usurp much o.
girls allowance, and consequently de-
bar her from buying really good frock,
which is, after all, the truest economy.
1t is mistake also for young girl to
ape her well to do married acquaintance
by having their eXtrayagant garments
copied in imitation.
Laces you may indulge in to advantage.

nowadays at quite moderate prices.

there unless. indeed, YOU buy with pur-

they will ruin it.
The dress of today is extremely per
picking, and the woman who wishes to
pass as being even moderately well dress
ed must give much care to the spending
Of her money Every detail must be
closely studied. Those who have not the
means to patronize the superior work
Of the great artists in dress must learn

is useful for halls, sitting rooms and
porches 1t may he made a comfortable
Iounging place by the addition of soft
cushions for the head and back. The
typical settle never has permanent cush-
ions, but is modified by the addition of
removable ones.
Wicker settles are expensive, but they
make handsome and useful furnishings.
Of course they cannot be initiated at
home, and are therefore possible only to
the opulent. They are to be purchased
in self-colored wicker, in black or in
green. Handsome cushions are an i'm
perative part of their proper fitting.
In some old-fashioned country kitch-
ems are still found the rougn settles, with
swinging backs, that may be turned over
on the top of the seat to make a table
Such an arrangement is most convenient
for jewellers in small apartments, who
have sometimes need of an extra table

or whose dining room is of minute pro-
portions. These swinging affairs may be
ordered at any cabinetmaker's shop, and
can be built of wood as handsome as may
be desired.
The simplicity of the settle has caused
it's merits to be overlooked. 1t makes
slightly and comfortable piece of furni-
ture for the porch, and as any man who
understands the use of carpenters tools
can put a simple one together, the ordi-

durable cushions add to their attractive

In the hall the high-backed settle may
be furnished with handsome brass hooks

well as hall seat.
