DAINTlNESS IN SERVING:

| tanning.
| At all times, but pre-eminently in
summer, the cultured woman, be she
wealthy or only of moderate means,
seeks to make daintiness the keynote
of the home, for in the art of living
according to strictly modern ideals
daintiness counts for more than rich
ness and over-elaboration.
! Show for shows sake has no place
In summer serving, but radiant fresh
ness should be the charm that charac-
terizes the table, from the flowers to
the salt cellars.
If you have beautifully polished
table use a cloth at dinner only. At
or linen and lace mats are placed un-
der the plates and platters to keep from
soaring the table and to prevent the
noise they would otherwise make in
being moved about, for it is only noise.

rubber tips put on the chair legs to
deaden the horrid clatter they made on
the bare floors, and good idea it is,
too.
The Turks have a fashion of putting
a drop Of altar Of rose on the saucer

who was received at court there, and
she said she was mystified to tell where
the elusive sweetness came from.
We imagine We should not care for
altar so near our coffee, the aroma of
the Mocha being good enough for us
and yet one dainty server puts rose
geranium leaf on top Of each glass Of
her crab-apple jelly before putting on
the paper cover, and says it imparts a
most delicate favoring while the re.
cipes for conserving rose leaves will
be much utilized this season.

plain ice cream is delicious desert

Among the new things for dainty
serving are the tireproof ramakins, a
little round dish with handle There
are also other individual dishes, round
futed ones in which desserts are
cooked and served, custards, char
lottes. and other good things.
A silver or plated dish, or, rather,
holder for a white enamel baking pan
to fit in is most useful table access

and all sorts of baked dishes are
brought to table in these, very much
improved in appearance.

Collecting eggs for Matching often
may mean more extra labor, but it
pays winter and summer. During
warm weather We will suppose six or
eight hens are using the same nest.
The first egg laid will be under the
various hens for hours, possibly all
day, and must necessarily be raised to
required heat for terminating. This
certainly cannot be good for the eggs
to be saved for Matching.

A biography OF Marshal Canrobert
has been published recently in Paris.
Not the least interesting part of the
work is that which refers to the extra
Z ordinary popular demonstrations that
marked the state visit Of the late
Queen Victoria to the French capital.
When the English sovereign, with her
consort and heir, went to the Invalldes
to look upon the tomb Of Napoleon the
scene was one which seems to have
greatly impressed the Marshal, who
thus describes it:
Everybody was profoundly moved.
Not word was spoken. Each person
stood gazing at the tomb and was lost
In thought. Prince Albert was in front
of me in the red uniform of a field
marshal; at his side stood the Queen,
and standing beside her was the Prince
of Wales, dressed in his Highland CO.'S
tune, with his velvet coat, his purse
of fur, and the kilt; at the right was
Princess Mathilde, whose features, so
pure, standing out in the light of
torches, recalled too vividly the fea.
lures of her uncle. After q moments
pause OF reflection, of absolute silence,
the Queen, with an expression on her
face Of severity, calmness and medita-
tlon, turned to the Prince Of Wales,
and, placing her hands on his shoulder,
said: 60 down on your knees before
the tomb of the great Napoleon 1t
was fine exhibition of keen political
tact, as well as OF fine human feeling
ON the part of the Queen"
Shall Men Choose Women's Clothes?
1t is often said that women dress to
please each other, but men dress to
please themselves. On this point q
writer in the Ladiess Pictorial says:
Now and then one sees a woman
whose clothes are absolutely character
istic of her, and bear the impress OF
having been carefully thought out by
their wearer These are those who
never wear garments fashioned like
others; but the majority of women do
not desire, nor, indeed would it be-
come them, to be individualistic in
their attire. They like to be sin the
fashion" And the question is are they,
or are men, best suited to making what
is understood by In mode? On the
whole, one inclines to the opinion that
men are really the best judges of what
suits the female form divine; and, on
the other hand, it would seem as if
woman's taste in mems clothing is far
more reliable than mans. She is quick
to detect n mistake in the choice of a
tie, to note the angle of hat, the set
of coat, the pattern of tweed, the
shape of a collar, and she never falls
into the error of urging her men folk
to adopt any atrocious thing merely
because they are described MS "vcry
fashionable" The man whom a woman
considers we'll dressed is well fitted,
absolutely well groomed and quite un-
obtrusive alike in the matter of hats,
waistcoats, ties or patterns, and this
looks as if each sex were meant to
select the others clothers. Women are
ready enough to admit mems good
taste and cleverness in this direction,
but the other sex disclaim with horror
the ability of their womenlind to ex-
ercise any judgment with regard to
their wardrobes, despite the fact that

had suddenly rushed down the south
western slope Of the mountain and fol-
lowing the course of the Riverre
season of the year, had overwhelmed
everything which obstructed its ire
mendous rush to the sea.
Estates and buildings were covered by
the fiery wave, which appeared to rise
to a height of some 20 feet over an area
of nearly a quarter of a mile. When the
torrent had poured itself into the sea it
was found that the Guerin sugar fac
tory, situated on the beach near the
mouth of the Rivere Blanche, some five
miles distant from the mountain and
two from st. Pierre was entirely en-
bedded in lava, the tall chimney alone
being visible. The burning mass of Ii
quid had taken only three minutes from
the time it was first perceived to reach
the sea, five miles away. Then a re-
markable phenomenon occurred. The sea
receded all along the western coast for
a distance of about a hundred yards
and returned with gentle strength, COW
ering up the whole of the sea front of
st. Pierre and reaching the first houses
on the Place Bertin. This created a gen
eral panic, and people ran terror strick-
en- toward the hills. Though the sea re-
tired again, without any great damage
being done ashore or afloat the panic
continued. intensified by the detonation
which broke from the mountain at short
and irregular intervals, accompanied
by dense emissions of smoke and lurid
flashes of flame. This was awful in day
light, but when darkness fell it was
more terrible still and with manifesto

place that could be found in the coal

directly connected with the miners
strike were National President Mitchell

dead calm prevails everywhere.

it is stated that the movement Of soft
coal through that city in the bituminous
regions Of West Virginia and Pennsyl-
vania is unprecedented, Mr.. Mitchell
said he felt that if such was the case
he would know it. Mr. Mitchell would
not say what action he would take if
the movement of soft coal to the an

is believed an effort will be made to
prevent the shipments. He has received

Il believe said one member of the

pie Will put up their $1,000 all right,

London, May 2S-Peace in South
Africa is regarded as assured, but an

whether a statement on the situation
will be issued tonight after the cabinet
meeting, or whether it viii lse reserved
for the meeting OF the house of COM
mons on Monday. 1t seems, however, at
the best, that only the basis of the peace
terms will be before the ministers, and
that if they are accepted the discussion
of the details may still occupy some
time, during which presumably an
