The L.,es. Cushions.

New cushions are intended TO rep
resent big composite blossoms. A
red one is made of dark red linen
aud silk, with little green. In the
center there is cluster OF poppies
worked upon the plain crash. The
edge of this center square or top of
the cushion is cut into tabs. which
give something the appearance of
petals, and these are bound with
green. Around the sides of the
cushion, coming out from below
these petals, are puffs of red silk,
with loops of green ribbon here and
there. Another cushion has the CEN
ter of a violet linen worked solid
" with violets in different shades.
The square lined top is finished
around the edge in the same way,
and below putiings of the violet silk
with dark green ribbons appear.

Portrait Dinner Service.

First empire styles in china are
being brought up to date in an in
teresting way on modern dinner ta-
bles. The fancy for Sevres porce-
lain services ornamented with por-
traits has been revived from the
Napoleonic epoch. But the fashion
has been modernized and not mere
ly resuscitated. 1t is not authentic
porcelain sets of the first empire
period which are being sought after
so much as the original productions
of the present day, lately turned out
by the Sevrcs factory, in which the
style in question is renovated. These
modern portrait services Of dining
table china are ornamented with
likenesses of living persons, we'll
known women being usually chosen
in preference to men. One of the
most curious of these new dinner
services is for twelve covers and has
portrait of different feminine
celebrity of the Partisan stage on
each plate and dish.

>. Peep Into the Dressing Room Of the
Up to Date Woman.

An up to date woman's dressing
room ia very paradise. In one
corner is her bath. deep marble az
fair flush with the ground and COW
cred when not in use with chin
chilla rug. In the other corner
stands her dressing table Of plain
white lacquered wood, with its crowd
of bottles, scents, hairbrushes and
jars. The mirror is three sided, so
that perfect view Of the lady's
coiffure may be obtained. But it is
in the order of the cupboards
around that we see true art. One
door opens up vista Of shelS Is, on
which stand all the boots and shoes,
beginning with the satin and silk
toys and ending with the dapper
little riding boots. On one big shelf
repose the hats, each on its own
peg. making the place like some
fair garden of flowers. On raised
shelves are placed the fans, spread
out SO that at one glance they can
be recognized and chosen. The
shelves for linen are lined with
white satin, and each dainty article
is tied with its own pretty pale rib
bon. The dresses that hang in their
own wardrobe are each incased in g
sheath of soft white holland, while
the furs are laid reyerently in a
cedar chest. The fair mistress of
this domain has her private tele-
phone at her elbow, her masseuse
beside her and her manicure at her
fingers ends.

Wrona Use o. Soda.

Common soda is all right in dts
place and indispensable in the kitch-

purposes, but it was never intended
for medicine. and people who use
it as such will some day regret it.
We refer to- the common use of
coda to relieve heartburn or sour
stomach, a habit which thousands
of people practice almost daily and
one which is fraught with danger.
Moreover, the soda only gives tenn
porary relief. and in the end the

Ancient Games, Some of Them Played
by Little Savages.

The little sayages Of years gone
by were much more end of and de-
voted TO games and sports than we
ere nowadays. Perhaps that was
because they hadn't as much 10 do
as the people of modern times The
rougher the game was the more they
liked it.
The ancient Australians most
popular sport was wild game call
ed Marn Crook. 1t vas very much
like football, only, if possible, rough
er. They had ball made of skins.
There were no goals, and the object
OF the game was for each side to
keep the ball in its possession, and
this often resulted in a small battle,
for as many as liked could play, an
even number being on each side.
Then these same people used a
curious little toy called @weet," !"
and throwing the wee weet" was
one of their favorite pastimes. This
resembles our putting the shot, :"
only the weet was small and light
and could be thrown to an incredi-
Bile distance.
The inhabitants of Tonga, also
savages, had game which the boys
and girls of Scotland play today.
One person would hold some small
article behind his back, and another
would try to guess which hand it
was in. The Scotch have written
this verse TO it:
Nievie, Nievfe. Nick Mack;
Which hand win ye TAXI
Be ye RIGHT or be ye wrang
I'm beguile ye IL can
If a person were clever enough to
change the article from hand to
hand. he kept it, but if his opponent
guessed rightly it was forfeited.

Mr.. GL0ETZMER'S RECITAL.
Musical Works of Max Roger Brilliantly
Interpreted.

The Iniversalist Church. corner Thir-
teenth and l. Streets, was filled last night
with a dsiinctively musical audience.
when the works of Max Regcr the Ba-
yarian composer. we're interpreted by Mr..
Anton Gloetzner. assisted by a corps OF
wei known local musicians.
Roger is a comparatively young com
poser who is fast coming to the front and
whose compositions are beginning to find
a conspicuous place on the programmes of
prominent artists. He Is not yet thirty
years of age. but has contributed many
classics to the worlds musical literature.
The interpreting musicians last night
are all closely identified with local af-
fairs. Mr.. Gloetzner is one of the best
known and most accomplished active mu-
sicians in Washington, and his rendition
OF the piano scores was thoroughly artis-
tic and instructive. Mr.. Gloetzner plays
with keen musical intelligence.
The assisting artists included Mr.. An
ton kaspar yiolinist; Miss Minna Helm
richs. violinist: Miss Wilma Willenbuch-
er. soprano; Mrs. William T. Reed, con-
tralto: Miss Mary |. Kelly. pianist. and
Mr.. Joseph Finckel. violinist. Mr.. Gloetz-
ner is to be congratulated in having been
able TO secure so much valuable talent in
his recital. which undoubtedly will do
much to popularize Rogers works.

Those who took part in the subsequent
discussion were Prof W ] McGee. DR..
W. H. Holmes. Dr. George NJ. Kober. Miss
Alice C. Fletcher. and DR.. J. W. Fewkes
The general sentiment seemed to be one
of encouragement toward the growth and
spread of such organizations in America.
Hon. A. K. Spofford read an entertain
ing and instructive paper on "Ceremo-
malls. National. International. and So
cial." He told of the ceremonies and
methods of procedure which will be fol-
lowed at the coronation of King Edward

Mr.. Spofford treated the subject Of cere-
monies and titles from historical and
philosophical standpoint. He ridicuied
those who go to the venders of ready
made titles to buy empty honOrs, and
more especially those American tuft-
hunters who seek to prove their descent
from the haute noblesse of Europe and
the barons OF the Norman Conquest.
