4 PRETTY EurcHEor FOR WHsHINGToNs BIRTHDAY

40 celebrate the birthday OF
George Washington a luncheon
y Q of twenty-five covers is a most
agreeable diversion. Large
entertainments of this kind en-
tail a great deal of work. and
the effect is not likely to be
more satisfactory. Twenty-Five
is an appropriate number of
guests because it was on the twenty-sec-
ond day of the month that the Father
of his Country was born.
The room In which the entertainment
IS given may be adorned with cherry
blossoms made of paper. In these days,
"nen every woman knows how to form
paper flowers, the decorations may be
Lasnloned at home in an afternoon. For
tne ornamentation of the table a tiny
cherry tree in full bloom may be placed
In handsome silver jardinere with a
border of tiny hatchets ranged around
It.
The table should be covered with a
handsome cloth of linen trimmed with
lace and laid over pale pink silk of sat

Donies and centerpiece should be either
white, or to harmonic with the cloth.
or of white embroidered with cherry
blossoms If preferred, they may be
embroidered with cherries The napkins
should be folded in the shape of cooked
mats, and the name cards at each plate
ought to be tied with red, white and
plue rlbon or adorned with little sprays
or cherry blossoms and knotted with
bits of pink ribon
1lny souvenir boxes Of candy may be
placed beside each plate. Photographic
reproductions Of Washington's portraits
gummed to the covers of the boxes are
pretty and appropriate. These pictures
may be bought for ten or fifteen cents
each from stationers who deal in pho
oographlc prints Of celebrated works of
art. Inc boxes look very dainty if COW
cred with pink silk or satin. If the pink
paper boxes which are bought at the
confectoners are not sufficiently ornate.

of their appearance
The table should be lighted with mink
wax candles placed in old fashioned
SILVER sticks covered by pink shades

The china for the table should he of
the old fashioned kind, with fat sugar
bowls, creaSl jugs and teapots. such
china as Martha Washington herself

PRETTY SPRING HATS.

Another pretty style for early spring
" ear is of Tuscan braid with masses OF
velvet foliage in silver-green and crushed
rose shades about the crown. and over
the closely-fitting back brim. Foliage in
white or pale green Is ornamenetd with
pearls, which look like SO many dew
drops hanging on the leaves The
stamens and pistils of many flowers are
likewise made of pearls. Indeed, pearls
are to be distinguishing features of the
season, the handsomest cabochons and
buckles being EcSde exclusively of them.
In come of the most extreme hats they
are festooned about the Drim; even the
laces are dotted with pearls Other ma
terials that are used for drapery are
likewise pearl-studded. OF ostrich
feathers there are none Wings. oui!Is
and aigrettes are to be used on travelling
hats and upon that useful article. the

fonce, bergere, claire, creme girls. are
some of the names descriptive of the color
OF the roses. A stunning walking hat,
from Suzanne Blum, has a brim Of
white straw with insertions Of heavy
cream lace. The crown is of white tulIe.

FISH COOKED FRENCH FASHION

Ihere are many dainty ways of cooking
fish besides frying, boiling and baking.
Some of these are quite as easy or
achievement and as inexpensive as the
foregoing modes and are moreover 30
per cent nicer. Fish with a cheese sauce
Is very good. Almost any white fish, sucn
as haddock, cod hatfish or halibut. can
be cooked in this way.
Here Is the recipe: Take from one
pound to two pounds Of fish, wash it
well and dry 1t carefully. Then place It
in clean enameled iron stewpan, add
three gills of milk salt, an onion stuck
with Glove and notched in order that
the Juice may escape, tiny blade Of
mace and a good sized sprig Of parsley.
Simmer gently until the fish Is cooked,
but do not allow the milk to reduce.
Dish it up hot and add from two ounces
to four ounces, according to taste, OF
grated cheddar, or Dutch cheese. Stir
until the cheese has thoroughly melted
pour it over and around the hsh and
serve at once.
Here Is a still simpler and quicker way
of cooking small piece of whitet1sh.
Wash and dry, place in a well creased
fireproof china dish, sprinkle thickly
With fried breadcrumbs, minced shallot
minced parsley and if possible, some
minced mushrooms, about two ounces.
Place a bit Of butter here and there and
pour over the whole half small bottle
of tomato catsup; sprinkle more bread
crumbs on top and bake in a moderate
oven for from twenty minutes to half an
hour, according to the size and kind.
For example, whitefish will take from
fifteen to twenty minutes to cook in this
way, soles about the same time, but cod,
halIbut or founder will need from TWEEN
ty-fve to thirty minutes, or perhaps lit
tie longer Our homely friend, the
founder is also delicious cooked in this
fashion, and it is worthy Of note that
the sauce may be much improved by the
port.

A whist party for Washington's birth
day may be carried out in much the
same manner as the luncheon, the rooms
being decorated with cherry blossoms
and the viands and souvenirs following
the cherry and Ratchet scheme.

prizes, The cake should be handsomely
iced and decorated with maraschino
cherries. Two large candles may stand
in the center to represent the month of
Washington's birth, the second in the
year, and twenty-five small candles

Waists.

Blouses, skirts, waists and separate
bodices are still with US and are likely
to remain for some time, owing to their
economy and also to their smartness
when made of soft, silky, transparent
materials.
The stiff, plain mans shirt is the least
graceful of all and Is really too trying
to the complexion Of most women.
A plain, full blouse is infinitely more
becoming and is quite as suitable for
"undress wear as the stiff, plain
starched shirt with it's high choker the
hideousness of which no cravit can
lessen. The only instance when a shirt
front is excusable is for riding, when a
mannish gear Is all right. But even
then the fit must be perfect and the ma

How to Woo SIumber
In the first place. no drugs or opiates
should ever be taken. They give no per-
manent relief, but only add to the bodily
dlstempers which induce loss Of sleep. A
tepid bath before retiring is often ef-
1ectual in securing a good nights rest
Late meals should be avoided, unless
fhey are habitual. Rest, and even sleep
are natural after aSfull meal. The siesta
after dinner is common in warm coun-
tries, and sleep is natural after meal.
II accustomed to eating a full supper or
dinner five or six hours before retiring
the eating OF an unusual meal immedi-
ately before bedtime is sure to provoke
disturbed dreams and unquiet rest, If
not absolute sleeplessness.
Anything that will fix the attention
helps sleep. The counting of numbers
backward and forward will sometimes in
duce somnolency. Counting imaginary
sheep jumping over an imaginary fence
has been found effective.
Rolling about the eyeballs or gazing
intently with closed eyes toward the root
OF the nose often Induces a state of the
body and mind which brings on slumber.
1t Is said when in deep thought, the mind
being especially active, the eyeballs turn
upward. When sleepless, try to turn
them down. The result will soon Ia
Inconsistencies. 1t requires an active eff
fort Of the will to keep the eyes In the

How to Dust PronerIx.

The proper method of busting furniture
has to be learned 1t does not come
naturally. People rarely begin with q
buster in each hand, which is absolutely
necessary to success. That in the left
nand is needed to prevent leaving finger
marks when steadying and lifting the
furniture. Each piece should be wiped
lightly from the top downward to remove
dust, and then, after the buster has
been shaken out of the window mot over
the carpet, it should be rubbed vigorous
ly to raise the polish. A stuffed cushion
should be brushed and then busted before
the wood is dealt with, or the dust will
fly out and settle on the wood. The legs
and spindles should be rubbed between
the two busters with both hands. as we
rub cold hands together to warm them
This is saving of time and insures all

IN THE SHOPS.

Children's hats are Of a similar shape
WIDE, rolling rims and rather high
crowns. Pretty hats Of this kind are
trimmed with masses of gay field flowers
of all kinds and colors, making a pretty,
gay medley. With the flowers ribbons
are used-a soft cerise red on one and
q blue on another.
Rut prettier than these for the small
girl is another hat which is simple and
charming This is of a fancy braid in
blue braid of satin straw running around
1t. This hat is trimmed with wide rib
bon-white plaided with pale blue. There
Is big bow Of this, big, falling, loose
bow, in the front, and the ends are car

tened near the back with big button
set with pearls. 1t is pleasing hat
