Consul appeared-a chimpanzee-a
monkey dressed in all the ceremonious
garb of a man of fashion. He received
his guests with quite the manner of
man of the world, but it was a sicken-
ing sight to see gnsat artists and the
cream of society pretending to be
amused at the antics of a monkey.
What are we coming to?
The costumes worn at the chimpanzee
reception, however, were of interest.
A recherche bolero of broadtail with
long stole ends and a cozy rolling col
lar was one of the new styles in fur
noticed Many smartly dressed women
moving in the very best circles of Pa
risian society cannot afford the costly
sables and furs, and they do not at
tempt to vie with their more richly en-
dowed friends. 1t is considered better
taste to content oneself with a small
quantity, though the quality must be
above reproach. A velvet or taffeta
collar edged with a good fur will give
distinction and the wintry touch which
is so becoming to cloth gown.
Hats of plated tulle and lace are the
smart headgear to wear to matinees
and restaurant suppers. These dainty
chapeaux have bands of silver or golll
galloon outlining the brim crown.

logne. If the setting is open it must be
brushed from the back. Then lay the
articles in a heap of lockwood sawdust
which has been slightly heated before
hand and leave them for some thirty
minutes.
Gold chains may be washed in soap
suds, drying them on a soft towel by
pulling the chain backward and for
ward, but care must be taken to pull it
the right way of the curb or link. These
may also be placed in sawdust the
particles of which can be easily blown
away afterward. The least dampness
between the links is very likely to
cause them to wear more rapidly.

silver there are nearly a thousand
forks of different sizes. 300 knives and
700 spoons. besides a unique collection
of odd plate, including a huge plateau

The distribution of the expenses of
running the White House between the
president and treasury is a complicated

most of his servants, but china, house

stables are maintained by the treasury.

This Christmas will be the first sure

have had in the White House. The
tragedy at Buffalo darkened the first

work of reconstruction interfered with
the pleasure of the occasion. But this
Christmas the executive family, all of
whom so we'll understand the meaning
of a "jolly good time" will make mer-
ry right royalty amid their new and
charming surroundings. To Mrs. Roose-
velt's exquisite taste and judgment is
due in a great measure much of the in
terror beauty of the new White House
She herself supervised the drawing of

Christmas Novelties.

In the shops as Christmas novelties
are the daintiest little wreaths and
sprays of flowers made of ribbon to be
worn in the hair. A pretty bandeau
of daisies, although hardly true to ma
ture, is carried out in light blue ribbon
with yellow centers. These flowers are
very simple to make, and either in rib
bon or chiffon are dainty and becoming
little Christmas presents.
Chiffon rosebuds are not a bit more
difficult to make than paper ones. Cut
the chiffon into narrow strips, the
width depending upon the size of the
rosebud desired Fold the strip in
half lengthwise and roll over and over
to give the effect of a folded blossom.
Then fasten carefully at the base.
Mingled with some artificial foliage. the
effect is very realistic.
