servina Green Peas.

One of those inconsequent yet per
vasive questions which spring up
every summer turns, just now, on
the manner and time of serving green
peas. While one hostess noted for
her perfect dinners says they should
be a course by themselves. with a
rich sauce, Bearnafse for instance,
since they are luxurious enough when
at their best and are endowed with
sufficient individuality to be "the
whole thing; another quite as popu-
lar. says that she should as soon
think of serving boiled potatoes un-
attended as OF putting before her
guests peas in any role but that OF
accompaniment for broils or roasts.
So far as we have yet come in the
discussion you may suit yourself and
your family in the time of serving
them without fearing that you have
offended any rules of advanced gas,

GIGANTIC RENTS IN LONDON
Owner Asks $1,000 Each Annually for

He is indeed lucky man who owns

Some time ago one room near the
Royal Exchange let for between $10.-
900 and $4,000 year. while house
agent who advertised certain proper
ties In Throgmorton strest asked
$1,000 yearly rental for each OF seven
telephone boxes. For a suite of three
rooms on the mezzanine floor $4,000

dearest thoroughfare in the world
with regard to shops. Many shop
keepers between Charing Cross and
the old Lyceum theater pay between
$4,000 and $4,000 rental. exclusive

might be able to obtain a very small

Fancy Collars.

Embroidered and fancy collars rep
resent such multiplicity of style one
scarcely knows where to touch the
fingers while making a selection. The
smartest of them are made OF lace
embroidered or of Louis XVI. en-
broideries In soft linen. Then there
are deep lace collars embroidered
with small colored floral effects. In
black chenille and gold thread. which
brighten up a black taffeta bodice

these display three or more silver
tiny cord buttons on the mitered ends.

Amethysts Much Worn.

The amethyst is very beautiful
stone in itself. like the opal, but be-
cause of its small value has been
hitherto neglected. Now, however.
the fashion of wearing stones beau
tifully set and mounted artistlcally is
driving out the mere display of expen-
sive jewelry and bringing ornaments
within the reach OF narrow purses.
The peridot. the topaz, the amethyst
and the turquoise are all decorative.
and in the hands of clever jeweler
can be made effective and pretty.
