others even more stylish show only
tailor stitching and a little turnover

Faced cloth. as the title would in
cicate, is differently tinted at the two
sides, and the gowns fashioned in such
textures are made in a way to show
both. Orchid violet-a new and deli
cate shade-with the underside in
mushroom white. is the color scheme
of one charming gown in French
cloth. A novel shoulder cape displays
the two sides of the cloth, the panels
of the narrowly gored skirt turning
back at the bottom for the same pur-
pose. Silk and chenille passementeries
and a violet silk braid are effective
trimmings with this highly decorative
treatment.
For first spring wear nothing more
effective or suitable could be found
than any of these textures. But if

are decidedly springlike, and for quite

fashion was a fork. aided by a piece
of bread. If the knife is steel, don't
touch it to fish. The King of England
takes his fish with two forks. All
vegetables are eaten with a fork. and
asparagus with knife and fork, al
though it may be taken up with the
fingers, if one prefers to do so. A
safe rule at table, however, is never to
touch any bit of food with the fingers,
olives and hors d'oeuvres generally
excepted.
All pies are eaten with a. fork only
and also most buildings, except GUS
tards, which require a spoon. Cheese
is eaten with a fork. Peaches and
pears are peeled, cut in half, then
broken by the fork, and thus eaten.
An orange may be cut in half and
eaten with a spoon.
Ice cream is eaten with a fork in
America, in England a spoon is used
With all Difference to English y Gus
toms, very safe rule is, eat nothing
with spoon that can be taken with
a fork.
A hostess does not press a guest to
eat more, nor assure her that there
is an abundant supply; it were invid-
ious for her to doubt it. Where con-
siderations of health do not forbid it,
1t is courteous to partake a little of
every course.
No guest passes a plate, or offers to
serve anything unless requested to do
so.
To detect oneself in a solecism is,
as a rule, as notifying thing as can
happen. Under such circumstances,
men and women behave very different
ly, and so betray themselves, in the
sequel more than they do in the act.
A young woman with an undue
amount of country-girl ignorance and
lack of experience was invited to
luncheon at fashionable house.
Bouillon was served in cups. The girl
thought it was tea and asked the maid
for sugar. Before she put it into the
bouillon, the hostess, by whose elbow
the young woman was sitting, said:
That, my dear, is bouillon."
Yes, 1 know retorted the guest,
but 1 always take sugar in mine"
AS a matter Of fact, she had never
taken bouillon in any way, and had
not the remotest idea what it was;
and she made her mistake all the more
glaring by not following the plan
which indicates breeding-simplicity
Abraham Lincoln had an experience
not entirely dissimilar to that of the
young woman in question. At a dinner
party at which he was present there
was a saddle of mutton. When the
butler passed a glass of jelly Lincoln

scarlet fuchias. A draped toque OF

~ scattered over IL were embroideries
of peacock feathers in natural blues
and green's. The slender head of the
bird itself ornamented the front of
this headpiece.
A swagger kfnk with a cloth gown,
that anybody might copy to their
spring advantage, was a scarlet pique
vest. This was made exactly as
mans waistcoat is made. with the
exception of the close fit, and when
the little black Jacket was buttoned
over it the effect was gay. Fronts
and entire waistcoats of washable
Vestings are said to be quite the thing
for the moment across the water
though they are confined to gowns
for practical wear.
Belts, growing every day wider and
every daY more decided as to contrast
and elaborateness, begay the other
sorts, dressy gowns of yelling, crepe
and cloth. For example a creation in
bride gray cloth. a shade scarcely
nued, is girdled with scarlet crepe.
A black cloth costume has a peacock

quired for the still wintry weather.
So, when these muffiings are dropped
the toilettes are made up without in
terlinings and in the lightest way-it
is easy to see how they may dc excel
lent spring service.
First and still triumphant in the list
of colors is brown, which is shown in
more charming shades than ever. In
the tweeds, homespuns and men s
suitings, the brown mixtures are effec-
tive, but reddish tint in solid cloth
or crepe is the latest fancy for this
fashionable color.
Brown kid, embroidered with white,
brown and orange, relieves an ele-
CANT costume in pale brown cloth. To
the hip yoke of the skirt, which has
a beetle dip at the back, the shaped
bottom is attached with narrow hori-
zontal tucks, forming. as it were, a
deep flounce. The jacket is in blouse
shape, with the TAIL cuffs and revers
of the embroidered kid. The shoulders
run down into an odd triple cape, end
ing short of the front, and the full
sleeves are in puff shape.
Everything is done to exaggerate
the length of the shoulders of both
gowns and wraps. So much is the
dropping epaule admired that even
the lace and chiffon pelerines are often
alone designed to create this effect.

self tolerably in conversation, but If
not properly au fat with les con-
venances, she is betrayed by her man
ner at table.
There is a correct way of doing
everything, no matter how trivial, even
TO helping ones self to salt or butter.
The rows of knives and forks on
each side of the plate are thing of
the past, together with oddly-shaped
knives and forks; many smart host
esses do not even use special fork
for oysters. Only the knife and fork
are changed for fresh ones with each
course. They are placed exactly one
inch from the edge of the table.
The salt cellars, one at each corner,
are also placed very near the edge of
the table. In helping to salt, take
some on the side of the plate; don't
put it on the tablecloth; don't sprinkle
it over the viands, but take a little
as needed. 1t is considered a refiec-
ton on the cook to make too lavish
use of condiments. The F'renchman
will tell you that Americans do their
cooking at table-such an elaborate
ceremony do they make of sailing and
peppering every bit of food.
Bread is always broken in small
pieces, never cut and never crumbled
into soup or sauce. Oysters and
CLAIMS are eaten without bread. Don't
butter an entire slice Of bread, but a
small piece as you eat 1t.
Soup is taken from the side of the
spoon, which is filled by drawing it up
from the edge of the soup plate oppo-
site. Don't fill the spoon with the
movement toward you.
Weld knife. fork and spoon as
quietly as possible. Don't let fork OF
spoon iangle upon the dish.
In using the knife and fork. a
movement of the wrist, not of the
elbow, is the proper thing. Some
people seem to think that vigorous
exercise with the elbows aids mastica-
ton. The handle of the knife should
rest in the center of the hand, and
no part of the hand should touch the
knife above the handle. In using a
fork, only halt Of the handle-and
that half farthest from the prongs-is
covered nv the hand.
Don't leave the knife and fork al
skies and sevens on the plate at the
end of a meal. Place the fork q
little to the left of the plates center
with the ends of the prongs down
and the knife to the right of the forl
and parallel with it. Let the edge Of
the blade be turned to the fork.
There may be people who take fish
or soup twice. just as there are per
sons who believe in the regeneration
of Turkey. This IS bad breach Of

A STANDARD OIL JOKE.
Ida NJ. Tarbell in Mcclure,s


The American Oil Works were q,

This was in the territory of the Stand
ard agents at Portland, Ore, one 80
whom wrote to a South Bend dealer
when he heard of the intrusion: I'VE
will state for your information thar
never a drop of oil has reached South
Bend of better quality than what we
have always shipped into that terri
tory. They can name it sunlight
moonlight or starlight it makes no
difference. You can rest assured ~
another carload of sunlight arrives
at your place. it will be sold very
cheap. We do not propose to allow an
other carload to come into that terri
tory unless it comes and is put on thu

When Mr.. John d. Archbold, OF the
Standard Oil Company. had his atten-
ton called to this letter by Prof. jerks
of the Industrial Commission, Mr..
Archbold characterized the letter as "a
foolish statement by a foolish and I'M
wise man" and promised to investigate
it. Later he presented the commission
with an explanation from the superior
of the agent, who declared that the
writer of the letter did not have any
authority to say that oil would be sold
on the basis mentioned. "The letter."
he continued. twas intended to be writ
ten in a ocular manner to deny a claim
that he was selling oil inferior in quail
ity to that sold by others" 1t is hard
for the mere outsider to catch the joe
ularity of the letter. and it must have
been much more difficult for the deal
er who received it to appreciate it.

English homespun form a number of

selves stylishly to stitchings or braid
trimmings. French broadcloth is like

to cover the hips. A small cape col

The New Years edition Of the Ad-
vertiser is a special Pearl Harbol
edition. devoted primarily to setting
forth by maps, pictures and descrip-
ton the facts in regard to Pearl Har-
Dor and the establishment there of a
naval station. The facts and argu-
ments therein set forth are worthy OF
the earnest consideration of the citi-
zens of Honolulu. If they are correct
and there is no question but that
they are-the sooner the people of Ha-
wall take action to secure the estab-
lishment of a naval station at Pearl
Harbor, the better.

benefit of which will be felt by all

This first expenditure will not by
any means be the most important from

Notifications. shops and docks will re-
quire soldiers and employees, who with
their families. servants and depend
ents, will number some 10000 people.
these people will mean a great in
crease in the volume of business of
every kind, enough in itself, when add
ed to present business conditions, to
create a prosperity which will be very
welcome after the scrimping of the
last few years.
The station will also, by providing
employment directly and indirectly,
for large number of intelligent men,
vastly raise the average grade of in
telligence of our electorate, and conse-
quently the quality of our elected Off
GERS.
There does not seem to be any one
thing over which our people can have
any influence which will so rebound
to their benefit, financial and political,
as the securing of a naval station at
Pearl Harbor.
1t remains to be seen whether the
people of Honolulu will take advantage
of their opportunities.
