] On Sunday afternoon, Mr.. and
Mrs. r.. II. Whitney were the
hosts of very elegant luncheon,
given in. commemoration of the
joint birthdays of Mrs. Eli Tullis
and Mr.. Joseph Moore, the date
of which falls on the 18th inst,
St. Patrick's day, but was una
voidably postponed.
Sixteen covers were laid, those
present were: Mr.. and Mrs. w. ].
Steen, Miss Amalia Steen, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. NJ. Davidson, Mr.. and
Mrs. Dan Ashford, Mrs. Eli Tul-
lis, Mrs. Cleora Trimble, Mrs. Ell
10 Snyder, Mr.. and Mrs. J. T..
Watson and Master Ned Tullis.
The color scheme, green, i'm
honor of the Emerald Isle, was
carried out to perfection, in all
the lovely appointments of the
table, from the first reflections,
consisting of oranges, lin allusion
to Mr.. Moore's being an Orange
man, or. Protestant, in his coun-
try in fancy shapes, in the centre
of which were embedded luscious
green cherries, to the velvety ices,
also tinted with green, the white
cake with dashes of green dis
closed in each slice.
Rising from a plateau of Hya-
cinths and ferns, was a harp,
made of smilax, emblem of
Ireland, since "harper's boar"
touched it's chords, with pride,
while chanting the anelers glories
of Ireland.
Garlands Of ivy and smilax we're
wreathed around the chandeliers,
while entwined with knots of green
ribbon, the silken flags of Ireland
and America, fioated from the
apex.
Green hats, shaped identically
like those worn by "cabbies," in
the streets of Dublin to this day.
enclosed green and white bonbons
in their hollow depths. Dainty
receptacles, in the shape of sham
rocks, held sailed nuts. Tiny
green serpents glided, apparently,
about, among the dishes, wraiths
possibly of those st. Patrick ex-
orcised centuries ago, the favors
were shaDrocks, with the Rose of
England in the centre.
Altogether, it was a delightful
and heart-stiring reunion, and one
to be kept green, as on anniver-
sGry, for years to come.
The toast of the occasion was
''Old Ireland, And the Boys She
Sends Us to Swell our Votes, the
Ranks of our Army, and to Marry
our Pretty Girls, of which there
were two representatives present.
The lady and gentleman, so
richly complimented, bear the
burden of their advanced years,
IN way to make one wonder, if
the youngsters of this era will
reach such q green old age as
theirs.

Take Care Of Your EYES.

People who recognize the Importance Of
taking care of their health often quite for

just as necessary TO take care of our eyes
First of all take care of your general
health. Poor health often leads indirectly
to various eye troubles.
Then remember that straining OF the eyes
Is caused by a dazzling glare or bad light
Glare and gloom are equally bad to work
In. You need not ask which Is the worse
for the eyes-one Is as bad as the other
The light should fan on book or work
from behind us. The attitude while at work
is OF great importance. The head should.
as far as possible, be kept erect Stoop-

head and eyes-this Is injurious to them.

The Care Of Gloves.

Too much cannot be said about the neces-
sity for proper care in removing gloves
from the hands. for upon this more than
anything else depends the length OF time
a pair of gloves will wear. After unfasten-
ing the glove II should be turned back over
the hand as far the fingers and then
should be pushed off without pulling on the
fingers of the glove at all, as when this Is
done the threads of the sewing are broken,
and in a short time begin to rip.
After the glove is OFF the hand the fingers
should be gently Strengthened out. the gloves
smoothed into shape and put into box to
keep them from the air as much as pos
sible as 1t is the air and the moisture In Ii

NEW YORK. July q. 1905.
How must dress in hot weather in or
der TO look stylish and yet be perfectly
cOmfortable?'
so writes girl correspondent and
doubtless, many another maid is perplexed
by the same question. Putting IL in another
shape-the shape which is lmplied-it reads
thus; How must dress in the dog days in
order not TO look a fright?
Once even the prettiest women were
menaced by the raiment which dressmakers
and shops doled out to them with the dog
days. Fashion paid little attention to the
kisses of Old Sol and faithful devotees at
her shrine needed to suffer in silence or
else wear something not hallowed by the
signet OF the goddess. Nowadays things
are different. The seml-negIige of the hot
test weather takes its place with the sea-
son and may on occasion express even eIe-
gance. From top to toe every garment is
considered, and while guarding the loose
ness necessary for comfort the taut trim
look Of the moment is yet sustained.
The first thing to be considered in getting
up a desirable hot weather outfit is. Of
course. underwear. The next is easy and
lightweight fOotgear; next come the cool
bodice and its attendant hat and last the
plain street suit, which, to be the thing
Sandwiched in with these more important
things there must be neat accessories
which may go to the wash tub at any mo-
ment and come back as good as new Wash
belts are among these, open-work stocks of
several sorts, and silk and Isle thread
gloves.
Hot Weather Lingerie.
Delightful hot weather underwear is made
from China silk and American lawn. in
which inexpensive materials the shops
show pretty models lightly trimmed with
imitation Valenciennes and simple hand
stitcheries There is no cooler material for
summer wear than China silk, but the lawn
garments are a shade more elegant and the
ready-made ones are cheaper than those of
silk. The harshness disappears with the
first washing, and despite the filminess of
such textures they are really most durable.
The lawn and silk night dresses for mid
summer wear are all on the deCollete or
der-the neCks quite low in fact and some
Of the sleeves the merest little shoulder
