There was fresh proof offered yesterday
at the sailing time and place of the Oceanic
that all the world loves q lover. Just to
get the last bit of essence of sweetness
from parting kiss man bound for the
other side let the gang plank be pulled
from his reach and the ship begin to push
from the shore. But the ships officers and
the attendants on the deck could not per-
nit such a cruel punishment of a bit of dis

were given that sent the ship and the gang
plank back for the lover. And so he went
aboard and his fiancee melted from view
among the watching crowd Sentiment

A New Silver Neck Chain.

The new silver neck chain ornamented
with brilliants. each section being composed
of ten small stones placed at alternate in
tervals and marked with a large pearl, is
very popular. These are called chaines de
chapelet or rosary chains. This kind of
bijou is very popular and It is certainly
very uncommon. The Louis XVI ring seal
loped round the edges is much worn. The
diamond rings of this description have
usually silver settings, and this old-fash-
toned custom has now been renewed.

If a cold dinner is an anomaly on French
soil, in equal degree is a solitary one. We
read that one of the greatest thinkers who
ever lived would never dine alone. His
means in later life permitting such an in
diligence, Kant always sat down to table
with several chosen Tisch-genossen or
table companions for the sake of conversa-
ton. The French have their equivalent in
the word commensal, from cum and mensa.
No Frenchman ever dimes alone if he can
possibly help It. Military men, officials,
clerks and others have ever their common
sal, some comrade with whom they chat
over their dinner at the restaurant.
The greatest authority dinners and
dinner-gfving, Brillat-Savarin, lays down
the axiom that invited guests must above
all things be spirituel in other words, gifted
with wit and spirit. A more practical
writer, addressing himself to the majority,
bids folks remember one hard and fast rule,
when invited out to dinner-they must talk
or something, no matter what; even If told
off with dull companion the tongue must
wag.
Conversation, indeed, to the French mind
is as much of a necessity as a well-cooked,
elaborate dinner, and one naturally stimu-
ldleS the ollleT. "A meal OF colo Deet with
baked potatoes may be highly nutritive and
economical but it is hardly calculated to
make man rub his hands cherrily when he
unfolds his napkin. And, perhaps, 1 have
here misused the word economical La
borious, elaborate French cookery is yet
the least extravagant in the world. Many
things thrown aside in English kitchens are
turned by our neighbors to excellent ac
count. Thus one of the most delicious
soups possible is made from the shells of
the green pea, whilst. as l have already
mentioned, the water in which vegetables
are boiled often forms the basis of the
poor mans potage. But the primary, the
all-important moral to be deduced from this
subject is neither economic, hygienic nor
social; 1t Is esthetic. Just as French art,
handicrafts and manufacturers maintain
their superiority by virtue of sheer palms.
taking, the determination at any cost to
attain superexcellence, to keep up to ira
dltional standard, so the French dinner re-
mains unrivaled because trouble and time
are not taken into account, because the
only thing strven after is pre-eminence,
quality defying criticism.

This combination of nursery school and
dining room has advantages as well as
drawbacks for the children. French boys
and girls possess a facility in conversation,
an amount of savoir-faire quite foreign to
our own. Such readiness and self-posses-
sion are partly due to their perpetual pres
ence at the family dinner. Nurseries and
school rooms being non-existent throughout

In French middle-class houses little at
tention is paid to table appointments. The
glossy damask, the cut glass, the polished
knives, the flowers TO which we are accus-
tened housewives over the water sacrifice
to gastronomic delectation. 1t is the dinner
itself that is thought of, not its adiuncts
l well remember some years ago dining
at the house of an impecunious English
squire. 1t was a chapter out of Thack-
eray's Book of Snobs." Amid snowy sur
roundngs we were RECALLED with fresh her
rings, home-fed veal and for dessert dish
of walnuts. With impoverished landlords in
France such q condition of things would
have been reversed-acce giving way
to the bill of fare.
If French dinner differs in composition
from an English meal and is much less
elaborately served it is partaken of in a
wholly different manner. Alike rich and
poor wind up the day with dinner, our
own middle-class supper at or even o
o'clock being unknown. And alike, rich
and poor, at this the most sociable feature
of the days program, have their children
with them a much smaller contingent than
with ourselves. The habit may not be good
for the children, it certainly entails an
immense addition of work upon the SER
wants or bonnie a maid of all work. and
very certainly ii is not In accordance with
insular notions. But in French eyes child
hood is invested with something of divinity {
And the tiny tyrants ruling the house are
never supposed to be in the way, much less
to be troubled with indigestion. Thus you
will see babies of two years, or even less,
solemnly going through a table d'hote
course. perhaps dropping off to sleep when
ices come to table. IL English meals re-
sembled French dinners, middle-class cooks
and maids OF all work would seldom get
to bed before midnight.
Here Is the explanation. Vegetables are
never eaten with meat In France, being
served apart, and to each dish, no matter
how trifling, Is served a separate plate.

Sweet Laziness.

When the south wind wooes the woodbine
TIL It's soft, green fingers cling
To the gables In the sunshine,
Making dainty. shadowing
Then the days are warm and mellow
Filtering through the hands Of spring.
Then the dandclions yellow
Forth their brilliant banners fling
When the bees are softly droning
In the morning glory vines,
When the turtle doves are moaning
Down behind the fields confines,
When old winters moods and RACES
Back to polar zones have fed,
I, the heir of all the ages
Lounge upon grassy bed.
Hear among the leafy branches
Now and then n songbird call;
See In mimic avalanches
Storms of cherry blossoms fall;
Bobolink is gayly pouring
Forth his little heart in song,
While the oriole is soaring
AS his notes in rapture throng.
When the south wind >wooes the woodbine
Till it's soft. green fingers cling.
Then bask in fragrant sunshine
Loving every living thing.
Watching fields of spring clover,
Waiting for their blossoms red
While the wind comes softly over
Dropping petals round my head.

Hello, central! All hail the man!
He came, he saw, and Caesar isn't a
circumstance. He has taken the large
corner room. Mrs. Banks, our general
overseer. says he is an exceptional
young man. Wonder how much board
he paid In advance!
He isn't real young nor real old: lust
that intermediate age that is so inter-
esting. l don't think he is exactly
handsome, but you know what a prop
erly trimmed vandyke and pair Of
rimless eyeglasses will do for any man.
He's that kind.
This morning he escorted all of us
through the glen. Did / tell you that
we had glen? Oh, yes; Glen Ellyn.
Just feminist the villa. It's break in
the sand blum, and it's damp and piny
and darksome at midday. Heretofore
the organdie flock had religiously es-
chewed its ferny swampiness, but you
should have seen us trail after him

the while he fished out dinky little
weeds and discoursed on them.

better than barber. A letter came for
him today addressed to Professor Adri-
an Vogel. How's that for individual
ity? He looks it too. He does not
dance, and he does not play the mando-
lin. He goes for his morning dip at
some unearthH hour before we are up.
In fact. he does not do any Of the or
thodox summer "manisms." but he has
manners and customs Of his own.
For instance, he sings, and sings we'll.

what the professors Joy is. I think
privately we would get closer to ma
lures heart and the professors heart,
