Breakfasting in Country Homes.

'ApropOs of the remarks on punctual-
ity mt meals i'll country houses in the last
Bazaar. let me endorse the plea for sim
pie table and add a suggestion. Break
fast at least should be an informal meal.
With many people, especially those VINO
are at lowest ebb i'll the morning break
fast is the great bugbear of the day. 1t
is torture to them to respond to cheerful
and vigor of those who are differently
constituted To such it is a luxury to be
served with coffee and rolls in their own
rooms. In many houses the brea kfast
rrav has done away with the breakfast
table Even the servants like it better.
az the morning work of sweeping and
busting can be done before the guests
appear.
If the tray service does not meet with
favor. simpliication of the ordinary
breakfast routine may be used. as i'll one
hospitable home where there are always
guests Breakfast invariably consists of
fruit. a cereal, toast, bacon, eggs. and
coffee. Everybody goes down at the hour
which is most convenient for him He
may help himself TO fruit or ring for
the waitress if she doesn't happen to be
in the room. She will bring the cereal
and hear in what way he prefers to have
his eggs cooked and whether he wishes
dry or buttered toast. The cereal. of
course. is easily kept hot in the double
boiler. the coffee can be made in Il large
pot or individual drip pots can be used.
Bacon can be fried at intervals. and with
a little care can be kept crisp and hot.
and it is a simple matter to toast bread
and cook eggs. This is Il very Satisfac-
tory arrangement if the waitress has no
other duties.

Hanging Clothes in Small Space.

The appointments of an up-tO-date
clothes closet or wardrobe are a long
way ahead of those in the time when
a man hung his coat on a nail or pos
Slbly wooden peg driven INTO the wall.
The first Improvement on the primitive
nail was when a woman saved the wood
en- spool from her sewing cotton and
slipped ii over the nail before it was
driven. to save her best gown from a
possible tear. Then the painted iron
hooks were made of which a good pro-
portion broke when they were being fast
ened w.
Ingenious people saved small barrel
hoops, cut them in halves. then wound
the sections with strips of CLOTH tied
a loop of string to the middle and
slipped it over a hook or nail. This
was the forerunner of the padded sa-
cheted clothes hanger of today and
served the purpose well of holding out
the shoulders of a coat or the top of a
skirt
The modern clothes hanger is a
curved piece of wood with long hook
AT the top. 1t is often covered with a
strip of cotton batting wound round it
and sprinkle6 literally with sachet pow
der as it is wound. Over this is shirred
a double length of soft ribbon and a
perky bow is tied At the top to the hook.

In Autumntide.

The apple seeds are black at core;
The linden leaves, like fairy ore.
Shed the eEulgence of their gold,
Paving the pathways green before.
More plaintive grows the thrushs pipe;
The ounces cheek is yellow ripe;
And the smooth pallor of the pear
Reveals. like dawn Il russell stripe.
The minstrel wind behind tho hill
Above it's strings is never still:
Autumn through all the broodng land
Works the rich wonder of its will
As in a necromancers glass,
We watch the radiant pageant pass
Wood waving banner back to wood
Across the severing seas of grass.
Forgetful what the hours prcsage.
We feel that we have plucked a page
From the untroublPd Book of DR.. am

S23 month for privates, and from
$15 to $40 for non-commissionedo Of
fieers, there is little inducement for
the really desirable kind of recruits
TO take up with the career.
Many schemes have been set forth
for the lettering of the personnel
of the service. most of them merely
esthetic. The New York Tribune,
for instance. suggests a modifica-
tion Of the present military regula-
tiOns that would open the way for
an honorable discharge from the
navy and marine corps as soon as a
man had been found to have made
a serious mistake in enlisting." This,
it seems to believe. would draw into
the service a specially desirable class
of men, but how or why is not made
clear.
The one thing that will attract
good men 10 the navy and keep
them there is a system Of payment
somewhat commensurate with that
in vogue in evil life. Until the Gov
recognizes that fact, it will
have perpetual trouble with its en-
listed men.
