WHEN THERE IS NO MAID.
How to Have a Successful Dinner
Party When Hostess Must Pre-
pare and Serve.

Plan the meal beforehand with d.
rect reference to making a minimum
Of cooking and serving at the last
moment. First select such dishes as
can be prepared wholly or in part
some time before the meal. Set the
table ready fer the first course and,
If it is warm weather, the windows
open and a strong breeze with much
dust, throw over all a cover made OF
several breadths of cheese cloth. Sc
lect the china, glass and silver for
the various courses and arrange on
the sideboard or an extra side table,
putting the set for each course by it,
self. In the kitchen put a table as
near to the communicating door as
possible; keep half Of it clear to re-
ceive the soiled dishes. On the otker
end place the platters, etc, on which
to dish up the hot food. When the
meal time arrives put the first course
on the table before asking your guests
into the dining room. When it is fin
ished they will, presumably, be deep
in conversation while you are en-
ployed in changing the dishes. Hav-
ing everything in readiness this will
take but a few moments and you can
resume your seat. When there is no
host to do the honors it will relieve
you IL you are at liberty to ask ore or
more Of the guests to serve certain
dishes.-Chicago Chronicle.

ABOUT THE NEW DRESSES.
The Empire Styles Lead, with Them
Are Worn Pretty Little Coats
and Broad Sashes.

Much speculation has been rife In
Paris as to the lines to be adopted in
the coming season for the new dresses.
Rumor said return to the frills Of
1870 was imminent, but no one could
speak with certainty, since the leading
dressmakers declined to give the
slightest hint as to the STYLES in prep
aration. Now. at last, your correspOn-
dent has been by special favor allowed
a glance at the models which are to be
displayed to customers from all parts
Of the world. And let it be said az
once that the majority of gowns will
be constructed on Empire lines. Small
boleros, clasping the bust closely, and
bound to the figure by folded satin
sashes, or pieces OF wOndrous embroid-
cry, will play a leading role on both
day and evening dresses. From Under
this folded sash, which runs up high at
the back, the skirt will fall in graceful
lines. Across the front Of the bodice a
good deal Of padding is used to give
the straight, square look to the bust
which is essential for success.
type, there is a quaint adaptation Of
this Empire idea. The very short boz
lero Of last autumn has a loose basque
added to It, which falls away from the
figure beneath the arms and descends
to the waist-line Beneath this coat
the skirt rises high over the bust, end
ing sometimes with straps over the
shoulder.
OF blouses there are none. Their
place Is taken by the elegant lace
Suimpes which finish the Empire
gowns. Fine and beautiful laces are
used for these, and any bits Of good
lace can be brought into use. With a
little bib-shaped piece of Irish lace
forming the middle of the front of the
bodice, straight lapels of the same lace
can be placed on the sleeve, running
down the middle, the material used for
the gown forming lightly draped puffs
on either side.-N. Y. Tribune.

Cleaning Carpets.

Carpets should be taken up, and II
not cleansed professionally should be
beaten, we'll brushed and hung out OF
doors to freshen the colors. When re-
laying carpets layer Of felt should be
placed below them. This serves the
double purpose of wear and tear and
makes the rooms warmer. For the sake
Of economy sheets Of brown paper may
be used instead Of felt, and make an
admirable substitute. If the cOlors Of
the'carpet are dull they may be bright
ened by rubbing it over with a flannel
cloth wrung from water mixed with a
little ammonia.

Lowell, Mass, Newfoundland Follows
Young Master and Brings Him

Lowell, MRss.--After following his
eight-year-old master, Charles Henri
Roussell, son Of Marcel Roussell, OF
Ludlam street, about the streets, who
was walking in his sleep, and then real
izing something was amiss with the
boy, "old Tige," large Newfoundland
family dog, led the little fellow back
home, and did not leave his side until
he saw the child safely settled in his
little bed again. The incident occurred
at the Roussell homestead on Ludlam
street. Mr.. and Mrs. Roussell were
awakened in the middle of the night by
continued paving at the back door. A
few moments later steps were heard on
the stairs coming toward Mr.. and Mrs.
Roussells room.
Mr.. Roussell, thinking perhaps some
thing was wrong, dashed for the top OF
the stairs, to see "Old Tige" climbing
the stairs with a hold OF the boys little
