Tiny Buttons

Tiny Buttons
Tiny buttons and long braid "button-
holes" have appeared upon so many
silk and flannel shirt waists that now
the loops and buttons come Joined,
ready to apply. Some of them are mad :
with colors that contrast-the peacock
coloring being especially noticeable
green silk loops ending in blue but
tons, or glue or green loops setting off
the weird beauty of buttons made in
close imitation of the eyes of a pea
cocks tail, and strong royal blues ard
greens that fash and change as you
look at them.

Women Employed on Steamers

In Norway and Sweden many steam-

scandinavian rivers, and women are
employed on them to look after the

women passengers. These women have
plenty to do providing for the table,

Dutch Luncheons a Pleasant Change
Dutch luncheons" are oddly delight
full, at least in the form in which some
American hostesses arrange them. The
china must be delft and the linen should
bear scenes of windmills and canals
But the main point is the floral decor
ration. Nari-colored coleus in tiny delft
vases Is the plant for the centerpiece
The vases may surround towering
bunch of tulips. The menu card ard
the favors must be distinctly Dutch
One hostess recently went to the ex-
treme OF having the face of Queen Will
helmina on tine cards. AS for the
dishes the wealthy Dutch have French
cooks. so there is little of Holland in
the luncheon bills of fare. But the
food Is small consideration if the
appointments be in order.

Comfort in the Guest Room.

How seldom nowadays do we find peo-
pie who still cling to the Old-fashioned
idea that nothing is too good for the
guest. Where is now that best room re-
served for the sole use of company, gen
orally better situated and better fur
nished than any room occupied by the
family?
Because of the cramped conditions un-
der which most apartment house dwell
erS are forced to live the guest room
with them is Il JOY they are compelled to
forego. but there are few houses in
which spare corner cannot be found to
keep in readiness for the chance visitor.
1t is the duty, and should be the pleas
ure. of every hOmekeeper to have room
devoted to that purpose only.
The tendency toward selfish living
which is marked in large cities has its
root probably in the difficulties which
beset the modern housekeeper. The prob
lem that the servant presents, the in
creased cost of living. the restricted size
Of houses, all tend toward a narrowing
of the housekeeper's horizon to the needs
of her immediate family. The open
handed hospitality OF a generation ago is
no longer possible in many cases.
Yet if one is TO entertain guests at all
there are some things as essential to
their comfort as the food they eat and
the bed they sleep on. and emitting these

guest room need not have special ele-
gance. in fact. that is to be avoided, bur
il should contain enough of the common
comforts Of life to insure the enjoyment
Of its occupant during his stay in it.
OF course. first and foremost comes
the necessity of a perfectly comfortable
bed. \ strange bed is enough To cause
sleeplesSness in many people for a. least
n night or two. under the most favorable
circumstances. and it is the hostess first
duty to know that the bed her guest Is
