A DINNER-TABLE MIsHAP.
inexperienced Servant Performs His
Duty to the Letter Of In
struction.

Marcel Provost, the French novelist,
is favorite in the American colony
in Paris. says the Washington Star.
Whenever | see an English bish-
op," said M. Provost at an American
dinner party, Il laugh a little to my
self, for the good mans stately pres
ence reminds me Of a terrible mishap
that once befell me.
Il entertained a certain bishop last
year at dinner. My butler. an elderly
man, had brought in from friends
house an inexperienced lad to help
him in the dining room, and it seems
that this lad. during the laying of the
cloth, annoyed the butler beyond en-
durance with questions as to his du-
ties.
How shall hold the plates?
Do | serve the dishes on the right
or on the left side of the guests?'
Must the bishop be served first or
second?'
$50 he continued interminably, and
at last the impatient butler said:
All you will need to do will be to
stand behind the bishops chair, and
whenever his lordship puts down his
glass you must reach over and wipe
his mouth with napkin
THAT, as the butler expected, ST.
fenced his assistant. But the young
man actually took the buffers ironical
remark for serious order. AS soon
as dinner began he stationed himself
behind the bishop, waited till his
lordship had drunk and put down his
glass, and then, as deliberately as his
nervousness would permit. he opened
out large napkin and wiped the dig
nified old gentleman's mouth.

weeks beforehand she made arrange
ments with the one small livery stable
keeper i'm the neighbOrhOod for securing
the comfortable arrival and departure

these outside details, she devoted her
self to planning for the wedding proper.

a little silver thread being introduced
TO brighten it.
An interesting feature Of this design
is its provision for the separate yoke
now so much in favor. This is applied
under the scallops, and may either be
sewed in or may be fastened by the
tiniest hooks and loops. The hooks can
easily be concealed under the scallops.
This will permit several different yokes
being used.
The yokes are specially good this sea-
son either I'm the Irish lace worked in
braids, that so many women enjoy max
ing. or in an all-over valenciennes. This
latter is given an added touch of beau
ty by being embroidered with heavy
dots in different sizes from coin to pin
dot
Another charming yoke is made Of
narrow torchon embroidery joined either
with fine valenciennes beading or a
tiny swiss insertion, very sheer and fine.
In applying this pattern, place the ma
terial smoothly and right side up on a
large board or old table. Cover with a
sheet OF impression paper, shiny side
down; put the pattern On that, belns
sure that the centre of the yoke is eN,
actly straight on the material, ana
fasten with small thumb tacks to hold
the goods perfectly hrm. Then trace
with hard pencil.
The dotted lines around the back have
nothing TO do with the design, only
marking the division of the pattern. To
trace Il, place the impression paper face
down on the right side of the material
and fold both down the middle. This
will leave the paper on the inside back
to back.
Then put the pattern on the upper fold
OF the material, setting IL in full lnCn
from the edge to allow for the flap, and
trace as usual This method will stamp
both sides at once. and save the an-
noyance of reversing the design-inci-
dentally preventing such catastrophes
