housekeeping allowance. Make her beg for every
penny she spends.
If you are woman-try little nagging. No

If you are a man-remark often and in the

If you are woman-remind your husband
that you might have made brilliant marriage
had you not feared that your refusal of him
might wreck his life.
If you are a man-keep your manners" for
other women and allow your wife to open the

Cracked ice is first placed in the large glass
and the grapefruit pulp and juice removed and
added to the inner glass, then topped with maras-

A touch of color to harmonize with the scheme
may be added by arranging bow on the stem

BERRY SETS IN CHINA AND GLASS.
In serving berries or sliced fruits there are
very attractive sets in cut glass and good im

Colonial.
Besides the berry bowls and saucers, there are
comports galore and very large bowls, with flow
ing rims The latter are desirable for fruit cen
trepieces. Colonial comports range in prices from
40 cents upward; other patterns equally as
reasonable and glasses for fruit sundaes, also in
the Colonial style, may be had for $1.50 dozen,
sherbet glasses, too are available.

ESYV0T is fortunate thing for most of us
I&H that dainty and attractive table serv-
RssssAszN i've need not overtax the average purse.
eSs@$sgj Many of the hgh-priced articles in
china, glass and silver are very cred
itably reproduced in less expensive but desirable
qualities These, wisely chosen and discreetly ap-
proprated charm the eye and go far in tempting
that whimsical little autocrat, the palate.
And, after all, it is not the money that Is
lavished upon the festive board that counts, but
the refnements shown in the appointments and
the individual charm of the whole.
As fruits play such important role in
dietary during the summer months and appear
most tables at least twice day, it behooves
the housekeeper to look well to the most at
tractve ways of serving them.
No class of eatables lends itself to better ad
vantages for palatable and attractive service
than the products of the orchard
A hostess who goes in for picturesque effects
will find that she has practically free lance in
this direction.
When it is possible, fruits should be served
with their own foliage City folks however
do not find this scheme practical, though there
are fruterers who sell fruits and foliage together
To find at ones breakfast plate delicious pear
or peach partially covered with its own foliage
or a serving of berries touched with green's
Immediately whips appetite into shape and
acts the best kind of tonic for our stom
achs and an excellent regulator for that much
abused organ, the liver.
To follow the prescribed laws of health we
should commence the first meal every day with
fruit, oranges and grapefruit in winter, and fresh
fruits in their season.
INDIVIDUAL SERVICE FOR GRAPEFRUIT.
Speaking of grapefruit, the up-to-date hostess
employs special service for this healthful ap-
petizer, When halved and served in its yellow
jacket, the fruit is placed on little silver bowl
topped with silver rim, the whole resting on
a china fruit plate.

place a bowl of fruit upon the piazza. When
meals taken the piazza or alfresco en-
tertainments given, the more inexpensive qualities
of japanese china are very largely employed.
GRAPES AT THEIR BEST.
Some ingenious mind bethought Of the grape
dip, that is nothing more than tail tumbler
of oval shape, that rests in silver stand not
unlike soda glass holder.
The true palatableness of grapes is frequently
lost because of their temperature. Merely DOUGH
ing them in cold water while washing them is
not sufficient They should be thoroughly chill
ed before serving, and as this is not always prac
tcal when the available space in the refrig
orator is taxed the grape dip comes as special
boon.
The glass is partially filled with crushed ice
not f1aked or it will dissolve too quickly, then
the grapes are placed within and shortly be-
come thoroughly chilled.
All fruits and berries should be carefully wash
ed and picked over before serving. Many emoar-
RAISING moments have been experienced by guests
as well as the hostess through Degect on the
maids part to correctly examine the fruits for
soil and the various kinds of small bugs that
live upon them.
Pearl-handled fruit knives back again in
fashion, If YOU happen to possess your grand
mothers kind bring them to the light of the
sun once more
BASKETS OF SILVER AND WICKER.
A basket Of Japanese willow or wicker IN
dull brown makes most attractive centrepiece
when filled with fruits. The effect is especially
good when the contents gracefully spilled
upon the table.
New fruit baskets this season are of very
soft fibre slightly boat-shaped, with low, square
handles. brilliant green yellow is some
times introduced as a border on the basket and
handle.
Old-fashioned fruit baskets of silver con-
sidered very elegant, these too numbered among
YOUR grandmother's prized possessions. Greens
are twined about the handles and base of these
ba slets. adding not little to their charm.
Many of these baskets are built over the tall
aoef, outline of the French designs Filigree
natterns are especially favored. Large silver fruit
bowls. too, are in demand and are wreathed in
French baskets are also shown in wicker, and
are usually topped with large bow of ribbon,
