that he considered her life in danger
and would not be surprised to learn OF

of a so.called divorce scandal or
death, l thought she owed it to her
self and her children to guard her
life, and that I would help her all I

Women Coin Testers in the Mint.
From Leslie's Weekly.

from Leslie S Weekly.
The adjusting of the coin Is the most in
teresting part of the whole process This
requires a delicateness OF touch which is
more highly developed in woman than in
man, and on account of her superior quail
cation in this respect this department is in
her charge.
Here the coin is first "selected"-that is
pieces which show the slightest imperfecton
or roughness are thrown out; those which
pass successfully through the skilled fingers
are sent to the long tables where another
set of women weigh each one on delicate
scales. II coin Is too heavy a portion Is
filed off; If too light 1t is thrown out to DO
remelted. Some of these women have be-
come so expert as TO handle thousand
pieces a day.
The coins are next fed TO the milling ma
chimes. this work also being done by women
The planchets are put into the instrument
by means of tube, and as they descend
they are caught upon a revolving wheel and
the edge is compressed and forced up. At
least 800 dimes can be milled in the short
space of a minute. About eighty women
arc employed In these two rooms.

the entertainment to Its pristine simplicity.
OF course, the menu must be selected with
the utmost care and the hostess must be an
adept at the dishes she attempts to cook at
the table; otherwise the meal would be a
failure. The previous arrangements also
must be attended to carefully, and every
thing must be planned beforehand.
The first course should consist of some
thing already prepared, grape fruit cock
tail or frozen sherbet, IL gives the hostess
time to prepare the second course The
second course can be some kind of sayory
bouillon creamed oysters, with appro-
pirate entree. The selection of the third
course should be made with great care, for
II must consist of some kind of meat easily
cooked and a vegetable. Chicken, which
has been previously prepared, can be heated
again in a mushroom sauce; cubes of beef
can be done in a brown sauce with peas
There are many ways of serving meat with
a vegetable.
But the use OF the chatting dish will stop
with the third course, for the salad and
coffee will be served as at any other meal
SO the chahng dish luncheon of four or five
courses will mean that only two of the
courses are cooked at the table; and almost
any one at all versed in chatting dish cuisine
is equal to that

modest aspirations, but he is likely to
carry quantities of red, brown or old blue
"overhaulins," and these, in weave kind
of compromise between jeans and duck,
and not unlike the denim, are admirable
substitutes for this favorite material. From
the viewpoint of the artist their hues are

Informality--

Informality-
And simplicity in entertaining often are
more acceptable than something elaborate.
1t gives the guests the feeling that they are
being admitted into the inner circle, which
always Is a mark OF distinction and favor.
For this reason no one need hesitate 10
entertain a small company at meal even
though a butler does not grace the occasion.
And charming luncheon or supper can be
served without even a maid, IL the chafing
dish and an appropriate menu are made to
do their best service. Then there Is such
an opportunity for a display of both origi-
nality and ingenuity when one departs from
the we'll beaten path In entertaining.
The one course on the chatting dish Is
familiar to every one for the light refresh
lnents in the evening, but a four or five
course luncheon can be made TO stand out
as a unique affair. OF late the criticism
has been heard that luncheons have be-
como entirely too heavy and partake more
OF the nature of n dinner. They are too
elaborate to be In good taste for a midday
meal The inauguration OF the chatting dish

A Matrimonial Dilemma.

Paris Cor. London Mail.
A curious confusion OF Identity bids fair
to prevent a young work girl OF Paris from
marrying.
Two years ago her elder sister wrote
on the eve of her marriage to the mayor OF
her native village for g copy of her birth
certificate. For some reason the official
tailed TO find the entry, and accordingly
had the extraordinary idea TO send tho
girl the certificate of her younger sister,
stating that he thought this would do as
well.
The girl was married and Bow her young
er sister, in her turn, on the eve OF mar
rage, has offered the same certificate to
the Paris officials, who on verifying the
document. have discovered the facts.
Josephine Dansart Is now In the position
OF being unable to marry unless her sister
consents to annul her own marriage. and
by SO doing place her name on the OF
fetal registers free to marry.

It will probably be an item of news to most of our readers that our postmaster is not compelled to make change at Uncle Sam s office. This is a queer rule that not one in thousand persons know. Buyers of stamps or any purchases at a postoffice must furnish their own change; i. e., the postmaster could insist on the buyer furnishing his own change if he sees fit to do it; but usually the postmaster is glad enough to get rid of his chicken feed, " and he is always ready and will ing to accommodate the public by making all the change it asks for. If a man wishes to buy fifty cents worth of stamps and has a silver dollar he would be com . pelled to buy dollars worth of stamps or go and get his silver dollar changed or do without his stamps if the postmaster was stubborn and refused to make change for him. This is the law and queer one according to our way of thinking. And post masters are not compelled to take more than twenty five pennies at one time. If they do not want them.
