THE DREAM ANGEL.

THE DREAM ANGEL.
T saw an angel in my dreams last
night:
An angel, in my room, dressed all in
white
l didn't see its wings; l think that they
Were folded, somehow, from my sight
away.
saw 1t just as plain as it could be;
And it knelt down and said a prayer
for me.
And after the sweet little prayer was
said,
1t rose, and smoothed the pillow for
my head
And drew the coverlet and tucked
about;
Then, softly as it came in, it went out.
And was not one bit afraid, because
It looked to me the same as mamma
does.

TALENTED is the hostess who does
L not bring too many people of a pro-
fession together. Your rector will eat
dinner with all the more gusto il he is
the only one of his cloth present. AS
for asking artists, critics and writer's
together, you hardly could do a more
dangerous thing. They know too much
about each other, and you do not know
enough.
The hostess shows talent, likewise,
when she avoids the deadly family
party. Family gatherings are delight
full when they bring together widely
scattered relatives who have few OPP
portunities of meeting. But while you
may dearly love your brothers and sis
tiers and all your "things-in-law," as a
Bostonian said, if you live in the same
town, go to the same church and
clubs, are fully conversant with their
plans, problems and viewpoints, it is
not remarkable divertirg to don your
best clothes, sit up straight, and talk
pretty to them in other peoples
houses.
What kind of people should one in
vite together? What confectioners
call superior mixed. Some friends
old and some friends new, some
friends fiippant, some friends blue" A
notably good raconteur, person with
the gift of music, or mimicry, or pal
mistry, are good condiments in the So
cial salad

HACTFUL and delicate, even for a
L Frenchman, was the reply made by
Partisan who had not found "a life on
the ocean wave" all for which one
could wish. He was sinking, pale and
haggard, into his steamer-chair when
his neighbor cheerily asked:
Have you breakfasted, monsieur
mo, msieur," answered the French
man with a wan smile, 81 have not
breakfasted. On the contrary"

III AT rests shaped like small lamp
IL shades are such an aid in preserv-
ing the shape of headgear and other
wise protecting it, especially when ira
Yelling, that it is strange the idea of
using them in the home has not been
taken up by more women.
Now it is possible to buy these
frames all ready for use or just the
wire work uncovered. The former is
of cardboard, over which chintz, Gre
tonne or a kindred fabric is put; in
some case large loop is found sewed
to the lower edge. In the case of the
hat being hung on rack or in the
| closet, the loop is passed over the
hook, then the hat is put on the rest
and hat pin is passed through bon
net and rest, making it impossible for
the headgear to fall off or to be crush
ed in any way. When this rest is used
in box it is laid on the bottom and
the hat is placed upon it, which, of
course, keeps it entirely away from the
box The protection thus given is a
perfect boon, for the under brims of the
hats nowadays are often more fully
trimmed than the outside, and so must
be kept from being crushed.

past few seasons without a desperate
struggle, and, fortunately for it, there
are hosts of women who prefer this
