LUNCHEON FANCIES.

Luncheons are a popular form of enter
talnment among girl students. At one
of them given recently by one of the girls
The dining room was made to resemble al
artistic. studio with pictures and drapery
on the walls and ensels placed about the
room. In the centre of the luncheon table
was n small marble bust of Millet. Sur
rounding this was a garland of brilliant
red flowers. Candlesticks OF antique de-
sign were placed on the table, says What
to Eat. Miniature easels were made to
hold the hand painted place cards at each
cover. The cards we're cut IN the Snaps of
small p~alettes. Bonbons and relishes were
placed in small gilded paint pans. Sticks
Of colored candies resembling pastel cray
ons were tied with red ribbons and placed
at each cover. The following menu was
served: Tomato bisque. waters in the form
Of triangles, old meats served on new
wooden palottes, pickles and olives, French
rolls, lettuce salad. ice cream nodded in
the forms of tiny p~alettes, fancy cakes,
black coffee. The favors were palettes
cut out OF heavy water color paper, with a
pen and ink cartoon sketched Upon them.
A living picture entertainment followed
the luncheon.

His eIf-satisfaction.

Pretty soon she brought the CONVEX
sation around to girls, asking him if
there were many down there whom he
knew.
"Girlsl Don't mention girls to me-"
said he In his most lordly tone. AT
our house there are twenty of them
and only two fellows. Why, it's all
we can do to get away from them to
have a little peace. They don't wait
to be asked to go out. They ask us to
take Them" and he grinned complacent-
ly, for 1t never entered his head that
perhaps his popularity vas due to the
fact that he held the field alone, or
nearly a~lone.
The aunt changed her mind about
introducing him to her niece. who, 1t
must be said, lost her desire for mascu-
line companionship after hearing of
such c%onceit. "They needn't think I
will notice them.' she vowed, tossing
her head, and she kept her word. And
the funny part of it was that, after
he had seen her on the beach a few

oonceIted scnshore MOE.

Young men at the seashore are GER
tainly well aware of their own value.
Being rather scarce, as it were, they
find themselves accepting the devoted
attentions of scores of girls, who find
fun and excitement in making a fuss
over them, when in the city they would
give them nothing beyond an icy stare
and a curt how do you do?"
No long g a woman took her niece
down to one of the Jersey resorts, to
spend several weeks. They had been
there about q week when the young
woman bgan to find it rather monot-
nou What was canoeing, or sailing,
or tennis without a man to admire and
applaud? No fun at all!
So the aunt busted herself to find
some friend for the lonesome little
lady, and finally met q callow youth,
who wore his college cap and sweater
whenever opportunity offered, and who
was never seen without a little curly
pipe ia one corner of his mouth. Com
plete dissatisfaction was written all
over this young man, and as the aun
sized him up she smiled to herself,
thinking what a fine fellow he would
be about FIVE years later, when a little
experience had toned down his ego
tism.
He was pleased to talk to her, for
she was an old friend of his mothers $,
and he knew her well. Besides, it was
nice to meet some me who seemed in
terested in his exploits at school, Of
which he was never tired of telling.

You Americans waste SO much ener-
gy," was the remark of an English wo-
man not long ago, after she had been In
this ountry long enough to be able &c
pass comment.
I'm what way2" asked one of her listen
ers. an American to the backbone.
Why. in every way" came he reply.
You do not know the meaning Of repose,
unless it is when you sleep. Awake. you
are constantly using up nerve force by
unnecessary motions. You cannot talk
without gesticulating with your hands. and
sometimes your feet. and sometimes, in an
effort to tell something as 1t really hap
pened, you witch nearly every muscle
of your face
TITS no such thing" came in indignant
tones from the other speaker. l guess II
we acted like that we would know it. And
we are certainly not aware of it."
"Of eourse you aren't" came in slow,
amused tones from the English woman.
you are unconscious of 1t because you
have always done it. I will tell you of
a way to test what I have just said. Go
up to any American you chance to meet
and ask him to tell you what a spiral
staircase looks like. Every single one
who answers you will demonstrate 1t by
whirling his fingers In the air, making
little circles as he tries to describe what
1t is"
Just try It." she added. and the little
woman did. only to lind the statement
verified.
1t certainly is true that we waste a lot
of nerve force. We seldom sit down to
rest without swinging our feet or con-
stantly twitching our hands. The Aneri-
can woman who knows how to rest. and
h has the correct idea of repose, is an
exception.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR SKIN.

Once a day, preferably at night, you
should wash your face very thoroughly
if you would have one of the most potent
adJuncts of beauty, a fine skin. After
having lathered your face with the best
soap, wash gently but thoroughly with a
very soft, even brush or a cloth. Rinse
well and dry with a soft towel, using an
upward stroke. When the face has been
thoroughly dried give it two cream baths.
The cream for this purpose is made as
follows: Melt together two ounces of best
sweet almond oil; o~ne-fourth ounce sperm
acct. one large teaspoonful best landolin
and a bit of white wax; the kind that
comes In thin round sheets the size of q
half dollar. Remove this from the fire
and add gradually two ounces of orange
flower water and four drops of either OF
of rose or rose geranium. Be careful no
to use more of the spermaceti and way
than the formula calls for, as what Is
wanted is not a stiff ointment. but a soft
cream which will nourish and soften the
skin,-Harper's Bazaar.

THE BIRTHDAY
OF A PIONEER.

On August 10, suffrage clubs in diff

the eighty-ninth anniversary of the
birth of Lucy Stone, who has been
called the morning star of the equal
rights movement The exercises in

Der responded with n quotation from
Mrs. stone. The following are sam
pies:
"suffragists have always urged that
because women are women, and there
fore eternally different from men. they
should have The right to represent
themselves"
There is not one mother in millions
who does not think ten times of what
will be best for her hid where she thinks
once of what is best for herself"
Time will prove the truth that two
equals in the family are better than a
master and a servant
For the sake of the little children.

to help them make and administer the

intends the cooking of three meals
each day, three hundred and s~ixty-hve
times a year. which makes more than
a thousand meals, is not by law en-
titled to anything for 1T except her
food and clothes"
"Goethe's statement of the high duties
and important office of the house,

long as the housekeeper is disfranchised
in common with felons and idiots, so
long as her best service has no mate

order to give man free opportunity to
enrich and advance himself, so long,

A RAINY DAY PARTY.

For the rainy day, which all hostesses
dread, a barn party is great fun. A clean.
roomy carriage-house is easily swept out
II made empty, and then the guests can
amuse themselves a whole afternoon in
decorating it for the evening. Corn stalks
may be stacked in the corners and ears OF
corn festooned across the ceiling. with
punches of wheat and oats on the walls.
For lighting. of course. Jack-o' lanterns
are the proper thing, and these are the
funniest things in the world made out of
summer squashes, for long, quaint, dismal
faces result from their. marrow shape
These can be swung from the ceiling by
strings, so they will hang down oyer the

In Tunis. when a man wants to take
another wife, he picks out a girl, and then
carries to her father a pair of bracelets
and a pair of anklets from one OF the other

The bracelets and anklets are slipped on
the young woman and several months are
allowed for her fattening. She must fatten

cLEANINa DUSTY WALL pApER.

One Of the easiest methods Tor cleaning
wallpaper is to nave soft cotton cloths.
Dip them into soft cornmeal, sIeved. and
wipe the paper carefully. The soft meal
collects every particle of dust, leaving
the paper clean and bright. The corn
meal on the carpet assists In cleaning
the dust from It, so It Is not necessary
to use Amy p%recaution in keeping 1t from
falling o. the floor. for it can be sprinklea

A LITTLE ADVICE.

Never force a child to eat that against
which he rebels, even though it be the most
staple of foods. White potatoes win make
some children very sick, showing that there
is something in the potato which is abso-
