Among the many varied designs Of cot
tages that are being built all over our
country, many different types or styles
can be found in wonderful mixture. To
the ordinary beholder they are pretty to
be seen, by the architectural connoisseur
they are sharply criticized. The studies
that stick closely to classic lines In the
treatment Of detail, cornices, windows,
etc., are not without criticism, they are
frequently awkward and clumsy and not
always comely to look at Most Of the
designs that prevail are combined
thoughts and ideas Of the Architectural
student and II the combination is In har-
mony and the effect pretty, the house
will please a great majority Of people and
often times much better than those that
adhere strictly to the old classic forms.

POPULAR WAY OF SERVING

One of the most popular ways to serve
tomatoes Is to form them into cups and
fill these with some appetizing combina-
tion. To make the cups, select small
round tomatoes peel them and cut a
slice from the stem end Of each and scoop
out the centers. leaving thin wall. Salt
them, and set them aside for ten minutes.
then drain them and set them on Ice.
The cups may be served alone, with
piquant sauce for flling.a This sauce Is
made Of tablespoonful Of lemon Juice.
half as much olive oil, stoned olive, a
few tarragon leaves, and II desired a bit
of fne-chopped chives. Oysters or shrimps
can also be served in these cups. Put six
clans in each cup and pour over them a
tablespoonful of the following sauce; Two
tablespoonfuls each of mushroom catsup
and lemon Juice, five drops Of tabasco
sauce, pinch of salt, and two table
spoonfuls OF tomato catsup. Cook, she'll

fuls in each cup, with sauce In proportion.
For effect. wreathe each cup with gar

One really must see the new jeweIry
to understand how beautiful and artistic
are the designs and colorings. Oddly.
originality and beauty of workmanship,
rather than intrinsic value are the things
sought for in the so called "art nouveau"
jewelry, and although II Is necessary to
have unerring taste in selection. the ma
jority of the articles to be had In the
finer shops and jewery stores is really
exquisite. Not every woman can afford
a buckle, a pendant or chain wrought
by Salique, or even by one of the lesser
masters of the art, but one can find for
comparatively small sum jewelry that is
artistically lovely. The Celtic Jewelry, so
called because the originators resorted to
carvings upon the roadside crosses and
monuments found wherever the Celts had
passed-ls charming in form and colorlng.
The Illuminated missals and Bibles of
early days. also have furnished designs for
these ornaments, and the semi-precious
stones have been united with the various
shades In metals into beautiful color
schemes.
The fattened and twisted dull silver
and gold bands Of the settings hold cabo-
chon stones, dull pink or green tourma-
lines. turquoise matrix. Mexican fire opals
or opal matrix, beryls, amethyst, chryso-
prase Jade. malachite Hatpins, necklets,
pendants, brooches, buckles, etc. are made
in these Celtic designs. and outside of
this class are hundreds Of odd and beau
tiful designs, carried out In the same fine
metal work and semi-precious stones. Some
of these ornaments are shown In the H.
lustration.
Some very odd and attractive rings are
also to be had In this jewelry. and II one
desires, unset stones can be bought and set
to order for finger rings. One very stun
ming little finger ring made in this way
was carved malachite scarab stone. set
In heavy snake seal ring. from which
the center had to be cut to accommodate

was one with very large oblong square

design being a carved lion on either side.

Fall and Spring each year brings Its
quota of weddings. and as November is q
favorite month for nuptial events, discus
sions of trousseau frocks, bridal gowns
and bridesmaids costumes are in order.
Usually the bride has the responsibility
of selecting the material and designs for
the frocks of her bridesmaids and her
maid of honor, and 1t Is often rather u
difficult problem to select a color and de-
sign that will be becoming to each Of the
attendant maids. Often a style of cos

9ective, will not be becoming to the maids
individually and thus In selecting the
costumes the general style, coloring and

cautious investor.
A guaranteed stock may be either COM

ing that the dividend Is guaranteed by
something tangible. Usually this guar

or corporation for the stock of some con-
Germ that IL has made subsidiary to 1t.
In many states this sort Of stock is ex-

Guaranteed stock Is generally the issue
of some company-usually small rail-
road-which has become necessary and
essential part of a great system. These
small roads often hold the key to great

Trade Talks.
The Musician.

Music Is either a trade or an art, but
II Is from the trade standpoint that the
Young man, who has musical ability,
must look upon his future In this field
and toward the livelihood 1t promises.
i'What future does 1t hold for the
Young man?'' was put to one Of the
highest officials Of the American Federa-
tlon of Musicians. he is not cynio,
rather a whoe-soued exemplar Of a God
given art, yet discerning man. he an
swered:
UNLESS the young man Is prodigy,
either as a composer or instrumentalist,
land mark you, admiring friends label
ms a genius every graduate of con-
servatoryD, unless he has social connec-
tions ready made or has the faculty to
make them proftnbly, music must neces-
sarily remain to him a trade. and
taking the country as an average-it will
not rank with that of the ordinary ar
tlsan as a means of making living!
This opinion, which is founded on
economic facts, does not presume to
touch upon the realm of art. The same
indictment-from the monetary stand
point might be made against painting,
vet the devotees, who are actuated by
the divine affiatus, do not give such sor-
did things a thought. This deals with
music as means of livelihood.
Wages for musicians as existing today,
with exceedingly few exceptions are ex-
actly as they were twenty-five years ago,
though every other trade has progressed
financially. Outside Of the large cen
tres, such as New York, where a mini
mum scale of Sh performance Is OBJ
tained by the average musician, the wage
runs to half that sum and even less. OF
theatres, the vaudeville playhouses pay
the best wages, inasmuch as the men are
constantly In action to play accompani-
matte entertainment, pay the worst
$500 weekly for a season Of 30 weeks
being fair average for the country,
this including rehearsals. Musicians
whether violinist or base drummer are
paid the same,--except by private ar
rangement with the manager based on
the personal equation.
The concert bands and symphony or
chestras pay for men on the first stand
or row from $4,000 week down, second
stand" $4,000 down. and the outer rim
of musicians much less. This, however,
fs a matter of individual contract based
on reputation and art
The number of hotels and restaurants
that aim at fair grade of music Is in
creasing-and they are naturally opening
field for more musicians. Receptions
and balls, on the contrary, are not SO nu-
merous. The appreciation Of real music
Is growing-the bright horizon of the
musician who pursues this calling as a
trade.

life He soon began training and driv-

seeing many seconds clipped off the
