GOOD TABLE MANNERS.

Never take your seat until tine lady
sf the house is seated.
Never play with your knives, forks or
glasses. but cultivate repose at the
table.
Never tuck your napkin into your
yoke or collar. 1t should be unfolded
once and laid across the knees without
a flourish After the meal, at a restau-
at your place. If you are a time guest
in the household and win remain an
othef meal. you may fold the napkin In
its original creases.
Never put the end OF a spoon into
your mouth, sip everything from the
side OF the spoon and do this noise
lessly.
Never put your knife in your mouth
nor use spoon when a fork will serve.
Forks are now used for eating ice
cream, and salad is folded or cut with
the side of fork, never with the knife.
Even small vegetables. like peas, are
eaten with fork.
Never hold your knife and fork up In
the air when your host Is serving you
afresh. Lay them on one side OF the
plate when you send Il to the host by
servant or your neighbor at table.
Never leave your spoon In coffee or
tea cup. Lay It on the saucer.
Never make yourself conspicuous in
any way by aiding the host or hostess
In serving, unless especially asked to
do so, or In passing dishes when serv-
ants are provided for that purpose.
Never push back your plate and fin
ger crumbs at the end OF the meal. II
indicates undue haste.

1t was Tuesday evening that Mrs.
Kemball and her daughter joined us on
the promenade, and weary, at last, of
Strauss waltzes, Sousa marches, we
sauntered away towards the bow of the
ooat, where the noise from the orches-
ira could reach US only in far away
snatches. We found a seat in the
shadow of the wheelhouse and sat for
long time talking of many things,
watching the moonlight across the wa
ter At last we arose to return, and
Royce and Mrs. Kemball started or
ahead, after habit they had fallen in

was our juniors doing. .. f..

sprung suddenly forward with sharp
cry of alarm.
''Mr Royce!" she cried. Mother"
They stopped and turned toward her,
lust as heavy spar crashed to the
deck before them.

VOGUE OF JAPANESE.

Whether Madame Butterfly has been
responsible for Ii or not, many of the
late styles are distinctly Japanese in
effect. Kimona sleeves, Mandarin hats
mikado capes. and square oriental lines
in general. are to be the years fayorits
models for both street and dressier
gowns. In fact they are so surely TAX

but that they viii be good for several
seasons to come. "s
Things Japanese. art work and de-
signs, have since the Russia Japan
war gained a wonderful hold even In
America, and now that the artistic little
Japanese stories and dramas are touch
ing the hearts Of the American people
so strongly every little characteristic
act and costume is being initiated in
this country, with decidedly good effect
for Americans realize Just how far this
initiating should be carried.
American women would look no bet
ter in regular Japanese costume than
the average Jap woman does in an
American street suit. II is the one
place where the little woman of the
orient is at a disadvantage. She does
not appreciate the fact that she might
choose some OF the American styles
with impunity, IL she were only bet
ter able to discriminate as to what Is
apt to be becoming to her particular
type. But she Is not. She puts on the
ready made costumes Of an American
retail store, has 1t fitted and salliea
forth an incongruous little figure lack
ing all OF her former characteristic
charm. The American woman is wiser
She suggests rather than copies. Shs
combines the styles OF the orient and
those of her own country and the re.
suit is both fascinating and unique.
The loose flowing kimona sleeve
that is so becoming to the little Jap
must be greatly modified when built
into an American gown. The linel
must, be shortened and changed and
the colors subdued, IL they are to lool
like anything at all. The same is true
Of the mikado style of sleeve, while

Blood GETS Sour.

At this time of year, says a we'll
known authority, the Kidneys become
weak, clogged and inactive, failing to
filter out the poisons and acids, which
sour the blood, causing not only fa-
cial and bodily eruptions, but the
worst forms of Rheumatism, Nervous
and Stomach troubles, Backache and
painful, annoying Urinary affiictlons-
1t Is worth any ones time now to
get from some good prescription phar-
macy the following ingredients: Fluid
Extract DandeliOn, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
round Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking well in bot
tie and take in teaspoonful doses after
your meals and at bedtime.
This simple homemade mixture will
force the Kidneys to normal, healthy
action, so they will filter and strain all
uric acid and poisonous waste matter
from the blood, and expel this Ia the
urine, at the same time restoring the
"full blood countp--that Is, 95 per cent
red blood corpuscles-which Is abso-
lutely Indispensable to perfect health.

"B. p. Hutchinson used to say no

Il remained for Chief Simon O'Donnell
to put one over on the famous trader.
You know. Mr.. Hutchinson was fa-
NOUS In Chicago's commercial life years
ago and was known popularity as Old
Hutch He prided himself on the fact
that burglars had never gotten into
his house. and often boasted OF the
fact TO his intimates One day. while
he was at lunch with Chief O'Donnell
and o. number OF other friends. the
company fell to discussing crime that
had been committed the night before.
I'd like TO see anybody get into my
house. Mr.. Hutchinson said. Why, I
hear every tick OF the clock all night
|" TIL bet you dinner for this crowd
said the chief. that / can produce a
man who will enter your house and
YOU will not know OF his visit till
morning..
"Mr. Hutchinson accepted the wager.
and II was agreed that he was to let
the chief have latch key so that the
burglar could get in without being dis
turbed by some patrolman. Mr.. Hutch
inson also agreed to leave some article
OF value In the parlor where 1t could
be found readily. The chief said the
robbery would be committed within the
following week.
Three days later Mr.. Hutchinson
awoke I'm the morning and discovered
that both sheets of his bed which had
been In place when he retired. were
gone, So was the antique gold clock
he had left on mantel He hurriedly
dressed and hastened after breakfast
TO the chiefs office. O'Donnell saw him
coming. and, as he entered the office,
greeted him with:

criminal who at the time had reformed

rolled the sheet after him and then
rolled him back"

Of residents Of New York city who are

were not ready to quit without a fight.
and an Improvement society was
formed which consulted with my Office
and followed my advice. In one year
the bulk OF the breeding area was
drained, mosquitoes have since been
absent almost entirely; one gentleman.
not a large owner, either, told me his
property had increased $50,000 in value,

EVEN If DISCOURAGED
THY Or. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS
FOR YOUR RHEUMATISM.
The PILE Havo Ccrod The Disease In
Almost Every Form and Even In
Advances Staues,

4 Rheumatism is a painful inflamma
lion OF the muscles or of the coverings
of the joints and is sometimes accom-
panied by swelling. The pain is sharp
and shooting and does not confine itself
ito any one part of the body, but after
settling in ono joint or muscle for O.
time, leaves it and passes on to another.
The most dangerous tendency Of tho
disease is to attack the heart. External
applications may give relief from pain
for time but the disease cannot be
cured until the blood is purified. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are the best medi-
cine for this purpose as their action Is
directly on the blood, making it rich,
red and healthy. When the blood Is
pure there can be no rheumatism.
Mrs. Ellen A. Russell, of South GofP
ST., Auburn, Me-, says: "I had been
sick for fifteen years from impure blood,
brought on by Overwork. My heart was
weak and my hands colorless. I was
troubled with Indigestion and vomiting
spells, which came on every few months.
4 had no appetite and used to have awful
fainting spells, falling down when at
my work. / frequently felt numb all
over. Ny head ached continuously for
I've years. .
About two years ago began to feel
heumatisIn in my joints, which became
% lame could hardly walk. My joints
we're swollen and panied me terribly.
.'Dr. Williams Pink Pills were rec
commended to me by o friend, after had
failed to get well from the doctors
treatment. When / began taking the
pills, the rheumatism was at its worst.
i had taken only q few boxes, when the
headaches stopped and not long after
ward / felt the pain In my joints be-
coming less aud less, until there was
mono at all. The stiffness was gone and
have never had any return of the rheu-
uatism."
DR.. williams Pink Pills have cured
such diseases as nervous and general
debility, indigestion, nervous headache,
neuralgia and even partial paralysis and
locomotor ataxia. As tonic for the
blood and nerves they are unequalled.

CAN WOMEN APPRECIATE A
CLUB?
From the Harper's Weekly.

From the Harper'S Weekly.
A woman's club has been opened in
New York In a beautiful house that
has been built for it, and with a care
fully selected membership. There is a
good deal of discussion whether Ii will
succeed. Most of the successful clubs
in New York are maintained largely by
the contributions of men who very sell
dom use them. 1t is argued that wom-
en- are more thrifty than men, and will
not long go on paying for the main
tenance OF anything that they do not
use; that they will not use their club
much: and that presently they will let
1t fail. But how much viii they use Il :?
The mems clubs are most valuable to
the unmarried men and to men who
stay in town in summer and work while
their families go out OF town. These
men are the chief patrons of the club
restaurants. A woman's club would
hardly get patronage comparable TO
what these unattached men furnish to
the mems clubs. Women are not at all
likely to crowd a club dining room in
the evening at any time in the year.
They would be much more likely to
lunch in their club sometimes, and the
membership OF such an organization as
this new Colony club must include
many ladies who live within easy reach
of town in summer, and who will find
club a convenient place to go to at
midday when they come into town In
summer when their town houses are
closed. That sort Of patronage is tho
mainstay of a very successful ladies'
club in Philadelphia which has long
since passed the experimental stage
and has come to be substantial insti-
tuition. We do not think the new Col
ony club will fail. There Is plenty OF
money back OF 1t and uses enough for
It to warrant It's maintenance But IL
will have to be kept up, like most OF
the other clubs, chiefly by the dues OF
persons who very seldom use 1t.
