ART OF TABLE
 DECORATION

The hostess should bear in mind that as rule the more ornamental the form of the vase the less suitable it is for table decoration. If she uses vases of special design and color she should see that they conform to the size of the other objects to be used on the table.
 There are many very beautiful forms Of vases suitable for the dinner table, but flowers generally look better when arranged in glass than in vases made of ether material. Sort the flowers ae- cordng to size, the largest flowers to be used at the base in the lowest re- ceptable, and the medium sized flowers in the center, while the smallest and liqhtest flowers should be arranged in the highest or top receptacle.
 A few medium sized flowers placed among the lighter ones will give strength and quality to the apex, If a few of the lghtest flowers be mingled with the larger ones, especially at the l base. where the largest blooms are, the general appearance will be greatly irn- proved, and the whole be given light and graceful effect.
 Flowers should also De socted accord trg to form and color. Similar forms should be used together, as they group much. better than flowers of mixed forms. Choose colors 4ither 10 harmon | ize or to contrast well, putting the darker shades below ar.l the lighter ones above. Sometimes small flowers of a dark shade. arrl1S9d In a bold mass at the base look well With larger and lighter colored flowers abtve them.
 The hostess should remember that some kinds of flowers. while beautiful in a daylight decoration, aie an utter ta lure under an artificial light, while others that are not over pleasing ir daylight are very effective under arti- hcial light.
 l Yellow flowers of nv rhade, for in- stance. are very effostive by daylight l but rnder light they arg much paler some of the lighter varieties or shades appearing white, or almost white Flowers of bright hues, however, such as bright shades of pink crimson ol red, always look well under any light Light blue or mauve does not light III very well, yet shades of purple art {. very effective

Prevent Colds.

This is the time of year to take cold and wise mothers will see that the chil- dren have underolothing shade heavi- CT than that worn in summer. Beware of drafts, as cold taken at this time of year is hard to get rid of.
 Women with short-sleeved coats left over from last spring styles will have much planning to do to make them full length and on the mannish order although much can be done by piecing beneath straps or braid and matching the cloth for an un- der arm section where the difference will not be very noticeable.

Care of Kid Boots.

To prevent kid boots from becoming hard and stiff after they have been wet, they must first be rubbed with a soft cloth immediately after removing them from the feet, and while still damp kerosene oil should be rubbed in well with piece of flannel, repeating this treatment again when the first ap- plication is nearly dry. Then put the boots in warm place, where the dry ing operation can be finished gradually but before doing so put in well-fitted shoe trees. Before wearing them rut over once more with little kerosene and then apply a good kid polish.

Mahogany Furniture.

A dealer in furniture says that this season mahogany is more popular than it has been in thirty years, especially in dining and bedroom sets and for halls and vestibules and living rooms. The Colonial period leads, with the Georg- ian period second. There Is httle differ ence between them in looks,
 "The Cromwellian period comes third" said the dealer. Tn this the columns are serpentine and brass knobs are used instead of glass Heavy and simple, either of these is handsomer in mahogany than in almost any other wood. At any rate at present we are sending out uncommonly large orders of mahogany of high grade

Placing the sink in front of win dow helps to make the routine work of washing pens and kettles less like drudgery. So secure an architectur- al effect for the exterior of a house this pleasure of an outlook is often thoughtlessly taken away from the Kitchen.

Cleaning Cut Glass.

Antique cut glass requires special handling if the brilliancy of the glass is to be retained and the ordinary pe- riodical wash in hot soapsuds which is usually meted out to the contents of the china and glass cupboard--is not sufficient Only tepid water should be used to clean the articles, a lather being made on a stiff brush with good soap and this should be worked into the design so as to clear the interstices of dust, the glass be- ing then immediately enveloped in sawdust, absorbing all the damp. Finally cloth should be used to give a polish.

Soap Bubble Water.

When preparing soapsuds for a soap bubble party the hostess added a little glycerin, to the water, which made the bubbles last longer and grow to a larger size than when soap and water are used alone. One tea spoonful of glycerin to about two cups of water is the right proportion.

CHOICE RECEIPTS
Delectable Dishes to Tempt Most Particular
 PaIates.

One of the most popular ways to serve tomatoes is to form them into cups and fill these with some appetiz- ing combination. To make the cups select small, round tomatoes, peel them and cut slice from the stem end of each and scoop out the cerl- ters, leaving a 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 filling. This sauce Is made of a tablespoonful of lemon juice, half as much olive oil, stoned olive, 8 few tarragon leaves, and if desired bit of fine chopped chives. Oysters or shrimps can also be serv- ed in these cups. Put six clams in each cup and pour over them ta- blespoonful of the following sauces Two tablespoonfuls each of mush- room catsup and lemon juice, five drops of tabasco sauce pinch of salt, and two tablespoonfuls of to- mato catsup Cook, shell and ice shrimps and put two tablespoonfuls in each cup, with sauce in proportion, Tor effect, wreathe each cup with a garland of parsley
 Potato Soufle--Mash six fine boil ed potatoes while hot, and whip into them tablespoonful of butter, pep per and salt to taste, a half cupful of rich milk eff you can make it half cream, all the better), and when you have beaten these ingredients to a. cream, add the whites of three eggs whipper to a stiff froth.
 Turn into buttered deep dish aMd bake in a quick oven until puffy and lightly browned. Send to table at once, as it soon falls
 Potato Souffle With Cheese--Make as in last recipe, but whip in at the 4 last two great spoonfuls of dry cheese, grated fine.
 Sift cheese over the top when it has been in the oven ten minutes.
 If you can get Parmesan cheese, 1t is best for this dish. Serve immedi- ately.
 Eggs With Cheese Spread the bot tom of a flat dish with fresh butter (one-half teaspoon to an egg), cover l with grated cheese in same propor- ton, break whole eggs upon the cheese and season each with dash of pepper and saltspoonful of salt. Pour a little cream on the surface of the eggs, strew with grated cheese and set the eggs in q moderate oven for about ten minutes. (Good House skeeping)
 Dumplings-The following recipe has been given before, but is so simple
 and good that 1t may bear repetition. To each cupful of flour mixed with one teaspoonful of making powder ] and one-half teaspoonful of salt add one scant cupful of milk Drop by
 spoonfuls into the stew just before serving, keep closely covered and cook steadily for ten minutes. These ..-- T. - n '. =.

 MIDDLE AGE.
 The fabby throat that is such give away to the woman who has past her first youth, whether she wants people to know it or not, can be overcome by systematic exercise. The muscles of the neck get soft from lack of use, as do all the other muscles of the body, but will respond to treatment rather more quickly than some of the others. There is nothing better to restore this firm ness than to practice the rotary motion of the head many times day. This should not be done jerxily, but with slow, even movements, letting the head fall as far to the front and sides as possible. If done rapidly or too con- tinuously at first there will be a sense of dizziness which Is most annoying.

NERVOUS WOMAN
IS NOT INSANE
Lunacy Commission Orders Release of
Mrs. Mccormick, but Friends
Must Care for Her During
Illness

Mrs. Jennie Mccormick, arrested Sat-
urday night on a warrant charging her
with insanity, was yesterday released
by the insanity commission after ex-
animation upon the promise of friends
to take care of her until her health had
improved.
Mrs. Mccormick is said to be suffer-
ing with extreme nervousness and dur
ing an alteration with her relatives
Friday afternoon she became excited
and is said to have made such peculiar
statements that one of them sWore to
warrant for her arrest on the insan-
ity charge and she was taken in GUS
tody.
Her son Immediately entered the field
in her behalf, alleging that there was
conspiracy to defraud his mother of her
property.
Yesterday the property proved to be
the hoped for allowance from a big
estate which was said to be already
covered and plastered over with mort
cages.
The argument between the members
of the family having resulted in the
womans arrest, all those concerned
were compelled TO come to court.
Yesterday the relatives stated that
Mrs. Mccormick was i'll and suffering
from delusions relative to the amount
of money she had. She stated that she
was not i'll and that she had no delu-
s1ons and after examination the court
ruled that Mrs. Mccormick was not in
sane. but in such nervous condition
that she ought to be taken care of for
a while by some of her relatives and
an order was made to that effect.

M|LKMEN EXPLAIN
BROKEN RULES
Board of Health Stops Sale of Goods
at Several Diaries Because the
inspection Laws Are Ig=
nored

Because of the washout in Meadow
valley wash, Nevada, which crippled
the Salt Lake system for time, the
Crescent Creamery company on Win
ston street was obliged to make ex-
plantations before the board of health
yesterday.
Two carloads of machinery side
tracked because of the rebuilding of the
washed-out road bed has just arrived
here for the creamery plant. Milk In
spector Reed got there little ahead of
the machinery and wanted to know why
this and that was done contrary to the
milk rules. Lack of this machinery
was the answer.
Manager Carver explained that with
in five days the carpenters, machinists
and painters now at work would have
the Encouragement of the plant done
and then there will be no further cause
for criticism.
At Mayor Harper's suggestion and
with the consent of all of the board
except DR.. Moore-who is holding to an
ironclad policy that only the strictest
rules should exist and be enforced in
connection with the milk supply-the
company was given five days in which
to finish the interior changes.
Several other milk firms were yester-
day given notice to stop selling milk
because screens had not been intro
duced, another violation of the laws.

BOARD REFUSES
HOSPITAL PLAN
NEIGHBORS OPPOSE PROPOSED
SANITA9lUM
Second Ward Delegation SWoops Down
on Health Officers, Who Refuse
Permit Before Women Can
Protest

Women of West Temple street,
aroused to save their homes, yesterday
appeared before the board of health to
oppose granting of a permit to a hos
pital for tubercular patients proposed
at 2641 West Temple street. Before
they had chance to be heard the
board of health unanimously voted to
withhold such a permit.
o. E. Eckstrom asked for the permit
last week, he having had the old Hol-
lom house, a landmark, remodeled for
the purpose. The board scented pro-
tests and laid the application over till
yesterday.
DR.. Moore of the board, who is a resi-
dent of the Second ward, in which the
institution was to have been estab-
lished. took up the cudgel for the wo-
men present, though he did not know
what their mission was. He said that
since the oil wells and derricks had
been moved out of the Second ward a
new era had dawned there, streets were
being made and buildings erected, and
to build such a place as proposed in
such a neighbrhood would depreciate
property values and work irreparable
harm. Such a sanatarium should be
away from homes and have big
grounds, he said.
The motion to refuse permission to
establish such an institution was quick
ly put and carried, whereupon Mayor
Harper asked the fair contingent If the
board could be of service to them.
Cheers and thanks greeted his query
after the vote was announced.
Mrs. 3. H. Sears of All Tanning
street said the board had done just what
the delegation wanted and it only re-
mained to express thanks.
Mrs. NJ. r. Egbert Of 2702 Temple
street said she understood that plumb
ing at the place was connected with old
wells on the premises, which in itself
constituted a menace. Health officer
Powers was instructed to send an in
spector there to see if this was the case.
Mrs. J. Schmidt of 2735 Temple street,
an energetic little woman who for days
has worn off her shoe soles, she says,
getting petitions signed, added a bit of
testimony.
Mrs. B. Hungerford of 1927 Santee
street and her daughter, Mrs. V. Lerche
of 1863 North Occidental boulevard, were
on hand with the professors. as were
Mesdames T. H. Poulson of 2730 Tenn
pie street, E. S. Bindley of 333 North
Tanning and F. A. Sutherland of 442
Bryan.
