For a cold Dutch dinner for a hot
summer night place upon polished
table large lace centerpiece and un-
der each plate place dolly to match.
In the middle of the table put boat
or shoe of Dresden china filled with
blue corn flowers. Use glass candle
sticks with white candles and blue
and white empire shades, blue and
white Dresden china, and cut glass,
when it is needed. Use as little silver
as possible in serving. The place
cards are blue and white windmills
with the name on the upright arm of
paddle. A blue and silver fan, swung
by white ribbons from the back OF
each lady's chair is dainty and ac-
ceptable souvenir, while at each mans
plate dainty bunch of corn flowers

A Curtain Effect.

A pretty way to arrange bedroom
window curtains is this: The upper
sash is hung with a dainty lowered
muslin, and the lower with a fllmy
madras. Both are simple sash cur
tains and thus will be easily launder-
ed. The colored curtain is protected
from the light by the shade, which
is usually drawn to the middle of
the window For this reason the
colored curtain will not be liable to
fade.
The colored curtain is much pret-
tier If ruffied with white. This
scheme gives charming touch OF
color at the windows, but admits of
the use of the sash curtain as a
screen for the lower part. of the win.
