oRsERvANT PEOPLE ARE JAPs.
Trouble Is They Are Liable to Carry
II to Extremes.

The japanese are a most initiative
and observant people and copy every.
thing they see with minute fidelity. A
Newport man recently engaged a
japanese valet, who was very atten-
tive and satisfactory.
His duties rarely took him into the
kitchen, but when he had chance
of watching the cook he did so with
extraordinary interest.
The cook caught a severe chill and
left somewhat suddenly The lady
OF the house was in despair, as she
could not replace her.
At last the valet announced diff
IDENTIFY that he thought he could cook a
little and the mistress gladly agreed
20 give him a trial.
The first thing he started on was
the potatoes. He took off his shoes
and socks and put his feet in a bath
of hot mustard and water.
The lady wanted to know what on
earth he was doing. He replied that
he saw the cook do that when she
was peeling the potatoes, and nothing
would persuade him that this was not
q necessary part of tie process.

A Practical Use OF Ribbon.

Warranted to weather all sorts OF
weather is a simple yet effective rib
bon trimming which is entirely new
this year. The graceful Janet" hat In
to-day's illustrations shows this UNI
usual mode of trimming. Yards and
yards of threeinch satin ribbon, edged
at one side with pliable wire, are
massed into full rosette. Still more
yards are arranged in tapping folds
around the crown. Even with the
lavish amount of ribbon employed,
such a hat would prove quite inexpen-
sive and be both practical and attrac-
tive for runabout wear
