IDEA FOR TABLE DECORATION.
Floral Harmony Adds Greatly to the
General Effect.

When one Is using a special flower
for the decoration of the table at for
NAL luncheon or dinner it is artistic to
have the same flowers used as a gar
nlsh for as many Of the dishes as pos
sible.
Thus, if one has daisies and ferns in
the center Of the table have the lamp
shades of green paper, cut in narrow
frond-like pieces to represent ferns.
Serve the oysters in their shells
with a wreath OF ferns around the out
side and lemon nesting in a bed of
daisies in the center
Irvine the stems OF sherbet glasses
in maidenhair, If it can be done just
before sending to the table, otherwise
il will be too wilted.
If you have grape fruit served In
glasses have them standing in a
wreath of daisies, with ferns on the
stems. Or, If the half fruit is served
let the edge of the plate be wreathed
with u mixed wreath of ferns and
daisies.
The ices should be nodded in the
form OF daisies, If you care to go tc
the expense, and should have touch
of pistache in them to represent the
green.
If you do not use nodded ices, ther
they will look we'll served in boxes II
the form of paper daisies or covered
with real ferns.
The place cards can be a painted
bunch of the flowers, cut out so they
can be slipped on the top of the COB
let.
The candy and small cakes shout,
| be green and white, and if the dime
is elaborate enough to give souvenir
you might have the floral centerpiece
arranged in separate punches o
daisies and ferns that can be given t.

The Funny Things One Sees
By
MARSHALL p. WILDER

To one accustomed only to Atlantic
travel the element Of novelty begins
at once on a Pacific steamer. Instead
of SNUG English stewards. neat Chi
nameu in spotless linen gowns of
blue, long cues, immaculate white
stockings, and the broadcast Of smiles
fly uimbly about carrying baggage or
waiting on passengers with most
cheerful disparity.
The Chinese stewards interested us
sailing from San Francisco, we de-
seconded to luncheon, we saw them in
new way. The long tables In the
saloon were laid out inyitingly with
massive silver and piles of fruit
around which the neat boys whisked
making an attractive picture. Here we
received our first introduction to the
far.ramed 'pidgin English" which we
had previously conceived to be very
largely Pigment of the story-teller's
braiu. 1t was to be later impressed
upon us how universal the use of 1t is,
from San Francisco right through to
Ceylon, wherever the Chinese coolie
lives and moves and has his being.
la the dining saloon the boys wore
long gowns of blue linen, shiny with
starch. high cuffs over their sleeves,
and each smooth and jeJty cue fin
ished at the end with silk tassel,
neatly tucked through little strap
at the side OF the gown This is to
keep 1t from slipping over the Shout
der when stopping over the tables.
When at hard or outdoor work, q
Chiuaman will twist his cue up like

fore superior with the cue bound
up, Foreigners In many cases do not
know this. and the Chinaman. who
instinctiyely hates all foreigners,
will often resort to this method of In
sutlng them, taking deal of comfort
out OF 1t. even though the foreigner
may be In blissful ignorance OF the In
teaded disrespect.
Some of the dining-saloon boys had
been In the service long enough to
speak aud understand English very
welt: with others it was necessary to
resort to the 'pidgin" dialect which is
ridiculous hybrid OF hair ak
broken. or rather mangled, English
and few stray Chinese words
It was my luck to draw waiter

A Iiuht Collar

There is nothing which gives
greater discomfort than a tight collar
and one frequently finds new linen
one trifie small after it is Numbered.
Small white rings can be sewed on the
back and ribbon run through them and
tied, making a neat finish, or ribbons
can be sewed on the ends of the col.
lar and tied. Four eyelets worked in
the ends of the collar and threaded
with ribbon will make neat finish.

When Husbands Tire of Kissing

When q wife discovers that her hus-

only for few moments or it may be

Esthetlc Side of Cookery.

The object Of cooking is not merely

Value of Work.

Work Is the true friend and con

even the deepest griefs give way for
