Service Plates.

Service plates" are those used on
luncheon and dinner tables between
courses.
The old-fashioned way was when a
person had finished eating from a
plate 1t was removed and the place
before them left empty until another.
containing the next course, was put
before them.
Service plates fill the gap. and it
is not considered good form ever to
leave a place without a plate. The
butler or maid, as he or she takes
away the plate with which one is fin
ished, puts down an empty one. usual
ly of very fancy kind. This remains
until the next course is served to each
person. The service plate is then
taken up and returned at the next in
terval.
Service plates are on the table at
the beginning of luncheon or dinner,
and at that time the napkin is folded
on them.
They may be of medium size or
large, preferably the latter.

BUYING PAINT eLINpLY.

Many people look upon paint buy
ing as lottery and so 1t is, the way
they do 1t. 1t is not necessarily SO,
however. Pure White Lead and lin
seed oil are the essential elements of
good paint. Adulterants in white lead
can be easily found by the use of
blowpipe. Authorizations in linseed oil
can be detected with fair degree of
certainty. See that these two clements
are pure and properly pat on and the
paint will stay put.
National Lead Company. Wood
bridge, Building, New York City. will
send a blowpipe outfit and instruc-
lions for testing both white lead and
linseed oil, on request.

An Enterprisine Salesman.

On the tenth anniversary of his
wedding, merchant in Washington
was approached by book agent who
offered for inspection a varied assert
ment of books, particularly dwelling
on the beauty and value of a new edi-
ton of the Bible. He said:
81 have been told that this Is your
wedding anniversary, and you could
make no better present to your wife
than a family Bible, and this splendid
edition which sells for SIS at retail
I am now able to offer to you for $40
spot cash."
He made the sale. giving a beauti-
full imitation morocco case. which he
claimed was genuine. Then he has
tened to the home of the merchant,
and, using the same argument, induced
the wife to buy another edition OF
the family Bible as an appropriate wed
ding present for her husband.
When they exchanged presents that
evening, there was quite commotion
in the home, and the husband was be-
side himself with rage, forgetting that
both of those Bibles contained the In
junction: LET not the sun go down
upon thy wrath" Being unable to go
downtown, he telephoned to a friend
to go to the station, and bring that
agent to the house without fail. The
friend FASTENED to the depot, caught
the book agent, delivered the message
and insisted upon the agent delaying
his departure. The willy fellow. full of
business, replied:
81 offered him a copy OF this Bible
for $40 and he put 1t off for the time,
l am very sure that he has repented
and wants copy as a wedding present
for his wife. He has undoubtedly told
her of the bargain, and she wants 1t.
cannot remain over, however. for one
sale, but You can take it to him, and
he will be delighted, and will forever
thank you for having overtaken me.
The price is only $40. and you had bet
ter take it to him, as his wife is prob
ably crazy to get it."
The friend paid the $40 and took the
Bible home to his anxious friend; and.
what then happened and what was said
would not be proper to print.

Fine damask deliberately inset with
Irish and Cluny lace is now very
smart for the luncheon and dinner
table. Embroidered dinner cloths have
been attempted from time to time. but
have never found much favor. but a
luncheon cloth or large center piece.
stretching just to the border of the
table and heavily embroidered in all
white with deep border of Irish lace
all round. is most effective. By some.
however. the very finest of linen. quite
plain. is preferred to the more effec-
tive but scarcely more costly cloths
heavily embroidered and trimmed with
bands of lace.
The so-called bare luncheon tables
are still more fashionable than those
covered with long cloth. no matter
how costly the linen may be. The cen
ter piece may be sufficiently large to
stretch almost to the edge of the round
table, but it is laid directly over the
mahogany or oak so as to show to
best advantage the beauties Of the lace
and embroidery. Colored satin and
silk foundations are frequently seen,
but just as often the center piece is
placed directly upon the wood.
Ribbon is used but seldom nowadays
for table decorations, and. in ract, the
desire seems to be to get away from
any crowded appearance. Even on a
fairly large dinner table the only flow
ers will be in the huge silver or gold
basket in the center of the table,
while the shades on the candle sticks
and candelabra may bear out the color
of the flowers, although plain silver
and gold shades are also frequently
used.
The large silver flower baskets are
comparatively new, being shaped like
the regular fat wicker basket with the
rack inside. through which each flower
Is inserted separately and kept in

Polished Table.

Sometimes there are ways of doing
things that are SO simple that we for
get to employ them. Here is an in
stance: The polished mahogany dining
table is source of some anxiety and
care in many households. An easy
matter 1t is to keep it bright and I'M
spotted II, after each meal. you wash
1t with cold water. using a sponge;
then dry and rub briskly. This keeps
the table top clear and bright and
free from that greasy look that we
often see upon tables in even we'll
regulated households.
White spots sometimes appear upon
the polished surface of furniture. Just
remember that you can readily re-
move such a spot by rubbing with a
cloth moistened with alcohol. This
will not mar the finish of the wood.

What to Wear.

Fair women who flush easily should
avoid light blue. more especially for
evening gowns, and the woman of In
definite coloring should never wear
black velvet, while she of brilliant
complexion and decided features Will
probably look splendid in it. Then,
again, the dullness of chiffon is try
ing to some and the sheen of satin to
others. The only way to come to a
decision in these matters (and once

as a year efforts were being made in

previous the Parisians had used the
flowers cut from cretonne, framed in
embroidery or lace, as a decoration

There is no doubt that cretonne
used on certain cotton and linen or
other fabrics of that order, if the
material be plain. is effective and ex-
elusive. but on other materials, espe-
ciaily the silks and velvets and the
gauzy stuffs. cretonne ornaments,

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature and woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days OF
our grandmothcrs they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia L. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and eilica-
cious than any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. ST.,
Louisiana, Mo, writes:
"Complete restoration TO health
means SO much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women / am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years / bad been suffer
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time I had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times
could hardly walk. About two years
ago 1 wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
| followed it, and can truly say that
lydia l., Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinl<ham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia L. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women.

To Clean a Fan,

To clean a fan place 1t in dish and

Press tightly until the dirt comes out,
and a fan certainly collects great
deal OF dust. After freeing 1t from dust
and all blemishes put 1t into clean gas

of white cloth, pin the two points to
stretch the material. and let 1t dry.
After 1t has thoroughly dried, cover
with talcum powder. highly scented.
and leave for one day. This destroys
the odor of gasoline and makes the
