a GeooraphicaI Table.

Two circular tables are prettiest fer
supper to round out a frolic. Instead
of the conventional white cloth, covers
are especially made of pale blue silesia.
These covers are painted to represent
the eastern and western hemispheres.
For centerpiece have a tall fagpole
wound with ivy or smilax, surmounted
by an American flag.
So far as is consistent with appetiz-
ing qualities. the supper menu can in
clude the products and national dishes
Of all the nations Of the globe. A sug-
gestion for such a bill Of fare would
be:
English beef soup. French bread (the
yardstick sort, Hungarian steamed
chicken, rice Japanese style). creamed
Spanish chestnuts. Russian salad,
Swiss cheese, toasted English muffins,
Arabian coffee, English plum puddings
GndividuaD, neapolitan Ice cream,
Scotch molasses cakes, Turkish fig
paste. Brazi! nuts and Malaga grapes.
After supper the national hymns and
songs of different nations should be
sung in chorus, with piano accompani-
nlent. ending. of course with THE Star
Spangled Banner" and America"

The Girl Described.

Men of all nations and all times nave
recorded their impressions of women,
but It has remained for the small boys
in q London public school to shed
new light upon the eternal feminine.
They were asked to write their i'm
pressions'' of girls, and little fellow
wrote the following bit: Girls are
very abundant in London. There is
lady near our house that has six girls.
Wherever l go nearly always see
girl" Another boy was inspired to the
following: Girls hair is aloud to grow
long. Girls hair grows quicker than
boys hair. Girls fight different to boys.
When boys hit girls they are towards;
when girls hit boys they are heroes.
When girls grow up they make friends
with the boys. Some girls have red
cheeks and ginger hair; all girls are
pretty, and as soon as girls are big
enough they marry" Still another
boy argued that girls are girls because
they can't be boys" and proved his
power of observation by setting forth
that "some girls have long hair in diff
ferent colors, most Of it light, which is
called blond"

a Couple of Cleaning Hints.

Knife cleaning may be made easier
by dipping a piece Of raw potato in
the securing material, rubbing with
that instead Of cloth. The juice Of
the potato is not only a good cleaner
in itself, but it keeps the securing
paste moist.
Tan leather bags may be cleaned by
rubbing on q thick layer Of pure white
soap. Apply with sponge, rub hard
and let lether remain on leather for 4
few minutes to soften grease. Rub
dry with clean piece of flannel. 10
avoid staining use no more water than
is necessary to make the lather.

To Serve With Salad.

Instead Of serving plain crackers and
cheese with salad, delicious substi,
tute may be used by preparing tiny
cheese and nut sandwiches.
Cut very thin and remove the crusts
Of brown or whole wheat bread.
Spread lightly with butter and lay on
each slice thin shaving Of cheese.
Cover the cheese closely with freshly
shelled black walnutS Sprin6led with
salt; then put another slice of the
cheese and buttered bread.
Cut the sandwiches either round or
in small diamonds or squares and press
slightly between weights to blend
them well together.

The pilnlly faced youth had thrown
a pop bottle at the umpire.
A policeman grabbed him by the col

his hat
Then he took tapeline from his

COLLAR N EYELET WORK.

search wildly through store after store
for material with stripes of just the

plan of all is to embroider the plain
linen or lawn to simulate the longed

broidered stripes are usually about
straw's width. although this is of
course a matter Of taste. They are
worked il solid satin stitch over bit
OF padding. The remaining features Of
the design are carried out In French
laid or solid work.. and in some in
stances eyelets are utilized to good eff
feet. The scallops are buttonholed in
the color appearing in the design
proper.
After working collars of this kind,
with the exception Of the scallops, it is
a good plan to baste them on lining
of lawn, which will add to their gen.
eral appearance as we'll as aid in pre-
serving their freshness and shape.
This lining needs to be basted securely
into position and must be placed so
that the weave in both pieces runs
alike. It is best to shrink both before
making up the collar if possible. The

A New Salad.

A new variation on the now familiar
Waldorf salad has been invented,
where the apple is peeled, cored and
cut in cross slices. One slice is laid
upon a few lettuce leaves on each plate,
and over it is put layer Of barleduc
and cream cheese. which has been put
through a potato masher. while around
the whole is arranged circle Of may
onnaise dressing. A prettier dish can
hardly be imagined. and, by the way,
the cheese is never so good as it Is
when used In this way or beaten up

PESTS or The SUMMER.

Is there any other feeling quite akin

and her hand. raised 90 strike, falls
upon thin air. while that same insidi-
Gus visitor sails of into space?

So with the advent of that first mis-
erable fiy of the season the irate house
keeper is for ordering Il ream or two OF
sticky fypaper. But it's a question as
to which is worse. flies or fypaper.
The dainty housekeeper who knows
how to conceal her housekeeping under
dainty devices SAYS Don't do it. have
mignonette instead" Flies hate migno-
nette and will not stay near it. Sow
the seeds right away. Keep pots in a
warm place. and the seeds will soon
sprout and bloom early. In the rooms
where there is plenty of mignonette
there will be few flies. Of course it
goes without saying that no device will
take the place Of screens.
One good way to keep the house free
from flies during the long hot summer
is to keep them from getting start In
the house In the spring. This naturally
means that the screens must be put up
early. The clear glass windows on a
bright spring day seem much more at
tractive without them, but the wise
housekeeper Will choose the lesser evil
to the greater and bring them out early
in the season.

Most attractive little towels are
shown In the shops measuring only
about twelve inches wide and sixteen

and they are far less trouble to have

ones.
In using towels of this sort it is not
necessary to have the coarse affairs
commonly placed in clubrooms, but

Alexandra's Boasts Boat Seat and Is
Altogether Cozy.
Within pleasant motor drive of
Sandringham is the beautiful stretch
OF lonely seashore to which Queen


Alexander is fond of vending her way
with a favorite friend. 1t is there that
her majesty is having erected modest
bungalow, whence it will be possible
even on rough and windy day to en-
joy the sea air and the fine sea views.
Both the queen and her sister, the
dowager empress Of Russia, have a
peculiar love of cliff and shore scenery,
and an attractive feature Of their joint
holiday home in Denmark is sandy
beach, where they often spend pleas
ant hours working and reading during
their autumn sojourn in their native
land.
One odd feature is the boat seat. A
boat has been sawed through the mid
die and not only adds to the quaint
ness of the bungalow, but forms an al
Turing seat in which to take sun
bath.
