MORE FIR u ia. s.
Beautiful "FioWers" Praised By So
eiety Girl Were Designed for
Humble Purpose.

One of the cleverest girls in New
York society bushes every time she
hears the name of Octave Mirbeau,
the Paris playwright, for it reminds
her OF an occasion on which she be-
trayed ignorance of one of the
simplest of agricultural products
She went with her chaperon and
several friends to the authors Cor
mellles house to see the gardens, of
which he is prouder than of his
playwriting ability. One of the first
things that caught her eve was a
bed of green plants, tipped with red.
The contrast appealed to her es-
thetic sense, and she gushed little,
just the least bit in the world. In
dicating the parterre with the tip of
her parasol, she cried, ''What lovely
things they are! You must send
me some of the flowers when they
bloom, dear M. Mirbeau." To which.
with laugh, the builder of comedies
returned, ''You may have to wait
some time, for they are cabbages-
the kind one eats in your beautiful
America with corned beef, you
know"

Comfort for the Baby.

The careful mother, who always
wishes her baby to be dainty and
clean, will be delighted to hear that
very inexpensive and comfortable
coach and crib covers may be made
of cotton batting sewed between two
thicknesses of ordinary white cheese
cloth and quilted by machine stitching.
This forms the foundation. The outer
cover may be of two thicknesses of
pique or bunting made just like bag,
with both sides and one end sewed
up. The comforter is then slipped in
to the outer cover, and to hold it in
place bow Of ribbon may be fastened
at each corner by little safety pins.
This IS all the finishing the comfort
er requires, and it is so easy to re-
move the outer cover and wash it
when it becomes soiled. What a saw

SOUR AID.

Napoleon was in a witty mood.
Calling his trusty lieutenant to his
side, he said:
"Antonio, / wish to ask you a
frank question. | don't believe you
like my aid ?"
"Well, general" hesitated the
lieutenant, ''to be candid with you,
don't"
"And why not ?"
"He's lemon
Napoleon laughed until his snuff
box ratified.

good. If he is lemon he must be
