FOR 4 BIG FAMILY.
TwirIins Tray Does Much to Expedite
Table Service.

There is a novelty extremely smart
as well as sensible. that solves
problem Of many a housekeeper, both
those with plenty Of servants and
those with none. This is a tvirling
tray to expedite table service.
To have the meals OF a large family
daintily. even comfortably. served re-
cuIres a skilled waitress. Even so
there are apt TO be long waits or
showing.
The English fashion Of being more
informal for breakfast and luncheon
than for dinner. IS gaining Roadway
with US While the side-tah serv-
ice, with each one helping his or her
self. has by no means become gen
eral. II is being more and more
adopted. especially in country homes.
A convenient substitute is found in
one OF these trays. They are made
to rnatch the table. either mahogany
or oak. and are about - inches in
diameter. though they can be made
TO suit any width table. Each tray
has a rim and rests on a standard on
which It slides easily.
The twirleT is placed in the center
of the table. in reach Of all, and on it
are placed. butter. preserves, bread
and rolls. the molasses pitcher. and
such rel:shes as radishes. celery, or
cheese As these are the things that
are in constant demand. and keep the
waitress busy. It is great time
saver to have them reached by simply
a twill OF the tray.
Ugly? Not all all: rather un-
usual looking at first. but the tray cau
be made very dainty with its snowy
embroidered cover. a vase Of flowers
in the center. and the other dishes en-.
circling II.
II one cares to go to the expense
there are sectional dishes made that
Just fit these trays. They are shallow
ana trimmed, and have a circular dish
in the center, with six or eight tri'
angular dishes radiating from It to
form an outer circle.
When the family is extra large two
trays are used, one at each end OF the
table.
While these trays are only consid
cred the thing" for breakfast and
luncheon. and are generally used on
the bare table: when there is no maid
they can be used as convenience die.

On the coast OF Holland. Belgium

blouses. while their heads and shoul-
ders are covered by shawls. They
carry their nets into the sea and scoop
up vast quantities of shrimps and
prawns. with an occasional crab or
lobster and many small fish. They
often wade out till the water Is up to
their necks. and they remain for hours
at a time in water above their knees.

A Doctors Disadvantage.

I'm one way" said a collector, ut
is easier 10 get money from a doctor
than anybody else who is slow pay.
II is more difficult for him to swear
that he hasn't been able to make any
collections himself since the first OF
the year. A doctors reception room is
open TO all possible patients. A col
lector with a grain Of ingenuity can
find a way TO worm out Of the men on
the waiting list information as to the
terms of payment. After an inter
view with three or four persons who
have paid spot cash for treatment and
who have told the collector they paid.
1t takes a mighty nerve on the part OF
the doctor to insist that he hasn't .
dollar TO his name"

WHEN YOU GET RICH.
Only Then Are You Appreciated for
Your True Worth.

Upton Sinclair, the novelist, was
talking about wealth at Lake Pla-
cid.
1T is pleasant to be rich" he said.
Nobody can deny that. Many OF the
pleasures Of wealth, though, are false
and mistaken ones.
When / was making my living by
the composition Of blood and thun.
der tales for boys-and l could turn
out my 5000 words a day knew a
pale. bent, ink-stained old chap who
wrote love stories.
His stories did not pay; he was
very poor; but an aunt died, and sud
denly the old fellow found himself q
millionaire.
He saw me one afternoon on Broad
way. He stopped his red car and we
chatted about old times.
And is it pleasant to be rich?'
asked.
Yes. It is he answered, as he
lighted a vuelto Abajos and handed
me another. And do you know what
is the pleasantest thing about it? You
have an opportunity to make real
friends, friends who can understand
you You get at last to know people
capable Of esteeming you for your own
qualities alone. You find, sir. that
you are at last appreciated

Wolfe for Travelling.

Few women can afford to keep a
gown entirely for travelling. 1t must
be utilized for walking and for simple
and informal occasions, and It should
tc a gown that can be worn in town
in the fall. With all of these things
pressing upon her mind the woman
tho goes out to buy travelling dress
has much with which to contend
Voile makes a light travelling dress.
and II Is durable II one understands
yoile. A certain modiste displayed a
lilac voiIe which she said had been
worn two seasons by one Of her Gus
toners. This year. after little reno
Sation. 1t was being treated to a mar
low trimming OF braid upon the collar
and cuffs and TO a braided 3os;sn
down the back. A coat of lilac
coIored braid. three-quarter length and
fastening loosely down the front, was
~ complete the renovation of the lilac
costume. A black straw hat faced
with lilac silk and trimmed with lilac
flowers makes the costume one Of har-
mony.

MATERIAL FOR THE COLLAR.
Fine Null in Thread Tueks 10 Now
Much Worn.

The new separate collar TO attach to
thin white blouse IS made of very
fine null in thread tucks. edged with
a tiny border OF black silk muslin at
top and bottom.
A line of this is also run up the
back and It is fastened with tiny round
silk buttons and cord loops.
The little bow attached to the front
is OF plated null edged with the
black. and In the center there is a
butterfly OF Irish lace.
This stock is especially effective
with an all-white suit and carries out
the color scheme If there are black
pumps and stockings and a white hat
trimmed with black satin.
II is quite the fashion to finish the
center OF the stiff little bows worn in
front OF stock with a motif of heavy
lace. These can easily be picked up
by the half dozen at sales.
Another pretty idea in neckwear is
a large bow of messaline made with
equal loops and ends finished with q
heavy silk cord to match at all edges.
These sell in some shops for $3.50
but II a girl has a bit of messaline in
the house she can make one for the
price OF the cord.
They are worn at the base of the
stock as well as with the thin turn.

The population Of the Chinese EN-.

There has never been such census OF

taken every decade in this country.
But the estimate of the Almanach de

reliable. According to that estimate.
the population Of the empire Is. In

General Demand

Of the Well-Informed Of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy Of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination Of Syrup Of Figs and
Elixir OF SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits Of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one Of many reasons why
Syrup Of Figs and Elixir Of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy

A word OF caution to those buy
ing grapes and grenadines. These
fabrics are sometimes almost imper-
ishable. There are varieties. how
ever. that are easily ruined by mois-
ture. Always test the material by
immersing Z piece of it in water. In
the right kind the color will not
run. nor the crimp come out. These
fabrics may be successfully reno
waited and made to look like new
by steaming them. when the mois-
tUre-proof kind is bought.
