ABDUL RECONC|LED
Now Thinks Rather of Food Than
of His Wives.
Former Ruler of Turkey Growing Ac-
customed to Surroundings at Sa-
Enthusiastically Interested
lin Passing Events.

Salonika.-Abdul Hamid, the ex-sul-
tan of Turkey, is slowly becoming
more accustomed to his surroundings
and reconciled to his captivity. He
has cast off his morose demeanor, no
longer gives way to outbursts of an
ger, and conducts himself in a quiet
and retired manner.
Repeatedly he expresses his salts
faction at being kept at Sa1onika, re-
quests that he be allowed to remain at
the Villa Allatini, and prays that he
may be permitted to live there and
end his days like a good old man."
For whatever may be the opinion of
his former subjects, the ex-Sultans
confidence in his own virtues remains
undiminished.
why do my people say and write
such bad things about me and at
tempt to blacken my character?" he
revive everything that is bad and
never mention all the good things
have done for my country? After all,
the bad things were not due to me;
they were the works of my council
ors. Every man 1 had round me was
bad-absolutely bad. 1 had no oppor-
tunity of choosing my advisers
Very early in the morning Abdul
repairs to a small ante-room over
looking a small portion of the main
road. Here he takes up his position
at the window. Almost his first &C.
cupation is to give orders to Emil
Bey for his days food. These orders
are handed to an agent of the munich
pality, who is detailed off to do the

necessary marketing. The cuisine is
in the hands of one of Adults old
cooks, who was specially brought for
the purpose from Yildiz.
The dethroned monarch's favorite
delicacy is shrimps, which just now
are in season in Salonika. He is now
being accorded the greatest liberty
with pens and paper being supplied
him, and he is allowed, if he so de-
sires, to walk in the garden at will.
He has, however, up to the present,
taken no advantage of this extension
of liberty, preferring to remain cooped
up in his little ante-chamber.
He sleeps badly and often PAGES the
floor of his bedroom the whole night
through. For this reason every after
noon he retires for a brief siesta. He
takes little pleasure in the society of
his wives and seldom sees them, with
the exception of the mother of his son
Hamil Effendi, who is in almost con-
slant attendance upon him. His sole
recreation lies in the newspapers,
which are literally supplied, and are
read to him by his favorite wife. He
takes the greatest possible interest in
passing events, both at home and
abroad, but outside of this he has no
occupation and passes the day with
the utmost monotony. OF late, how
ever, he has had a desire to employ
himself with amateur carpentering,
and in accordance with this idea a
full set of joiner's tools has been or
dered from a Paris factory.
Various interesting conversations
have been the outcome of Abdul Ha-
mid's newspaper reading. When he
had been read the account of the in
vestiture of his brother as sultan amid
the acclamations of the populace, he
was considerably agitated-
"Why is it, he demanded, that the
people like my brother when they
hate me2''
Because" he was told. "the people
do not like what you like, and like
what you do not"
A grunt of disapproval was the ex-
sultan's only response.

Grecian bands of cut jet are pretty
as hair ornaments on some young
women.
Chamois skin and suede, cut into
fringe, appear on some of the fancy
hand bags.
Lace will be more than rivaled in
popularity by embroidery and braid
trimming.
The faience braids in plain colors
are used almost exclusively on jaunty
jacket suits.
Laces dyed to match the dress are
good trimmings on some of the one
color jacket suits.
Linens are either very heavy, al
most like Russian crash, or they are
very thin and fine.
Dainty shoes with fancy straps and
ornamental buttons are well liked
by young persons.
The bottoms of sleeves are much
trimmed, while the upper parts are
left absolutely plain.
The Dutch collar, finished at the
front with two tiny rosettes and a
long tab, is exceedingly dressy.

A Hay Ride and Corn Party.

Days by the shore are simply glOri-
Gus this month; the winds have COM
menced to sing the requiem, and there
is beauty in nature which seems to
come only with the August moon
But 1 started out to tell of hay ride
and corn party that was a bowling
success in every sense of the word.
The hostess appointed a common
meeting place, where the great farm
farm wagons with four horses awaited
the guests. After a merry ride of ten
miles, made gay with resounding
horns, a campfire was built, table put
up on sawhorses with the long boards
that had been brought on the wagon,
and the corn feast began.
The hostess had gotten stunning
corncob place cards, corn-decorated
nut holders, popcorn done up in green
crepe paper to look like ears of corn.
There were boiled ears, roasted ears,
corn fritters (the batter made at
home and carried in a glass jar) with
maple syrup. OF course there were
potatoes-sweet and Irish-roasted in
the Goals, and lots of sandwiches,
plain and filed with minced ham.
The candy was an exact reproduc-
ton of corn kernels. 1t was given
in little boxes shaped like ears of
corn.
A secret of her picnic was revealed
by this young woman, who is noted for
this form of hospitality. She said she
never asked more than II to her out
door affairs, and took especial pains to
keep the guests who were congenial
in groups, and always provided a man
for every girl, If married couples were
not invited.
Then she considered always who
was to be hidden to a picnic, for there
are those who loathe outdoor spreads,
and those who hate" formal dinners

How to Pack Flowers.

For packing shallow boxes should
be used, as the flowers will travel
much better if packed in single layers.
The boxes should be just long enough
to comfortably accommodate the flow
ers and should be lined with some soft
non-absorbent. material Wood wool
is the best material to use, but fresh
moss will also answer the purpose.
Over this place a layer of white tissue
paper and then lay the flowers in po-
sition, packing them as closely as pos
sfble. Cover with another layer of
tissue paper and fill in if necessary
with a little more packing material
and when the lid is placed in position
the contents of the box are quite firm
and unable to shift--From the Gar

A Simple Party.


This is certainly a most amusing
affair and will repay hostess for the
trouble of arranging for it. But then
to be a successful hostess the labor
that precedes an event should never
enter into the calculations. There
must be an equal number of men and
women; eight couples make a party
easily provided for.
In the invitations to the girls the
hostess requests a sample of the gown
which they will wear and to the men
the missives request a sample of the
necktie; these to be sent in advance
to the hostess. The samples are neat
1y mounted on sample" cards, and
the neckties passed to the girls; the
dress materials to the men. In this
way partners are found for the prog
ressive conversation which will be
passed, and the men are to write de-
scriptions of the gown, the sample of
which fell to their lot, and the girls
are to write about the ties, material,
style, etc. Five minutes will be given
to these descriptions, and then the pa
pers will be read aloud. The prizes
are to be sample packages of any
product the hostess may select
The refreshments are to be novel,
inasmuch as the hostess will have the
tea and coffee made by a demon
strator" Gone of the party who has
been previously asked to do it), and
the other things are to be served in
boxes marked Samples" There will
be sandwiches of various kinds, olives.
salad, small cakes, etc. The contents
of the boxes will be spread upon the
table, which is to be supplied with all
~,
While at the table the room is to be
suddenly darkened and little saucers
containing a mixture of chopped nuts,
candies and crackers are to be passed
and eaten. When the lights are turned
on each one is to write down what he
has had, the one nearest correct be-
ing given a sample" cake of choco-
late.

was a little red surface and a constant

She could not sleep and the eruptions
got sore, and yellow water came out
of them. I had two doctors treat her,
but she grew worse under their treat
