Chateau de Villegenis.

An investigation of a report current in Paris that William Ellis Corey, president of the steel corporation, had placed his French residence, the historic Chateau de Vilegenis on the market with orders Tor its immediate disposal, brought forth vigorous denial Monday from both MT. and Mrs. Corey and incidentally an ex- tremely interesting bit of domestic news.
 The story from Paris is that the sign For sale has been nailed to the gates of the chateau-that chateau which was the Chevreuse-that chateau which was once the home of Jerome Bonaparte, King of Westphalia, for which Mir. Corey paid

Nothing is more pleasing than table arranged with due care for harmony of color and the very first thing which any housewife should consider in decorating her table is the color of her china. A table decorated with yellow, when the china to be used is lowered with pink, is mistake, and one realizes it on seeing the same table decorated with harmoniz- ing pink or entirely in green.
 Decorations may easily be found for the woman with moderate means and but little leisure to work out any elab- crate and complicated schemes; for those who are far from these shops which sell tempting favors at low prices, as well as for her who finds these things right around the corner, as 1t were.

 The Parisian story. moreover. stated that not only Is the estate put on the market, but that all the furniture has been sold, the stables stripped of their horses and motors, and the collection of pictures placed in the hands of dealers. All this on the order of MT. Corey.
 It was in this same Chateau de Vile genis that Mrs. Corey, formerly Mabelle Gilman, held her wonderful open-air fetes. her splendid receptions. and enter tained on a scale that revived the former glories of the castle-all of which, the Paris report declared, were things of the past.
 All of this, as has been said. both MT. and Mrs. Corey deny emphatically.
 To bear out Mrs. Corey's denial, an in- innate friend of hers stated Monday that more than MT and Mrs. Corey are inter ested in the retention of the Chateau de Villegenis.

Dolly's Dialogues.

The following little poem Is contributed by a clever young school marm popularly known in educational circles, in response to favor asked by one of her bachelor friends, to make for him a pin-cushion. The idea of sending a work-box outfit complete dawned upon her. so she took tiny little red one, placed therein a rib bon book of needles a thimble, scissors and a Chinaman pin-cushion decorated with many-colored pins; also thread on little spools, to match each garment im- aginable. and wrote these lines accompa- nying the gift:
 AN ODE TO A wORK-BOx- And here is the work-box so square and To hold all the needles and thimble and
 II. Many sizes of needles. big eyed and all, To darn every hole that's caused by fall. The thimble is brightest and 1t you will choose, But it's awfully awkward to learn how to use.
 ". And the spools hold the thread-blue and brown, black and gray To mend every suit the bachelor may say
 " The day Is quite full of great and small losses, But think of the scissors. They always have crosses. The Chinaman cushion gives assistance to you. When in doubt as to color he'll give you the queue Fastidious eyes couldn't frown down on this, Because not a detail has been (a) remiss. If there's a single detail that's not plain to see, Just call an "Old Maid" with the right kind of plea. But here's to success. whether sewing or darning, Cause domestic science is wonderful farming"

 Miss Corelli referred to President Tafts admiration for his wife
 T am sure that Mrs. Taft is the real President of the United States and is just carrying MT. Taft along with her, said the novelist. Miss Corelli concluded: {: Surely the most militant suffragette could not want moro than that"
