SEE END OF MANS DOMINION
Whole Matter Settled by Four Women
- Over the Tea Table,

The women, taking their tea by the
club window, talked.
"They have a girl prompter at the
Garrick theater," said one. The man
ager told me last night that he'll have
none but women prompters after this.
Their fine, clear voices carry so beau
tifully across the stage, while at the
same time they are quite inaudible in
the auditorium"
"Of course said another. I'm teach
ing living languages, too, woman is
incomparably better than a man. A
man has a thick cultural voice His
words are all mumbled and jumbled.
But a woman's clear delivery-her
open voice-gives every syllable it's
just value. In studying French or Ger
man or ItSlian, choose a woman, and
your progress will be easier and
faster"

PUT HAPPY END TO QUARREL
Tactful Act That Reconclled Old
Friends Long Parted.

The passenger on the car looked
slightly alarmed, investigation was
proving that he had no smaller change
than five-dollar bill He offered it
to the conductor in vain.
Cant make the change said the
autocrat, reaching for the bell rope.
The passenger started meekly for
the door A man in front of him stood
up suddenly and said: Let me pay
your fare, John"
The other passengers looked re-
lieved, but instead of accepting the
happy offer, John scowled darkly at
the speaker, to the great surprise of
the observers, and evidently would
have refused to accept the favor had
not the other man insistently closed
the deal with the conductor, in spite
of Johns protest, all the time keep
ing up a low conversation with John.
The scowl slowly melted from John $
brow, and soon the two men were
seated side by side, chatting con-
genially.
After John left the car, the stranger
betook himself to the platform with
his cigar, where he explained to the
conductor
That man and l used to he good
friends, but we had a quarrel and have
not been on speaking terms for years.
l have tried several times in various
ways to make it up with him, but
never before have succeeded. Even
this time he was obdurate at first, but
| didn't give him any chance to get
away. He has promised to take lunch
con with me to-day, and that will
clinch the matter Glad you didn't
make the change"

limbs below my knees. They came to
look like raw beefsteak, all red, and no
one knows how they itched and burned.
They were so swollen that | had to
split my drawers open to get them on
and could not get my shoes on for a
week or more. L used five or six diff
ferent remedies and got no help, only
when applying them the burning was
worse and the itching less. One morning

it touched me the itching was gone and

swelling went down andin two days | had

Remedies in the first of my troubles.

) OCULAR Amethysts.

For day wear amethysts are I'M
doubtedly the fashion. The really
well-dressed woman has sets of these,
hat pins, long watch chain and brooch
to match. In most of the hat pins the
stone is elongated or spherical.
There are some of the prettiest long
chains in which the amethysts are cut
square and quite fiat, and the links
of the chain are gold and about half
an inch in length. This is a smart de-
sign and looks equally well when
worn with either a tailored or lingerie
waist.
Lapis lazuli is also popular and be-
coming for brooches. Large square OF
diamond shaped ones, set in silver, are
very stylish worn at the throat to hold
ones jabot in place.

DUMMY DISHES FOR BANouETs.
Are Used to Give Impression of Prod
>igaI Display.

Cardboard cakes and other similar
delicacies are, it seems, no longer con-
fined to the stage, and at many func-
tons requests for a portion from a
particular dish might cause great con-
sternation.
The use of these dummy dishes is
increasing very much, for at many Of
the public banquets for which the tick
cts are almost ridiculously cheap it
would not be possible for the caterers
to supply the great show of delicacies
and dessert which are exhibited on the
buffets for so little payment. if they
were real.
They provide, therefore, certain
amount of real food--poultry ana
game-and judiciously place dishes of
dummy food among the real, 10 give
the impression of rrodigal display.
Tho walters alone know e-cctl-
what they may safely attempt to
carve, and what to leave alone; ana
the most observant guest would have
difficulty in distinguishing the real
from the counterfeit.
Nothing is more deceptive than tl.o
fruit at some functions. What are
those luscious dollhouse peaches with
such a perfect bloom on the dishes?
A bite into one of them would bring
cruel disillusion.
Around, perhaps. are arranged real
bananas, apples and cheap grapes, but
the big black dollhouse grapes are also
frauds.
The caterer cannot help himself. His
supporters love show, hence he must
provide it as cheaply as possible.
