 TABLE MANNERS YEARS AGO.
 Tea table etiquette was somewhat complicated in the days of that hard ened and shameless tea-drinker." Dr. Johnson, when many people thought nothing of drinking ten or twelve cups at sitting. It was considered proper for the cups and saucers of party of tea-drinkers to be all passed up to the hostess in one batch when replen- ishment was considered necessary. and in order that each person might be sure of getting back the right cup. the teaspoons were numbered. When the cups were passed up those who did not require any more were supposed to place the spoon in the cup.
 Use of the fork is comparatively modern. The original fork was two pronged and It's adoption was held to betoken an unusual degree of elegance and refinement. ''The tase for cleanli- ness has preserved the use of steel forks with two prongs." wrote Lady Newdigate (She spoke of the closing years of the Eighteenth Century.) with regard to little bits of meat. which cannot so we'll be taken hold of with the two-pronged forks. recourse Is had to the knife. which is broad and round at the extremity" Peas at that time were eaten with knife.

George Sand, who treated most of her domestic duties somewhat lightly, was discovered by visitor wearing a cotton dress and big apron, and skimming a painful of fruit destined for the jampot.

 ~CIRCUss COTILLON
 At one of the smart London dances this season, pretty novelty was in- troduced in the cotillon in the form of 'circus" figure.
 The men were given wooden hoops covered with paper in many vivid colors.
 As they advanced toward their partners in lines of teh or twenty they had to jump through the hoops as they went.
 when they reached their partners they threw the hoops over their heads and each couple valued within broken paper circle.
 It met with the greatest success. and will probably be followed in American parties this coming season.
 Another brilliant idea that was re- gently carried out abroad was bird party, given in Paris. Every one went dressed as some kind of a feathered creature From the bird of paradise to the cock Is long cry, but there were men and women to initiate alA the species between. This idea was probably suggested by the 'Dance of the Fire Bird" over which every one in Paris has gone quite mad.
 EMBROIDERY RINGS.
 Oval embroidery rings can be used for other purposes than that for which they were originally designed. one hoop can be used as necktie holder. If it be wound with shaded ribbon or a sensible, durable shade ana rom the ends a hanger be extended, holi- CT which will meet with the approv- al of the brother or cousin will be the result.
 These hoops can also be used for the tons of alarming bags. laundry | holders and waste bags. When they run through the hem at the top they afford a firm support for the hanging weight.
 Individual towel holders are attrac- tive in this form. An oval ring can be painted and enamelei in white or the color of the bathroom. A small monogram can be marked upon each ring to insure sanitary precaution. THE POPULAR GIRL. The popular girl Is found in every city. village and hamlet.
