CHANGES IN TABLE SILVER
Knife Handles Of Ivory and Mother of
Pearl No Longer Seen-Lavish
Display Frowned On.

All of the latest knives and forks
have handles OF silver, which has en-
tirely superseded the white handles
of ivory and mother of pearl. The
silver is found to be more substantial
and is less likely to be spoiled or
broken by constant use. Silver plat
tiers also take precedence over the
ones of china for the serving of all
meats, poultry and fish, as they hold
the heat better and insure the serv-
ing OF these courses piping hot, a
thing not possible with china.
1t Is not customary abroad to place
half a dozen knives and forks of va.
rious designs, some for fish and some
for fowl and some for no one knows
what, alongside the plates before a
dinner is begun. But for each course
as it is removed the waiter brings
the tools" for the next, Not only is
this bit of show done away with, but
1t is considered bad taste to spread
out an array of silverware before
your guests, an act which appears
rather parvenu, as though the object
of a feast were to make an exhibition
OF wealth. 1t is taken for granted
by ones guests that there Is plent,
OF silver to go round.

SHOWED HIS HERO WORSHIP
Surely Nothing Wrong Could Go Forth

Veneration.

Allen has a strong admiration for
soldiers. He seldom misses a military
parade and his childish fancy has so
idealized the boys in blue that he
considers them little short of perfec-
ton.
Not long ago his mother took him to
see an elderly friend Of hers-a sweet

widow of a veteran of the civil var

corded this beautiful woman the most

en- had a mild difference of opinion,

on a vacation in the Maine woods
once when Joseph Pulitzer, owner OF

Presently a country operator drove
in to the Cobb camp and handed Cobb
the message, which read something
like this:

THE DIFFERENCE
Coffee Usually Means Sickness, But
Postum Always Means Health.

Those who have never tried the ex-
pertinent of leaving off coffee and
drinking Postum in its place and in
this way regaining health and happi-
ness can learn much from the expert
ence of others who have made the
trial.
One who knows says: II drank cot
fee for breakfast every morning until
I had terrible attacks of indigestion
producing days of discomfort and
nights of sleeplessness. l tried to give
up the use Of coffee entirely, but found
1t hard to go from hot coffee to a
glass of water. Then | tried Postum.
1T was good and the effect was so
pleasant that | soon learned to love
1t and have used 1t for several years.
/ improved Immediately after | left
off coffee and took on Postum and
am now entirely cured of my indiges-
ton and other troubles all Of which
were due to coffee. / am now well
and contented and all because |

Postum Is much easier 10 make
right every time than coffee, for 1t is
SO even and always reliable. We
never use coffee now In our family.
We use Postum. and are always well.

by trial.

Quakers Make Fine Farms of Fertile

The Quakers of Woodlawn, Va, are

western part Of Mount Vernon, the
washington estate outside Of the man
sion house, and about 200 acres un-
der control of the Mount Vernon La

by Friends, an exchange says. The
Quakers Of the Mount Vernon region
are perhaps peerless, certainly unex-
celled in thrift, neatness, orderliness,
and those other qualities that com

sect. They are especially well read

A TRYING Collar.

The very extreme collar has not re-
turned, but has given place to a mod
erately high straight collar, surmount
ed, in many instances. by a suggestion
of a frill again.
Plated linen is better than ruch-
ing, and a tiny outstanding turnover
is good. This is purposely allowed to
flare SO as to form a frame for the
face. 1t Is slashed open back and
front, and is rather stir and formal
looking.
This type Of collar is no more gen.
orally becoming than Is the Pierrot
ruff. 1t takes away from the natural
outline Of the face and neck, and
should be cautiously chosen. There
are always styles of this sort for the
very slender woman, and they should
be reserved for her.

dimly-lighted stage. The new leading
lady was not visible and the only
strange face he observed was that OF
a pretty young girl, who had appar-
emily been brought by some friend In
the company for a peep behind the
scenes.
Ready for the first act!" cried the
stage manager, and Gerald was sur
prised to see, when the stage was
cleared that the strange young CIR
remained. He was about to go for
ward and warn her that the rehearsal
was to begin and that the leading lady
would want the stage to herself, wher
he was amazed to hear her repeat IL
rather nervous tones, the opening
lines assigned to Girls" The act pro
ceeded and the girl became more
nervous as each new character ap
peared, until when Gerald approached
her, she greeted him with trembling
voice and fearful eyes, instead of thu
gay fippancy assigned to the part. Thi
annoyed him and he spoke his line
in a rough, careless way that mad
her almost forget hers. She glance
at him appealingly and whispered
