"RECLINING BREAKFASTS"

A great physician will summon the chef

tient's household and tell him precisely
how every item Is to be treated so as to
digest every element before 1t Is sent to

sugar or some herb is to be inserted in
the confection with the same precision as
he counts the patients heart beats.
Coffee is the most fashionable beverage
at these parties. 1t is now the custom to
grind it in the presence Of guests SO as
to assure them of its freshness. Coffee
mills are among the most fashionable
presents. especially for brides. so much so
that 1t is no unusual thing for a prospec
tive matron to find herself in possession
of half a dozen OF these small machines.
At the end of a meal a white-robed chef
enters, bringing on a tray all the appli-
ances necessary for making coffee either
In French. Turkish or Russian fashion.
These parties are responsible for an en-
tirely new garment somewhat more elab-

CEVERAL rather prominent members OF

standing just to the right Of the Speaker s
desk one day last week chatting about

other was up in which no one seemed to
be interested-it is fair to assume that 1t

tire from the House of Representatives,
he will, in orthodox fashion. sing his swan

all his own previous records for merri-
ment. and I'll wager that the day after
his effort there won't be side in the
House that isn't sore. If man is in a
reasonably good humor with the world
he can raise a laugh just by looking at
vincing proofs of the Darwlnian theory
now extant. And when he opens his
mouth all bets are off.

She lives up New York state. and she

miles out of New York state, although
she has all the money necessary even for

she doesn't. Her late husband, my uncle

In short, she's perfect specimen OF

no-account doings of the present era.

the Salome dance was the headline fea-

excessive amount of money for a couple
of seats that l toppled to what all of the
big to-do around the entrance meant.

lights on the theater wall announcing the
Salome business. and l reckon my knees

THE evidence on this secret service
mixup that seemed to threaten real
war between the President and Con-
gress not long ago now appears to be
purely cumulative. First Chief Wilkie Of
the Treasury branch Of the secret service,
the bureau about which all the trouble
centered, told the sundry civil subcom-
mittee Of the House committee on ap-
propriations that the government secret
service had not been hampered in any
way by the Limitation imposed last year
by Congress. a Limitation which the Pres
fdent, in that message to Congress that
stirred up so much bitterness. said could
be OF benefit only to the criminal
classes.
Well. Chief Wilkie seems to have been
publicly spanked, for the President in a
statement issued for publication, dis,
agreed with the conclusions Of the head
Of the black cabinet. Then came along
Secretary of the Interior Garfield and At
torney General Bonaparte, and their testi-
lnony certainly agrees on one point. that
they don't want to use the Treasury Sc
cret service men and are glad Congress
made 1t impossible for them to do so
The gratitude of these two eminent gen.
tlemen on that point was positively touch
Ing. They even went so far as to say
that Mr.. Wilkes pets were inefficent-in
fact. q rather inferior class Of men.
Then the Senate turned loose some con-
clusions to the same effect, and I'm will
ing to wager that when the testimony of
one Trowbridge, who Is the head Of the
revenue special agents for the detection
Of fraud. is published that it will add
considerably to the gayety of nations
Mr.. Trowbridge told the members Of the
