To Carry : Neat Irax.

There is no reason or excuse fui
serving patient with a sloppy tray.
No matter how heavily 1t is laden or
how far 1t must be carried nothing
need be spilled If precautions are OBJ
served.
Do not fill tumbler, pitcher or cup
full.
Never pour cream over cereal or
fruit, but put 1t in a tiny pitcher.
Individual pots for coffee, tea OF
chocolate are not expensive. They
keep liquid warm, besides being more
neatly handled.
Most important of all when the tray
is finally full. perhaps to overfiowing
nothing need be spilled over the edges
If the one who is carrying 1t will sway
the tray slightly from side to side as

POOR WITNESS FOR FRIEND
Deseon's Brief Emphatic Testimony
Probably Somewhat Impressed
the Jury.

Deacon Stephen Potter. one Of the
pioneers Of Utica. N. Y, was a man
OF great eccentricity but high moral
character. The deacon will speak
the truth and shame the DEVIL was
often said OF him.
On one occasion friend was en-.
gagged in lawsuit in regard to some
land few miles from Utica. He held
the land at high price. During the
trial he called Deacon Potter as a
witness, to prove how valuable the
land was. The deacon was sworn and
asked If he knew the land.
Yes" he replied. Il know every
foot of it,"
What do you think 1t is worth, Mr..
Potter?' was the next question.
The old man paused moment and
then said. slowly: III had as many
dollars-as my yoke Of oxen-could
draw-on a sled--on glazed ice-I

Upton Anglers KING
Women Cause Trouble Between
Ruler and Baronet.
Sir Thomas Refuses to Take Edwards
Friend. Mrs. KeppeI, Aboard Yacht
on Which Marie coreIii
Was His Guest.

London.-Sir Thomas Upton. who
went to New York last month to ask
for modification of the rules govern
ing contests for the Americas cup in
order that he might challenge for the
| fourth time, did not carry the high
hopes and favor of King Edward
which aided him in former years
This In no wise affects the feelings
of the British public. which greatly
admires Sir Thomas as a sportsman
undismayed by three defeats On the
contrary, his popularity has Increased
/ tsince he announced his intention to
try again for the much-coveted cup.
1t was the discriminating galIantry
of Sir Thomas Upton on an occasion
when he was placed in an ,unenviable
position-a story that has never be-
fore been told outside of the inner
most court circles-which cost him
the intimate friendship and support
of the king in his yachting ventures
Two noted women-Marie Corelli,
the novelist, and the Hon. Mrs. George
Keppel, famous beauty, wit and friend
of King Edward and Queen Alexandra
placed Sir Thomas Upton in the po-
sjtion of a modern Paris, and, as host
of Miss Corelli, Sir Thomas Upton
made decision in her favor.
Mrs. Keppel learned of this and
complained to the king, and from that
moment Sir Thomas Upton ceased to
interest his majesty. There has
been no open rupture-no hint in
clubs nor at court that Sir Thomas
is persona non grata to the king
but whether in his present venture,
without the support of the king, the
Royal Ulster Yacht club, under whose
colors he formerly challenged, will
aid him, remains to be disclosed.
Sir Thomas is great personal
friend and admirer OF Marie Corelli,
and when he heard that she was al
most broken down from overwork, he
invited her to take trip on his yacht
for rest and recuperation. Miss
Corelli accepted and when the yacht
had lazily cruised about for week
and her health had been partly re-
stored, Sir Thomas received tele-

Sir Thomas Upton.

graphic message from King Edward,
commanding him as friend and sub
ject to run the Erin over to South
ampton and pick up Mrs. George KEEP
pei for cruise as she was almost
broken down by her many social
duties. The king announced that he
would join the yacht later for short
cruise as the guest of Sir Thomas.
Immediately on receipt of the mes
sage Sir Thomas announced to Miss
Corelli that there was to be another
guest taken on board the yacht. Miss
Corelli inquired who the guest was to
be and Sir Thomas explained that
Mrs. Keppel was to join the company
at Southampton and that later King
Edward would come aboard.
With firmness characteristic OF
her. Miss Corelli promptly told Sir
Thomas that she would end her visit
aboard the yacht as soon as the yes
sci touched at Southampton. This
announcement shocked Sir Thomas,
and as her host he demanded that
Miss CoreiIi give a reason for the
abrupt termination of cruise that
had been arranged especially for her
benefit.
Miss Corelli gave some trivial ex-
cuse that did not satisfy Sir Thomas
and finally told him fatty that she
had no desire to meet Mrs. Keppel.
She asked him to put her ashore and
allow the incident to be closed, for
she in no way blamed him for arrang.
ing to take other guests aboard dur
ing the cruise to which she had been
invited.
Sir Thomas was deeply affected by
Miss Corelli's attitude and believed
that his duty as host was above
that as a friend and subject of the
king. 1t is also said that he was in
fuenced by his admiration for the at.
titude of Miss Corelli in daring to
refuse to meet one of the most bril-
liant women in England, whose favor
is courted almost as much as that OF
the kings.
H~ told Miss Corelli that she should
finish the cruise, remaining on board
until entirely restored to health, and
that he would offer some excuse for
not proceeding to Southampton to
take Mrs. Keppel aboard. This he
did and it explains why the friendship
of the king for the Irish baronet has
been severed.

Really. when you stop to think of 1t,
1t wasn't such bad break, after all.
There is great deal of kinship be.

certainly, perhaps not as descriptive
but quite as truthful, as the first. For

the most attractive of dresses-a soft
petal-like drapery, a beguilingly fem

think of Marie Antoinette or the
Lady with Muf"-and you may
take my word for 1t that the gown
will caiole the most unprc.nising form

close to beauty.
1t really seems as If the gowns ol

designed to make plain women lovely

This came about through the fact that
J. D. Bryant, who conducted a saloon
at the place formerly called the Ozark,

This action followed the raid made by
the sheriff on the gambling joint which
