Mr.. and Mrs. Moritz visited all the

others. Mrs Moritz in speaking of
her iourncyings remarked that while
one goes abroad for the latest fashions

women that the Paris gowns are worn
most tastcfully and artistically. The
French woman is chic and may be
gowned in the height of the prevailing
mode, but her figure. the way she puts
on her dresses and her general style
lack the elegance that is characteristic
of her American sister.

Irving used to tell with dramatic ef
feet a story about w. @. Wills. the
dramatist, who, among other services,
wrote for him the play ''Charles l."
When Wills was a boy ten years old
he was taken to see Edmund Kean
play Macbeth. In the murder scene
he was 80 affected by the realistic
power Of the actor that, seized with a
severe attack Of nausea, he hurried
from the box. Ten years later he was
lunching at a chop house In Fleet
street when a man entered, sat down
at table near him and ordered a
meal. He was a perfect stranger to
Wills, who, after a few minutes pro
pinquity, was again seized with a fit
Of nausea, from which he had not suf-
fered since as a boy he was at the
theater on the occasion mentioned. He
was obliged to leave the room. When
some minutes later he paid his bill the
waiter said to him: Ibid you see that
gentleman at the table near you?

The Hen and Her Nest.

Many claim that the nest should be
on the ground, but all claims that hens
should have their nests on the moist
ground are unsupported by facts, says
Green Fruit Grower and Home Com
panion.
What is required for the hen in win
ter is snug, warm location, while in
summer she should have a cool place
The best material for nest is dry
earth on the bottom, with chopped hay
over the earth.
Then dust the nest, hen and eggs
with good insect powder and put a
small quantity Of tobacco refuse in
the nest.
Should an egg be broken or the nest
become foul, clean it out thoroughly.
The broken egg will cause lice quicker
than anything else.
