The Ladies Home Journal says

by one Of the great milliners Oh

when offered to the fashionable
ladies of Paris they refused to
wear them. eve will not make

LIsNER Is ENTHUSIASTIC.
Predicts Great Prosperity Here Of
Return From Abroad.

A. Ijsner, proprietor of the Palais Royal,
with Mrs. Lisner, returned to the city
yesterday after an extended tour of Eu-
rope. When Mr.. Lisner reached his Of
flee in the big department store he found
it adorned with roses, the Offering Of his
employees.
Mr.. Lisner. in disclosing his impressions
Of his European trip. was more than ever
enthusiastic over this country and It's
commercial future. With its billions in
crops and minerals and its great ma
chinery and intelligent labor to convert
its raw material into manufactured prod
ucts, he feels the United States can have
no real rival He looks for greater pros
perity in the near future than any In
the past. Foolish legislation and silly
talk" he said. may create unfounded
fears and business may momentarily halt
but there Is every indication of great
business BOOM
Mr.. Lisner's absence for a time seems
to have increased his admiration for
Washington, too, which he believes in the
not distant future will rank with and be
the equal of any city in the world.

Arrangements for a home wedding IN
an apartment differ only from those in
a house in that space is usually more
congested and the details. therefore,
more difficult to plan effectively. yet
attractive results may be secured by
covering the electric light shades with
colored tissue paper-pink. blue, etc.
For this crepe paper should be used,
and If the girl, or any member or her
family, possesses ingenuity, fancy
shades may be made from it, Failing
this, tissue paper should be pulled out
along the edge. which will make 1t flute,
and then tied in bell fashion. Every
light should be treated in this way
Further decorations may be made
from asparagus vines. These sprays,
which are generally from one to four
feet long. must be arranged over light
fixtures, giving a graceful and artistic
effect. They should not be placed until
about an hour before the time the
lights are needed.
A corner of the room is the best
place to stand during the ceremony. for
the two walls lend themselves best to
the formation Of a decorative screen,
constructed from ferns and palms.
AS a background for the bridal party
the walls in the corner could be COW
cred with a figured paper pink scrtm
several shades lighter than that used
on the lights. This should be tackled
on straight from the ceiling to the
floor Against this the plants must be
massed, making more solid base or

wall. Should the pink show in spots
between the green vine it will not be
Objectionable.
Just as many flowers may be put into
the room as the purse can provide.
Roses, of course. are handsomest. and
it is not unlikely that II the asparagus
vine is bought from a wholesale
place flowers may be secured at spe-
cial price.
Refreshments should be served in
formally In the dining room. This
means that the table must be laid and
all the food placed on 1t when the
guests come into the room. The we'd
ding cake may form the centerpiece,
but an objection to such an arrange
ment is that when the time comes for
cutting the cake the whole beauty of
the table is DESTROYED. like better
the plan of the cake on a small stand
that Is deliberately decorated with green
vines, candles and roses.
AS to refreshments. there may be
salads of two kinds. if one wishes. or
one salad and dish of hot oysters,
sandwiches and cakes. bonbons and
sailed nuts will be quite sufficient for
refreshments. The candles should be
pink and white. In the white portion
Of each quarter of the table should be

shade. The roses are a centerpiece,
about which all the dishes must bal

there must be another opposite to keep
the proportion. This is the keynote of
all we'll laid tables.

FOR ENLARGED PORES,

Those persons whose compilations are
poor because Of large pores need not de-
spair of possessing smooth skin If they
VIII diet But such method Of improv
ing the skin is, unfortunately, slow. For
instance. I fancy six months of such
treatment would be necessary before any
permanent tbetternent could be noticed.
Then some fine day they would realize
that their compilations might be pretty,
and would feel more than repaid for the
endurance test through which they had
put themselves.
One of the first parts Of such treatment
consists of being certain that all powders
used during the day are washed from
the pores before retiring That this
cleansing process is not done usually is
der harmful. But If the compositions do
not contain positively injurious chemicals
the dust is harmless unless permitted to
check the pores. When this happens they
naturally enlarge.
To understand this really Injurious eff
feet II is only necessary to say that pores
are breathing places for the skin, which,
II choked In one direction will expand
until clear of obstruction. Powders natu-
rally choke them
lntenperance in diet is another cause of
Dig pores. And when food is not properly
dlsested, either because it is too rich or
has been taken to excess, excretions that
cannot be carried off through the proper
channels go through chemical change
aud come out through the pores either as
matter or as oil, the former taking the
form of pinples the latter greasiness.
Indulgence in rich pastries gravies,
sweets or fats Of any kind bring on this
state. ard therefore il becomes necessary
to adopt a plain and simple food regimen.
Fish, eggs and poultry, being compare
lively free of natural oils, may form the
staple, for with them less grease is taken
into the system. Green vegetables. such
as spinach, carrots and fresh salads, may
be freely eaten. Milk is both nourishing
and harmless, for though containing some
fats they are not overabundant. One
thus afflicted who is in the habit Of in
dulging in wines must give them up when
taking this simple cure.
Another part OF this remedy is fresh air,
for the pores-quite as much as the lungs
must breathe, and unless they are given
proper air they will struggle for ii, and
by struggling will grow large.
External applications aid, but care must
be taken that they are not used too much
Ten drops of tipcture Of benzoin put into
a basin OF water in which the face Is
washed will benefit, though SO slowly as
to be imperceptible. until after many
weeks I am firm believer in the eff
fcacy of an astringent skin lotion. This
mixture contains a little glycerin. but
something OF the sort Is required, for
the use of strong astringent. unless 1t
is lightly modified with fats. would ruin
the skin. MARGARET MKT Elk.
