How Prince Ito Solved a Problem.


 When Mime. Sada Macco. the fa- nous Japanese actress. received the news of the assassination of Prince Ito at Mito, where she was playing with her troupe. she burst into tears.
 Tn my frequent quarrels with my husband" said the actress, i've some times asked Prince Ito to judge be- tween us. One day. when we had a more than usually violent dispute at Chigasaki the prince came in unex- pectedly and asked him to decide on the question.
 He declined, while proposing the following solution: Go down into the garden. both of you. and fight it out like wrestlers. The one that wins will naturally be the one who is in the right.
 No sooner said than done! In a trice Kawakani and l were in wrest- ling trim. My husband was just re. covering from a serious illness. and. being weak. l soon threw him to the ground. This amused the prince enormously. Paris Figaro.

FOOTWEAR CAUSE OF WOE
Popular Pump Is Rough on Silk Stockings. But Girls will
 Wear Them.

The bachelor maid twisted her pret. ty foot around and looked ruefully at the heel of her silk stocking, just above the top of her patent leather pump.
 What do l care about airships 2" she exclaimed mournfully, "or wire less telegraph improvements or deep sea navigation? What women most need is some kind of an invention that will keep pumps from cutting through stockings just above the heel. That would meet a real human need l paid $3 for those stockings and this is the second time l have worn them One pump has cut long gash, as you see. and it is useless to mend it. The same kind of gash would be cut through the mending silk in few hours
 Why not abandon the wearing of pumps? Oh. horrors. no! They are the most adorable footwear on earth. No sane woman would be willing to surrender them. l will wear cheaper stockings if l must. but give up pumps, never! Surely there must be enough igenuity in the whole world to rise to this demand l believe a manufacturer who would devise some means. either on the pump or in the stockings, to obvate this difficulty would wax rich
 Bachelor cousin had brilliant idea. Couldn't some leader of fashion make it the style to leave an open space in all stockings, just above the heel. so there would be nothing to cut away?
 Except the skin, Wretch!"

FOR SUNDAY NIGHT
MEAL THAT MAY BE SERVED
 WITH LITTLE LABOR.

 Should Figure In the

ID most households the Sunday night supper is movable feast, to be eaten when appetites are agreeable. There IS scarcely housekeeper who does not regard 1t with mixed feelings of pleasure and pain; of pleasure be- cause tfere is certain sociabiilty lbout 1t that is delightful while it asts, and of pain because of the work which follows afterward It Is easy enough in the getting and great fun n the eating. but when at a late hour. after much gayety at table, the poor young housekeeper is confronted by Tn enormous and indiscriminate pile of lnwashed dishes on the kitchen table. l shadow has invaded the household. md what appeared to have been sim )le repast now seems to have taken Ill the dishes In the press. The men the family usually help to carry out me dishes. but this is a mistake. be- cause when the male contingent under -akes this part of the evenings work. 't Is usually necessary to scrape tse bottoms of the plates as we'll as the ops.
 A Sunday night supper. however, nay be planned with a view to saving abor, and still be. everything that could be desired. Coming as it does, after the heavy early dinner, it should consist of dishes of a light and palata- Ole nature, which will not tax the di- sestion. Sandwiches or plain sliced bread and butter are a great help in he end, because they save the wash ing of bread and butter plates Two fishes are the very most that should De expected, and one should often be sufficient There should be no dessert, because of the heavy dish which winds lp most Sunday dinners
 One of tf csc dishes is generally pre- pared on the chafing dish. while the other is preferably a salad That makes only two plates all around. The ,hafing dish course may be anything rom bacon and eggs or sausages to ,reamed oysters and mushrooms Spasnettl is a favorite course, the spaghetti having been prepared earlier in the cay and the tomato sauce made 1t the table on the chafing dish Welsh rabbit Is always popular There is a novelty about it that gives a certain testivlty to the meal. Other suitable dishes are creamed eggs, creamed chicken, lobster la Newburg, mush- room stew. pigs in blankets. nudels au gratin. etc
 1t is d good idea to have fruit salad for the second course, for this partakes ot the nature of dessert and salad at the same time. Almost any fruit makes a delicious salad, but the best are pineapple. orange, grape fruit. chopped apple and lettuce, and pear With the pineapple salad. a thin mayonaise is best, with grape fruit or orange salads. French dressing is used, and with apple or pear salads. either kind
