majesty she often found 1t incumbent
upon herself to entertain the hand
some equerry. For this reason King
Edward, who always earnestly dis
claimed matchmaking talent, has been
credited with making the match Ger
tain it Is that the royal set seemed
much pleased with the union.
Few English brides Of high degree
have had such an assemblage Of the
royal family at the wedding as did
this dainty little American girl. Queen
Alexandra. especially radiant in white
brocade and silver. sat with King Ed
ward In a box Of the chapel royal
at st. James palace, where. In June,
1908, the ceremony was performed.
The present king and queen were
there, and SO, too, were Prince and
Princess Alexander of Teek. the Con-
naughts and a hundred others Of the
cream of Great Britnin's a~ristocracy.
The reception later at the home of
the brides parents, palatial Dorches-
ter House, was a magnificent affair.
The bride received rs a wedding gift
from her father Chiffon Lodge, twenty
five miles from London, n of the
most attractive country places In Eng
land. 1t cost just 100000, and the
new owners spent 100000 in remod-
cling it. There the Wards entertain
ed royalty. and there their son, who
had a king for his godfather and a
queen for his godmother, was born.
Unlimited wealth is at their command.
Mrs. Wards father is on immensely
wealthy man. Her mother Inherited
d huge fortune from her father, the
late d. 0. Mills. The Hon. John HUI
bert Ward was worth about $2,500,0O
at the time of his marriage. Mrs.
Wards parents are extremely liberal
and no doubt would be pleased with
their daughters social successes.
Should she become a large entertainer
there is no doubt that few. if any,
American hostesses could outshine the
Reds daughter with their millions
and the Wards splendid family pres
tige to back her. Therefore the fact
that she will open her town house
for the coronation festivities Is a mat
ter of much interest to many trans
atlantic social leaders. Her father Is

but for the fact that she cares little

Smart Motor logs.

Spring motor toggery has now appeared
in some of the shops devoted to this
special style Of costuming. IF signs come
true this season is TO see more attrac-
tive fashions for this form of sport than
have ever before been in vogue.
Some of the new straw motor hats
W hich are being shown for the southern
trade are both picturesque and becoming.
One of the new models is white Milan.
straw in a modified English walking hat
shape It is faced with red straw and
trimmed only with a straw buckle at one
side, in which is twisted some linen
fringe
Another hat is helmet of linen-colored
hair braid with cockade of chiffon of
the same shade. A big grass linen hood
in a picturesque shape is lined with dark
blue. II will be worn with a dark blue
veil. There is a dark brown straw bon
net of fancy braid, very picturesque, in a
poke shape and trimmed with two pink
posies, one over each ear.
The coats which are being shown for
the spring are of pongee, dark blue serge
and checked cheviots. They are not so
large and all enveloping as many motor
garments. Almost all are rather close
fitting, the upper part especially so. The
skirts of the coat are set on the upper
part like mans paddock ulster.

The China Wedding.

After twenty years OF married life the
china wedding may be celebrated. About
| this time the average housewife welcomes
any addition to her china closet. so there
is no question about appropriate gifts
for the occasion.
There is really not much decoration
| to be done except to eschew cut glass
and silver as much as possible, using
china in it's place.
Doll cups or plates may be used for
| almond and bonbon holders, and, If the
purse permits, small cup and saucer or
china spoon, such as may be found at
the japanese stores, may be given as
souvenirs. The names of the guests can
be written on little china plates to use
as place cards if the affair is dinner
or luncheon.
I heard of one couple who celebrated
| this anniversary by giving Chinese
party. The house was decorated with
lanterns. they wore costumes made from
gay Chinese cotton crepe, and rice was
served with chop sticks. A regular
Chinese supper was served, the viands
having been purchased from a reliable
chop suey place. This was a jolly, in
formal affair, hugely enjoyed by all for
tunate enough to be present. Red and
yellow, the favorite colors of the Chinese
were used in the decorations. and Joss
sticks were burned. These so-called joss
sticks were only the long incense sticks
with which we are wont to fight mOSqui-
toes in the summer time.

Feminine Fripperies.

| Tempting, indeed, are the new silk pet
| ticoats with their furnishings OF lace
and ribbon, and, yes, even flowers. The
girl who likes pretty things may be ex-
cused for cutting into her allowance or
| salary. as the case may be, and being
foolish for the sake Of one or two of
these creations.
From a simple little garment Of silk
with a mysterious swish, the petticoat
has evolved into a clinging web of satin,
crepe, silk or chiffon-not to mention
pillows Of lace.
One of the most exquisite models is of
pale blue crepe cut scant. A deep flounce
of real valenciennes lace is pleated, knife
fashion, and above it is hand paint
ed wreath Of wild roses. Clusters of the
| roses that look as IL they had just been
plucked from some country lane are
| caught in the lace at irregular intervals.
Another model is built of white MESA
line. The flounce proper has design of
American beauty roses in self-shades
woven in the satin, the bright colors
glowing bewitchingly through a pleated
fiounce of white chiffon.
An attractive garment of black and
f1ounce of stripes of black valenciennes
lace sewed together lengthwise, the
broadened effect at the bottom being OBJ
tanned by small triangular-shaped pieces
or the SILK inserted between TIC ldCc. n
ruche Of pinked black taffeta gave the de-
sired finishing touch
On odd-looking petticoat for the girl
who goes for fads was peculiar shim-
| merry shade of green like the sheen on
natural coque feathers. At intervals in
| the f1ounce were hand embroidered chan
| ticleers in red and green.
Among the prettiest, and what promises
| to be the most popular styles that have
| lately come into vogue are sunpleated
petticoats.
The sunpleats are quite broad at the
bottom, graduating to plainness just be-
low the hips. Messaline or crepe Is the
favorite material, and for the lingerie
dress there are models in China and
| Japanese silk. A wreath Of Woven-in
| flowers or a conventional border, in the
favorite color, or shade to match or
contrast with the gown, is one OF the at.
tractive possibilities Of the sunpleated
able. and with its tiny silk, chiffon or
lace ruche around the bottom it cannot
fail to occupy a prominent place in the
| summer girls wardrobe.

A Pantomime Party.

A hostess noted for her. clever enter
tainment schemes evolved this as her
latest: The Invitations requested that
the guests illustrate by pantomime and
costume what they would like to be. or
what vocation would be their preference.
The night arrived and with it many
laughable surprises. Every one entered
heartily into the scheme. Guesses were
made as to what was what or rather
"who was who" and there were q num-
Der Of prizes awarded.
The man supposedly devoted to a mer-
camille business appeared as captain Of a
base ball nine, the society belle Of the
town came as a Red Cross nurse a
young school teacher represented herself
as professional cook. with her Bingham
gown. apron, cap, ornamented with doll
size cooking utensils; she went through
the motion Of bread making, pie baking,
etc, in a most realistic manner.
The mother of six came in a low-necked
evening gown, carrying a grand opera
score, indicating by her actions that she
was about TO sing.
The whole affair was q lively repre-
sentation Of might have beens.'' or
would bees" and furnishes a gold mine
Of amusement. In fact, the hostess said
her secret was always to let her guests
do the entertaining, and then every one
was equally interested and every one had
a good time. It is gift to be leader
but it is talent that every one can cul-
tivate.

Cretonne Writing Set.

For the maid who loves white enam-
eled furniture and dimity curtains and
dresden china toilet articles nothing
could be more charming than a cretonne-
covered writing set for the boudoir desk.
1t is especially appropriate in a simple
rosebud design for a young girl.
First there Is the big blotter the foun-
dalton cut out of heavy cardboard after a
leather model and the cretonne carefully
pasted on. with tiny stitches to round
the corners properly. A narrow gimp
edgdng may be used il desired, but if
You can do the work neatly enough it is
really prettier without.
Next in order is the set of notebooks,
ranging from the big diary to the little
address book, and each neatly bound.
Here the gilt or green gimp is more in
order, but you may suit your own tastes
about that
Calendar the cards for the perpetual
variety may be bought, with a light,
cheap frame, at any stationery and pic
ture frames belong together; and after
them come the little boxes for pen points,
elastics. etc. These may be: merely little
jewelry boxes lined with silk or velvet
or. better, gray channels.
There are three articles which must not
be included in this set. These are the
ink well and the pen tray, because of
dlesticks, because of that Of fire. But if
you wish your set to be complete, you
can get these in dresden china, with a
little clock to match. In design closely
approximafing that of the cretonne. Per-
haps it would be better to buy the china
first, and match the cretonne from it.
All sorts of smaller articles, such as
little blotters. penwiper. paper-cutter,
etc., may be covered with the pretty fab
ric. OF course. brocaded silk may be
used instead, II you desire to make the
set a more expensive one.
And by the way. give q piece Of the
plain fabric with your present, or get
it extra II you are making the set for
yourself. For accidents will happen, and
first aid is a useful thing to have at
hand.

plan to place them near the fire after
they have been washed and dried
To clean japanned tray by far the
best plan is to rub the surface with a
little olive oil and then polish il with
"a piece of flannel. Boiling water should
never be used. If it is done the japan
ming will wear off or crack
In washing pastry board care should
be taken to use the scrubbing brush and
sand in the direction of the grain of the
wood. The dirt is by this means removed
without scratching the surface. The sand
should be washed off with plenty of cold
water and the board first wiped with a
clean cloth and then placed in the air to
dry.
If the boiler is rusty the best method
Of cleaning 1t is to rub it with a piece
of coarse kitchen flannel dipped in ashes
Should this method fail the experiment
